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 love company,” sald'a local Mrs. Partington. "It makes things bright and lively—it breaks the anatomy.’’— New York Sun. raider In Houses of (he Rich Stan Than’In Open Sunshine. “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 PLANT SYSTEM. Florida and Cuba. Double Daily Passenger Service. TO Montgomery, Troy, Ozark, Dothan, Elbn.
