A TALE OF WAR. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO "Holy gorillas!" exclaimed the major, looking nuance at tho file of rookies who had just halted In a ragged line before him. "Ig this -what I left my stool for? I wo tired of that stool, too, hut I didn't know what was before me. No, I didn't knowl" Tbe major glanced down Hie file again and sized them up. First came a pale faced boy in store clothes and a celluloid collar.

Beside him stood the huge bulk of a longshoreman, next the nervous, wiry frame of a cow puncher, next a fat boy who for all the world might have just stepped out from between the covers of some musty copy of "Pickwick Papers," next a youth with a handsome pair of black eyes and line frank face, next a lank fellow twenty odd years with tbe look and the lean of a mountaineer, next? "Good Lord!" exclaimed the major. "An Indian, if I'm alive! And this is what I'm up against. For heaven's take, seargeant, take 'em away. tho barracks or to the devil, if you wish; but the next time you bring 'em out bavo 'em in khaki or I'll go mad." Tbc sergeant sainted and dragged tho batch across tho green to what the major bod called the barracks. These were six rows of milk white tents perched upon the crest of tbe greenest of bills, and that day they were silhouetted against the bluest of blue skies and a deeper blue sea.

The major stood for a time gazing despondently after the batch, but when be caught sight of the blue sea and sky his face brightened, and with a spring in bis steps and a song on his lips l.c climbed to the hilltop to one side of the camp, sat down on bowlder and gazed seaward. The sun warmed the major's back, the beauty that spread before him warmed his heart, and soon be stretched out upon tbe ground with a small stone as a pillow and went to sleep. By and by, bow long does not matter. Ire was awakened by voices and beheld before him the rookies sitting in solemn conclave a little way down'tbe hill. The pale faced boy was speaking.

"He ain't much for looks." "G'wan," Interrupted the longshoreman. ye moind thlm harrums o' lilsn an tbe snap In thlm goggles? Did ye moind 'cm? I ask ye. Well, ye kin look out for Mm moind ye, phwat Oi'm tellln gits, into onny fighttn." The eojypuneber opinloned of the major words too dreadful to print They were so unusual that even the longshoreman, he of the picturesque verenge, was shocked Into swallowing Iiis quid without a gasp and dropping his pipe. It was the fat boy's turn, but be only snored. Then the blaek eyed youth spoke up.

"Tom," be said to the cowpuncber, with a Bly twinkle ins bis eyes, "wo wouldn't mind your cursing If we could only understand what you said. Won't you sny It again?" The longshoreman aroused at that and, stretching bis long arm, he grasped tbo cow by -the collar and asked: "Was it that little major ye was cussjn In that way? Ef It was, Jest ye It, Moind. ye, dariin, it's Mike O'lloolihan o' tho Red Shtnr lolno Pbwats a-talkln to ye, moind." Then Miko dropped the cowpuncber, who fumbled around bis hip pocket for 2 moment and then lay still. The black eyed youth grasped Mike's band, and the talk passed to tho mountaineer. kc a revenoo mnn?" he asked.

'vo shot at a many a one of 'em, but never met 'em face to face." The cowpuncber looked gratefnlly at the mountaineer, nnd that time his baud lay upon his bip nocket meditatively. he asked. "Yep," aald the mountaineer. A moment of silence, and tho Indian 6'anced from oue to the other, grunted rolled over to sleep, with his head restmg upon the upturned stomach of tbe fat bnv rrni? ocuv me? majori mi? 1 of He could not get jn he would, so ho began to roll the hill ho had done many-a hoybood, and presently he agalast tho' guy ropC8 ot hi? tout The next that the major upon tbe of rookies it was with keen TntcrKow, between the mnjor and this file came a captain, two Heuten- i usual complement of eer Keanes uuu a t-urinrrni-ui these noue Is of any account In this yarn except the Arst sergrant, because he trained the rookies and made them what they were when they nnd the maJo? caiue to a perfect understanding, In. the meantime the captain had bit tbe dust at the stroke of a Mauser bullet, one- of the lieutenants had died of fever, and the other one had disappeared.

As for tho other fellows, uo sergeant but a first sergeant Is any good for a year, nnd a good for nothing at all. This sergeant was named Grimes. How old he was no one but he knew. He was a soldier, though, every inch of him, and vlien the scratch came it was he who placed lieutenant to the major. That came about because when tbe battalion deployed on the morning of that memorable day In the Jungle on the banks of Hell river Grimes' company took the center of line.

It was then that the sergeant and the major bad a tiff. said Grimes, "git out o' the way o' fire when them regulations say as ye must. In there where ye be ye'U be kilt" "I will not, Grimes," said tho major. "Did I get behind when we chased The sergeant gave- a. sardonic grin.

