the wagons because it would weaken his force 10

practically impossible
Baldwin went to the teamsters and sald: !

you've got to charge with us. want you to put
your teams in the center of the charging line
and make those mules fly straight into the mid

mule drivers, mules and wagons had been ordered

that with good cussing, and with good lashing
they could lead the cavalry mile
The 500 Indians were on plateau with sides
shelving gradually down 10 the plains. Baldwin's
plan was nothing less than the seemingly reckless
one of crossing the open with his men and
wagons, sweeping up the incline and driving the
enemy, if he could or fighting him hand to hand
if he must.
The horsemen rode up in line with the four
mule teams abreast at the lines center. There
a word of command, trumpet note or two
and the line swept across the plain with the
mules keen jump with black snake whips
cracking and the drivers saying things which

The reds turned loose at the advancing hun

down here and there, but the mules in the center

"eds on the plateau kept up their fusade. Up

FATHER HAD A GRIEVANCE.
Some Excuse for His Violent Assault
on Managing Editor.

Lima Cavalieri, the beautiful Roman
prima donna. said recently OF her
beauty Darlor' in New York:
Beauty is womans most important
attribute. She who increases beauty
is woman's greatest benefactor. Hus-
bands, brothers, even fathers-in their
inmost hearts beauty is the thing they
desire most to see in their feminine
relations"
She laughed.

DIDN'T REALIZE
How Injurious Coffee Really Was.

Many persons go on drinking coffee
year after year without realizing that
it is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments.
The drug-caffeine-in coffee and
tea, is very like uric acid and is often
the cause of rheumatic attacks which,
when coffee is used habitually, become
chronic.
A Washington lady said, recently:
Il am siXty-tive and have had good
deal of experience with coffee. l con-
slider it very injurious and the cause
of many diseases. | am sure it causes
decay of teeth in children
when l drank coffee l had sick
spells and still did not realize that
coffee could be so harmful. till about
a year ago l had rheumatism in my
arms and fingers, got so nervous l
could not sleep, and was all run down.
AT last, after finding that medicines
did me no good. decided to quit cof
fee entirely and try Postum. After
using it six months | fully recovered
my health beyond all expectations, can
sleep sound and my rheumatism is all
gone There's a Reason"

WHAT WIFE SAYS "GoEs."
But It Sometimes Is Bad for tho
Painting.

When property-owncr knows moth
ing about paint it is bad for the
property-owner, and bad for the paint
er. 1t would not be so If the property
owner would always hire a skilled
painter, and then really leave every
thing 10 him. But the house-owner so
often fools himself on one or the other
of these things.
The skilled painter in every commu-
nifty has some of the most incompetent
competitors that ever veXed a consc!-
entious workman or contractor, and
the incompetents get jobs generally by
working cheap. In the next place,
when the skilled painter is hired, they
do not leave everything to him, as so
many property-owners boast they do.
They interfere most ignorantly and
most fatally They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without in
vestigating whether they are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist on the
painters hurrying the work.
I'm not going TO have that painters
mess around my house MONTH" the
wife says, and what wife says goes
at the cost of a lot of wasted painting
money.
II the painter stays away few
days to allow the paint to thoroughly
dry the owner says: THAT painters
neglecting this work-guess he's side
tracking me for Jones work. | won't
stand it,"
What chance does painterhave to do
good work for man who is continually
nagging at him and otherwise handi-
Gaping him (without meaning it, Of
course)? A poor job is the inevitable
result of such interference.
Poor painting costs the houseowner
money-dont forget that. 1t might
pay you to get the practical paint
book, painting specifications and in
strument for detecting paint adul-
terants. which National Lead Co. are
offering under the title of House
Owners Painting Outfit No. 40. Ad-

you how to save money by securing

Frank d. Baldwin has been in many fights
for his country that the counting of them as
the proportion of mathematical problem.
For years upon years after the civil war in which
he distinguished himself time and again, he fought
nearly every form of Indian that the plains of
the United States has produced. There was one
fight in which Baldwin was engaged which de-
serves a place in song and story, if some song
or story writer could be found equal to the oc-
cason. In the days of the campaign of which
this fight feature there only one bar
on Baldwin's shoulder, for he was junior first
lieutenant of infantry. The campaign was a long
one and the fights followed fast and followed
faster.
n While detached service in Newport KY, in
IGne 1874 Baldwin heard that his regiment was
4oe ordered, under Col Nelson A. Miles to make
an expedition into the Indian territory. The lieu
tenant went to the front as fast as a train and a
horse could carry him. When he reported for
duty Miles, who knew Baldwins record in the
civil war, put him in command of the
scouts of the expedition, command that
was composed partly of whites and partly
With his scouts back of him Lieut. Baldwin
had dozen engagements, one after another,
with the confederated bands of Cheyennes, l<o-
~Has Arapahoes and the southern Comanches.
The one fight however, which for picturesque
ness stands out most prominently in the battle
list did not take place until after Baldwin mad
been in the field for many months. 1t was the
fight of his life not in the engagements size nor
what an officer who saw it declares
TO have been Its howlingy funny fea-
lures"
1t was picturesque and it was funny all right
but il was dangerous we'll and Baldwin lost
some of his men, and took his own life IN MS
hands 20 times before he won his splendid victory
against tremendous odds The daring Oh 'he
thing was recognized by Col. Miles, by the gen
eral commanding the department, and by the
congress of the United States, which gave Bald

that day.
