out number in the mutiny and in many
other Indian battlefelds; the Ninth and
Eleventh Bengal Lancers whose horses
are the envy of all the old Second
Sikhs Of the Punjab frontier force,
who, when a British regiment was
hurled back at the battle Of Ahmed
Khel, advanced through the retiring
English and captured the position.
The cavalry regiments that com
from the Punjab look upon themselves
as being the finest light cavalry in the
world. They are mounted on smallish
light weight, well-bred horses, which
can not only get through lot of work
but keep in condition in Indifferent
provender. Every one Of the troopers
or "Sowars." as they are called, is
he enlists he has to bring with him a
sum, which varies according to the
corps Of from 500 to SITS, to pay for
his sword, saddle and horse. Not
few Of the native officers are entitled to
be called "shazada" (prince) many Of
them are rich men and large land
owners. To serve gives that "izzat"
military glory and the sword to them
Is much mightier than the pen.
The infantry are physically fine and
are bigger, heavier men than are
found in the cavalry, some Of the tug
of-war teams and regiment wrestlers
being of extraordinary strength. All
Of them are agriculturists and the out
of-doors simple life they lead makes
their eyesight extremely keen, Incl
dentally accounting for their being fine
shots. The mountain batteries are re-
cruited from much the same class OF
men as the infantry, but no weed can
get into a mountain battery. 1t Is no
joke lifting a gun onto 16-hand mule.
The natives describe service in
the cavalry as 'shazada-ki-nouki"
(prince's service) Of the infantry as
"noukri" (service), but in the mountain
battery as "sheitan-ki- i-noukri" (dev-
IFS seryice)

A Great Distinction.-A garrulous
attorney was arguing technical case
before a judge in Illinois. He had
rambled on in such a desultory way
that it became very difficult to follow
his train Of thought. and the judge
had yawned ominously once or twice.
Whereupon the long-winded lawyer,
with trace Of sarcasm, said:
Il hope, your honor, I am not un-
duly trespassing upon the time Of the
court"
My friend" observed the Judge,
there is considerable difference be-
tween trespassing on time and en-
croaching on eternity"
Most Positive Proof.-Little Janet
came running into the house one
morning, sobbing. Throwing herself
in her mothers arms, she cried:
God doesn't love me any more,
mother"
why, Janet, DEAR" said the moth
er. "Why do you say that? God
loves everyone"
NO, mother, he doesn't love me- y

not. l tried him with daisy"

How He Took His-English men,
of-war have no icemaking machines
on board, as do our ships, and every
body knows how the English fail to
understand us on the subject Of the
use Of ice especially in our drinks.
An English officer was aboard one OF
our ships Of the Atlantic fleet, and,
on being served with an ice drink,
commented on the delights Of having
cool water aboard. The American
officer responded with an offer Of a
small cake of ice. which was sent the
following morning. Meeting the Eng
lishman ashore week later, the
American asked him II he had enjoyed
the ice.
Enjoy it. old top? Why, do you
know, that was the first cold bawth
I've had since I left England"

WHAT BAD EYES MEAN
An Important Matter That is Given
But Little Attention.

An Important Matter That is Given
But Little Attention.
Many people think but little Of the
consequences Of bad eyes, unless blind
ness or very sore eyes are threatened
or present. Such conditions are ter
rible, but, according to the Journal OF
the American Medical association, they
do not threaten the people or state as
much as other eye diseases that are
not apparently pitiable.
People who are blind or whose eyes
are hopelessly diseased are usually
taken care of in institutions and do
not become a menace to the public
But school children whose eyes look
all right, but who have certain dis
eases or defects that render study and
education a hardship may become q
danger to other people.
A school child born with an unde-
tected cataract or very near sighted.
so that he cannot see the blackboard
soon falls behind his class and be-
comes discouraged with his school
life"
A child with far sight or astigma-
tism or some other defects Of the eyes
pain and he suffers from headache,
by which, when he studies his eyes
will contract dislike for books, study
and education, and will perhaps be
punished or kept after school for some
thing for which he is really not to
blame.
Such children, their educational pro-
gress embarrassed or almost stopped
by reason Of uncorrected physical de-
fects. soon acquire a loathing for edu-
cation and all that education repre-
sents and, the seeds Of idleness and
irresponsbility being sown, may de-
velop into criminals and dependents.
No flight of fancy is required to
transform such children into the nom
supporting "ne'er do WELL" the wan
dering and menacing tramp or the
idle pleasure-seeking and misery
finding prostitute.
Bad eyes that hinder education mean
a distaste for school. Idleness, truan-
cy, bad associates and habits, drink
ing, gambling. stealing, murder, pris-
on and the gallows may follow.
This is no fancy picture.
1t can be proved by observation and
statistics.
Visit the criminal courts the REFORM
atories, the jails and prisons. and
how often do you find lawbreakers
from the ranks Of the educated.
Some. it is true, are natural crimi-
nails. the offspring of criminal parents,
but even here there must have been n
beginning, proceeding some genera
tions back, perhaps from some ances,
tor who was deprived of proper train.
ing and education, possibly by bad
eyes.
The great mass of criminals, how
ever, are not born offenders. but be-
come so through associations and lack
Of cutivating and ennobling educa :
ton. which is, OF course, practically
impossible if bad eyes or other defects
prevent suitable education
Education is one of the greatest bar
riers to crime and poverty.
II is therefore essential that our
children. the coming generation. should
be we'll educated, and that bad eyes
or any other physical or mental de-
ed in order that the acqirement Of ar
education may become as easy and
agreeable as possible.

