craftsmanship and hardihood.
Wouldn't Sit On Cushions.
The entire party is stopping at the Eb-
bitt house. They are the first of the
"Riders'' to visit Washington, and many
of them still bear bandages over wounds
healed, but not wholly. The officers

l men-some of them-wear the yellowish
brown skaki, and others the regulation
blue. They are hardy fellows, tough az
