BULLET PROOF.
Rmarkable Cloth Tested That Comes
Very Close to 1t.

This week there is TO be a further
test in Chicago of the power of Zeg-
ler's bullet-proof cloth to resist the
s~teel-jacketed missiles Of the krag-
.J%orgensen rifle. The test will be made
in the presence OF the German and
Austrian Consuls by their request.
Last week the first test was made
by two soldiers from Fort Sheridan.
Col. Hall, the c-ommandant of the post.
Lieut.-Col Carpenter and a number OF
ether officers were present. 1t was the
first time that the army's new rifle had
been tried against any Of the so-called
bu|llet-proof cloths, and the officers
we're quite confident that the gun
would win. Lieut.. Saranecki attached
the cloth which measured tw~enty-four
by sixteen inches. to the wooden figure
of a mar which Is used by the soldiers
o. the fort as a target.
The first shot was at 800 yards dis
lance. and the bullet fell to the ground
twisted after tearing a hole half an
irch deep in the cloth. At $50 yards
the bullet penetrated the cloth a quar-
ter Of an inch and stuck. At 300 yards
the bullet went in deeper. and at $50
yards It went half way through
At 200 yards the bullet passed
through. it's head projecting a sixteenth
of an inch.
The army officers Were much i'm
pressed by the tests, but say that the
cloth cannot be made into uniforms on
account Of it's weight. The piece used
IN the tests weighed fourteen pounds
Besides, the shock Of impact would

the ball did nto break the skin The

Zegler's cloth may he utilized TO make
shields for Calling and other machine
guns.

PLEA FOR THE INDIAN

Imagine yourself in the midst of half
a dozen youths and maidens on the
verge of manhood and wcmanhood,
endowed with a high degree OF nat.
ulal intellect and physical ability. ana
seeing them totally destitute of edu-
c%Gtional advantages and a knowledge
of mechanical arts. That is what |
saw. Some may ask, "Why are they
not assigned to some distant Indian
SCHOOL, The answer, as | learned, is
that these untutored children are held
even more dear to the hearts of their
parents than many children of the
whites, and ii is deemed one Of their
greatest blessings to have their OFF
spring where they can at all times be
in communion with them. While they
are DESTROYS OF having their boys and
girls secure an education, they ear
nestly oppose having them so far from
their lonely firesides as to be unable
to occasionally see their faces.
During our conversation, White Bull
said, Il am a poor man. | am willing
to work and earn something; but there
is no work here for me. ! want to be
and act like the white man; | want my
children to learn to read and write,
and grow up like white children; but
we have no Doarding-school, There is
but n day-school on the entire res
ervation. What can We do? Our agent
can only give us what the Great Fa-
ther sends To him-that is but little.
Why can't our friends in the East
ask the Great Father to help us?
could tell you many things of how
badly we are treated, but they would
not help us. All | want for my people
is that we get what is due us. '-From
Drake, in Godey's Magazine.

DRAWINGS FOR A NICKEL.
Youthful and Flippant Artist Haunts
Chicago Saloons and Offices.

He slipped into the Office with a
small block of paper projecting from
his pocket and when the busy man
looked up he saw a small freckled boy
about 10 years of age standing at his
desk. The lads clothes looked as If
he had been climbing fences and run
ming over shed roofs for a few months
and he had a peculiar sharp look in
his eye unnatural for n of his years,
says the Chicago Chronicle.
Il beg your pardon sir" he began,
Would you object to my making a
sketch of you while you are at work?
1t would take but four minutes and
will guarantee you satisfaction. 1t
will not be necessary for you to quit
working, sir, just remain as you are,
please
The busy man frowned a little as if
he did not catch the drift of the boys
remarks. Then he saw the sketch
block and pencil and was a little
amused at the ready speech of the
amateur artist.
What do you want to sketch me
for?" he asked.
well, FOR five cents in the first
place" said the lad, "and, besides. you
have an interesting ~countenance,"
This little bunch of what is techni-
cally known as "the hot air. lattered
the busy man and he told the boy to
go ahead. In an instant the sketch
block was in his hand and with the
slow, wavy strokes of an amateur he
began making a likeness of the busy
man. There was talent in the hand
that guided the pencil, however, and
when the sketch was completed the
busy mar was delighted. 1t was a
fairly good likeness, remarkably so for
the work of a child.
Here, Tom" called the busy man
to his office partner, here is a boy
wonder"
Pardon me, | object to the appella-
ticn,' said the artist and the busy man
Learly fell off his chair. Then he be-
came interested in the glib tongued
boy and asked him where he learned to
draw.
II just picked it up" he said. edo
you think | had better lay it down
again?' The busy man frowned
again, but his curiosity got the better
of him and ne asked more questions.
He learned that the lads name is
John O'Connor and his parents live in
New Orleans. He is living here with
an aunt. For over a year he has been
drifting around office buildings and
saloons picking up a fair living by
making sketches getting from a nickel
to a quarter for them. But he is too
filppant for a young mar of his years.
He lacks reverence and respect and q
lot of things ~15-year-old boys are sup
posed to have and he made a bad i'm
preston. When the busy man asked
DO you make good money at thic
work? O'Connor replied: None of
1t is counterfeit"
That was o much and the busy
man turned to his desk and told the
young artist to run along and learn
some manners.

Poison I'm the Coffee,

Few people who habitually drink coffee,
several times a day, realize the amount Of
poison they are distributing through their
system. All coffee contains caffeine, and the
better the coffee the more OF that slow
poison. By experimenting with pure grains
a substitute for fine coffee has been pro-
duced. 1t is called Grain.O. There Is
nothing about it to hurt the most delicate
system. 1t strengthens the nerves and Is
pourishing TO old and young alike. The
smallest child can drink Grain o without
any bad effects. While II tastes like and
has the seal brown color of the finest Mocha
or Java coffee it contains.all pure nourishiDg
grains. 1t costs only one-quarter AS much
as coffee. Sold by all g~rocers, Is cents and
rs cents per package, Ask for Grain-O.

They believed they had been robbed
right along and blamed the black man
for 1t. The latter, they said. claimed
to be fighter, but would tackle only a
small man, and then have weapons
handy. Asked if any of them had ever
sailed in the ship before. they said. no,
that one voyage in her would be
enough. They felt certain that the rep
resentative of the British Government
would see their case as they put 1t.
They were out 127 days. All had ship
ped at Liverpool.
Down at the vessel. which is a COM
Portable looking craft and with lines
that would permit some basis to claims
OF speed, the reporter found watch
man, a cabin boy and the first mate
The latter was young man who talk
ed almost as willingly as the sailors
did at the station house and who ap-
peared to be man to be believed. He
said the cook was at the bottom Of the
trouble and had animus against the
steward and some of the officers. The
rows had occurred about as stated by
the members of the crew, but through
no fault of those in authority Neither
the captain nor steward knew that the
fare for supper was so slim. The cook
had exhausted allowances and had pre-
pared the scant supper for the express
purpose of precipitating mob episode.
The plan was to make a rumpus that
| would result in the release of the num-
erous company that preferred remain
| ing in Honolulu to continuing with the
| vessel. The crew contains. according
to the mate, couple of past grand sea
| lawyers who have given trouble
throughout the voyage. The Officer
contradicts or denies the tales of pool
| or insufficient supplies.
Judging by the attitude Of the men
and the officer who has spoken, the
entire affair will be ventilated before
court here.