He Landed a Job.-There is q GER
tain middle-aged and old-fashionet
business man who is little doubtful
whether he or the other carried of
the honors Of war in an interview
given to a smart young man.
The smart young man was applying
for berth.

you've called on me before, but not
on your present errand. The first
time you represented Up-to-Date

said you were business doctors. And
after that you came as the publicity
expert of the Newest in Ads. Com

The young man reluctantly admitted
that they were.
yet, after coming here three times
to offer to teach us our business,
when your concerns go down you cool

The optimist countered that easily.

German Gas Bombs.-The asphyXi-
ating gas which the Germans are re-
ported to be using, it is explained by
a well known Philadelphia chemist, is
probably bromine in liquid form. This
could be placed in a receptacle. and
when liberated by an explosion would
evaporate at ordinary temperatures,
and being a very heavy gas, would
fall to the ground and penetrate the
trenches. It's pungt int, acrid fumes
would make this very unpleasant for
the entrenched enemy.
The chemist explained that bromine.
since ii will sink by it's own weight
as gas, is often used to rid houses
Of vermin, such as rats or to kill
wild animals which live underground.

Fathers on the rampage,

Fathers on the rampage,
And mothers feeling blue;
Our cotton goes for nothing,
While they pick 1t over too;
We used to ride in autos;
Buggies were too slow;
Now we've took to walkin',
Since cotton got SO low.
We chillen used to ramble,
About the country DER,
Not dreaming Of the scrambler
That was comm to our door;
We rode till gasoline gave out,
And then went back for mo-;
But now we're all a walkin'
Since cotton got so low.
The sheriff, he's comm
With his papers on our land,
The mules and cows and horses,
And everything OH hand;
No more we'll ride in autos;
o carts are not too slow,
For now we've took to walkin'
Since cotton got so low.
The country's busted now for sure;
Nothing doing on the farm;
Merchants can't collect a debt,
And the banks, they take alarm
Look around and size 'em up;
No matter where you go,
The peoples took to walkin'
Since cotton got so low.
Father says the English spinners
Are smiling broadly now,
At the present price Of cotton,
For they've beat us he'll allow,
They are ridin' in their autos,
Though we've took to walkin'
Since cotton got 80 low.
That the legislatures foolish
And didn't do a thing
To help the farmin' in'trests.
When the price went down kerbing
Goodby to all our pleasures;
No autos now to go,
We sure must do some walkin'
Since cotton got so low.
Father says the state warehouse
Is the farmers only plan;
To raise the price Of cotton,
And the mortgage on our land;
Then We'll ride again in autos,
When the price begins to soar;
But durn it, now we're walkin'
Since cotton got so low.
That, he calls our only hope
To get better price;
And what he thinks Of other dope
Is not so very nice;
Here's hopin' that It's comm
And soon we all will know,
For we're tired Of walkin'
Since cotton got so low.

Humorous department

Ancient Humor.-Half a century
ago that form Of humor known as the
conundrum was thought to be very
amusing and one Of the highest forms
Of wit. And the man or woman who
had q store of new ones always ready
to PROFOUND was considered a most
entertaing person. OF course. every
body knows what conundrum Is,
for even today it creeps up OCCASION
ally in some remote district. But the
really old ones that delighted our
grandfathers are for the most part
buried in oblivion. Did you ever hear
Of the one about the watch dog?
This of the brand Of 1850, and is pref
ty good Of its kind:
why is a watch dog bigger at night
than in the morning?" Because he
Is let out at night and taken in in the
morning"
This one was a great favorite Of the
beaux Of 1860, who wanted to flatter
the ladies':
when Is a bonnet not q bonnet?"
When it becomes a pretty wo-
man."
Here are some more Of about the
same period that may interest you:
What's the difference between a
donkey and a postage stamp? "One
you lick with q stick and the other
you stick with lick"
What was the greatest feat in the
eating line ever known" THAT re-
corded Of the man who began by bolt
ing a door. after which he threw up
a window and then sat down and
swallowed the whole story"
why is a little dogs tail like the
heart Of a tree? Because 1t Is
farthest from the bark"
(which would you rather do-look
like a greater fool than you are or be
a greater fool than you look? Get the
person choose, and then say, That's
impossible.")
What do lawyers do when they
die?" Lie still"
What is the most inconvenient
time for a train to start?" 1880, as
1t is ten to one you don't catch It."
