I Days in the Saddle. Adventures with After Soon after the cloie of the Civil War number of troops of the Fourth OaTmlrjr were sent out to the different P0U on the Rio Grande. Their prin cipal DURlneaB was to watch Indians, who would cross over from Mexico to Keal horses. The Indians seldom do troyed ranches; that would not be ood business. The men living on the ranches, If not driven off or killed would in the course of time gather up Another bunch of horses for the In diana to steal. Our troop and one other were sent to Camp Verde, Texas, Which was one of the frontier posts then; about all the country west of It was still out of doors. We began hunting Indians as soon as we had Sot here. There were a good many settlers east of us and several small towns. Kenrvllle and Bunders were the nearest v,nes. They are probably larger towns now. The citizens were continually losing horses and we were Uept busy hunting them. The greatest drawback to our finding them was due to the fact that these men did not report their Iosbcs oon enough, and about the time we would be told of It the Indians would he safe In Mexico. There was an ar rangement now under which we could follow Indians to Mexico, and the Mexican troops could follow them across to our side of the line If they wanted to do so. They ran them over to us, then quit, while we have often followed them lf0 miles into Mexico. I have been as far down as that after them myself while in the Fourth Cav alry. We bad no such arrangement when we first went across, and had there been any civil government in Mexico then our presence over there Would have been the cause of an x tended diplomatic correspondence be tween Mexico and Washington to ex plain what we were doing over there, fcut at this time there was no civil gov ernment In Mexico, or rather there were two so-called governments. Gen. Juarez was at the head of one, the Kmperor Maximilian had the other, end they were too busy just now try ing to keep out of each other's way to pay any attention to us. An old gentleman who had a ranch ear Kerrvllle lost a bunch of horses and told us about It. We followed up the Indians, and crossing the Rio Grande a few hours after them, ran Into their camp at night when they thought they were safe at home. We cot back all the horses, the Indians making their escape on foot, all ex cept a few that came in contact with our pistol balls; they stayed where they were. These Indians were Lipans and Klckapoos. They had originally be longed In Texas, but had emigrated to Mexico and would now come over en foot, then ride back on stolen horses, sell them to the Mexicans and come and get more. We returned the torses to where they belonged and a short time after Mr. Crawford, their owner, paid us another visit. He had found us more Indians, but they had not taken his horses this time. He had been west of this hunting up his cattle and had seen a bunch of In 4isfn8, how many he did not know; he had not stopped long enough to count them. About a dozen of us under command of our First Lieutenant, a Brevet Ma jor, were sent out with Crawford to help him count those Indians. Ho led OS up through Bandera Pass, a few miles south of the post, then turned west Had he kept on west far enough we would not have needed him for a guide. Edwards county was out here, and we had been all over it lately. After going west a while he turned north again and late In the afternoon we rode past a chain of hills. They were off to our right, and I noticed . When passing one of them what looked Uke a small cave up In the side of the hill, twenty feet above its base. Craw ford saw it, and riding over got off Bis horse and examined the ground, there certainly could not be Indians la that cave, I thought; not more than a dozen, anyhow. It was about two feet wide and hardly that high at the entrance. After looking at the ground w rocks that lay on the ground rather, Crawford climbed up to the cave. The Major had stopped the column, and now called out: "What have you got there, Mr. Craw ford?" "I think there Is a b'ar in that cave, atr." i "Let him stay in there then, and come on. I want to make camp as aeon as I can now." Crawford mounted and came over to as, and the major asked him If he had meant to crawl into that cave after a bear? "No, sir; not all the way In. I only wanted to find out if he was thar or fcot" "Well, If he had been there, you would have found it out pretty quick." I nearly choked myself trying to keep from laughing. I rode just be hind the major, and it would not do to laugh. This Mr. Crawford was a cu riosity. He was about 60 years old and rode with his stirrups so short that his knees were shoved half way up to his chin, and in riding he leaned forward in the saddle something as English hunters -are. represented In newspaper cuts as doing, but no fox hunter or any one else could follow the hounds riding ai he did. I could not, at least We were taught to ride with stirrup traps long enough to allow our legs a Troop of Cavalry Indians. to extend their full length and to Bit erect In the saddle. Had we leaned forward, as he did, an officer's saber arross our backs would have straight