It Wm Up to Ltentenaot Furrow
Once to Emulate Their Example,
bat the West Pointer Used HI* Wits
and Escaped the Ordeal.
The Indian scouts thnt Joined forces
with the United States army In 1S7S
to make prisoners of the Sheep Eaters
In western Idaho were' skeptical at
first of Lieutenant Farrow’s abilities
to lead them Into battle. They had
never seen his courage tested" and
plainly Intimated by word and action
that they had no Intention of obeying
his orders unless he should prove him
self braver than any chief, suhchlef or
buck In the command. •
First they gave themselves up to all
kinds of physical torture us a lesson
to him. They slashed their bodies
with knives without showing pain.
They silt the skin on their chests, r^n
si.ewers thereunder and Jerked off
cutaneous and fleshly strips while smil
ing happily In his face. They split
their ears, pierced tlielr noses, lacer
ated their cheeks, butcherei'^Clr arms
■md legs. Their stunts \i».* so far
beyond anything Farrow could infiici
upon himself that the poor young lieu
tenant thought he "saw his finish.”
Suddenly, while rivulets of cold per
jplration trickled down bis spine, the
West Pointer recollected tlint In tils
scboollmy days he was an adept at
driving a pin Into the thick of his
"vastus externus” without feeling pain
and the Joyful Inspiration to thus Illu
minate his courage seized him.
The necessary pin was In the lapel
of bis fatigue. Jacket Ruthlessly he
3llt the front of his breeches leg from
pocket to knee, then Ills drawers till
the front of the thigh, was eximsed to
the wondering gaze of the Indians
athered close around. Then dramat
ically exhibiting the pin. an affair of
an inch nnd a sixteenth, he reached
for a Hat s^oue and drove the harmless
bit of will* down to tlte bend In the
unresisting muscle. His handsome
face was as unclouded ns when he
helped to haze his first plebe.
The red men nodded approvingly,
grunted, looked wise and sat down on
their hnimekes. They bad seeu some
thing new. but wanted something more
convincing. Farrow realized this and
was In the seventh heaven of despair
as he smilingly pulled out the pin nnd
held It aloft for Inspection.
To show the white feather meant In
that hostile country lusulmrdlnntlon
and treachery. Involving Farrow’s
mysterious denfh. It was a moment to
try a soul—and to fry It. The lieuten
ant whispered to his trusted sergeant:
”1 am going to take a desperate chance.
I am going to shoot tnyself through
the bend with my revolver, but yon
stand beside your horse, and Just an
Instant before I shoot you tire your
rifle, yell 'Si-wash!' mount and make
off through the woods us fast us you
can ride. Don't forget to lire before I
do. else 1 shall be a dead man.”
pitting upon a Jagged rock, he ex
plained to the Indians what he wns
about to do.-and with great delibera
tion and some fine theatricals he cock
ed the pistol nnd placed the muzzle
against his temple. The Indians were
wrought up to o high pitch. They had
never seen a man shoot himself through
the head and live. Surely here was
the bravest of all brave leaders. They
would follow him through hell.
The-sergeant, unnoticed, fired Ills rl
tie. his "SI wash!” woke the echoes of
Shoshone and Bitter Root, and the clat
ter of his horse’s hoofs rang down the
Clear Water as far ns Fort Lapwnl.
"Si-wash?” The Indians knew what
that cry meant. In less time than It
takes to tell it Farrow was alone. His
forces had scattered to the four winds
In the course of a few hours all were
united agnlit, but the courage test was
not renewed
Twenty-two years after this exciting
Incident, on a certain evening lu 1900.
Farrow occupied a l(OZ In the Madison
Square Harden when Buffalo Bill's
Wild West was In full blast. Chief
Joseph, the celebrated commander of
the No: Perces. whom Farrow bad cap
tured 2*_‘ years previously and whom
be had not seen In the Interim, led a
wild, whooping, yelling, screeching
mob of painted Indians out Into the
arena for a dash around the circle
But the charge was Interrupted—out
short When Joseph reached the curve
near the Madison avenue end of the
amphitheater, he pulled Ills horse sharp
ly to the right, cutttug across the first
file of warriors In most dangerous fasn-
ion. In a ntad gallop he poked bis
charger’s head Into an arena box.
straightened up In his stirrups, held
out his. hand and cried: “How! How!
