to lay my plans correctly it was neces- sary for me to see the ground myself. After moments hesitation l cons cluded to take the first sergeant with me.
 We tied punches of grass on our heads and then crept forward about ten yards apart until we came to the crest of the obstructing hill. I peered over, drew hastily back and took long breath. There they were! There was no doubt of that, for they were not 100 yards away, and at the first glance I saw that they were almost as many men as, l had.
 This was rather more than had bar gained for. had expected to meet ten or dozen, or, in case the bands had united, 30 at most. However, was in for it now. It would never do to re. treat, and my glory would be all the greater from such capture.
 took another glance and then beck. oned to my sergeant to fall back short distance for a consultation. As he came up to me, without waiting for me to speak, he said:
 'Lieutenant, think"
 He got no further, for at that point l interrupted him. As he began to speak the thought flashed through my mind: "There! As had expected he is going to presume on his position as an old soldier and give me advice" did not want any advice. I wanted the credit and the whole credit.
 Iknew that his advice would be good, for he was an old Indian fighter and a level-headed man, but that was all the more reason for my not wanting to hear his advice, for no doubt I should be in- fiuenced by it, and then should feel in honor bound to acknowledge his share in the success. Therefore, as he began to speak, I said, perhaps rather too abruptly:
 "Never mind, sergeant, what you think; join the troop and have them ready to attack as soon as I come back"

M'KiNLEY.s POPULARITY.
The Producers Want a Tari6 That Win

The Producers Want Tarin That Win
 Protect Them.
 The principal mugwump organ of the country directs attention to what it calls ''the very curious fact that the most genuine enthusiasm for Mckinley Is to be found among the farmers, a2d not, as one would have expected, among the artisans and manufacturers"-t only explanation of which, it goes on to say, with characteristic sheer, "is that the farming mind is peculiarly suscep- tible to the Mckinley logic.' It is true that McKinley's strength is greatest in the agricultural states, but there is nothing "curious" about it. The farm- CTS were persuaded to turn against pro- tection in 1892 with glowing promises of an enlarged demand and increased prices for their products, and they have found out by sad experience that they could not have made 2 worse mistake. X democratic tariff policy has been tried, and the result is diminished pros perity. Instead of securing new foreign markets they have been shut out of many to which they already had access, and they are not getting as much for their crops as they formerly received. They see where the trouble lies. "The farming mind" grasps the fact that Q return to the old system will be an advantage, and that the foremost cham pion of protection is the logical candi- date for that purpose.
 It is easy to account in this way for the Mckinley enthusiasm in Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, and other great agricultural states. The farmers have changed their minds about McKinleyism, under the practi- cal discipline of hard times and the costly failure of democratic tariff legis- lation. They have been fooled once, but they cannot be fooled again. It is not q theory, but condition, that is causing them to rally to the support of the distinguishd Ohioan whose states manship they hastily condemned in 1892. They look upon him as standing

A MARKED CONTRAST.
Queer Ideas of Presidential Rights Held by Democrats.

queer Ideas Of Pr0Bid0ntial Rights Held
 by Democrats.
 It used to be said by all good reform CTS that president of the United States who would use the powers of his office to influence the work of state conven- tion disgraced his eminent trust and placed American institutions in peril.
 Harper's Weekly. the New York Evening Post, in fact the whole news paper pack which now stands reverent- ly before President Cleveland, chanting his praises, used to start out every morn- ing in full cry after Presidents Grant and Arthur. Those distinguished Amer ican statesmen and patriots caused the reformcrs to shiver and shake. It was charged that they used their high office to influence state conventions, and roll ing their eyes in holy horror, the re- formers piously declared that until the abandoned machinists were relegated to hopeless obscurity, no hope need be indulged of ever having cleanly and decent government in the United States. Certainly, they swore, no man favored by them would descend to such in fanny.
 At that time the worst that was said even by ingeniously malicious enc mics of republicanism was that the power of the executive was employed to influence party matters in party con- ventions. The use of patronage for ex- ample aroused the reformers to a. state of great indignation.
 But 1t was never charged that the emissaries of the administration strode into a party convention with their pockets filled with bribes to debauch in a wholesale manner a majority of the delegates to one of their own conven- tions. Yet it is alleged that this was done in the recent democratic conven- ton in Michigan, and the whole subject is likely to be investigated by congress.

When everything should be ready would advance alone as far down the slope as possible, and as soon as dis covered, would call on the camp to sur render. At my call my men would ap- pear at the crest with their rifles cooked and aimed. I hoped by this plan to cap ture the whole camp without firing a shot.
 1 returned to my troop and carefully explained my plan. Again I thought that noticed one or two peculiar smiles on the mems faces. I paid no attention to them, but made the details for the | two parties to cut off the retreat up and down the stream.
 I selected trustworthy noncommis- stoned officers to command these parties, and started them for their des- ignated places. l then deployed my men as skirmishers, and after waiting a sufficient length of time for the two de tached parties to reach their places, gave the order for the men to advance cautiously to the crest of the hill. It was quite dark by this time, and with sigh of relief, I saw my plans completed without any alarm having been given.
 cautiously advanced alone till with in easy speaking distance, when I stepped into plain view and called for the surrender of the camp, at the same time telling them that escape was im- possible.
 I was perfectly astounded to see no commotion, no confusion in the camp, but in reply to my summons voice an- swered in good English:
 "All right, old fellow, we surrender. Now march your men in and have some supper"
 recognized the speaker as one of the captains from the next post, who was in command of a company of Indian scouts that I had mistaken for band of nos tiles.
 The joke was on me, and I had noth- ing to do but to make the best of it; SO, hiding my chagrin as best could, gave the order for the men to return for their horses and march into camp.
 The captain told me that all the hos tiles had returned to their reservation; but when his scouts had reported to him that we were following him, he had guessed that we had not heard of their return, but had mistaken his company for tie Indians. He had thought that it would be good joke on me to let me go ahead and capture his company.
 After supper, when I went to inspect the horses, the first sergeant said to me:
 Lieutenant, I started to tell you that ] thought that those were friendly In- dians, and when you sent me back to the troop, I cautioned the men not to shoot unless I proved to be mistaken"
 It would indeed have been dreadful mistake if anyone had been hurt. So I thanked the sergeant for his thought fitness, and at the same time mentally resolved that the next time I would listen to his advice.
 It did not take long, after returned to my post, for the story to leak out. But it was a long time before they tired of telling how captured company of our own Indian scouts.-Youth's Com- panion.

StiltOn Cheeao.

The secret of making Stilton cheese was for some time confined to the fam lily of the original inventors, who were under an engagement to sell all they could make to the famous Cooper Thornhill. of Stilton; and being thus to be obtained of him alone, it received the appellation of Stilton cheese, when it ought to have been named Wichcoto cheese, being first made in that small village, on the eastern side of Leicester shire, about 30 miles from Stilton.- Chicago Inter Ocean.
