The Negro Troopers War WhOOp.

In action the black soldiers are sure
ly mL st efficient. The Sioux Indians,
perhaps appreciate this fact better than
any other enemy the colored troopers
have fought against. The charge
made by half dozen troops of colored
cavalry during the Pine Ridge row is
talked about by the Ogalalla bucks yet.
The Indians on this occasion were
drawn up in solid fighting phalanx,
armed to the limit and spelling for
fight. Their attitude was practically
challenge TO the whole United States
army to come on and rout them. The
black soldiers, three hundred in num-
Der, were chosen to make the initial
charge upon the painted braves, and
when they got within two hundred
yards of the Indians the bucks began
10 make cracks in the atmosphere with
their shouts of dismay. They turned
tail and scampered like 80 many jack
rabbits before the black troopers had
so much as fired a blank from car
bine. 1t was the terrific whooping of
the black troopers that scared these
Sioux. From the very trumpet call to
charge, mile away from the drawn-up
body or braves, the colored troopers
began their shouts. Any man who has
ever heard even twenty black soldiers
whooping in chorus can readily imag-
inc the effect produced by the united
yelping of three hundred of them to-
gether.
A white officer who was in that
charge said afterward that be wouldn't
care to hear such yelping again. 1t
was too savage and hair-raising for
comfort. He feared at first that the
blacks had become insane in bunch
under the strain of the situation, and
that they might gallop amuck before
the Indian phalarx was reached and
begin to hack away at one another and
their officers. But they weren't ill.,
sane, and they were not running
amuck. When they saw the Indians
starting to take to their heels, the
black troopers drew up quickly, drop
ped their brides and roared with
laughter. They held their sides and
howled with delight. Some of them
were so tickled that they rolled off the ir
horses and wallowed in mirth on the
plain. To yell like fiends is just little
way black soldiers have when they go
into action, and the effect of this yell
ing upon savage enemies has always
been extraordinary.-New York Sun.

"Duripg Stonewall Jackson's first

how tender must have been their rela-

Wheat told his friend to march on to
Richmond, and he would see that he

Then, turning to us, Wheat explained
that the Federal officer was Colonel

served with him on General Ausans's
staff in the Garibaldian struggle for
Italian freedom.

asserted that an excessive use of salt
seriously overtaxes the kidney to re-
