interest to the veterans of the earlier In
dian campaigns These will include a trip
to the famous Custer battlefield and to
several noted camping places used by GEN
eral Crook and other noted Indian fighters.

TO NEW YORK BY GOAT TEAM
Los Angeles Cripple Plans Trip Which
Will Take a Years Time.

A journey from coast to coast by
goat team is planned by Captain
Vivian Edwards. From Los Angeles
to New York city four goats will
draw the diminutive buggy in which
he will ride.
The start will be made as soon as
the weather clears, and Edwards hopes
to keep continually on the road until
his strange trip has been completed,
with the exception of Sundays, when
the animals will be given an oppor-
tunity to rest
II expect to make the journey
within one years time" said the cap
tain the other day to a reporter Of
the Los Angeles Times. MY goat
team can cover fourteen miles a day
over good roads, and with favorable
weather that speed can be kept up
day after day without overtiring the
animals. The heavier articles of my
outfit will be carried by the burros
which will accompany me-"
Edwards, who is a cripple and I'M
able to walk. has already covered
thousands of miles with his goat team,
which consists of four large Angoras.
Last year he went to Hastings, Neb.,
in 200 days.
Edwards companion will be John
Johnson, who was a sailor Of the U.
S. S. Raleigh at the battle Of Manila
Bay. He will handle the burros and
have general care of the camp equip
ment. The trip eastward will be over
the southern route.

| had two burglars before me, one
nineteen years old, being a desper-
ate character. The police chief begged
me not to fool with him and told me
that he would kill me, as he had tried
to do some of the police.
ut took me fi7e hours In my cham
bers to convince that young man that
he did have a friend and that / was
his friend and not his enemy. He
took his railroad fare and travelled to
the reformatory, learned trade and
is doing well today. l got letter
rom him recently, sent on from Den
yer to my New York address.
1.-THE quality and power Of friendship
will make good citizen where hate
and oppression make burglar. The
police were offering bets Of 30 to !
that this burglar friend of mine-Big
Peter was his sname-would never
reach the reformatory. They called
on the phone to settle the bets, and
the policeman turned from the phone
and said: Big Peters arrived, is
washed and dressed and is in line
Then they cashed the bets, losers.
'In Denver our boys love the state

We fail once in awhile, but the Jail

cause the poor fellow is weak, too
weak. You pray here every day to
God to lead you not into temptation,

pray thus because you are weak, like
the rest of humanity, and the ones we
don't succeed with are those who are
much weaker than the rest Of U.s."

A new fashion set by Mrs. Stuyve-

in the Plaza hotel. in New York, the
other afternoon. Mrs. Fish arrived az
the Fifty-eighth street entrance Of the
Plaza when the rooms were thronged.
She wore a long cloak Of broadtail
fastened by a diamond ornament Of
great size. Except for these gems
there was no dash OF color to relieve
the costume. In a fash this innova-
ton had sunk deep into the hearts OF
other women, and the way In which
jewels were quickly shifted after Mrs.
Fish had been seen seemed to indicate
that in future gems will not hide their
light under fur cloaks
