A PAYMASTER'S FLIGHT, B
' fi
‘ o n
Lé By ALEXANER ELY. y}
LQEEEEsE'EESE‘EEESU
" When I was a sergeant in the Uni
ted States cavalry in the Far West I
was detailed one day to command
eight men acting as a guard to Major
8., who had paid off the force at our
post and was going to pay those at
j:he next. He was a small, baldhead
‘ed, lean man, except a round stomach,
wvhich begins to protrude upon some
beople after they pass forty, with a
crafty eyve and a silent tongue. The
only words he spoke were directions
as to handling his safe, a small af
fair that could easily be lifted by two
men and for which a place was ar
ranged on a buckboard wagon which
the major always used to transport
the treasure. His clerk drove the
horse, while the paymaster sat be
side him, the safe between his legs.
The country through which we es
corted the paymaster contained a
wild and lawless people. I thought
at the time that eight men, though
drilled soldiers and well armed, were
a small guard for such a purpose,
Whether the major thought so or not
I .didn’t know at the time, for he
said nothing about it. I learned af
terward that the colonel commanding
wouldn’t give him any more, and the
paymaster entered on the trip under
brotest.
We were crossing a part of what is
called the Great American desert or
alkali plains, with nothing there
higher than a man’s waist. I rode
a couple of hundred yards in advance,
keeping a sharp lookout in every di
rection. For more than half a day
not a living thing except the mem
bers of our party and gophers was
in sight. But suddenly in turning to
look to our right and rear I saw on a
rise far in the distance a mounted
figure looking at us. I judged from
the general outline of horse and man
that he was an Indian. After what
appeared to be a careful survey of us
he disappeared on the other side of
the rise. ;
I felt a bit uneasy. Turning, I di
rected each man to see that his arms
and ammunition were in order and
notified the paymaster of what I had
seen, It didn’t seem to trouble him
much. We jogged on for a few miles
and when emerging from low ground
suddenly heard a mingling of yells
and saw on our right a motiey crew
several times as large as our own
coming down on us. They were evi
dently a mixture of road agents and
cowboys, with a sprinkling of Indi
ans. Their leader rode in advance, a
revolver in each hand, the only one
of the lot who was not velling.
I had just time to draw my men up
in line between the orcomers and the
buckboard before they came within
close range, and I told nach man to
pick one in front of him as nearly as
he could estimate, My men were
armed with repeating rifles, while the
attacking party had some guns, but
mostly revolvers. I waited till they
came within 300 yards before I gave
the order to fire. Nearly every one
of my troops brought down his man.
The gang hesitated, and I gave a sec
ond order to fire. This halted them; |
but rallied by their leader, they came!
on, bringing us within range of their
revolvers, and my men began to get
hurt. TFor some minutes there was a
continued firing on both sides, several
of my men being put out of the fight,
though but one was killed. My ef
fective force was reduced to four
men besides myself, Major 8., and his
clerk, It began to look as though
the robbers were going to get the
safe.
Suddenly I was astonished to see
Major 8., who had stood in the buck
board using a rifle, jump down from
the wagon, cut the traces, spring on
the horse’s back, and away he went
like an arrow, The act demoralized
my force so that they broke. 7T failed
to rally them, and we were all soon
tumbling after the paymaster. His
clerk mounted the horse of the man
who had been killed and joined in
the flight,
Never have I been so incensed in
my life. The paymaster, a commis
sioned officer, by his cowardly act had
cast discredit on me and my men, 1
had the mortification to uee the ban
dits ride down on the safe and caper
joyfully about it. All I could do was
to help the wounded men of my com
mand along, supporting them by turn
in their saddles.
But what surprised me was the
fleetness of the major's horse. | am
no judge of horseflesh, and 1 had mis
taken the animal that drew the buck
board for a mere beast of hurden.
Looking ahead, I could see the pay
master miles in advance, fleeing as
for dear life, and in time he disap
peared altogether. For once in my
life I placed money bhefore human
life and wished he were in the safe
and the funds were on his lorse, |
thought with some satisfaction how
I would prefer charges of cowardice
against him as soon as we reached
the post we were making for.
The bandits, having secured the
safe, paid no further attention to u',
and we rode on to our destination
What was my astonishment on riding
into the garrison to see Major B. sits
ting coolly smoking hefore an extem
porized desk with heaps of bills be
fore him paying off the enlisted men.
His belly was gone. It was plain
that he had tdken it off and placed
it—a heap of money—on his desk.
“Thanks, sergeant,” he said, ‘‘for
your fine defense. I have reported
you for gallantry, and you’ll hear
from it. The robbers got the safe
with nothing in it. I'd rather rely
any time on that mare of mine than
a safe. Sorry any of your men got
hurt. Next!” And, having paid off
the man before him, he devoted him
self to the next in line.—New Haven

