CIVILIANS AND TRANSPORTS.



1t is reported from Washington that
the war department is renewing It's
efforts to restrict the use of the trans
ports TO officers and soldiers OF the
army. Similar reports have reached
us before. They make periodic ap-
pearances. but the transports continue
to be filled with civilians, junketing
political personages and the sisters.
the cousins and the aunts of officers
and men, not to mention their wives,
children and servants, while the young
subalterns continue to be thrust into
the cramped quarters 'tween-deck-to
accommodate persons who never wear
epaulettes or shoulder muskets.
The war department has not yet had
the hardihood to deny openly that fam
lies OF officers are entitled to free
transportation across the seas, but II
tries to limit the size OF the families,
not infrequently with amusing results.
Not many months ago an infantry cap
tain applied for transportation for his
wife, two sisters and children. The
allowance OF sisters was cut down ono
half, only one being given accommods-
lions. However, he managed to ring
IN the rejected sister as the nurse to
his child. This shrewd solution of the
problem looked lovely and everybody
was happy until on arriving on board
the transport II was found that, while
the wife and other sister were given
cabin staterooms the nurse sister was
assigned to the steerage quarters with
the wives OF enlisted men. Horriblel
The roar that arose was heard way up
Folsom street Tho throats OF both
sexes wero taxed 10 express their hor-
ror and indignation. The quartermas-
ter captain was at once summoned and
a lively protest made. or course. the
story came out then and the fact that
the alleged nurse was really a brother
guiss was impressed upon the perplex-
cd qusrtermaster captain, who for
time took refuge in a quiet stateroom
to think out the situation. 1t was
finally patched up in some way and
both sisters taken to Manila. but the
nurse trick was not attempted again
by that family. although 1t has been
successfully worked at other times.
Another oficer with a wife and two
sisters had less fortunate experience
only few days ago. He had been or
dered to the Philippines on special
duty. His application for his wife and
two sisters to accompany him was
frownsd upon. He thereupon wrote
to the authorities, saying that his posi-
ton, being on special duty, was not
akin to that OF those proceeding under
routine orders or routine duties. Hs
was In class by himself, etc. Back
from Washington came a telegram just
before the vessel sailed giving author
lily for the two sisters to accompany
the officer, but directing that the wife
would have to be left behindl-San

The long line Of bidarkas circles 81

peeps up. Again the shout greets It'll

TALE OF LOVE AND WAR.

Indian Tradition Regarding EARLY
Days In Territory.
over In the Cherokee nation, where
the postoffice OF Black Gum now
stands, are thirteen black gum trees,
that stand in lonely silence like senti-
nefs at vigil In the sweeping prairie.
There is an interesting legend concern
Ing this group of trees, says the Kar-
sas City Star.
Back in the early days, when there
was little civilization among the tribes.
there was band OF Otoe Indians who
went on from their homes In the terri
tory far up on the plains OF Kansas
to hunt buffalo. They remained on the
trail for weeks. 1t finally was discov-
cred by the Kansas tribe OF Indians
that the Otoes were intruding on their
hunting grounds. That meant an i'm
mediate declaration Of war, though the
two tribes had hitherto been on friend
ly terms. The daughter OF the chief
Of the Kansas Indians was the sweet
heart OF the young chief who led the
band Of hunters.
Weeks OF warfare followed the out.
break between the tribes. The Otoes
were outnumbered and were not pre-
pared for war, but when they found
they had to fight there was no hest
tating. Day after day they fought and
retreated, losing more of their men.
This continued until the brave little
band was driven into the Cherokee
nation. near where the black gum trees
now stand. There were just a dozen
hunters left. They took their last
stand in a swale In the prairie and
over its brow poured their fire into the
Kansas Indians. But It was an I'M
equal fight and the result was certain.
The daughter Of the chief came out
to Join her tribesmen. When she look
ed at the foe she saw her sweetheart
fighting alone. His comrades were all
slain. Without a word she sprang for
ward and ran with open arms to him
amid a shower OF arrows. She reached
him and threw her arms about his
neck, but 1t was too late. An arrow
from her own tribe pierced her body
and entered the heart OF the young
chief that she would protect. They
died together
Graves were dug there on the brow
of the swale and the thirteen Indiar
bodies, including that OF the girl, were
hurled. Half century passed and
thirteen black gum trees grew up or
the very spot where the Indian graves
had been made. Two OF these trees
have their limbs intertwined In an in.
separable form. To this day when an
Indian OF the old school passes by, one
in whose mind traditions still are a
potent element. he pauses and looks
at the thirteen sentinels OF this fata
ground with an awe that betokens hi:
belief that there is some connection
between the massacre OF the thirteen
Indians on that spot, the thirteen
black gums standing there and the

AN APTITUDE FOR BUSINESS.
One Woman who Learned Too Much
About II TO suit Her Tutor.

Ohs w omhn w no hChFnC0 lOO NJ hth
About II to suit Her Tutor.
In his secret soul the man had a
longing. He wished his wife could I'M
derstand business. He tried to teach
her. He told her all about steel and
insurance and government bonds. The
woman listened patiently, but she new
err learned anything. At last the man
got desperate, says the New York Her
aid.
There is only one way to make her
understand" he said. II must arouse
her jealousy. l will talk business to
some other woman, and then Sallie
will put her mind on It."
About that time Sallie's friend, Ellz-
abeth, paid her a visit. Elizabeth was
a college graduate. She had any num-
Der OF degrees, and could see right
through the toughest problem that was
ever propounded. The man saw his
opportunity. He told Elizabeth all
about steel and insurance and govern
ment bonds. He talked with one eye
on Elizabeth and the other on Sallie,
hoping to detect in his wife's face the
latent fame Of the jealousy he had
expected to kindle. But 1t never ap-
peared. Sallie didn't get jealous worth
a cent. She only said:
II am so glad. dear. that Elizabeth
is here. 1t gives you a chance to talk
with somebody who has sense enough
to understand what you say"
But the man was not discouraged.
There was one matter In which he was
particularly interested just then. He
had been appraised OF a prospective va
cancy in railroad Office, and, with
the aid Of little pull he hoped to get
the position. With the exception Of his
own aspirations, the man explained the
situation to Elizabeth and she, with
her acute intellect. grasped 1t with
amazing quickness. The vacancy final
Iy occurred and was Immediately filled.
The man did not win out. He went
home that night blue and out OF sorts.
Sallie was smiling and happy.
"Just guess what has happened TO
Elizabeth" she said. "She has a posi-
ton. 1t Is a splendid position, too. The
managers say they never employed a
woman In that capacity before. but
that Elizabeth has such a wonderful
mind and shows such a perfect compre-
hension OF the duties that they are
anxious to give her trial. She is
very grateful to you. She says she
owes 1t all to your faithful coach
Ing"
The man did not care a rap for Eliz-
abeth just then. but he asked with
perfunctory politeness, What nrm is
she within"
''I'he X. Y. 2. railroad" said SallIe.
"She got that position you have been
talking 80 much about"
Heaven above" groaned the man,
that is the last time will ever talk
business 10 woman"
