Lavtop,s Rubber Bathtub.

General Lawton made 1t a habit of
his life to take cold water bath ev-
cry morning before breakfast, and
while campaigning he carried with him
a rubber tub. 1t made no difference
where he was, he always ordered the
tubful Of cold water TO his quarters
every morning.
In following the Apaches he reached
a mountain. He knew that the In
dams had fed there, and before pursu-
ing them farther he left his rubber
tub and other tent equipments at the
base of the mountains in charge Of an
old and faithful sergeant to guard
carefully until he returned. 1t was an
old trick with that tribe of Indians
when being pursued to circle around
and return to the exact point whence
they started.
The general left the tub and started
out after the Indians. They circled
around covering a wide territory, and
beat General Lawton back to the base
of the mountain. When he got there
he found that the old sergeant and his
six men had been killed and that his
tub had been carried off by the In
dams. The Apaches evidently learned
how highly the general priced the rub
Der tub, for they placed great store by
1t after they had captured II and guard
ed 1t as closely as they did their owT
lives.-Louisville Courier-Journal.
