TBE PASSINC Of THE SWORDu
(The Russian army authorities have
decided to equip their officers with
firearms instead of the traditional
sword. The leading military nations
.did the same' some time ago, and tbe
smaller ones will follow suit in due
order.)
No more I'll flash in a headlong dash.
Or gleam in the thundering charge,
When the troopers' shout leaps madly
out
On the red field's smold'ring marge;
My glory's over! I'll feel no more
The grip of a harrying hand,
And the smiting quick in tbe melee
thick
Of the last, wild, desperate stand.
No more I'll crash with the lightning's
flash
When steel bites deep in steel,
And the leaping spark lights billets
stark.
Where the frenzied foemen reel;
At last! At last my guerdon past,
No more my crimsoned blade
Will seal the fate of a sinking state,
Whose empire erst I made.
My fame was born in history's morn.
And ever adown the years,
when warring man in his fierce elan
On my corse-piled' path appears,
I've hewn his name amid battle's
flame, ,
With all the world aghast;
And stainless still I obey his will,
And live in the splendid past.
Hurrah for the sword, that its fortlme
lord
Hath put from his grasp away.
One vale long ere I'm sheathed among
The dead of an elder day;
For my storied brand, that for aye is
bann'd
To sleep in the dreamless dust.
Hath blazed the way to this ruthless
day
When I redden with naught save
rust.

FAMOUS OLD FORT.
Fort Cobb, noted in the annals of the
southwestern country, will soon be
nothing more than a memory. The
land upon which the fort and the adja
cent buildings stood, writes a Wichita
(Kan.) correspondent, has been pur
chased by a colonization company and
will soon be cut up into farms. Some
famous battles have been fought
around Fort Cobb, and some desperate
chances have been taken there by
white men in settling up the country
surrounding the historic old spot. In
1861 Fort Cobb, Arbuckle and Washita
were the principal trading posts and
government forts west of the Missis
sippi river. The headquarters of the
military department of the Texas were
located at Fort Cobb, and its soldiers
0id duty along the entire Mexican fron
tier's well as guarding against Indian
uprisings along the Washita and Lit
tle Missouri rivers. Fort Cobb attained
its greatest fame because of the sur
render of Gen. David E. Twiggs there
at the outbreak of the civil war. Gen.
Twiggs was at the time the command
er of the United States forces in the
Department of the Texas, and on Feb
16, 1861, he surrendered his entire
command to Gen. McCullough, a Unit
ed States officer who had gone over to
the cause of the south, with his com
mand, and who was at that time sta
tioned at Indianola. It was one of the
earliest defections from the Union
forces of the civil war, and was solely
due to the leaning that Gen. Twiggs
had to the cause of the south, and not
because he was outclassed by a supe
rior force. Gen. Twiggs was dismissed
from the Union army in disgrace. He
afterward joined the southern forces
and was given a commission in its
army. Fort Cobb had not been long in
the possession of the Confederates be
fore it was recaptured by the Union
forces and placed in charge of Maj. S.
D. Sturgis, of the Fourth United States
cavalry. This was in the early part of
1S62. Some o"" the men under his com
mand were disaffected, and they had
formed a plan to turn the fort and all
its supplies over to the Confederate
forces again. The latter were to ap
proach under the guise of hostile Co
manches, and make a feint at attack,
when the post would be surrendered
to them without resistance. When
Maj. Sturgis learned of this he re
solved upon the burning of the ammu
nition and supplies to prevent their
falling into Confederate possession. He
succeeded in carrying out his plan, but
barely escaped with his life. In Octo
ber, 1862, Fort Cobb again came into
notice, because of a fight between the
Cherokees as southerners and the Seni
inolcs as loyal Indians. Several hun
dred were killed in battle, th hemi
noles finally winning. Tua Cherokees
soon afterward freed their slaves of
their own accord and gave them tne
right of citizenship. The battle deter
mined the' status of the Indians they
nearly all Lecame Unionists. Up to
that time the Cherokee, Choctaw and
Chickasaw Indians had been strong
sympathizers with the south and a
great many fights had taken place be
tween them and the Seminoles and
Creeks, in 1870 the old fort was aban
doned, but has since then been used
as a rendezvous for travelers and In
dian agents. It -has been the place
where artists and writers centered up
on their arrival in the land of the
southern Indian to study his traits.
The old buildings afforded plenty of
room, and were the scene of many
brilliant social entertainments. Here
it was that Sam Houston in an early
day wooed and won his Cherokee
bride; here if was that John Howard
Payne wrote his soul-stirring song.
Home. Sweet Home," and it is the
place where Remington drew some of
the Indian pictures that have since
made him famous.

