A STRANGE WAR CRY.
Correspondence Of Leslie's Weekly.

Core spondencc OF Lese's Weekly
The enemy were invisible, and shooting. That
made il necessary for Uncle Sans troopers to
20 on until they got near enough to get good
and close view Of the little brown enemy. Ana
they did it with splendid spirit, rushing, shoot
ing cheering ard laughing Two companies of
Cooks battalion Of the Third were ordered TO
the left Of the railroad, while the other two
Companies under Captain Cook kept TO the
right Of the track All four Of the companies.
we're made up mainly OF rockies as recruits
are called but they made up in spirit what they
lacked in effective drill. AS the two companies
to the left Of the track. under Captain Day and
Lieutenant Hannay, got their first glimpse OF
the shooting enemy their officers shouted out to
steady their commands. 1t was unnecessary.
one tall rocky who was the first to catch sight
Of the heads OF the mass OF Filipinos ahead
yelled gleefully "Gangway!'
With one accord the two companies took up
the cry of "gangway" and on they rushed II
was their slogan. They kept il up until they
reached the thrOwn-up dirt of the trench and
saw the FilipinOs. now an irregular mass, nee
ing hundred yards ahead Of them. The Fill
p;nos gained another trench. but 'gangway
was the battle cry that drove them out OF H.
IL was the same with third line or trenches
Parentheticaly ii is understood. of course, that
our bows shot off something besides "gangway.
Dead and wounded Filipinos strewed the ground
and filled the trenches. our losses all along
the line that day were tring by comparison
Days and Hannay's companies, for instance
which suffered rather more than the average
losses had five men killed and eleven wounded
Rut that cry Of "gangWay' Is famous over IN
the Filipino lines Insurgents who have been
brought i'm either as wounded or prisoners nave
inouired eagerly the meaning and potency OF
that mysterious Yankee word which invariably
preceded "a Filipino retreat. And so the Third
hes contributed another famous word TO the
technical slang Of the American soldier

Warren and Fnen had owned the propeIy

Warren hesitated a moment His friends De-

considering a moment Warren took his hands
out Of his trousers pockets and remarked:

HANDLING BILLION N MEXICO.
THE ROBBERS WHO ATTACKED THE TRAIN HAD
AN UNPLEASANT SURPRISE.
From The New- Orleans Times- Democrat

From The New-Orleans Times Democrat
The story was told by a mining man who has
had a good deal Of experience in Old Mexico
In the foothills of the Sierra Madres, about
sixty miles west Of Chihuahua" he said, lis the
Santa Rosa gold mine, which was worked very
profitably in the early eighties The only trouble
vas in getting the bullion to Chihuahua, for the
country was infested with all manner of thieves
and despetadoes and the trail splendid
place for a hold-up. on one occasion just before
a regular shipment of couple Of bricks worth
about 1000 the superintendent got straight
tip that the pack train would be attacked, ana
took the precautiOn OF sending along an extra
guard consisting Of six men heavily armed with
Winchestcrs and revolVers A prospector named
Dixon was at the mine at the time, and had In
tended going in with the party. but when ne
heard the rumor of trouble he sensiby CON
cluded that he would be safer alone and set Off
on an old south trail, driving a wretched buYro
loaded with his camping outfit His sagaclty
was applauded when the news came back that
the rack train had been ambuscaded in rocky
pass by a large party Of Mexican brigands. one
of the escort was wounded at the first Volley
and seeing themselves hOpelessly outnumbered
the guards abandoned the treasure mule ana ned
for their lives
"Dixon reached Chihuahua all right and
chuckled greatly when he heard the story. for
he had been chaffed a good deal at the mine Tor
refusing to go with what was considered per
fectlv safe escort. | met him several months

TO MAKE "HINDSIGHT' POSSIBLE.
rom The Cincinnati Enquirer.

From The Cincinnati Enquirer
"Hindsght" is better than foresight In some
contingencies and a man who appreciates that
fact has laid the foundation Of a modest fortune
in securing patent upon novel htue device
which supplies "hindsight" to the people VINO
need it most.
"A post-visual reflector Is what the inventor
calls his new invention. 1t is an arrangement OF
adjusted mirrors. which enables the wearer to
see everything occurring within certain range
behind his back without turning his head
The post-visual reflector Will be useful TO jock
eys drivers roWers and cyclists.
For jockeys this appliance is fastened to the
bows OF a pair Of big spectacles, fitted with clear
glasses Of no magnfying power. The glasses
are intended as mudguards to protect the eyes
from the dirt thrown up by the horses flying
feet The little renectOrs are fastened above the
glasses and set at angle which brings the
fun width OF a racetrack for distance Of one
hundred yards within clear range Of vision.
For rowers and bicycsts the pOst-yisual re-
fector is ga valuable as II is to horsemen.
ROwers and cyclists do not need the mud
guards, and for them second patent provides
for the adjustment Of the reflectors to a light
head band, which holds them In exact relative
position to the eye, no matter ut what angle the
head OF the wearer may be turned

FATIGUE FROM MENTAL WORK.
From The London Globe.

From The LONDON GIObe
Dr. Edward Thorndike. OF the Western Rs
serve University, United States has made sumo
interesting experiments on mental fatigue We
are used 10 think OF the mind machine, and
our inability to work a sign OF its loss Of
energy. Sleep is supposed to restore the energy,
as an accumulation is recharged with electricity.
The incorrectness Of this view might be Ques-
toned by the fact that mental action is too
complex for such simplicity, and that spms
minds do not tire with large amounts Of work.
DR.. Thorndike's experiments show that certain
persons fit for hard mental work aftfY .
