INDIANS AND THE ARMY. The Old Time Officers Were the Red skirs' Best Friends. Washington Post. "The best friend the Indian ever had was the old time regular army officers." said T. P. Montgomery, a cattle raiser of Miles City, Mont., the other day. "and incidentally the best friends the young cub officer had was the old time Indian. I have lived in Montana. Nebraska and Idaho ractically all my life, and I saw and took part in many of the Indian cam paigns of twenty and thirty years ago. During the Indian wars I saw hun dreds of things to prove to me the bonds of friendship existing between the boy officer and the wily old In dian even when the latter was on the warpath. "In the summer of 1876. about the time of Custer and the Little Big Horn, I was in Montana. The chey- I enne Sioux were giving the settlers trouble, and two troops of cavalry had been sent after them and were encamped on what is now my own ranch. The old officers at the time had a habit of sending out a lieuten ant with three or four men on scout ing expeditions. . t "The young fellows just out of the i Point would gallivant around the country, running down Indians and v half the time not succeeding very : well. During this Cheyenne out- g break this plan was followed, and a c merciful providence alone knows how C near to death some of these young t army fellows came. 1< "One old Indian told me afterward a that he and a party of his scouts were f; in hiding one afternoon when a lieu- 1< tenant and three privates rode by s< looking for them and less than twen- a ay yards from where the Indians were fl hidden. Did the Indians shoot? Of cl course not. They knew the young li lieutenant, had probably swapped to. a] bacco with him, and they allowed c< him to pass by unharmed. ir "You' will find in the west today b: that practically no prejudice exists rr against the Indian on the -part of the bi old army officer-the -officer who fought Indians on the plains in the sixties and seventies, when fighting was real fighting. Many of the offi cers, strange as it may seem, were ty adopted into the various Indian tribes, ta against some of which they were af- Ja terward compelled to fight." 0 - w: The Informel Danish Kcing. D The people of Copenhagen, writes gg a correspondent of the London ru Chronicle, betray no surprise wvhen ce they see their venerable monarch ap- pa proaching, and the'y treat his appear- 19 ance in the streets as one of the or- ti< dinary daily incidents. ta: King Christian takes his walks da abroad quite informal2y and without di1 ceremony. A year or two ago I be was walking in Copenhagen with an Englishman resident in that beauti- FC ful and delightful city, and he called F< my attention to a stately white hair- F( ed gentleman with a kindly face who Fc came toward us leaning on. a stout cane. As we drew level with,him he stopped and extended his hand to : another pedestrian who' had saluted wi him respectfully and unaffectedly ex- be, changed greetings. Tc Then he strode on, and but for the Tc lifting of hats and the genial ac- Tc knowledgement of salutations~ there . was no sign that a sovereign was dis~ making a progress in his capital. ha; Ne One day as a magpie had taken a Ch seat on a limb near the highways, two St. travelers came along and halted un- Bis der the tree to rest. They soon ob- Ut served the bird and nevdr having seen WI one of its species before one of them Pr< called out: Lit "Behold the eagle! What a noble Ex bird!" Zic "How beautiful! How grand!" added the other. lev: Filled with conceit, the magpie be- the gan to chatter her satisfaction at the tho words, -but she had scarcely opened I her mouth when one of the travelers pay exclaimed: dol "What fools we are! I know from 19o what I hav-e read- that this bird is 190 only a common magpie." "And let her begone," added his friend, as 'he picked up a stone and sent it whizzing at her head. S A crow which had seen and heard abo all withont being noticed himself now the scratched his ear and murmered: "Tf some folks would only keep their mouths shut, what credit they .would get for what they they don't 'know!" Rough on Mark Twain. Mark Twain tells an interesting story in connection with the late Charles Darwin. He was informed by a friend, who was visiting the emi nent scientist, that he had noticed a copy of "The Innocent Abroad" lying on the great man's table. Darwin re quested him on no account to dis turb the book, as it was his practice to read it night and morning. On the appearance of Darwin's biogra phy. Mark Twain hastened to pur chase a copy in order to ascertain what reference to himself it might :ontain. There was, however, no mention whatever of his name, the >nly possible allusion to him being :he statement that Darwin in his old tge suffered from some kind of brain )aralysis which prevented him from t ollowing his ordinary mental pur- a ;uits and ,compelled him to solace S imself with "trashy novels and va :uous humor." t f r Eats With Gold Chopsticks. So far as personal appearance goes s t: he Chinese empress is a picture of t igor, with piercing black eyes, hair n yed jet black and pretty little hands, ] those nails, several inches long, are b rotected by golden shields like elon ated thimbles.

LEPIlNG PACE WITH DEMANDS. 11his Will Be Truly a Greater State Fair-It Begins on October 25th Ample Arrangements. The State Agricultural and Mechani al Society purchased one hundred cres of level land in the southern >art of Columbia last spring on which o hold its annual South Carolina State rairs. This change was made neces ary because the old grounds were too mall to accommodate the large num 'er of exhibitors and visitors who an tually attended the great fairs, and be buildings were no longer suitable or the purposes for which they were 4 uilt. On the new grounds there is oom for everything and for every ody, and they are more conveniently 1 iti:.-ted to the transportation lines tia. the old grounds were. The dis ince is less than a half mile from the 1 ew union depot, and the grounds are ached by several fine roads and by le street car lines, and no trouble will e experienced in handling the large mewds that are sure to visit Columbia. Isitors will find everything brand new lis year. The buildings are all modern a i construction, large, airy, and com >rtable, all one story, with numerous ( tits and wide aisles. One building is evoted entirely to the handiwork of omen, and is set apart from the other aildings so that the fair sex may en iy themselves without -interruption. nother building is d.evoted to the agri- C iltural exhibits and implements, and 7other to the commercial exhibits. hen, the poultry building occupies a C ry prominent location and is very rge and roomy. The live stock barns .e so arranged that all visitors can fely and conveniently pass through I of.them and see all the stock at any me, and the management specially ( quests that visitors avail themselves this opportunity. The regulation mile race track is 1. ted in the southern part of the ounds, and is a beauty. The races - ay be viewed from the Fair grounds 1 it be preferred to do so, but a large, mfortable grand stand is located at ,e finish of the home stretch, where r e races can be viewed to much better vantage and with more comfort. The Larter stretch is not separated from F e grand stand, as was the case on e old track, but all are combined ider one inclosure, thus increasing e social part of the meet. The Midway or Pike is located near e main entrances, and will be filled th all-the modern shows and attrac mns, w,i th wares from very part of e world, and with people from every '" ,rt of .the world. The athletic ounds are located just opposite the Idway, on the other side of the f trance. Here will be played two eletgmsof football during The railroads have ofered very pJa eap rates on account of the flrstliU 'eater State Fair, -and they will run V >st convenient schedules from all II stions of the State. In view of all e attractions that have been ar aged for, there is no risk in saying Lt the large crowd of last year will doubled this fall, and that this sat gathering will be more easily ac- S rnmodated thanu in any former year. ery one ought to attend the only r fair and social event in the State.
