Our Oldest Regiment.

The Third regimnet of infantry in the
regular army of the United States is our
oldest military organization. 1t began
its history as the First regiment, estab-
lished in June, 1884. 1t was with mad
Anthony Wayne in his Indian cam
paigns. 1t was also prominent in the
war of 1912, and spent a decade of its
existence in the great lake region. Then
it went to Florida during the Seminole
war, and had its place at Pala Alto, Re
SAGA de la Palma, Monterey, Cherebuscc
and Vera Cruz in the Mexican war. The
Third also fought Navajoes and Apaches
for upward of 90 years. and during the
civil war took part in 81 battles and
sieges, losing in killed and wounded and
missing 267 men. The fighting regi-
,nent paid Pennsylvania visit during
the riots of 1S77.-Chicago Chronicle.

Patience.

Every man must patiently bide his
time. He must wait, not in listless
idleness, not III useless pastime. not in
querulous detection, but in constant,
steady and cheerful endeavor, always
willing, fulfilling and accomplishing
bis task, that, when the occasion comes,
he may be equal to the occasion. The
chief secret of success is nothing more
than doing what you can do well, with
out thought of fame. 1t is very in
discreet and troublesome ambition
which cares so much about fame, about
what the world says of us. to be always
looking in the face of others for approx
al, to be always anxious about the eff
feet OF what we do or say, to be always
shouting to hear the echoes of our own
voices. Cherish patience as your favor
tie virtue. Always keep it about you.
You will find use for it oftener than for
all the rest. Being patient is the hard
est work we have to do through life

CHAPTER XXEI.

WITH y CRY OF TRIUMPH BOW LEGGs
FELL FORWARD INTO THE VERY MOUTH
OF THE MAGAZINE.
On the night of the 18th, as Biacl;
Beard and his men were seated around
the festive board, he remarked:

Gibbs.
We'll carry goodly quantity of the
powder and ball. We must have good
nights sleep, as this is the last one we
spend on the island.
At midnight all was silent in the
cabin, and then it was that the revenue
boat, Mervine, landed 40 men, among
whom were Carr and Briggs.
Bullion led the way with the two Off
GERS on either side. When they got
around to the estuary and down the
ledge where the schooner Jay, there was

The sturdy seamen bent to the oars,
and with the captain at the helm the
boat glided rapidly down the river.
But one there was aboard who was des-
tined to never reach the island, for they
were yet three miles away, and crossing
the inlet, when Herbert, who had been
constantly muttering and talking 10

THOSE GOOD OLD TIMES.
When There Was Pleasure and PrOfit
in Stock Buying.

When There Was Pleasure and PROBE
in Stock Buying.
"'Just after the war Michigan was a
great state for stock" said a stock dealt
er of Chicago. Il began business life
on Michigan deal which was the foun-
datiOn of what the newspapers term
with a twinkling glance-'my princely
fortune. This method of handling
stock was so different from that which
prevails to-day, with our people con-
trolling the price of the world and our
'say-so' more autocratic than that of a
car, it may be interesting to speak of
and impossible now.
1.-TWO of us entered Michigan, coming
as far as Ann Arbor. We purchased
5000 sheep and with another man and a
dog started to drive them to Iowa
Different from methods of to-day, isn't
it! We paid S125 apiece for the sheep.
We had a wagon and in the back of it a
barrel of cider. Well, we were just four
months on that trip, but it was good,
healthy exercise, and I believe we en-
| joyed every moment. OF course there
were anxieties. For example, when we
struck Illinois some of the roads weren't
| properly fenced and the sheep would
scatter out all over the country. Then
| came lively work, but, fortunately, the
| dog was as good as four men.
L often think of the trip and COM
| pare in with the present. Now we would
! bring that many sheep to Chicago in as
many days and less as it formerly took
months. Now, instead of personal so
licitation among the farmers, a tele-
| gram serves. Instead of driving the
sheep and having that healthy outdoor
exercise on horseback, the cattle come
in cars and are here shortly after being
ordered. Instead of saying to the farm
ers and others: How much will you
give for these sheep?' we say to the
| great United States: You will give SO
much to-day for Sheep and no one can
or will contradict US, and our prices are
as fixed as the Rock of Gibraltar But
never have / earned 81 900 with so much
satisfaction to myself asst earned from
that first trip. 1t was the foundation
of a modest fortune"-with a laugh
land good, honest foundation it was
