A veteran who was on the trail IN

Mr. White had been appointed at
Washington. as sutler for the military
post Of Fort Buchanan. several days
distant from Fillmore. White had
never been in the Indian country and
laughed at the fears Of the people at
the fort, who warned him Of danger
from an attack Of prowling Apaches.
He said be could not wait for a strong
er party to come along and would start
for his destination the next day. Mrs.
White was a L autiful young woman
OF one Of the eastern cities, who had
never left her fathers roof until she

of the mountains. The ambulance
left the next morning. AT daybreak

veteran, eve were aroused by the
rapid beating Of the drum. Two men
had arrived at the post from the west
They said that about twenty miles /

by counting the tracks Of their horses.
We rode at the height Of speed all
day. not stopping for food or rest In
the evening we entered a valley that
extended farther than the eye cou.d
reach to the southwark. It was a
bright moonlight night. and all night
We rode through the valley. The
weaker horses gave out. but the main
body pushed on, stopping only to water
the horses at a mountain stream and
snatch a quick lunch from a small
store with which we were supplied. It
was the longest and hardest ride
ever knew. and yet we seemed far be-
hind the fleeing savages. At daylight
we reached a stream of water and
there the quick eye Of our scouts dis
covered the dead body Of Mrs. Whites
babe. The babe had been killed by
the Indians out Of Wanton cruelty. At
the spring our guides decided that we
should rest while they pushed eau
tiOusly ahead without any attendants
They believed the Indians would be
found In camp along the valley, and
the approach must be with the great
est caution. We waited for hours. Our
patience was sorely tried, but in the
evening We had a chance at the saw
ages. The party of which I was a
member was lying in the rocks. with
the camp of the Indians directly before
as, and each man had singled out his
savage. The Indians were stretched
on the ground around a smouldering
fire, and they paid no attention what
ever to our whippoorwill's cry. We
opened fire from both sides of the
camp at the same instant, and then /
rushed forward. Seven Of the Indians
lay dead. Several Of the sleeping forms
eaped to their feet and disappeared |
n the shadow Of the trees. Upon ar
living at the camp we found to our
'orrow that Mrs. White was dead. One

People who take to cremation seem
to have a fondness for having their
ashes scattered TO the winds. There
was the first man who was cremated in
this country. That is to say. the first
IN recent times. Toward the end Of
the eighteenth century a southener
by the name Of Lawrence left a re-
quest to be cremated His sons built
a Srnace especially. and the first ere
mation-not Indian-took place on
American soil. But in 1876 Baron Won
Palm was cremated in DR.. Lemoyne's
private crematory at Washington, Pa,
and his ashes were scattered upon the
Hudson river Then there was Ernest
Rosin who, in 1897, stood on the
Eads bridge over the Mississippi ana
poured his fathers ashes into the
stream below In both cases The dead
men had asked to be thus thrown
adrift. Il is said that Joaquin Miller
has made a similar request Another
case Of the same kind was that Of
William Petersen Appleby. an officer
in the Mexican and the civil wars.
His body was cremated at Fresh Pond.
in 1898, and the widow took the ashes
10 her home in Hampstead. Her hus-
band had asked her to scatter them
abroad on the first windy day after
his cremation. She waited until a gale
was blowing, and then. ia the presence
Of some Of her husbands friends. held
the ashes out by handfuls and let the
wind whirl them away. AT Bromberg.
Germany, in 1897, the ashes Of one
Robert Arons were sold at public auc-
tion for S3.75. The purchaser was not
a member Of the dead mans family.
The records stop short there. and one
is left guessing who wanted the ashes
badly enough TO pay S375 for them. /

The danger threatened to British
shipping by foreign competition is
the subject Of investigation on the part
Of the British Chamber Of Shipping At
recent meeting a resolution was
passed urging British ship owners to
induce every firm to take at least two
boys as apprentices in each vessel, to
provide suitable accommodation for
them apart from the crew and to give
as much care as possible to their train
ing. At present there are not enough
British seamen to man the ships, and
unless England adopts the training
methods Of other nations the compe-
tition bids fair to rapidly become
more strenuous.
