individual Firing While Watching
the Movements of the
Leader.

The Indian method Of fighting, as
Ihown at Leech lake. is II unique type
of warfare, and as such is a subject of
great interest to foreign military men.
The United States regular soldier is
an expert at it, and has learned to
fight the Indian as the lndian fights
him. Military attaches sent by for
eign governments TO observe the Span
ish-American war asked many ques-
tions from American officers on this
topic. and considered the veteran In
dian fighter, represented by such men
as Gems. ChaiTee ami Kent, as one of
the best types of soldiers.
Individual fighting is the Indian
style. 1t was SO in the days before the
revolution, and century has not
changed il. The Indian has adopted
many innovations taught him by the
white man. He usually wears store
clothes" in these days and lives in
house. even If it is only a log hut. But
he fights as his forefathers did. seeking
to gain an advantage over his foe by
ambush or some other form of stategy.
The Indian VINO can hide behind rock
or tree and shoot down an unsuspect-
ing foe who is passing is considered
much more of a hero than one who will
fight in the open and die bravely fac
ing the enemy.
Indians on the war path are COM
manded by chiefs. VINO are generally
elected at a council fire. These chiefs
are usually the heads of large families
and command squads of from 20 to 100
men, composed of their brothers, sons,
cousins and other relatives. One of
the chiefs is known rs the great
chief and is usually given this rank
for proves in war or hunting. He oc-
cupies something like the same rela-
ton 10 the forces IGder him that a
general or colonel has in the United
States army. bu, his authority is much
more restricted. and is exercised only
in rare cases.
The usual method IN fight such as
that at Leech lake is for the chief to
advance and his men TO follow him.
keeping near enough to see his move
ments and acting in conformity with
them. When the foe approaches with
III hiiIlS oilc VI
the chiefs usually setting the example.
When his men see him fire they fire
too, and so the rattle of the guns be-
comes general.
Ii is seldom that an order is given to
an Indian in battle. He follows his
chief, picking out individual foes and
fighting individually. His commissary
and quartermaster' arrangements
are attended to by squaws.
The United States regular when
fighting Indians adopts their tactics
only when the Indians are near. The
skirmish formation is then used and
the men dodge behind trees or rocks,
but they listen for and quickly obey
the orders of their officers. If hard
pressed they usually assemble and
throw up hasty intrenchmcnts, where
they can pour collective fire into any
foe that may attack them.-Baltimor
Sun.

THERE seems to be good reason, the

remediable, for while there are 3. s27, =
767 bachelors in the United States
there are only 3,224, 494 unmarried
ladies. Many of the men may have re-
mained single because of the rejection

One of the hottest regions OF the
earth is along the Persian Gull, where
little or no rain falls. At Bahrln the
arid shore has no iresn water, yet
comparatively numerous population!

Gus springs which burst forth from the
bottom Of the sea. The fresh water Is
cot bv diving. The diver. sitting In
his boat, winds great goat-skln bag
around his left arm, the hand grasplng
its mouth then he takes in his right
hand heavy stone, to which is attach
ed a strong line. and thus equipped ne
plunges in and quickly reaches the bot
tom. Instantly opening the bag over
the strong jet of fresh water, be springs
!, up the ascending current, at the same
time closing the bag and is helped
aboard. The stone is hauled up, an1
. the diver taking breath plunges II
again. The source of these submarine
springs is thought to be in the greer
hills OF Osman, 500 miles distant.
