regarded with reverence by their peo-
pie and as In order to become a NOLAN
man must be well read, the humble
neighbors ridiculed the pretensions of
the aggressive wife OF the plodding
shepherd. But the woman eventually
won her way. Having inherited small
legacy, she sent her boy to the city,
where the lads natural intelligence
brought rapid advancement IN his stud

men. and within a few years OF the
time of his leaving the shepherds cot
he was one OF the most honored men or
his nation.
Still nothing occurred to make him an
international character until he raised
about 1000 men and, shouting Down

into the British and Italian possessions,
At first II was decided that 1t would be
better to ignore the raids except to the
extent of Cautlonlng the Mad Mollah. as
he had come to be called that II must
not occur again. That plan proved a
woeful failure, for the mollah, losing
no opportunity to spread broadcast the
news of his successes, soon had a much
larger force at his command He was
then bold enough to undertake to fight
his way to the coast In order to estab-
llsh caravan lines as preliminary to
securing an ocean opening for the prod
ucts Of the tribes which through fear
or natural sympathy had allied them
selves with him. England finally woke
up and after a good deal of trouble sue
ceeded last spring In cornering the mol
lah. They killed many Of his men and,
what was more serious TO him, took
away thousands of his sheep and cattle,

confirm his claim. The English. on the
other hand, contend that, mad or sane,
the molah is shrewd enough not to put

gossip Of Washington.
The fact that the head Of the army
has so frequently come from private
life, while not agreeable to the gradu-
ates Of West Point, Is undoubtedly
pleasing TO the average citizen. General
Young's career interesting Of itself, Is
made doubly so by reason of the proba-
billty that after the men now in sight
as his successors shall have given way
to General Bell II will probably be a
long time before any other ex-clviian

Of the army.
Young was born In Pttsburg in jan
uary, 1910, He received just about such
an education as Is given to the average
youth whose parents are in moderately
prosperous circumstances. When the
war broke out, young Young was at
tackled with as bad a case of military
fever as ever fell to the lot of strong,
husky youth passonately fond of out
door life. The outcome was inevitable.
In April, 1851, he enlisted in Company
X, Twelfth Pennsylvania volunteers.
Private Young was an excellent horse
man, and In consequence OF that ac-
qulrement his connection with Com
pany X was exceedingly brief He was
appointed Sept 6. 1861, captain Of the
Fourth Pennsylvania cavalry. From
that day to this he has been noted as
one Of the best and most daring horse
men in the army, his experience in the
saddle standing him in good stead later
on in the campaigns against the In
dams.
Captain Young proved TO be gal
liant as well as dashing officer of cav

g 1883, when he became major Of the
Third cavalry. In 1892 he was promot-

nous Fourth cavalry.
During his civil war experience the
young officer had not escaped I'M

Springs, Va, while engaged in cavalry
operations he was wounded and

was VIGOROUSLY reckless In exposing
himself, and no one expressed surprise
when told that Young is wounded
again" His injuries at the battles Of
Hatcher's Run, Va, and Sailors Creek
were slight.

was obtained in the campaigns against

was sent to the Philippines in July 1899,
and served there until March, 1901,
