Wisconsin Topography.

The United States geographical sur
vey has recently reissued, in it's series
of topographic atlas sheets, the Wa
tertown, Wis, sheet. This map covers
a rectangular section approximately 13
by 171a miles, lying mostly in Jeffer-
son county, which shows the city of
Watertown and the surrounding region
on the east and south. All the roads
and boundaries appear and the relief
and altitude above sea level are ;ndi-
Gated by the use of contour lines. An
interesting feature Of the map is the
clearness with which the large areas
of marsh land existing in the region
are shown, and the peculiar longitu-
dinal trend of the hill features, pre-
sumably the result of glaciation. The
map may be had for cents on apDH-
cation to the director of the United
States geological survey.

Nature Points the WAY.

A community should develop on the
line OF least should do the
things that nature intended it to do.
WaukeSha has made q success of pure
water; Kalamazoo Of celery; Oshkosh
does number of things besides MAX
ing burial caskets, and Madison with
pretty lakes to look upon, with 1900
students to look after, and Legislature
to look out for, has her destiny marked

Easy to Manufacture in Small Cities.
Conditions favor increased manufact-
uring in the smaller cities. It is no
longer true that only III the great cit
les are all elements present for the
setting up process of manufacture;
rather the telephone to the factories,
quick transportation, ETC., have made
this concentration of factories unnec-
essary. In the smaller cities all the diff
ficulties are minimized. Low priced
homes for workingmen are possible.
With Chicago's wonderful growth.

cast that what New England was in

gers" has been inspired by the roaring command of ''Old Dad'-"Go in, boys! Go in!'-while he himself, riding like a centaur led the charge far in advance of the advancing column.
 Even his presence is inspiring In many a hot skirmish, when the men have become tired and scattered, his tremendous voice, believing in the dis tance, has had the effect of trumpet call or the arrival of a regiment of re- Inducements.
 Brace up, boys, the call will go across the scattered lines 'here comes Old Dad'" and then rushes into the fight the big bay horse topped by the big, fierce man with his black beard, and all is over but the shouting.
 Enlisted men returned from service in the islands tell all sorts of little stories of General Wheaton. For instance, there was the night after the landing at San Fabian. Six gunboats had gone down the coast to cover the landing of a lot of men under General Wheaton, who were loaded on couple of army transports. While the gunboats sheled the town Wheaton got his men into launches and other small boats and waited for the first chance to get ashore. Once or twice his eagerness led him to push ahead within range of the gungoats fire, and each time he had to face about and retire, much to the amusement of the men bobbing about on the swell in their little boats. Fi- nally the party landed, under hot fire from the insurgents, and rushed the town. After pickets had been thrown out and all arrangements made for guarding against a night attack, Gene ral Wheaton started to turn in, with the idea of catching few hours sleep. He and his orderly went into a native house on the square and opened the door leading into the corner room. As they did so couple of privates who had already laid down to sleep on the floor rose sleepily, came to attention, and started to leave the room.
 Here you!' roared "Old Dad,' in his terrifying voice, you need sleep just as much as I do. Lie down again and go to sleep"
 So the commanding general and couple of privates went to sleep side by side on the floor. But early in the morning, before any one else was awake, General Wheaton got up and went out all alone on a accommodating tour. He closed the door, and it locked

"OLD DAD"
Why His Soldiers Love General Lloyd

Why His Soldiers Love General Lloyd
 Wheaton.
 General Lloyd Wheaton, whose frank ness in expressing his opinions has stirred up number of senatorial crit ics. will not lack for defenders. Prac- tically without exception the men who have served under him, whom they fondly call "Dad" Wheaton, would fight for him to the last ditch against any odds.
 Even among the general officers of the United States army. including so many men of dauntIess courage and splendid character, there are few who rank with Wheaton in personal popularity among the enlisted men. In appearance he is the ideal soldier, tall and straight as a pine tree. His thick hair is jet black and the lower part Of his face IS coV- cred with black beard, set off by a pair of long and fiercely pointed black mustaches On horseback especially he looks the part of a pirate king, and his voice is deep bass of tremendous power that can be heard at great dis tances
 It is a favorite joke with the soldiers in the islands that "O1d Dad" needs no staff, because he can make himself heard half a mile without straining himself Most endearing of all, from the standpoint of the common soldier General Wheaton never spares himself and many a little outpost, hard pressed by an overpoWering force of the mig