ened us up. Crawford carried a Henry rifle on the saddle In front of him and lugged around two Colt's nls tolB day and night. Ho slept with them on. We had to do that ourselves at times, but unless I was told to keep mine on It came off promptly when I lay down. I could get it quickly enougtt ir I needed It He had been an Indian fighter all his life, or said he had, and as he found us no Indians this trip, and never made another one with us I will have to take his word for It, but rrora what I saw of blm afterward, If I were an Indian he would be the man I should want to follow me. I would not expect to have to-flght him oftener than twice a day. We went Into camp more than half a mile beyond the cave, and as soon ns our horses were staked out I went to Crawford and asked him if he would go and examine that cave with me. No, he did not care to walk that far. "It Is only half a mile," I Bald. "Yes, but It Is another half mile back, and I ain't used to walking. You may go down and get that bear If you want him." "I want him. of course, If he Is there." "Oh, he Is there all right I saw his tracks there." I went to the major and asked per mission to hunt the bear. "Yes," he told me, "hunt him, but don't crawl into that cave after him, as Mr. Crawford was going to do." I had no Idea of doing that. I did not want bear quite so badly as that, and I don't think that Crawford had ever meant to crawl into it, either. He. wrjs not exactly a fool. On my way to the cave I began to study plans to get him out of 'It if he was in it, without going In and drag ging him out I first thought to climb up there, then give him a shot or two into, but I dismissed that plan. I might kill him If I did and would not know It. I was not going In to see. According to some authorities on bears, it takes aj man and a gun half a day to kill one. Sometimes It does. I have followed one with a rifle a half day, then did not kill him. I don't know that I ever wounded him, though I shot at him often enough. And again I have killed one in less tham two minutes with a pistol. It depends a good deal on where you hit the bear how many shots it takes to kill him. I got down In front of the cave and examined the ground for bear signs, but found none. The ground, what lit tle there was of It that was not cov ered with loose rocks, was hard yellow clay an ox team passing over It would hardly leave a sign. Gathering up a lot of dry brush, weeds and leaves I piled them In front of the cave, set them on Are, and going off a few feet to one side waited for the bear or bearB to come out. I had a Spencer carbine and a Colt's pistol, and I though that I could stop all the bears that might be In there. The wind drove the smoke right Into the cave, the Are burned out, but no bear made his appearance. There would be no danger In going into that eaive now, and I tried it, but as there was too much smoke In it I had to crawl out I went back to camp and Crawford wanted to know If I had seen the bear. No, sir, there is none there, nor has there been any lately." "Oh, yes, there has been;" he had pr" Sn- rlirifq 'You could not see a sign there with a iiK-. pv. me ground is too hard." There might be plenty of signs there that an old hunter could see, and you could not. You have not been in this country long." Yes, I know; but we have men In this troop that have been, some of them twenty years out on the frontier. I. myself have been pretty well over the Northwest, and have hunted with Sioux Indians. They know something about signs, don't they? We are not all tenderfeet, if we were born and raised in the big cities." "Yes, maybe so, but there has been a b'ar up thar." Well, as the Major told you, we will let him stay up there. I can't find him." We started again early next morning to hunt those Indians of Crawford's, and soon after breaking camp It began to rain and kept on raining all fore noon. The Major went into cefnp as soon as he could find grass and wood. We did not need to look for water. We had all we wanted of that and some more. The timber here was cypress, and there was a lot of blocks of It that had been cut to make shingles out of which had been left; Indians had pro bably interrupted the shingle making before it had got well started. That had been some years ago, "before the war," probably, to use Crawford's fa vorite expression when giving the date of his numerous fights with Indians. We tried to start a cook fire with these blocks but they were wet and would not burn, only smoke. I got a liberal dose of this smoke, and a small dose of cypress smoke Is x cure. Then I hunted up something hat would burn more and smoke less. and found a lot of dead cedars, but it look hard work to get wood off them, the branches had to be broken off. W had no axe; we never carried one on a pack mult then, aaa there Is hardly anything that cup be carried on him that la needed oftener. When I had anything to do with the pack trains In after years I always carried at least one axe In a leather sling and a spade. While riding through the rain today we were Vontlnually. passing small bunches of cattle. They belonged to ranches away east of us and had wan dered