quite such an outing as that which occurred
this year at Jackson park.

there wcro 10,000 of them there ami every ono
of thi'm bad an attltudo of his own and a
volco to mutch. Down-town pedestrians
missed the usual advice to "Git do o'clock

tuo limps of nearly every little news-vender
In the city wrro busy taking In largo and un
wonted draughts of pure , cle.ir uir , while
their stomachs expanded cheerfully under
tbo influence of unlimited quantities of ham
and roast bear fcuuuwlclies , Ice cream , cake
and strawberries.
First eamo the hair-cutting and annual
bath at the Waifs' mission at No.II Slate
street. There were a number of barbers
there , cacb armed with a "mowor. " Each
candidate as tie ramo up was held firmly with
the disengaged uand , ( for occasionally a
lamb \vaH led somewhat unwillingly to
the slaughter ) % vhllo in the other the mower
swept , along like a besom of destruction until
the hairs on every head wcru as short and
sicooth as the lawn before the mansion of a
I'rairin avenno plutocrat. This accom
plished the shorn were passed on to oilier
strong hands which stripped thorn of their
raiment and administered tno annual bath.
There wns .some kicking and squirming at
this , for the process though thorough and
effectual is not over gentle , but those were
tough liltlo bodies qulto accustomed to much
rougher bundling , and the complaints were
not numerous nor serious. UcMdcs , however
vigorous might be the mental protest at this
unwonted Indulgence lu water there was the
dreadful alternative staring thomin the face ;
"No bath , no picnic. "
Every boy was duly tagged and numbered
and tlio fallowing day beginning as early as
i o'clock In the morning they were ranged in
more or less rogulcr columns at Battery D
and marched' to the lake front from which
they were whirled away on Illinois Central
trains to the park where until after 4 o'clock
In the afternoon they made the woods echo
with their shouts , ran races , Jumped , nlayed
baseball and caused whole tons of edibles to
melt away like ice cream under a summer
sun.
sun.Tills annual picnic for the waifs Is a feature
fit the great fresh air work of Chicago. In
the midst of her wonderful race for commer
cial precedence this clnulty has grown so that
every year between the middle of Juno and
the middle of September , thousands of
babies , little children , shop and factory girls
and poor sickly mothers , In tenements got a
new lease of Jife from n slrht of clear skies
and green fields and breathing country air.
The most extensive of these enterprises is
the Dailv News fresh air fund , now in its
Jlfth year. This includes the work at the
sanitarium In Lincoln park and what is
known as the "country week" plan. The
sanitarium Is a one-story frame structure
with a pagoda-like roof and is situated on the
laVe slioro of Lincoln park at Iho foot of Ful
ton nvcnlio. Tlio broad roof with its over
hanging eaves covers a lloor space of nearly
eighteen thousand squnro loot over which
swing little hammocks for babies , while the
wide verandas and open air court at the lake
extremity funils.li accommodatidns for the
mothers and larger children. The place is
superintended by n matron and a physician is
stationed tlicro who furnishes medical attend-
nnco to these who need it free of charge.
During Iho sixty-live days after JunoilO , IS'JO ,
when it was thrown open for tlio season ,
9I10 ! persons were received and cared for , in
cluding infants , children and mothers or
other adult attendants. The babies are
brought In the morning and remain all day
and are provided with meals at an averairo
per capita of 10 cents. The expenses of this
institution and the "country week" are kept
up by Individual contributions and by smaller
donations dropped Into Iho fre.sti air gloocs
which are kept in public places through
out the city. Tlio entire cost of the
executive management and ofllco work are
borna by tlio News.
Tlio country week charity is conducted
with the co-operation of people In the smaller
I towns and villages throughout tlio state.
These who are willing to entertain a euost
lor a period of two weeks or longer forward
their names to the Nmvs and the cost of
transportation to and trom these places is de
frayed from tlio country week fund. Last
year 1,74 ! ) cnildren , mothers and sewing girls
were given a vacation at n total cost of
| ' . ! , $ ! I7.IX ) , or an average of $1.152 per guest.
i ; Similar in their operations arc tho'waifs'
missions which are scattered throughout the
poorer districts of the city. Those send chil
dren in batches of sovonty-Uvo to ono hun
dred across , the lake , where they are dis
tributed among the farms where tlio enjoy
the diversions of country Ufa for n period of
two weeks and are then returned to the boat
landing where they aru taken in charge by
tlio.mission and brought back to Chicago.
On the north shore ol Lake Cienoa Is a
building known na the "Holiday homo. "
Here during the swi'ltarlnir summer days
poor shop girls , factory employes , nurses and
Benmstrosses nro regularly given the oppor
tunity for a two weeks' rust among cool
bree/.es and picturesque surroundings. This
charily is in Us fourth year and is tlio result
of tlio work of n number of Chicago ladles
who , in a short time , raided $12,000 and with
It built and equipped a house which is capa
ble of accommodating eighty pcoplo , while-
the grounds afford fresh air and shade to as
many moro.
In addition to those special fresh air organ
izations , outings are given in connection with
the Old People's homo , the great Armour
mission and similar institutions. This charity
is ono which is constantly developing and

