ADMIRED HIS BRAVERY.
A Nervy British Boy and His Rscep.
ton by the Enemy.

Mere boys have often shown the
greatest heroism in the face of peril,
both on and off the battlefield How
many know the story Of the little Brit
ish bugler who accompanied Colonel
Rennie's column in the disastrous adj
vance against General Jackson's in
trenchments at New Orleans hum
dred years ago.
A whitening fire of cannon and mus
kerry greeted the British troops as
they charged the American redoubt--a
fire that for deadly accuracy has rare
ly been equaled.
The young bugler at once climbed
into small tree and straddled Il limb.
From this conspicuous position he con-
tinued to sound the vibrant call to the
charge. Cannon balls and bullets killed
scores of men beneath him and even
tore away branches of the tree in
which he sat. But above the thunder
of the artillery, the rattling Of mus
kerry and all the din of strife the shrill
music, blown with all the power Of the
little fellows lungs, rose unceasing.
Colonel Rcnnie and most of the regi-
mental officers fell. mortally wounded;
the shattered ranks began to fall back
But the bugler still blew the charge
with undiminished vigor.
At last, when the British had en-
tirely abandoned the field, one of the
American soldiers ran out from the
lines. took the youngster prisoner and
brought him into camp. Great was the
boys establishment when. instead Of
treating him roughly, according to his
expectations, the warm hearted south
ern soldiers, who had observed his gal
lantry with admiration, actually en-
braced him. Officers and men Wed
with each other in acts of kindness to-
ward this brave young Briton.-Youth's
Companion.

ELEPHANTS AS WORKERS.
Without Them 5urma's Teakwood
Trade Would Languish.


Since 1886 the export of teakwood
from Burma has increased enormous
ly; but, despite the phenomenally high
price of the wood, it would not be
profitable to work it, even in these
days, without the elephant. In this
trade the Burmese elephants, massive
animals whose strength Is almost I'M
limited. are seen at their best as beasts
OF burden.
From the time when the forest areas
are purchased, before the trees are
felled, to the hour of export on the
ocean going vessels at The port on the
Indian ocean the elephant Is the main
worker. Far away in the malarial
swamps and almost impehetrable jun
giles this majestic beast first tramps
down a passage through the under
growth. Then, guided by his indian
keepers prong, the elephant com
mences his arduous labor OF dragging
the felled trees to the river, whence
they are conveyed by raft down conn
try to the sawmills.
These enormous trees. unttimmed
and cumbrous, are sometimes dragged
up and down the iungi.. and mounrafn
forest pathways en- route to the river
with rare precision. At The mills
again the work Of packing aad stack
ing Is done exclusively b.. elephants.
When the trees arc sawed into lengths
the elephants do the piliNy, bringing
the huge planks from the sheds and
arranging them in an orderly manner
in numbered piles.

ORIGIN OF THE INDIANS.
Straight Black Hair and Broad Skull
Indicate Asiatic Descent.
ON the Chicago Record Herald

From the Chicago Record Herald.
There has been revival of interest
lately in the origin Lf American Indians
and the way in which the western conti-
nent was peopled. Our great-grandfath-
ers were satisfied to lay the achievement
to those mysterious lost tribes" of Is
rael; but the scientific spirit of today de-
mands more plausible theories. These
are many and varied, but the old belief
that the ancestors of the Indians crossed
the straits and narrow seas from north
ern Asia to Alaska remains the most
probable of all
The Eskimos of America are almost
Identical with some tribes Of eastern ST.
IBERIA. The straight, uncompromising
black hair of the Indian is found else
where only In Asia, and his broad skull
is likewise an Asiatic trademark. AS for
means Of getting across. the voyage is
often made over Bering straits today,
and in the mild climate before the las,
glacial period the trip would have been
easier still. Only the other day two
sampans, or native boats, arrived on the
coast Of California whose occupants
claimed to have made the passage from
Japan. Without doubt there was a Ger.
tain European alloy in the Indian race.
even before the days of Columbus. The
blond Eskimos found In the far north
bear witness to this. Morse royers who
reached the New England coast in the
tenth century must have fused in some
measure with the natives, and Aztec leg
ends Of white. bearded men from the east
cahnot be dismissed as idle tales.
