THAT MAX FATE OF TROOP E.
Tluima * ir < iif/i / wj > //all (11 ( J/m-jxr't !
That man Fate of Troop K was ttio
reigning mystery at Fort Apache. A
frontier post without a mystery would
hardly accord with army customs , would
bo dull to ollicufs and men alike , and
would positively bo shunned by the olll-
cors' wives. So it was not surprising
that Apache should liavo its mystery.
Tlio only thing uncommon about it was
the fact that in tills case the mystery
was a real bona lido mystery. It was an
actual entity , not a creature of post gos
sip , and did not even need the aid of the
imagination of the cooks and housemaids
on the ' 'back line. " For this reason
Apache was a post of great interest to
all the other posts in the Department of
Arizona , and whenever the telegraph
operator at any ono of them ( most
potent disburser of gossip in all
Uncle Sam's army ) received . the
unoilicial message from the man
at Apache , "That man Fate of
Troop E is drunk again , " there was im
mediately a noticeable atmosphere of
interest at the said other post and the
wives of the subalterns would moot In
the center of the "front lino' ' ( each one
ou the way to tell the , ethers about it ) ,
apd declare that thoy. did wish the general -
oral would transfer th'oir troop to the
Apache. In the meantime the inhabi
tants of Apache remained serene , happy
and possessed of a certain cheerful sense
of superiority in the matter of mysteries
over all the rest of them. Th'o only
thing that over disturbed thorn was the
fact that try as they would , they could
not unravel their mystery , but perhaps
this was just as well , for if they could
have Uono so there would no longer
have been any mystery , and without if ,
what wou'd have- boon life at Fort
Auacho ; *
Ho was always called "that man
Fato. " The other men were called
Smith , Jones and Robinsorr but Fate
needed a distinguishing if not distin
guished handle to his name in the eyes
of the post people , so they fell into the
habit of calling him ' -that man Fato. "
That Fate was not his name was
very apparent , but as many men enlist
under obviously delicious names , noth
ing was thought of thin except the
singularity of his choice. Ho must have
been thinking about Fate In nocheorful
mood , they all ngrecd , when ho chose it.
.Ho no sooner made his appearance in
Troop K as a recruit than ho made an
impression. Ho was distractingly
handbomo and moro than this his face
bore the indelible marks of aristocratic
breeding. It took the second lieutenant
of the said Troop E just ono short con
versation to bo convinced that Fate had
been born and bred a gentleman , and
had boon educated as such to the highest
degree. Upon tlio report of the
lieutenant to tills direct , Fate was im
mediately called before the commanding
oflicoi- and questioned as to bin antece
dents , but ills answers were vague and
unsatisfactory to such an extent that tho.
good old major Know that he wns lying.
For some reason or other the major did
not toll him that -ho was lying , though ,
as ho would bluflily have told most of
the men. In fact in his own heart ho
felt that the man was a gentleman in
spite of his pcwltion , and ho had an un
conscious rsspoct for \he feeling. Of
courao every ono know that something
was wrong with the man , but as they
could not ilnd out what it was , they did
the next best thing they waited ,
They did not have to wait long. On
his very first pay-day Fate occupied a
cell in tlio guard house , charged by the
captain of his company with beingdrunk.
The kind-hearted major gave him a lecture -
turo the next morning and lot
him off. Ho tried to got Fate to
say ho was Berry , but the man waa
obstinately uncommunicative. Ho wont
back to his troop , though , aud behaved
himself until the next pay day. Then
ho got drunk again. This time the
major lot army justice taUn its course ,
and Fatu spout a month in the guard
houo at hard labor. It was noticed by
everyone on the post , however ( army
people are great for noticing things ) ,
that during thut month the major de
clined to have any of the prisoners
brought neat- his quarters , and that
whenever ho saw a squad pf them ho de
liberately made u detour and got out of
the way. Every one know then ( for
army people are great at drawing dp-
clsloua ) that the major was Interested in
that man Fato. No nno wns surprised ,
therefore , that tbo major and the cap
tain ot troop E should bo engaged in a
long conversation the night before Fate
was to bo released from his hard labor
and restored to duty , and no ono was
surprised a week or so later when Fate
was made a corporal. The major was at
his old trick ( a dear old trick that made
many a good soldier out of a bad ono )
of appealing to the mini's pride by
giving him the chevrons of a non-com-
micbionod otllcor , and the responsibili
ties. It didn't work , though , at oil.
The very no.xt pay day Fate \vafi the
occupant of the cuard house , chevrons
and till. Then began a struggle that
lasted for ever three years between the
inujor and Falo , Somotiraea the major
got tlio boat of It , and Fate would go
ever a pay day without gottlng drunk.
* '
*
Thou ha would bo promptly rewarded
with chevrons and the major's peed
prracos. Oftener ho would .field to hla
tomntnttons , nnd then the major , like a
good soldier , would see tlmt ho was
properly punished. It began to bo n
matter of interest to the whole regi
ment. Some of the officers nnd moro of
the ladles of the regiment dcclrtrfeit tholr
belief in the retiort that FaW had told
his mystery to the major , and that the
major was Interested in him on that no-
count. Those who knew the major bet
tor , though , snld H was merely the ma
jor's well known weakness for trying to
reform men who wore going us fast as
they could ton disagreeable place. Soma
of them tried to worm the' secret out of
the major's wife , but that iroixl lady
know us little as they did themselves.
Them WMS one curious fact that they
did find out from har , though , and that
was the fact that Futo had always ob
stinately refused to promise to abstain
from drink when the major urjod [ ; him
to do so. This had made the , major ,
who was always findingsomelhirtjf peed
in the character of every mnn , poliovo
that if ho could over Rot that promise
from Fate , It would bo ko | > U And the
major tried patiently , but unsuccessfully ,
to do it.
A tlmo came at last when It seemed
that Fate had reformed of his own free
will. Tie had boon tin actual four months
out of the guard house , and , with the
color buck in his cheeks nnd n now uni
form on , decorated /with the yellow
stripes of a corporal , ho looked the
handsomest and finest Jsoldloi : hi the
regiment. The major wss tickled to
death and was unusually gracious to the
captain of Troop E , for the captain had
rather demurred of Ittta to keeping the
man longer In his troop. It did boom
as though the major hud reformed
another man. It WHS just at this time
that Jack Chamberlain , the llrst lieu
tenant of Troop K , wentpIT on a leave
'
of absence , and , to the siirpr'lso of 'tho '
garrison , brought back with him when
ho came a wife. They were dub to ar
rive thoduy after the announcement
cards were received at the post , and
every puo joined in to give the bride tin
army welcome. She was a Miss Fanny
Walters of Cleveland , or hud boon , BO
company in the countercharge , and was
again conspicuous for his heroism and
gallantry in capturing the Hug of the
confederate rogitnont and two commis
sioned ollicors. So heroic was the attack
which the ollicor led that the ollicors and
men of his company recently petitioned
congress to give him a medal of honor
in acknowledgment of his valor.
The medal is the usual government ,

