Reports received at the War Depart

tions among the troops i'll the Far
West show conclusively, relates the
Washington Star, that the noble red

military service does not compare
very favorably with his pale-face
brother in the matter of sharpshoot-
ing. There is popular idea, gained
from Cooper's Leather Stocking Tales
and even more modern literature
about the "dusky denizens of the for
est" that all warriors are superior
marksmen. Army statistics prove that
this is romantic delusion, so far us
the Indian soldier is concerned.

Some time ago Mr.. Carnegie, the ex-
tensive iron-masteT, was approached
by the relief committee OF Pittsburg
and asked what he was willing To- do
for the suffering unemployed of that
city. Mr.. Carnegie replied that
he would duplicate the sub
scriptions OF the whole city. The
committee went to work with "a
will to make him give as much rs pos
sible, and had up to a few days since
secured subscriptions amounting 10
S60, 795, when 10y some means Mr.,
Carnegie's offer became public. The
committee says that the publication
has done an incnlculable injury To- the
good work, a. the subscriptions at
once fell on to almost nothing. The
people OF the city argue that II the
millionaire Is going TO give So large a
sum II is unnecessary 90 make au

A misty December sunrise lighted
up the window panes.
Lucien went out, pawned his watch,
took bath, breakfasted, and went to
recruiting officer, where he signed a
voluntary engagement in the First
African Infantry.
To-day Lucien de Hern is ieuten-
ant, he has only his pay to live on,
but he gets out of it very well, being
steady officer and never touching a
card; it would seem also that he finds
it possible to save something out of it,
for the other day, at Algiers, one of
his comrades walking little behind
in hilly street of the Kaspa, saw him
give something to little sleeping
Spanish girl in doorway, and he had
the indiscreet curiosity to see what
Lucien had given to the child.
The inquisitive one was much sur
prised at the generosity of the poor
lieutenant.
Lucien de Hern had put in the hand
of this INDECENT child twenty five.

Only thirty-five vessels have been
built at Baltimore during 1898, while
sixty-one were built there in 1892.
The registered tonnage shows an even
greater decline. In 1892 it was II, 277
tons, while in 1898 it was but 55S9.
"This," comments the New York Sun,
sis striking indication of the extent
of the depression in the shipping in

India, where, it is reported, $4,000,
600 are on the verge of starvation, not
because there is unusual deficiency of
food, but because excessive taxation
and monetary uncertainty have re-

to line bordering on pauperism.

break my vow than be ere mated
alive, so the following morning,
as Old Sol sailed majestically up
from behind the grand old
Rockies, we were well on our
journey toward the land of the
Nez Perez and the home of the
Camas.
The first twenty miles of our
journey was across Lewiston
Prairie, where vast wheat fields
stretched on either side as far
as the eye could penetrate the
great clouds of dust raised by
the rapid passage OF our vehicle
and then began the slow and
tedious climb up the steep sides
of Craig Mountain. Half way
up we came suddenly upon that
beautiful gem, Gods own Kohl
moor, Lake Waha, nesting down
midst the evergreen foliage O
the mighty frs which formet
a setting more beautiful thar

of the Master. The little lake il
only about half a mile long, bu

interrupted by the sudden stoI

OF short duration, our plea

the seat beside the driver,
peered anxiously into the d,

to the last notch, and the re

down the steep grade of I'll
mountain, turning and TWIST
about among the huge trees, n;

Knew Whore He Got Hts support
A Memphis man vOuches for the
truth of the following election story:
"A number OF years ago was living In
certain Mississippi town. The Mayor
OF the place and myself were bOarders
in the same house. The Mayor was q
man who loved his own way, and when
the election day rolled around great
many people thought that now was O
good time to teach his honor that he
was not the only man In town. Our
landlord, Of course wanted to be pleas
ant to his bOarder, and was prOflise In
expressions of fealty to his cause. 1t
turned out that the Mayor only re-
ceived one vote for re election. He
came home. where the news OF his de-
feat had preceded him, naturally sOme-
what disgruntled and out OF sorts. The
landlord at once began to offer cOnsOla.
ton of the sort that is common on such
occasions, telling the Mayor that he
would live to come again, and at some
election In the future would put his
enemies to rOut and be triumphantly
elected. i did all could for you, con.
cluded the landlord; 4 voted for you
myself You are an Internal liar,
rOared the irate Mayor; 4 got only one
vote, and voted for myself"
