STAGECOACHING DAYS
Aa Old World Bra VVltU a Decided
Flavor of Romance
The old coaching days as far as con
venience for travel was concerned
were the dawn of the great days of our
present rapid means of communication
The seventy years or so in which mall
coaches waxed and flourished and
finally died out before the Incursion of
railways and steam engines have a de
cided flavor of romance attached to
them and no doubt the coming and
going of stagecoaches lent a certain
amount of color and interest and life
to the country places and towns
through which ran the great main
coaching roads The Bath road the
Dover road the York road were high
ways of communication along which
rolled the heavy private coaches and
chariots of the country magnates and
the stagecoaches with their steaming
horses passed the various stopping
places with the regularity of clock
work
These stagecoaches with their com
plement of coachmen and guards af
forded endless subjects of interest and
illustration to the artist and the liter
ary men of the day Imagine Charles
Dickens without stagecoaches and de
nuded of all his vivid descriptions of
the scenes such as those In the yard of
the White Hart inn High street Bor
ough In Pickwick or of the mail
coach on the Dover road in A Tale of
Two Cities It is difficult for the pres
ent generation to realize the fatigue
and the wintry cold of such long jour
neys when frozen feet were enveloped
In a little straw and a shawl folded
round the neck was thought to be a fit
protection against the keen night air

THE PRIVATE WON
Relinked Ills Superior Officer and Es
caped Court Martial
Charles Bradlaugh when In the Brit
ish army was orderly room clerk and a
newly arrived officer once entered the
room where he was sitting at work
and addressed to him some discourte
ous order Private Bradlaugh took no
notice The order was repeated with
an oath Still no movement Then it
came again with some foul words add
ed The young soldier rose drew him
self to his full height and walking up
to the officer bade him leave the room
or he would throw him out He went
accordingly but In a few moments the
grounding of muskets was heard out
side the door opened and the colonel
walked in accompanied by the officer
It was clear that the private soldier
had committed an act for which he
might be court martialed and as he
said once I felt myself In a tight
place The officer made his accusa
tion and Private Bradlaugh was bid
den to explain He asked that the of
ficer should state the exact words in
which he had addressed him and the
other who had after all a touch of
honor In him gave the offensive sen
tence word for word Then Private
Bradlaugh said addressing the colo
nel that the officers memory must
surely be at fault In the whole matter
as he could not have used language so
unbecoming to an officer and a gen
tleman The colonel turned to the of
ficer with the dry remark I think
Private Bradlaugh is right There
must be some mistake And he left
the room
A Scotch Test
Auchtermuchty is the happy town
which every Scot proud of his unpro
nounceable tongue uses as a shibbo
leth to test the linguistic skill of the
southron If you cannot say Auchter
muchty you are still an uneducated
barbarian The meaning of the word
happens to be as monstrous as its
sound The high ground of the wild
sow is not a name one would choose
for a garden city People however are
found to flock to It as a summer re
sort and as It has a lovers pool the
town has probably attractions more
real than its name In the early part
of last century Auchtermuchty went
bankrupt and was deprived of all its
property except thejail and one or two
other assets of an equally necessary
character It is now rich peaceful and
radical
Really a Human Being
The story is told in China that years
ago a missionary made his appearanee
upon a platform there and that the na
tive orator who introduced him closed
with these words When I have finish
ed a gentleman from the west is going
to address you He is not a foreign
demon His appearance and his cloth
ing may seem strange to you but look
carefully at him He has two arms and
two legs two ears and two eyes a
nose though a long one and a mouth
and I assure you his teeth are made of
bone just like yours He is really a
human lifting and I hope you will re
gard him as such

Mount Dajo and
Wounded Knee
A HOItO DATTO
HE people who
inhabit the is
lands of the
Sulu archipelago
where the battle of
Mount Dajo was
recently fought are
a very peculiar
race Nowhere in
the world are
stranger customs
to be found than
prevail among
these wards of
Uncle Sam in the
far east It Is
something over 500
miles from Manila
to the Island of
Sulu or Jolo
where the Ameri
can troops battled
with a band of
Moros who had
fortified themselves in the crater of a
volcanic mountain which rises over
2000 feet abovo sea level The 1G0 or
more Islands of the Sulu group are In
habited chiefly by the Mohammedan
Moros The beliefs of these peoplo
account in part for the fact that al
most all of the band which resisted the
American troops at Mount Dajo met
death In so doing The Moro warrior
gives no quarter and expects none and
when he dies fighting a Christian he
expects to go straight to the Moham
medan paradise there to be minis
tered to by houris and enjoy the de
lights pictured by the panditas or
priests who exhort the warriors until
they are ready to fall upon their ene
mies and slay them even though their
