My first sight Of the king Of Pail

beautifully situated Oh high ground
and chiefly remarkable for the num-

that swarmed in Che guinea corn fields
all around it. II Was the only place
where saw them ii any quantities.
We started Of about $3.50. while TIC
heavy dew was Still sparkling ON the
grass, and soon met the head Of The
Pail contingent. First came $50 bow
mon carrying nothing but theirweap-
ons and wearing only the smallest Of
loin cloths. AZ regular intervals
among them were mounted officers.
Next came bodyguard Of 20 picked
men dressed in red gowns with white
plaits down the back and armed with
every imaginable kind Of gun, the
locks ofwhich were incased in leather.
After passing these men ] came on
really beautiful sight
The king had drawn up under the
trees on one side Of the path, and
somc 40 or so mounted followers had
arranged themselves all around and
behind him. They we're dressed for
the most part in white gowns, but gen
orally with either a colorcd lining or
another colored gown underneath.
Voluminous white or blue turbans
covered their heads, and some Of them
wore very handsome riding boots,
though the majority were barefooted.
The high-peaked saddles we're COW
cred with brightly colored saddle
cloths and the horses heads we're al
most hidden by enormous brides,
covered with tin ornaments, which
kept up a perpetual jingling as they
tossed their heads about to keep off
the flies. Onmy approach they waved
their spears over their heads with the
butt to the front in token Of friend

Whereupon the general proceeded
to tell story: There were three
neighbors, Ivan, Sidor and Peter,
each of whom had keeper to look
after his farm. One day it occurred to
Ivan that if his two neighbors leagued
against him he would have a poor
chance. Therefore he hired another
man, which led Sidor to believe he
had some evil purpose, who thereupon
secured a couple more men, and
thought he could sleep in peace. Ivan

that marble dust entered very largely
into its manufacture. The new Eng
lish shield is said to be similarly con-
structed except that IL has solved the
problem of weight. In aiming at light
ness, impenetrability was sacrificed at
first, but gradually the two requisites
were secured.
The new shield is the product Of a
Scotchman. who, taking Zeigler's ma
teral as a foundation. has evolved a
device which is said to be impervious
to Mauser or Lee-Metford bullets at
400 yards, and to light machine-gun
fire at 700 yards. 1t weighs thirteen
pounds and cannot be overturned by
the impact Of any number of bullets. II

arms was only averted by the assist
ance given the land forces by the navy.
This engagement assumed the proper
tons and characteristics of a battle,
and gave Mexico an idea OF the gravity
OF the situation which 1t is facing. But
the Yaquis had powerful allies. The
cowboys of Arizona have an inveterate
hatred OF the "Greaser." and esteem 1t
special privilege when fortune puts
it in their way to legitimately kill one
Of the obnoxious race. And the cow
boy is liberal in constituting the mean
ing of the term legitimate. Moreover,
the cowpunchers dearly love a fight
for its own sake. and when the Yaqui
rebellion presented the opportunity not
only for a fight but for chance to get
shot at the hereditary enemy, num-
bers of the cowboys crossed the border
and joined the Indian forces.

these people have been fighting the
Spanish invaders and their Mexican
descendants, and never have they ac-

numbering not more than $1,000, and
occupying the mining region of the
State of Sonora. their spirit of indie

Nevertheless the Yaquis have a rec

when oppressed they have simply
risen to redress their wrongs. In their
mountain fastness they could no more
