"The only way to tight an Indian ts to be more of an Indian than bo . la." ... . ... 5 . i- This wa3 my answer to Gen. N. A. Dudley when he asked my advicu about his great Sioux -campaign of I ?74,, Yofl shall see how success fully we followed tnat advice. , Uen. Dud ey was in command at Kort McFherson. Nebraska. It wr.j II the early spring of l b' 7 4. ' Th? Sioux were, on the warpath and ba l been murdering the ranchmen, burn ing small settlements, and otherwlEi discouraging pioneers from comm; West. The Sioux were clever in choostn; ?their time, for the spring Hood* were out. aod th s made pursuit al most impossible. We 'ccated then on toe opposite s:de or trie Plattu Kiver from us. The usually shal low ?trimm was a roaring torrent. The f?rrss were Impassable. Tt) bridges were swept away. No hors.? ?cou d swim the rivnr. Yet there w> were, heipless on cne bank, whl'e th..? Sioux were plundering at will on tho other. That was the situation. Knowing cue country and Indian customs. I was pretty sure where tho Soux had fbeir camp. It was on a fresh water 'al:e about thirty mllej trom the Platte. If we rouH strike and smash that camp tbey would go petting back to their agancy on tk<j Jump. But how to get to it. Ordinarily, a bridge spanned a f?.-anch or tc? strecm 'n aimost a straight lue from the place. Bui wben we got to tbp pl?.ee we founa It gone, l sc.or.ted aionj, shore. About ten miles down stream I found ?< crazy footbridge tnat had teld in s-dte or thp fr*?shet. It had held because tr.e waters found out let beyond each end of It. The br dgo was made or mxrds nriled acrosa iailea tree trunks. Rrsky foot'nt; for man. Never intended tor horse. Yet our oniy orn?r charce was to ride tor more than fifty mile- south, to a place where a stronger bri'ige fad once stood. If tbat were std: teer? we m ght crors. It would moan at oest a ride of a Hundred miles bet?re we could con- . to a po n: on the other bank opposite to Trnere I now stood. Thej f-irty miles more to tne Indian crip. Long bet?re that time the Sioux would have oeen warued cf our com ing and, got safely away. So. m despair, I rut ray horse ai "toe crazy footbrtdge. It wabb'ed and heaved, and the waters swerved up to its highest boards. A nasty rangero'us trip it was. but I mr.de It. 'J aen l recrossed and n-portei to ' Gen. Dudley. j tok him 1 bel'eved he could get bis troopers across :f the men went single tile and s'owly. and if each . r.Orse were ridden with iou.e rein.

Dismounting 1 crawled fcrward and came upon the whole vil ag6 fast asleep. Beek 1 went with my report, but as toe soldiers came up at dawn a few Indians had awaken ed. 'Dfae.r dogs scented us and barked. In an instant thj Sioux were on their feet and scatter'.ng_ over the plain. '1 tie speed witn which Indians can get up and scatter w^uld amaze a flock of quail.

Smuggling in the Philippine Is lands is assuming proportions that .make it-a,-menace?ta-inanlar.-xerer. nues. It will surprise- the orderly and law abiding to know that only recently a case of khaki smuggled into the-country by-way of the east coast of Luxon, was floated down La. guna de Bay and tho Pasig for dis tribution in Manila, yet such ie the fact. The cloth waa dropped on the east coast somewhere near Baler, lugged across the mountains to a seclude.! inlet on the lake and bodily brought into Manila. . Sleuths of the Govern ment got track of It before it wa* landed, but there was .no way to stop it. There is smuggling too, 'in the north country, but . its grea.tet t home is in the Sulu archipelago,, wit}. Borneo as its base. There In tha back alleyway of the sea, it has gom on for ages without let or hindrance. Hundreds of swift going vintas arc engaged in the illicit trade and here tofore they have carried oa the traf flc in the light of day. it has never been anybody's bus' nens to watch them. The trade w?: good for Borneo and Spanish sovej eignty sat lightly in the sea of th> Dyak8. A month ago when a legte lative committee went from Maoil to Investigate the question It foun a hundred boats loading corrtraban-' on the Borneo coast and it stumbV upon a party of ninety Chinese w were coming to the Philippines b. the underground. Suppression" of the use of oo.ut in the Philippines has ma4e the dm; tho great priee of smuggling. Iths? gone to a fabulous price in Manila Iloilo, Cebu and other cities and thore are riches for the fel'.ow wbe can run it across the Sulu sea. And thure is monoy in the other articles as witness the innocent khaki ciotV that circled Luzon and came in by way of the'Luguna excursion route. Th* Government is Dl?nning to mee tho Sulu situation by building a fast cutter, hut two could do more work than one, and there mu?t later be another for the north coast and late another for the east coast. Her Little Mistake, I A lady who has a great respect fo; the* conventions, and also s.n abicinf j feer of the mental angles of the "heathen- Chinee," says a writer lr. ! the Bohemian, recently went down into New York's Chinatown and thqre began a search for a eurio tc git e to a friend. She walked into a shop on Pell street, acknowledge the bow of the grave gentleman "wr.r1 owned the place, and looked abont her. She noticed a curious dagger, and In the patois which she had sup posed all Chinamen to understand, said: "Say. John, how mcchce kebehum this knife?" The price named seemed *o he) enormous. "What a matter yeuT* wrM tho lady. "No wan tee bnyee store wan tee got knife." The proprietor gravely took the da^ser flroa her hand. "The price, madam," he seid, in pet feat English, "is twent>y-fiv? dol laru, as.l tJhe price is reasonable. The knife is considered 0:10 of the finest ' specimens of the work of Muey Ling, the armorer who won fame la th? fourth dynasty. If madam t il! loot: c'oasl-y sfcq may be aiic fco see tiie mark." Tr-en he held the bla^ up fcr her neeivr vision. "And eo you know," said the lady, when speaking of the.recurrence, "he so took me off my feet th,-*t I fled from the shop with a hastily stam mered apoiogy. "I understood later that he was ? k college graduate a-sd cne of the men who are 'advancing China.' But what I have never been q*iie able to solve, is whether he expected me to Believe in Mr. M(pey LiAg of the fourth dynasty, and how ranch he wan just having fun with the intelli gent American woman whe was try ing to talk down to him."

