A BAND CONCERT FOR THREE
When Government Decides to Give
Music It Is Given Regardless
of Size of Audience.

When the government of the Dis
trict of Columbia decides to give
band concert it gives it. or course,
Indictment weather might cause it to
be abandoned, but if it simply happens
that there seems to be no demand for
a concert, that is no reason in the
estimation of the authorities that have
Jurisdiction over such matters why
the concert should not be given.
1t happened that band concert was
scheduled sometime ago. Ordinarily
there is a good turnout of citizens,
chiefly in carriages and motor cars, ITO
enjoy the excellent music which the
bands assigned to these concerts dis
course. But, as fate and the weather
man would have it, cold wave came
down from the Canadian country or
somewhere else in the arctic region
and it struck Washington just before
the concert was scheduled. The wealth
err was not Interestingly cold, but it
was chilly and forbidding, and when
the band struck up the first lively
tune which floated mockingly on the
frigid air, there was just three audi
tors who had braved the weather and
come to listen.
The band. apparently believing that
others would come, continued the pro-
gram, but no more came, and the lead
} er simply continued the program to
the melodious end with as much sang
froid as if he had been performing to
large and appreciative audience.

OLD FORT JEFFERSON DAVIS
Most Hiatoric Post of the Southwest
Frontier Is Soon to Pass Out
of Existence.

Col J. T. Reed of Ell Paso, Tex,
grew quite reminiscent when in Wash
ington not long since, in speaking OF
old Fort Jeff Davis. The name JEFF
Is not very often used in connection
with this old fort now. 1t was estab-
lished in 1854, when JEFF Davis was
secretary of war, from that time to
1857. Recently the 391 acres Of Fort
jeff Davis were put up at auction, and
this most historic post of the south
west frontier will pass out of existence
as a fort With this fort are con-
nected the names of Sherman, Sheri-
dan, Lawton, Shafter, Miles, Crook
and many other men who won dist1nc-
ton as Indian fighters and who are
connected with the history of the
bloody war trails of the Indians
through the west. Mr. Reed said:
"The buildings are still in good
state of preservation. The post is
situated in a picturesque part of the
Upper Rio Grande border region OF
Texas. 1t is at an altitude of 5000
feet, and the reservation is bounded
on one side by precipitous cliffs, from
whose heights bands of Indians fire.
quently made attacks upon the gar
rison. To reach the top of the rocky
cliffs soldiers were obliged to make a
long detour, and the time that was
lost in doing this usually enabled the
Indians to escape before counter at
tack could be made upon them.
Fort Davis occupied a strategic
position" continued Colonel Reed,
being on the route of overland travel
between San Antonio and California.
The last stand of the Apache Indians
before they were driven out of Texas
into Arizona and New Mexico was
made in it's vicinity. In those days
and for many years before every stage
and wagon train that made the trip
over the long and desolate route be-
tween San Antonio and points in the
far west was accompanied by an es-
cort of soldiers. 1t was while sta
toned at Fort Davis that General
Shafter, who then held the rank OF
captain, was given the title Of old
Bull Shafter, a nickname descriptive
of his tenacity of purpose and Won
derful powers Of endurance when on
the trail of marauding Indians"

FIND NEW USE FOR ALCOHOL
prof Hill of London Invents Appa'
ratus for Use In Treatment OF
Pneumonia Cases.

London.-Prof. Leonard Erskine
Hill of the London hospital has in
vented an apparatus for use In the
treatment of pneumonia which IS e1'
pected to prove of great service.
For some time," says Prof. HILL
at has been recognized that the best
way to supply alcoholic stimulant 10
the laboring heart in pneumonia Is
by way of the lungs in the form OF
vapor. MY apparatus arranges for
mixed vapor Of oxygen, water and al
cohol, to be carried directly to the
lungs, whence it reaches the heart
from the pulmonary veins. Thence
the stimulant is carried directly to the
heart muscle itself by the coronary
arteries"
Because there is not sufficient un-
diseased lung tissue left to breathe
with. and because the heart thereby
fails. the judicious administration OF
heart stimulants so as to tide THIS
organ over until the lung symptoms
subside is the chief point in the treat
ment.
By using Prof Hills apparatus the
heart can be reached by stimulant
much more accurately and quickly
than If the alcohol were given in the
ordinary way.
