counties, and the arrogant boast of
Senator Weller, that Maryland had
now become republican State, was
thrown back into his face with scorn
and contempt. When the democrats of
Maryland are united and are working
together, as they are at the present
time, the republicans have no chance
whatever to win. 1t is only when the
jealousies and quarrels of the leaders.

republicans, that they have even the
slightest hope to gain anything. and it
is to be hoped that all these internal
feuds and chickering's, have gone, not
to return for long period of years if

In the meantime Governor Richie is

Maryland in all phases. just as he de-
voted four years of his incum5ency of
the office of Attorney General, to the
study of the Statutes of the State, so
that he obtained thorough knowledge
of their defects. Ever since he became
Governor, he has been studying the
needs of Maryland. from a material ed

In addition to his desire to secure the
enactment into law of his plan for a
reorganization of the departments of
the State administration, he has hi d in

Classical Music in Uganda.

Rev. B. G. S. Everett a minor canon
at st. Georges chapel Windsor, Eng
land, relating his experiences while In
Uganda, Africa, said he visited ma
tive schools, where coal-black chill
dren, whose parents not long ago were
heathens of the most barbarous type,
sang, to his establishment, songs from
Mendelssohn and Brahms in manner
to give the children of many English
schools a lead. The greatest punish
ment to infiict upon a native child was
to tell it that it would be excluded
from attendance at school; they were
immensely keen ON learning. Mr.. Ev-
erett said he had received from one OF
the principal native public men six
bowled sacred pipe, which was now
one of his most cherished possessions.
So far he had never smoked it, for he
did not think his constitution would
stand the strain of smoking six bowls
at once.

superstition Concerning caul.

The caul is a thin membrane found
sncompassing the head Of some chill
dren when born, and 1t Is considered
a good omen for the children them
selves. This superstition probably be-
came widespread about the time of the
Emperor Antoninus Plus. When he
was born he had band of membrane
around his forehead In the shape of a
diadem, and he attributed all his good
fortune to this caul, and this started
the sale of them. A few sailors carry

saved from shipwreck diverted the SUI

FoRSYTH'S SCOUTS, THE ORIG
INAL trough RIDERS"

This is the story of 81 scouts, in
stead of just one, for together they
won undying fame in one of the
flercest battles ever fought with the
Indians on the frontier. They were
Forsyth's Scouts, the Rough Riders
Of 1868" Gen. George A. Forsyth was
their Sandy" Forsyth. he had
been called in Civil war days.
The scouts left Fort Wallace, Kan,
III pursuit Of a band of Dog Soldier
Cheyennes who had been rading in
western Kansas. Early one Septem-
Der morning while they were camped
on the AriCkaree river in eastern Colo
RADIO the Indians appeared and tried
to stampede their horses. AS the
scouts prepared to mount and give
battle, Sharpe Grover, their guide,
touched Forsyth on the arm. "Oh
heavens, generalv' he cried, look at
the Indians"
In the next instant the surrounding
hills and valleys were alive with saw
ages, who charged down upon the
scouts, but were driven off by a few
vOileys. Surrounded and hopelessly
0utnumbered, there was but one thing
for Forsy%- 10 do. In the center of
the stream was little island on which
grew a few small trees. Make for
the island, men" shouted Forsyth
IT'S our only chance"
They reached the island just in time
While Indian ritiemen along the banks
Of the stream poured in hot fire, a
picked body of 800 warriors led by
the Cheyenne chief, Roman Nose,
charged down upon them, intending to
ride over Forsyth's band in one red
wave of destruction. The Indians
were beaten back, they settled down to
beSioge the scouts.
TWenty-three Of the 81 scouts had
been killed or wounded when evening
came. Forsyth was suffering from
three wounds and Lieut.. Fred Beecher,
the second in command, had been
killed, as had the only surgeon in the
command. All they had to eat was
strips of meat cut from their dead
horses.
For nine days, in spite of hunger
and wounds, the little band of scouts
beat off the Cheyennes, until two Of
the scouts managed to slip through
the Indian lines at night and guide a
force of cavalry to their rescue. Once
Forsyth gave the unwounded scouts
chance to try to escape, leaving him
and the other wounded to their fate,
but they refused. "We've fought to-
gether, and We'll die together if we
muSt!' was their heroic answer.
The island was named Beecher's
island, in honor. of their lieutenant,
and today a monument stands on X
to mark forever the place where For
syth's Scouts fought so bravely.

Peter Bancroft surveyed the little
party with critical blue eyes. and at
last his good-humored face crinkled
into q wide smile.
Some bunch-didn't any of them
know this was a picnic-a boating
party that might turn into a water
fete at any moment if any one should
rock the boat. Why, those girls are
dolled up for a shindyw No one
listened to Peters mutterings and he
grumbled still more as one girl used u
lips1ck and another dredged her pref
ty nose with powder. Goodnight ~
sighed the practical young man. Don't
they want the sunshine and fresh air
to get at their skins? There's one,
however-the little girl from Goshen
she's got sense!"
The pretty girls and the stalwart
young men gathered on the pier wait
Ing for Ben Hampton and his motor
boat had not paid much attention to
the girl from Goshen, who was the
country cousin of Adele Parks, the lip
stick girl. Adele was rather ashamed
of Mildred Moore, who wore a wool
skirt and a white MILDLY blouse and
rubber-soled canvas shoes.
"She looks a fright" thought Adele
as she teetered about on her French
heeled pumps-"those llsle-thread
stockings are cheap looking and there
isn't speck of powder on her face
freckles on her nose-mercy, what will
the girls think of herr The girls
probably thought as did pretty Adele
that the demure girl with the rosy
complexion and the powdering of
golden frecllles across her charming
nose and the vivid red lips Of perfect
health was fright, while they, attired
in expensive silk sport clothes, spent
stray moments in renewing their hid
den compilations.
Everybody ready?" sang out Ben
Hampton as his boat shot up to the
pier; got all the lunch baskets,
sweaters, cameras, etcetera, and so
forth? File in-trim ship there-yOu
can't all sit on one side, even If it's
more sociable! No room for lunch
baskets, Ell? Put 'em in the skiff
astern and I'll trail it; you, young
Teller, meaning Mr.. Bancroft, jest sit
there and keep your eye on the skiff-