2000 ACRES OF FLOWER GARDEN
Something About the Town Which
Ships Beans to Bosten,
Writing from Weimar, Consul Wil
liam L. Lowrie says that Erfurt, a
thriving commercial city of Southern
Prussia, with more than 100,000 in
habitants, is known throughout Ger
many ‘as the “flower city.” It has
a world-wide reputation for flower
and farm seeds and plants, the trade
in which the Consul portrays as fol
lows: .
“The declared exports of these pro
ducts to the United States in the last
ten years amounted to $561,741, last
year's shipments being worth $53,-
888.
“The origin of the industry dates
from the tenth century, and it was
developed by the monks of the Peters
monastery. The growth to the pres
ent large proportions is of mtch more
recent date. Since 1880 the business
of raising flowers and garden seeds
and plants in Erfurt has increased
rapidly, until it is now five times as
large axit was a quarter of a century
ago. YWhen the land failed to pro
duce good wine grapes the people
turned their attention to the seed in
dustry as a mean of saving their
waning fortunes. In former years
the hills about Erfurt and Jena were
famous for their vineyards. The
wine was sold mostly at Weimar,
about half way of the distance be
tween those two cities, giving this
place its original name of Wein
markt, which was changed later to
Weimar.
“The soil about Erfurt is especially
adapted to the culture of vegetables
and plants. It is deep, rich and well
watered. The annual rainfall is
heavy, and the surrounding hills
afford good protection from the cool
winds which sometimes sweep down
from the Thuringerwald. . There are
108 concerns engaged in the seed in
dustry, also thirty-five seed exporters
and twenty-four florists. An idea of
the extent of this business may be
gained from the area of, glass em
ployed. The total is 113,735 square
Ireters (square meter equals 10.764
Yquare feet), of which 30,867 square
meters cover propagating houses, and
82,858 square meters are used over
specially - fertilized beds. Nearly
3000 people are employed in various
capacities.
s ‘“While there are no statistics
available in regard to the total an
nual output of the Erfurt® seed and
plant concerns, a single firm produces
each year 70,000 to 80,000 cyclamen,
400,000 lilies of the valley, 60,000
apple sprouts (in pots), 20,000 pear
sprouts, 10,000 plum, apricot, peach
and quince sprouts, 30,000 straw
berry plants, 300,000 short stemmed
and 40,000 long stemmed roses.
“About 2000 acres of land in the
city and the immediate vicinity are
devoted to gardens. This land is
owned by the Crown, the city and
private individuals. It is leased to
the various concerns at rentals de
pending on the location and on the
productiveness of the soil. . Owing to
the rapid growth of the city, which
rivals the percentage of a Western
boom town in the United States, quite
an area of the best garden land has
been plotted into city lots and is fast
‘being covered with fine villas and
houses.
} “The cultivation of the gilly lower
in ¥rfurt dates from 1810. 1t first
’ax)peared in the window of a citizen,
and from this one pot hundreds of
thousands of these flowers have been
promulgated. The estimated annual
production is 680,000 plants. To the
same extent, or nearly so, is the cul
tivation of the calceolaria, verbena,
petunia, gloxinia, zinnia, pansy, car
nation, balsam, phlog, hollyhock, pe
largenium, fuchsia, azalia, ete.,, in
almost endless variety. It is esti
mated that the annual output of
flower seeds is not much under
1,000,000 marks ($238,000).
‘“Vegetable and farm sceds are cul
tivated in large quantities and in
lgreat variety, Among them are in
cluded 101 kinds of peas, 16S of
heans (700 bushels shipped this year
to Boston to help make up the deficit
in its staple food), 269 varieties of
kitchen herbs, thirty-four of onions,
|etc., sixty-five: of grass for fodder,
thirty of clover, 320 species of pota

| vegetable seed cultivated in Erfurt.

