BUILT TEN ROOM HOUSE
 WITH HIS OWN HANDS.
Beeson Dug Up All the Material, Ex- cept the Concrete, From His Ranch.

A concrete house on the Beeson ranch, just south of Dodge City, was one of the show places of western Kansas the past sUrl:ner. Nearly every guest in the city WAS taken to see the house and to near the tale about how it came to be there.
 The best part of the story is that the material used, except the lumber and the concrete, was taken from the ranch upon which it stands and that all the labor in constructing it was performed by the owner, Merritt Bee son.
 Merritt is the son of Chalk Beeson. the "fddling statesman" Young Bee son made a livelihood for twelve years blowing Il cornet in park bands and the ater orchestras. Failing health took him back to the ranch three years ago
 A short time after his return he met a girl, and soon they were considering plans for the wedding.
 "But we ought to have a home" the girl said one day. Suppose you build us one out on the east section of the ranch"
 After the wedding the house proposi- ton came up again, and the young man had to get to work. He drew the plans himself and bought the concrete That was all he needed to buy. The sand was taken from creek bed on the ranch. He made his own block machine and roofing tile machine. The rest was labor. He furnished that

MISS BROWN, Special Representative JONES & JOHNSTON.

'She explained that the object of her visit was to see why I had discon- tinued being a charge customer of the firm she represented. 1t seems that the young woman's position Is chiefly that of commercial peace maker. Patrons of big department stores, she told me, often take offense at some fancied or real wrong which they have received at the hands of one of the employees and in conse- quence stop buying goods at the shop. After a certain number of months have gone by without a charge cus- toner having availed herself of her credit privilege a circular letter is sent to her asking why patronage has been withheld.
 Should the firm receive no response to this inquiry 1t becomes the duty of the special representative to find out the reason why. So she appears at the house of the delinquent in the guise of chaser to smooth out the trouble If possible and blaze the trail, as it were, to renewed patronage. Later on the matter is placed in the hands of the complaint department, which in turn takes it up with the ex- customer.
 "'You have no idea how many cases of this kind we have, which could be reached in no other way the peace envoy explained. After finding out that a prolonged absence from town was the only cause of my loss of trade the little lady, smiling, bowed herself away. leaving me ruminating upon the many tricks of the trade"

 Colonel Bailey entered the military service in 1872 from civil life as a sec the Fifth infantry and remained with 1t until 1901, or almost twenty-nine years.

 He won his brevets of first lieuten- ant and captain for distinguished serv- ice in command of his company in an engagement with Cheyenne Indians on Nov. 8, 1874. In that engagement the camp of Gray Beard, chief of the Chey- ennes, was on the north branch of Mo Clellan creek. It was attacked, and the Indians were driven to the Staked ,o1n T,,I{o two while girls, were rescued from the Indians in that engagement. Their parents had been killed in western Kansas.
 Brigadier General Franklin D. Bald win, retired, first lieutenant in the Fifth infantry, was in command of the detachment that made the attack and the rescue. He received a medal of honor. Tn 1874 and 1875 the regi- ment pursued the Southern Cheyennes, and in March, 1875, the Indians and their chief, Stone Calf, surrendered. The regiment was sent to the depart ment of Dakota after the Custer mas sacre and established Fort Keogh at the mouth of Tongue river in Mon Ahld' <A1NCA yNoAo OL SCA ' ANS against the Indians the Fifth regiment on June 1, 1888, went to Texas.

HERE FROM INDIA TO STUDY.
pr. khedkar Will Also Correct Our
 Idea of Vedic PhiIosophv

pr. khedkur Will Also Correct Our
 Idea of Vedio Philosophy.
 Dr. s. V. Khedkar, fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, medical officer of the province of Kolhapur, British India, and private physician to the maharajah, an up to date In dian prince, arrived in this country recently to study advances in medical science. He was graduated at the University of Edinburgh in 1900.
 Incidentally Dr. Khedkar hopes to cheek erroneous impressions of the Vedanta system of philosophy which have been fostered by self seeking charlatans. News of the activity of these ''swamis" and others, he said, had given great pain to the head of the Vedic system in India, the Shanke racharga Matha, or hierarchy of the ancient monastery at Kolhapur. He bears a commission to explain its teachings in this country. pr. Khed kar said:
 "The Vedic teaching is based on the oldest known writings in India, and for centuries Its study was vigorously confined to the east. The Shankera- charga monastery is one of the four centers of the teaching in Hindustan. It was founded in the ninth century and is a sort of Vedic university.
 "A common error fostered by self appointed teachers of a false Vedanta philosophy is that it is opposed to Christianity. The truth of the matter Is that a great deal of Vedic philoso- phy may be found in the Scriptures. Tn fact, certain passages can be ex- plained only in the light of Vedic philosophy"

LODGING BULLETS
CContinued from First Page.)

There was an old rail fence that gave us a little protection. We found rebel Gen A, P, Hills forces before us and we had hot fight. Our losses were quite heavy. E. D. Lawrence was hit under the arm pit while his arm was raised in the act of ramming home cartridge, and Wm. H. Colt of my com pany was killed. His body was found the next morning. It seemed when he was hit the ball went through his mid dle and he had pushed his middle finger into the wound, presumably to check the bleeding and as his body was rigid, when his hand was pulled away it would fly back again. He was a very tall man.
 Our casualties in this skirmish were eighteen all told. Six of these were missing, and were probably taken pris- oners. Colonel Mackenzie had two fingers shot off. Lieutenants Knight, Gurnsey and Hampstead were among the killed near the rail fence.
 Our situation was anything but pleas ant. We advanced further into the woods, bushes and vines and established permanent line with a picket line in front. It was a regular jungle and the rebels sent their shot through to our line and we returned it very vigorously. At night we massed for a charge but for some reason this was given up.
 The following dayw built breastworks which became our front line and was strengthened so that it was almost lm- pregnable, and remained 80 till the close of the war and was cleared up like park and afterwards known as Hancock Station on Grants railroad.
 June g, 1864, we moved little to the right to connect our lines and continued up and building breastworks in a very substantial manner. During the night we were called out and massed for charge on the rebel works. We repain- ed in line for about an hour, but no order forward, We then moved back and finished the night in building breast works and also on the 18th. The 26th was Sunday. We got out at 4 o'clock and after breakfast we prepared for in- spectlon, after which divine services were called out at o'clock the 27th and details were made to dig wells and police the camp. It rained this after noon. We were still at work pushing out breast works and digging zig-zag ditches to the more advanced works, for it was next to impossible to get to the outer works by daylight unless by dig ging these ditches for the Johnnies swept the fields with shot and shell, and when in the ditches we were safer.
 The 29th we were up at 4 a. m. The 9th corps was ordered out to be inspected by General Wright, after which we struck tents and started on march for the Welden railroad. Arrived at Reams Station at 8 o'clock a. m. We lay down till six o'clock June 30th then got break fast. The railroad was torn up by our men and the station burnt, but not with out trouble from the rebels, and many were shot, on both sides. Tore up about eight or ten miles. AS this was one of the sources for supplies for Petersburgh you must know that they fought against it. We felled trees onto the track and made it as uncomfortable as possible for the Johnnies. Then we started back to camp near the Jerusalem plank road" and lay down for the night.
