On one of his voyages from Eng
land to South Africa, Rudyard Kip
ling was pestered by a flock of pas
sengers who wished to gush over him
and hero-worship him. One fore
noon, while walking the deck, hand
in hand with his little daughter, one
of the gushers, seeing an opportunity
to flatter the father and so make
friends with the author, threw him
self in the way of the couple. ''Oh,
Mr.. kipling." he gushed, is that
your child?" Kipling grunted a
non-committal "Yes," and tried to
pass. But the fellow was not done
with him. Still standing in the way
he exclaimed: what n delightfully."-

 The fence around the old cemetery
 still remains to protect the graves of several civilians that have been buried there, but the bones of the officers and soldiers Were removed to the military cemetery at Fort McPherson when the post was abandoned. The tomb of Falling Leaf. the daughter of Spotted Tail, the famous chief of the Ogallala tribe of Sioux has also disa pneared. and there is a difference of opinion as 10 what became of it. Some say that it was removed to the Red Cloud agency. others say that the scaffold blew down and the soldiers gathered up She bones and buried them in the cemetery. But. whatever it's disposi- tion may have been. it was a startling and an unusual landmark. and the fa- vorite theme of visitors to Laramie The story has many versions. accore- ing to the accuracy and the idealism of the writers. but the facts are these:
 Spotted Tail had a daughter who r1re the poetic name of Falling Leaf. Her bearity. from the Indian stand point. was unsurpassed by any of the maidens of the Dakota nation. and white people regarded her as the finest type of Indian girlhood. The women of the post made a great deal Of her along in the early '70s, when she spent considerable time here as their guest They taught her the arts of the house hold and the English language, and the chaplain's wife converted her to Chris tianity. It was very natural that Fall ing Leaf should attract the admiration of men. and a young Irish officer of a cavalry regiment showed her a great deal of attention. He was a charming fellow and of a reckless disposition
 Fate ordered that Falling Leaf should receive his attentions seriously. and when her father discovered the fact he showed great concern. Nobody knows what happened, but, according to the popular version of the story, he asked the intercession of the commandant to ascertain whether the young dragoon intended to marry his daughter. If there was such an inquiry the result could not have been to his satisfact for the old chief took his daughter up into the Big Horn country, where after a year or more she pined away and died of a broken heart It is said that during her dying hours she made her father promise to bury her at Fort Laramie, which he did, erecting a high scaffold on hill overlooking the fort, according to the Indian custom, and sealing her body in a heavy oaken box It is also said that the girl exacted from him a VOW that he would always be a friend to the whites, and it was faith fully kept. After the death of Falling Leaf Spotted Tail remained in seclr- sion at the agency, where his powerful influence was always exercised in the interest of peace and respect for the goVernment.-Fort Laramie Corre- spondence Chicago Record.

A LONG DISTANCE COURTsHIP.

There is at least one high Chinese of ficial who has not permitted the distur- bances at home to interfere with his private affairs. This is no less a per son than Chih Chen Lo Fengh Lu am bassador of the son of heaven at the court of St. James. About a year ago his wife died and some months later he cabled for spouse No. to China. Courtship, or whatever it is called in China, was evidently carried on quite successfully by proxy, for the amiable lady forthwith took ship for London. accompanied by a numerous retinue. The second lady Chin Chen is the daughter of mandarin of high degree whose extended station is signified by his posse ssion of the much coveted pea cock feather Among the women of her native land she is accounted beauty. Upon her arrival in London she was taken to house in St. Jorn's Wood. which Chin Chen had fitted up for her. and whera the wedding ceremony was performed according to the Chinese rituaI.-Ohio State Journal.

FOREIGN F NOTES
 AND COMMENT

American friends and acquaintances or Prince Albert of Belgium will do well to take note of the fact that his mar riage to Princess Elizabeth of Bavaria will take place during the last week of next month. It was to have been cele- brated fortnight ago, but had to be postponed cn the very eve of the date fixed for the wedding, owing to the sud- den death of Prince Albert's grand mother, the Dowager Princess of Ho- henzollern. The ceremony will take place at Munich. much to the disgust of the good people of Brussels.
 The controversy which has recently taken place between w. w. Astor and Sir Berkeley Milne has had the rather remarkable, but still not altogether unexpected effect of starting a move ment in England for the revival of du- cling, and it is declared on unquestion- able authority that the Prince of Wales himself views this movement with ap- proval. This is not surprising in view of the cosmopolitan ideas of the British
 
 that something of the kind will have to . De done now that the intercourse be- tween continental society and that of England has become so close and inti- mate. Sir Archibald Milne is not mere ly man of ancient family and mem Der of several leading London clubs, but IS likewise a captain of the royal navy. This being the case, the view is taken by society in England and on the continent that he affront placed upon him by MT. Astor, first in turning him out of his house and then publishing the fact in his paper, the Pail Mall Ga zette, constitutes an indignity not only to the service to which Sir Archibald belongs. but likewise to the Que nls cloth ' which he wears. For officers of the army and navy in Europe are ex- pressly taught that they must alt all cost have the Queens cloth respect ed; that any indignity to which it is subjected is an insult to the sovereign and must be resented as such.
 On the continent any officer who does not resent such an affront, either by cxacting the most abject apology or else by fighting duel with the insult 1T. is compelled to resign his commis- sion. and is subjected thenc5forth 10 such social Ostracism as to render ex- patriation indispensable. To such a point Is this idea carried that when e man debarred by reason of his inferi- ority of rank from giving satisfaction to the affronted officer by a meeting on the field of honor, that is to say, by a deul. the officer is considered to have a right to draw his sword, and t3 cut the fellow down, receiving litle or no pun ishment, and losing no caste or con- S:deration if he happens to kill his man while so doing.

