to their journeys end, as they were
tired and hot.
The HERALD reporter at once look
ed up Major G. Towles, who was in
charge of the train, and asked him
concerning his command. The major
said: II have with me here troop F,
and all these boys come from Fort
Worth. We have had q very pleasant
wasn't as bad as one would think. We
had plenty of room for every one in
our train and the bows have had q good
time. We have one box car, five stock
cars for our horses. one baggage car,
four day coaches, and one sleeper for
the officers with the troop.
''The officers who are with troop +
are Capt. Geo. T. West, First Lient-
enant Percy Mills and Second Lieuten-
ant ]. W. Reid. Also accompanying
the troop are myself and family. as this

best equipped and the most men. The
nearest to ours is the 9Th Illinois. We
brought out here with US hundred
and four men and all the other troops
in the regiment are recruited as full as
this.
''We are all very much pleased with
being assigned to Fort Bliss for the
squadron headquarters. OF course
while the troops under me in the squad
ron hated to leave the others in San
Antonio, still they were glad to come
here as long as they had to leave.''
After having received their coffee

1t Was on This Occasion That He
Learned To Decide For Himself.
Here is a story that the Cleveland
Leader proffers about General Shafter.
1t centers about his salient trait of be-
ing pugnacious, just as all current and
well invented anecdotes of Fighting
Bob" Evans revolve around some in
candescent bit of profanity. But the
story runs thus, as the general is made
TO tell it.
"Onceswhen l was boy at SCHOOL,
wasn't more than 10 or II years old at
the time-our teacher called up the
class in mental arithmetic and began
putting questions, beginning with the
pupil at the head of the row and going
down toward the foot, until some one
could give the correct answer. / stood
somewhere near the middle, and next
below me was a boy who was three
years older and considerably ahead of
me in the various studies that we had.
"'How much are 13 and and 81
the teacher asked.
"While one after another Of the boys
and girls ahead of me guessed and
failed to get it right figured out what
l thought the answer ought to be. The
question had almost got to me when I
heard the big boy just below me whis-
pering, apparently TO himself, but loud
enough for me to hear, '29, 29, 29.'
Finally the pupil above me failed
to answer correctly, and then it was my
turn.
We'll, Willie said the teacher,
let's see if you know the answer. Come,
now, be prompt.
81 cooked my head up proudly on one
side, cast triumphant look at those
who had fallen down on the problem
and said, so that everybody in the
schoolroom could hear me:
Twenty -ninep
Next. How many are Is and 9
and 8?
'Aw' said the big boy below me,
with look Of supreme contempt at the
rest of US, '3Op
"That was what l had figured it to
be myself, and when the teacher said
correct l wanted to fight.
81 didn't assault him, but made up
my mind right there and then to depend
on my own Judgment in the future, and
ever since then when l have had any
thing to do and had figured out what
considered the best way to do it have
gone ahead, membering, when people
criticised or tried to throw me off the
track, how that big boy made fool Of

An Abrupt Termination to a Restau-
rant Conversation.
Hon. Joseph Cham berlain, when on
his first visit to this country several
years ago. was taking a chop and q
glass of ale in a Washington restaurant
one afternoon, and man around town
who is somewhat noted for his forward
ness, not to say his freshness, was din
ing in the same room, and he recognized
the English parliamentarian. He walked
over to Cham berlain's table, and, quite
unlimited, took the opposite seat. With
in the space of five minutes he was tell
ing Chamberlain what third rate out
fit he considered England to be. The
mans talk, needless to say, was in very
rank taste. Chamberlain adjusted his
monocle firmly and looked at the OBJ
trusive chap amusedly.
"Now, we'll take England in the
matter of great men," said Chamber
lain's unlimited table mate. where
does England cut in in the matter of
great men nowadays, anyhow? England
has got Gladstone, of course, but he
was born about 10 years ago, and he's
a back number. I'll just ask you, Mr..
Chamberlain, fair question, What
really great man, what noted character,
has England produced, say, within the
past 90 years? Answer me that, sir -

lap and taking his hat and cane from
