PcrOes in Black,

The Ninth Cavalry of colored troops
during the thirty years of its history
has made record for its fighting quail
i tiles which few other regiments can
| equal. 1t has fought all the way from
the Mexican border to the Canadian
; line; the graves of its members are
scattered throughout the West, and the
600 officers and men who compose it
have reached high standing of eff
cheney. With equal fortitude they have
borne the two eXtremities of climate
presented by the torrid region of the
Mexican trail and the last refuge of
Sitting Bull on the confines of Canada.
A peculiar feature OF the composition
of the Ninth Cavalry is the fact that it
IVES originally recruited of eX-slayes of
almost pure African blood. and today
nearly every trooper is as black as
ebony. This characteristic does not
seem to have followed the other negro
regiments in the service recruited at
about the same time, for they contain
many mulattOes. Another feature
" hI,h SiNtS iut .NIulu Is
that it was the first of the colored Or
ganiZatiOns to receive its baptism of
fire. 1t had been predicted that the
negro would not stand in battle like his
white brother. The behavior of the
Ninth dispelled this idea and gave the
colOred soldier the standing he de-
serves.
The work in the Sioux campaign of
1S9O-'91 marked the Ninth as fighting

two score men there, so it was hot

Spread of the English Tongue.

While there are 125 100000 people al
the present time whose everyday Ian
guage is English, there are only 3d.
100000 who speak Russian, 100000
who speak German, 55,0OO,O00 who
speak French, 45,O00,0O0 who speak
Spanish aud 35,0O0,0O0 who speak
Italian. This marvellous growth Of the
English tongue is directly due to the
rapid development of the United
States. aided, of course, by the Anglo
Saxon's natural colonizing spirit. In
this country there are less than S0,OO0.-
COO people, and greatly less than that
number in the whole of the United
Kingdom. This estimate indicates the
spread Of the language into all parts
of the world-St. Louis Republic.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. rrsrHAnI

la TALK WITH MRS. P1SRHAHI
A woman with the blues is very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
"the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is a source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense. and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition. caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
Il am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than L
have had for the past ten years. L
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you"

tunately for the conservation of the

Ames to that body against the state
board Of equalization, in which Mr..
Ames accused the state board Of decreas-

pretense OF increasing them. The letter
is full OF biting sarcasm, and warns the
county commissioners that if the advice
of Assessor Ames is followed generally,
az extra session of the legislature will
be inevitable in which case the city Of
Denver as the commercial center OF the
state will necessarily get the worst of
the deal. The state government must
