An American has Just died In New Tork City at the age of 101 who was a reteran of four war and had lived through a fifth. Are we such a peaceful nation when one lifetime suppllesthls rscord? Authors are now writing flattering comments on their own works. The days when a writer begged the Indul gence of the "gentle reader" are long past. Yet they were the days that pro duced the masterpieces. Ocean steamships nowadays are as regular as the railroads In carrying the malls. They have their habitual rate of speed and are expected to make the voyage of 3000 miles over a trackless ocean through wind and storm In the same number of hours and minutes, winter and summer, never slowing down or heaving to except on the very rarest occasions. The pistol Is, perhaps, the readiest Instrument of murder within reach of the hand of the assassin. While seek ing the means of statutory curbforthe intending murderer, why not put a heavy restraining tax on the manufac ture, sale and ownership of this readily concealed and life-destroying weapon? It Is already forbidden by law to carry concealed firearms In many of the states; but If It should be made a cost ly as well as an Illegal habit something would have been accomplished in safe guarding the right to live, thinks the Philadelphia Record. "When will our legislators recognize the fact that the health of the com munity Is Its most valuable asset, and take the necessary steps to assist In preserving It?" Inquires Health. "Doubtless there are many noises In cidental to city life which it Is impos sible to suppress, but a very large pro portion of them are easily preventable, for Instance, the Incessant discordant clanging of car gongs, the screeching and tooting of switch engines In rail road yards, the rattle of heavily loaded wagonB over badly paved streets and the deafening yells of fruit venders and newsboys." According to Harper's Weekly, Eng land Is looking forward to the fiercest municipal contests the kingdom has had for years. There Is not an alder man In the whole realm who does not want to be mayor of his respective town, because It has been announced that every mayor in the United King dom will be knighted when Edward Is crowned king. Whether Edward him self will personally bestow the accolade does not appear, but as he is going to revive all the ancient ceremonies con nected with the coronation it seems no more than fair that he gratify the in tense desire of so many loyal subjects. Only one thing could Increase the hap piness of John Bull when he Is knight ed, and that is to receive his knight hood from his sovereign's hand. It would be unkind in the king to disap point the honored gentlemen. The first case of "tapping the wires" of wireless telegraphy, It the Irishism may be pardoned, has been reported. During the recent French naval mane uvers In the Mediterranean thecrulsor Bouvtnes was entering at the Straits of Gibraltar when Its wireless telegraph apparatus recorded the fact that in the vicinity was another ship similarly equipped. The Bouvlnes, thinking that the other ship belonged to the French fleet, began to talk to it, and the other hip replied. There was, so to say, a confusion of tongues, and after a few minutes the Frenchman discovered that Instead of talking to a compatriot It was an Englishman "at the other end of the wire." The report, or so much of it as has been published, un fortunately does not tell how far apart the two ships were, but the epi sode reveals the interesting possibili ties of what might have happened had the two nations been at war. In such a case the Marconi system could have been both a source of danger and of safety to the Frenchman. It would have warned him of the presence of a foe hitherto unsuspected, and if, as might happen, the Englishman bad possession of the Frenchman's secret code, the latter might have been drawn Into a very pretty trap, It is a point for naval experts to discuss, and doubt less it will not pass unnoticed. t THE FEAT OF THE t BI FRANKLIN WELLES CALKINS, , On the long route of the pony ex press there were no more perilous bits of trail than those which lay on either side of the station at Iapeer's. This North Platte country was a middle ground common to Pawnee, Sioux, Cheyenne, Ute, Arapnho and Kloway. Hither all these came to chase the buffalo, to steal horses, or to fight the white men or one another; and here the adventurer, of whatever sort, carried his life In his hand. One day there came to I.apeer'8, from the western mountains, Sandy Van Sant, formerly mule whacker for a freighting outfit, young, stunted In growth ahd short In one leg His sav ings consisted of an enormous mule and. three Net Perce ponies, one of which was a "calico of a plcturesnue f.ess not to pass without remark. The genuine calico pony Is usually of