Jroui the Atlantic & Pacific railroad
it is not hard to reach one of the great
est of natural curiosities the petrified
forest of Arizona , says a writer in St.
Nicholas. Much the nearest point , is
the little station of Billings , hut there
are the scantliest accommodations for
the traveler. Only a mile south of the
track at that point one may see a low ,
dark ridge marljod by a single cottonwood -
wood tree.
Walking thither over a valley so alive
with jack rabbits that there is some ox-
ouso for the cowboy declaration "that
you can walk clear actoss their backs ! "
onu soon reaches the northern edge of
the forest , which covers hundreds of
square miles. Unless you are moro
hardened to wonderful sights than I am
you will almost fancy yourself in some
enchanted spot. You seem to stand on
the glass of a gigantic kaleidoscope ,
over whose sparkling surface the sun
breaks in irilinito rainbows. You are
ankle deep in such chips and I'll war-
want you never saw from any otlior
wood pilo.
What do you think of chips from trees
that are rod moss agate and amethyst
and smokv topairuiid ngatoof every hue ?
Such are the marvelous splinters that
cover the ground for-milos hero , ' around
the huge prostrate trunks somoof them
live fi.'ot through from which time's
patient ax has hewn them. F broke a
specimen from the heart of u tree three
years ago which laid around the stone
pith a remarkable array of largoand
exquisite crystals ; for oil otio side of the
specimen which Is not so largo as my

royal mirnlo atnothyst and > on tno other
an equally beautiful array of smoky

One can got , also , magnificent cross
sections of a whole trunk so thin as to
bo portable and showing every vein and
"year ring" and oven the baric. There
is nota chip in all those miles which is
not worthy a place , just as it is , in the
proudest cabinet , and when polished I
know no other roc ! ; so splendid. It is
one of the hardest stones in the world
and takes and keeps an incomparable

