A Doll Averted a War.
n the Chicago Chronicle.

From the chicago CnroHlcie
Little things often have a potent infiu-
ence upon the destinies of individuals and
nations A story is told of Mr.. Bourke
now temporarily sojourning here, but who
was in the Arizona campaign against the
Apaches with Gen. Crook. On one occa-
sion the general was trying to put band
of Apaches back on the reserve, but could
not catch them without killing them, and
that he did not want to do. One day his
men captured little Indian girl and took
her to the fort. She was quiet all day. say
ing not a word, but her black beads Of eyes
watched everything. When night came
however, she broke down, and sobbed just
as any white child would have done. They
tried In vain to comfort her, and then Mr.
Bourke had an idea. From the adjutants
wife he borrowed pretty doll that belong
ed to her little daughter, and when the
young Apache was made to understand that
It was hers to keep her sobs ceased and
she fell asleep. When morning came the
doll was still clasped in her arms. She
played with 1t all day, and apparently all
thought of ever getting back to her tribe
had left her.
Several days passed. and as no overtures
about the return of the papoose had been
made by the tribe they sent her, with the
doll still in her possession, back to her
people Mr. Bourke had no idea of the ef-
feet his benevolent act would have upon
the Indians. When the child reached them
with the pretty doll in its chubby hands IL
made a great sensation among them, and
later on its mother came back to the post
with it. She was kindly received and hos
pitably treated, and through her the tribe
was soon afterward persuaded to move
back to the reserve.

A Joke on Coon Hunters.
MILKING REINDEER.
The Cows Are First LassOed and Then
Tied to Trees.
From the Century.

From the Century
Placing ourselves on both sides of the en-
trance to the Enclosure, at some distance,
we stopped to wait for the herd. Looking
in the direction from which the barking
was heard, we observed on the summit of
the nearest mountain ridge, against the
horizon, something like a moving thicket,
carried, as it were, by swift current down
the mountain side Soon we distinguished
the graceful forms of hundreds of reindeer
as they. with elastic motions, leaping and
bounding, came tearing down toward the
camp, the dogs stretching like ropes along
the ground on each side of the herd to keep
it together. We crouched behind stones and
bushes so as not to brighten the half-wild
animals.
and shouting the herd was finally brought
into the inclosure, only. few of the widest
animals escaping over the fell, past some
of the little children. Rushing into the in
closure in an unbroken stream of more than
thousand animals, the herd did not cease
running-the reindeer is always the
move, except at its regular resting times
but continued in a circle against the sun.
The reindeer in these circular motions al
ways runs against the sun. If it runs with
it 1t is sign of disease of the brain In
the midst of the reindeer, leaping. bounding
and butting in friendly way, while giving
out their peculiar grunting sound, the pic
turesque figures of our Lapponian friends
We're seen, surrounded by thicket of
horns.
Our hostess, having hung her baby to a
birch In the middle of the Enclosure, stood
like number of other women, mostly girls
with a wooden SCOOP in her hand ready tn
milk the first of the reindeer caught, while
at the outskirts of the Enclosure stood a
number of children with large pals to re-
ceive the milk from slis scoops, the smaller
children either rum dig about playing out
side the camp or tfyipg salt and angelica
to some of the tamest animals. The most
important actors on the scene, however,
We're the men moving about slowly in the
midst of the herd, holdingfthe lasso behind
their back In the right hand and looking
sharply at the running animals. As quick
as lightning a lasso swhizEed through the
air, the frightened Animals recoiling and
then increasing theirBpeed When the las
SO hit the mark the COW was hauled in and
tied to a birch while the milking was done
So they kept on for nearlyo two hours. The
quantity of milk yielded by each animal is
very small, at the most about teacunfuI
but it is of very high riutritive quality
The milking, which is by no means regular
is done, If possible, once a. day. In winter
time there Is, of course, no milking.

Records of the Clubs.

The game scheduled for yesterday after
noon at National Park between the Wash
ington and Chicago clubs was postponed on
account of rain, the heavy downpour
sweeping over the park about 4:15 pm. As
there are no more games scheduled for this
season between the two clubs. yesterdays
game will probably be charged to the
profit and loss" account of both clubs,
unless an open date can be found while the
Senator's are west on their next trip.
The St Louis club opens a series with

Rough Riders the Model.