but two colors, a ground of white with liberal markings of red or black; but Sandy's animal had all three colors laid on very promiscuously. Sandy desired above all things to se cure a place as an express rider, and he asked for a reiBy at Lapeer's. When for answer the boss pinned a playing card upon his "shooting post" Sandy's countenance fell. He had failed In that teat before. Hoping against hope, he mounted his steadiest animal and trotted several times past the mark. He failed to hit the post. In the words of "Blue Bob," the station horse wrangler, "that mule whacker couldn't hit the mule he rode on." But Sand?, not desiring to ride far ther toward the tame east, rested from his travel at Lapeer's. His stock ran with Blue Bob's bunch and without comment, until the wrangler came In to supper one evening, with wrath in his powder stained visage. "Say, mule whack," he said, "if you don't tie out those plntoes of yours, I'll sure roll your bunch into the Platte." "Been try In' to rope 'em. Bob?" San dy asked, with a good natured twinkle In his eye. "I'll sure rope that flea-bitten calico of yours, and I'll sure ride him to morrow," Blue Bob announced in a beat, which greatly tickled the men at Lapeer's. "Sure?" asked Sandy tantallzlngly. "Sure," declared the wrangler, his face flushing under its pits of blue. The next morning at sunrise the sta tion boss, Jim Devine, his three gun men and Sandy sat upon a corral fence and enjoyed themselves. The fun be gan inside the corral, but was soon transferred to the open. At Bob's first confident throw the calico pony dropped Its head between Its knees and dodged with the facility of a weasel. Bob ran a wider loop, and approached until he could almost lay hand upon the pony's flank. The calico Btood with its ears laid back. The wrangler poised his noose and made a quick jump forward. When his rope struck the ground the calico pony was behind him. Then, while a shout of laughter went up from the onlookers that "painted" pony leaped the high corral fence with the ease of a cat going over a chair. Blue Bob mounted the swiftest ani mal in his bunch and gave chase. Much to his astonishment the calico pony made no attempt to run away. It now had plenty of room for dodging, and wheeled about the corral In erratic cir cles, darting ahead, leaping sidewlse, or stopping short, as the nature of Bob's throw demanded. In a dozen casts Bob's noose did not once fall upon the pony. "Who taught the pinto such tricks?" Bob demanded of the men on the fence, when at last he acknowledged defeat. "Nez Perces best horse trainers In the world, I reckon," said Jim Devine. Sandy nodded. "That's what," he said. "Them others are Just as bad," ad in I tied Bob to Sandy, as they walked back to the station. "I don't see the use In such as that" It was some weeks before Blue Bob ; saw and admitted the wisdom of Nez I Perce training. In the meantime San Uy's ponies continued to run with the buncn and wn(m hB wlHhed to rl(le I the calico the wrangler had only to call to it, as Sandy had taught him, in the guttural aeon's of Its former Nez Perce owner "Ksok, Ksok, Ksok." One day at noon the men at La peer's watched an east bound express rider race down a long north slope with a cloud of horsemen at his heels, The gun men were about to dash to his rescue when the Indians turned back. The rider came up badly hurt and reeling in his saddle. "The Cheyennes have done up them skinners," he managed to ejaculate, and then he fainted and was carried In. too "skinners ' alluded to were a tamp of buffalo hide hunters, whom the Indians bad Wiled and scalped be side bis trail. So it came about that, because there was no one else for the place, Sandy was assigned to a short and temporary run on the express route. Riding his own ponies, the young freighter cov ered, twice each day, the 12-mlle stretch which lay between Lapeer's and Cow Creek. As the calico was his swiftest runner, Sandy rode this anl mal one way each day. The dead buffalo hunters were bur led by a detachment of troops from Fort Laramie. The soldiers also scoured the region in search of the Cheyenne trail, but the wary Indians bad scattered one by one and as "CALICO" PONY. S i raped None of them were ever putt lshed. For two uneventful weeks Sandy rode his beat, a round trip each fore noon, the riders at either end of his trail taking extra laps until the wound ed man should recover. The Indian raid had well nigh passed out of mind when Sandy, riding the calico on his return trip from Cow Creek one sunny morning, was sur prised by a crowd of Cheyennes upon the same long slope down which the regular rider had been chased. Far to the northwest of ljpeer's the hills rose steadily In a succession of ridges, cut by deep ravines and ditch- like washouts. Out of reach of gun shot