Capt. Denny is showing considerable
activity at this writing in the matter Of
the enlistment Of recruits for his com
pany with the evident intention Of
increasing the membership TO the full
complement Of 80 men. While the
captain is somewhat reticent in relation
to the matter it is the prevailing opinion
that he has received orders to that
effect. In the event Of q war with
Spain. it is safe to presume that Custer
will be represented at the front by at
least fifty men, while perhaps a greater
number of jingoes will stay at home to
look after our local affairs and tell the
people just how tie war should be con-
Quoted, and how quick Spain would
have been knocked out If they had
been given charge Of the triling affair.

A Baby in Battle.

Among the Chinese present at one Of
the battles between the two AsiatiO
nations in the late Chinese and Japan
ese war, was one spectator of an unu-
sual kind. After the capture of a small
fort by the Japanese, and the retreat
Of such of their enemies as had not
been taken prisoners, healthy-lo looking
Chinese baby was found by the victors,
lying on the ground in their line Of
march. The captain of division pick
ed him up, and did his best to adj
minister consolation, and presently
called one of the prisoners, to whom
he offered his liberty on condition that
he should take the child to his parents.
The captive 1oyously assented, but the
baby raised noisy objection. He lift
ed his voice on high and cried so loud
ly, when the attempt was made to take
him from his Japanese friend, that the
latter saw no resource but to submit
So, holding the baby on his left arm,
while he grasped his sabre with the
right, Captain Higuchi marched on to
the capture Of the next fort, receiving,
meanwhile, bullet through his cap.
The baby looked on wonderingly while
the fort was taken in gallant style, and
seemed to be quite unmoyed by the din
and uproar of battle, so long as he
could rest upon his captains shoulder.
when the fight was over, the captain
gave the child to some of his troopers,
who bore the little creature to a Chin
csc house near by.

Here is description of a novel con.
test which is said to have taken DIacs
at a social function" in Hartford
Conn. The description is taken from
the Times: Twelve Walls were filled
with liquids of uniform red color
but Of different odors. The test was
for each guest to name the odors and
write the names on a card. The odors
chosen were familiar, such as witch
hazel, cologne, wintergreen, pennyroy-
al, rose, lemon, and the like, and IL
would be supposed that there would he
little or no difficulty in identifyine
them; but the task was not so easv

Some Of the mistakes We're amusing
The highest score, eleven out Of twelve
was made by one Of the gentlemen
and, as a rule, the scores Of the GEN

was wrongly guessed by all the ladies
and was identified as water by only tyc
of the gentlemen.

And SO she was; the brave little Emf.

had taken her brothers place. She
had gone to get Pena; to tell him that
the fight between Gomez and the Span
ish General Castellanos was on at Sar-

On the little heroine rode in the
darkness of the night. She had been
born and raised in the country, and she
knew the way to Santa Lucia, although
she had never before Travelled 1t in

her brothers life and for Cuba. Dark

girl. She refined up her painting steed.

feat, this Rifian exceeded the mall

Of Militia, on the Riflan coast. We

with cleaning faces of bronze. white
teeth, and attired in snow-white bur-
houses. They were mounted on small
animals, slight, but quick and wiry. OF
the thoroughbred Arab barb type We
were amused some time by their charg-
es and evolutions. They would throw
their swords and matchlocks in the air
catching them by the hits and stocks
infallibly. Finally it was announced
that something of unusual interest
would be accomplished. One of the
men produced a needle and a piece of
thread, possibly two or three feet in
length. They were both handed
around for inspection. I suppose the
needle was a cambria one, and the
thread so or so fine. When we had du-
ly inspected both, one of the men sig
nified he would thread the needle. He
galloped his horse down the sand about
400 yards or so. He finally wheeled his
horse and remained stationary, facing
us. The one who held the needle and
thread waved them in his hand and
rode toward the other. When he had
covered about two thirds of the dis
lance he halted and waved his hand to
the further one. Immediately the lat
ter spUrred his horse into gallop and
came toward us at full speed. As he
passed the other he took the needle
and thread from his companion, bent
over for a moment and pulled up when
he reached our party, holding the
threaded needle triumphantly over his
head"
