BY F. o. Chase
How thick the mem 'rfes come to
mind,
Of many tented plain,
Of fading lines, of faded gray,
And CHASTITY heaps of slain,
Of bugles blaring through the night
In tones that stir the soul,
The days of '62 come back,
When Rucker calls the roll.
Full many roll call comes to mind,
Full many sad parade
Of muskets glinting down the line
And CLEAN of saber blade,
Though few they be who do not
sleep
Beneath some grassy knoll,
In vivid visions all come back
When Rucker calls the roll
Then here's to Rucker-loyal heart,
Faithful and tried and true
And when deaths bugle sounds for
taps
Our prayer shall go with you.

Report Is Disappointing.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Speculators in
stocks expressed their disappointment
over the government crop by selling their
holdings quite freely after its appear,
ance. The sharp decline in condition OF
corn was Of especial effect, as hopes had
been raised high of brilliant showing
for that crop. Some preparation evi,
IDENTIFY was made also to sell stocks to
realize profits even in event OF eXpecta-
tions being realized regarding the crop
report. The reaction from top prices
In stocks ran from l to 2 points IN many
instances. and converted the earlier gains
into general losses which reached as
much as a point in some cases.

THIEVES TO CATCH THIEVES. '
Many Former Bandits Now In Mexico'z
Mounted Police.

The rurales or mounted police have
pretty nearly put stop to brigandage.
Several years ago the government recog-
nized the wisdom of the old adage "Set
thief to catch a thief" and offered
pardon and protection to all brigands
who would enlist as rurales.
Most of them took advantage of the
offer, writes Dillon Wallace in Outing,
and with these men on the side of law
and order hold-ups soon became infre.
ouent, and the rurales developed into a
wonderfully efficient mounted force to
hunt down bandits. They are fearless
riders. they know every mountain pass
and fastness, and when they once start
after a man he is pretty sure to be
caught or killed-generally killed.
The rurales of Mexico compare favor
ably in bravery and reckless daring with
that wonderful organization, the North
west Mounted Police of Canada, and
are by far the best armed force in Mex
leo. Their calling gives them opportuni-
ty for wild adventure. and thus salts
fes the craving for a life of danger,
which led many of them to be brigands
in the first instance. They are free
and easy lot, quite in contrast to the
peaceabIy inclined policemen of the
towns and the slow moving, indo1ent SOL
diery of the regular army.
