most picturesque side of Baden-POw-
ellis character. There is nothing he
loves more than ranging over the world
discovering the weak spots in the arm
or of our enemies. If the story Of
Baden-Powell as a scout ever comes to
be written in detail, 1t will astonish
the world. Here. for obvious reasons,
it is impossible to do more than sug-
gest. and no mention can be made Of
nations and places. The following
story will explain what We mean. At
the manoeuvres of one of the great
armies, while the accredited represen-
tatives of the British army We're watch
ing everything by the side of the officer
commanding, Baden-Powell perfectly
disguised, was moving about at the
back Of the army. seeing things that
were not intended for foreign eyes.
1t was entirely on his own initiative
that he went, but the report he sent to
the Horse Guards Of those manoeuvres
and there were useful details about
other things, such as forts-is said by
a very high authority to be one of the
most perfect things in its way that
ever reached the war office. He is for
ever wandering over the globe, often.
mind knowledge of the most advanced
European nations and the most back
ward of African tribes. In 1885 he
made a reconnaissance, unaccompanied.
Of 600 miles Of Natal frontier in twenty
days. He was the intelligence officer
In the Zulu operations of 1887, and
was mentioned in dispatches. A year
later he was acting as secretary to the
| ,,st s,L
probably knows more about Ashanti
that any other European: and there Is
very little about continental armies
that Baden-Powell does not know
Wherever lie goes his mind is at work,
and 1t is almost as difficult for him to
look at a man and not know all about
him as II was for Sherlock Holmes,
whom. by the way, he greatly admires.
AS AN OFFICER.
But while 1t is as u scout that
Baden-Powell Is most picturesque and
romantic, 1t is as a regimental officer
that his character can be best judged.
l do not think 1t probable that any SOL
der would contradict the statement
that Baden-Powell is the ideal regi-
mental officer. Some sergeants in the
Thirteenth Hussars were once asked
IL the men liked Baden Powell. After
a pause one of them said hesitatingly:
Like him? wei. / shouldn't say they
like him. then, in burst, why, they
worship him. And this is a fact The
men love him. Their love Is prompted
not , any leniency or coddling on the
part of Baden-Powell. but by his tire
less devotion to their service and by
his faith in their intelligence and good
sense. Tommy Atkins Is not the
childish boy that the British public are
apt to think says Baden-Powell in
Aids to Scouting and then ne goes
on to say: He Is. on the contrary, a
man who reads and thinks for himself,
and he Is keen on any instruction in
really practical soldering"
1t seems strange to be told that
Baden-Powell had no early desire for
a soldiers life. The writer quoted
above says:
He never expressed liking or pref
erence for any particular profession.

How to Save Doctor Bills.

We have saved many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in our home. We keep
q bottle open all the time and when
ever any Of my family or myself begin
to catch cold We begin to use the Cough
Remedy, and as a result We never have
to send away for a doctor and incur 4
large doctor bill. for Chamberlain
Cough Remedy never fails to cure. 1t
Is certainly a medicine of great merit
and worth.-D. s. Mearkle. General

and seemed to imagine that his only
mission in life was to go about acquir-
ing knowledge of every thing on the
earth. When 1t was proposed that he
should join brother in the Indian
civil service he accepted the idea quite
cheerfully. but without any particular
enthusiasm, and it was only when an
other brother suggested that IL he
wanted to see India he might just as
we'll go into the army that Baden
Powell thought seriously about the SER
vice"
AN ANEcDoTE.
The following anecdotes show an
other of Baden-Powells many sides:
"He celebrated his arrival in India
by marshalling all the European chill
dren he could find and marching them
up and down the streets to the tune Of
The Girl I Left Behind Me- PLAYED
with considerable feeling by himself
on an ocarina! This performance is a
fair example of his overnowing good
spirits, but there is another story which
better illustrates his love for pure
foolery. He was walking with a friend
on the esplanade of some English sea-
side place. and the day was piping
hot. Suddenly, without explanation Of
any kind, Baden-POwell sat himself
down on the curb. placed his billycock
hat solemnly on his knees, and buried
his face in flaming red handkerchief
This unprecedented sight stirred the
depths Of the one and only policeman's
heart. and he strode valiantly across
the road, prepared to do his duty at
all costs. Touching Baden-Powell
upon the shoulder with his white cot
ton glove in the regulation manner,
the constable demanded, in a deep
voice: 'Arnd, what's the matter wi
you. eh?' Slowly removing the hand
kerchief from his eyes. and with a per-
fectly solemn face. Baden-Powell ex-
planned that he had just at that mo-
ment tumbled out OF his nurses arms
and that the silly woman had gone on
without noticing it,"