"That ye did not, major, God bless yt. out ye've got to thlB time." With that Grimes encircled tho major's waist with bis arms and made to bear bim to the rear, while the company lay smothering in the pampas, burning inside with desire to be up and at the run behind the sickly yellow flag that flopped beyond the hill. "Kittle bill, they calls It, eh?" said Mike, the longshoreman, to the black eyed youth. "Hlsht, phwat's thatr This time It was tho major speaking. "You knew I'd do it, Grimes," he said, "but you wouldn't heed." "By the 40 articles, it's your right," said Grimes, spitting out a discarded tooth, "but ye are behind me line." And he was, but the best Grimes could do could not make the major lie down.

The Une lay between Hell river and the hill, a thousand miles or more from the hill where we left tbcm awhile ago, with the rookies on one side snoring In the summer sun nnd the major rolling down the other side threatening nt every turn to burst his waistband with the laughter he was holding In. They were In another clime, too, under a sun that burned like a scourge. Mosquitoes? No, they were Mauser bullets, clipping at tbe tops of the pampas grasses, scattering the delicate blossoms on the heads of the file. Behind them were other files, some of them wading Hell river knee deep In mud nnd shoulder deep In But that didn't save them, for the fellows behind the yellow flag on the hilltop had got the range, and almost every minute some one of them went down to settle there In a slimy grave. Some cried out, others only groaned.

Some were silent and just sank, arms, haversacks all, to Join the roll of tbc "missing after the fight." But not one of the file In the front looked like a rookie. The fat boy was nearly as fat as ever, and his little pig eyes gleamed savagely as he strove to get two fat fingers Inside his trigger guard nt once. Now and then one of them swore. It was always tbo cowpuncher first, until he laid down his gun and crawled to tbe rear. A Mauser took him In tbe skull.

One kick, and he lay still. The lank rookie shuddered, and, Impelled by an impulse he did not understand, he rose to bring the cowpuncber back. Zing, zing, zing, zing, zing! "X.ls'en to thsm!" sang out tho black 05ed Loy. Down went the lank boy, his brains spilling Into his hat. Then there were five of them.

Where all the rest of the company was only they and maybe their officers knew. The pampas hid everything. They might have charged, nistory says they did, but there Is a dispute on a point of precedence In tho matter. Some say that the seven rookies nnd the major and Grimes wore left behind, but the major said no, and what were left of the lot agree with him. It was the mountaineer's turn to go.

It seemed, after the others had quit the light He saw those two lying side by side, nnd his nervous force left him. But he was no coward. He did not shriek, as he might have done and often had doubtless. He a good grip on his Krag, staggered up until his great length raised him even above the tops of tbe pampas. Then be doubled up like a jackknife, clapped his band to his throat and rolled over, with his head next to the Indian's ribs.

"God!" said Mike and glanced down the file. There were beside bim the Indian, the fat boy and Steve, with his black eyes flashing. They said nothing more, but lay listening to the major and Grimes, who were at it again. "Now, with Geronlmo," Grimes was saying, "we didn't have to wait for no orders. We got 'em first them days, eh, major? It's heads we wants.

It'll come, major, an afore long they'll be after makln major generals an sich out'n sergeants. Sergeants, I tell yel Be ye llstenln to me?" Just then came a tremendous shouting to the left. The big guns began to boom, and overhead the remnant of the major's file saw the shells sail and burst. One of them exploded directly I bverhead, and the fat boy yelled. "Keep it up, young un!" cried Grimes.

"It'll do ye good." The major began to get excited, and Grimes, watching him eagerly, whispered to the file: "Git yer knees under ye, boys. If yo fall us, It'll be worse'n a settln up ye'll get when the day's over." They got their knees under them, those four, nnd lny ready to spring. Grimes couid not keep his superior down, try as be would, and when a hoarse shout sounded near them nnd a white haired old man, alone and on foot, broke through tho grass before them, the ni shouted, "Charge!" and disappeared. Up they all went, but they fired never a shot until Vue slope of tbc bill brought them up, when, If bad looked back, ihey would have seen Hell river wirdlng its sinuous way amid the tangle, bearing on its mnddy surface a straying nnd melancholy fleet of empty campaign hats, solo siens of thoJte wim had worn them. But there was no such thing ns stopping until they were entangled In the barbed wire guard, half way up, where they stood in the line supremely helpless, but supremely heroes.

Not one had a knife save his bay ouot. But there Hopped" tue looking green now, in the rising inlsi of tho smokeless powder. How it mocked them only they can know. They clubbed their rifles and heat the tnngted wires down. Then they ran, tumbling, choking nnd crying, ontll the new turned clods on the earthworks beneath the flag met their eyes.

