over-estimated. Mr.. II. f. Lane, the junior

for many5years. but only recently became
member of the firm.
THE INTERNATIONAL COMPANY.
Manufacturers Of Dressed Lumber of All
Descriptions, Cedar Shingles. Pine Box
Shocks. Chair Stock. Etc.
Newport's greatest manufacturing concern
is that of the International company 1t is
also one of the largest and best equipped in
the United States. 1t was incorporated in
1888 by an act of the state legislature with an
authorized capital of Il half million dollars
and is operated upon "a paid up
capital of $16O,OO0. The company
owns about % acres of land upon which their
buildings are located just across the line in
the town OF Derby and within three minutes
walk from Newport's hotel and depot. This
enormous plant consists of five main buildings
known respectively as sawmill, dressing mill,
boiler house, dry kilns and storage sheds. In
every respect this is Il modern institution,
being supplied from beginning to end with
the latest improved'machinery and appliances.
But to get proper idea of the concern one
must visit the plant itself. 1t cannot be de-
scribed fully in limited space. To begin at

to cars by steam power at the rate of 20 cars
per day, lifting the logs a distance of 40
feet. They are then brought 81 miles by rail.

than ten miles from their camp. Col.
Williamson accordingly decided that
the time had come for decisive action.
Sending two riders to gallop ahead to
the camp to announce that the troops
would arrive that evening, and to
see that big campfires were built
and abundant rations were cooked,
the colonel ordered the men to ride in
among the ponies with their revolvers
and shoot them as rapidly as possible.
This was speedily accomplished, and
in a short time the whole troop gal
loped away. leaving the Indians be-
hind with no resources except the food
which their dead ponies afforded. That
night as the soldiers sat around their
campfire after an abundant supper en-
joying the comforts of warmth and
stated appetites and their pipes as they
had never enjoyed them before, Lieut..
Williamson told how Capt. Parker
had saved his life by sharing his an
telope meat with him. But" said he,
with dolorous expression, "he made
me pay for it; I've got to give him my
months salary for piece of jerked
meat no bigger than my hand"
The time had now come for the cap
tain to let the cat out of the bag,
which he proceeded to do, and when
amid the rosrs of laughter of officers
and men, the young lieutenant real
lied how he had been duped and that
he had eaten pony meat after all, he
broke away from the campfire and
rushed out into darkness, where, as
the narrator who told me the story.
said, he threw up everything but his
commission. -Washington Star.

One of those good women who are
always willing to tell people they are
losing their sidecombs or hairpins, or
other belongings, sat behind young
lady who had a large velvet bow at
tached to the back of her neck. 1t
had become loose, but was in no dan
ger of falling. but the good dame could
not resist the opportunity. You're
losing your bow, miss" she whispered
In her ear. The girl grabbed the arm
of the young man next to her, and in
stantly retorted: mot much, | amt;

RINGS INDICATE CHARACTER.
To the Skilled Eye Woman Is Revealed
by Her Ring Tray.

Almost everything woman does or
says or wears is magnified by some one
into an indication of character. She
wears a certain style of shoe or wears
it in a certain way, and some one dis
covers that she is vain and a spend
thrift. She wears her gloves out in
the thumb and some one else discovers
that she is cruel or something else.
She has a fondness for laces and is
dubbed old-fashioned; she INDUCES in
studs and is called masculine. The
poor thing can wear nothing without
having some one consider her doing so
portentous- Her rings are no excep-
ton to the rule. The professional
finder of character in trifies can give
almost Sherlock Holmes resume of
woman's disposition and history from
sight of her jewel tray.
Is she very fond of solitaires? She IS
newly rich and anxious to display her
wealth, proclaims the characterized
err. Is she fond of the ordinary, fash
ionable stones in the ordinary fash
ionable settings? She is common
place. A woman who, with money
enough to buy a marquise ring of sap
phires and diamonds, has not enough
originality to buy something else, Is
distinctly commonplace according to
the interpreter of rings.
Does she wear tall settings on
pudgy little finger, making it look
pudgier than ever? She is inartistic.
Does she wear white pearls and crystal
clear diamonds on a hand that is not
as white as milk? She is worse than
inartistic. Does she wear oblong bands
of stones instead of tall vertical ones?
She begins to show CLEANS of origi-
nality and good taste. Does she have
her stones sunk into quaint silver
settings or old-fashioned chased
gold ones? There is hope for
her in an artistic sense. Does she
wear opals? She is venturesome. Who
but daring woman would defy SUI
perstition? Is she particularly attached
to deep red stones-rubies, carbuncles,
rarnets? She is of a forceful nature,
saws the character reader. Red is the
color beloved of people of passionate
dispositions. Is she fond of sapphires?
She is earnest, truthful, constant, in
tellectual
Does she wear but one ring, eschew-
ing all others? She is sentimental.
Does she wear great manye She is
vulgar, or at best frivolous Does she
wear none at all? She is poor.
So whatever she may do, the poor
thing is harshly interpreted. She might
As well, therefore, keep on doing what
she pleases-N. Y. World.

themselves in the darkness, fairly sur
rounded them and kept up continual
fire. They were unable to obtain any
sleep; the cold was still intense and
many OF them were wounded. 1t was
a fearful situation OF course the
cavalry could have mounted and gal
loped away, but they could not do this
and take the ponies with them, and II
they left them behind the Indians
would capture and mount them and
give chase, and, as they ohtnumbered
the soldiers two to one, battle would
be unequal
This state of things continued
through the next day and night, the
Indians becoming even holder than the
day before. The third day Col VIII
Hanson resolved TO move on at all
hazards. He realized that there were
two things that must be done-he must
take his men back to camp and he
must not let the Indians recover their
ponies. As they moved on across the
plain, keeping the ponies together and
driving them along, the Indians Soi-

commanding the government troops In
that district, resolved to punish them.
First, however, he sent them word
that they must cease from their depre-
dstions and return to their reserva-
ton. They treated his command with
contempt, and, accordingly, March !,
|lsn, Col. W. b. Williamson, acting
under orders from Gen. Crook, set out
with ten companies of cavalry, some
six hundred men, to make q forced
march to the place where the Sioux
were known to have established them
selves. His Instructions were to deal
the Indians the severest blow pos
| sible.
With pack horses to carry his ra-
tons and camp equipments Col. VIII
hanson proceeded to . point some
thirty miles from the Indians, and
there established temporary camp
and headquarters. Having done this
he left fifty men in charge OF the
camp and, supplying the rest with
such rations as they could easily oargy
in their haversacks, he set forth with
them for swift ride to the Indians
rendezvous, each man being armed
with carbine and a revolver and car
rying supply of ammunition. Among
the officers who accompanied Col. VIII
hanson were his son, Lieut.. Arthur
Williamson, who had as yet seen but
little rough experience, and Capt. Phil
Parker, who had been in several en-
gagements with the Indians, and who
was, moreover, shrewd In artifice and
device when occasion required. Col
Williamson knew that he should find
IN him a valuable assistant in his un-
dertaking, and he realized that his
Undertaking was difficult ono. The
Indians outnumbered his force prob
aoiy two to one. and they were ugly
ana full Of fight. The supply of
rations and ammunition they were
aoie to carry was necessarily small
ana the weather was fearfully cold.
