Panic His Order Created Among
Rough Rider Officers.

| Washington Correspondence St Louis
| Globe Democrat
Maj. Lewellyn, of the New Mexico bat
! talon of Roosevelt's Rough Riders has
been in Washington this week. He tells
story illustrative of the magnificent
| bluff this famous organization put up to
| establish a readiness for service at the
| front
! 1t will be remembered while other vol
| unteers were going through medical ex-
! aminations and setting up drills and all
! sorts of seasoning processes, the Rough
| Riders were hastily assembled from
Tombstone, Las Cruces, Harvard Univer-
sity, the New York police force and a
great variety of sources. The organiza-
tion was rapidly recruited hurriedly
mounted. reported fit for anything and
| rushed to the front at Santiago with the
regulars. Roosevelt dropped his duties as
! Assistant Secretary of the Navy one day,
started that night for the rendezvous of
| the regiment in the Southwest, and ten
days later was in the saddle.
THE Colonel arrived one day, and
hadn't been in camp an hour when he
| sent out an order for a council of Of
fcers," said Lewellyn. 1--WE all hurried up
, what was meant. Roosevelt addressed us
sharply. He said: 81 am going to have
regtmental drill in the morning at 9
| O'Clock. Here are the movements you
| will be prepared to execute, and I want
! them done not only accurately but with
snap I'll never forget how the Colonel
got out that word snap He said no
more, but dismissed us with all the man
ner of the strictest disciplinarian.
II went off with the cold chills run
ming UP and down my back for I was
conscious of how rusty I was in all the
tactics We carried off the list of move
ments the Colonel had given us and stud
led them until taps. At o'clock the regi-
ment was out, and until Y o'clock we
pounded away under the hot sun at the
programme Col. Roosevelt had given us.
The most eXacting West Pointer ever
turned out couldn't have put us through
a more severe trial than Roosevelt did
When we got to the end of that regi-
mental drill we were covered with dust
and sweat and used up worse than if we
had been riding the range all day
"a little later ] had washed, and was
passing the headquarters, when Col
Roosevelt saw me and beckoned to me
TO come in. He was lying on cot and
laughing 10 himself gleefully. He said TO
me: I'VE got through that regimental
drill pretty well, but do you know, can
tain, that those movements were every
blessed thing / knew OF the tactics? I
studied them out on the cars coming from
Washington. II Wood had ordered anv
other movements would have been I'm a
bad fix And after that" said Mai. Level
lyn, II know that the thing to do in the
Rough Riders was to put up a bold front
and go ahead, and we did"

MONEY FOR COLLEGES.

An eastern paper has canvassed
twenty colleges as to their hopes and
desires in the matter of funds. They
hope for an aggregate of So, 500, 900 in
gifts at an early date, and they desire
S26, 800, 900. The Springfield Republican
says Harvard's hopes are placed at re
70, but its desires are for $40, 600, 900.
We are afraid that Governor Stan
ford's endowment to the Stamford uni
yersity is spelling those people in the
east; they all want finer buildings,
more magnificent libraries. apparatus
for investigating everything and high
priced professors. They should remem-
Der that little account in the New Tes-
lament where the rich man, when he
went to pray, stood on the street cor
ner and thanked the Lord that he
wasn't like the chaps over on the other
corner; but the poor devil. he simply
went off by himself and cried to the
Lord to have mercy on him, a sinner.
There is no use trying to reverse the
'lA hl' NblltStS W HOl uldht men,,
they are only helps at best. The best
thing to pray for is a glorifed race of
men: if they car be obtained, they will
be splendid without any colleges. Ben
jamin Franklin had not many advan-
tages IN his youth. but when he went
to England the colleges there and il
Scotland were anxious to place his
name upon their rolls and bestow hon
ors upon him, becaused they realized
that if there never had been a u%niversi-
ty in the world. Franklin, to the mod
ern world, would have been what So
was to the ancient world-a
fountain of knowledge for his fellow

Suppose there is a fire at midnight.
The billposter arrives on the scene
soon after the iremen, and while they
subdue the flames he buttonholes the
owneT of the burning building or the
tenants. If the blaze is confined to the
store-room on the ground floor, the
billposter talks with the proprietor and
usually to some end. An hour after
the fire is out. he will be boarding up
the show windows, and by the time
the City is awake the boards will be
covered with gayly colored bills adver-
Using anything from pills to a popu-
lar play. Let a shopkeeper move. Be-
fol-, iro'f as goods are zone the bill
his plans. The first night the store
room is vacant the %billposter will put
in his appearance and unless a police
man interferes he will decorate its
front with a selection of invitations to
buy a dozen kinds of patent medicines.
A oma breaks down late in the
evening and the weary driver, unhitch-
ing his horses, goes home intending to
return in the morning prepared to put
It to rights. The billposter, ever on
the watch, hastens to his shop and mix
es up a new lot of paste, while his as
sistant lays out a choice assortment of
small bills. That night they make the
brOken-down wagon look like the lion
cage of a one-ring circus, and the driv-
err returning in the morning swears
when he views the invitations to buy
one of Blanks best business suits for
81. Some night a servant girl, tired
out with the days washing, forgets to
take in the family ash can. Before she
is asleep the %billposter had sighted the
can. Usually he has his paste and bills
ready for just such a chance, and it
takes him next to no time to decorate
the can, changing it's appearance so
much that the kitchen cat, coming
home in the early hours, seeing it, con-
cludes that she has missed her bear
ings and moves on down the street to
be lost.
There is an explosion somewhere in
town. The boss %billposter hears of 1t
and is off for the scene post haste. Ar
irving there he makes his way through
the crowd and observes in which direc-
ton most eyes are pointed. If the per-
son in the crowd are looking toward
a dead wall he is delighted. He hunts
up the man who owns it, rents it, or
has access to it and makes a bargain
with him. Then he hurries up his men
and before interest has been lost in
the explosion he has a choice selection
of bills on the wall.-New York Even
