CAPT. tWELcH AND INDIANS
a;'. ',eQMAkE HIT WITH INDIANA
.iRx EWING LEWIS.

Mercedes, Texas, Aug. 15.-Capt. A.
E. Welch and the boys of Co. A took
a hike to Llano Grande this morning
and visited the guardsmen Of Indiana,
Minnesota and Nebraska. Capt.
Welch lived in Indiana as lad and
he met several officers this morning
who were acquainted in HillsborO, his
old home.
News that Capt. Welch was an
adopted son of the Sioux nation
spread through Officers Row in the
Second regiment of Indiana infantry
and everyone, from the colonel to the
second lieutenants, wanted to meet
him and learn all about it. A young
woman of Mercedes was very much
disappointed when she learned that
he had no visiting cards with his In
dian name of Mato Watakpe on them.
She said She wanted to put one in her
memory book.
indians Kept Busy.
The two Indians in the company
also caused a lot of interest in the
Hoosier regiments and Ben Cloud
and White Feather were kept busy
answering questions. Some of the
questioners we're evidently little
hazy as to what a Sioux Indian was.
One young infantryman inquired Of
Cloud: ''How long since you saw
Villa?' and another asked him if he
was for Carranza or Villa?
The seven-mile hike today was fin
ished with the boys still full of steam.
The Bismarck men are husky and are
apparently better prepared for the
life on the border than most of the
state guardsmen in this vicinity. As
soon as they arrived they started a
program of hikes, which most of the
state troops lead up to gradually. An
other proof of their experience Is the
shape they have gotten their quarters
into in the brief time they have been
in Mercedes.
At noon today there was rain like
a young cloudburst, but so admirable
is the drainage Of the company street
and Of: the whole regimental camp
ground that q half hour after the rain
stopped, the ground was practically
dry.
Bridge Ditch.
The ditch along Officers Row is so
deep that several of the companies
have spanned it with ornamental
bridges, made Of planks and twisted
willow. Company Ms bridge is paint
ed white and is as picturesque as q
comic opera bridge waiting for a
milkmaid soubrette to come across It
singing. But the bridge is as stout
as it is ornamental.
Capt. Welch this morning told me
of his confidence in the condition of
his men. 81 would trust them in ac-
tion tomorrow he said. "1hey are
sound and hard enough icr real serv-
ice right now. They obey orders
without question and in every way
they are, in my belief, in remarkable
shape for state gua:ds. They take
their long hikes with laugh. They
are contented here and you hear ~
mollycoddle cri :Icisms when they get
together in the evening. | am proud
Of Co. A."

Saturday, December 2, I9I6.
Astrologers read this as an unfayorable
day since the Sun and Mercury are
strongly evil in aspect and Jupiter,
Saturn, Neptune and Venus are all ad-
verse.
1t is a day in which to follow routine
affairs. All initiative should be avoided.
Under this planetary government
mental instability is common and busi-
ness Judgment untrustworthy
Politicians and others who seek the
influence of persons in places of power
should not risk their chances while this
rule prevails
Newspapers and periodicals come under
sway indicating changes in manage
ment and ownership, increase of ad-
Vertising and success in exploitation,
where national resources are concerned.
The rule is not lucky one under which
to sign leases or contracts.
Love affairs have a sinister direction
indicating increase of susceptibility on
the part of men and women, divorces
and scandals.
There is a forbidding sign for journeys.
especially those on the sea.
Saturn is in a place read as likely to
Increase the number of suicides.
All through this month women will oc-
cupy much attention, the seers predict.
The public prints will give unusual space
to questions relating to their domestic
as well as their political problems.
A month Of mild weather Is indicated
by the stars, but it will be followed by
period Of violent storms.
In France public dissatisfaction will
be prevalent during the winter, for the
passage of Neptune through Leo is be-
lieved to indicate changes in sentiment
on important questions and a strange
spiritual awakening.
Peace will be discussed from a new
point of view. in the next few months,
it is predicted, but nothing will he ac-
complished except that sentiment will
begin to crystalline.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is have the
forecast of q troublesome year. Tact ana
diplomacy win pay both in business and
domestic relations.
Children born on this day may be
quick-tempered and headstrong. These
subjects of Sagittarius are usually self
reliant, energetic and honest
