Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1894-04-05

James Beckwourth, the famous
scout, who became a war chief under
the name of Medicine Calf among
the Crows has related to the North
American Review, an extraordinary
feat OF deviation which a great war
chief of the Crow Indians performed
in his presence on the eve Of leading
his warriors to battle The chief
was an aged man and professed to
have u premonition Of death, For
many moons he had led the Crows
successfully against their hereditary
foes, the Blackfeet. 1t was not his
heart that failed him now, but his
medicine had lost its protency,
In the dusk Of the gray morning
he led his braves out on an open
prairie, and, setting his shield on
edge some fifteen or twenty feet in
front of him, pointed to IL with his
lance, AS the eyes Of the fghing
men rested upon the embossed sur
face of the buckler 1t appeared to
rise slowly from the ground until 1t
reached Il height corresponding TO
the head of the chief; 1t then, by the
same invisible means, passed through
the air until it obscurcd his face and
hid IL from his warriors
A thrill Of horror pervaded the
assemblage, but no word was spoken.
1t was taken as an emblem Of his
approaching eclipse, his Punishment
from this world, his journey to the
land of the Great Spirit, to wh!ch all
Indians, good and bad alike, went
with unhesitating faith, The great
chief was killed that morning.

Ernnoe,s Deadly Rife.

The Mannlicher rife, which has
Just been tested in Europe, is de-
clared to be inferior to the French
arm. II that is so, our own troops
would have rather meager chance
il opposed to any of the crack army
corps of France. This rifle is smoke
less and has a range Of three miles.
An American naval officer who has
written an article upon the compare
tive power of European arms, said
that a sklllful marksman could Gre
ate havoc in an army with the new
rife at a distance Of two miles, and
that In an unsettled country it would
be impossible to tell from which
point the attack came. This would
seem to indicate that cavalry will be
a tradition herafter When the
enemy can lie In ambush and NOW
down horses and men two miles away
there will be no more stirring scenes
or stories Of carrying forts and other
strong positions by rush OF cavalry.
A twO-mile rush in the face Of a
storm of bullets coming from an I'M
known quarter would have results
compared with which the charge Of
the Light Brigade seems like child's
play. New York Sun.

which will serve as a protection dur
ing thunder or other showers Both
these inventions will, when they mate
rialize, be hailed with delight by all
wheelmen, who now are at the mercy
of all kinds of rough weather.
Taking everything into considera-
tion the lovers of this delightful sport
may look forward to q season which
will be pregnant within number of new
tangled ideas, both in the shape of
novel attachments as wella entire ma
chimes. The great aim Of makers Of
wheels is to combine comfort and dura-
bility In their productions.
At one time there was rather pro-
nounced prejudice against women using
the bicycle, but that has long since
given way to most enthusiastic ap-
proval OF its use among the fairer sex.
Fashion, which DEGREES most every
thing In the feminine world, has no
doubt had considerable to do with
making the wheel popular with women.
There is constantly growing demand
for machines" among ladies and young
girls and from men who take to the
wheel merely for its healthful exercise.
Tricycles are at decided disadvan-
tage nowadays and are rated very much
passe. Even the little folks look upon
these Anticipated affairs with contempt,
and almost rather go without fiding If

What They Should Wear When They Go
Out on Pleasure bent.
Women generally know how to
iress themselves and their children
'or most Of the functions" of society.
But they are often sadly perplexed as
TO how their husbands should be at
tired. Beyond knowing that men
should not wear evening clothes be-
ore 6 o'clock, their ideas on mascu-
inc garb are vague, And, as they
frequently have to decide the Ques-
Jon Of what their lords and masters
shall wear, 1t would be wise for them
10 read, mark, learn and inwardly
digest the following facts
At 2 o'clock weddings, known as
morning weddings, which are about
the only early festivities to which u
man can be dragged, the bridegroom
wears dark-striped trousers, double
breasted frock coat, undressed pearl
gray gloves, white four.in-hand, tall
hat and big boutonniere. The ushers
are SIMILARLY attired, and the mas
culIne wedding guests who aim to be
correct, wear clothes of the same
general fashion, though, Of course,
the style of their ties, gloves and
boutonnieres Is not prescribed by
law, At all fashionable morning
affairs this uniform, with some in
diyldual variations, is correct.
In the evening, Of course, evening
clothes are necessary, This season
prescribes three-button, plain shirt
front, a straight, stand-up collar,
either a black cloth walstcoat or a
double breasted, four-buttoned white
one. No jewelry is worn, and pearl
gray gloves, stitched with black, are
considered in best taste, as are patent
leather shoes. New York World.

