NEGROES RODE AS HEROES.
COLONEL OF TENTH CAVALRY
TELLS OF CHASE FOR VILLA.
The Troopers Smiled and Joked at
the fortunes of snowstorFas and
Sandstorms on the Me&B
can Deserts.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The story of
the chase of the hard riding Tenth
Cavalry, Negroes, after Villa and his
bandits through the desert of Chihua-
hua was told by the colonel of that
regiment before the Senate subcom-
mittee on military affairs today. Col.
W. c. Brown, undeterred by the mill
tary lockjaw" that has kept back ex-
p%ressions from most of Pershing's Of
%ficers, gave his in boot and
saddle language.
We rode fifty miles the first day
and fifty-eight miles the second" the
colonel said. I'VE rode through snow
storms and sandstorms. Every night
it was freezing cold and my men had
only their light khaki uniforms. The
officers had the same lot as the men.
| used my saddle for a pillow every
night. We were short of rations and
water. 1t was torture.
Smiled Through All Hardships.
But l want to say that my Negro
troops stood that test in wonderful
shape. They were always happy and
~contented. No hardships could drive
their broad smiles and their Jokes
away. They sang and chatted through
it all. No white troops could have
stood the ordeal as they stood it.
Not one dropped out.
THE suffering of the horses was
pitiful. We lost 10 per cent of them
and would have lost many more ex-
cept for the skill of my men as horse
men. The poor animals were on a
third of the full corn ration and there
was ne feed in the long dry grass that
we found along the way. The men
dismounted in the bad places and led
their mounts, and they were as care
full of them as it was possible to be.
Mexicans Scattered Like Quail.
I'VE had only fight. That was
at Aguas Calientes. After a 5O-mile
march we ran into a Villa band and we
chased them fifteen miles. We killed
forty of them and l don't know how
many we wounded. They ran like
quails. They hid in the long grass
and got away in the ravines. II
wasn't fighting. It was hunting.
I'VE got absolutely no aid from the
Mexicans. They lied to us, misdirect.
ed us and in every way helped Villas
c~ut-throats. The Carranzista comman,
der was a milk and water sort of fel
low without will or ability to do any.
thing. The Mexicans took our money
but would not accept u receipts. ]
had to spend $1,000 of my own money
to get provisions for my men and
horses.
The only reason Villa escaped us
was because we had no aid in tracing
him. The men he had plundered
turned against us. We were right on
his heels, but he had the advantage
of knowing the country and that lei
him ave his hide"

"a GOOD PRESCRIPTION FOR
DAILY USE"

Don't worry; seek peace and pursue
it. Don't hurry, too swift arrives as
tardily as too slow. Sleep and rest
abundantly. The best physicians are
DR.. Diet, DR.. Quiet and DR.. Merriman.
Spend less nervou energy than you
make; work like a man, but don't be
worked to death. Be cheerful; a light
heart lives long. Think only healthful
thoughts. "As a man thinketh in his
heart, SO is he" Avoid passion and ex-
citement; a moments anger may be
fatal. Associate with healthy people;
health, as well as disease, is contag.
ious. Don't carry the whole world on
your shoulders, far less the universe;
trust in the good Lord. Never de.
spair; lost hope is a fatal disease.

Where the Darkles Danced.

Near the piano a circle of a double
thickness of the linoleum had been
worn through by heels of the clogging
darkies, and all around the wall the
front Of the seats were jagged marred
where the heels had stamped the
ten in the floor. On the same
seats were scraps of hymnals and in
scribed with names of the ~colonists
and the home towns in Oklahoma and
Kansas which they had left behind.
In the stewards little office a moldy
rubbed stamp, moldy stationery and
tw~enty-three keys, the whole outfit
lettered imposingly with the words,
Ethiopian Steamship Line" are all
that remain of what was a widely ad-
vertised American corporation whose
stock sold to trusting blacks at $25 a
share and which was to bring fortune
and power to the investors.

WHY does not some enterprising
merchant of Iron county import a car
load of cane sugar from the Pacific
coast? We believe it would meet with
ready sale here. In fact, If the price
is not more than Csc. a bag higher
than the beet sugar, we believe that
there will be practically no demand
for the latter. The cane sugar is
said by chemists and others in posi-
ton to know to be more than this
proportion richer in sacharine, and to
be far superior in preserving quail
ties. The best is none too good for
the people of this part Of the country.