The major flung up his arms, nnd the sergeant had picked up the mountaineer's rifledropped down nnd fired. One volley rang out, then another, another and yet two more, and they paused to load again. A buglo called tho charge, and, still cramming the enrtridgee home, the little band rushed on. Another bugle call, and Grimes yelled: At 'em, nt 'em, at 'em, cr we'll get left!" Then they were where the mist and the smell of the fight held theni complete. One more rod, nnd their feet would be on dead earth.

Grimes waved his rifle iiiu head, and the fcur rookies formed a phalanx. In a time of peace Grimes would have laughed at the show they made. Funny? Granted, but funny nt grief is when a man's laugh grates a ad makes your blood run cold. Thon they marked time to the rhythudcal swing of Grimes' rifle, with the builets cutting the air between their very elbows. "Charge!" cried the major, nnd Grimes' rifle bumped his forehead In a salute.

And the phalanx charged evenly, step by step, stride by stride, until the major gave a yell that had been Geronimo's and their feet were upon the yellow clods, "FireI" yelled Five volleys blazed forth, and In a twinkle there was not a yellow face to be seen before them, for the trench was empty. There had been six of them at that supreme moment, and some hours later there were only four, but then the sun had gone In the faroff sky over the water the first lone star of the Southern Cross burned like a watch lantern against the blue black sky. All about them the campfircs burned, and over the hill and valleys hummed the sounds of thousands of men restlug on their arms. Tho four had dug two graves just outside the breastworks between the trench and Hell river, and In them they laid with reverent hands the bodies of the two fat boy and the Indian. Then they covered them over with the yellow earth and left them where they had fallen just outside the works nt the moment of victory.

"What a death to die!" said Sieve to the major, and In reply, while Mike Grimes and Steve stood with uncovered heads, the major lifted his face to the stars and uttered Geronimo's yell. Then they lay down to York Sun. lier Compliment, "Talk about your corduroy roads," said a young actress who played here recently, "just let me tell you about the jolt tut chambermaid dealt mo the other morning.

A man named Palmer a long time ago made the English town of Rugeley notorious by nn atrocious murder, and a deputation of the iuhabitants waited on home secretary with a petition fo: to change the name. The minister hesitated and asked what name iliey proposed to substitute. They replied that they had not decided.

"What do you say," he said, "to taking my name?" They expressed their unqualified delight and obtained the borne secretary's consent to this method of obliterating the memory of the obnoxious Palmer. The home secretary In question was Lord Palmerston. The town is still known as Rugeley. Dynamite. One of the peculiar actions of dyaamlte fts compared to other explosives Is that Its action Is downward.

-Often when in a quarry It is desired to break a huge rock quickly a cartridge of dynamite is simply placed on top of tho rock and nf ter being covered with a Hittie heap of earth Is set off. The rock Is split a number of pieces. Were black powder heaped on a rock In the same way the heap of dirt on top would simply be blown aw-ny, leaving the rock unharmed. This downward action of dynamite makes It at once the most useful and the mo3t powerful of explosives known. I once assisted at a number of experiments at the Stevens institute, It being desired to prove the downward action of dynamite nnd Its Incredible force.

A number of blocks of iron six inches in diameter and three inches thick were practiced "upon. An ordinary newspaper was spread over one of the blocks. A cartridge of dynamite wus placed on top of the paper, and after being connected with a fuse and covered with a heap of dirt the charge was set off. When the block wg3 examined after tho explosion, the print of the paper was distinctly impressed Into the surface of the iron. The reason wnn that the paper where the printer's ink had touched It was harder than the rest of the paper, nnd by the incredibly hard and sudden blow struck by the dynamite the imprint of the shape of the letters was made as plainly on the iron as If It had boon ehoese.

A similar experiment was then made with an ordinary oak leaf, and tho outline of the leaf, rib" and all. were gouged Into the iron. Both of these blocks of Iron are in the museum attached to the York Times. TllAPPED HOW BRAVE LAWTON CAME TO CCRNER THE WILY APACHf. Incidents Tkat Led l'p to Ilia Selection by General Miles tu Com-, maud the Expedition TUnt filad? the, Indian Chief a Captive.

An interestlm? story of how General Henry W. Lawtou received command of the detachments which were assigned by Geneial Miles to capture Geroninio nnd Natchez and their Apaches was i told in the army building recently. General Miles, it seems, had made up his mind to send out a detachment of infantry and a detachment of cavalry with orders not to return until Geronlmo was either killed or captured. The orders had not been issued, but it was quite generally known throughout the I denartniont nf west such a move was contemplated. Every olllcer who was in any way ambitious was aching for a chance to head the expedition, but no hint as to who would be chosen could he obtained.

It was known, however, that If a field officer wn? not appointed to command the two detachments General Miles would assign a cavalry officer to the post of honor. There was no chance that an infantry officer would bo chosen. Meanwhile word had come that Geronlmo had crossed over the line Into Mexico. At that time the United States government had nn agreement with Mexico whereby the nrmles of either nation pursuing a hot trail might cross the lino and enu-r either country. They were also at liberty to carry prisoners back to the respective countries.

