Special Dispatch to the Globe-Dcmocrat.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 9.-Lieu-
tenant. Colonel Roosevelt said today
that his regiment Of mounted rihemen
was now full. He has received stacks
of applications during the last few
days.
ave shall be ready the coming
week." he said. "The order to march
will find us in the saddle. Meanwhile
there is enough to do for us. Our
men can ride and shoot, and a good
many of them have shown in the field
that they can fight. They must be
taught to fight together in a body.
Our method will be for one man TO
hold four horses while three dismount
and fight. Thus only three-fourths OF
the regiment will be engaged at any
one time. But the great mobility im-
parted to il by the work Of the other
fourth will more than make up for the
loss of fighting strength.
Our men will carry carbines and
reyolvers-the krag-Jorgenson car
bine, a splendid weapon-and for use
when they have shot away their am
munition, the machete, much easier
weapon to manage than the ordinary
cavalry sword this last so that they
shall not be defenseless in any event.
1t is not the intention that they shall
be swordsmen. They could not be
made that in six months, probably.
The gun and the pistol are their weap-
ons. They know how to handle them.
The one thing we have to teach them
is not shoot until their horses touch
the enemy. That done, the fight is
won. They won't need the sword.
The mounted rinemen are the historic
arm for the United States service, born
of the peculiar conditions of fighting
here"
The 7SO men that will make up the
regiment are now Fastening toward
the rendezvous at San Antonio, Tex,
from the west and east. The last of
the recruits from Washington, 80 odd
in number, went from Mr.. Roosevelt's
office in the navy department to the
cars today. They were as stalwart a
body as one would wish to see, and
singularly promiscuous. Some wore
the broad -brimmed hat and had the
bronzed cheek of the plains, and others
bore the unmistakable stamp of the
student and the club man, but these
latter were athletes and trained sports
men. All mingled with easy good
fellowship. Old friends recognized
each other among the broad. .brimmed
and the society men. They had met
in the hunting camp before.
All told there are some 10 college
bred men among the enlisted rough
riders, graduates of Harvard, Yale,
Princeton and other institutions, upon

SOME SPECIMENS OF NEGRO LOGIC.


It was Just before the war. Squire
Johnson had been to Nashville, and
on his return brought "Old Nose" the
favorite slave on the plantation, new
hat. Nose was very proud of 1t. The
next Sunday the Squire was driving
home from church with his family, and
the carriage overlook Nose and his
"old miss" trudging along afoot. IT
was raining slightly and the Squire
noticed that Nose was bareheaded and
was carefully protecting his new hat
with his coat.
"Why don't you wear your new hat,
Nose ?" inquired the Squire. "Youll
get that old head of yours Wet"
"Dat's so, Mass Johnson" replied
Nose. "but dat ole heads yours and
de hats NINE"
The Squire used to miss chicken
now and then, and at length the mys-
terious disappearances were laid at
the door of one Ezekiel, who was &C.
cused of the theft by his master.
Zeke was a darky of exceptional
wit. He had picked up little arith-
metic and prided himself on his acute
ness. When charged with the chick
en- taking he asked warily:
"Now, Marse Johnson, if can show
YOU dat only TUX dem fowls for yoh
good will you let me 60 JUS dis time"'
The Squire was curious to hear bis
defense and told him he would do So.
"Well, you say you paid 5000 for
me, and weighs JUS bout $50 pounds.
Dat makes Sc pound. Now, it l turn
yoh chicken meat dat amt wuff mohn
10 cents pound into niger meat dat's
wuff Sc, you JUS dat much better OH.
Don't you see."
Of course the Squire saw, and he
used often to repeat the story and
laugh at the darkey's ingenuity.
The war came on and Zeke was one
day detailed off the plantation to help
throw up some earthworks. The ene-
nv observed the defensive prepara-
tions and began to she'll the place.
The first missiles went wide of the
mark, but after few rounds the range
was found more accurately and the
shells began to burst uncomfortably
close to Ezekiel.
He stood his ground as long as he
could, but at last dropped his shovel
and ran for his life. The officer in
charge of the operations met him a
little distance down the road, and,
halting him, ordered him to explain
his flight. Zeke was trembling with
fright, but found breath to say:
"Dey's shooting over dare, and Mars
Johnson he's a poh man. He paid
5000 for me in Memphis and he can't
afford to have me killed." And with
that he took to the woods.

"On the charge of robbing the U.

"Come, come, my boy, that's alto
gether too bad" interposed Captain
Ford. "The gentleman is from New
York, and III vouch for his character. "

prisoner"
"Well, sir, what do you propose to
do with me?"

sition of my person, and the sheriff re-
tired. | was rather amused TO find
that the person whom had suspected
of completely with the crime, should
turn out to be the sheriff, entertaining
the same views towards me.
Captain Ford swore it was outrage
Gus to arrest peaceable traveller in
this manner, and vowed that he would
stand by me with his purse and his in
fuence to the end.
thanked him heartily for his sym
pathy, but the consciousness of my in
nocence was my all sufficient safe
guard, and 1 went to sleep and slept
as comfortably as though there had
been no officers in the world.
About two in the morning the boat
arrived at the Pittsburg landing; but
when the hustle had subsidized, 1 went
to sleep again, and did not wake till
sunrise. Captain Ford, however, pro-
posed to land, but the sheriff positive
ly refused to let him do so, whereat he
swore like a pirate, and vowed re-
venge; but I went to sleep, leaving
him in his ire to settle the matter as
he could.
When I awoke and unlocked the
door, I found the sheriff had procured
the assistance Of officers from Pitts
burg to search my effects. I pointed
to my valise, and unlocked it. OF
course there was nothing in it to Grim
mate me, and only few dollars Of the
U. bank were found upon me.
While the search was in progress,
Captain Ford attempted to leave the
room, but the officers detained him.
"Open your valise, if you please"
said the city official.
"Dare you insult me?" And the
captain launched out into a TRADE of
abuse against the party.
"No use, captain" I inteposed.
"Let them examine your valise."
"I will see them-I won't do it ~
But the officers did it for him, and
to my astonishment, nearly the whole
sum stolen from the bank was found
in it! I was confused and confounded
at the idea of being caught in such
company. But my innocence was so
apparent to the sheriff, who had his
eye upon me from the day l first ar
rived at u, that he did not Getain me
as a prisoner. Though he had not
before suspected the captain, he had
seen him introduce himself to me.
was obliged to return to Z. as
witness, but my testimony amounted
to nothing, and I was permitted to
depart after the captain had been fully
com mitted. He was afterwards found
guilty, and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary. I have been careful since that
about making acquaintances on my
travels.
