a QUEER LETTER.
4, Wa. written on Thin slab. Of whit.

stone.
The queerest letter ever saw In my
hfe." said Washington newspaper man
10 a New Orleans Times-Democrat re-
porter. was shown me at the home OF
an army officer who Is now on duty in
the war department. II Is written on
a couple Of thin slabs Of 4ylsh-white
stone, each about six Incl long and
two Inches broad. and itN story Is
rather romantic When Gen. Crook
was chasing the Apache chief. Geroni-
mo, across southern Arizona in 1855.
the officer to whom refer commanded
a company OF infantry, and while the
main command pushed west. along the
ella river. he took a couple Of troop
ers and struck out Southwark on a re-
connoiter. They had been gone about
two weeks. suffering all manner OF
hardships and living exactly like the
Indians themselves. when the captain
decided to send one OF his men back
with verbal report He was anxious
TO embrace the opportunity to also dis
patch a letter 20 his sweetheart. who
was then a young belle In Washington
society, but there was not a scrap Of
paper OF any kind In the party. nor as
much rs morsel OF pencil. Knowing
she was eagerly waiting news from tho
front he racked his brain and finally
noticed some smooth fragments OF
limestone that had clipped of from a
nearby ledge. That solved the prob
lem. He selected two fiat pieces drew
a pistol cartridge from his belt and
scrawled his letter with the point OF
the bullet Laying the stones face TO
face. so that the writing would no, be
rubbed on by abrasion, he tied them
firmly together with strips OF hand
kerchief and inscribed the address on
the outside. Nothing remained but TO
afiiK the stamps, which the trooper
promised TO DO as soon as he struck
camp. He put the parcel in his blouse,
got through In safety and mailed II at
Marieopa. II required eighteen cents
postage. and the date mark Is quite
legible. need hardly say that the lady
prizes this strange epistle above all
the souvenirs which now oil her beau
tlful Washington home"
