SERGEANT O'KEEFE'S PIPE.
1t Was Shot Out of Ills Mouth at San
tiago Much to the Amusement
of His Comrades.

"Well sir" said Corporal Grady,
zone of the most amusing things that
happened before Santiago was the loss
of Sergt. O'Keefe's pipe. You see, in
Our forced march to the front most of
us threw away all the loose luggage we
had, and with our kits went pipes and
tobacco. O'Keefe. however. had his
in his pocket, and after we got in posi-
tion and were waiting orders. the SER
geant pulled out his pipe and tobacco
and soon was enjoying fine smoke.
Then the rest of us began to lock for
our pipes and tobacco, but not one
could be found. Oh, i tell you, our
mouths watered, and we watched
O'Keefe with longing eyes. think the
spalpeen enjoyed our misery, for he
kept putting great volumes Of smoke,
making rings and clouds that scented
the air Every one of us begged for
crack at his pipe, but he gave us the
laugh. We were lying in the grass to
keep out Of the way of Span ulets
as they whiZzed overhead. L .'ter an
hours wat some of US becaI careless
and stoo1 N. among the rur '.er beng
O'Keefe. who strutted around vi. h his
pipe going Ike an engine. 10 save our
lives we couldn't keep our ewes from
that pipe. till all Of a sutlGe' tisap-
pcared and O'Keefe ducked ilen. we
realized the pipe had been struck by
Spanish bullet. and such a roar of
laughter as came from the boys never
was heard before. Well. sir. we just
felt like ; h. king hands with the Span
lard who fed that shot.

pipe so short I'd have thelaugh on ye,'

ROYAL ALIASES.
Names Under which Kings ana
Queens Travel When
..EncoEDito."

Strange as it may seem, even kings
and queens sometimes get tired OF their
titles and try to escape observation by
using what IN the case OF NOR oIuinary
persons would be- called an i.4ias vi
course, it is difficult if not iI4 possible,
for free and independent CT tizen who
lives perpetually in hail Of tie scream
ing and defiant eagle, to imagine how
anyone could become tired CT being
"ryle" parsonage. But so it is, and
this article is written for the iniornla-
tion of anyone who may meet the royal
persons when they are travelling in
cognito. Queen Victoria, as every body
knows or should know, traveis under
the name of countess of Balmural;
Queen Analie of Portugal uses the title
of marquise of Nillacosa. EX-Queen
Isabella Of Spain was the countess of
Toledo when she travelled, and under
the name of countess of Lingen you
may frd Empress Friedrich.
If you should meet gentleman who
calls himself the count of Ravenstein,
call him your majesty" for he is that
dear, wicked old boy, king of Belgium.
The king of Portugal travels as Count
Barcellos. The prince of Wales calls
himself Lord Chester and the monarch
of Bulgaria hides behind the title Of
Count Murany. The crown prince Of
Sweden is known among strangers as
the count of Karlsberg, and Prince Vic
tor Napoleon used the title of Count
Moncalieri.

Play. of Spanish Children.

At Fuenterrabia the place was en- fete
for four days in honor. of the patron
saint. The mornings were divided by
the natives between long services in
the cathedral and letting off rockets
in the streets; the afternoons were en-
tireIy devoted to bullfights, four bulls
being generously provided each day.
Somehow we did not go. In the mar
ket place were group OF tiny chill
dren playing the only game they knew.
That was a mimic bullfght. Every
stage was faithfully reproduced. Only
a few small boys and girls were not
taking part in the game. They had
managed to capture live sparrow, and
were enjoying the more fascinating
pleasure of twisting off its legs and
wings. I'VE should think the patron
saint must have felt both pleased and
fiattered by the spectacle.-Chambers'

WON'T TRAVEL BY TRAIN.
This Cattle Dealer Started Out with
Buggy, and to a Buggy
He Sticks.

Elijah ". Hofses, aged 10, of Werners-
Vile, Pa, is cattle dealer who has
travelled over large part OF the west
ern states and has never ridden on a
railroad train. He thinks nothing Of
getting as far west as the cattle ranges
of Kansas with his horse and buggy,
buying up stock On the way out ana
back.
Il don't know that I have any ything
against railroads" said he, that would
induce me not TO travel by train. |
ship all my stock by train. l guess
the reason | do not ride on cars my
self is that | started out by buggy, and,
as L am used to it, L keep at it, have
my usual route to cover, sometimes
extending 1000 miles. l travel a GER
tain distance every day. There are
certain number Of farms or stock deal
ers to see between towns. In fact, a
man can have a time table by buggy
the same as railroad trains have L
may not be so regular, though. A thou
sand-mile trip can be made without
varying three days for the whole route.
1t all depends on how business goes.
"When a man travels on the road
by buggy for 40 years, he gets 10 be
pretty well known, and if he has cared
for his credit, his honesty and his good
character, he has no trouble buying
stock cheap and right. and if he pays
spot cash there is a small profit for
him after he has paid his freight and
ether expenses east and sells out for
safe cash. When 1 get tired of buggy
riding | get out and walk. That has
kept me in the good health l now en-
joy. There is no exercise better than
W; ing. When Idrove cattle east instead
of shipping by carload lots, | walked
much more than in the past few
years. The old-time droving is not
profitable now. Competition is too
shrap. Dressed beef is shipped east
too cheap. The only way to get any
profit in live cattle is to buy spot cash
by visiting the farmers and stock deal
ers in person, and you cannot get to
their farms nearly so cheaply asb by trav-
cling by buggy. You can buy railroad
tickets with stop-off privileges, but
then you have your expenses in hiring
teams to get into the country where the
farmers live. Travelling by buggy is
also cheapest. carry very little cash
money, as always pay by check. There
is no danger on the highways, but it
is always best to travel by day and rest
at night. In the hot weather 1 make
starts at four IN. and get over good
deal of ground by nine o'clock. A few
hours in the evening finish up the day 6
work in cattle buying.
Il had one horse l used every week
day for ten years. l never travel or
do business on the Sabbath day. Horse
and man must rest on the seventh day,
or the first day of the week, whichever
way you want to take it, Thirty miles
driving every day., stopping, buying,
feeding and shipping, is smart work
enough. OF course ] enjoy the life
Any man would if he once got into
it. It's the best school in the world
] think, and about the only way to see
the country. Some of my friends call
me foolish for not riding on railroad
trains, but that's all right. Inever was
married, and having no family was al
ways free to go and cOme."2N. Y. Sun.