Decorations for summer homes are now en
grossing. The wide vine-shaded piazzas are
Justly regarded as the most delightful loung
ing places and receive much attention from
the tasleful housekeeper. Handsome rugs
are strewn about , low sewing chairs ( lank

piled with cushions is a sine qua 11011 of all-
well regulated piazzas.
A lace coat has the round full fiasqiio ,
which is long , draped at ono side in a Jaoot ,
which is caucht up to the waist. The busquo
shows no oponine in front. A lace basque ,
which is a long round llounco apparently
without opening , extends upward to th3
throat in a full vest under n short Jacket , of
thu eoun fabric. The sleeves lit the arm
from UiOtWrlst to the elbow , and are plainly
covered with the laco.
The passion for lace , which appears to bo
rather on th6 increase than otherwise , has
developed many novel additions to Iho laces
approved by lashion. The powdering and
studdlnu of lace with jot , metal and Jewels
makes even the standard laces look new and
strange. Jettea lace is the favorite , and the
most elegant costumes nro trimmed with it.
The. Jetting of lace is not conlincd to black ,
but employed on colors.
The expensive Jeweled garnitures are now
used with moderation on expensive evening
toilets of airy texture. Crystal beads that
look like dewdrops , translucent and brilliant
iridescent cut stones that glitter like diamonds
mends , arc wrought upon foundations of
finest net , and these are arranged to form
corsage drapings , bodice fronts , and full
transparent sleeves.
Cream , pink and ecru batiste gowns are
very popular this year , the fabric being
barred , striped , flowered , dotted and border
ed. The bodices nro made lu many ways
bolh simple and elaborate , but all the skirts
are hung or draped over soft silk petticoats
of the same shade as ttio outside material ,
the batiste gown having no foundation skirt.
A pretty and Inexpensive costume is of
heliotrope wool dotted with white and made
with darker silk sleeves , collar and cuffs ,
these overlaid with very narrow silver braid.
The hem on the plain bell-skirt is turned up
on tlio outside , faced with the silk , and cov
ered with seven rows of the braid.
Gowns for stately women or elegantcar-
rlago have Louis XI. corsages , with spread
ing lace collars and perfumed lace rallies that
fall over tlio Jeweled hands from the edge of
the closo-wristi'd sleeve , which is , of course ,
high and full at the top. The skirts are
shcath-liko , very much trimmed nt the bottom
tom , and full and dcmi-traincd at the back.
A stylish-summer costume of ( lowered silk
shows Japancso pinks in delicate shadings on

The dress Is designed for garden party wear ,
and above the pretty skirt is a Louls'coat of
rich reseda-green nrmure. open on the front ,
with n drapery of laoo , folded ilshu style ,
covering the shoulders and the close buttoiicu

HIE LOST TROOPERS.
Experience of Company K in the
tt lids oTNorth Wyoming.
"It WAS nothing unusual for an Indi
vidual or a party of several men to got
lost In the west when I was out there , "
snid a grzzlcd old campaigner not long
ngo to a writer in the Cincinnati Com
mercial , "but what do you think of a
whole company of soldiers being lost. f6r
a month ? " I was with a company In
1878 that hud just such an experience.
"Reeves' surveying expedition , the
season before , hud commenced to run a
line for the government hot ween Mon
tana and Wyoming territories , from
Idaho to the Black Hills. The plan waste