1 understand that the formation of gen
tleman'' regiment Is again mooted in GER
tain quarters. The regiment, as its name
denotes, would consist of a higher class of
men than is usually found in the rank and
file of line regiment. In fact it would be
more after the style of Col Roosevelt's
Rough Riders and the Aston Battery. Theo-
reticaIy the formation of such corps
seems eminently desirable, but when re-
garded from a practical point of view IT
may be safely predicted that the proposal
will never take definite shape. AT present
gentlemen who are DESTROYS of military
career, and are unable for one reason or
another to obtain a commission. generally
prefer to enlist in regiment where there
are men of their own special standing in
the ranks, as they therefore stand much
more chance of calling attention to their
own merits than would otherwise be the
case AS regards the war office, l may say
that there is absolutely no intention of
forming a "gentleman's regiment. and the
proposal may be looked upon as one of the
results of a patriotic enthusiasm born of
10 recent volunteer review.

High-TOned Visitors.

The following paragraph by London re-
porter rather takes my fancy: The pres
cnce of so many heightened Americans in
London this season has led to the discovery
that young America parts its hair down the
middle The fact was made known when
three superior youths. who had just taken
their seats in the strangers gallery in the
house of commons, were pointed out to me
as Americans. Asking how it was, how
ever that they We're Americans, l was told
because they parted their hair down the
middle. Since then l have carefully OBJ
served every male American, and find it to
be true. They all have their hair parted
down the middle. This is highly interest
ing as denoting that the Brtisher has
found other means to assure him of our
nationality than the traditional accent"

will have unique experience in dealing
with the marriage of Mr.. C. K. Tynto to
Miss Ellis daughter of Sir A. Ellis, who
was so long associated with the household
of the Prince of Wales. In the first place,
| believe the shields of the two families
carry between them the quarterings of
every one who was a peer in Henry Wits
house of lords, except Lords Vaux and
Windsor. Beyond this there is a remark
able coincidence. Miss Ellis carries on the
fourth quarter of her arms Howard. with
the augmentation for Flodden which was
granted to her ancestor, Lord Surrey, for
his victory over James " of Scotland in
1913. Mr. Tynto carries in his fourth quar-
ter Wharton, with the augmentation granted
to Thomas. first Lord Wharton, for his vic
tory at Solway Moss over James V of Scot
land in 1913 The marriage will take place
in London on August 10. and will in some
ways eclipse that of Lady Peggy Primrose,
Lord Rosebery's daughter, whereat all Eng
land appeared.
American Interest in Art and Books.
The marked appreciation in the money
value OF pictures by many distinguished
fists of the past. of noteworthy objects
dart and of books which appeal to the bib
liophile or the enthusiastic admirer of some
modern author, is due in no small part to
the numerous commissions received now
adays from America. Their volume has in
creased intellectually during the past decade.

borough Gem and many of the recent pic
ture dispersals. Within the last week or
two a couple of noteworthy libraries and
an important work from Turner's brush
have been acquired by Americans. The
Toovey copy of the first folio of Shakes
peare has for many years been coveted by
more than one Of our home collectors. This
valuable volume, together with some good
specimens from early English presses, and
many fine decorative French, Italian ard
English bindings. have been purchased by
an American connosseur, it is said for
more than 100000. Those who know any
thing of the distinctive attractiveness of
the flood of illustrated childrens books is
sued al the end of the last and the begin

booklets containing plates or blocks of
such beauty could be sold for siXpence, or
even in some cases for penny. Many of
them put to shame many of the illustrated
works for which double and treble the
amount is asked today. Moreover. though
the invariable rule was to leave the text
unsigned. there is little doubt that several
celebrated writer's worked in this direction.

Geographical Congress.


I have received some information regard
ing the program of the international geo
graphical congress which is to be held. in
Berlin during the last days of September
and the early days of October 1t may
safely be said that the Berlin Geographical
Society has spared no pains to make the
congress a success. l understand that the
German geographers are anxious to make
practical results the keynote of the meet
ing, and they have decided not to squander
any of their energies on an exhibition such
as that which was marked feature of the
London congress four years ago.. The social
side of congress life will not, of course, be
neglected among such hospitable people
as the Germans, and for foreign visitors a
series of some half a dozen or more eX-
cursions have been arranged, covering the
days Immediately preceding the assem-
bling of the congress. After the congress
the city of Hamburg is to entertain the
members, the senate having voted funds
for that purpose; and the German geogra-
piers are very certain that foreign guests
will find much not only to interest, but
also to astonish them in the first CONNER
cial emporium of Germany. At the con-
gress itself every branch of geographical
science will come in for treatment DR.
Nansen and DIR. Nom of Christiania will
give synopsis of the scientific results of
the Fran expedition, and an American
geographer, Mr.. Arthur c. Jackson presi-
dent of the Alaska Geographical Society,
is to unfold new plan for North Polar
Expedition"