METHODS AJP'TIIE PATENT OFFICE ,
The Conrio rallowe ul > } thn Author of nn
Invention to Vrotcct JIM night *
Co < tf of Obtaining a
L'ntrnt.
To the inventor the all Important question
presents Itself , "How can I secure n patontl"
end to this TUR lisp. Bureau offers the fol
lowing explanation :
Inventors asa class are not familiar with
the laws under which letters patent are
granted , the forms and practice In the patent
ofllco at Washington nnd the technical
methods of costing specifications and claims
to properly protect tholr Invention ! against
infnngors , yet the value of Iho patent and
oven its valldUy ilppond largely upon the
careful and export preparation of the caso.
Specifications must bo drawn to fully dls-
r.loso the invention , to distinguish between
what is now and what Is old , and claims ,
upon which the value nnd validity of the
patent depend , must bo cast to fully cover
the Invention yet not to encroach upon pat
ents already granted. Failure In either of
these respects often renders tlio patent value
less or void. The employment of counsel
skilled In natcnt law w therefore usually a
prerequisite to the proper prosecution of n
case and a grant of a valuable patent.
Many Inventors suffer the lois of benefits
that should bo dorlvod. from valuable Inven
tions owing to insufficient protection by pat-
ots procured through Incompetent or care
less agents , etc.
For U'lmt OnintiMl.
Under the laws of the UiiKod States letters
tors pa'tont nrografted to any person who
has invented or discovered anv nexv and use
ful art , mashtne , manufacture or composition
of matter , or has invented any now or useful
Improvement thereon.
Term or r.itt'iit.
A patent Is granted for seventeen years ,
during which timu the owner has solo and
exclusive right to make , use and soil the
patented invention.
How to I'roocpil ,
For economic reasons before manlng ap
plication to tbo patent office for a patent ,
the novelty and patentability of the Inven
tion should bo jascortained. because , if the
invention is not hiow or. not patentnblo nn
unnecessary expense incurred by tiling an
application on which a patent can never oo
granted , etc.
The first thing to bo done is to find out
whether or not the invention is now and
palcntublo.
For advice on the point it Is necessary to
send to the bureau a roucti or complete
sketch or a photograph of the invention , to
gether with a brief description thereof ,
setting forth the object of the improve
ments , the arrangement of the parts and
the advantages attained. While u modal Is
very seldom necessary , yet it is often of
great assistance. The latter can bo made of
any cheap material , ai.d will be returned if a
request Is made to thatolTect.
Upon receipt o ho"'data mentioned suffic
ient to enable tb"nvciiUon to bo understood
our counsel will at once examine thereinto ,
and will advise without churga whut is the
best course to pursue ana will express an
opinion , from thuir knowledge of ttio arts
and patents already gonnted , as to the patent
ability Of thO Ij KtUlliOII.
In this conUociiongit-is rccoiiiinondod thnt
thq best and safest course" is to h voa
special search lijo In the' pilto'nt olllco to
iiscortalli'whothcr"or not the Invcn'.ion 1ms
boon heretofore patented. Tno auvantiigo of
such a search Is that. If no anticipating patent
is discovered lha application can by.11 led with
a greater decree of coHabity. wherons if the
invention is found to' be old all further ex
pense is avoided. Tbe cost of a search of
this nature is $5 , and with the report of the
result thereof the inventor will he furnished
with copies of such patents , if any , as em
brace bis ideas. It U much better to have
this search made in the outset before incur
ring any expense whatever regarding the ap
plication for patent.
If it is foui.d that ho Invention is tiow acd
patoutablo the client is advised to proceed
with tho.mint'of t\n application for patent ,
and will thou bo requested to remit $15
to cover the first government fco and
$5 in payment of cost of driwing , when ono
is necessary. As soon ns uo-iiiblo 'alter the
receipt of ibis remittance tbo specification of
the invention will b'o furofullr prepared
and forwarded to the inventor , together \viih
forms for application for patent ready for
execution. Upon i-pnjrn of the latter the case
will bo promptly filed at 'ho patent otllce and
notice will bo .sent > vhen acuoi is had thero-
on. nod also of thn nuturo of such action.
The examlnlng.'corps of the patent office is
divided into thirty-two divisions , among
which the applications nro divided according
to the official classification. The condition of
the work in the various divisions vurios troin
ono to five months In arrears.