PROPELLED by HANDS AND FEET

through mud and slush having a glori-
Gus time in making himself and others
believe that gentle spring has come.
1t is no longer necessary for the cy-
Gle enthusiast to, during the winter
months, consign his "trusty steed" to
an obscure corner, there to gather but
rust and dust. An enterprising genius
in Erie, Pa, has come to the rescue
which is to fill the ever-present long
felt want. The inventor claims
great things for this machine,
and if it can perform half of what
is promised, the ice cycle ought GER
tainly to become popular. The new
affair is provided with runners and has
a skate-like equipment clamped to one
of the wheels The tire OF the hind
wheel is furnished With sharp prongs
by the means OF which good grip is
secured on slippery surface. The
speed attained by the ice cycle under
favorable circumstances is said to be
very great. Nevertheless it is doubt
full if in its present development the
machine can become popular. 1t would
seem far more practicable to provide
some ad Unstable contrivance by which
any bicycle could be fitted out as a
skating machine at moments notice.
For the man who can evolve something
of the nature there is fame and fortune
in store. Though the ice bicycle has
some elements OF novelty the idea is
not altogether original.
The decided novelty in the bicycle
world, and one which will be sure
to create a sensation, is machine in
vented by M. VALERIE, noted French
engineer. 1t is on exhibition in Paris,
where it has attracted considerable at
tention from all wheelmen attending
the great bicycle exhibition now being
held in that city. The most serious OBJ
lection to the sport has been that
while the legs and their muscles
are getting more than enough of
exercise, the arm and upper portion of
the body receive relatively none,

Thanks 20 the Bear.

Almost a hundred years ago two
young men who lived in a Kentucky
fort went out to look for a strayed
horse. They wandered hither and
thither through the woods until, to-
ward evening, they found themselves
in a wild valley six or seven miles
from home. Here the younger Of
them, Francis Downing by name,
fancied that he heard the swapping
Of twigs behind them. Some Indians
were DIGGING their footsteps, he be-
lieyed. His companion, Yates, treat
ed the matter as a JEST and offered
to insure Downlng's scalp for six
pence,
Downing was not satisfied, and
finally, as he continued to hear the
suspicious noises, he fell behind
Yates some twenty or thirty PAGES,
and at a favorable spot sprang sud-
denly aside and dropped into a thick
patch Of huckleberry bushes Yates,
who was singing, continued his
course, and was soon out Of sight.
Almost at the same moment two
Indians pushed aside the stalks Of a
canebrake, and looked cautiously in
the direction that Yates had taken.
Poor Downing, fearing that his own
movements had been observed, deter
mined to fire upon the savages, but
In his nervousness-he was hardly
more than boy-he let off his gun
without taking aim.
Then he started to run. Very
soon he met Yates, who had heard
the report, and had fastened back to
see what was the matter. The enemy
was now in full view, and the two
white men ran for their lives Yates,
who was the faster Of the two, would
not leave Downing in the lurch,
The Indians gained upon them
steadily, till they came to a deep
gully. Yates cleared it easily enough,
but Downing, being pretty well ex-
hausted, fell short, and after striking
the farther bank, dropped to the bot
tom. The Indians meantime we're
crossing the gully little farther
down, and seeing Yates making off
ahead, they took chase after him.
Downing crept along the bed Of the
gully till it became too shallow to con-
ceal him; and then, looking up, saw
oneof the Indians returning, evident
ly to look for him. Again he took to
his heels, and the Indian followed.
All hope of escape was dying out Of
the young fellows heart when he
came to an overturned poplar-tree.
He took one side of it and the In
dian took the other. Just then the
Indian yelled. A she-bear, it ap-
peared, was sucking her cubs in a
bed which she had made near the
roots of the tree. She greeted the
Indian with hug, and Downing did
not tarry to see how the interview
terminated. New hope put new life
into his legs, and he reached the fort
in safety, where he was welcomed by
Yates who had arrived two hours be-

of the scheme. He uses ten-foot mast
and an eight-foot boom and fastens the
mast in head block. This block must
not be fastened to the handle bars, but
must te bolted to the joint below the
elbow, as this allows the free use of the
handles to direct the wheels course.
The cost OF the whole outfit, including
nice sail ought not to exceed SO.
1t requires but very little practice to
become an expert in handling the sail
and with favorable wind the speed
ought to be about thirty miles an hour.
AS a matter of course, great care must
be taken in sailing along the country
roads. While scudding under a stiff

the boom entirely, and simply carry a

portions rugged on an exceedingly
light but tough bamboo frame. TO
prevent the possibility OF sudden
capsize a steel outrigger having little

When not in use it can be put up with

little outrigger enables the land sailor

Patriotism Run Riot.

At Buda Pesth, the capital of Hungary,
every prominent house which did not dis
play tokens of mourning for Kossuth had its
windows broken by madcap students and
their rabble followers.
Conflicts with the police resulted in many
being hurt.
Inside the parliament house there was n
large attendance of deputies and the public
galleries were packed with people, either
dressed in mourning, or conspicuousy wear
ing mourning badges.
When the president arose TO Address tho
house, the most profound silence was OBJ
Served throughout the chamber. All tho
deputies arose from their seats and stood
with bowed heads while the president an
nounced the death Of Louis Kossuth. The
president was deeply affected while making
tho address.
He almost broke down when he spoke OF
the patriots death in foreign land.
