wire fences and hedges. which were cut
through and jammed down, the First
and Tenth cNalry keeping a good line
across the clearing and making straight
for the Red House.
Carrolls brigade, moving to the
right of Woods, found the hill beyond
the hedges and fences steep and rocky.
The men clambered up and at the top
reached level ground-in fact, the fields
and yards of a country house. Their
position was swept by fire from Spanish
intrenchments in front No Spaniards
were seen by Carroll's men, but they
had been there and could be seen by the
men of Colonel Woods brigade, rapidly
retreating to the right. The Tenth cav
airy unfurled its colors, planted its
staffs in the ground at the Red House.
which Immediately drew heavy fire
from the Spanish in San Juan fort. The
time is set down by the Tenth cavalry
as about noon. In Carroll's brigade this
first hill was called "Kettle Hill" be-
cause there were some huge iron cal
drons set up at the crest. Near these
kettles the flag Of the Third cavalry
was planted.
Soon after reaching the hill, Colonel
Carroll, commanding the brigade, was
shot, Lieutenants Thayer and Meyer of
the Third wounded and Hamilton of
the Ninth killed. In the ascent OF the
hill Lieutenants Smith and Ship OF the
Tenth were killed and Lieutenant Rob
erts wounded. Judging from the num-
Der of cavalry officers hit on this first
hill, it would seem that those who esti-
mated the casualties suffered at the
creek, was from 10 to 80 per cent OF the
total may be mistaken. The Spanish
fire encountered here was from San
Juan blockhouse, later taken by the in
fantry, from the ridge still farther on
in the American front and an intrenched
house located there. When the cavalry
was in possession OF this San Juan or
Kettle Hill, General Sumner gave or
ders to the First cavalry not to leave
the hill. Said he, 1--WE must make a
stand here in case our folks are driven
out of our extreme front" There were
then ON the hill three troops of the
Third cavalry and few rough riders,
and Summers orders included them in
the force that was to stay there and
hold IL. GEORGE L. KHMRR.

A SELFISH SHAH.
Tho High Prices Of Persian Lamb Capes
Accounted For,

Tho High Prices Of Persian Lamb Capes
Accounted For.
The shah of Persia may be only in
the ESQ class in matters of diplomacy
and he does not dare exactly to slap
Queen Victoria or Kaiser Wilhelm on
the back when the potentates chance to
meet, but, SO far as matters in Persia
are concerned, when the shah makes a
law it is generally enforced to the letter.
A case in point may be cited in the
matter of Persian lambskin. Persian
lambskins are and have long been an
article of staple demand in the com.
mercial world. They have commanded
such good prices that the supply was
hardly equal to the demand. Conse-
quently, when the shah one day ordered
spring lamb with mint sauce, the cook
was obliged to confess that the dish was
beyond the command of the Persian
treasury. OF course tie cook was
promptly bebeaded. but the shah could
not find another cook who would agree
to furnish spring lamb whenever his
majesty desired to indulge in that deli
caey.
This naturally irritated the shah.
After consulting with three or four of
his most trusted advisers, who could. see
no way out Of the difficulty and who
consequently disappeared from their
homes and society in mysterious man
ner, the shah finally decided that the
commerce of Persia was threatened by
the extinction of Persian sheep and Per-
sian lambs. Consequently he made a
decree that any person found with lamb
skins in his possession for purposes OF
trade or commerce would be fined heav-
lily. Since then the export trade in Per-
sian lambskins has stopped with a
blunt and nauseating jar.-Boston Ad-

There is condition possible to some
few souls that if not really the highest
attribute Of humanity would be chosen
by most men of noble mold were selec-

quillity, the absolute inability to fear,
that some men, not many, possess, or
rather, one should say. by which some
men are possessed. An instance Of such
courage on low plane is that Of Po-
temkin kicking aside the bloody head
Of his predecessor as he stepped to the
block, an act almost indelicate enough
to be humorous, yet withal significant
of an iron nerve.
