USE LEGS TO DRIVE HORSES
Cavairymen Must Keep Hands FFee
to Fight With--Each Man
a Regular Armory.

A cavalryman must learn to drive
by the pressure Of his legs SO both
his hands will be free to fight with,
Tor cavalryman is a regular armory
oil to himself. He carries a pistol,
rifle and a saber, and he must be
able to use them freely without being
thrown from his horse.
There's something very romantic
about the cavalry, something very
thrilling about the thunder of hun
dreds Of horses hoofs, something that
makes ones heart leap with joy-or
self, if 1 were "the enemy" I believe
I'd much rather face machine gun
than cavalry charge, writes Mary
Woodson Shippey in the Southern
WOman's Magazine. But, somehow,
the cavalry has not proven practicable
In the present war, and as France and
England can furnish about all that
might be needed, most of our cavalry
are to be made into artillery, because
Of the great need Of artillery.
In fact, all the new cavalry regi-
ments are to be trained as artillery
men, while the old ones are being
trained as infantrymen, although they
will all keep their designation as cav
alrymen. This gives them a double
dose Of training-for they must be
able to drill equally well afoot or on
horseback-as we'll as double lot
to learn. But they all insist, to a man,
that they're not infantrymen-Or
"doughboys" and "leather-necks," as
they derisively call them-but "dis-
mounted cavalry" And so be it, since
they are so terribly proud Of their
branch of the service and so loyal
to it..
There were fully as many, or more,
of these "dismounted cavalrymen" up
on the hills going through regular In
fantry drill as there were cavalrymen
astride horses-hundreds Of them,
olive-drab units marching, marching
everywhere among the wheeling, cir
cling horses, making one dizzy just
watching. And standing about on
lone prominences were various off,
GERS, silent, alert, their horses like
statues-if statues could switch an
grily at flies-their keen eyes watch
ing very critically this army Of these
United States grow, picking out the
mistakes and flaws in under-officers
and men.
1t gave one a strange, comforted
feeling-a strange impression Of a
determination to see to it that all
these hundreds of boys were perfect
in all the tricks Of the trade, so they
could take care of themselves. And
how young the most Of them seemed!
Slim, smooth-cheeked boys, their faces
just growing up to the square manli-
ness of their trim shoulders, for the
cavalry takes younger boys than any
other branch of the service.

SHAWANO RED men
Indian Remains, Trails and
Mounds Are Located.
Wisconsin Lake Of Same Name Was
Happy Hunting Grounds and Gen.
ter Of Tribes Population.

The Indian history and remains of
the. region about Lake Shawano and
the Wolf river are discussed in the
Wisconsin Archeologist in an article
by George r. Fox and H. o. Younger.
Lake Shawano was the center Of In
dian population of considerable num-
Der, and the authors Of thp article To-
Gated trails, camp sites, mounds and
other Indian remains in great album
dance. Several of the old Indian leg
ends regarding the first Indian settle
pent Of this region are also included
In the work.
Among the old trails definitely To-
Gated is one which led from the Wolf
river to the Wisconsin river, meeting
the latter stream near Wausau. An
other trail ran along the eastern shore
Of Lake Shawano to Mud lake and
thence to the Oconto river near Pull
offer. A third trail ran southeast to
Bonduel and north to Cecil. The Fox
liver itself was of course the chief
Indian highway.
The legends regarding the occupa-
ton Of the Shawano lake country are
still part of Menominee lore and per-
hAps contain some facts, because the
direct descendants of the first Indian
settlers in this country still live. A
dream of beautiful lake, according
to the legend, brought an old Indian
and his family to the place which aft
erward became a large Indian settle
ment.
The mounds in the region were
probably built by predecessors Of the
Menominees, because the latter did not
bury in mounds. Some mounds were
found near Pickerel creek, some in
the city of Shawano, and others on the
wilder shores, where it Is difficult to
do much investigating. On Mud lake
in the town of Wescott they found
q group of four mounds and near the
Kroup a mound more than IS feet In
diameter.
The city of Shawano contains
traces Of one Of the largest mound
Kroups in the northeastern part Of the
state. A group Of 80 or more mounds
was situated at the terminus of Green
Bay street. Many Of these have been
destroyed by the tilling Of fields and
leveling of streets.

Fake Salvarsan.

The New York city department OF
health has unearthed a sensational
fraud in the manufacture Of fake sal
varsan. The imitation, which was put
up in New York and sold widely
throughout this country, as well as In
Canada, Mexico, and Central America,
consists OF ordinary table salt col
ored with little aniline dye. The
package, circular, ampoul and every
visible detail of the original article
are cunningly initiated. 1t Is believed
that at least $4,000 doses Of the fake
article have been sold.

Land Where Childhood Is Cherished

Japan has been called the Land of
the Chrysanthemums and the Land of
the Cherry Blossoms. 1t may well be
called the Land Where Children are
Loved.
There is probably no country in
the world where childhood is more
deeply cherished than in Japan where
such pains are taken to make child
hood happy; where the education Of
children is made to brighten instead
Of clouding the sunny morning Of life.

Champ Clark has made an addition

In the closing minutes Of the war SEES
