Field Glasses Endanger Onicers.

In spite of the many precautions
taken by the English in South Africa
with regard to dressing their officers In
exactly the same fashion as their men.
so as to avoid the Boer sharpshooters
picking them out and shooting them.
the casualties among the officers have
by no means been diminished. The
reason for this is that the enemy's
practiced eye has discovered that field
glasses are used only by those in
command, and as the suns rays prac-
tically heliograph to the sharpshooters
when glittering on the glasses the po-
sition of the British officers, the dan
ger to them remains the same. This
is how the earl of Airlie met with his
death, not by stray or chance bullet,
but by regular shower of lead shot at
him through the reflection of the solar
rays onto his field glass. 1t is claimed
that when Sir George Colley lost his
life on that fatal crest of Majuba hill,
which proved too hot place for the
English years ago. the bullet which
killed him drove some of the glass
from his military telescope into the
wound. from which it would appear
that field glasses were even then
singularly dangerous landmark.

SHE is A COWGIRL.
A REMARKABLE YOUNG WOMAN
OF OKLAHOMA.
One OF the Chief Attractions at the
Recent Reunion of Rough Riders
Is Married and Has Two Pretty
daughters.
Especial Letter.

Miss Lucille Mulhall is the most re-
markable cowgirl in the west. Re-
Gently she was, next to Teddy Roose-
welt, the greatest attraction at the
Rough Riders reunion at Oklahoma
City, Okla. There she gave an exhibit
ton of her prowess and received the
plaudits of thousands. Although she
weighs only 80 pounds she can break
broncho, lasso and brand steer and
shoot coyote at 500 yards. She can
also play Chopin, quote Browning, con-
strue Virgil, and make mayonnaise
dressing.
Mrs. Mulhall has two famous daugh
tiers, and although she is intensely
proud of them she shrinks from the at
halls adventures suggested to Hoyt
the plot of "A Texas Steer" and her
own figure may be recognized as the
heroine of the play. Her little sister
won renown by killing Lobo wolf
and last fall took premiums for las
ysoing wild steers against competitors
from every part of the COW country
rum SdHdud 10 MeAlCO.
I At the Rough Riders reunion Miss
Lucille matched her skill and courage
against the world of cowpunchers, and
because of her mammals refined views
on the up-bringing of girls this was
probably her last appearance in pub
lie. Let it be said that she covered
herself with glory.
She has already spent one term at
convent in st. Louis studying the gen.
tie art with which women are equipped
for welding power in the great world.
By this step her mother, while rejoic-
ing in the bodily vigor which Lucille
had derived from her open-air life,
hoped to wean her from the bolster
Gus pursuits of the ranch.
Lucille, having as great thirst for
knowledge as she had for adventure,
applied herself to her studies with
great industry and returned home a
highly polished young lady. But
she was homesick for the plains, and
glad to mount fiery cow pony, with a
lariat coiled at her pommel. And the
cowboys welcomed Miss Lucille as if
she had been one of themselves. Mrs.
Mulhall smiled as she sighed.
All the territory was talking about
the approaching Rough Riders re-
union. Delegations came to invite
Miss Lucille to give an exhibition of
her frontier accomplishments and en-
ter the competitions. Mrs. Mulhall was
distressed. This was the very sort
of thing she was striving to guard

asserts, than some of the officers OF the
law who hunt them. The Dalton
brothers stopped at the Mulhall ranch
one night and asked for nights lodg-,
ing. 1t was granted them. Miss Null
hall entertained them as ceremonious-
ly as if they had been bank presidents.
She played, sang, recited and con-
versed on topics far removed from
their crime-stained and harassed lives.
The outlaws were captivated and soft
ened They had probably never met
more cultured woman before; they
had certainly never been entertained
with the same delicacy and considera-
ton.
They treated Miss Mulhall with in
finite respect and departed in the
morning with many expressions OF
esteem and gratitude. On her part,
the impression from the encounter was
such favorable one that she will not
hear a word said against the Daltons.

