ley crowd, half negro, half Indian and
a glance over their muster roll would
reveal such euDhonious names as Ben
July, Pompey Perriman, Jim Warrior
and Friday Bowlegs. Black as solid
hunks of ebony and as fond of whisky
as a baby is Of mil, they were, never
tlTeless, the finest trailers and scouts on
earth.
Southwestern Texas, at that time,
was a pretty wild stretch of country.
Civilization stopped at San Antoine, and
the duty of these negro Indians was to
keep that border free from smugglers,
marauding parties and hostile Indians.
Once every four months they came to
Clark for their money. and then, you
will pardon the expression, gentlemen,

The men had had a good many sharp
brushes with the redskins, and when
they were warmed up with liquor they
liked to tell of these affairs. The COM
mander at Fort Clark was a little
skeptical about these Indian stories,
and one day he said to me in a joking
way: II don't believe there is an In
dian in west Texas, and I'll give $50
TO any man in your command who will
bring in a dead redskin."
There was one Mexican in the COM
mand, Julian Longonio by name, and
he was one of the best trailers the
southwest ever saw. Longonio heard
the colonel's remark and his beadlike
eyes snapped as he turned away. For
myself l thought no more of it until it

FUN in WAR.
How Soldiers Find Food Fer Mirth
Under Fire.

Under Fire.
New York Sun: A retired major of
foreign service was talking the other
night of experiences under fire. He de-
clared that it was not at all serious
work. He said:
IT have had fun while soldering, and
that, too, under fire of the skirmish
line. I remember once in France, dur
ing the Franco-German war, when We
were with Rourbaki at Montbeliord, l
was surprised to hear some of my men
laughing when we were lying on dirty,
damp ground and with just the small
est incline in our front to protect us
from the enemy's fire. We were hun
cry and cold, and were obliged to hug
the dirty ground in order to get cover.
1t was no place for hilarious amuse-
ment, and yet the men kept laughing,
and they laughed so loudly that l am
sure the enemy heard them.
Il could not stand up with any safe
ty and the only way l could reach the
men was to crawl, which l did, and
after crawling about 20 yards l found
myself in a good-sized depression in
the ground, where there was fair shell
ter, and there l found out the cause
of all the amusement We had been on
our outpost eight hours, and had used
UP a good deal of ammunition, and 1
had ordered the men to keep what
they had left for an emergency that
/ expected any minute. This gave the
men leisure to grumble or make fun,
just as they thought best, and in this
case it was all fun.
They W ere playing nine-pins with
the enemy. And they did it in this
way: They made nine piles of mud in
the form and about the size or sugar
loaves, and they placed these at dis
lance of about yard from each other
Then they made bets as to which pin
would be hit first, or which would be
hit the most times. found that each
pin was named after some unpopular
member of the battalion, and when
one of the pins was shattered, the men
would laugh and say: There goes
Long Legs" or "Sawbones is over"
or "Fly-by- Night is disemboweled."
and so on. 1 stopped the game.
Il remember an amusing incident
during the Riel erebellion in the Cana
dian northwest in 1885. The Indians
and half-breeds had dug pits at Ba-
toche, and we were pounding at them
for three days. with little or no effect.
During the time our men were on the
skirmish line all day, and at night they
retired to the corral we had built imme
diately in our rear. But the half-breeds
and Indians were evidently having fun
at the expense of our youngsters.
"Of course, even our militiamen
were prepared for the old ruse eSout
putting a cap on the end of a stick,
but the Indians made dummies. and
they would suddenly expose a part of
those dummies, the head or shoulde~
or the side, or, in one case, the fe' >
and then our fellows would begin an in
dependent firing rapid enough to re-
sist a charge of cavalry. But the best
part of the joke was that great many
of the youngest soldiers who fired at
the dummy were sure to say, L hit
him. hit him. while there is no
doubt that even the stoical Indians in
their pits were laughing. and 1, too,
enjoyed the joke, for 1 had an excel

The empress of Russia has just COM
pieted her 26tn year and for three years
and half she has worn the very heavy
crown of Russia with wonderful grace
and dignity. This, too, in spite of the
fact that she long and earnestly resist
ed the imperial honors that were fairly
thrust upon her.
At the time of her marriage she was
not the least in love with the young
Tsar; her youth, passed in the almost
humble home of her father, the Duke of
Hesse, inclined her to look with the
greatest distaste on the tedious cere-
monial and icy formality of the Russian
court, while it went sorely against the
grain for her to change her Christian

all melted away when the time came;
he could never get beyond explaining
his projects" and intimating that he
should ask the question in. due time.
The catastrophe came at last in the
announcement of the fair Rebecca's en-
gagement to another. and in the JEFF
fersonian letter giving the horrible
news to his friend the name of Will
liamsburg was changed to Devils
burg" In this letter he philosophicaliy
diScoursed on the necessity of fortitude
in this strain: THE only method OF
doing this is to assume a perfect res
ignation to the divine Will, TO consider
that whatever does happen must hap
pen, and that by our uneaSineSS we
cannot prevent blow before it does
fall, but we may add TO its force after
it has fallen"
HIS MUSIC WINS A WIFE.
Jefferson was exceedingly fond of
music. While boy he learned TO play
the violin, and in his early manhood
he took his fiddle with him wherever
he went. There is a tradition that it
helped him to win his wife. the rich
and beautiful widow SHELTON. The
story goes that two of his rivals met
one evening at the door of her resi-
dence. They were shown into a room
to which the music of a harpsichord
and a violin was waited to them, to-
gether with the sounds of two voices
united in a tender love song. The vio-
lin and one voice belonged to Jeffer-
son. Both suitors took the hint con-
veyed by the situation and left, never
TO return on the same mission.
A TURN FOR INVENTION.
Jefferson found time while he was
minister to France to take an interest
in the improvement Of the harpsichord
and to invent a simple contrivance for
the making of time in music. He had,
in fact, strong turn toward invention.
The familiar revolving chair is of his
contrivance. While president he hit
upon an idea for a dry dock, which he
wanted congress to build in Washing
ton, and exhibited a model of it in the
White House.
Jefferson had very positive ideas on
the education proper for young women.
Referring to his own daughters. he
said: Il thought it essential to give
them a solid education which might
enable them. when they become moth

the tragical misery of her beautiful sis

HIS KINDLY NATURE.
The general expression of the coun-
tenance was vivacious and exceeding
ly pleasing. He had nature full of
sunshine and a constant desire to make
all around him happy. Affection for
family, friends and especially children,
with whom, when a grandfather. he
was wont to romp on the floor, was
one of his strongest characteristics.
He was keenly sensitive to suffering,
even in dumb animals, but he did not
carry sentiment so far as to prevent
him from soundly Furnishing an unruly
horse, so as to master him. Those de-
pendent on him loved him; particu-
larly his slaves, to whom he was kind
and generous. Few men ever had
larger number of friends; no man
could be more devoted to them. He
possessed high, proud spirit, but not
a particle of vanity. He had unbound
ed faith in humanity, and was quick to
forgive and forget personal injury and
injustice. He was seldom angry, i'll
humored or irritable. In every reia-
ton of life he was frank, candid and
conscientiously just. Though far from
effeminate, he had many feminine
ways, tastes and feelings, which en-
deared him to those who enjoyed his
friendship.

Eyesight is one of the most precious

the eye is one of the most sensitive or

unconscious of the fact. We have one
