HOW EAGAN WON PROMOTION.

The Modoes Gave Him the Chance and
Mckinley Gave Him the Reward.
about twenty-five years ago." said
@ well known officer ''the Modoe In
dian war, in the lava beds of southern
Oregon and northern California, was in
progress. In it occurred some as Sc
we're fighting, under adverse circum-
stances, as ever came to the lot of the
United States army. Among the troops
engaged in that war was the Ninth
United States infantry. It is well
known that this regiment was never
permitted to take any part in the civil
war; but was kept during that whole
eventful period on the Pacific slope. 1t
was not the fault Of the officers of the
regiment, yet they felt very sensitive
on the subject.
Among the officers of that regiment
was a young lieutenant, whose name I
shall mention later. On the evening
preceding the heaviest fight that oc-
Cured during the campaign remarks
were made rejecting upon the courage
of what they designated as the Cali
fornia contingent meaning thereby the
Ninth Infantry These remarks came
to the ears of the young lieutenant,
who Immediately sought their author,
and in the presence Of a large number
of his fellow officers resented the as
PENSIONS in the most vigorous terms,
branding the man as modern Ananias
and also announcing that Immediately
after the fight which was slated for the
following day h ewould personally
make good all that he then said
Furthermore, as the matter of per-
sonal courage had been put in question,
he announced that in the fight of the
following morning he should wear his
full uniform, and he challenged the au-
thor of the disparaging remarks to do
the same. That night the commanding
general sent for his lieutenant and in

formed him that in the charge that
was to be made on the following morn
ing he was going to give him the next
position to the post of honor, that is,
the left of the line. Any soldier will
know that when troops are in line of
battle the left Is equally exposed with
the right. 1t happened, therefore, that
on the morning of the battle the Cali
fornia lieutenant, true to his word, APP
peared in command of the left of the
line in full uniform, and as it was well
known that such an exposure was TO
court almost certain death,-not anoth-
err officer did so appear, notwithstand-
ing the lieutenant's emphatic challenge.
In the gray dawn of the following hour
the troops lined up in front of these
terrible obstacles known as the lava
beds. The command Forward" was
given, and over they went, first one
and then another, in the face of with
ering fire from the savages behind piles
of rocks, some five and some fully forty
feet in height, the California lieutenant.
in full uniform, at the head of his COM
pany ON the left of the line. The right
was crushed and fell back, but the left
encouraged by it's commanders splen-
did example, held it's ground.
LAS may be imagined, the officer in
full uniform received the attention of
every Modoc warrior who caught sight
of him, and they finally brought him
down with rifle ball through his
thigh, cutting the tendons to his leg.
Calling two soldiers, instead of permit
ting them to carry him off, as they
wished to do, he placed hand on the

blood his whole strength gave away
and the soldiers laid hi mdown till the
fight was all over. His gallant conduct
on this occasion won for him the indy

AN EVENING AT HOME.

Questions Which Man Has to Hear
While He Reads the News
John" said Mrs Bigler, II can't see
why we should allow any foreign
country to own any of those islands
there on the map. Why, just look!
They're good deal nearer the United
States than they are to Europe"
Il know Mr.. Bigler answard, but
there are some difficulties in the way
of having things just as we want them.
We couldn't take those islands without
getting into trouble with other cour-
tries besides SPAIN
to belong to Europe?"
Eyes, most of them do"
"Why?"
"Oh, don't know, unless it is be-
cause they think belonging to Europe
is more profitable to them than belong
ing to the United States.''
(which one of these places is Dewey
on now"
Dewey? Good gracious, these are
the West Indian and Windard Islands.
Dewey's away on the other side of the
world"
whats he doing over there? Why
isn't he here, helping to free Cuba?"
HE is over there fighting SPAIN"
81 never knew that Spain was away
around on the other side of the world
/ thought it was China that was over
there"
Spain isn't on the other side of the
world. She has possessions over there
or did have"
well, then why are her army and
all her boats over here? Why don't
they go overnight Dewey"
You must remember, my dear, that
they can't do little trick of that kind
in a few days. It would take weeks
for Spain to send fleet to the Philip
pines"
''WelI, why on earth do we want the
PHILIPPINES, any way?"
''One reason is that having possession
of them will help us to bring a settle
ment with Spain"
But if it takes so long to get from
there to Spain why should the SPAIN
ards be afraid even II we did have
them?"
"oh, say, get geography and study
little.''

THUNDER WAVES OF SOUND.

While lightning may be seen and it's
illumination of clouds and mist may be
recognized when it is even two hundred
miles distant, thunder is rarely audible
more than ten miles. The thunder
from very distant storms, therefore,
seldom reaches the ear. The reason of
this great uncertainty in the audibility
of thunder is not difficult to under
stand. 1t depends not merely on the
initial intensity of the crash, but quite
as much on the surroundings of the
observer, even as in the quiet country
one will observe feeble sounds thai
escape the ear in a noisy city. Per-
haps the most curious and important
condition of audibility is that the thun-
der wave of sound shall not be re-
fractcd o. rejected by the LAYERS of
warm and cold air between the oh
server and the lightning or by the lay
ers of wind, swift above and slow below
so as entirely to pass over and around
the observer. Sound, in it's wave-like
progress passes obliquely through lay
ers of air of different densities, is sub
iect to refraction. This refraction may
| occur at any time and place. Thus, OBJ
servers at the topmast of ship fire.
quently hear fog whistles that are in
audible at sea level: those on hilltops
hear thunder that cannot be heard in
the valley; those in front of an obstacle
hear sounds inaudible to those behind
| it. The rolling of thunder, like that of
a distant cannonade, may be largely
due to special reflection and refractions
of sound. Again, the greater velocity
of the air at considerable altitude
above the ground distorts the sound
wave and shortens the limit of audibili-
ty to the leeward while increasing it
to the Observation-Disclosures and Iron.

You're right. After trying to ex-

which time his fair young wife tied
knots in her handkerchief and thought
how changed he was. Presently a new
idea took possession of her, and she
