A BRITISH WAR HERO

London, Sept. 18.-General Sir Hor-
ace Lockwood Smith -Dorrien, hero of
the historic retreat of the English
from Belgium, has long been known
as one of the best fighting officers
in the British army. From his entry
into the service in 1876 down to and
through the Boar war, he saw almost
constant service in the field, extend
ing from Zululand to the northwest
frontier of India.
Educated at Harrow, he Joined when
13 years old the Sherwood Foresters.
At the disastrous battle of Isandula,
in 1879, he was one OF the few Off
Gers who, by his athletic powers as
sumner and swimmer, escaped the Zulu
warriors, and lived to take part in the
battle of Uuludi, when Cetewayo was
finally disposed Of He was mention
ed in dispatches, and since then hon
ors have fallen fast upon him.
General Smith-Dorrien was in the
Egyptian campaign of 1882, in which
year he raised and commanded a
corps Of mounted infantry, and in
1855, with his mounted infantry, did
good work at Suakin. Returning tc
Egypt in 1898, he took part in the
Nile expedition, and was present a.
the battle of Khartoum, and in the
subsequent operations in the Soudan.
in the Boer war General Smith-Dor
rien was mainly instrumental II
bringing about the capture Of Cronjt
and his army. BY his attack npor
| tha Beers on the Modder river, thj
Gordons, the Canadians, and the roya
engineers secured strong position
from which they enfiladed the enemy''
trenches, and by preventing then

county contributed s2l5, 1850 or less
than one-half as much or for every dol
lar that Santa Fe county taxpayers
put up. Bernalillo county taxpayers
had to put up s240. The inequality
! is still more striking as to Sandoval
county, which raised only $74.627.s6,
or less than one-eighth Of Bernalillo
county's contribution and less than
one-third of Santa Fe eounty's quota.
Taos county is still stingier, with a
total of s7O.26774. In other words
FOR every dollar that Taos taxpayers
put up, those of Bernalillo county put
up eight dollars and half and those
of Santa Fe county three dollars and
half.
There are only two other counties
that have put up more than half a
million dollars for those two years:
Chaves with $549, 1902 and Colfax
with $51S,17412.
There are only three counties that
have put up less than 100000, Sando-
val $74 4,627S6, Taos $30,267.74 and Rio
AIriba $97,S7O.97.
Grant county is In the $400, 900 to
100000 class with $421,424.69. Three
counties are in the $500, 900 to $4OO, 900
class: San Miguel which stands fifth
among the taxpaying counties with
$3a1, 1852; Dona Ana sixth 1855.
529.72; Eddy seventh $321, ,90S.25
Nine counties paid in between $780,

Fe county belongs with $245,156.90 or
less than Luna county with one-fifth
of the population and which contrib
uted $261, ,1OS.70. Socorro county did
a little better than Santa Fe with

A CHICAGO YOUTH SHOWS RE.
MARkABlE APTITUDE IN
FIGURES

Chicago, Sept. 17.-Here is certainly
the swiftest boy in the world. His
name is Arthur A. Gamble The well
known and long established chained
lightning is a joke beside Arthur.
Just at present he is out in the Uni
versity of California showing them all
up at the summer session. Psycholo-
glc, geometric, etc, sharks many times
his age are running around in circles
trying to catch hold of his agile men
tality. They can figure everything
out but Arthur.
Young Gamble counts in figures
much like the harassed Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter counts in dollars For instance,
he told them the other day at meet
ing of the psychology class that it had
been 4,351, ,464,001 seconds since the
signing of the Declaration of Independ-
ence. Talked it off Just like that.
Took him only 81 seconds.
The little task of multiplying 4,9S7
by 1853 was performed in 20 seconds
and yielded the answer S,399,121,
which, after agitating the cerebral con-
Yolutions of several ordinary mortals
fjr about Is tines 29, was found to
be correct.
A race with an adding machine was
another stunt which didn't seem to
raise very much perspiration on the
Gamble brow. DR.. Warney Brown,

Foundation at the university, before