own death is sure to follow This Idea
Is carried to a terrible extreme In the
case of the juramentados They are
Mohammedans who take an inviolable
oath to shed the blood of as many
Christians as possible By the laws
which have prevailed in the past
among the Moros of Sulu and Minda
nao but which the American regime
has sought to modify or abolish the
bankrupt debtor was the slave of his
ZINTKA COIBT INDIAN BABY FOUND ON
WOUNDED KNEE BATTLEFIELD
creditor His wife and children were
likewise slaves whom he could free
only by the sacrifice of his life that Is
by enrolling himself in the ranks of
the juramentados Lashed by the pan
ditas into a frenzy of enthusiasm the
juramentados would rush into a vil
lage with their weapons concealed in
their clothing and cut and slash right
and left until overpowered A story is
told of a band of eleven juramentados
who concealed themselves In a load of
fodder they pretended to have for sale
and thus entered a town Jumping
from their places of concealment they
drew their creeses stabbed the guards
and rushed up the street stabbing at
all whom they met They thus suc
ceeded in hacking fifteen soldiers to
death and wounding many others
The Moro women often fight with the
men as they did in the battle of Mount
Dajo and in such cases they usually
assume a dress which makes it diffi
cult to distinguish them from the men
Boys fight with their sires sometimes
The slaughter at Mount Dajo recalls
the circumstances of the battle of
Wounded Knee in South Dakota in the
year 1S90 In this battle the Indians
made a treacherous attack upon the
soldiers and in the confusion of close
fighting many squaws and boys as
well as men were shot down by the
troops Speaking of the fight an offi
cer said In an In
dian fight you can
not stop firing long
enough to find out
just what kind of
an Indian you are
firing at The wo
men and the men
look very much
alike in their blan
ket costume and
the former are quite
as fierce fighters as
the men He add
A 1IOKO WOMAN
ed that if a soldier found a ten-year-old
boy pointing a gun at him with as
good aim as the best marksman jn the
army he could not very well stop to in
quire the young mans age The re
ports say that the wounded Moros
stabbed American soldiers who tried to
minister to them After the battle of
Wounded Knee the Sioux fired at those
who tried to succor their wounded It
was on one of these occasions that the
soldiers found among the dead a little
baby girl less than one year old She
was brought up by whites and given
the name Zlntka Lannin Colby
DESPERATE HEROISM
An Incident of the Indian Fighting
Days In Illinois
The desperate Intrepidity and war
like heroism of the early settlers of Il
linois are illustrated by an Incident
narrated In Historic Illinois The
early days were a time of hardship
danger and death Every forest covert
every tuft of prairie graBS might hide
some skulking red enemy Among tho
early frontiersmen was a Captain
Whiteside whose name became a ter
ror among the Klckapooa
A party of fourteen white men led by
Whiteside made an attack upon an en
campment of Indians of grently supe
rior force Only one Indian escaped
During the heat of the skirmish Cap
tain Whiteside was severely wounded
he thought mortaljy having received a
shot in the side
As he fell he called to his sons to
keep on fighting and not to yield an
inch of ground or permit the savages
to touch his body TJcl Whiteside who
had also been shot In the arm so that
he could no longer use his rifle hastily
examined his fathers wound discover
ing that the bullet had glanced along
the ribs and lodged against the spine
With that daring and disregard for
pain so often characteristic of border
men he Immediately whipped out his
knife gashed the skin extracted the
ball and held It up crying
Youre not dead yet father
The old man leaped to his feet re
newed the light and bore his full part
to the end Many such Instances of
heroism distinguished the men who in
those days of peril were called upon to
defend the frontiers of Illinois
EASILY SCARED
An Adventure With n RhInoeero In
East Africa
Of a curious encounter with a rhi
noceros an African traveler writes In
the Globe Trotter published In Nairobi
British East Africa He was peace
fully grazing on a choice patch of green
stuff and apparently meant to do the
well bred thing and allow us to pass
by so with my heart In my mouth
nothing in my pockets and an empty
magazine rifle In my hand I attempted
a slide for a more secure position But
I was Immediately foiled of this ob
ject by a suspicious movement on the
part of the enemy A swish of the tail
a suggestive uplifting of the snout and
a sniff of the atmosphere and the deli
cate and fairylike creature bore down
ponderously upon my two native bear
ers and myself
My knees promptly refused to work
I could not move a muscle and so witl
all the British pluck and courage o
which we have read so much I calmly
resigned myself By this time the hide
ous beauty had advanced to within ten
yards of its prey when to my surprise
the two boys accompanying me hastily
dismantled themselves of all baggage
and with all muscles stretched ready
for a sprint they stood their ground
and without moving an inch began to
whistle for all they were worth
Quickly noting the satisfactory re
sult of the maneuver I blew my
whistle hastily and with good will
The shrill notes struck strangely on the
untutored ear of the rhino for he
promptly turned tail and fled