tion."It
"It was decided lo resume work l
August 1878. Reeves and his men had
loft their mules and outfit at the Indian
agency in the Black Hills , and they
came to Fort Brown for the purpose of
procuring a military escort. The Eighth
cavalry was stationed at Fort Brown and
company K , with Captain Russell in
command , was detailed- conduct the
oxpedilton to the point where the outfit
was to bo secured. I hud charge of a
packing train , and was ordered to load
my mules with the necessary provisions ,
blankets , etc. , and to go along with the
cavalry.
"Wo started , and a twelve-milo march
brought us to the Big Horn. The river
was so swollen that wo could not cross it.
There is perpetual snow on portions' of
the Rocky mountains , and when it molts
it swells the streams thereabouts to a
tremendous height. We wont into camp ,
and sent back to Fort Brown to have a
boat built to ferry Iho men and supplies
ever the booming river. It took a. week
to Construct the boat , and Reovo3 had
become so impatient that ho would not
wait for it. With MH own men he man
aged to got across the river ; and Cap
tain Russell was instructed to rejoin
him at Stinking Water , which was
about four days' march from whore wo
wore. But it took us so much longer
than four days to got over the .Big Horn
that by the time wo reached SMnking
Water Reeves and his party had gone
from there more than a week. Ho had
all of the guides with him , and there
wo were without any means of telling
where ho had gone.
"Captain Russell announced his inten
tion of trying to follow Reeves without
guides. But the question was how to
get across the Stinking Water , for that
river was on just as much of a boom as
the Big Horn was. Wo had lo go inlo
camp again until the river would recede ,
or until we could find a ford. The
soldiers did not euro whether wo found n
ford or not. Wo had provisions to last
us for some time , and it was more pleas
ant to lie there in camp with nothing to
do but fish and hunt than to bo on the
march. All kinds of game abounded ,
and Ihe streams were ulivo with trout.
"Wo were then in the marshy country
on Iho norlh forks of Slinking Water.
Aflor wo had been there about a week
the soldiers did not want to stay any
longer , so they began to search in
earnest for a ford. VVhen ono was found
wo crossed the river without great dilli-
culty. Wo tied the multis in ono long
siring by f.iston'ng the halter straps of
the animals to the lails. Some of the
little mules had to swim , but most of the
string could line a footing. It was quite
an undertaking for them though , since
each of them was weighed with about ,
three hundred pounds.
"A short limo before wo crossed Stink
ing Water the river had been forded at
the same point by a band of Indians , but
in the opposite direction. When wo got
ever wo found about fifty puppy dogs on
the shore. They had como that far with
the Indians and'being unable lo swim
Iho stream had been abandoned by their
owners. The shore was lined with the
puppies and when wo eamo up on them
thov took to the bushes. I never heard
such a howling in my life. Some of us
wrapped blankets around us and the
litllo dogs , mistaking us for Indians ,
permitted us to approach near enough
to them lo feed them.
"Wo hud a compass with us , and wo
kept on until wo st"uck another of the
North Forks of Stinking Water. Cross
ing that wo followed a bee line by the
compass up into tlio mountains until wo
found ourselves in the range of Jiig
Snowy mountain. When wo reached
the summit wo discovered that vo could
not col down Iho other side. Wo could
see the valley below urf , but il was as in
accessible lo'us us though it were in the
moon. Wo thou worked our way baclc
and got inlo a park on the edge of u
snowy range and into Iho muvsliv coun
try whore Ihcro were hundreds of elk.
There wo lloundorod around , and at
length went into camp.
"Captain Russell kept Bonding men
out in all directions to hunt for a trail.
The bnow that hud fallen since anybody
had passed through there to make u trail
had covered everything , and wo were
completely lost. Nobody was disturbed
about it , though , but Captain Ru&boll.
Ho grew provoked at the men , for ho
realized the fuel that every time ho sent
them out to look for a trail they made
no effort to find ono , but hunted oik in
stead.
"At lust ho eamo to mo and said :
" 'They loll mo that you have been
through here 'before , and know this
country.1
" 'Il was horo. ' I said , 'that the No ?