Then / went down to San Antonio
myself, where l found the men from
New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma al
ready gathered, while those from IN
dian territory came in soon after my
arrival.
These were the men whomade up the
bulk of the regiment and give 1T its
peculiar character. They came from
sthe four territories which yet remain
within the boundaries of the United
States; that is, from the lands that have
been most recently won over to white
civilization, and in which the condi-
tions of life are nearest those that OBJ
tanned on the frontier when there still
was a frontier. They were a splendid
set Of men, these southwesterners-tall
and sinewy, with resolute, weather.
beaten faces, and eyes that looked a
man straight inthe face without finch
ing. They. included in their ranks men
of every occupation; but the three
types were those Of the cowboy, the
hunter and the mining prospector-the
man who wandered hither and thither,
killing game for a living, and spend,
ing his life in the quest for metal
wealth., - =.
In all the world there could be no
better material for soldiers than that
afforded by these grim hunters OF the
mountains, these wild rough riders OF
the. plains. They were accustomed TO
handling wild and savage horses; they
were accustomed to following the
chase with the. rife, both for sport and
as 4 means of livelihood. Varied
though their occupations had been, al
most all had, at one time or another,
herded cattle and hunted big game.
They were hardened TO life in the open'
and TO shifting for themselves under
adverse circumstances. 4 They were
used, fo- all their lawless freedom, 10
the rough discipline of the roundup
and the mining company. Some OF
them came from the small fronuer
towns; but most were from the wilder
ness, having left their lonely hunters
cabins and shifting cow-camps to seek
new and more stirring adventures be-
yond the sea.-Col. Theodore Roose'

When Stanley Faced Death in Africa.

Writing Of his most thrilling expert
ences, Henry NJ. StanTey,in the Eadies
Home Journal, tells of the. narrow es-
cape of himself and expedition during
one of his early exploration trips in
Africa. The party was attacked by the
natives, and Mr.. Stanley asserts that
"had those ferociously stupid natives
been under the sway of one man. our
caravan would never more have been
heard of, but unity of action could not
be expected from so many savages led
by scores of village elders. They were
all equally animated by lust of murder
and greed, but they were not all equally
brave"

81 Died IN THE Mine.
Perished In Disaster at Car.
bonado, Wash.
SIX PERSONS WERE INJURED.

CARBoNADo, Wash, Dec. 11.-Thirty-
two was the number of dead from the
mine disaster here. Two men were
rescued at o'clock in the morning,
after being entombed in the mine all
night. They are Peter Merp. a French
man. and Michael Knish, Pole. After
Knish had recovered from the effects of
the suffocatlng black damp. he said:
81 was working on the fourth crosc-
cut when the explosion came. After
that 1 went to sleep and somebody
came and woke me up and took me out
of there"
He had lain in the cool depth over 1S
hours and had not the least conception
of this length of time. Merp, the
Frenchman, had been blndly cropping
around in the darkness for the most
part of the night, on his :hands and
knees, seeking for some avenue of es-
cape.
The injured, in addition to Knish,
NUMBER five. They are Andrew Kich-
inko, Michael J. Kichinko, Hungarians;
Abraham Kalunki, Finn and James
Conway, all of whom are severely
burned, and Caldido Parolini, an Ital.
ian, who has several ribs fractured by
falling timbers.
Governor Rogers will conduct
searching examination as to the cause
of the explosion. He telegraphed State
Mine Inspector Owens, now at Spokane.
to attend the inquest today and exam
inc witnesses himself. The question of
insufficient ventilation of the mine in
accordance with the state law will be
thoroughly gone into. 1t was found
impossible to secure an impartial cor
oner's Jury in the mining districts and
Coroner Hoskent to Tacoma to select
mis- jurors.
The theory of Superintendent Davies
was that small pocket of gas was
opened, became ignited and caused the
explosion of dust which resulted in all
the damage and loss of life.
The total number of men in the un-
fortunate shaft was rs, OF whom A are
