see that the proper details are there to
instruct them.

Commander Dempf has deemed it ad-
yisable again at this time to issue an
order compelling all members OF the
battalion to attend drills Regularly or
martial. He has again let 1t be known
that he will not stand for any irregular
attendance. and intends to bring alb
sentees up before a summary court
martial for trial.
He has started off right away on his
campaign, and papers are now being
prepared in the cases of several men
who we're absent last Thursday night.
Mr.. Dempf takes the position that when
the men Joined the battalion they Joined
for a serious purpose. that is. to train
themselves to be fitted for fighters in
the naval service in time of war. In
less they attend drills regularly. and
follow the courses outlined. they cannot
those who are trying to get ahead.
Congress intended that the enlisted
men should attend regularly, and
has provided the militia with a law
which permits a man upon conviction
to be sentenced to either fine and i'm
prisonment, or both. Several men have
already been sentenced to Imprisonment
and to pay the fine for absenteeism
since Capt Dempf has been in charge.
but their sentences remain al this time
suspended until they miss just one night.
when they will be turned over to
the United States marshal for execution
Of the sentence.
At any rate, the commander is going
to insist that the men attend. and to
show that he is serious about 1t. unless
a man can furnish good reason. such
as sickness. death or work. he will be
brought up before court within a
few days after the act was committed.
1t is expected that the papers in the
cases of those who were absent without
excuse last Thursday night will be
ready by next Thursday.

The Putumayo Indians.

From the New York Evening Post.
The Indians of the Putumayo district of
Peru, whose brutal abuse by the rubber
companies has aroused the world. are de-
scribed in a recent issue of Folklore by
Capt. T. w. Whiffen, who apparently
lived among them before they were SUBJ
jected to the white mans kindly atten-
ton According to Capt. Whiffen they
are a pretty hard lot themselves. For ex-
ample, they kill the second twin at birth,
and the mother always browns sicIsiy
or deformed child. They kill their prison.
ers and eat them. In fact they were still
in the stone age when Capt Whiffen
studied them, and. contrary to the opin-
ion Of Or. Martin, had never been any
higher I'm the evolutionary scale. Their
only social function was a sort OF dance,
to which the participants and audience
were summoned by the beating Of drums
SO loud that it could be heard for a dis
lance of eight or ten miles. One OF the
curious customs described by the captain
was their method OF using tobacco. The
leaf was made into "treacly decoction"
and this was licked ceremoniaily"
by friends in the tribal palaver. and also
as a sort of binder-like an oath-in max
ing a contract.

Revenue Cutter Service

Officials in charge of the revenue cut
ter service alarmed at the rapid increase
in the number of cases of typhoid fever
in Baltimore and vicinity, have ordered
typhoid vaccination for all men of the
service stationed there. While no cases
have developed among the officers and
men of the service making their head
quarters there, the health officers have
determined to take no chances, and as a
precaution the officers and crew OF the
cutter Apache and the men stationed at
the repair depot at Arundel Cove have
been ordered to take treatment in the
nature of vaccination to make them I'M
mune to the disease. The treatment will
be started at once. 1t Is probable that
typhoid vaccination will be extended to
the othes&saaaeis~ of the service, but no
action looking to this has yet been start
ed.

deavored to float the vessel. but without
success and the cutter Acushnet from
Woods Hole, Mass, was called upon for

hour to pull the vessel into deep water

Concerning these words. cast into the oell

there has been considerable controversy.
but there will be no more The mystery
has been solved and now we know all
about the most famous bell in our his
tory.
The words were a coincidence. an un-
whiting prophecy of the use to which
the bell would be put and which would
render IL famous for all time. Ine Dell

than in the recognized lemon belt, and
that he was putting out 10000 trees,
with the assurance that they would catch
the cold weather. when there was cold
weather in the spring. while the trees
were in dormant state and would thus
pass through a frost unframed. though
trees in a normally milder situation
might have their buds out and be badly
injured.
One of the most curious freaks of the
frost was shown in a grated avocado
tree. 1t had been grated with two va
rieties of avocado on the same root
stock. so that the two halves OF the
tree were really different varieties. One
half was killed back to the main stem
by the frost and the other did not lose
leaf.

of the enemy from the rear, deserted
his command and left Lieut.. Bryant
with the outfit to cover the escape
of Capt. Cornish to Washington. When
the captain left his outfit nothing more