"Well , take us some place. Wo don't

" 'We must have moro provisions bo-

" 'Kill some elk. Bring the mout Into
camp and jerk It. Then lead us out of

"I took four soldiers and three of my
puckers , and started on an elk hunt.
Wo traveled several miles , and sot up a
camp. The first time wo went out shoot
ing wo killed four ollc. I told one of the
soldiers to remain with the elk while the

veycd him to the camp , did what wo
could to bring him to. Ho revived , and
wo then discovered that one of his arms
was broken , and that ho was sultoring
from countless wounds in all parts of his
body.
' 'Tho soldier said that , while ho was
busy wording on tlio ollc , ho heard a
boar approach. Ho sprang on a rqck and
the bear sat down to look at him. It was
an old she bear with three cubs. Ho
was afraid to shoot at the bear for four
of only wounding her in which case
ho know bhe would kill him as ho was
not a bear lighter. Ho decided that ho
would go around the rock , and when ho
was out of the bear's sight , muko for the
camp lo procure roinforcomonls.
"Ho did so , and when ho arrived at
the other end of the rock there was Mrs.
Boar waiting for him. The soldier lircd
ut the brnto , and missed her. In a second
end she was on him. Ho fell to the
ground and feigned death. The boar re
treated a few feet , and , bitting down ,
kept watching him. Soon ho looked up
to see if she was gone , and she once more
atlacked him , this time tearing him al
most to pieces. Ho fainted , and the
bciii * , satisfied that she hud killed him ,
walked olT , apparently in search of other
bears to como to the picnic.
"After wo had done what wo could for
the wounded boldior wo left one of the
comrades with him , and the rest of us
started out to got the elk wo had killed.
"Wo proceeded with all the caution that
wo could , never leaving the shelter of
ono rock without lirst assuring ourselves
that there wore no bears in sight ahead.
As wo eamo up to u point whore wo could
BCO the dead elk , wo noticed four enor
mous bears digging holes in the ground
alongside of our game. The } wore get
ting ready to bury the ollc. They baw
us as soon us wo saw them. Instantly
they started for us. Wo dropped our
guns and made for a tree iipioco.Vo
were not huntlngfor ! boars , and wo did
not propose to gdtlnto any heated argu
ment with that party.
"While I was Ifruntlcnlly climbing a
tree I caught hold uf a limb that was
rotten , and it broke. That throw mo
back , and although I was at least ton
foot from the ground , a bear seized ono
of my boots and ripped it from my foot ,
lu another moment I had pulled myself
out of roach , and I was exceedingly glad
of it.
"Settling oursblvos in the trees , wo
opened a fusilude'on the boars with our
revolvers. Wo hail an inexhaustible
supply of cartridges in our bolts , and
every tlmo a bulliit struck a boar ho
would sit down and blto or tour at the
wound with all his might. The more
wo shot at the boars the more angry
they became and the greater was our
enjoyment. They inudo all sorts of at
tempts to got UP to us , but wo kept them
from accomplishing any such font , for
wo fully realized that if they once
joined us they would make it very un-
uomfortnblo for u .
"Finally wo determined to select ono
particular boar , and to blioot at him all
Ut once , and to keep this up until wo had
killed him. Then wo were to pick out
another and treat him the same way.
By tills plan wo killed two of the boars
mid the other twoambled oil about their
business. Dobcendlng from the trot's ,
wo secured our game and took it into
camp. Loading the moat and the
wounded Boldior on the paclc mules , wo
muko our \vn.\ ban iheadquarters. .

they were in , about the first thijipr I did
was to get nearly all of my mules stuck
in the mud. A peculiarity of these
marshes is that yon may be ( joinpr along
all right , and thinking that you are
treading on solid ground , when , before
you know it you will sink to your waist.
The first half of the string1 of mules
would got along without trouble , but
they would cut the upper crust , and the
mules that camp after them would sink
out of sight , being borne down by Iheir

