What Lord WoIseIey Has to Say
About Well Dressed Soldiers.

About Well Dressed Soldiers.
London Mail. -
Lord Wolseley places much value in the
personal appearance of our soldiers and
believes in having them, well and smartly
dressed.
"The soldier" he says, In his pocket
book, 'is a peculiar animal that can alone
be brought to the highest efficiency by
inducing him to believe he belongs to
regiment which is infinitely superior to
the others about him. In their endeavors
to foster this spirit, colonies are greatly
aided by being able to point to some Pc
culiarity in dress or title, and for this
reason it Is most unwise to take from
regiment any device or popularity Of any
sort in which the men take pride.
ct is not easy at any time to make an
Englishman look like a soldier. He Is
fond of longish hair and uncut whiskers
Men who have never worn boards are apt
to think that to wear one saves good
deal of trouble. On service discipline de-
teriorates when but little attention is
paid to dress and when the men wear
almost what they like.

must be made for men who march daily.
They cannot be expected to be shaved
and have their clothes as well brushed as
In barracks; but without wearying or In
any way bullying them great deal may
be done by officers acting upon good
system. Make a man proud Of himself
and his corps and he can always be de-
pended upon.

He must be taughtGto despise all those

SLAVERY IN EARLY DAYS.
Servants Were Bought and Sold by
the American CoIOnists.


the American CoIonists.
From Self-Culture.
Alongside the development Of the to-
bacco industry there had grown up in
the South an extensive system CT slav-
cry. To our minds today the word
Slave, as applied to this continent, is
practically synonymous with negro
but slavery in the colonial days was not
by any means confined to the negro race.
The indentured servants, who could be
bought or sold, formed no inconsidef-
able class in the colonies For the most
part these people were English laborers
who sold their services for certain
number Of years to pay for their passage
to the plantations. Many Of them were
ex-convicts or persons of broken fortunes
who In fit Of reckleSSnesS had plunged
themselves into the abyss, trusting to
luck that they might come up in bet
ter plight in the new world.
Sometimes gangs of these unfortunates
were driven from place to place for sale.
The colonists not appropriately called
the masters of such gangs soul drivers,
and, despite the fact that these white
slaves were purchased by the planters
for their services, the dealers engaged in
such traffic as a business received but
little sympathy from the people The
story is told of one master who, after
selling his gang except;sone young Irish
man, drank himself into heavy sleep
and awoke the next day to find that the
son of Erin had represented himself as
the MASTER sold his drunken owner and
made off with the proceeds of the sale.

Mr.. Mclaughlin was put on to impeach
the testimony Of Speaker Stiff, Of the
Montana legislature, concerning the sale
of timber lands to Mr.. Clrak just before

made the sale through Mr.. Bickford, and
that in making it he had not discussed
the United States senatorial contest with
Mr.. Bickford.

which he had with Mr.. Whiteside before

the latter had told him that there was
to be a big sensation in connection with

says:
One season has demonstrated that the
N c. A form of cycling racing govern,
ment is built upon substantial, permanent
and satisfactory lines though it Is to
be admitted that there is still room for
Improvement in various directions.
During the first year of its existence
the n. c. A. has embraced nearly 100
bicycle tracks, bicycle clubs and bicycle
race promoting associations, which are
active or associate members or have
conducted meets under It's permit. With
scarcely one exception every noted
bicycle track in the country become as
ISOLATED with the National Cycling asso-
citation.
The negotiations with the California
Amateur Cycling clubs have progressed
TO such an extent that the receipt of an
official notification of the transfer Of the
control Of the sport on the Pacific slope
may be expected. An understanding has
been reached with the Southern Cycling
association, and with this accomplished
the National Cycling association will
have extended It's jurisdiction to cover
the entire country.
Foreign recognition has been prac-
tically obtained"
