Ho Writes Thril1ingly Interesting and
Romantic Story of Western Experi-
ence--A Pure, Pathetic and
Lifeline Picture.

The history of our western border
from the day when the first adventur-
GUS white men, set foot upon the fur
Their shore of the turbid Missouri teens
with stories of adventure and desperate
heroism, That history III tinged with
| blood upon almost every page. Every
advancing footstep in the great march
of progress has been stubbornly dis
puted by the Indian claimants Of the
territory, but, with intrepid men in
the lead, the great army Of home seek
ers has marched steadily forward and
thrown out its bankers On either side,
until the whole western country has
! been SCARED with the pillow or stabbed
with the pick of the miner, while the
Indians, crushed into submission to the
inevitable, are herded like beasts OF
the field within the limits of their res
ervations. There they lie in dreamy
idleness, supported by the government,
of no benefit to themselves, Of no bene-
fit to the people at large--of benefit
only to the officials who draw fat sal
aries for governing them and to the
gray backed pests which form their
acquaintance in infancy and hang to
them through life, depending for sus-
tenance upon the bronzed bodies over
which they roam almost unmolested.
The really distinguished heroes who
have by their intrepidity and iron cour-
age reaped undving fame from the
CORY field of Indian warfare, can be
enumerated on the fingers of the
hands. Prominently over ali stands

idiot while the Indians were escap-
! ing, and ordered him to follow and
| kill every one Of them. The troop
dashed ahead and overlook the Indians
| in the sand hills across the river and
had an awful fight with them, for
| more Indians had come after the band
that chased us. Papa sent his orderly
flying back to the fort after the sur
geon and an ambulance, and then he
fused around and Rugged me and
called you good and bad names until
the surgeon came. Then you were
lifted in the ambulance, papa scolding
the soldiers and telling them he would
annihilate them 1T they hurt you. On
the way in you recovered consciousness
but were delirious. You kept begging
me. to fly to the fort and save myself
and leave you to your fate, and papa
asked If you had talked that way when
you was fighting the Indians, and when
told him those were your very words
his lips trembled, and he turned his
back and began to abuse the poor
driver for running over stones. And
that's the whole story, dear, from q
to lizard

The old man entered the ward and
walked up to the wounded mans cot.
There was look of unmistakable ten
derness in his face as he gazed on the
pale features of the wounded man, and
then on his daughter. >
How is your patient, Sunshine'' he
asked in the mildest tone of voice she
had ever heard him use outside Of his
own home.

we now feel sure he will recover from

not true. Lieut.. Yandever never came
nesr him That officer now kept close
in the seclusion of his own quarters
only when obliged to come forth on
duty. When his troop was ordered
hastily into the saddle to fly to, the as
sistance Of Brown in his defense Of the
commanders daughter Vandeyer
pleaded illness and took to his bed for
day. The looks of contempt which
were cast at him by the other ofhc
after that day made his life one not to
be envied, and it was not long before,
at his own request, he was transferred
to a distant garrison, where he vowed
he would begin his military career
anew.
With tender, loving hands Alice adj
ministered to her lovers every want,
and the roses deepened in her cheeks,
her eyes grew brighter and her musical
laugh took on a more joyous ring as
she noted his fast increasing strength.
When he was at last permitted to rise
from his cot and walk slowly about
the ward supported by her arm, she
seemed happy and Joyous as child.
One fine mornohg before Alice had
come to the hospital on her daily mis-
sion OF love, the surgeon and Brown
sat talking in :he formers Office.

An OLD Lady's First Visit to Great
Ia City.
The last passenger to leave the 4:30
train on the Michigan Central railroad
after it drew to standstin one after.
noon recently was a little old woman
in black. A wisp of gray hair struggled
from under an old-faahioned poke bon
net, and pair Of kindly blue eyes
looked out from behind her steel
trimmed spectacles. In one hand she
(. carried huge, shiny valise, the key Of
which was tied to the handle with q
strip of calico cloth. When she was
part way up the platform she stopped
with a ;troubled look and watched the
baggagemen toll by with their loaded
trucks. Presently she dropped the va
lise and opened big black fan which
was fastened to her waist by a velvet
ribbon. After she had waited some
time, one of the depot ushers came
along and asked if he could lie of any
service to her.
"Why, thank you, Think not" she
answered.; '1'm waiting for Dick Rob
inson." =
The depot usher hurried on and paid
no more attention to the little old
woman. When he came back a half
hour later, she was still standing
where he had left her, gently tanning
herself with the black fan. HAS your
friend come yet?'' asked the usher.
''No," she answered. His watch
must have been slow"
ibid he expect you by this train?"
'Well, you see, it's this way. Last
summer, Dick and his wife came over:
to Griggsburg to visit the Cooperses.
While they were there they. came over
often to my place to get drink of but
termi1k. Well, we got friendly and
Sarah told me lot Of things about
. Chicago, and that she couldn't, by no
manner of means, get buttermilk in
the city. Before Dick went back he
came around and says: Mrs. Beggs,
just take run up to Chicago next sum-
mer and visit us. Let us know when
you're coming, and I'll meet you at the
depot And so I'm here. and I've got
three jars Of fresh buttermilk for them
in that bag"
The depot usher helped the little old
woman to seat in the waiting-room
and then he searched the directory for
Richard Robinson. His charge couldn't
help him much because she didn't know
Dicks occupation.
s.All know she explained, lis that
he's genuine gentleman, and If he
had got my letter he'd . been here"
The usher made a list Of. two or three
addresses and put the woman in charge
Of trusty cabman with instructions to
find s.Dicl ~ Two hours later the
driver. came back with the report that
his fare was delivering her buttermilk.

z serial line. It will be received by
American readers rs refreshing relief
from the usual biood-and- thunder style
81 border literature with which the
land has been for 50 long flooded. It
is pure, pathetic, romantic picture OF
western experience, moral in tone, ele-
! waiting in influence, and true to life as
7 1t Is seen In a frontier garrison. The
story is deeply interestingly every line,
ct times exoitingiy dramatic, yet free
from all the Objectionable features en-
bodied ii the lu1 id stories which exert
such pernicious influence over the
young readers Of the land. With q
timidity in keeping with his modest,
sensitive nature, Capt. Jack submitted
the manuscript of his story to few
prominent army officers now in active
service, men Of wide experience In
border Indian wars, before venturing
! to submit it to q publisher, and from
every military critic he received words
of warmest commentator for the true,
natural, romantic picture of border
garrison life he had drawn from e. field
SO familiar to them. One distinguished
officer, himself a writer of wide
reputation, assures the scout
author that Capt. Charles King,
the wel-known military novelist, mover
wrote story Of army life SO thrilling
ly interesting in every detail nor SO
true to garrison life as is this first ef-
fort of the famed horderman.
1t will prove a marked literary fea-

recently explained before an audience

Of the tobacco habit by ladies'. OBJ

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The text OF
the opinion of Chief Justice Full er
in the income tax case, which was de-
ivered on the S,h inst, was made pub
lie during the day. The op MON is pre-
coded by an elaborate review Of the
history Of the case. The opinion proper,
which Is very lengthy, is introduced
with the statement that the "constitu-
ton provides that representatives and
direct taxes shall be al portioned among
the several states according to numbers,
and that no direct tax shall be laid ex-
cept according to the enumeration pro-
vided; and also that all duties, imposts
and excuses shall be uniform throughout
the United States"
BY far the greater part of the opinion
is devoted to the consideration of the
question whether a tax Oh rents is q
direct tax within the meaning of the
constitution.