from these slashes, except at a single turn, the trail of the pony ex press followed the crest of a long and crooked ridge. At the turn mentioned with a washout close upon the left, the ridge dropped away toward La peer's. Past this rut, which had been the scene of more than one ambush, the pony riders were wont to race at lull speed. Sandy, upon his calico, had passed over the height at a flying pace and was now well within sight of the bunti ngs at Lapeer's. Suddenly In his front, on either hand, there came scrambling up the slopes three or four squads of Indian riders. They had timed their break from cover so that there would be no spaco for a dash between their lines. Sandy's eyes and brain took In the situation quickly. The big war party of Cheyennes .had returned to attack more express riders. There were a score In his front, and he knew the ravines and canyon cuts on either hand ami the washout In his rear were biding other squads ready to cut off his line of flight. He was surrounded, and he deter mined to go forward arid trust, first to an appearance of good faith, and finally to the quick wit and speed of his calico pony. Thrusting a useless revolver Into a boot leg, he unbuckled bis belt, with ammunition case and holster and let it fall to the ground. The mall pouch, which Sandy, like every other express messenger, would hove refused to abandon under any circumstances whatever, was fortu nate ly nearly empty, and added but little to his own light weight and that of his saddle. Both parties of Indians wero now nearly at the top of this ridge, and some 300 yards In his front. Sandy rode straight on at a jog-trot, holding up a hand in token of amity or of surrender, as the Cheyennes should choose to consider. Seeing the express rider approach them thus amicably, some 20 or more befenthered fellows halted their po nies. Some were armed with guns, but most had their bow and arrows and long lances. 'How how how?" they chorused, as Sandy came near. The Cheyennes were delighted at the Apparent easo with which the man and his pony had fallen Into their grasp. Three of their head men, each hold ing: out a he.nd and grinning treacher- oiibly, rode forward to meet him. This was forcing his hand sooner than San dy had expected. His pony was ap proaching the Indians apparently with out fear or suspicion. Sandy felt that it would never do to let one of those Cheyennes grasp him by the hand, and when his animal bad nearly touched noses with the pony of the foremost, he gave a sudden fierce giunt, gripped his saddle with both hands, and drove a Spanish rowel deep Into the calico's flank. He had good need to cling to his sent, for his pony's first leap nearly jerked the breath out of his body, while the calico dodged like a fright ened rabbit among the charging Chey ennes. It seemed to Sandy that a don riders hurled themselves upon him and hlB pony In the same breath. The Indians could not shoot In such a melee, but long lances were thrust at the messenger as his pony dodged hither and thither among plunging an imals. Two of these awkward but dan gerous weapons met In a clash and broke above his head. A tomahawk hit his mall bag and glancing, grazed an arm. And this harmless blow was the only stroke Sandy or his pony got in their zigzag dash through the Indian lines. His race, however, had only Just be gun, and Sandy knowing speed to be Ills only hopo, gave tho calico freo rein and simply clung to his seat. He Immediately found himself plunging down the east scarp of the ridge and straight toward a deep, precipitous washout A crowd of yelling, shooting riders launched themselves upon his heels. Tho Indians wore appallingly close, hut no man, red or white, can shoot accurately with bis horse going at full speed, and if his animal be plunging down a hill, his shots must be aimed very much at random. In a short Quarter mile dash the angry Cheyennes wasted bullets and arrows recklessly upon the figure dropping down the slope In front of them. Sandy was nearlng the washout, with several Cheyennes pressing hotly upon his pony's heels, and be clenched bis teeth, expecting to take a tremen dous slide and be set upon in a pro miscuous scramble at the bottom. But at the moment when the messenger had abandoned all nope of avoiding the ravine and braced himself as well . he could for the steep and dangerous descent, bis calico wheeled In a flash upon tho brlnit of the big ditch and Bed toward lapeer'a Sandy reeled In his seat, then looked behind to see two of his pursuers, lin iible to check their ponies, go plowing Into the washout, while still another, whose animal had set Its feet In a standstill, was flung neck and heels over tho bank. What fate awaited those Indians at the bottom of the cut Sandy rould not tell; he was too quick ly out of