oats and barley. At many points
throughout the three provinces the
newcomers are busy unloading their

HOT BISCUIT PASSING.

From the ST. Lou Globe-Democrat.
The extraordinary increase in the
number of small bakeries in st. Louis
in the last few years is emphasizing q
fact that old-fashioned st. Louisians
are loath to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the peo-
breads.
The use OF hot bread is largely =
southern custom and is as universal
now in the southern states as it ever
was. No southern family anywhere in
the United States would think Of serv.
ing cold bread for breakfast, and usu-
ally insist upon their biscuit being hot
enough to burn the fingers. Most south
ern people do not enjoy any meal II
the hot biscuit or corn bread is lack
Ing. In the south every breakfast tae
Bile is supplied with two and often
three kinds of hot bread, and at least
one kind is served at every meal, even
the simplest. Light bread" is, it is
IL k every day in both rolls and
%loaves, but even the loaves are warm
whe placed upon the table.
The wholesomeneSs of hot bread has
been a subject of argument between
the north and the south from time i'm
ment today than 1t was twenty years
ago. Northern physicians and dietists
say hot bread is ruinous to the diges-
ton. and that it Will undermine the
most perfect complexion. Southern doc
tors point in REPUTATION of this state
ment to the health and beauty of many
southern men and women. and so it
goes. Neither faction gives in. and
each eats the particular sort of bread
his own habits and tastes lead him to
prefer.
1t is only the direst necessity that
ever induces q southerner to forego his
hot biscuits. and the recent decrease
in nome baking is the strongest indi-
cation that could be found to show
how fast St. Louis is losing it's south
eru tone.

Real art should be combined with
utility" said Miss Decora recently.
"Thi is why the Japanese art is ac-
knowledged by critics to be the great
est in the world-because it is part OF
the peoples life, because they wish to
make artistic everything that they use,
not for lucre or fame. but because their
soul cry out for artistic expression.
1T needs no argument from me to tell
YOU that the white man does not so.
His home is Il shrine to commercialisln,
not to art"
For herself She seems to desire no
c~olnmendation. no notice-she is of the
shrinking. bashful nature characterize
ing the Indian woman-but for the
great principle behind her she loves to
intercede.
Don't think we Indians do not love

SO grand hat an attempt to counterfeit

while we have allure herself?

making 1t.
You have missed its real signih-
ance. however. You cannot see the
story that is told by every detail, nor
do you realize the high conception of
art which has taught the Indian to
beautify the least important thing
used In his daily life"
For another example, Miss Decora
referred to a cradle made by an In
dian mother When a white child is
born a cradle is hustled from the
store-one very much like that in
which the Brown or Jones baby will
be rocked. But the Indian mother
makes the cradle for her own child,
and into its decoration weaves her
mother love, her hope. her joy.

Gen. Tyler and Fort Tyler.

Editor National Tribune: Some time
ago Comrade Fred Genwich, Co. A, Cd
Ind. Cav, exprest the belief that the
7th KY. Cav. was q long way off at the
storming of Fort Tyler at Westpoint.
Ga. But comrade, we were there, and
our guidon the first U. S. flag on the
fort There was but one siege gun on
the fort, and We silenced that by killing
or wOunding all the gunners. The last
shot they fired they did not take time
to remove the ramrOd, they were in
such a hurry TO shoot. The first shot
they fired came whiZzing thru the air,
and landed where our horses WERE We
charged the side of the fort on which
the gun was located. and as all who
were killed. in the fort fell on the side
exposed to our fire it Is safe to say that
the 7th KY! Cav. did all the execution
in this little fight that was done, even
to the killing of Gen. Tyler. Just why
Col Lagrange ordered Maj. Bloom to
take his regiment up in the face of this
siege gun I do not know. Every shot
it fired from first to last was at the
7th KY. Cay, and they kept it up until
we got within 40 yards Of the fort,
when they stopt firing, as they could
not raise their heads without being
shot About the flag: big Steve" the
Indian, of the 1st Wis. Cav, got the
flag. and, I understand from good au-
thority, presented 1t to Col. Lagrange.
There was in the fort some colors of a
Michigan regiment U don't remember
the number of the regiment), and per-
haps Comrade Genwich mistook them
for the rebel flag flying over Fort Tyler.
At all events. big Steve" took the flag
from the pole, which was not a diff
cult thing to do after the fort had sur
rendered, with one-fOurth of the garri-
son killed and wounded. A few years
ago I met a Captain who was in that
fort, aid he tc'd me at the time Of the
attack they >-d, all told, but 75 men
in the garrison. He said If we had
come "a hours earlier we would have
had a hot time, as they had then 500
men. which they afterwards sent away
to Colunbvs, not expecting an attack