Collect Prof, Haggerty's Bananas as He Tests Their limitative Faculties. Becaust it was a very hot day and news -vaj dull the city editor sent a rx^porteiuto..tJae?Ke*?Yttck .Bionjc JZoo. to see how Melvln Haggerty, a Har vard Prof2ssor. is getting along in me monkey house; where he Is spend ing ihe. summer in the" Interest, of. Cambridge culture., Hejs getting a line or several lines, on the intetli l ence of the Intelligent monk. The City Editor wanted some too. You don't need a guide to point Haggerty as you survey the" monkey cages. Haggerty had his cloibes on. Strolling up'to the cage the reporter asked pleasant.y: Does It seem sort of natural in tbere?" Although bis name does not sound as if he came from Harvard, there :an be no doubt taut Haggerty knows his Back Bay and tnat he la bearing well in mind that a certain other Il lustrious alumnus Is going to get $1 ?i word Tor all he says about animals, therefore Mr. Haggerty is not going lo give gratis to the public print alrit he is finding out from his asso ciation with tne monkeys. If it does ieel natura"! for him to be with them, he is not going to tell the re lorters. and he did not tell this one. dut once out of the cage, the young man or sc ence Is quite like other folk, and taiks enthuslastlcaliy of the r>ow;!biJities or Just what monkeys think of the rest of mankind. Hp's boon with the monkeys quite a while now, and already he knows more tricks than Marceline ever dreamed of. It is stated on good au fhoruy-. however, nat Haggerty will not be turned from his serious pur pose by ar.y tempting offers he may. ret trcm The stage. He is there to btudy monkey psychology to the end that Newport may not have anything >u Harvard in the future. His able Msintants are two cultured ringtaJIed monkeys win are said to be honor ary graduates of the university. At r.ny rate they are highly educated and extremely useful as the connect ing links?or massing links, if you will?between Haggerty and the oth ?r inhabitants of the cages.' Haggerty has started in with the twenty ringtails of the Zoo. and whPii he wrings out all the knowl edge thai they possess he will pass up the scale until he reaches Baldy, fbe enimpauzee. It is no secret in tha.monkby house that Baldy is "iay tv.g" tor ihe Haggerty person, and t?at it will talft a full-sized Harvard intellect ana some muse-le to cope vitn the b;g fellow, it may all end nitn chimpanzee literature being eu r.enea by a treatise from Baldy on W aat i Know About Man." There are a iew ether things oomtag Hag gerty's way. so the keepers say, with cminous shakes of the head. One of the young man's methods of finding out how much sei.?*? die monkeys possess is by a trick bnx in Raw Lungs. When the lungs art? sore ard in flamed, the germs of pneumonia ind consumption find lodgement and mul tiply. Foley's Honey and Tar kills the cough germs, cures the most ob stinate racking cough,heals th? lungs und prevents serious results. The genuine is in the yellow package. A. C. Dukes, bowman Drug Co. A man can get awful morbid over the political depravity of the country if be doesn't like the coffee Iiis wife gives him. wii.eu /it placed iouo. ibe monk wdo d.scovers how to open the box is considered to be far more intelli gent than the one: who rudely demol ishes the apparatus in order to get what Is Inside. But the latter mon key eats first . _Haggertr^rst lets one of his pet monkeys open the box Tn full "view"?f" the cage full of monkeys. There Is great.excitement when. the..animal who has.had,the benefit.of a -Harvard, education pulls out a banana.. But I let it be said to the credit of higher education in the Bronx, thai the Zoo monkeys have proved themselves apt pupils. While they don't display the Tue HOTKEY f'nerse that only the Cambridge at r.iosnhere gives, nevertheless they ?generally get the banana, and that's what counts here in New York. Another apparatus used by the Professor Is a rope operating through a pulley suspended from the ceiling. A banana is attachec to the upper end of the rope, while the lower end dangles just above a hole in a plat lorm resting under the apparaius. The trick monkeys lower away on a rope until the fruit descends within reacn. . Recently Harrigan, a big musc'ed monk, was led out 01 his cage, after he hau seen the trie!: performod a number of times. Plainly showing lack of education, Harrigan grabbed the rcpe violently and puliedthe whole business down. The Harvard monkeys chattered their disgust as Harrig: n ran off with the banana. Prot. Haggerty Is taking bis jG5 very seriously, and does mort of his stunts whils the public is not around. So don't go up to the Zoo expecting to see a free show. It gigantic size may be judged by Buried Church Treasure In England. There must be a good deal \ of treasure m t^o i&tm ?I ip&ta and so forth concealed in different parts of the country, as quantities of it were buried at the time of the dis solution of the monasteries. There are two legends in Worces terstiire regarding some silver bells, tor ;ns?ance, which have been handed down most persistently from one generation to another, since the six teenth century. One version of the story is that the bells were buried by the last Abbott of Evesham, --Abbot Lltcnfield, In a subterranean passage which formerly existed beiween the abbey and a house on the opposite oank of the river, while the other story has it that a peal of sliver bells was buried at the same period (the dissolution of the monasteries) at Abbots Morton, a village ten miles distant from Evesham.?Wide World Magazine.

I began to use the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and after., using them three times, the sores com-v menced to heal. He is now well, and not a scar is left on his body.
