been the same. The Mamelukes who
carried the Turkish sovereignty across
northern Africa; the Skies, the strik-
ing cavalry arm in the extension of
British dominion over India; the Arabs
of the Soudan, whose fierce charges
pierced again and again the British
hollow square which had stood unbrok-
en- against the onslaughts of Ma
poleon's squadrons; and the Cossacks,
who have carried the Russian arms and
dominion eastward and southwark
through Asia. to the Japan sea and the
gates of India-all were born to the
back of horse, and their life and
action have been inseparably bound
with that of their fleet and docile war
steeds.
There is another class of cavalrymen
like the British mounted regiments in
India, the French in ALGERIA, and those
splendid riders, the United States cav
airy, seasoned by scouting service and
Indian campaigns on the plains-caval-
rymen OF the modern school seeks fight
either in she saddle or dismounted, and
through constant frontier warfare

and stocked them with cattle. The
herds of the different owners grazed
in common over the plain almost as
unrestrictedly as the buffalo had done.
Once year, in the spring, the owners
in combination rounded up" their cat
tie and branded their calves; then
each owner 'range-herded" his steers
until the time for the autumnal ship
ment of beef cattle to the east. After
this the cattle wandered again where
they would until the roundup the
next spring.
For the gathering, branding, herd
ing and shipment of the millions of
cattle that roamed the plains class
of men who could ride and endure and
take risks was required, and thus the
cowboy was developed. He is the sue
cessor of the Texas and Mexican
vaquero, multiplied and modified. He
can ride and throw the rope as we'll as
the old-time vaqueros, but has more of
the civilized and fewer of the homi-
cidal characteristics Of his more
noted predecessor. He was bred upon
the ranches or came as young man
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1898-09-10

was proof in itself that he was good
rider, hardy campaigner and trust
worthy man.
Let us consider what part the cav
airy service is supposed to play in the
military campaigns of to-day. when
the crossing of sabers and bayonets
seems to be thing of the past. 1t is
an era of missile warfare, educated
with long-range, rapid-fring artillery
and small arms, in which an army
might be annihilated before ii could
come to close quarters with the enemy.
In the last four great European wars
the cavalry on both sides, barring one
or two noteworthy occasions, played
an inconsiderable part in the brunt of
the heavy fighting. In the American
civil war the result of no important
battle turned upon cavalry charge.
The principal effectiveness of cavalry
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1898-09-10

in warfare between civilized powers
to-day is in scouting, foraging and es-
cort duty, in cutting off an enemy's
supply trains, in Selling through its
celebrity of movement some important
point of vantage and holding it until
force of infantry OF artillery can
come up to utilize it, and in harrassing
the retreat of an enemy; and, dis
mounted, ii may render effective serv-
ice in infantry firing. Beyond this is
still the contingency always that at
desperate stage in battle the cavalry
of an army may be called to hurl itself
against the enemy's front, although
almost certain TO be shattered and sac
rificed in the effort.
For all of these services 1t would be
difficult to find anywhere recruits be-
ter fitted in character and training
than the cowboy of the plains. In

hood it was an instinct with him rather
than an requirement. The Assyrians,
the Scythians, the SaraceSs, the Tartar
hordes of Timour and Genghiz Khan,
the Huns of Attila, all were bred to sit
in the saddle from infancy, and to con-
qner and govern and perform their
work in life from the back of horse.
The Visigoth riders who turned the
tide of battle and saved the worlds
civilization at Chalous, and the mailed
knights who fought the battles of Eu-
rope through the middle ages were
trained from boyhood to the saddle
and every equestrian exercise.

A DOCTORS DIRECTIONS.
They save a daughter
from blindness.

when father writes that yours is the
best medicine in the world" you can
Illow something for seeming extrava-
gance in the statement If you know that
the medicine so praised, cured loved
daughter of disease and restored to her
the eyesight nearly lost. The best med
icine in the world for you is the medicine
that cures you. There can't be anything
better. No medicine can do more than
cure. That is why John S. Goode, of
orrick, Mo-, writes in these strong terms:
"Dr. Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best med
icine in the world. My daughter had
relapse after the measles, due to taking
cold. She was nearly blind and was obliged
to remain in a dark room all the time.
The doctors could give her no relief; one
of them directed me to give her Ayers
Sarsaparilla. Two bottles cured her COM
pletely"
The thousands OF testimonials to the
value of DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla repeat
over and over again, in one form or another
the expression: 1.-THE doctors gave her
no relief; one OF them directed me to
give her DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla. Two

and ready at all times to fight for his
country's honor at the drop of the
hat"
Against these indisputable merits as
a cavalry recruit there has been raised
the objection that he is lawless in per-
sonal behavior, impatient of official
control andinsistent upon doing things
in his own way. Of the first it is to be
said that the foundation of good
fighting army lies in the individual
character and courage of the men who
composeit. War is hard and cruel and
remorseless thing, and there must be
iron in the blood Of the men who follow
a standard to victory. The irrepressi-