REAL BABES IN THE WOODS.
They had not lived in the country
long, the Browns had not. They had
just moved into the pretty-farmhouse
a few days before the things told
of in this story happened. There
were Papa Brown, Mamma Brown,
Bulger Brown (a little boy) and Sis
sy Brown (a little girl).
Now, before I go any farther, I
must tell you that Bulger’s real, sure
enough name was not Bulger; it was
Franklyn James. And Sissy Brown’s
real sure-engugh name was not Sissy,
but was Stella May. But as Papa'
and Mamma Brown always called
them Bulger and Sissy it is better for
me to do the same. So, ¥t them be
known in this story—which ig a very
short one-—as Bulger and Sissy.
Well, on the third day after the'
Browns had moved into tgelr new
country home Bulger and Cissy went
out into the big yard to play. And
after they had explored every inch of
the yard they decided to investigate
the barnyard. And it was snch loads
of fun to chase the big rooster about
the barnyard, and to hear the hens
cackle as if they were quarreling with
them for their mischief. Then they
visited the pig pen. And such a fun
ny lot of little piggies there were in |
it, too, trottiné\gbout—tans twisted
into knots over their backs—after a
very fat mother had grunted, grunted,
every minute, and who lookefl%; rd.
Bulger and Sissy with a distrustful
glance. ; S
Then there was nothing neml-;
Bulger and Sissy about thee,
yvard and barnyard. And they stood
looking at each other, wondering
where they should go. s,
Bulger, being five years old, spoke
first. ‘“Let’s go down yonder.” An
he pointed to a line of timber about
a quarter of a mile from the house.
Sissy, being four years old, trusted
to her big brother’s judgment and
said: ‘‘All wight, buver.”
Then away the two totlings went,
hand in hand, toward the dark woods.
“It’s very big an’ dang’rous,” ex
plained Bulger, pointing to the line
of timber. ‘‘Maybe bears are there.”
Sissy held tighter to Bulger’s hand,
not fearing even bears while safely
guarded by him. “But no bears will
bover us—for I won't let ’em,” went
on Bulger.
And then they reached a few of |
the outside, straggling trees. ‘‘Oh,
it isn’t so very big an’ dark, is it?”
asked Bulger.
“No, it’s just bufi-ful,” said Sissy.
But still she clung tightly to Bulger’s
hand.
And so they walked about and
about, going a little deeper-and a
little deeper into the woods. And
then it became a little darker and
they could not see so far about them,
and Bulger decided they would better
return to their home, *“I dess we’'d
better do home, Bulver,” said Sissy,
seeing the uncertainty in her broth
er’s face,
“Yes, it’s mos’ dinner time,” said
Bulger, not wishing Sissy to know'
that he was getting a bit afraid of
the lonely woods.
And so they started out to go home,
but, having forgotten just which way
they had come, they went in the
wrong direction. And so they walked
and walked, growing =o tired at last
that Bulger said that he would have
to sit down and rest a bit,
And all the while they had been
walking both Bulger and Sissy had
been afraid, but neither owned it to |
the other, ‘
While they sat on the mossy bank
of a little brooklet Sissy fell asleep,
her head in Bulger's lap. Then Bul
ger's blue eyes grew heavy, and he,
too, fell into slumber, forgetting
where he was and that there might
be bears in the woods.
And there is no krowing how long
the two little Browns might have
slept in the woods or whether or not
they might have come to harm, or
have been forever lost, or whether at
night the birds might have felt pity
for them and covered them with
leaves; but about half an hour after
they had fallen asleep their own dear
mother found them, and, lifting Sissy
in her arms and calling gently to Bul
ger to wake, she kissed each and'
said: “Thank God, I found my dear |
little babes safe in the wood.” And |
Bulger and Sissy were thankful to be |
found, too, and promised never to go
away from home again without their
mamma’s consent.—~Washington Star. !