there is no authority in law for granting cor-

Important Warning
It seems remarkable that in this onliglit-
oncd ago it bccomos tbo duty of every re
liable and trust vorlhy attorney in patent
matters to advise his clients to' beware of
the many sharks who set out with the ap
parent intention of defrauding 'inventors
immediately after the issue of their patents.
When a patent appears In the Patent Office
Unzbtte patentees nro beset with innumer
able oiter.s\solcitations ! , requests , etc. , some
preteiu'ing to waut to purchase their patents ,
while others oITerto take an interest therein
under promise of procuring foreign patents.
The sole oUjoct of these poopln Is to obtain
inntiey from inventors , and tboy never make
ttio'sllghte3t endeavor to carry out their
groundless or worthless promises.
Asiieraluboforo mentioned , models are not
required in tbo putont office except in intri
cate or complicated cases. Hut at the same
time when an Invention can bo better ex
plained by a model it is well to send the same
to us. A model snould always bo of a she

Patt-nts iiml I'.itc'iiti.
Every American carries in his blood a
strain of Inventiveness. When ho snos labor
wasted he begins to pur/lo out plans for sav
ing it. When bo strikes an Ingenious ma
chine ho sets to calculating how It may be
Improved. Few VIMIKOOS have gone through
life without devising some Uind of invention ,
although in most cases the device muy have
gone no further than the mind of the in
ventor.
The patPntoftico at Washington is the out
growth of this national quality , It is such a
monument of multifarious Ingenuity as Is
not to be matched in the world. Its stores
of plans nnd models are heaped up so lav
ishly by the irrepressible genius of the na
tion thill thn whole establishment might bo
burnufl lo the ground every Uvo years , and
cacn now building would bo overflowing in
time for the next fire.
Plainly , it can bo no light thing to keep all
this muss of business in order. "As dry as a
patent ofllco report" has become a proverb.
Lint tboso roporU , extending through hun
dreds of bulky volumes , contain the facts by
xvho.se light every now application for a
p.itiint must bo decided. Tbo parson who
expects to be of any assistance In facilitating
the progress of a new idea toward government
mont recognition must know how to thread
their dusty uyways and uncover all the old
ideas to which the new comer may bear a
family resemblance.
The inventor can hardly ever do this ,
lOven if hn happens to bo a resident of Wash.
Ingtnn his familiarity with the details of
patent 'office procedure is not likely to be
sufficient to enable him to accomplish any
thing fet himself , and if he lives at a distance
of course he can do nothing. An attorney Is
always required.
Hut not even the pensioners have suffered
ere 'rom the operations of unscrupulous at-
moy1 * thun thn inventors. The averagu in-
enter is poor , and not accustomed to lha
eehnlcnlitlcs of law or bublncss , Ho
wants a patent , and ho takes that
term at its face value , To him a patent
Is a patent , neither moro nor loss. Ho
reads thn advertisement of a plauslblo agent
who promises to got patents in quick tlmo at
low rates , payable only in case of success ,
tie nenila on his application and in duo tjmo
is gladdened by the receipt of an Impressive
document , uarUhed with gilt seals and blue
ribbons and announcing itself to ba a patent.
And so It , U , bat when the owner uuaor-
takes to put bis invention on the
market ho finds that ho has nothing
to sell. The attorney has saved him
self trouble by putting lu a claim covering
only some one trivial point and the patent
granted on'I hat point Is worthless as a pro.
tectlon to the essential features of the Inven
tion. An honest and capable attorney would
have made his claim as broad as possible ; ho
would uavo argued every paint with the
examiners , and when lie finally obtained a
patent it would bavo boon as valuable as the
merits of the Invention would permit.
Tin : BIK : Uuroou of Claims is not afraid of
trouble. Contrary to us custom In land ,
Indian depredation and pension case * It docs
not takn patent cases on continent fees , and
no qlher reputable patent attorneys do.
When ait application is intrusted to It , it
giveg the subject careful and intellicAnt study ,
and then files an itemized claim covering
as many points as can possibly bo
found iu the Invention , U argues as many
of these as may bo denied and In the ana it
secures a patent compiehenslvo enough to
hold its own In the courts and In the mouoy
market.
If any Inventor should bo Inclined to ques
tion thn Importancclof broad claims in apply.-
Ing for patents , ho may profitably consider
the methods by which Alexandnr ( J rah am
Bell hat beer , raised wllbln the patt fifteen
years from poverty to n place In the financial
world alongside of Jay Gould and Huasoll