"Who are you; " they asked. He
told -them. Then he started the long
journey back to Long Island, in
search of his former home and friendA.
Arriving at Flushing, one of the first
objects that met his gaze was 'the sol-'

of the old Quaker meeting-house.dated
1661, and which was used alternately
as a federal and a. British stronghold'
during the revolution. The old man
naturally paused and read the familiar
names of his martyred comrades. To
his- consternation 'he saw his own
name enrolled there. That was some
years ago. Since, that day the old Vet

SOLDIERS ARE HCMAK
Army officers are almost unanimous
in asking the restoration of the can
teen feature of the army post ex
changes. The subject is a sore one
with temperance and prohibition ad
vocates, whose position concerning the
canteen is much misunderstood. The
objection they make is that the can
teen gives a sort of official sanction to
drink in other words, puts the gov
ernment into the business of selling
beer. Advocates of the canteen assert
that it cannot possibly be harmful, be
cause only beer is sold, and that of a
good quality, and in such quantities
and under such restriction as to ren
der intoxication impossible. Experi
ence Indicates that for many reasons
the advocates of the canteen have the
better of the argument. Soldiers are
human; and like many other human
beings are averse to too much restric
tion. Few of them acquire the habit
of drinking in the army; indeed, with
saloons on every corner in the cities
from which most of them come, it is
not likely that they would acquire
habits of intemperance through buy
ing an occasional bottle of beer at the
canteen. As matters are, a soldier
cannot drink in the post, but there is
nothing to prevent his drinking out
side. So that instead of having a bot
tle or two of beer every day he keeps
his money until he gets permission to
leave the post and then spends the
pay of several months in a vile orgy
in one of the neighboring dens over
which the military authorities have no
control. Then he is tempted to de
sert, rather than face punishment for
derelicition in returning, loses his self
respect, never saves his money, and
goes out of tbe army worse than when
he entered it, simply because of the
mistaken solicitude of well-meaning
persons who forget that he is only a
man. Philadelphia Times.
WANTS HIS SALARY.
Among the residents of South Da
kota is a veteran of the civil war who
enjoys the unique distinction of hav
ing his name still carried on the rolls
of the war department as a captain of
the volunteer army of the United
States. And because of this Uncle Sam
will be called upon to pay him back
salary aggregating 122,264. The old
veteran Is Capt. Lockwood and his
home is at Redfield. He was commis
sioned a captain of volunteers in 1865.
The government at tbe close of the
war notified him that he could be dis
charged at any time upon properly
identifying himself. By some over
sight he was never discharged. He had
not thought of the matter for about
thirty years until the other day, when
he came to the conclusion that if he
had never been discharged from the
army he was- entitled to his salary as
captain for the intervening years. His
captain's salary was 52 per month.
It is thirty-six years, says the Cincin
nati Enquirer, since he drew his last
month's pay, and if the courts or war
department decide that he has legally
been a captain all this time he will
draw from the treasury of the United
States the neat sum of 122,264. He has
engaged the services of an attorney,
who will prosecute the claim for him
before the proper authorities. Chica

