dry bones and skeletons had been un-

got scent of the-to them-rich find

It was as long ago as August. 1900,
that a gentleman named Mallett,
drawn to the spot by the quiet beauty
of Harlyn bay, purchased some three
acres of land and started with the
erection of a dwelling house. AS the
work of excavation proceeded and a
slate cist or tomb was encountered at
a depth of about Is feet, and therein
were found bones and characteristic
ornaments and implements of very
early stage of civilization.
Mr. Mallett, approaching at once
the Importance of the find, communi-

DESERVING OF MORE APPREciA.
TIoN THAN 1T RECEIVES.
Efficient Branch of the Military Forces
OF the Country Which Is Perform
ing Real Service to the
Nation.

The American cavalry Is the finest
body of men with the best trained
horses on the face of the globe, and
yet the American citizen little uncer-
stands or realizes it. The natural
genius of Americans for the saddle
and the unlimited opportunity for rid
ing, combined under the intelligent di-
rection of the army regulation, have
produced results in which every Amer
ican should take pride
Since the earliest days the riding Of
the American soldier has been notable.
The work of the cavalry on both sides
of the civil war was in many respects
unprecedented and has been studied
by European experts with the closest
attention. The Spanish war furnished
other famous examples. The credit
for being the best riders in the world
has long been gwen to the Cossacks.
Since the late war between Russia and
Japan, however, the ideal has been
rudely shattered. For certain feats
of trick riding, again, the Italian cav
airy has been very highly praised. 1t
is safe to say, however, that as regards
endurance, fancy riding and general
efficiency, our American troopers are
easily the equal of and in all prob.
ability superior to any cavalry in the
world.
Such results are in no sense acct
dental. In the first place, the materi-
al at the disposal of the officers is ex-
ceptionally fit. The American soldier
seems to take naturally to the saddle.
He is, in the phrase, a natural born
rider, nor is he lacking in daring and
endurance Then again, the troops
have the advantage of great stretches
of country for riding which test their
skill and endurance. The cavalry
posts of the west-and there are many
of them-are doubtless the finest
training schools for riders In the
world. Here are no tan bark rings or
restricted parade grounds, but unlim-
tied prairie, mountain and desert, pre-

At many of the western posts the
troops have the opportunity to- indulge
in a variety of rough riding OF fancy
riding. which. is at once exceedingly
picturesque and practical. The repu-.
tation of the Cossack, for instance is
largely due to the spectacular feats Of
a few picked men In the circus and
similar exhibitions. Those who have

west known that the American. troops,
discount those feats.

NEAT AND SENSIBLE COSTUME
FOR RAINY WEATHER.
European Authorities Indorse the
Well-Cut Killed Garment for
out-of-Door Wear-Right Of
Women to Dress as They
Please

Should girls wear short skirts?
Why not? If they have the sense
to do it. Is there anything neater
and trimmer than a well-cut killed
skirt clearing the ground by two
inches or more, and showing a pair
OF high-laced boots? 1t is the last
thing In smartness for rainy weather,
and never was there fashion more
hygienic than that of the "trottoir''
skirt, says an English authority.
In France, where they know how
to dress, and where economy has been
elevated to an art, no self-respecting
woman would appear outside her own
house, II there was speck of mud

In Spain and Italy those women
who do not drive in carriages all
wear skirts to their ankles, and you
never see the American lady tourist

England, then, the only nation that
would doom its women to sloppy un-
