rode away just at reveille on that
bright November morning.
"Just at gray of the day the follow
ing morning the rifles of our two out
posts on our exposed side rang out, and
then rang out again. Then came an
alarm from the guard, and inside of a
minute every trooper in the camp was
in the little redoubt which we had
constructed on our exposed side. Out
of the half darkness there came a
laundering horde of warriors. We met
them with a volley and then with an
other, crash. crash, crash. They went
HURTING back, but we knew it wa only
to come again. We held them off, and
it became broad daylight. They swept
down on us time after time. I never
saw Indians come like that before, over

SWELL, the providential happened.
The rest of the Eleventh had been or
dered to join us in winter quarters
They came just in time. The reds went
off like the wind with our comrades
and us after them. We got two or
three long range volleys before they
got into the hills and escaped.
"We picked up a lot of wounded, and
what do you think? One of them was
Winta. She had betrayed us, and she
was dying. Blake looked at her as she
looked at him. why did you do it?' he
asked.

She was sweeter than sweet still on the
youngster Blake; that is, her eyes
would follow him round, and she al

something she wouldn't do fo1 anyone

fashion,
1--WE were running short of meat and
the major sent out hunting party
into the hills with lot Of pack horses.
They were gone ten days and they came
back with enough grub to last us all
winter, but they had bit of news that
we didn't like. They told us that not
more than Is miles off, where two
creeks came together, there was a
huge encampment OF Indians, evident
ly settled for the winter. They had
counted the tepee poles by the aid Of
glasses and figured that there must
be at least 5000 Indians in the village,
which meant fighting strength OF

when Winta. the Indian girl, heard
about the village she said that it was

For three weeks now Wirta had been

Blake came up. The girl turned face

ABOUT LIVING IN FLATS.
The Question as to Its DemOralixin&
Effect on People and Its Proper
Answer.

The fat dwellers, as class. have
worried the social philosopher good
deal. The scheme of daily existence
which they have adopted is great
change from that according to which
the American people lived for eco or
300 years, says Harper's Weekly, When
a family occupy whole house among
other whole houses, they may be said
to live with their sign out and their
flag flying. The conditions under
which people live thus housed and sur
rounded are an equivalent OF the
French etat civil, though we 90 not
formally require our citizens 70 ave
under that sort of official certificate
of identity and responsibility. Inc
American fiat dweller is subject neith-
err to the official inquisition nor TO the
fierce light that beats on the detached
villa. Nobody observes his comlngs ana
goings. He is in most respects the
freest man in the world, the only tyran-
mics to which he is subjected beng the
ianitor's hard hearted denial Of steam
heat just when steam heat Is most
desperately needed, and the tendency
of the people in the fat above to tramp
about at the very moment when one IS
trying 10 get to sleep. These are ma
terial, not moral, forms of pressure.
The fat dweller is free, socially aione'
under no neghborhood superintend-
ence. He is hidden from all the earth.
What is the result? Has anyone dis
covered that the life is essentially de-
moralizing? Unless some one is able
to supply evidence not now at hand to
prove that it is, we shall have to con-
clude that ehe fact that the domestic
virtues continue to flourish among our
present immense popula of Amerl-
can fiat jewellers is just so much new
support for our national theory that
the citizen does not need the attend
ance of a policeman or detective TO
make him good. Publicity may be de-
sirable for corporations, since they
have no souls. 1t is not especially
necessary for the free and weL-taught
citizen, because he has a soul, and his
soul regulates his body the better for
being subject to no earthly supervision
but his own. Or, at any rate, 1T does so
unless we are running our country en-
tirely on the wrong basis-and we do
not think we are.

Curious SURGICAL Case

The popular belief that man who
receives a wound from bullet in the
heart is bound to die therefrom almost
instantaneously is now seen to be I'M
founded, for at the last meeting Of the
French Academy of Medicine DR.. Pey-
rat told of man who was restored to
health after his heart had been pierced
by ball from a revolver The wound
ed man, he said, was placed in hos
pital in Paris, and DR.. Launay, a noted
surgeon, operated on him there with
great success. According to DR.. Peyrat
this is the only case of the kind on
record. True, statistics recently COM
piled by DR.. Dentu show that out of
every hundred persons who receive
wounds in the heart from swords or
daggers from 80 to AZ are cured, but,
though medical books have been care
fully searched, no record has been
found in them of man who has been
rescued from death after his heart had
been perforated by BALM. y.

AMMUNITION SUPPLY.
A Question Which Is of Vital ImpOr-
lance When the Nation Is In
vOlved in War.

