1T has been the expectation OF the
medical department that every wound

attention OF surgeon. No modern
army makes provision for such a large
number OF medical officers as this would
require. But attached to our army
there Is corps of non-comba tants
known as the hospital corps. which is
the organized and authorized Red Cross
of the army. At the outbreak of the
war we had 500 hospital corps men in
the service. At present there are more
than 5000. We have done our best TO
instruct them in giving first aid to the
wounded. and in a majority Of cases q
first aid dressing properly applied by
one OF these men is all that IL required.
All OF the surgeons who have come from
the front have tried Il with re-
markable results. attained from prompt
application OF dressing by our hospital

THEY PROVED HEROES.
Incidents of the Fight with the PiIIsger
Indians.

Walker. Mimi. Oct. THE battle OF
Leech lake has developed more than
one hero. General Bacon. Major Will
kinson, Lieutenant Ross. Surgeon Har-
ris. Hospital Steward Buckhart, Ser
geant Butler Frank Briggs and Colonel
Sheehan are all deserving OF medals OF
honor. the three former for the gal
liant manner in which they led the
troops; the fourth for his inattention 10
his wounds when bullets were flying
about his head and his apparent indif-
ference to them: the fifth for volunteer
ing TO carry messages across the firing
line from Lieutenant Ross TO General
Bacon and losing his life i'm an effort
10 retoin his men. and the sixth for
bravery displayed on several occasions
Briggs is barber of Walker and was
sworn In as a deputy sheriff because
he wanted to accompany the troops.
When the Indian sharpshooters were
firing upon every one who showed
above ground Briggs went to the beaci,
and carried supplies to the block house.
He also volunteered to go to the Flora
in canoe ana was allowed 10 do 50
by General Bacon, who remarked as ne
gave his consent:
You have lots Of nerve. young man.
and are taking your life in your hands"
Colonel Sheehans gallantry Is re-
markable, because the colonel was
there, not in a military capacity. but
as a deputy marshal. and his work had
been accomplished. He and Briggs
will be mentioned in General Bacon's
report and steward Buckhart will be
recommended for a medal OF honor.

Not long ago, when W. L. Powell
and A. j. Powell were riding through
Wallowa County to buy horses they no.
ticed on the range numerous herds OF
burros. They hunted up the owner,
hotel man at Elgin.
'What do you want for those bur-
ros?" asked one of the Powells.
The owner fixed no price, but would
sell.
"Tll give you $3.50 a head and
round them up myself or SO head,
you to deliver them at the corrals."
A contract was made on the latter
basis for 600 head. The owner found
the job of collecting those burros a
big one. They were wild and free and
objected to captivity. Since August
last from six to ten men have been
busy with lariats, and they have just
finished the work. When bunch Of
six on seven were captured their heads
We're tied together and they were re-
leased until wanted.
Nearly thousand head, many of
them young jacks, were at lastrounded
up and delivered. The rowells took
them all. They will be shipped to
Seattle, and the majority are destined
for Japan to be used there as pack ami.
mails. Some go to the Klondike, how.
ever. The younger ones will be re-.
leased by the Powels on the ranges
near Proser, Wash, to further in.
crease and multiply. A dozen years
OF so ago the pack train of an emigrant
outfit, consisting of burros, was turned
loose IN Wallowa valley. From these
ancestors sprang the 1000 head that
now comprises the novel shipment Of

The young business woman was in
a downtown restaurant for luncheon.
At the table with her sat little blind
girl, with her mother. Sitting beside
the child, she took pains to help her
in every way possible, putting every
thing that she might need within her
reach. The girl became conscious of
helpful hand near, and, turning to
her mother, said:
"Who is it, mammal"
"It is a lady who is sitting next to
you," answered the mother.
"Who is she?" asked the child
again.
81 am business woman, " came the
answer from the subject of her ques-
tions.
"And do you always come here to
luncheon, and do many business
women come here?" asked the child,
much interested. Then, as she re-
ceived reply, she turned to her
mother and said:
SIS the lady pretty, mammal"
"She has very pleasant face," an
swered the mother.
''Yes; I knew that from her voice"
said the child. Cant I give the lady
something? Is this pretty?"
Her hands had been wandering
over the table in search of something
thet might do for a gift for her new
friend, and she picked up an oyster
shell, in which a raw oyster had been
served.
'No; it is not pretty" answered the
mother, ''but think the lady would
take anything"
81 should like very much to give
you this" said the child, prettily,
turning to the business woman, and
holding out to her the oyster shell.
And the business woman took it grate-
fully, and keeps it among her treas
ures as a souvenir of very pleasant
and pathetic little incident. New
York Times.

The Wild Birds of Europe,

If it were not for the climates sake
birds of passage would do well never
to cross the Alps. In Germany, in
Switzerland, in northern Europe
generally, they are more OF less pro-
tected by the laws, but as soon as
they have reached the Latin races
their slaughter begins. Ticino awaits
their coming with net, snare and gun,
and the war of devastation spreads
from italian Switzerland to Italy.
From south Italy it begins again in
the spring, and in this promiscuous
massacre it is noticed that of all our
feathered favorites the lark, the
nightingale, the swallow and the thrush
suffer most. The Berlin Society for
the Protection of Wild Birds has
fought for many years against the
evil, and while other countries have
been legislating for the birds at home,
this body has sought to attack the
mischief in Italy, its very heart and
center.
Some years ago petition was ad-
dressed to Queen Margherita asking
for her pity and protection in behalf
of the bird emigrants, and to the queen
of Italy such prayer would not be
addressed in vain. But the italian
peasant cannot be reached by these
means. The same society in Berlin
proposes now to try religious pressure
and has petitioned the pope to the
same effect. His holiness is implored
to move the clergy throughout Italy to
speak in the cause of the birds, and to
urge them "by doctrine and by re-
proof to stop this wanton slaughter"
The poor italian is himself an exile in
all lands. He should feel some touch
of pity for his fellow wanderer, the
guest of many nations.-Pall Mall
Gazette.

To Market by Trolley.

An English trolley line plying be.
tween Bessbrook and Newry through
a rich farming district makes a sub
stantial addition to its receipts by
hauling farm wagons over its lines at
tached to the motor car in place of the
trailer which is sometimes seen. In
order to keep the wagons on the
track q second pair of rails is laid in
side the working tracks and slightly
higher. The towns at either end of
the line are both market towns, and
the line runs directly to the business
centres, where the wagons are drawn
aside and run into their places by a
half-dozen sturdy men, who are paid
a few pence each by the countryman
for this service. 1t is, therefore, pos
sible for a farmer to bring his produce
to market and dispose of = without
the aid Of his horses. It is not an un-
common sight, and always a rather
amusing one, to SEGA numbering farm
wagon, loaded with hay or produce,
flying along behind the motor car on
its way TO market. The farmers take
kindly to the scheme, as it is a So wing
of money as well as horse fesh.-Kan-
sas City Architect and Builder.