How!” The old fellow bad caught
Bight of Farrow, and nothing could
prevent him from riding up to salute
his captor of 1S78. It was a dramatic
Incident.—New York Press.

“I suppose that the American people
and the Russians are the only western
races that really keep warm In winter.
Still those who dwell In other countries
admit that they have the same Ideal Ijy
their Inefficient effort to att-\ia to it.’’
writes Anna X. Benjamin lu Alnslee’s.
“The Japanese winter Is most trying on
account of Its continual dampness, but
the Japanese are content to remain
cold. They make almost no effort to
overcome it. The old ’bushtdo' (chival
rous) Idea of the 'samurai' (knights)
wns that It wns effeminate to feel cold,
and such Is their severe training thnt
they do not renlly feel It ns we do. The
wearing of 'some extra ‘kimonos’ and
the use -of a ’hibnchl.’ or brazier. In
which are a few tiny sticks of lighted
charcoal, are the only concessions to
winter weather. With the ’hlliachl'
they never pretend to heat more titan
their finger tips, which they hold over
the coals. It is used when the bouse Is
entirely open.
“The bouses, ns every one knows, are
built of thin, light wood, and the slid
ing panels which serve for doors nnd
windows have paper panes. They are
as apt to lie open os closed during the
day. When I took my first Jlnrklsha
ride through the streets of Nagasaki. 1
forgot ray own sufferings In my s.vtn
patby for this unhappy nation, whleb
as surely as the cold came endured such
misery from it. The coolies wear thill
blue cotton clothes nnd are nlwnys pad
dllng through the mud. The stnrekeep
ere sit out In their open booths, and the
women go bareheaded about the streets
In the houses of the rich the still cold
behind the closed panels Is often more
Intense than thnt outside In the sun
shine, where the air Is stirring. The
schools and public buildings are equal
ly frigid.
"It seemed to me that the only warm
things In Japan were the babies, who
looked like bundles of coyly colored
era fie. tlielr round bends covered bj
knit caps. They slumber peacefully
tucked down their mothers’ backs. Tin
attempt to keep warm In winter is not
entirely s'modern llnpro.vement.'though
It goes with western civilization. The
Koreans do It very thoroughly, the 01)1
nose to a certain extent. The Japanese
as a race, continue to scorn It as they
always have done, aud this Is merely
one of a hundred examples which provi
that the Japanese are still true to then
traditions in tlielr dally life nnd os ye-
little affected lu the ordering of the!'
homes by the Ideas adopted from tb*
west”
A Scottish Echo.
The late Sims Reeves was fond of
telling a story that related to an early
engagement In Olnsgaw which was ar
ranged through a metropolitan agency
One of the Items on the programme
was “Hall. Smiling Morn."' nnd of
course Mr. Reeves was put down for
the solo portion. The chorus consists
of nn echo, and the London agent ns
sured the soloist that a satisfactory
choir had been engaged.
The whole matter wns settled hur
riedly. Mr. Reeves wns at first dtsln
cllned to accept, hs other engagements
prevented him from reaching Glasgow
In time for a rehearsal with the choir.
"Don’t worry about that, my dean
sir." said the agent. "Yon will find
the ebolr perfect.”
The concert wns a success, and In
due course "Hail. Smiling Mqrn!” wns
called for. When the soloist came to
the lines requiring an echo, lie deliv
ered them tn his best manner-"At
whose bright presence darkness files
away.” Imagine his horror when the
echo repeated his words In the broad
est Scotch:
“Flees awn', floes awn’!”
Yet Sims Beeves averred that Dot a
person In the audience smiled or ap
peared (o see anything incongruous.
When he talked over tlte matter with
a bailie nfter the concert, the good man
assured Iihu: .
“TImt's nothing at nil Yon were a
little wrong in your pronunetntloR. and
the echo was correct. You see It was
a Scottish echo.”-Youth'* companion
