During the civil war the magnitude Of
the military operations often prevented the
delivery OF mail for long periods, and mail
day" became as a consequence one of the
great events in the soldiers career. Let
ters from home meant a celebration in
which all participated. BY the unwritten
law Of the camp all painful or pathetic
letters were read in silence and afterwards
pocketed. while the contents of interesting,
witty, poetic or nonsensical missives were,
after perusal by the recipient. retailed to his
comrades. Such letters became popular
favorites and were read and re-read as a
standing recreation.
In the present war the postoflce de-
partment deserves great credit for the ef-
flciency of It's mail service at the camps.

are established, postmasters appointed and
a regular business transacted, the same as
at the permanent establishments in the
great cities. The postmasters at Tampa,

Fernandino, Jacksonville, Guantanamo
and Santiago have received very high praise
from officers and pr!vates alike. The mails
are received and delivered with commenda-
Bile promptitude, and very few complaints
have been heard of respecting mail matter
gone astray. In most OF the camps mail Is
delivered once day, and generally a; an
hour which does not interfere with the rou-
tine duties OF the troops.
For the first ten minutes after the deliv-
cry every man is absorbed in reading his
own letters, and those who are lovelorn
generally take twice that time. Then comes
the interchange of letters and the reading
aloud of good stories ad jokes which have
been sent from home. BY degrees the camp
comes to know which of lis members have
the brightest and most amusing corre-
spondents and look to them for regular
amusement A soldier boy who has two
good correspondents at home with taste

the favori;es of the place. His comrades

letters and are Just as much disappointed

With his horse al gallop and hanging on
with one knee and one hand he can hit a
small target at a hundred feet two out Of
three times with his revolver.
One day some members of his company
were firing at a watermelon In a field at a
hundred yards, and manifesting pleasure
when they hit it, which they did about
every other time. Cherokee Bill'' Joined
the group, and, after looking contemptu-
ously at the shooting for some time, said:
This is what you want to do,' and, firing
his rifle he cut the stem almost completely
off.
Bill has taught his horse all the ordinary
tricks that cavalrymen employ. and many
others which remind one of the wonderful
performances of the western Sioux. He
makes the animal lie down and become a
pillow for him while he pretends to sleep,
and then tells him to go on guard while he
remains sleeping. The horse walks off
fifty or one hundred yards, and plays the
part of sentry to perfection. Bill breaks a

In the Second troop of Rough Riders,

Bill" who, as his name indicates, halls from
the Indian Territory, and belongs to the
once powerful tribe of redskin warriors.
Were 1t not for his high check bones ana
bronze complexion he would pass muster
for a tall and muscular New Englander.
But the Indian origin of Cherokee Bill is
unmistakabe.
Like all Indians, Bill rides his horse as
though he and the animal were one. and
his skill with rifle and revolver is constant
source of wonder and delight to his COM
rades. His feats in craftsmanship are
the talk of his regiment. Any of his COM
rades are willing to hold silver dollar for
Bill to shoot from their fingers. or hold
pipes in their mouths for him to shatter

The Cuban Hacheto

Much has been said OF the terrible ma
chete. deadly weapon indeed in the hands
OF desperate man. and when used against
defenseless person. says a current maga-
zine.
The machete was never intended for q
weapon Of warfare; 1t Is an instrument of
husbandry. carried by the Cuban peasant
in times of peace. and is his one familiar
daily companion. 1t cuts his firewooc.
aids him in building his hut hews his path
through the manigua and performs many
ether offices.
The machete Is a straight. heavy blade,
about two feet long, with wooden handle,
having no guard; consequently 1t is utterly
unsuited as weapon to be used I'M con-
flict with an armed man.
The Cuban. Of course. by reason Of his
long familiarity with the instrument. is
an adept In its use. and its effect upon q
group Of unarmed workmen is truly ter.
rible. 1t is In the foray against the de-
fenseless and unarmedl that the mos, seri-
cur work Of the machete has been done in
the island Of Cuba.

uniforms not having been furnished, made
little contrast with the earth, grass and
bushes around, and person at a hundred
yards would never have dreamed that a
body of resolute men was stealing silently
along.
To the spectators 1t occurred that had
Cherokee Bill been member OF the
troop that was cut up so badly the story
of the fight in which Hamilton Fish lost
his life would have been told differently
Instead of marching carelessly, with much
laughter and conversation, right into a
death trap. they would have gone forward
with Indian cunning and carefulness. to
stumble on the ambushed Spaniarde Ans
stalk the stalker. What could not areg.-
ment of Cherokee Bills, with their unerring
rifle and silent marching through the bush,
accomplish in campaign such as that in
Cuba. This question the soldiers who saw
Bill playing the schoolmaster with his COM
rades asked each other again and again.
