of the South African war where hun

is no uncivilized people on earth, no
race which is utterly ignorant of what
we call the science of war, that can for
q minute compare with the Indians rs
warriors. No frontier general would
think of leading his troops against n
boly of Indians where the odds were
greatly against him. Why? Because
the Indian is naturally fighter and
marksman, and because he has been
quick to learn what the white armies
nave taught him i'll warfare.
Take that fight i'll which Sitting
Bull was killed. That was II skirmish,
it's true, but it illustrates my point.

sumo 20, 900 pounds of jute wrapping

in balls and, according to contract,
each ball has four inches of string
sticking out OF its middle. Thus EN-

ping from that end. Formerly they
were as apt as not to begin with the
wrong extremity, winding up with a
tangle, SO that n quarter OF each ball
on an average was wasted.
The Go, 900 postoliices use up 100
reams of MANILA paper blanks every