"Fortuimtoly for us wo stumbled upon
a couple of prospectors ono day , and wo
asked them where they had como from.
\Vowouldnotndmit that wo were lost ,
but intended ; when they lold us where
Ihoy hailed from , lo ask them how far
It was to the point they mentioned. Of
coui'tio , that was a perfectly natural
question.
"They told us thai Ihoy were from
Cook City , and aflor wo had gleaned all
Iho information wo dobired relative to
Iho distance to that place , Captain Kus-
boll asked them if they had seen or
hoard of Keoves and his men. They re
plied that Keoves was at their camp ,
IwolVo miles from where wo were then.
"Captain Kussoll fiont word to Itcevos
to como to us , and when Hooves came
ho told us to go around Norlh Fork , and
to ifieet him nl some place six days
march from the t > lnrllng point. Wo
were oul of provisions , and could not
undertake mieh a march without some
thing to oat on the way. I was then or
dered to go 2")0 mlles north , lo Fort
Kills , in Ihe Gallntin yalloy , in Mon
tana' , to fetch supplies to the soldiers , to
await my return at Cook Cily , which
was merely a mining camp.
"I Bet out with the p.ick mules , and
wan twelve days making the trip to Fort
Kills. When I came back wo started
another way down Iho North Forks and
wont n round to Ihe Crow agency on Still-
water. Hooves was there and moro pro
visions wore sent lo us from FortCustor.
Hooves1'party riol enl on their line , and
wo wont after Ihom , bul wo could tint
overtake thorn. ' They got ever into
Montana. Wo were supposed to ho
guarding them , but wo hcarcoly oversaw
saw them. Wo did strike thorn by ac
cident on Lttllo I31g Horn rlvor aflor wo
had hunted for Ihom for Iwo weeks , Wo
than had to go down the Little Hlg
Ildrn , four dayb'march to Fort Cutter
for moro provisions.
' Hooves wont down the Tongue river
Into Wyoming territory. When wo got
to the river it was so high Unit wo
could not cross It , and wo hud to Ho there
on the wrong side for a week. So
Iteuvos got away from us again. Wo
found ono of the posts ho had sol oul on
Powder river. It was then snowing hard ,
and Captain Husboll became dbcour-
aged. lie bent two men oul lo eacth up
to Hooves , and to toll him that wo would
not go any further. Hooves replied that
ho did not care where we went , and that
' 1m did not want to bo bothered with us.
"Tho biirvo.vlng party wont on toward
Iho Uiack Hills , and wo followed I'owdor
rlvor to Fort McKlnnoy , under Iho Dig
Horn mountain. Wo belonged on the
other side of the Dig Horn. Snow to
the depth of two feet was on the ground ,
and how were wo going 10 cross those
mountains'1 ! Wo lay at Fort MvKlnuoy
two weeks before wo could procure a
guide. Captain Hussoll telegraphed to
Washington and asked If wo should re
main at > Forl McKinney or go lo Fort
Brown. The reply eamo lo go homo
where wo belonged.
"Wo made a start , and after getting1
up in the snowy range of the Big Horn ,
Wo got lost again. Our guide left us ,
fearful of the consequences. Wo kent
on going down the mountain on the side
opposite to the ono wo started up , and at
hibt , by good fortune , wo eamo lo tbo
Wind rivor. Wo wont up tlio Wind
river and a month from the time of setting

HOW FARMING PAYS IN NEBRASK

Juno 10. Mr. Editor : I want to write you
something about my experience since i camq
ironi Sweden to America. I arrived in IhSt
btnto "f Indiana in 1S7D. My money was ex
hausted and I had not a dollar left. I hired ,
out to work on n ( arm at 20 per month. I
worked llvo years ol that , price , then rented
n fur in onoyear. At the end of that time I
had saved $000. In 187T I eamo to this place ,
built a sod honuo , bought a team and wagon ,
n few household goods , hnvliiK only a few
dishes und us many farming implements na
mv pllo would admit o. ' , reserving n portiou
to llvo on till I could ralso u crop. I took a
homestead and timber claim , IJy the time I
biul made Html proof on these claims I hu4
nuiMiinulutcd qulto n stoolc of horses ,
cattle and hogs. I therefore bought another
quarter bcction of land and have it all paid
tor but ono payi'iunt , nnd liavo tlio stuff
ready lo make that payment when it becomes
I iiavo attended strictly to farming with no
0 itsidi ; speculation , anil what I have made
here cannot be bought for gin.OOJ.
There are scores of my countrymen within
mv acquaintance who have done equally as
well in I. Some Uitina too into to got homesteads -
steads , but have done qulto as well , consider
ing tlio uhiuifo they had of getting land. In
fact , all have inndu money hero ( except wliero
thov have had some oxtrumoly bad luck ) that
would make money anywhere.
if wo had staid in Iho old country it would
have been all we could do to earn enough to
o.u , and wear very poor clothes and keep out
01 debt. , ,
I have often been urged to vote the inde