sight. But three of his pursuers were out of the race; that he knew. Then he felt a sense of mounting exultation as ha noted how his calico pony was running upon the very rim of the washout, clearing wide, dry ditches and water ruts in lithe, quick leaps, and scudding like a hunted fox over ground a fox might have chosen to foil the best of horsemen. This this was a Nez Perce mountain pony. The remaining Cheyennes followed hotly after the flying messenger, but prudently kept farther up the slope. They were no longer shooting, but Sandy noted that they were forging ahead and holding their lances In readiness to thrust him through at the first favorable turn. Plainly there must be one more dodging match, one more running of the gauntlet, before he could hope to reach Lapeer's. Hold ing to his seat, Sandy awaited the trial. It camn soon. At the bottom of a small ravine the calico pony made an other of those lightning turns, and ran straight up the draw. All but three of the Cheyennes had crossed above, but these three, noting the cun ning maneuver, wheeled upon the slope and came plunging down togeth er to heaJ It off. The calico responded with a freah and unexpected burst of speed, and tho foremost Indian, rising in his saddle to hurl his lance, lost his seat and was pitched head fore most under his horse's feet. The riderless pony and the mounted Cheyennes rame together at the bot tom of the draw, with further dam age to the excited Indians, and San dy's calico, dodging them, went by like the wind. Sandy, shouting with exultation, looked back at a turn of the ravine to see a single Indian chasing him on foot, and frantically trying to load a rifle as he ran. The others were evi dently still engaged In the effort to extricate themselves from the difficul ty Into which the riderless pony had thrown them. One minute later the express rider emerged from the ravine, with his cal ico running straight for the ridge trail, and saw a dozen more Cheyennes look ing for him along the washout below, Fantly heard their shrill yells of dis appointment as he rame Into view 200 yards above and in front of them, and sped swiftly away down the slope. The Indians at once gave over the chase, and it was as well for them, perhaps, that they did, for at the foot of the ridge Sandy met Blue Bob and the gun men of tapeer's. The men at the station had seen tha Cheyennes ride out upon the ridge to cut Sandy off. In that clear atmos phero, three miles away, they had watched the express messenger as he approached the Indians, and had seen him and his pony apparently swal lowed up and lost In a cloud of rush ing horsemen. Then they had seen the calico pony suddenly emerge like a jack rabbit dodging a ring bunt, and they had waited to see no more. As a result of this feat of his talent Hi Nez Perce pony and of hie own pluck and skill, Sandy remained at Lapeer's as rider and wrangler until the abandonment of the route. Youth's Companion. BROOM-CORN FOR FOOD. New Cereal Can He I'repared In Many Ap p. tiling Waye Itn.elan Breakfast Itlnh. A new kind of cereal food for hu man consumption Is to be Introduced In this country. If the department of agriculture can persuade people to eat It. It is broom-corn millet, and the plnnt was brought hither from Eu rope not long ago by botanical agents of the government, for use as forage, However, there Is no reason why It should not furnish an article of diet for people Inasmuch as It may be pre pared In many appetizing ways. It produces, under favorable conditions, 60 bushels of grain (seed) to the acre, so that, In viow of Its highly nutii Hons qualities, It Is a most economical and otherwlso desirable plant. This broom-corn millet Is so called because, when growing In the fields, It looks like broom-corn. There are a number of varieties, and the seeds (that Is, the hulls of them) aro of dif ferent colors yellow, white, brown and gray. A graceful spreading tas sel crowns tne stalk. In Russia, where the plant I s grown almost whony for use as human food. It Is called "proco." People in that country cat it for breakfast In a form like oaten grits, or press thegrlts Into cake and use them with soup, The cereal also appears on their table in pancakes, such as we make out of buckwheat or Indian corn. Among the peasants, especially in the region of the Volga, the broom-corn millet Is largely consumed. One may judge of Its popularity, In deed, when It is stated that from 60,- 000,000 to 70,000,00 bushels of the grain are produced In Russia yearly, A special study was made of it re cently by Dr. M. A. Carloton, who was sent to Russia by Secretary Wilson to gather agricultural Information. He says that the broom-corn millet can be grown most successfully In thl country Jn the northern plains region In the Dakotas, Minnesota and Ne braska.

