"A RAe-TAe ARMY.
The Soldiers of Colombia Exact More
Merriment Than Fear. 80. Z

Merriment Than Fear.
A Brooklyn man who spent some
time in Columbia few years ago tells
me stories about the army of that
country which make me feel almost
sure that, even if the Columbians set
out to lick us, they may not succeed
in doing it. One of his experiences
runs somewhat as follows: He and a
small party of resident Americans had
been registering at an inn little way
outside of one of the cities and were
returning to town at wee hour of
the night in two carriages The coun-
try at that time was involved in one
of those everlasting broils which they
dignity down there by the name Of war
and the streets of the city were pa
troled by what passed for provost
guards. As the two carriages entered
the town they were stopped by a lieu
tenant dressed in a suit of calico paja-
mas shattered over with tinsel trim
mings until he looked like a comic
opera character. Behind the lieuten-
ant stood five soldiers in all degrees
of undress from pair of overalls
(and nothing else), which one of them
wore, to long-tailed shirt, which con-
stituted the entire apparel of another.
Every soldier was barefoot, and all
but one-a very old man@were boys.
One of them could not have been more
than 10 years old. These soldiers, who
stood higgledy-piggledy, without even
an attempt at formation, were various
ly armed. The old man carried a long
handled pike, or rather it carried him,
since he used it as a staff to lean upon;
two of the boys carried swords of more
or less ancient pattern; another, a
heavy club; and the little fellow, an
old-fashioned musket, SO long and so
heavy that the widest imagination
could not picture him holding it TO
his shoulder while he could take aim
The lieutenant in command of this
comic valentine squad was so swollen
with the dignity of his position that
for some time he would not listen to
a word of explanation, but insisted on
marching the occupants of the carriag-
CO OA W lu6 VI IAO Silys
Thereupon one of the resident Ameri-
cans leaped to the ground, snatched the
lieutenant's sword from him and
threatened to run him through If he
did not shut up and let them do lit
tie of the talking. The American
then drew an old letter-any old let
ter-from his pocket, saying:
"Read that, you internal numbskull,
and you'll see it is pass from the
commanding general, permitting us to
go where we please"
The lieutenant made a bluff at read
ing the letter. and then, with a pro-
found bow, apologized for stopping
the party.
II think" said the American, 81 will
march you to headquarters and have
you reduced to the ranks"
But the lieutenant begged so humbly
that he and his squad were permitted
to go their way.
On the whole, feel a good deal
easier since hearing this story and
others concerning the Columbian army.
I think we can go to sleep O. nights
without fear that Bogota will be the
capital of the United States Of Ameri-
ca before morning Brooks in
the Brooklyn Eagle.

A curious fact in the psychology of
cows, says Everybody's Magazine, is
communicated to the world by the
staff of the Technical college at
Chelmsford, England. Cow study has
taught these experts that the cow is
full of nervous sensibility and given
to likes and dislikes. To sympa-
thetic mixer. who is in harmony with
her. she will yie.d much more milk
than to a brutal, stolid or unsympa-
thetic mixer For instance, one
Chelmsford milky mother Of herds
gave her fayorite mixer nineteen
pounds OF milk while to b less agree
able or intelligent hand she afforded
only fifteen. Our farmers do not give
time enough to cow psychology. The
more psychology. the more milk.
