Washington, Nov 2O.-The govern
ment has decided to make no further
experiments with Indians as soldiers.
The young Sioux who attracted so
much attention in the uniform of IN
Gle Sans cavalrymen at the dedica-
ton of the Worlds fair have all been
discharged from the army and it has
lust been decided to abandon the at
tempt to make soldiers of them. The
officers of the army who were assigned
to recruit and command the Indian
troops, made every effort to bring the
Indians to obey military discipline, but
the plan was a failure, and it was
found practically impossible to make
them good soldiers. Hereafter Indians
will be used only as scouts.

TENEMENT HOUSE FIRES.

Insurance Patrol Works a. Faithfully For
the Poor as For Those Who Are Insured.
There is an article in st. Nicholas on
"The Fire Patrol, - written by Charles
I. Hill, who has contributed a series Of
papers to that magazine on the New
York fire department Mr.. Hill says:
At fires in the homes Of the poor these
detachments of the patrol work just as
earnestly and conscientiously to save
property as they would in the expensive
ly furnished mansions of the rich At
tenement house fires they are Of great
service First, they aid In getting the
people out; then, gathering the goods
together, the patrolmen protect them
from water with tarpaulin covers The
majority of these fires break out in the
Easements or cellars, then, following
the air and light shafts to the top floor,
they spread and do the greatest damage
in the upper stories To extinguish these
fires the other floors below have to be
flooded, and were it not for the fire pa
troll in many cases the poor families
would lose everything they owned.
One of the captains of the patrol re-
marked: why. it would do your heart
good if you could hear how profuse
these poor people are in their thanks,
and the blessings they shower on us
when they find we've saved their things.
They go running around, wringing their
hands and crying, 'Everything's lost,
everything's lostP And then, when the
fire is out, we lead them back and show
them their things, as dry as chip I'M
der the covers, and-well, say, there
isn't anything they wouldn't do for us
Half the time they're not insured, and
1t isn't our business to protect people
who are not, but we're not supposed to
know everything, and our orders are to
protect property first and find out
whether it is insured afterward, and It
is not our fault if we save the little all
of lot of poor creatures who half the
time haven't change of clothes to their
backs. You bet we get to work just as
quick in a tenement house fire as in a
big house on Fifth avenue, and we do
the same work in both places, no mat
ter whether it's for the rich or the poor"

so he sat on, his face drawn and ghast-

a long goodby to the girl he loved;
thought strong, manly thoughts of her
that kept fear from his heart. But
while his utmost self talked with Dorrie
his flesh grew gray and pinched, the
lonely silence broken only by the steady
ticking of his clock of doom.
Dorothy that night sat reading, then
later fell to wondering of Arthur alone
in that great building, and at the
thought of his loneliness all her heart
went out to him, and perhaps some Of
her soul, for her body fell asleep. Then
she, too, woke with a start-a start of
perplexity and fear; fear for Arthur.
What was it? She passed her hand over
her forehead, bewildered. What was ii
why could she not remember? Then
the ticking of the clock on the mantel
caught her ear-caught it strangely,
and she listened, breathless, trembling.
Tick tack, tick tackI What did it mean:
Then slowly and softly a solemn voice
fell on her inner ear: ''Goodby, Dorrie!
Goodby, darlingp'
"Ahl" She rose to her full height;
was rigid there for an instant; then
quietly: "Yess know. / understand. .
She walked quietly to her father S room,
took his keys and, taking her hat and

moments; then, opening them, he saw a
face in the doorway gazing at him. To
him it seemed the soul of Dorrie, come
to say "Goodby.
He was not afraid, hardly awed. 1t
was not real. Dying mems eyes are
sometimes strangely clear. He noticed
the hat, the coat, the face drawn with
fearful anguish. Souls did not look like

breath as he stopped over the girl and

breath of half fearful relief, he looked

In an east side public school, where
they teach reading in the lower grades
by what is known as the sight system
that is, by talking of subject supposed
ly interesting to the children and then
writing sentences about it on the black
board-the following incident occurred:
The lesson related to nature and the
subject of worms was touched upon.
The teacher drew upon the blackboard
the picture of worm and underneath
it wrote: "This is a worm. Do not step
ON it. /" This she read to the children,
and the lesson for the day was ended.
The next morning she called for volun-
teers to read the sentences, and little
miss of s responded to the call. Wheth-

Tired Of Quarreling with Conductors.

Much amusement was afforded the
passengers on a Union station trolley
car in Portland by businesslike passen-
ger, who demanded receipt for his
fare. DO you think I'm dishonest?"
asked the conductor II don't know"
replied the eccentric man. fI've never
been on your car when it was crowded. +"
After making many sarcastic remarks
the conductor signed his name to the
piece Of paper handed him by the pas
senger. The receipt was worded as fol-
lows: Received 8 cents for fare from
passenger riding from Elm street to
Union station. " On being asked why he
wanted receipt, the man said he was
getting tired quarreling with absent
minded conductors, who frequently
asked for the necessary nickel after it
had been paid He also said that few
nights ago in Boston he had to get two
passengers to prove that he had paid his
fare AS the man was always placed in
an embarrassing position on such occa-
sions, he adopted the receipt method in
order to save further trouble in the fu-
ture. -Kennebec Me. } Journal

Mangles in one form and another have
been used for hundreds of years, but the
steam mangle of the present day is es-
sentially modern machine Steam man
giles are made Of various sizes, with rolls
ranging in length from 48 inches to 100
inches. One of the rolls is of hollow
steel and heated with steam. The auxil-
larry rolls are of iron, covered with cot
ton cloth and blankets or felting. Steam
mangles are made also with two hot
rolls. In ironing such things as sheets
and tablecloths by hand, it is customary
to iron one side only. Steam mangles

From the washing machine the things
go to an extractor to be dried. The ex-
tractor revolves at high speed, and the
moisture is whirled out by centrifugal
action. From the extractor, just damp
enough to work we'll, the things go to
the mangle. Such things as sheets are
fed into the great ironing machine by
two men, each holding corner. There
is fixed table, as long as the rolls, at

Two men receive the sheet there and
fold it. In ironing small pieces like
napkins and towels on such machine

standing on one side and be received by
another row of girls on the other SIDE
On the largest machines there would
be six or eight girls on each side. Amer

Straying adown her brow as though to gaze
Into her violet eyes, sunny maze
Of sunny curls lay in its sunny years.
Parted her lips, and all the world grew gay
To hear the music at the gates of pearl.
Dimpled her cheeks, and lol each pretty

Shaking with sunshine, made midwinter May.