Before ordering out Ids expedition General Miles, accompanied by Major Amos S. Kimball, set out for a small town on the Mexlcau border, where he met the governor of the Mexican province into which Geronlmo had entered. The conference wns satisfactory, nnd General Miles on his return to headquarters stopped over at Fort Huacbuca, where the Fourth cavalry was stationed. The general was entertained by the colonel of the regiment, and Major Kimball put up In Captain Lawton's quarters. But little sleep he got that night, for Law ton wonted to command that expedition, and lie declared that nothing else on earth would satisfy blui.

He sat up half the night Impressing his visitor with his fitness for the command. Mojor Kimball had heard of Lawton before, as Indeed bad all the army. His fame as a fighter was second to none. In secret he had formulated plans for the capture of tbo Apache chieftain, nnd there was not detail that bad been overlooked. He outlined to Major Kimball his Ideas of how a successful canifvilgn against the Apaches shoidd be conducted, aud iu conclusion he produced a letter from a former colonel who had recently been made a brigadier general.

The writer, in recommending Captain Lawton for promotion, said that be felt that Lawton was a man of so fine a record and soldierly attainments that be hesitated In recommending a man whom he knew was vastly superior to himself. "I feel," concluded the new brigadier general, "that Lawton sbould be recommending me. It is assumption on my part to praise him. Ho is above such praise as mine." That is, the letter ran as nearly llke that as the officer who told this story could remember. At all events General Miles and Major Kimball went to headquarters the next morning, and before nightfnll Lawton was there, too, In response to a telegram.

The captain was then duly detailed to command the expedition, nnd in a day or so it started out. General Leonard Wood, by the way, went along as surgeon In the Infantry detachment. Q'he expedition wns gone for months. Occasionally a beliographic message would be received, but otherwise the soldiers had disappeared as completely as though they bad never existed. Finally a message came to General Miles.

Geronlmo and Natchez and their Apaches had been cornered In Mexico, but the wily old Apache would surrender to no one but General Miles himself. Lawton consequently held the Indians and sent for Miles. The general arrived some time after, nud Geronlmo surrendered. Ho was put on a reservation and from that day was never within smelling distale of his old stamping ground nmoug rocks and cacti of Arizona. As for Captain Lawton, he looked iike a ghost, according to Colonel Kimball, who was present at the surrender.

There was nothing to him apparently but uniform and bones, and bis men were no better. Surgeon Wood, it Is worth while saying, took command of the infantry detachment upon the Illness of its commander. Soon after Captain Lawtou was rewarded by a post In the Inspector general's York Sun. Flow Warsaw Amuno? Its People. For 10 kopecks (3 cents) everything that Praga park, In Warsaw, affords Is yours.

A CERTAIN ARCHBISHOP. The l'nconriplon? Cruelty He Practiced When a SIrre rhlld. "Well do I remember certain archblsbop, now dead, describing the unconscious cruelty he practiced when a mere child under the Impression thnt ho was really exercising virtue, apparently on the principle of doing to others not exactly "as he would have cthc-ro do to him," but "as others did to him." His father. It seems, was a great disciplinarian. Among other useful lessons he was careful to teach his little 6on when at table to wait patiently till his elders were served nnd on no account to clamor for his food; It was, ho reminded him, so vulgar nnd a mark of ill breeding.

If "young hopeful" sometimes forgot the precepts of maturcr wisdom, If ho thoughtlessly thrust out his plate for more before the rest of the company were done, his lapse of memory was generally assisted by u. bhurp reprimand, und Instead of the savory ragout or juicy tipsy cake upon which ho had so greedily set his heart he was presented with piece of dry bread nnd told to ont that. In this way the lesson sank deeper. But the little- urchin wus evidently of opinion that others besides himself should prollt by it, so he applied it In his owu childish way to his friends the birds and tho beasts. On visiting the nest of thrush or blackbird In the early spring his indignation wus aroused beyond words by the quite too scandalously greedy behavior of the noisy young brood.

Each time he approached four or five bright yellow throats were stretched to their uttermost, nnd such gobble, gobble, filled the air that he felt he must really make an example of them and puulsh such intolerable greediness. With his own personal experience to suggest the most approved of methods he deliberately picked up a number ot pebbles from the gravel pathway ami calmly proceeded to feed the IrrepressI ble fledgelings with morsels of sand stone and grit. So loug as the young birds continued to open their mouths so long did he continue to drop dowi pebbles, feeling all the time, he me, quite satisfied thnt he was handing on to them the lesson that his parents had instilled into him at home When a week or more had elapsed ami chance led once again to the same spot tho silence of death lay around.
