A very sensible feature of the dress
Of the school miss is the wash waist
and wash guimpe. The heavy cottons
are good and warm, and lighter weight
linens can be worn all winter over a
longsleeved corset cover. Like their
mothers, the waists for older girls are
somewhat on the tailored order, but
few have frills, fashion put forth by
London tailors.
The favorite outdoor costume for
young girls for common wear is the
long-coat suit of heavy wool; of serge,
cheviot, fancy weave, or mayhap broad
cloth. For dressy wear perhaps the
young lady will consider she must have
a short coat suit. Desirable separate
coats are of sevep-eighths length, but
the short coat continues in favor for
the more elaborate street costume.
There is much buying of separate
skirts for the school girl, and these are
made very plain, wholly untrimmed.
The same materials are employed as
used in the suits. Mohair waists prom
lse to be very popular, and there are
exquisite ones of white on display. Mo-

An attractive little frock for best is

There is narrow, plain panel at the

With variety in the chemisettes this

many occasions.
The right kind of schoolgirl does not
care to bother much about clothes,
wants something she can throw on
without waste of time; and the allen

For the girl at the awkward age"
anywhere from II to II, the makers of
children's clothes are now preparing
waists that have flexible featherbone
in the under-arm seams. This does
not at all interfere with freedom of
movement, and transforms shapeless
blouse into one with suggestion of
graceful curve. Both big girls and lit
tie girls will wear the guimpe, clean

half their numbers and crawled up as
close as they could to where we lay,

of the Cumberland during the war
of the rebellion and with the Twenti-

some as hard fighting as was done
on the Atlanta campaign, being in %
battles among them Burnt Hickory,
Resaca and Peach Tree Creek.
The Indians soon shot our horses
down, and we went to digging bitches
in the sand for cover. Before we got
under cover Lieut.. Beecher and four
men were killed. DR.. Moore, our sur
geon, and two men were mortally
wounded, and Col. Forsythe and eight
men were severely wounded, and a
good many had slight wounds. The
Indians kept up their fire for two or
three hours, then 500 or 600 of them
formed down the creek in eight or
nine lines deep and prepared to charge
us. 1t was a solid mass, filing the
creek bed, which was about 12O feet
from bank to bank Col. Forsythe
had himself propped up so he could see
what they were doing. He told the
boys that we had to break that charge;
that they must not fire until he gave
the word, and then they must fire
by yolleys and make every shot
count; that it was our only salvation
that we must get our revolvers out,
and if they got among us we must
every man fight to the last. In the
meantime we had to watch the sharp
shooters, who lay all around us, many
OF them within 25 yards.

and roller towel on the back porch
sufficed for the family's ablutions.

it.
was only little puppy and had
only known him for three weeks, but
in that short space of time we had
grown to be the best of friends.
My life until he had appeared on the
scene had been quiet one. l was
one of a litter of five, all of noble
blood. Dandy Jim was my fathers
name, and my mother was registered
on the books of the Kennel club as
Queen Alice, and was the proud pos
SCISSOR of numerous blue ribbons
which adorned the walls of our den.
One day when was eight weeks old
the master of the kennels brought as
visitor a splendid looking young man
who played with us young 'uns and
spoke flattering words to my mother.
After numerous questions as to our
ages and pedigrees he extracted five
crisp ten dollar notes from his wallet,
handed them to the kennel master,
took me l.. his arms and marched out,
and that was the last l ever saw of
my little brothers and sisters, although
for some years afterward l was al
lowed to call on my parents.
My master, whose first name was
Frank, took me to live in mansion.
l was given a kennel all to myself
and was frequently brought into the
house to show off when my masters
family was honored with fashionable
guests.
One morning was tucked under my
masters arm and taken to a splendid
Office downtown, where l was allowed
the freedom of the suite until late in
the afternoon. Then Frank pulled
down the lid of his desk, picked me
up and said: well, little chap,
guess we're both hungry, so We'll try
little cafe that the boys have been
talking SO much about lately"
We passed through crowded streets
that were all new to me, under an i'm

FoRSYTHE's BRAVE STAND.
The Story of the Siege of Beecher's
Island by the Indians
in 1868.

In July, 1868, the Indians made a
raid on the settlements of the Saline
and Solomon rivers, in Kansas. They
murdered many settlers and their
families, and burned and destroyed
their improvements and took two
young women prisoners. Troops were
rushed in and the Indians driven out
after three or four days skirmishing
There were about 1000 warriors en-
gagged in the raid, composed of north
ern Arapahoes, Cheyennes and Sioux
At the time Gen. Sheridan was in
command of the military department
of the Missouri, explains the writer
in the National Tribune. He stationed
several companies of cavalry at differ
ent points on the frontier to protect
the settlers, and authorized Brevet
Brig. Gen. George A. Forsythe, of his
staff, and Lieut.. Beecher (nephew of
Henry Ward Beecher) to raise com
pany of 80 experienced frontiersmen
and Indian fighters for the purpoAe
OF scouting and watching the Indians,
especially in the upper Republican
valley. The company of scouts was
organized in August. In the forepart
of September, while on the Republican,
they discovered a large Indian camp
trail which they followed for several
days. On the evening of September
16 they camped in little valley on
the north side of the Arickaree Fork
of the Republican. On the morning of
the 18th they were attacked by large
body of Indians, estimated at not less
than 1,500 warriors. They took refuge
on a small island in the center of the
dry bed of the stream, and for two
hours the Indians made charge after
charge, often riding up to within ten
feet of the scouts, but were driven
off every time by the scouts, who
armed with Spencer carbines and two
army revolvers each, poured most
destructive fire into them, killing and
wounding large numbers.
After the Indians found they could
not break the lines of the scouts, who
lay hid in the tall bluestem grass and
behind little punches of cottonwood
bushes, with their horses tied to the

This is 93.23 per cent of all children
