YOUNG COLONEL IN DILEMMA
Ways of War Were New Thing to
His Understanding.

At the Army and Navy club in
Washington number of veteran Off
GERS were telling stories, when Gen.
Chaffee told this anecdote of Gen.
Carr, who died in New York some
years ago:
1t appears that Gen. Carr, at the
outbreak of the civil war, had left
Troy to take command of regiment.
The engagement in which, as colonel,
he first figured was at Big Bethel. His
regiment had been halted for rest
and refreshment in pleasant place
and had not yet experienced the ex-
citement of skirmish. 1t happened
however, that confederates were in
ambush in the immediate neighbor-
hood and from a safe hiding place
they opened fire on the northerners.
Carr, so the story runs, instantly put
spurs to his horse and dashed up to
a group of officers. Excitement and
bewilderment were apparent upon his
young face as he approached the
party.
"They are firing upon my regi-
lnenti" he shouted. My God! Now
what is to be done?"-Harper's
Weekly.

THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY.

In the opinion of one who has tray
eled much and observed closely. the
most truly and rightfully contented
people in the United States to-day are
the small landowners in what is
known as the Upper White River Coun-
try, anywhere from Newport, Ark, to
Carthage, Mo. They are contented be-
cause their surroundings are ideal and.
until recently, the great, uneasy, dis
quieting world, with it's artificial needs
and inadequate compensations, has
been to them but little more tangible
than a dream. Here, still existent,
and by reason of their very rarity at
this day and time more delectable
than in the past, are the conditions
which have ever appealed with ire
sistible force to the independent-spir-
tied Anglo-Saxon. Every man is the
supreme ruler Of his own little prin-
cipality; acknowledging no master
save the law-and possibly his FEM
mime helpmeet; cringing to no en-
ployer; asking no favors from the
world, save those that his neighbors
freely extend and expect as freely in

the extremes of heat or cold are never
known. and at an altitude that insures
perfect health. The richest bounty
of Nature has been showered upon
him with unsparing hand, but it is a
question whether he more than dimly
realizes the fact. He accepts as a mat
ter of course the fertile soil which
produces in abundance every cultiv-
able growth common to the north
temperate zone, the surrounding for
ests of valuable woods and the under
lying stratas of precious minerals, the
springs and streams of translucent
purity on every hand, the wealth of
fish and game at his very door, such as
less favored mortals annually travel
hundreds of miles to find. He is con-
tented, but small credit is his for that,
for how could he well be otherwise
than content? 1t is sad that such
idealistic conditions may not con-
tinue, but it is written that the pres
ent possessors of this favored land
must soon give place to others more
appreciative of its Incompatible fea-
lures. A railroad has recently cut it's
way through the best of this region,
and the unaccustomed rustic of bank
notes and chink of coin will eventually
tempt the hill-dweller to part with his
birthright. So it has always been in
the worlds history-the good things
that are ours without price invariably
pass from our hands before we come
to understand their value. The White
River country will shortly be discov-
cred anew by class of immigrants
better capable of judging it's POSSIBLE
ities-the men who seek modest
homes where the LAY of the land
will effectually prevent crowding by
200 close neighbors, where their cat
Tie can fatten on free range, where
the wealth of forest and mine awaits
development by intelligent workers,
and where the game and fish offer en-
joyable recreation to all who have
leisure and inclination for sporss.

Immense Leaves of Palm.

The palm family bears longer
leaves than any other known tree.
The 1naga palm, growing on the
banks of the Amazon, has leaves
which reach from 35 to so feet in
length, and 10 to II feet in breadth.
Specimens of the talepot palm, ma
tive of Ceylon, has been met with 20
feet long and Is feet broad. These
leaves are used by the natives to
make tents, and, thus employed, they
make very efficient shelters from rain.
The leaves of the double cocoanut
palm are often 80 feet long and sew
eral wide. The leaves of the canni.
bal tree of Australia resemble broad
planks and are frequently Is feet
long, 20 inches broad and ~ feet
thick at the base. These boardlike
leaves all shoot out at the top and
hang down so as to form a sort of
umbrella around the stem. The UNI
brella tree of Ceylon has leaves of
such enormous size that single one
will cover from Is to 20 men, and
often serves as canopy to a boat,
or a tent for soldiers. A specimen
leaf taken to England measured Sc
feet round.

WILL TAKE THREE YEARS.

Guthrie. o. T., Aug. 27.-The Usage
allotting commission has mapped out
its course and the actual work of max
ing selections will begin shortly. 1t
is estimated that the com mission has
at least three years work ahead of
it.
The Indians are now making their
first selections of land. For this they
have three months from the passage
of the act, or until September 2S.
The next task of the commission will
be to organize surveying parties to
check up these selections. The Indian
agent makes selections for minors
and delinquent adults. After these
are all checked up the second selec-
ton will be made and the Indians
given three months in which to make
these selections. The same checking
process will follow, and then the third
selection will be made. 1t will, there
fore. require over year to finish the
selections of allotments.
After this work is completed the
commission will have to divide the
surplus lands as equally as possible.
Each Indian gets three selections of
16O acres and about 500 of surplus
land. making the allotment of each
Indian approximately $50 acres.
