Now an Old Man and Inmate at Sol

ence-Arrowhead Is Preserved
in Museum at SaWteIle

Special to The Herald.
SOLDIERS HOME, July 21,-Assis-
tant Surgeon H. e. Bogue of the Home
hospital added to his collection of SOU
venirs an arrowhead of steel, which,
with it's shaft had been sent from the
bow of an Indian forty-seven years
ago.
It was presented to the doctor by
veteran patient, Charles Guirard, who
claims to be a nephew of the noted
philanthropist, Stephen Girard of Phil
adelphia, founder of Girard college.
Charles, who spells his name Guirard,
can only account for the photographic
difference on the ground that his dis
tinguished uncle who, like himself, was
native of France, had Americanized
the name.
He was born in Brittany and is now
in his eighty~fifth year. Until 1850,
when he came to the United States, he
had led a sea-faring life.
Never Saw Daughter
In 1858 he moved from Buffalo, N.
Y, to Ypsilanti, Mich, where ne mar
ried. The pathetic part of his life is
in the fact that he has never seen his
daughter since she was five years old.
Her name is Mary Jane Girard and if
living would be about so years. Her
father thinks she may yet be resi-
dent of Ypsianti.
In 1859 Girard was seized with a de-
sire to Join one of the many parties

state.
In Utah the episode in the journey
to which the arrowhead incident be-
longs took place
Rest Proves Disastrous
The train had camped that day be-
side a spring in a little valley at the
foot of Goose Creek mountain. When
the party prepared to move on he con-
cluded to give his horse a little longer
rest before taking the climb up the
mountain, calculating to catch up with
the party wherever 1t would camp
at nightfall
After couple of hours longer rest
he started up the trail.
II had just reached the top" he said,
'and at a turn in the trail came sud
denly upon four Indians in war paint.
Two of these moved promptly toward

one extended his hand as he said in

IT was holding my horses bride
with my left hand when he grasped
my right hand and swung me clear

he said a few words of Indian jargon.

The Art of Flattery.

There are those who have an instinct
which prompts them to offer verbal ca
resses to all with whom they come in
contact, and there is no doubt that, If
such people are gifted at the same time
with good hearts, they greatly sweeten
life. They do not know how to say
much less write, disagreeable SEN
tence. They see with their minds eye
the exact spot where flattering word
would produce pleasure or salve
smart, and the temptation to say 1t Is
very great The pleasure they produce
delights them, and they study to pro-
duce it again. No doubt they practice
IN art, but not very black art. and 1t
Is difficult not to like them, especially
If they are women. Real tlattery-the
really false article-can hardly exist
with a warm heart. Plenty OF folly ana
too much desire to be popular may go
with that, but nothing else.-famllv

Willing to cempromi...

An Englishman at dinner once
told a tale of a tiger he had shot
which measured twenty-four feet
from snout to tail tip. Every one
was astonished, but no one ventured
to insinuate doubt of the truth Of
the story. Presently a Scotchman
told his tale. He had once caught q
fish which, he said, he was unable to
pull in alone, managing only to land
it at last with the aid of six friends.
3It was skate, and it covered two
acres" Silence followed this recital,
during which the offended English
man left the table. The host fol-
lowed. After returning he said to
the Scotchman: "Sir, you have in
suited my friend. You must apollo
gize." 81 dinna insoolt him." said
the Scot. "Yes, you did, with your
two acre fish story. You must apol-
ogize." "Well," said the offender
slowly, with the air of one making a
great concession, "tell him if he will
take ten feet off that tiger l will see
what I can do with the fish,"

Why Swimming Beginner. Fail.

You try hard to keep your mouth

his breath just at the moment he
strikes out. This insures the get

water at once, and collapse is inev-

take breath between the strokes all
will be we'll. Quite naturally, when
you draw your knees outward for

surely as your feet are thrust from

Byles on Bills.

Among the humorous memories con-
nected with English judges Is one OF
Justice Bylcs and his horse. This en-
inent jurist was well known in his
profession for his work on Bills and
as this gave fine opportunity for al
litera ton his associates were accus-
toned to bestow the name on the
horse, which was but sorry steed.
"There goes Byles on Bills" they took
pleasure in saying, and as the judge
rode out every afternoon they lndulged
daily in their little joke. But the truth
was that the horse had another name,
known only to the master and his man.
and when a too curious client inquired
as to the judges whereabouts he was
told by the servant. with clear con-
science, that master was out on Busi-
ness"

cisco man and one Of the backers Of
Jane D. Houseman in his electric
railway enterprise. was in Greeley
two or three days the early part Of
this week to look up for himself the
conditions here for an electric rail-
way.
He says that he had known Mr..
Houseman for twenty years and
never for q moment doubted the re-
port he sent in. but wanted to see
this wonderful country for himself.
Mr.. Houseman had told him that he
found 1t his hardest work to keep
the report Of tonnage for this section
down to where his people would be-
lieve 1t, but since Mr.. Drake was
shown over the district by repre-
sentative Greeley business men he
believed everything that he had
heard of the country.
Mr.. Drake is dealer in stocks
and bonds and is expecting to float
the million dollar. bond issue for the
building of the electric read.
While here he met many Of the
prominent men who are familiar
