Fort Brown was the base Of supplies

open, and immense quantities Of cotton
were shipped from here to Europe.

In the early 4Os Charles Stillman left
New York with q cargo Of merchandise

ashore in a gale near the mouth OF the
Rio Grande. where. at that time, was q
small town named Bagdad. Mr. Stillman
managed to save most OF the goods. al
though the ship was an entire loss. and
sold them out to the best advantage pos
sible. When the trouble between the
United States and Mexico grew serious, In
about twenty-five miles. established Q

travellers across the Rio Grande. He pur-

THE INDIAN ATHLETES.
What Some of the Football Heroes Are
Ooinu


one of the best known athletes in
the country is Frank Mount Pleasant.
who was graduated from Carlisle and
holds records for the quarter mile, 100
yards, 220 yards and the broad jump.
He was a famous football players and
represented the United States in the
Olympic games in Europe two years
ago He was graduated from the
academic department of Dickinson col
lege last year and was the first Indian
To get the diploma and degree of this
college. He has been selected as ath-
letic director in charge of all student
sports at Franklyn where he resides.
Another of the Carlisle students who
had the honor of being an all American
quarterback is James Johnson. a Stock
bridge Indian of Wisconsin. He was
considered one of the most wonderful
athletes of the day. After being gradu-
ated from Carlisle he entered the dental
department of Chicago working his
way, and was graduated in 1907.
He is now in san Juan, =. r, where
he is practicing his profession. He did
business of $4,000 last year and num-
bers some Of the most prominent peo-
pie of the island as his patients. He
married Il Carlisle graduate and has
a nice home.
one of the most exciting things To
happen during the football season Of
1903 took place in the Harvard stadium
when the Indians were playing Harvard
university. During the game Charles
Dillon, a Sioux. after running the whole
length of the field. made a touchdown
with the ball tucked under his jersey.
This young man, although he did not
stay long enough to graduate. is now
i'm Montana, where he is in charge Of
the blacksmithing department on the
Crow reservation. He. married a Crow
girl, who is a graduate of the school.

of the government

THE LIFE OF A WATCH.
It Depends Largely on the Watch and
the Man Carrying II.

The life of a watch. jewelers. say, de-
ponds largely on the person carrying it
and the care taken of it. AS To the care
of a watch some jewellers say that 1t
should be oiled once year. some once
in two years; perhaps once in eighteen
months would be about the right thing.
says the New York Sun.
All jewelers. say that a watch should
always be wound at the same time
daily: this is essential to make it give
| the best results. II a wd-ch is per-
mitted 20 run down it may on rewind
| ing keeD different time and require
| regulating. With the watch wound
regularly and Kept running there is set
up aud esta blished in the handspring
certain tension. If this strain is wholly
released by letting the watch run down
the spring may on rewinGing take on
somewhat different tension. This
difference may be extremely slight. but
il may be enough 20 affect the running
of the watch
While some watches are long lived,
many are short lived, the long lived
tr. les being Of course those OF fine
quality that are also well cared for.
: a limit to the life of any
watch that is kept constantly in use.
The best watches, like the best of any
thing, will wear out in time.
A matchmaker had lately brought in
to him for repair watch 125 years old
that had been running practically con-
tinuously. It might be Difficult. to say
just what duration its intervals Of rest
had been. but it was supposed to have
been run practically continuously. and
a., ;t Of
it was still in fairly good condition and
good for some future use. But this was
an extraordinary case. Most watches.
however excellent they may have been
originally, would with constant use
wear out in far less time.
Sometimes there are brought in to
Jewellers fine old and once valuable
watches whose owners desiring now to
buy new watch, wish to offer the ola
watch at some price i'm exchange; but IL
is of no value except for the weight OF
the metal contained in its cases. Every
jeweler has an accumulatlVe collectloh
of such old works, which are OF no
value whatever. except that at long IN
tervals there may be found among them
a wheel or a part that may serve In
some other old time watch brought in
for repair.
So watches do wear out: and as to
the life of watch, with fair care
the life of a watch, jeweler SAID
good average watch, with fair care
ought to wear from thirty to forty
wears. and fine watch fifty years; 1t
might last seventy five. but fifty years
would probably be nearer the figure.
Ii may be thought that superior
watch would last longer than that,
but really the wonder is that this dell
cate piece of mechanism running year
after year ceaselessly should run so
long. And as matter of fact. com
paratively few watches are put to the