out here. Nearly every cow ho1 a different brand, some had none at all. They were still tame and would let a man ride close enough to examine them, but further west could bo found thou sands of them that we could not get within a mile of; they had been born wild. Crawford would examine every bunch we passed; he wanted to see It any of them had his brand on, he said. This was what had brought him and us here; he had seen no Indiuns, but wanted a cavalry escort so that he could come out here and look up his and his neighbors' cows. These men would not think of com ing out here nlone. If they did they would have no trouble In seeing all the Indians they wanted. I noticed the Major watching Craw ford whllo he was engaged In taking the census of these cows, and I knew that if Crawford did not find Indians In a day or two he would hear from the Major. The Major had risen from the ranks and could swear not only like the proverbial trooper, but like half a dozen of them. He dare not curse an enlisted man, and never did; he would stand a chance of being court-martialed If he had, or else have to give the man he had cursed an apology in front of his troop. It was given to mo by another officer in the presence of the Colonel once, after I har reported this officer for cursing me. But the Major could curse a teamster or citizen guide, and he often did, and I expected CTawford to get the full benefit of the Major's expe rience In the line of cursing before he was a week older. When in camp Crawford kept down among us. He would not go near the Major unless he was called, and we kept him busy blowing about the Indians that he had killed. I had found out from him that he had been in the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, Lee's army, and I had been in the Army of the Poto mac at the same time, so I got blm started telling about the time that "we uns had fit you uns," and we put In some hours fighting the War of the Rebellion over again. The weather had cleared up this afternoon and gave the ground a chance to dry. I had been thinking that I would have to sleep tonight seated on my saddle with my back to a tree; I often had to sleep that wny. We carried no bed blanket; we were not allowed to put one on the horse; I would not put it on anyhow; I never carried anything on him I could do without; I did not want to make a pack mule out of him, then ride him. It had been good weather when we left the post and no one had an over coat along with him. I had a rubber coat, though few were worn then. Soon 'after dark tonight we were gathered around the fire and CTawford wns giving us an extended account of the Indians he had killed "before the war" he had not got to the ones he had killed after the break-up yet When he was about In the middle of this Interesting nararative the sentry on post outside of the horses fired a shot. We picked up our carbines and rajn out to form a line out beyond the herd. Crawford had followed me with his rifle and I thought he had fallen In line until I heard a noise behind me as I 'stood in line in my place on the left. Looking around I saw Crawford down on his knees here among the horses, with his hands pressed to gether; he was busy praying. 1 wanted to tell him to postpone that prayer and fall in here and shoot a few more Indians but I was not In command. There was a sergeant here who ranked me, and had I begun to give orders he would soon let me know that he was here. The Major had not got out here yet He had been outside of camp somewhere when the shot was fired, and came running out now and almost fell over Crawford. What he said to Crawford need not be re peated here. His remarks would have to be principally In dashes If they were recorded. None of them could be mistaken! for a prayer, though. We satisfied ourselves that there were no Indians out here now, nor had there been any here lately. The sentry had fired at a bunch of cows without challenging, as he had been told to do; It was dark, and he could not see them. We went back to the fire and tried to get some more Indian stories from Crawford, but I had hurt his feelings on the way in by telling him that we generally fought our Indians without the aid of a chaplain. He went to bed now. This happened to be his last night with us. Had he remained, I don't suppose he would have given us any more Indian stories. His failure to night to get out to where he could slaughter them, after both he and we had thought that there were plenty of them here, had put a large dis count on the stories he had given us already. - Next morning the Major gave no orders to saddle up. He seemed to be going to make a permanent camp here. But calling Crawford up, he told him to go out and find those Indians or their trail or be shot. That was the gist of his remarks. Crawford started to find the trail. Whether he found it or not I don't know: he never came back to tell us about it. He probably found a trail that led straight home, then took it. The Major waited until noon, then started us home. Correspondence in Forest and Stream. Much Anglo 'American Brotherhood By C. K 4i HEN modern England t ence each i tor Is it ica that touch?