THE CoMANcHE PONY sMoKE.'
An Indian Tribes Annual Distribution
 of Brides

An Indian Tribes Annual Distribution of Brides
 The annual distribution of Comanche Indian brides has just occurred at the Saddle Mountain mission in southern Oklahoma. Fifty of the prettiest wo- men of the tribe were sold at public auction as the wives of tribesmen who bid them in This barbaric custom was to have been discontinued by the Co., manches last year, but it went on more boldly than ever this season, being con- ducted under the very eyes of the white settlers. The festival of the Comanche "pony smoke" as this ceremony is call ed, is of more than passing interest. Seldom are so many young squaWs aue- toned off as was done this year, but the surplus was great and needed thinning out, according to the head men of the tribe. Their parents, refusing to keep them any longer, the girls naturally needed homes somewhere, and it was deemed best by the medicine men to auction them off as wives, the highest bidders to take their choice. Big Bow, a monstrous fat and ugly redskin, acted as the auctioneer. He was assisted by number of medicine men, who per formed the marriage ceremonies after the sales had been made.
 Five hundred Indians gathered at the Saddle Mountain mission last week. This mission is located thirty miles di- rectly south of Mountain View and on the range of the Wichita mountains. The girls who were sold had been con- fined in lodge for three weeks prior to the meeting. and were well fed and eX- tremely we'll groomed. They were all clad in gay colors, and their hair ar ranged in perfect Indian fashion. It was plain to see that their parents had prepared them to bring fancy prices. The girls were in various moods; some hysterical. others calm and not a few delighted with the experience.
 Among others was a daughter of the famous Quahnah Parker, the noted Co., manche Indian chief Tbs daughter. whose name is Amy had displeased him by attempting to run away and marry a white man, and cowboy at that, so Parker decided that he best thing

behind him with a spring lock.
 Several times during the night strag- glers had come pounding on the door, and had been ordered away by the somewhat sulphurc orderly. It hap pened that the orderly had just got into sound sleep when the general re- turned and knocked for admission. The orderly, who had no idea that General Wheaton had gone out, woke up hot and angry.
 With all the resources of his pictur- esque vocabulary he cursed the man who had disturbed him and ordered him to go away under awful penalties Now, you clear out of here and let us sleep, or I'll come out and kick your head off" he roared.
 All right. Sergeant" sounded the deep voice of "Old Dad" "all right. I'll clear out. But won't you please let me have my field glasses rst?"-Chicago Tribune.

would be to sell her at auction. This is the first time that Parker, who is counted by his white neighbors high ly cultivated red man, has ever allow ed any of his relatives to be sacrificed at the auction block. But then the wrath of an Indian parent knows no bounds.
 Sad and silent, Amy Parker was led to the block for sale. The first bid was eleven ponies. Jack Wild Horse, a well known scout of the tribe, was the bid der. He was immediately raised by a rival, likewise a scout. This latter claimant bid fifteen. Others than cut in and Miss Parker was run up to fifty ponies. Her face grew pale when she saw that Wild Horse was determined to get her, as he is known as the most desperate savage on the reservation when drunk and angered It is said that he has killed three wives when drunk.
 Wild Horse, however, won the young squaw for sixty three ponies The stock was turned over to Parker and med icine man married Wild Horse and the squaw according to the Comanche rites. The couple then went to Fl Reno, where a regular marriage license was issued to them and the ceremony repeated by a palefaee minister. Although the mar riage took place only three days ago, a dispa tch from Lawton says that she at tempted to commit suicide after she had failed in an attempt to kill her new husband.
 Other young women objected quite as strongly as Miss Parker did to being auctioned off, but it did them no good whatever Big Bow went ahead with the sale until every one of them was sold, The lowest bid made for any of them was twenty ponies. This was the price paid for a halfbreed woman who had been married to white man, put the latter having died, she reverted back to her parents again
 In all over 1.5O0 ponies changed hands in the three days of the big bridal auc- tion. Not for many years have the squaws commanded such spirited bid ding and big prices as in this latest event of it's kind among the Comanches Chicago Inter-Ocean.