Then Nelson showed the side of his

Pasco uttered an exclamation of

him and asked him what was the
matter,
“Nothing which need trouble your

“You are not the man to lose your
temper for nothing,” rejoined Nel

“Well, if you must know, my lord,
I will tell you. You see that coxs

Scolding.
Perhaps most of the scolding done
in the world is between husbands and
wives or between parents and chil
dren. Parents must instruct their
children; they must sometimes re
prove them. They must often coun
sel them. But they are in great dan
ger of “‘provoking them to wrath'—
in the wise Biblical phrase. Children
have the keenest possible sense of
justice; they are also very easily
hurt; and when their minds are
bruised the result is estrangement,
and that is as sad a thing as can ever
be. An imperious, scolding father or
mother frightens the children away,
drives them into all manner of eva
sions ‘and subterfrges, and brands
their minds forever with the memory
of ecruel and blistering words.—

The Coat Gown, o
Two real French “gowns which are
coats,” as Miss Elizabeth White put
it, caused several hundred women
and three men to gasp as with one
throat at a session of the Dress
makers’ Protective Association of
America, at the Masonic Temple,
Twenty-third street and Sixth avenue,
The gowns were digplayed on living
models. Economical mothers make
their children slips that look like
those gowns, only the gowns have
more artistic lines over .he hips. It
was easy to believe Miss \White's
statement that there was no under
wear beneath,
Miss White was attired in a gorg
eous trained creation of yellow silk,
which, though she insists that the
sheath gown was “dead when it was
born,” certainly had a slit in the
skirt, filled in with lace, which coyly
revealed the fact that the wearer was
French enough to discard petticoats,
One of the ‘‘gowns which are coats”
was of black velvel, heavily braided.
It followed the lines of the fizure ab
golutely, and the gkirt is what might
be called “skimpy.” llf it becomes
the fashion, makers of dress materialg
reedn't keep many looms running.
“You'll take to it in time,” said
Miss White. “If you don’t this win
ter, you will next, American women
would probably wear a little dress
under that, for Americans do as they
like; but for the French woman it is
gown and coat, and she wears noth
ing under it but combinations and a
emall slip. With sleeves coming a
little way below the elbow-—you
won't see French women with sleeves
down to their wrists—with a fur tip
pet and muff and a large hat-—that’s
the way the real French woman
looks on the streets of Paris. You
have to go to the real French houses
to get those models,”
Short skirts are the thing for next
season, “I saw nine short skirts to
one long one,”” said Miss White, de
seribing her researches in Paris. “1
saw six handsome walking suits at
Paquin’s, and every one short. And
reason enough. When you hold up a
skirt the style’'s gone. Women have
known the comfort of walking in
short skirts, and they'll not give
them up. Girls wear them as short
as they like; older women can have
them short enough to escape the
ground.
“And it's a season for thin people.
The models in the French houses,”
sald Miss White impressively, ‘“‘are
all thin girls, and the dresses are
pulled in to make them look thinner.
You see,” she added sadly, ‘“‘we must
all get thin.”
The hats accompanying the cos
tumes at the demonstration were
enormous. “It takes hair to support
them,” said Miss White. ‘“The hair in
Paris is like this,” and she pointed to
her voluminous marcelled waves.
“They have chignons, and I don't
know what they don’t have.”
The dresses shown were of mirage
silk and of dull colorg, which are to
be fashionable. All followed the
lines of the figure closely.
- “Fit your hips,” was Miss White’s
pariing word to her followers. “If
you" do that, you needn't think of
much else.””—New York Tribune.
High Honor ¥or Woman Doctor.
It is a popular belief that in liberty
loving America women have the wid
est opportunities to place themselves
on a common footing with - men.
Women have been crowding the pro
fessions. Only a few months’ ago two
of our leading universities were agi
tated in respect of admitting a woman
as a speaker in the annual debate
between the colleges. The champions
of woman’s right point proudly to
the fact that 5,000,000 women in the
United States are self-supporting.
But, far as women have advanced in
this country, they seem in comparison
to lag behind the women of Europe.
This applies particularly to the higher
callings. Finland has elected women
to its Parliamen!; women physicians
and professors compete successfully
lwith men in Germany and France.
A sign of the times now comes from
Russia, where women are jubilant at
the selection of Dr., Anna Dontcha
kova to fill the chair of pathology in
