Throe Intcrcstini ; Facts.
It has boon calculated that a railway
train , at a continuous speed of forty
miles"an hour , would pass from the
earth to the sun in about 200 years.
This is an intotcsting fact , and is al
most as important , so far as one's needs
nro concerned , us the knowledge that in
about , 000 years the entire coal supply
of this planet will have been exhausted.
There is , however , another fact which
Is much easier of remembrance than
either of the above , and which is cer
tainly of much greater utility to nil , and
that is , that the "Burlington" is the
route from Nebraska point * to Chicago
nnd all eastern cities.
The "Burlington" has three daily
trains connecting Omaha and Chicago.
Those trains leave the union depot ,
Omaha , at 9:50 : a. m. , 4:80 : p. m. and 9:20 :
p. m. and run through solid to Chicago ,
arriving there at 0:15 : a. m. , 8:00 : a. m.
nnd 1:00 : p. m. Tholr make-up , particu
larly that of the "Burlington Flyer , "
leaving hero at 40 : ' ! p. m. is unsurpassed.

The Oldest TOUMI in th United States.
The oldest town in Texas , and it is be
lieved in the United States , is Yslotn.
situated on the Rio Grande , and near El
Paso , the chief town in the county of
that namo. It has a population of 2.500
souls.
The plnco is ono of peculiar Interest ,
alike from its ape , its people , Its archi
tecture , its agriculture , and its general
products. It is a well established his
torical fact that a Spanish military ex
plorer , named Corando , visited the town
in 1510 , and fcund It then a populous and
prosperous civilized Indian community.
Ho was Immediately followed by the
Franciscan friars , who erected a church
and established schools.
Yslota is believed to have been a con
siderable center of population centuries
before the visit of Corando. It is not a
lltllo curious , considering the ndvanco
of civilization from Kuropothat the same
race ot people exists in the town today
as existed WO years ago , and that they
are engaged in the same agricultural
and mechanical pursuits as their fore
fathers at that period , and for ages be
fore.