into the settlement for jollifcation,
and to SHOOT up the town." is mis-
directed energy which, in another

channel, could be turned to havoc
among his country's foes. AS to his
enduring military restrictions and dis
cipline, and obeying willingly the or
ders of his commanding officer, the
whole question turns upon what sort OF
man the officer is. Where martinez
with harsh exactness would drive q
regiment of cowboys into mutiny,
more or less open, tactful command
err, understanding them and possessing
their confidence, can keep them under
perfect control and in the line of battle
lead them wherever man dare to go.
Cowboys are greatly Influenced by per-
sonal character and natural leader
quickly finds his true place among
them.

TWO GyRANoS.
Rostand's Play Produced in New York by Mansfield and in
 PhiIadelphia by DaIY

At last America has seen Rostand's poetic drama, "Cyrano de Bergerac,' on the stage. Richard Mansfield gaveit a pro- duction at the Garrick Theater' production that, apart from the acting, will long be recalled as rec ord of managerial magnihcence. From the artistic standpoint, both play and player have scored great success. It is too early in the day to estimate the pop ular verdict. The first night audience was cold during the opening scenes, seem ing not to be in accord with the extremely romantic atmosphere which Rostand has given to his seventeenth century; but as the play progressed it's thrill was felt, the house warmed and the calls and recalls at the drop of the curtain were numerous.
 Lyman B. Clover went from Chicago graphed to the Times-E1erald some four thousand words of review. As the fol- low will show. he thinks Mansfield's im- personation a better one than CCcEelin,s.
 "The play is an inspiration, and the acting a revelation. Nothing could be more fascinating than Dramatist Ros- ordinary tour de force in the realm of poetic imagination, unless it Is the ab- solutely unique brilliancy and illuminat- ing power of MT. Mansf1eld's delineation of the central character
 "A more splendid union of such poetic fancy along entirely original lines as that
  ity so inspiring as the genius flash of ere alive art contributed by the great Amer ican actor, cannot reasonably be hoped for either at the present time or in the future.
 ''In an artistic sense MT Mansfield has improved upon the external appearance and qualifications presented by M. Co., quelin. The latter gentleman played the roll in a tone almost of comedy. MT. Mansfield makes Cyrano a cheyalier and guardsman of seriously romantic thought, but with weapons of wit and satire which are incidental to the personage and not his main characteristic. In har- mony with this conception he dresses the part with such dignity that even the exaggerated nose does not lend Sug- gestion of low comedy to the character.
 This Is in accordance with the keynote of poetic thought struck by Rostand and preserved by him to the end. So true is MT. Mansfield's conception in this partic- uIar that the nose, in place of continuing a comic suggestion after the first act, is either forgotten entirely or else is re- garded with a certain sense of digntt1ed pity.
 impress his interpretation of the charac- ter upon the public mind, and while those who wish to laugh might prefer the Coquelin manner, it is certain that stu dents of literature and the higher drama must thank him for the wiser course of solute respect without which the splendid characteristics of this epoch-making drama will be lost to sight"
 Coincident with. Mansfeld's production in New York, Ada Rehan and the Daly company produced MT. Daly's version Of 'Cyrano" in Philadelphia Miss Rehan played Roxane and Charles Richmond the title part. From the accounts re- ceived this production too is success.

 THE TRUTH ABOUT THE NEW ALElAMBRA- PERFORMANCE AND POLICY. BY ASHTON STEVENS.


acting is of the brickbat type there are
 several instances of amusing "busi- ness" in 1t. The little piece given by MT. Boniface and Miss Ferner is named
 A Game of Lobby" and its question
 able fun lies in an interchange of gar
 ments by the female character and a Senate page. This does not take place in view of the audience-that would be a physical impossibility, for the page, whose clothes fit him like his skin, Is very slim and Miss Ferner quite other wise. But there Is deal of brandished lingerie and small talk about the moral
 responsibilities of pins that Is not justi- fled by any particular humor in the lines. Miss Ferner shouts her part in the usual vaudevillese and MT. Boni- face tries even though he does not wholly succeed to impart character to the Kentucky Senator.
 Now these turns are not of a like
 quality, but their general intention is
 all right. They stand for the better
 class of vaudeville work, the 'legiti- mate" class that the vaudeville public first pitied, then endured and now em-
 braces. More of the same sort, better if possible and more novel, may change the tune in the Alhambra box office. Good San Francisco money has gone into this enterprise.

MT Jackson told me something besides the hard-luck story. His agent at the late scenes of slaughter has secured an opera company composed entirely of emaucipated Cubans. It would be & nice bit of reciprocity for these people to come and free the Alhambra from the "hoodoo.'
