that in Philadelphia fully per cent of the
adult fair sex are similarly adorned, and
probably the proportion would be still
larger but that many women lake the trou-
BILE to eradicate the unwelcomed growth

Is this increase in the number Of women

a sign that the human race is improving?
Very few men, at all events, will be dis
posed to consider that a mustache. adds to
the charms of the opposite sex. English
men, Indeed. only generation ago, had
such a deteStation of muStaches and boards
that the practice Of shaving all the nair

whiskers was all but universal. From one
extreme our clean-shaven fathers plunged
into the other, and boards and mustaches
rapidly became the fashion. The fashion
has of late years been modified. Boards
are less common, but the mustache is cul-
tivated In England as widely as on the
continent.
But why should the fair sex be visited by

ton of it, is the one about which SO many
inquiries are made in the journals of the
day. We have had this gun under trial
since 1894. firing it with rapidity and ac-
curacy through different ranges. The
provers began with one sighting shot, then
delivered ten shots without miss. The
deviations from the middle of the target
were inconsiderable. This was accom-
plished in minutes and 37ia seconds for
q one-mile range. For a three-mile range
three trials were allowed for the sighting
then ten shots quickly followed at the tar
get and all hit. The caliber of this cannon
is 2.244 inches. The estimated time Is
twenty rounds per minute, or sXty-five
rounds in three minutes. The Germans
called the field pieces to which 1 refer,

them, 1.-The model of '73 and '7S,' the cali

Many are the eyes that are turned daily

Georgetown, fpcased as it were. in "A
chlseied vault, and placed there in a most
mysterious manner. With a silent vigil it
looks down upon the busy populace a
sentinel of noiseless guardianship Yet
how few of the many who look upon the
1air picture know of the legend connected
Herewith. and the sorrowful fate of by
gone times that is interviewer by Indian
history with it. 1t was related to a pioneer
OF Georgetown some thirty odd years ago
ny an old indian with whom he camped
IN Middle Park. The Indians story. as
near as the frontiersman, vino still IL, ss
here, could remember it, is as follows:
There was gathered in the valley where
georgetown now stands, in the early part
OF the century, a great meeting of the
numerous tribes of Indians of the plains
and mountains that had been at war as far
back as the oldest chiefs could remember
a general desire for peace had been shown
by the various tribes, and the council was
for that purpose
The plains Indians had elected a powerful
chief of the Cheyennes, named Cor-nu-co-
va Wmle the mountain tribes had for a
ieaoer Tu-Se-now, noted far and wide for
ms excellent qualities in settling difficult
ties. Tu-se-now brought a beautiful daugh-
Ter with him, whose name was Tah-ki She
was the pride of all the mountain tribes
ana was known far and wide for her won
derful beauty. For six years the parley
lasted and broke up in row. A battle
was fought and won by Cor-nu-co-ya dur
ing which Tu-se-now was killed and the
beautiful maiden captured The dead
plains Indians We're borne to the plateau
at the head Of Leavenworth canon and
buried A number of years ago a pros
pector driving short tunnel in from the
banks or the creek encountered the remains
OF some OF the warriors and numerous ar
row points, which goes to verify the ira
dition
After the battle the maiden, refusing to
become slave to her captor was SEN
fenced to be burned at the stake This
sentence was duly carried out. They not
only burned her until life was extinct. but
until every vestige of her body was con-
sumed; and as the last small cloud of as
cendins smoke left the spot of suffering
there was a terrible CONFUSION of nature
The mountains trembled for a moment,
and the whole eastern face of what is
now Republican mountain was hurled into
the valley, burying every plains warrior
beneath the mountainous rock nestled in
the heart of the town and now known as
Chimney Rock or Bunker Hill. The cap
i've mountain prisoners who witnessed the
cataelysm from a distant point cast their
eyes to the mountain that had hurled de-
struction upon their enemies, and in the
face of the broken cliff saw the beautiful
maiden looking down upon Them and for
many years after they paid annual visits
to this beautiful valley to worship at the
shrine of Tah-ki, the beautiful Indian
maiden.

up like a thin line of black against the
smoky blue of the sky. From the sidewalk
below he seemed a toy man climbing

took his brush and began to decorate the