MISS LUCILLE MULHALL.

against. To decline, pointed out the
visitors, would be ungracious not alone
to the territory, but to its most distin-
guished guest. Governor Roosevelts
visit was an event of the highest i'm
portance. The festival was a patriotic
one. 1t celebrated the country's vic
tory in war. And without Miss Lucille
Mulhall, oklahoma's peerless cowgirl,
it would be inadequate,
This appeal to her patriotism con-
quered Mrs. Mulhall, and she consent
ed to her daughters appearance for
this occasion only. Lucille, overjoyed,
went into training and was delighted
to find that her term in the scholarly
shades of the convent had not lessened
her skill with the lariat and rifle. 1t
was her last chance and she meant to
make the most of it. In the fall she
will return to the convent in st. Louis
and in course of time. if her mothers
hopes be fulfilled, she will be too dig
nified a young lady to engage in any
more boisterous diversions than a CO.
tillion.
But she will never forget the proud
moment when, flushed with victory,
she was presented to Governor Roose-
welt, who bowed to her tremendously
and told her that not Rough Rider
in his famous troop could have done
better than she.
The Mulhall ranch is on Beaver
creek, fifty miles from Oklahoma City.
Its owners are of Southern family
and have imported with them into the
solitudes most of the refipements OF
civilization. In the drawing room of
the homestead, for example, is a baby
grand piano on which the mother and
daughters play classical music. They
are environed with books and period
icals and their conversation shows
that exile on the prairie does not pre-
vent them from taking a lively inter-
est in the thought and culture of the
day.
Mr.. lack Mulhall, the father of the
family, is the general live stock agent
of the St. Louis and San Francisco
railroad, but the ranch is his own and
little Miss Lucille is his mainstay in
ITS management.
In earlier years 1t was her privilege
to claim every yearling calf that she
had without assistance roped and
branded with her initials Il. NJ"
This system worResl very well for a
time. but Lucilles ambition increased
with her skin and hes private herd
kept pace with both. The climax came
when, during short absence OF her
father. she roped and branded twenty
of the finest and widest steers on the
ranch. Wishing to avoid bankruptcy
Mr.. Mulhall made haste to repeal the
law.
Miss Agnes Mulhall. the elder daugh-
ter. Is as accomplished ranchwoman
as her little sister and is also a fine
musician and eloeutionist. She is best

they are credited with-and better, she

Ion its own motion, recently added an
amendment forbidding the applica-

To Keep Boys on the Streets.

Stockholm, Sweden, has found way
to keep its public school boys off the
streets after school hours. A year ago
school principals were instructed To
encourage the gathering of pupils in
the public parks after school hours for
the purpose of playing outdoor games,
and several of the larger boys in each
school were officially selected to lead
the games. The innovation proved pop
ular and many boys who formerly
were in the habit of spending their
late afternoons smoking cigarets ami
learning bad habits on the street cor
ners may now be seen each evening
playing baseball, football, and other
athletic games. The board Of educa-
ton of Stockholm thinks so well of the
experiment that it has recently ap-
pointed three men teachers to the po-
sitions of superintendent of outdoor
exercise. 1t will hereafter be their
duty to get together all pupils who are
willing at the close OF school and lead
them to the parks, where, under the
auspices of the board, games will be
provided daily during the season from
to s p. m.

from those whom they serve and use

a concession on the part of the gov

In return the missionary would plead
his case, using his influence and mon

number of converts has grown rapidly
and the natural hatred OF the Chinese
toward the foreigners has been inten
sified,"

printed parchment. For convenience
In handling the sheets were not fast
ened together in form. as is the GUS
tom, but were divided into six parts
and each of the six parts was placed
in thin wooden box. Five of these
coverings were each fastened with the
traditional red tape, while the sixth,
which contained the concluding pages
of the bill, to which the president af-
fixes his signature, was provided with
a sliding top so that its contents could
be easily removed.
