San Antonio, Tex, May 25.-His-
tory does not record anywhere a rec
ord superior to that which has been
made by the Ninth United States
Cavalry, now stationed at Fort Sam
Houston, the military post of this
city, upon which the eyes of the CIV
ilized world have been focused for
the past several months. This cav
airy, while at the post, has been
watched, scrutizined and criticised
by all nations, kindreds and people,
as we'll as by the most experienced
critics, but on every occasion the
verdict has been, Well done, good
and faithful servant" 1t was in
Golfers Weekly of several issues
ago that this regiment, which gained
such a reputation as fighters, first,
during the wars on the frontier with
the Indians, and, secondly, during
the Spanish-American War, was
styled the Fighting Ninth" En-
camped in this historic Alamo City,
made famous by the clear, sparkling
water of the river that forms a SER
pent as it winds it's way through
the heart of the city, where sixteen
suspension bridges are used within
the city limits, it is pictured to the
civilized wirld in its true and mo-
bic form.
This is the first time since the
close of the Spanish-American war
that these men. who bear the record
of the best fighters" in the United
States Army, are given the common

CLOTHES BRUSHES MAY BE
COVERED WITH PRETTY BROCADE

Very often on the dressing table the
clothes brush, with a plain wooden han
die, is the only unattractive article to be
seen. Silver-backed brushes always have
bristles too soft to be of practical use,
and the plain ones with stiff bristles are
within the reach of even. the modest
purse.
good way to bring them into har-
mony with the surroundings is to cover
the backs of such brushes with brocade
or broche silk.
Sandpaper the wood so it will retain
nucilaRe. Have the silk cut the exact
size and shape of the brushs back and
paste Il on very smoothly. Finish the
edge, after it is dry, with narrow bor-
der of gimp or galioon.
Flowered silk to match the coloring
in the other toilet belongings is best.
A brush treated III this way makes an
attractive gift, and one that would be
appreciated by the dainty woman.

The contest subject for the weeks
work, whether a puzzle or a debate, is
usually published Sunday and Monday
mornings only. When any exception is
made to this rule due notice is always
given. The contest closes at noon on
Friday, and prize winners are announced
the following Sunday and the correct
solution of the puzzle is also given on
that day.
The usual puzzle prizes are offered for

Neither age nor sex bars The Herald
readers from the contest, for everybody
is invited to participate in the fun,
whether they are subscribers or nonsub-

Solutions are considered in the order
of their receipt. but this does not imply
that first comers always win, for many
has been the week when the last were

awarding of prizes was concerned, for
the reason that those who took more
time to think the matter over arrived
at a more correct conclusion.
