A FAMOUS CORPS
The Brave Guldes Of the Enslish Army
in india.

The Brave Guldes Of the EnslIsh Army
In India.
The guides are pre-eminently the
fighting corps Of the Indian army. "the
steel head of the lance couched for de-
tense of India" The origin of the corps
was curious. It was raised and formed
on the principle Of setting thief to
catch h thief, for in the year 1s4e Lieut..
Lumsden suggested to the government
that the best way Of keeping quiet the
wild frontiersmen of Peshawar was to
form o regiment out of the motley race
Of freebooters then the terror OF north
ern India. Even Dilawar Khan. the
Christian subadar. lad once been a
mountain brigand. From the time of
their formation until the present day.
the corps of guides have been more
hard fighting than any other regiment
in the indian service. They are con-
stantiy employed against the predatory
hill tribes sworming in the mountain
ous districts Of the northern frontier.
IN expeditions Of which the public hear
little or nothing. but which, neverthe-
less. afford ample scope for the hne
fighting qualities Of the guides.
The regiment is made up Of Pathans.
Sikhs. Coorhhas and runjabis. The diff
ferent troops and companies-for 1t il
both an infantry end . cavalry regi-
ment-are each composed entirely cf
men Of the same religion and nation
slity. This arrangement has gwen to
each company and troop a separate
esprit de corps, and the ambition o'
each 10 to eclipse its rival in valor
against the common foe.-San Fran.

But Tabby herself, rubbing up

tallow still adhering to her fur, served
as q mute contradiction to this last as
scrtion.
''Go for the police" said Miss Hard
scrabble, her voice rising a semitouc
higher, ''or shall Instantly discharge
yuu without your months wagcs!"
Thus adjured, Betsey Jane gruln-
blingly took down the sleeves which
were rolled up above pair of plump
and mottled arms. removed her checked
apron, and reached down her hat from
the pegs behind the kitchen door.
"Hurry. why don't you?" said Miss
Hardscrabble.
II am a-hurrying, amt II" retorted
Betsey Jane.
But at this moment a rumbling sound.
like the throcs of miniature earth
quake. struck on both their ears.
"He's knocked down the whole hall

"He's banging at the door to get out"
shrieked Miss Hardscrabble.
Away went Betsey Jane after the
police, while her mistress locked her
self in and considered whether there
was enough red lavender and vslerian
in the house to justify her in going intn
Mysteries. And then the police arrived,
and she hadn't time to indulge her
nervousness.
''Come out of here. you villin'!"
growled Policeman 2O.OO002.
"Let me out!" roared voice from the
inside.

And. catching mp the tin cup which
contained . cents worth of yeast, Bet
sey Jane hurried home, much relieved
by this free expression of her mind to
Mrs. Jones, the bakers wife. With all
the speed which she could make, how.
ever, Miss Zeruiah Hardscrabble was
lying in wait for her behind the parloI
door when she came in.
''Betsey Jane" said she, severely

Miss Hardscrabblc nearly annihilated

the candle and set forth on her nightly

At this iuncture the flute. ed doves Of

Miss Hardscrabble uttered shrek,

Mr.. Hardscrabble. who, with his mouth

"Dearest pal" exclaimed Miss Hard

"Don't be a fool. Zerriah!' was his

Through the back kitchen--peeping

The stonc-paved hall toward the vault

"Ha!s said Miss Hardscrabble, with a

my way. Ny wife never allowed such
liberties from her own. They were
afraid Of spanking or Of being shut up
in the parlor when they got too bolster
GUS. And now she pleads for this boy
and says he is nothing but a baby. But
I'll get him some of these days when
she goes to the missionary meeting
see il don't. I've promised him lick
ing every day for two months and he
retreats to her and looks defiance at
me. But I'll get him. see II I don't. He
is nothing but baby. but he takes the
dog to the cow lot and sets him on the
cow, and when tell him that the cow
will horn him and that she gives him
milk. he says he don't want any more
milk. He lets the chicken out of the
coop. but he is nothing but a baby. But
I'll get him before the year is out-see
If I don't. TIL do like Dick johnson,
who was trying to raise his boy on love.
But the boy got SO bad that one day
Dick picked up lath and walloped him
good. 1t was a desperate remedy and
had a fine temporary effect. and Dick
walked the piazza with a triumphant
stride. 81 told you was going to whip
you. sir. For five long years have
promised you whipping and now you
have got it. you son of Belial." And
Dick pufIed and blowed like he had
fought q great battle and whipped the
fight. He Dragged about the perform
ance for week. But it didn't do the
boy any lasting good. The whipping
came just five years too late. ! never
did take much stock in bad little boys.
They are a nuisance, not only at homr.
but abroad. Boys rhyme with noise,
and the, little rascals want' a gun or
some fire crackers or . drum or . tin
horn. It always seemed strange to me
that mothers love their boys better
than their girls, but I reckon it is right.
I have known boys who had no other
friend. A father loves his boys accord
ing 10 their conduct, but = mother loves
them anyhow.
A sweet little girl is treasure in the
family. She is very close kin to the
angels. Her value cannot be estimated
in dollars and cents. II she is seriously
sick the alarm paralyzes everything
about the house. We whisper our anx-
ieties in sad voices. We walk lightly
and close the door gently and breathe
our prayers silently. If she dies there
is an aching void the world can never
fill.
What is the value of child? When
the railroad train kills man the law
yers sue for his value. It may be 81 600
or $4,000 or $4,000 according to his
consequence. but that is nothing when
compared with the value Of little child.
How rich these mothers are-rich in
their children! How utterly poor when
they lose them!-Bill Arp. in Atlanta

that wasn't full of mischief and frolic.
Thought would take little nap on the
sofa while they played around. but it
was no use. They got all the chairs in q
row and played railroad and locomotive
awhile. Then they played soldier, and
fred guns and killed one another and
fell dead. Then they played horse and
ran round the center table. thought
the little girls would get tired after
awhile and settle down to their dolls
and make a playhouse, but the boy
didn't like that and 50 the racket con-
tinued. They turned the chairs upside
down and slid down the backs head
foremost and rolled over and turned
somersaults. and then jumped OF
the table and the lounge and shook the
floor and made the windows rattle like
an earthquake. Will they never get
tired? thought I. No. never. But by
and by, when my wife came home she
settled them down and played club
fist and trimbletoc with them and had
peace.
Ny folks have got an idea that It
