The greatest town building rec

Mountain View, Washita County.
Monday, May 8, the town site was a
prairie. The same day it was survey

it sold and settled. The town in one
day became city Of nearly 500 inhab-

Of an organized town. Some Of the
lots sold as high as 5000 within 30
minutes from the time the surveyor

Would Abolish Chairs.

An eminent English physician, Sir
James Crichton Browne, announces
that men and women would derive
great benefit from sitting on the floor
instead of chairs. Women would ben
eft even more than men by the prac-
tice. The position Of sitting on the
floor or the ground is more natural
than sitting in a chair, he says. It
was once general with tie entire hu-
man race. It is both healthy and nat
ural. The exercise of getting up from
and down to the floor is beneficial.
Through the general adoption Of the
sitting position among the civilized
races many muscles have become stiff
or obsolete. Persons who sit on the
floor have strong back and thigh mus
cles. Turks, tailors and shoemakers
are examples of this fact. If you sit
on the floor you can change your at.
titude as often as you please aud can
enjoy an endless variety of pose, and
however often you alter it there is
never any chance Of you falling off. If
you sit on the floor you can achieve
al kinds Of comfortable positions,
which it is impossible to obtain even
with the easiest Of easy chairs The
influx of visitors need never cause
anxiety to the well constituted mind
on the subject Of chairs. All he has
to provide is quantity Of cushions
cushions Of every size and shape. Let
the guests select any they please, and
it will be their own fault if they are
not comfortable and happy.-Phiza-

The report Of this affair, which I
regard as one of the most brilliant
during the war in Virginia, is given to
show what could be and was effected
by cavalry.
One other point should be entioned
that regarding the number Of prison
ers taken by the cavalry in the last
campaign. The returns of these are
not full, but the report of the provost
marshal, and those Of commanding
officers account for 1900. In the
movement from Columbia to North
Carolina, when Whecler's command
served with me, three or four thou
sand prisoners were captured, SO that
in the last campaign, beginning on
May 3. 64, more than twice as many
prisoners were taken than there were
men in our whole cavalry corps.
During that fearful, dying struggle
Of our heroic army, Gen. Lee issued
many congratulatory orders to the
cavalry, and after the war, in a letter
to myself, he paid compliment to
the cavalry corps. which should COM
pensate every living soldier of that
arm Of the service for al! the sacrifices
made by him. In this letter after
giving what. he thought were the
causes of the discontinue Of our
troops at Petersburg, he said: eff
you had been there With all Of our
cavalry, the result at Five Forks would
have been different
So. old comrades Of the cavalry, let
us be content that we tried to do our
duty, and tina. our immortal chief
paid to us the highest honor that was
in his power in speaking thus of his

The outfit had planned a scout of

Reno checked his horse and looked

raced back through the storm of rain

miral Dewey to the cablegram
from the mayor of San Francisco.
If the hero of Manila bay comes
home across the Pacific aud lands
at San Francisco, he will come
through Denver, and in that event
he will stop here long enou III to be
cheered and feted, even if the peo-
pile have TO break down the car to
get him out.
When the answer is received at
San Francisco, Mayor johnson
will be advised Mt once, and then
wheels will be set in motion to-
ward one of the greatest receptions
the Queen City has ever given a
man of note. The feeling in this
respect is general, aud everyone is
ready and willing to lend a hand.

may are the rule when the posi-
