the institution which he has founded. Neither
could they have been induced to have brought
together their most valuable and cherished per-

fidence which this agency has awakened within
them
We have therefore the first beneficial
effects of education and proper example upon this
neglected people. The changes which have been
wrought upon those coming in contact with this
institution have been rapid and sweeping that
it challenges credulity. The difference between
them and the Navajos some other parts of the
reservation is so marked that they would not be
taken for the same people, and it is these differ

initiated by Mr. Shelton at this institution and

CHAINED TO WHEELBARROW

In writing of the Schlusselburg prison in Nc
Clures, David Soskice tells of prisoner who was
chained to a wheelbarrow:
"Schedrin had been condemned to hard labor In
the convict mines of Siberia and for an atmmept
to escape from there had been sentenced to be
chained to heavy wheelbarrow. When the order
came for his transfer from Siberia to st. Peters
burg conveyance could be found large enough
to contain him, the wheelbarrOw and the convoy
of gendarmes Yet, the wheebarrow had be-
come a part of the prisoner, the gendarmes were
afraid to leave it behind. 1t therefore de-
cided to place Schedrn with his convoy in cart
and the wheelbarrow behind in another. For sew
eral months, day and night, Schedrin and the gen
darmes galloped through Siberia a troika "a
threehorsed cart sledge), while another sped
behind them upon which the wheelbarrow reposed
causing the deepest amaZement among the peas
ants in the villages through which they passed
Upon the arrival of the prisoner in IS. Peter and
Paul he again chained to the barrow
and only after he had been six weeks in the
Schluesselburg was he finally detached from it and
given freedom of movement within the narrow
confines of his cell.
"'When they unclaimed me- said Schedrin sub
sequently, i could not get enough movement
wanted to and run, and it seemed to that
l could never stop. How strange it is that men
who can enjoy perfect freedom of movement never
realize the wonderful happiness that is theirs!'"

NO CHANCE FOR A BARBER
One Time That Adjutant Had to Re-
frain from Use of His Pet
Phrase.

At one of the old volunteer camps
the newly appointed adjutant of a GER
tain metropolitan corps contracted a
little habit of telling off men on pa
rade to get their hair cut, as much
to their annoyance as to the amuse-
ment of onlookers.
One morning, after having told OF
about half a dozen men in this man
ner, he came to a somewhat old
stager whose hair at the back was
perhaps just long enough to take
away from a smart appearance, but
certainly too long to satisfy our ad-
jutant.
The latter's method of procedure
was to pass behind the men and push
the culprit's peak cap over his nose,
at the same time shouting, Hair cut
here"
AS sure as fate, when the adjutant
came to the long-service man he
promptly told him off, and automat-
ically pushed his cap forward. But
oh! horrors! What pity!
"Er-er, as you were," murmured
the adiutant The man was as bald
as a billiard ball, with the exception
of thin, gray line" of hair which
could be seen just below the band of
his cap at the back of his head.
