is touching to find that dying soldiers

their wonderful blossoms, the brave

BIG CONTRAST IN METHODS
Difference In Way American and Can

the Indizns.

A recently issued book on "The
Riders of the Plains" an account OF
the northwest mounted police of Can

number Of instances showing the diff
ference between the Canadian and the
United States methods of treating the
Indians. One Of these is to the effect
that a number OF Canadian Indians.

fed over the border to the states.
These most undesirable immigrants
we're told they must so back. The
Canadian government finally said 1t

the states would send them over the
border. And here Is the conclusion
of the story:
In due course 200 very dissatisfied
and wild-eyed Crees. with $50 horses.

Women in the prison Of the great
Scotch city are encouraged to look

up their heads and make the most OF
their figures and appearance. Ugly

The Lance In War.

The lance as a cavalry weapon has
Justified it's existence. military experts
agree, in the South African and the
Russo,Japanese war. in spite of those
who decried the arm as old fashioned
and cumbersome. The German mill
tary authorities stfil believe in shock
tactics and tie cavalry charge. and
under these circumstances the lance
In the Prussian Uhlan's hands remains
q formidable weapon.
Experience, however, has also
shown that the lance point often
makes too deep wounds for the shaft
to be Withdrawn quickly. and so the
lancer runs the risk of having 1t
wrenched from his grasp In the
charge. The cavalry regiments sta
toned at Brunswick and Strasburg
are experimenting with a new kind Of
lance which carries a ball below the
base of the lancehead, preventing 1t
from penetrating further. 1t is said
that the new arm is just as effective
in disabling an enemy and is free from
other disadvantages. 1t will probably
be adopted by all the German lancer
regiments.