The organization of' the now- court of law

nouncomont that the court will hold Itafina
session In that city on the 17th of November
Uvo promise thatha long-voioil titles in tb
western territories and stnto will soon bo lu
a fair way to settlement. The disputed titles
under the Mexican aud Spanish grants have
proved especially troublesome in Arizona and
Now Mexico. They have delayed settlement
nnd investment in some of the fairest lands
of the southwest , and two proved annoying
in the districts farther to the north. After
much agitation and co mplamt congress w
nduccd at the last session to provide a cour
tor the consideration of this business , and

The organization of this court gives Tun

Tlio Indian depredations patent , land

nnd departments.aro being pushed as rapidly
as posslhlo , wit hi no delays on ncctint of the

to the bureau. The larco amount of claims

esteem and conlldcnro In which Tin : BKK U

wlso a demonstration. If ono was roqtitrod.o

The revelations in regard to the Loomls
agency which have been published recently
go uvon further In the same direction. When
a man sought for by tbo police for nearly a
year on a warrant for , embezzlement can setup
up as a claim agent , Hood the western coun
try with circulars and receive assignments
for several million dollar's worth of claims.
It appears that there-is little protection for
tbo claimant who sends to an unknown repro
sontativo. The men who assigned tholr claim
o Loomls would have had small chanoJ o
tholr seeing any of their money l ( thn
schnmor had boon given tlmo to collect their
claims. When such'risks nro run and men
who nro not able to go to Wasliliicton and
know no ono there must hlro their attorneys
lit haphazard , the need , for a bureau to pro
tect tno people and do tholr work nt reason
able rates Is apparent.
The approval with which TIIK Br.a enter
prise Is received by Journalists and public
men Is ns gratifying as the response of the
public.
THIS t tin L v . , / , ten ,
Tun Br.r Buttiuu or CMIMS , in dealing
with the claims arising under the Indian
depredations act , has boon successful m pro
tecting a largo number of .subscribers and
others from extortion and loss. From com
plaints that have como to it. hotvover , It ap
pears that mainof the claimants do not un
durstiind their potllion under the act. At a
time when there appeared to bo little chance
that congress would take up the claims or
make any appropriation to pay them , tboy
signed contracts wlththo Washington agents ,
promising , from ono-nuartor to one-half the
amount to the agent in case the money should
bo collected. Itf view of this extortion con
gress inserted n provision iu the act annul-
ang all contracts and limiting the agent's
romtnisslon to 1,1 or 20 per cent.
The claimants ail probably understand that
ho agent's commission has been limited by
the law , but many of them , according to their
own statements , do not understand ttat they
are frco to do as they please about employing
tbo agent they had fir.st chosen. Thny con
sluorthat they are still bound to employ the
agent with ivhom.thov signed the oxor bttan
tracts whether they are satisfied wita
or not.
was the indention of congress to proto c
em at ail points and they were loft on the
passage of the act'free to' do ns they pleased
and employ whom they pleased. Section 9 of
the act stated : "That all sates , transfers or
assignments of any such claim * heretofore or
hereafter mudo , except such as have occurred
in the duo administration of decedents' os
tales , and all contracts heretofore made for
foes and allowances to claimants' attorneys
are horooy declared void.
There could bo no mistake about the moanIng -
Ing of this. All claimants had to make now
contracts with airents after the passage of
the act , and tnoy wcro at liberty to omplov
any one they pleased. If they were pleased
with the zenl and acts of their first a ont
thov might make their now contract with
him. If they were dissatlsod they might
choose any other agent that they pleased.
These who have not signed new contracts
since the passage of the act mav profit oy
this to secure much better terms thhn they
could otherwise get from the agents. The
fact that TIIIUK : : Bntr.AU Is doing the work
for the bare ocpono involved has had a good
effect In moderating the charges of all agents
to those who know how to protect them
selves. For those who distrust tholr ability
to cope with the claim agents on their own
