Throughout, the play was marred
by frequent evidences of hoodlumism

Country Boys Wanted
For Business Positions

Business men of Oakland and San
Francisco, and other large cities, want
young men reared in the country to
prepare for commercial positions. Ex-
perience has shown that the average
boy from the farm has habits Of in
dustry and integrity that make for
success.
The Polytechnic Business College OF
Oakland, Cal, has made a phenome-
nal record in training and placing
young men and women in business
positions and the College is so locat-
ed as to provide homelike accommo-
dations at very low rates.
1t Is said that every young man
who has taken the complete course
in business training at this College
has received remunerative employ
ment upon graduation.

Peter D. Lill, rector of ST. Mary's
German Catholic church at West

tabernacle, altar and poor boxes in
the church wired and an alarm bell

still more surprised when they saw

He found hiding place for the day in a
ravine about 800 yards from the bank of the
creek, and after feeding his horse, and eating
his own breakfast he put all thought of sleep
aside, and climbing to a hilltop he watched the
vicinity of the creek.
Bell believed that the reds could not have

of the day to reach his hiding place and that
by that time his horse would be fresh and

At three o'clock in the afternoon he saw
something that set his heart beating brave

breaking through the underbrush on the bank
of the creek and Bell knew that his trail had
been followed and that he had but moments

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth KnoWng.\

1t is a serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when a per-
sons stomach is out of order and most
foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will
digest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods.

four years, ever since an attack of ty-

none but words of praise for Grape

In the year 1879. when the Utes succeeded
In getting some United States troops into what
was afterward known as Thornburg's rat
hole" several mounted couriers succeeded in
slipping through the circling line of savages.
All of them reached Merritt's column, 10 miles
distant, in less than "a hours. The exact time
was not taken for as Col. Dodge puts it. res
cue was of more Importance than records
1t must be understood, of course, that all
these American rides were made without
changing horses. The steed at the start was
the steed at the finish. The best rider, accord
ing to cavalry experts, is not the man who
takes five-barred gate or who can ride stand
ing, but the man who by instinct feels the
condition of his horse, and though getting the
most out of the animal, knows best how to
conserve his strength.
Gen. Lawton in the year 1876, rode from
Red Cloud agency, Nebraska, to Sidney in the
same state distance of 1875 miles, in 26 hours.
He was carrying important dispatches for Gen.
Crook and though the road was bad his mount
was in good condition when Lawton, looking
live years older than he did the day before.
handed over his bundle of papers to the black
bearded general.
Gen. Merritt has a forced march record that
has no American parallel when the conditions
of his Journey are considered. He was ordered
in the fall of 1879 to the relief of Payne's
command. which was surrounded by hostile In
dams Merritt's command consisted OF four
troops of cavalry, but at the last moment he
was ordered to add to his force battalion OF
infantry. The dough boys" were loaded into
army wagons drawn by mules, and with the
cavalry at the tanks the relief column started.
The distance to be traversed was 10 miles,
and IL was made. Notwithstanding the handi-

mounting horse he started southeast to the
wilderness to look death in the face.
His course took him close to the scene OF
the Custer massacre, where less than two
weeks before 5000 Sioux had gathered for the
killing. He travelled only at night, and all day
long he lay hidden in the timber or in the
gulches of the foothills.
Two hours after sunset on the second night
he left his days hiding place and set his
course southwark along a range Of low hills.
He turned aside to skirt a bit of timber, and
as he came to the edge of the trees his mount
showed symptoms of uneasiness.
Bell dropped from his horse and stole for
ward He saw not more than 100 yards ahead
of him war party of fully so Indians making
preparations to camp for the night. They had
come apparently from a direction opposite to
that taken by the courier, for he had not
crossed their trail. He stole back, remounted
and made a detour, passing the Indian en-
campment on the right and without awakening
their suspicious.
Notwithstanding the rough nature of the
country through which he was passing and the
necessity of sparing his horse, Bell made 40
miles in that second nights ride. When 1t
was within two hours of sunrise he struck a
small creek with bottom of sand and peb-
bles. He knew that if the war party which
he had passed the night before should find his
trail that it would be followed, and that the
reds would not spare their ponies in the at
tempt to overtake the wilderness messenger.
For two miles Bell led his horse down the
bed of the creek thus completely obiterating
his trail, but he knew that the hoof marks
showing where he had taken to the water were
tetale witnesses of his subterfuge.
He reached q part of the creek where the
banks were heavily overgrown with bushes He

the story of a desperately heroic defense. The
detachment had joined Terry and the story or
the Custer massacre was told.
The whole country to the northeast and
the south was swarming with the Sioux not
yet stated with slaughter. To the southeast
200 miles away, near the headquarters OF the
Powder river, in the Territory of Wyoming
lay the command of Gen. Crook. 1t i'm
peratively necessary that the situation of af-
fairs just south of the Yellowstone should be
made known to the general commanding the
southeastern forces.
Between Terry and Crook was an unbroken
wilderness inhabited only by wild animals and
wilder men. With Terry's column were six
tried scouts and plainsmen. They knew every
inch of the country every trail, every hiding
place in the mountain spurs and every patch
of timber on the plains To these men were
intrusted the dispatches of the commanding
officer, with instructions to carry them south
eastward to the camp of Crook. The scouts
started their journey. Inside of eight hours
all of them we're back and the report to Terry
was that Il, an could attempt the journey to
Powder rive and live
In Company of the Seventh infantry was
a private named James Bell. He had acquired
a knowledge of the country in the campaigns
in which he had served against the Sioux. His
knowledge, however, was but 1.-THE of that
held by the plainsmen, and his acquaintance
with the ways of the Indians was as nothing
to theirs, yet Private James Bell went to Gen.
Terrys headquarters and volunteered to carry
the dispatches through the heart of the hos
tile country and to deliver them to Gen. Crook,
else IL it must be, to forfeit his life.
Terry asked the man if he knew fully the
danger of the undertaking. Bells answer was:
The scouts came back" In the four words
he expressed the whole thing for the scouts
