How to Trim Babies Garme nts.

One Of the favorite methods of trim
ming children's caps, sacks, dresses
and undergarments Is Misunderstanding,
which can be put on In a variety OF
ways. A dainty way Of putting on the
stitches is to mark lightly with pen
Gil zigzag line up and down an even
distance along the hem you wish to
catch. Follow this line in the feather
stitching, and the effect will be pretty.
Another pretty way Is to make a
number Of small circles, leaving a dis
lance between them equal to the diam
eter Of the circles. Now featherstitch
the circles, and you will have dainty
finish to the garment. In the same
way one could mark squares and dia-
monds as well as a long wavy line.
One can never put too much work on
baby garments Of any kind, and Of all
trimmings Misunderstanding can be used
to the greatest advantage.
Probably your neighbours sins will
eventually Gnd him out, but don't aid
and abet him in it.

could not be eaten. Suffering became
intense, and sending for help was alb
solutely necessary else the command
would perish. Jack Stilwell a noted
scout, then Il beardless youth in buck
skin, volunteered to go to Fort Wal
lace. Old Pete Trudeau, a frontiers
man. said he would go with him. AT
midnight the pair crept out from the
breastworks and were quickly lost
sight Of. Stilwell decided that the
best route to take would be by going
directly ashore and over the bluff and
not to detour up or down the river or
follow the ravines into the interior,
for he judged that the Indians would
guard these seemingly less perilous
avenues. feeling that no one would
take chance Of escaping over the
bluff. Crawling on their stomachs and
sometimes on their hands and knees,
three miles were covered before dawn.
They saw Indians on every hand. The
first stage of their long journey
brought them to the top Of the divide
between the Arickaree and South Re
publican rivers. There they concealed
themselves for the day in washout,
or head of draw, where the banks
had been overgrown with tall grass
and sunfowers. From over the hill
they could hear firing all day. which
told them that their comrades still
held out.
Next night they crept away across
the south fork Of the Republican. and
the morning Of the fourth day found
them on the prairie at the head of
Goose creek. The Indians seemed to
have been left behind. and the boy
and man decided now to travel also by
day. This piece of recklessness near
ly cost them their lives, for about 8
o'clock in IT,. morning they saw In
dams coming toward them, and they
dropped into the grass. Fortunately
the Indians had not discovered them,
but it was necessary to hide quickly.
In looking for place to conceal them
selves on the open plains they discov
cred some weeds growing around a
buffalo carcass. Crawling to their
prospective shelter, they found that
the buffalo had been killed about a
year before and that the skeleton was
intact, with little bits of hide hanging
to the ribs in places. In moment
they had crawled into the skeleton
with its almost unbearable stencil
The tenseness Of their situation, cou-
pied with the dangers at hand, began
to affect Trudeau's mind, and he al
most broke down completely. He
wanted to shout, shoot his revolver
and leap out from their hiding place,
but Stilwell persuaded him to remain
quiet until dark, when refreshing
drink Of water revived him. and they
Travelled on through the night. The
next day was foggy, and they Travelled
by daylight without trouble. About
II o'clock, when almost utterly ex-
| hausted. they saw coming out of the
haze of the Denver wagon road two
soldiers bearing dispatches. The cou-
! riers were on the way to Colonel Car
penter's command. lying at Lake Sla-
ter, about fifty miles from where Cen
eral Forsyth was besieged. Squirting
their horses, they made all haste to
Colonel Carpenters camp. and his
| force was quickly marched to General

that very little interest was taken,
