General Zachary Taylor's command

with Taylor's troops to Palo Alto,
and only six days after his assign

The morning after that engagement
he went into the battle of Resaca de

SCHMAHL, STATE TREASURER,
SAW COLONEL WITH SWORD
PURSUING GUN-ARMED FOE
AFTER QUARREL.

When former residents of Redwood
Falls and some VINO still are residents
get together at their picnic on the
Lake Harriet picnic ground, Satur-
day, June %, they will pay special
honor to the late Colonel Samuel Nc
Phail, founder of the 'old town" ant
veteran of Mexican, Civil and India1
wars.
They will hear the story of his Ca
reer recounted, and it is expected
they will meet Mrs. Eta McPhail
Anderson, daughter of the colonel
who has been invited to attend and
share in the honors Her recollec-
lions Of the Redwood Falls stockade
were published in these columns re-
Gently.
Colonel McPhail was born in Ken
lucky, lived in Texas, went to a
Southern military school, and did not
see the North until after the Mexi-
can war. In temperament, he re-
manned Southern to the end. When
his assertions Were questioned, he
was quick in resentment if he felt an
lllSNII was lllpiiSO'
Julius Schmahl, state treasurer,
once editor of the Gazette, was a
boy when the colonel was a leading
citizen of the village, and he revered
MIN for his military record and his
ability as lawyer. He tells of the
time he saw him holly pursuing Mr.
Gates, with whom the colonel had
quarreled in town.
Gates came hurriedly along the
road where it crosses the ravine, car
xying large revolver in his hand
and turning frequently to brandish
st rearward. A hundred yards to the
rear came Colonel McPhail, SWORD
sansheathed and scintillating in the
sunshine. He waved the sword and
hurled threats in his high peculiar
voice at the retreating Gates. But he
did not attempt to close the distance
between them while julius and his
brother Otto were watching.
The angry pair disappeared over
the brow of the hill, and the boys fled.
AS no casualties were reported, it
was supposed that the colonels hon
or was satisfied without bloodshed.
Colonel McPhail's career was filled
with adventure which began when
as a boy, he assisted his father in the
surveying of state lines and in topog-
raphy mapping, which took them over
a large part of the South. He was
born in Russelville, KY, May 2. 1926,
but his parents moved to Louisiana
while he was an infant.
AT 10 he was sent to the state mill
tary academy at Baton Rouge for

lumbus, also Hollands Ram, the
Turtle" and other points. When he
returned to Cairo he delivered valua-
BILE information to General Prentiss
/. In 1862, he returned to Minnesota,
was commissioned colonel by Cover
nor Ramsey, and was given command
of all the mounted forces of the state,
Most noteworthy in his Indian wal
service were his relief of Fort Ridge
ly, at the head of a force of citizen
soldiers, who left St. Peter~at sun
down and marched all night to reach
the harassed haven of the whites in
the Sioux massacre, and his sally to
relieve the imperiled force at Birch
Coulie. In the latter expedition, his
prudence, it is believed, saved his
command from humiliation such as
came to Clusters force at the hands
of the hordes of Sitting Bull.
In 1863, Colonel McPhail command
ed the cavalry in the Indian ex-
petition under General Sibley, and
engaged in three pitched battles at
Black Mound, Dead Buffalo lake and
Stony lake. So incensed were his
troopers in the first of these encoun-
tiers, over the cruel treatment of the
white settlers, that they took ven
geance by themselves scalping 81 OF

out, he joined the Army of the Poto-
mac and remained with it until the
spring of 1864. That year he went to
the site of Redwood Falls, helped
build the stockade and first log hous-
es, and remained there until 1875
serving as county attorney for sew
eral years. He had been admitted to
the bar at st. Louis and also in
Houston county. In the Seventies"
he also was admitted to practice be-
fore the United States Supreme
court.
In those early days, the population
of Redwood Falls changed rapidly
and Colonel McPhail decided to join
the exodus of those seeking other
fields of adventure. julius Schmahl
and his boy friends saw the colonel
depart. He had built a house on
wheels, resembling the cook house of
threshing crew, and he drove off
westward, bound for Alta Vista, Lin
coin county, where he settled on a
tree claim.
He explained that the government
had asked him to carry on tree ex-
periments. At any, rate he had sue
cess with trees which he planted to
determine their adaptability to the
Minnesota climate. He even grew
oranges and real coffee tree, but
these did not survive.
When he was practicing law, he
was recognized wit. Even before
that, while in military service, some
of his reports contained choice lines.
He is credited with an old and fam
Gus witticism which is said to have
been report that he submitted after

While he was colonel of volunteer
force, most of which consisted of
beardless youths, and which he was
to lead on an expedition against the
Sioux, he was asked by the commits
sary department for information re-
garding the sort of ration that should
be provided. He replied: 81 am at q
loss to know what to say as the
boys are little too young for whis-
ky and little too old for milk"
Colonel McPhail was married twice,
first to Martha Kingston, Southern
belle, daughter of John and Mary
Kingston, at ST. Louis, May 2,185O.
Of this union, Mrs. Eta Anderson,
daughter, survives and is a resident
of Minneapolis. Some years after his
first wife died, the colonel took as
his helpmate, Miss Minnie Baker of

| know of no more valuable inven-
ton than the bathroom scales. If you
have any tendency toward putting on
| flesh you can test your changes of
weight every day accurately-f your
scales are good which we must
assume. Of course. For If you weigh
yourself spasmodically on the penny
in-theslot scales you can always say
to yourself that they aren't right
whenever you don't like the way they
read, or you can subtract an indefinite
amount for clothes, and with all the
will in the world to be honest you'll
never be sure how much YOU really
weigh. Besides, you'll weigh yourself
at irregular intervals and forget the
result.
Weighing yourself stripped on bath
room scales is another matter. You
can't comfortably take off any pounds
for alleged heavy clothing. And you
can weigh yourself regularly every
day either before or after your bath.
And you can, and should, keep little
chart and mark on it each time what
the scales say.
Each time it may vary a few
ounces one way or the other. You
can only check up accurately as to
whether you gain or lose by going
back over several weeks records.
Your weight is constantly changing,
you see. You may have eaten more
breakfast than usual-that adds. You
may have just drunk glass of
water-that's more than half pound.
Weigh yourself each time under condi-
lions as nearly similar as possible
you'll weigh more before a bath than
after, for instance-so get on the
scales either before or after bathing
every day.
Then read back for the past few
weeks. You'll find your average then
and can see whether on the whole
you've gone up or gone down. Flesh
is an insidious thing. 1t creeps over
yon and you don't see it until it has
become problem. You fill out your
clothes or else they stretch. You see
yourself so much and your family
sees you sc much that the little bit
of fat that goes on day by day is not
noticed. Only the scales will tell you
the truth.

over the railing like a boy.
Freda sprang to her feet. "Oh,
Fred, l never was SO glad to see
YOU" she said, but to her surprise
her husband was staring at the gypsy,
who seemed to turn to stone.

You missed your vocation when you

pulled off the gay headdress and with
1t came a red wig and Freda saw

she broke down.

things. Freda cried.

Frederic. "Ah, Lucia, you told me
you would never forgive me for not

started to go the man held her.

The woman faced F'reda's amazed
eyes with an expression of such hate
that it frightened her.

more SO since Cartmell loved you. and
I was bound to hurt you and get even