The question of getting sufficient
supply of ammunition to the guns,
whether in the field or on broadside of
the ship or in her turret, is perhaps
the most difficult of all tasks set the
ordnance engineer. Not only must the
ammunition be moved rapidly, but it
must be moved safely and securely,
and the bringing up from the bottom
of the ship to her very top, that Is,
carrying through the 80 feet be-
tween her magazines and her turrets,
a couple of rounds consisting each OF
a 1.0o0-pound shot, and about 300
pounds of powder, in each minute, is
not easy to arrange for. says the En-
gineering Magazine.
On land, the supply of ammunition
tempted by means of dogs, to that
of the Pinch rifles in the coast forth
fcations, constitutes also most diff
fcult task. Indeed, as every 6-inch
gun and guns of smaller size may be
fired effectively several times a min.
ute, and as each Pinch turret or bar,
bette gun may be fired once in a min
ute or in a minute and a half, we may
affirm, without fear of contradiction.
that the guns are better arranged than
are the methods of supplying them
with ammunition; for no ship would
bring her ammunition up as fast as
is indicated.
Obviously there is no use in putting
complicated arrangements leading to
quick firing On the guns, unless the
ammunitionc can be brought to the gun
fast enough, nor is there any use in
putting into the hands of the soldier
on the skirmish line a magazine rifle,
from which he could fire away all the
ammunition which he himself could
carry in a very short space of time,
unless his ammunition supply can be
replenished, and unless he can be
taught to use to advantage the am
munition he has. Still, these diff
fculties of ammunition supply must
be overcome, for if one contestant can
fire more rapidly than the other he
will have determining dvantage, and
therefore both will endeavor to be
capable of firing as rapidly as may be,
and if either side is caught without
ammunition, so much the worse for it.

PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL.

A Berlin periodical, Der Weinken-
ner. relates that when Bismarck
died, abo3.t 10000 bottles of the
choicest vines were found in his cell
lars, mostly gifts from friends and
admirers. They came from all coun-
tries.
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, never
drinks water when speaking in pub
lie. Before he begins his address he
puts a specially prepared pellet of
potash under his tongue and this
keeps him from becoming hoarse.
The senator declares that for Is
years he has never touched water
when speaking.
Rev. Charles NJ. Gross, rector of
Emmanuel Protestant Episcopal
church, Ansonia, Conn.,, believes in
fighting fire on earth as well as else
where. He is member of the local
fire department, and on a recent oc-
casiop at a particularly fierce factory
blaze stood up to the roaring flames,
nozzle in hand, with pluck which
commanded the cheers and unstinted
praise of all who saw him. While so
engaged he inhaled quantities of
smoke and was dragged away just as
he was about to collapse.
Gentlemen" recently said a Ger
man professor who was showing to
his students the patients in the asy-
lum, "this man suffers from delirium
tremens. He is musician. 1t is
well known that blowing brass in
strument affects the lungs and the
throat in such way as to create a
great thirst, which has to be allayed
by persistent indulgence in strong
drink. Hence, in course of time, the
disease you have before you" Turn
ing to the patient, the professor
asked: 'What instrument do you
blow?' and the answer was: ''The
violoncello."
Doc Brown, of Morgansfield, KY.
who represents his district in the

never give woman anything she
can't eat and never make love to her
out of an ink bottle. Why, when ]
courted my wife 1 just grabbed hold

PATENT RIGHTS IN FAR EAST.
The Status of Inventors ~ Regarded
by the Governments of the Occi-
dental Countries.

Nothing better illustrates the differ
ence between occidental and oriental
civilization than the manner in which
inventions are regarded by the respec-
tive governments, says the New York
Post.
In the west the inventor is honored
and his invention is protected by let
tiers patent, copyrights and trade
marks, while no attention is bestowed
upon, those who are thrown out OF
employment through the invention
itself. In the far east the inventor is
regarded as mere artisan; there are
no patents to protect or reward him,
and the laborer is protected by the
authorities against any and all things
which tend to injure his calling.
ut is this attitude of the governing
classes" said an exporter, (which puz-
zles merchant and which threatens
serious consequences in the industrial
and commercial world before many
years have passed by. Even at the
present time it works injustice from
western point of view. Thus on one
occasion large house sent a consign-
men: CT fine lamps to Japan. They
were the latest design and were pro-
tected by letters patent. They sold
promptly in Yokohama and the agent
wrote home for a larger invoice. When
these arrived not one could be sold.
The puzzled agent made inquiry and
found that the first lot had been pur-
chased by manufacturers, who inn
mediately initiated them and put the
limitations on the market at less than
half the price for which the originals
could be Sold"
A similar experience was had by a
concern which exported hand-sewing
machines to Japan and China. With
the exception of goods whose making
requires expensive and complicated
machinery, it does not pay to export
anything on a large scale to the far
east which can be inflated by the,
clever artisans in that part of tn.
world. 1t is to be hoped that Japan
and China will enjoin the International
Copyright league and enact broad pat
ent laws. Until this is done the foreign
merchant is defenseless.
