HINDU WON EN-.
Whatever Their Station They Are
Gracious and Picturesque.

Whatever Their Station They Are
Gracious and Picturesque.
There are, of course. all kinds Of
Hindus. They range from the lowest
levels of superstition and ignorance to
high attachments Of intelligence and
culture. But in one respect they are
all alike. Never once" says Mr..
Begbie, have l detected the very
smallest smirch Of vulgarity either in
manners or in dress" The Hindu may
believe in 100000 gods, he may
hold that the world is fiat and that
his souls salvation is endangered
by the shadow of a European, but
make picture either in the unhand-
seled jungle or on the platform Of a
railway terminus"
But the Indian woman is the crown
of her creation, as, of course, all
women are everywhere. She may be
unable 10 read or write, she may give
food to idols and believe that her god
or devil rides around the village at
night on a plaster horse or a mud ele-
plant, but she will be modest and
gracious in her manner, and her dress
will be as beautiful as the flowers Of
the field" No matter how savage
and heather. how ignorant and stupid
these people may be, they have no.
bility in their manner and a lovelinass
in their raiment."-San Francisco Ar
gOnaut.

AN ANTl0UATED GUN.

"EI Camille" at West Point, a Relic of
the Mexican War.
Among the old guns from past wars
on Trophy point there is one that is
fondly remembered by every graduate
Of the West Point Military academy.
1t is Gel Camilo," literally the camel"
a relic of the Mexican war, but dating
far back of that.
This Anticipated piece of ordnance,
which is three parts silver and painted
a light green, bears it's name and the
royal coat of arms Of Spain over an
inscription relating that it was the
property of the regiment Of the Golden
Fleece, commissioned under Ferdinand
and Isabella at the time when Column
discover a new world. 1t would be
interesting to know what the Spanish
grandees would have thought If they
could have foreseen that the very can
non which probably Numbered god
speed to the explorer would one day be
captured by the unborn nation of the
undiscovered continent to which Co
lumbus was bound. The ancient gun
was probably carried to Mexico as
part of the armament OF a Spanish
ship and many years later was pressed
into service in the Mexican army,
where the "sinews of war" were al
ways at a premium. 1t was taken
at Monterey by the Americans and
sent to West Point as the most appro-
pirate place for such an interesting
relic-New York Press.

Boy Run Down by sicycle.-Carl
Wicklund. 6-year-old son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. Wicklund, 424 Ninth street,
was painfully injured Monday after
noon while on his way to Irving
school. He was crossing Fourth ave-
nue. at Eleventh street when a man on
bicycle ran into him, knocking him
to the pavement. Several passersby
were called by the man and he told
them TO take the boy to a doctor.
Thereupon, he mounted his wheel and
rode away, failing to leave his name
with those in care Of the injured lad.
Carl was badly injured about the head
and shoulders and for a time it was
thought that results would be serious.
His condition today is improved.