ness. Consequently. when the Lisbon
government pleaded guilty and admit
ted responsibility by paying commit
ting sum on account, England and
the United states were forced to give
ear to her entreaty for q court Of arbi-
tration to Ak the amount of indemnity.
Secretary Blaine favored compelling
Portugal to make immediate reparu-
ton to Mrs. McMurdo. but yielded to q
request for arbitration. He forced Por-
tugal. however. to abandon its. charges
of technical breach Of contract, and
confess unwarranted seizure, thereby
reducing the arbitration to one of in
demnity only. Colonel Robert q. In
gersoll, chief counsel for the American
plaintiff, co.operated with Mr.. Blaine
In arranging the terms Of submission.
ARBITRATION ARRANGED.
In 1890 the president Of the Swiss
republic appointed three jurists of his
country to sit as a court to determine
the value of the railroad, concession
and lands, and their future earning ca
pacity, so that Portugal should at
once pay the Englishmen and the
Americans interested in the affair the
tors gave the interested powers to un-
derstand that its labors would be cons-
pleted In eighteen months. Up to the
appointment Of the Delagoa court
Swiss judges had done a good share
OF the work Of arbitrating disputes
between governments. but the almost
criminal procrastination that has char
acterized the Delagoa case will doubt
less cause litigating states to apply
elsewhere to have disputes adjudicated.
More than one secretary of the state Of
the United States and more than one
premier of England has besought the
arbitrators to render their decision. No
Portuguese official, presumably. has
desired to hasten matters, for to fail
dishonesty into possession OF a rail-
road. paying at the time q net profit
of 100000 a year is too excellent a
proposition to tamper with. Portugal
naturally is dreading to have payday
come, and 1t will be awkward without
outside help for the Portuguese gov.
ernment to raise the ten or twelve mil
lion dollars for its high-handed spolia.

his friends, whose name Is legion, he
Is usually called "B. p" The man in

to call a kopje a koppi, and knows
that Mafeking is pronounced Maffy-

Of his favorite here. One generally
hears the Baden pronounced as though
1t were the famous German watering
place, and often the "w"' in Powell is
overlooked. His school nickname at
Charterhouse, Bathing towel" gives
the vowels their proper sounds.
Baden-Powell Is so versatile that he
seems to charm all with whom he
comes in contact. He was famous as
an actor long before he was as a SOL
der. When in India, whispers that he
was going to act In the "Area Belle"

AS A LECTURER. 81.

a correspondent writes in the Pail Mall
Gazette. "Baden-Powell is very nearly
as popular as he is as an actor. The
following story attests his hold over
the men as an instructor. He was de-
livering course of lectures somewhere
in Ireland and the room had always
been crowded with soldiers, noticeable
among whom was a very smart, intelli-
gent young sergeant. Toward the close
of the series Baden-Powell was as
tonished one day to find this sergeant
brought before him charged with
drunkenness. Whatever made YOU get
drunk he asked. We'll, sir. I got to
your lecture late last night said the
sergeant. and the room was full and
I couldn't get In. so, of course, had
70 get drunk. There was no artful-
ness in the excuse; the man had never
been known to get drunk in his life.