THE LAW OF THE COCKTAIL.

The revenue authorities at Washing ton have decided that the liquor dealer who compounds cocktails in bulk and puts them into bottle to await sale must pay tax to the government. At the office of Collector Treat the other day his deputy, David S. Wendell, ex- piained the situation as follows:
 If you go to a saloonkeeper and buy a cocktail and he mixes it for you then and there, he subjects himself to no taxation. The situation is the same if he mixes the cocktail at your order. puts it up in a bottle and then deliv- CTS 1t to you. But if he mixes cocktails. puts them in bottles and then awaits customers for them. he becomes a rec tii1er and must take out rectitier's lf- cense, costing $1OO. That is all there is to it.'-New York Sun.

AT OLD FORT LARAMIE.
The Deserted Frontier Post in the
 Hands of Civilians.

For half a century Fort Laramie was the most important military post on the northern frontier. The Hudson Bay company established a fur trading station here early in the century, for the convenience of the trappers and hunters of Wyoming and southern Da- kota, and in 1S49 the government bought the property for S4,OO0, when It became necessary to protect the over land caravans against the Indians, IL was always the most important station on the overland stage line, as it was the junction with the line that ran to Den yer and Pike's peak. For forty years it was the fitting-out place for military expeditions against the Indians. It was surrounded by hostile tribes. There were several agencies in either direc- tion and a large garrison was neces- sary in order to keep the Indians in subjection. Socially Fort Laramie was a very gay place, and it has been the scene of many tragic and romantic in cidents, which General Charles E. King has used as the foundation for several of his military novels.
 After the battle of Wounded Knee, in 1891, a military garrison was no longer necessary in this part of the country, The reservation, nine miles long and six miles wide, was opened to settle rnent and the buildings were bought at auction by Joe Wilde and John Hun ton. familiar characters ito army off cers and veterans of the frontier, who occupy a portion Ond are tearing down the rest.

half-hearted and graceless apology published in the Pal Mall Gazette by MT. Astor is in no sense of the word ad- oquate to the situation, or that it meets the requirements of the case, since he merely retracted the paragraph which he had published about Sir Berkeley having been uninvited to his house. A far more ample apology is required, and failing this it is considered that in spite of the Anglo-Saxon prejudicss against duelling Mir. Astor should be forced by Sir Berkeley to fight him. The latter has almost as many friends on the continent as in England, and whe he visits Vienna, Berlin or Paris he is at once given the run of the leading clubs there if he does not hap pen to be on the list of members. If he is to continue to enjoy these privileges and this consideration abroad, it is nec- ossary that he should order his conduct in accordance with the ethics which prevail there and it is realized by Sir Berkeley and his fellow officers, friends and sympathizers in England that un- less MT. Astor apologizes for his affront in far more public and abjcct manner than he has done until now, or else fights a duel with Sir Berkeley, the lat ter is likely to find the doors of conti- mental clubs closed against him, and hands that were formerly extended to him in friendship and companionship contemptuously withheld.
 In fact, if matters r5main as they are now. the position, especially abroad, iS likely to prove one of exceptional diff culty while even in England it will be decidedly awkward. It must be borne in mind that if English military reg ulations forbid duslling, so do the mili- tary regulations If the continent. The military regulations on the subject. however. have been devised solely for the purpose of satisfying public opin- ion. and are not meant to be obeyed by the continental officers. Indeed, obedi- ence thereto entails compulsory resig- nation and Ostracism. It is no secret that the princes of the reigning house of England. who are so much bound up with foreign courts and allied by ties of blood with foreign royal families, share these views and I can recall one mem orable case, mandy, that of Colonel, the | Honorable Fred Wellesley, brother of the late Earl Cowley, who was forced to ! resign his comand in the Coldstream | Guards. his post as aide-de-camp to the Queen, and his secretaryship of the British embassy to Austria for having while at Vienna declined to fight | duel with Count Hugo Kalnocky, after
 having had his face publicly slapped l by th= latter. Wellesley, after his re | turn to England, tried to 5Xplain mat
 ters to the Royal Duke of Cambridge
 who was cOmmander-in-ch chief of the army a. the time and who had demand ed the resignation of Wellesley's com mision. Pointing out that Gu Hing was contrary to English military regula-
 tions. he exclaimed: But what am ! to do. sir Turn dancing master and be damned to you" growled the duke | pointing to the door-Marquise de Fon- tenoy in Washington Post.
