John Mitchell, ex-sergeant of the
army, scout and Indian fighter of the
early days of Custer, Wade and Miles,
takes care of the guns in the armory
over at the University of California.
To the chosen few whom he delights
to honor he recounts stories of the
plains which should find their way
into book some day. The other day
he grew reminiscent.

was still an enlisted man and was
with my regiment out in Wyoming,
where the Sioux were keeping every
body on the jump. There were fifteen
OF us, under a sergeant by the name
of Brannigan, and we had been away
from the post on a little scouting ex-
petition and were returning when
this incident happened.
I'VE had been riding hard all day
without anything to eat, for we were
only fifteen, you know, and in that
case a man don't stop to take any

station called Cedar Creek just as
night came on, thinking to spend the
night there. We found about $50

A Pullman Automobile.

An automobile, costing $4,000 and
equipped with an engine of 30S horse
power, said to be the largest auto
mobile in the world, has just been
built for Louis d. Schoenberg Of
Cleveland. In its appointments 1t is
probably the finest automobile in the
world, the interior of it's Pullman body
being made of mahogany and uphol-
stored in leather. There arc sleeping

heated by electricity furnished by a
seven-horsepower dynamo on board.
There are also dining room and
kitchen and cupboards.

Among men and women who have
won name and fame in professional
life quite a number are to be found
who believe in the supernatural pow
er of some curious talisman which
they possess. Sarasate, the famous
Spanish violinist, for instance. would
not dream of playing at a concert un-
less he carried somewhere about his
person a tiny replica in silver Of the
famous Guarnerius violin on which
Paganini used to play.
Paderewski, the famous pianist,
also possesses a mascot which is
always with him in the shape of a
ring once worn by his first wife. Most
people are doubtless aware of the sad
story of Paderewski's first marriage.
how his wife died in giving birth to
son just as the pianist was on the
threshold of success, and how the
world would probably never have
heard of him had not the necessity of
providing for his son compelled the
musician to continue his professional
career. PaderewsH does not wear
the ring on his finger. 1t rests in a
tiny pocket inside his waistcoat and
is attached to fine gold chain which
encircles the pianist's neck.

All Have Their MaScOtS

From the musical profession TO the
race course is rather a far cry, but 1t
may not be out of place to mention
here the curious luck-bringer carried
by Sam Loates, the famous jockey. II
consists of an ordinary smoked pearl
button, without which he never rides
race. This pearl button saved the
life of Mr.. Loates when he was
child by catching in the upholstery of
a railway carriage door which had
not been properly fastened, and thus
preventing him railing on to the line.
Since then the jockey has come to
believe that the button has AN iDfiu-
ence for good over all his fortunes.
Quite a number of our leading
actresses firmly believe that their
success in a piece depends to q Ger.
tain extent on peculiar mascots which
they invariably carry. Miss Violet
Vanbrugh always wears a long chain
of uncut turquoises on the stage.
while Mrs. Langtry never feels COM

quoise on which a Persian love letter