6HERIDAV8 SLEEPING BAG.
I was reading the other day that
Wendell Phillips, the lecturer, when
he traveled carried a sleeping bag, in
to which he crawled at night when at
a strange hotel. It reminded me of
the sleeping bag that DeB. Randolph
Reim tells me Gen. Phil Sheridan car
ried while on the campaign against
the Indians in midwinter. It was
made of fur. with the fur inside, and
Sheridan used to strip and crawl into
it The General had two big dogs that
followed him about, and in the morn
ing early when the reveille was sound
ed the dogs would go nosing about
until they got into Sheridan's tent,
when they would rush upon their
sleeping master and run their eold
noses into the sleeping bag. It had
the effect of an electrical bath on
"Little Phil," and the language he
used was exceedingly free. The mer
cury in his tent would go up about
forty degrees when he cut loose, and
the dogs would rush growling down
the camp street, while' Reim would
lie there and laugh. Harrlsburg Tele

laiports f Raw Material.
American manufacturers are evi
dently quite as busy In 1901 as they
were in 1900. At least this is a reason
able conclusion from an examination
of the figures of the Treasury Bureau
of Statistics, which show that the to
tal imports of manufacturers' mate
rials in the nine months ending with.
September, 1901, were greater In value
than those of the corresponding
months of last year, although an
analysis of the Imports, article by ar
ticle, shows that In many cases the
prices per unit of quantity have de
creased. This decrease in price is so
strongly marked that In many cases
while the figures of value show a de
crease In the nine months of 1901, as
compared with those of 1900, the fig
ures of quantity for the same period
show an increase. For Instance, Im
ports of India rubber when measured
by value show a slight reduction in
1901 as compared with 1900, while tbe
quantity Imported In 1901 shows an
increase of more than 5,000,000 pounds
as compared with the same months of
1900. Pig tin, used in manufacturing
tin plate, shows in value a slight re
duction in the imports of 1901 as com
pared with last year, but in quantity
there is an increase of over 2.000.000
pounds. Imports of unmanufactured
fibers show a decrease of more than
$2,000,000 in value as compared with
those of 1900, yet the quantity shows a
material Increase. Taking the grand
total of value of Imports of raw ma
terials for use In manufacturing, the
imports in the nine months of 1901
compared with those of 1900 were: For
1901, $221,469,984; for 1&00. $217,619,372;
while In the month of. September
alone the figures of the month in 1901
are $22,725,325. against $18,505,980 in
September 1900 a marked increase.
They formed la September, 1901, 34
per cent of the total Imports, against
31 per cent of the total imports in Sep
tember, 1900.
rotated la tfca British late
The British Islands may yet become
a good market for American-grown po
tatoes. Until recently the United
Kingdom has produced enough tubers
for Its own use, but signs are not want
ing that a change In this matter Is
taking place. For the last ten years
only about 1 per cent of the potato
supplies have been imported, and these
have come mainly from the Channel
Islands. During the last three years
the supplies of foreign potatoes on the
English market have Increased to 9
per cent. The yield per acre, as well
as the total yields of potatoes In Great
Britain and Ireland, will prove of In
terest to American farmers. Hence we
reproduce the following table from an
English source:

The average per acre yield for the
first ten years was 4.61 tons, and the
average total yield was 5.699.98L The
figures tor 1901 are only the estimates
by men versed in potato statistics. Al
though Ireland Is famed for potatoes,
yet the per acre yield ot potatoes In
Ireland is only 3.67 tons, against J6

D. E. Salmon, chief of the bureau of
animal Industry, says: In order to se
cure a higher consumption of poultry
products per capita, in the United
States, it is of prime importance that
there should always be an abundant
supply of strictly fresh eggs mad of the
best grades of table .poultry.' .This con
dition is also a necessary factor in' the
development of the export trade.
When the markets are. filled with oggs
that have lost their quality and flavor
by long keeping and many ot which
have acquired an offensive taste; whea
the. broilers and roasters offered to the
consumer are thin, tasteless, tough,
and altogether unfit for the table. It Is
not surprising that they are passed by
and .beef, mutton . or pork taken, la
their stead. So also when the exporter
is buying for consignment to foreign
markets, he must be able to find at all'
times a good article of eggs or poultry
in sufficient quantity or he cannot con
tinue Ids trade.