Doubtless America has much to learn from England; but Is it learned? mmm. ungland is too ican influence oven tending to make it less snobbish or less oligarchical? America Is too cheap and vulgar; but does English influence, where there is English Influence, even tend to make It lesB cheap and vulgar? Is It not unfortunately the fact that the very thing that modern America admires In us Is our aristocracy, that the very thing that we admire in Amer Ica Is hor mere pertness and "puBh?" English praise 1b not a force recalling America to her primal republican ideal. American praise is not a force recalling us to Merry England. We are not even flattering each other's powers; we are encouraging each other's weaknesses. America finds It convenient to be a little less republican; that Is, a llttlo less American. England finds It convenient to bo a little less chiv alrous; that Is, a little less English. This simultaneous falling away they choose to call a fulling together. Americans on whom Benjamin Franklin would have turned bis back em brace Englishmen whom Dr. Johnson would have kicked down stairs; and be hold the wounds of an old war are healed! But neither people learns any thing except, perhaps, slang. England certainly does not learn democracy. The Americanized English nobleman does not become an Inch less of a noble man; he only becomes rather less of a gentleman. Lord Lnnsdowne at a Fourth of July festivity said that the mention of that date now involved no bitterness. This is quite true. The fourth of July lias lost all its venom; and the simple reason Is that it has lort nil Its mean ing. What the Fourth of July originally meant we have no space here to In quire; It meant a great many things. Hut ono of tho thlnns It certainly meant was this, that there nuphf to be no such person as "Lord" Lansdowne in tho world. What Japanese Loans Are h By Thomas 0HE loans that have been issued are based upon two things, the resources of tbe country, upon which is founded the ability of the government to pay, and the security offered for regular payment of the interest. The two foreign loanB already placed have their inferest secured by the customs receipts and the tobacco monopoly, both assets liable to fluctuation. But on their face bankers in London and New York have apparently thought them sufficient guarantee for the amount of Interest involved, the security for tho prin cipal being the national credit. Would they have been accepted as a guaran tee, however, for ten times the amount? Most certainly not. Therefore, had 10 times the nmount had been offered, instead of it all being taken, none would have been taken at nil. Again, it must be remembered that banks have not been the real takers of these loans. The bulk of tho money has come from Individual Englishmen and Americans, who in view of reputable banking firms underwriting the loans, accepted them as a good investment at the market price, which nets about eight percent. It is amusing to see the turn which the pro-Japanese propaganda, both east and west, has given the accept ance of these two loans In England and hulled by the propaganda as evidence ments are backing the Japanese government in the war, and that these two wealthy countries stand ready to continue to provide the funds. It is hardly necessary to point out the error of this land invest in the Japanese loans Just as they do in Galveston municipal bonds, on purely business principles. As long as they think the security Is good they will continue to Invest, but the moment they begin to suspect tho security offered they will not have them pensates them for the risk taken. The the war undoubtedly know this, but to entertnin some very elusive hopes Prospects of Japan." What Children Say N Cjhf-r By Agnes HERE Is no more cheering proof of our robust national hu mor than th6 gradual elimination from print of Infantine- Ti witticisms and repartees. They can never be eliminated from conversation, because in conversation we hnve always fl the parent to reckon with, and the parent's standard of hu- 1 mor differs materially frcm our own. It Is the parental privilege to repeat with pride those artless remarks which make the life of the nursery, and which do not imply, as wo might ignornntly suppose, any vital deficiency in the Intel lect of the child. Anxious friends, hearing them, wonder now and then why the father does not consult a specialist, and make sure that his child Is not feeble of mind. But there is no need for this concern. Tbe chances are that what the child realty said wasn't half so bad as the thing we hear repeated. It is the editing of such speeches which gives them their alarming fatuity. At least they are becoming more not receive let us be truly grateful. Perhaps it is because English people see less of their children than we do, and hear them less, that they are so ready to read about them in the said pages of Punch. Punch rings true.

Woman's Journal. Latest Footwear, Devotees of style, when they can afford It, have slippers and hosiery to match every gown, yet one may be well and suitably shod without going into this extreme. A pair of white satin or kid slippers with white stockings, are essential for all who would be considered well dressed, and these may be worn with any light evening gown even though It be colored. It Is the part of economy to have a pair of bronze suede or kid .slippers, with stockings to match. These may be worn at any time when black is not sufficiently dressy, and white is too much so. With afternoon dresses, for Instance, or half evening gowns, bronze Is pretty and the best of style. For the street, If economy is to be considered, a pair of varnished or patent leather shoes is best for after noon. For morning regulation calfskin pre vails, and low shoes will undoubtedly be worn all winter. There Is a slight demand for pumps for th'e street dur ing cold weather, but this lowest cut shoe will practically go Into retire ment from the street until next spring. With these four varieties and a pret ty pair of easy house slippers for comfort, the feminine foot is prepared for pretty nearly every occasion.