I will tell the young housewife In a little practical talk not only how to keep from breaking so many lamp chimneys, but also how to clean a lamp so as to have a clear, steady, brilliant light, for I think in your first housekeeping a well kept lamp Is en Important factor, not only for happi ness and cheerful conversation around li, but for your health and eyesight also. Lamp chimneys are not so liable to break upon exposure to changes of temperature If they are put In a pan o? cold wafer and allowed to heat gradually until the water Is boiling hot, then allow It to cool again. The com mon kerosene lamp used in almost every household will give a bright, clear light If properly cared for. The bowl of the lamp should be kept full of oil, but when not used the wick should be turned down, to keep tho oil from oozing out. If the wick Is soaked In vinegar, then thoroughly dried before it is put In the lamp, It will not smoke. When you wish to clean the flues, founts, etc., wash them In a suds made by dissolving a tea spoonful of pearllne Into a pint of hot water. Clean well, then rinse In clear, warm water and wipe dry In soft cheesecloths. Fill your lamps every day and clean every day also. See that the flues fit tightly. As you live in the country you will ubb lamps alto gether, and this Is an excellent method for cleaning. N. IL 11., In Farm, Field and Fireside.

PHILADELPHIA HEIRESS BECOMES WIFE OF TITLED SPANIARD. They Met Amid tho Ruins of Old Mexico Lore Was the Only Language They Kiov lu Common Recalls the Kvvolutlunury War. A pretty romance had Its end In the marriage the other day of Miss Fran ces B. Holmes, a wealthy heiress of Philadelphia, to the Marquis de Klaves Hermosa. The two met In Mexico among Aztec ruins. Both were wanderers. He could not speuk English. She could not spenk Spanish. He tried to toll her the deeds of his ancestors, who came across tho sea and ruled In the land of the Sun God. But she could not understand, and she was far more interested In the man than in the tale he told. So she tried to teach him English a word here and there. That was only a few months ago. Now they are married. The wedding has interfered with the lessons In English. The Marquis Is still unable to speak a word of the language. But the marquise has learned a few words of Spanish, and she acts as his Interpreter. Tho new marqulso is tho only daughter of the lata Charles W. Holmes of Philadelphia. Tho family rebldence is a beautiful old place. Mother and daughter are well supplloit with world's goods. The majority of her relative are quiet, niatter-of-f:ict people. But there Is a French ancestor, whose national characteristics thin handsome, clevor MARQUISE DE KLAVES HERMOSA snd very original young woman has inherited. The marquise's grandfather was General L Mercler, one of the two officers who came to this country with General Lafayette. His daughter, Marie Antoinette Mercler, married General Sturdevant of Washington's army. The beautiful French woman and her husband, stately, old-time figures, look down from the walls of the Holmes homestead. There la a simi larity In the expression in the faces of the French great-grandmother and the vivacious girl who recently brought horns a Spaniard as a bus-band. D1JSINES3 CARDS.