Philadelphia Record. Plumes In Hat. Conceding the maintained impor tance and popularity of ostrich plumes s Illustrated in objective garnishing en rich pattern hats, both of Parisian and of home creation, shown In the re cent expositions in certain of the wholesale millinery houses, It must be admitted- that seldom have they been more strongly contested in fa vor by fancy feathers than was appar ent in the decoratiqn of many of the new models. An increasing trend toward cocks' plumes .Is observable, notably those fashioned of the long curving tail feathers of some varieties of the do mestic bird; and touch use is expected to be made of curled lyre cocks' tails. Paradise-bird plumes appear on not a small number among the most charming hats which have latterly come out these plumes In some In stances, as is the case with the cocks' plumes, being mounted with heads. Marabout tips are still in infrequent notice on fine hats. Made owls' heads are in demand for the garniture of turbans, and heads mounted with wings have place on some of the hats in the medium sizes, and breasts and long bands tipped with small quills, montures of short quills, half-folded shoulder wings, long pelican quills, etc., are of the provision for the new season of Interest in fancy plumages. Large birds the creation of the manufacturer, and not of nature are meeting with decided acceptance as revived enrichment for hats; 'and very handsome French- model In mem ory is trimmed with natural South American humming birds. Tbe wisp or aigrette retain its long-held posi tion on the new small bonnets; and Just here mention may be made of the small feather-faced plaque in use for covering the crowns of hats, to which suited roses, generally, were the flow ers to be noted In the decoration of the models In Inter displays of bead wear. Employed chiefly in medium small sizes, and variously globular and of flat or crushed effect, they have been produced both In the colors of the blossoms of nature and in con ventionalized colors. .The September Millinery Trade Review. The Real American Woman. ' She lives In a small town in the Middle West. Strange to say, the highest praise that I ever heard be stowed on Bird Center came from a foreigner, a celebrated German archi tect, who had designed a soldier's monument for one of our Western capitals, ajid expressed our patriotic Ideals for us In public works in sev eral cities. "When I first went to your country,", he said, "I visited only the cities and there 1 looked in vain for anything peculiarly American, dis tinctly democratic, In your social life. I saw only a new version of London, Paris, or Berlin, a raw reproduction of the social order of the old world. But when I became acquainted with some of your little towns, there I found a phase of life quite unlike any thing we know in Europe, quite su perior to any social organism we have yet developed. There your people seemed really to believe that men are created free and equal. The same privi leges and opportunities are enjoyed by all. Men of all occupations and professions met on the same social footing. I have seen one of your" sena tors walking along the street In friend ly conversation with the man who made his clothes (the architect had no nose for political mice). I have been entertained by ladies who did their own work without fear of losing caste, who discussed art and foreign politics with me without suggesting the blue stocking or the new woman. These communities were often centres of culture and education; each shared his best with his fellows; and a'l seem ed united in tbe bond of mutual im provement "An Englishman once gave me his opinion that town life was the most satisfactory mode of living in Ameri ca. There is too much hurry and worry In your cities' he said, 'too much hard work and too great Isolation on your farms. Only the very rich among us can really enjoy either city life or country life. For the man of moderate means the small town offers' the greatest advantages.' A distin guished French woman who had been the guest of one of the professors of an Illinois college wrote In her pub lished impression of America: I found a real Utopia, a woman's paradise, a place where living was simple and natural, where no artificial barriers had been erected, where housekeeping was reduced to its simplest terms. My hostess and her three daughters lid most of the work of the house; the one who served us gracefully at the table played the piano with more than an amateur's skill; another chatted fluently to me in French while she made my bed; all three were students at the university from which their father and mother had graduated in the same cla.s."

The tint of the orange is becoming to the brunette with a fair complexion. A cavalier shape with a high crown was covered with pale blue silk and was trimmed with a crush scarf of silver gauze. Silver tissue hats were seen in plen- ' ty. Indeed, the silver tissue appears to be more popular, certainly It is more refined than the gold. A pretty model was a marquise shape with a wide brim, the founda tion of silver gauze being entirely cov ered with frills of silver lace. Red is becoming to either blonde or brunette, so that the skin be fair enough or dark enough and provided it is just the right shade of the hue. A lovely hat was a low crowned sailor of gold, tissue swathed In tulla of the deepest shade of claret red. On one side was a rosette of tulle and sold braid, holding two short red plumes. A beautiful creation in pink and silver, which looked fragile enough to blow away in the gentlest breeze, had a low sailor crown of transparent sil ver gauze and a rolled brim of white Irish crochet bordered with a wide fold of silver gauze over pink tulla A very smart hat of chinchilla in a turban shape had a fold of silver gauze tucked in between the crown and the rolled up brim, while on the side was a rosette of silver gauze ribbon and a 8 cart bow of heavy Reaaissanca lacs. deep cream, fastened in the middle with a handsome turquoise breech. v LI A.