T1II3 COMMON IIOUSIO PIiY.
You Cannot Catch Him Napping Ile-
CUIINC lie HUH 4 , < ) ( ) ( > My OH.
The fly has some advantage over a
man. For Instance , ho has a pair o ;
double compound eyes , and with them
them ho can see in any direction or in
all directions at once without for an In
stant turning his head , says the Chicago
Herald.
Thcso eyes have 4,000 distinct faces ,
and all of them have direct communica
tion with the brain , so that If a man
comes along on ono sldo of him and .1
lump of sugar on the other ho will bo
able to watch both of them and stay for
the sugar so long as It is safe on account
of the man.
When ho sees ho can got ono and
dodge the other , that is exactly what ho
does , nnd ho does not have to twist his
neck in two trying to keep track of the
opposltn object.
The lly is particular about the air ho
breathes. lie hasn't a very big mouth ,
and his lungs are small in proportion to
his body , but ho is particular what ho
puts into them.
Good green ten , such as the best of the
grocers sell for $1 , steeped pretty strong
and well sweetened , will kill as many
files as drink it. And they will drink of
it. It is estimated that a pound of tea
and two pounds of sugar will rid a room
of files within ten days that is , a small
room.
Flies are voracious eaters. They do
not care so much what they cat as when
they cat it. They are particular about
regular meals. They do not cat long at
a time nor much at ii time , but they eat
often.
Careful observers hnvo stated that a
common house-lly will eat 43,200 square
meals in twelve hours. Ono female lly
will produce 20,000 voting ones in a sin
gle day , and they will develop so rapidly
as to increase two hundred fold in weight
in twenty-four hours.
Scientists have never been able to toll
how a lly walks on the ceiling ; or rather ,
they have never been able to agree
about it. All of them have told , but no
two are alike in their explanation.
Some say the ily has an air pump in
each of its numerous feet , and that ho
walks up there by creating a vacuum in
his instep and allowing the pressure of
the air to sustain him.
Others think he carries a minute bottle
tle of mucilage around with him and
lubricates his hoofs with it , so that ho
can stay as long as ho wants to on any
surface , no matter what the attraction
of gravity may have to say about it.
Between these two schools of thought
you may take your choice.
A nilllon Dollars.
If you were to eat a penny cake every
second for 42,800 years , you would have
a bill of 81,000,000,000 to pay the baker.
Don't try it.
A billion dollars stacked up in a single
column would make a pile 1,404 miles
high.
If the dollars were taken up in the nir
and thrown to earth in a shower , they
would cover an area of moro than half a
milo square.
The weight of $1,000,000,000 is equal to
that of 41,045 men.
It would pay the salaries of 20,000
presidents of the United States , and sup
port the royal family of Great Britain
for several years.
Placed edge to edge 81,000,000,000 in
bills would carpet an area of 3.7 square
miles , with a liberal fraction left over
for repairs. Laid in line lengthwise
they would form a belt 3.0625 inches
wide nnd 114,289 miles long , that would
go around the earth nearly five times
and reach half-way to the moon.
A billion dollars in paper money would
make , if spun together in ono largosheot
and then cut up into pieces of the proper
size , gowns for27,807 women , or dresses
for 883,001 children.
It would pay for the education of 250- ,
000 children from the kindergarten to
and through college , and buy a city lot
apiece for 50,000,000 persons nearly the
enliio population of the United States.
The Western Persuader.
Philadelphia Record : The western
method of dealing with a mob , illus
trated by a California gentleman nt
Kansas City the other day , no doubt has
its advantages. The enraged populace
thought that the Culiforniun , who was
traveling with two pretty young girls ,
was Schwoinfurth. a blasphemous free
lover from Illinois , whoso specialty
Is the abduction of innocent
mr.idens. When the crowd un
dertook to attack the object
of their mistaken wrath ho
backed against a wall , unlimbered a
ponderous Colt's revolver and said : "I
am McCartney , of California , and thcso
arc my daughters , Pearl and Medn.
Keep olT , now , or I'll fill you full of load. "
Thereupon there was a prompt disper
sion of the erstwhile bloodthirsty
throng. It can only bo surmised how
Mr. Mecartnoy would have fared if ho
had been some mild-mannered uerson
from the elVeto east , proud of his culture
anil ignorant of the persuasive eloquence
of a cocked revolver.
Sad ItcHiillH of Karly IMoty.
Snyder , the calculating barber , made
another startling computation to the
hairless reporter of the Philadelphia
Record. "The average bald-headed
man , " said ho , "has at least ton square
inches of bare scalp. I fondle nt least
twenty of those shiny pates a 'day , and
in a year the number reaches ' 7,800. If
all the barbers of Philadelphia fondle an
equal number of bald heads , then the
number would roach 8,700,000. If this
vast expanse was stitched together It
would make a skating rink four miles
square. Now , you see that man' with
the thick , curly bond of hair sitting
down in the next chair. Well , nt one
tlmo his whole faintly was bald , and , de
spite the fact that ho has plenty of hair
now , ho was bald himself onco. Must
have been a long time ago , you btiyV
You're right ; when ho was a baby. Does
the razor hurt ?
Hallway Tratllo in
The railway companies In Great
Britain carried last year eight hundred
millions of passengers , of whom only
eighteen were killed , by accidents to
trains , rolling stock , permanent way or
other causes connected with their con
veyance. From the satuo causes four
hundred nnd ninety-six passsongors wore
injured. This Is a record which com
pares very favorably with the number of
fatal accidents and Injuries to persons in
the streets of London during the same
period , ana it also stands well beside
that of the railway system of any other
country. It should bo stated , also , that
for every passenger killed or Injured in
Great Britain , the railway companies
hnvo to pay compensation on a far
heavier scale than exists in other coun

Discovery ofnD Och of Ancient Papers
in OfrOrRcUwn.
In rumaglng through an old safe In
Georgetown thro oilier day , s-iys the
Washington SUn % a part of whoso con
tents have not boon distributed for fifty
years , there waAibroughtlo light anum
bor of old newspapers bearing dates from
1790 to 1827 , all but two of which were
published in Georgetown. Though i
little yellow and tlmo worn they are It
a remarkable sUtto of preservation , am
can bo read qulte'cuslly : The Contlno
of Liberty , the best preserved of those
published before the beginning of the
present century , is a single shoot nbou
a foot nnd a half long and ton Inches
wide , nnd contains four columns on cucl
side. The advertisements throughoii
are curiously worded , and generally o
unnecessary length. Most of them are
for runaway slaves , and elaborate dcs
crlptlons of their appearance , togotboi
with their principal habits , are always
given.
"In ono whore $10 reward Is ottered
for information that will lead to the
capture of ono "Tom , " after describing
his personal appearance , place of birtl
former masters and tlmo of purchase bj
present owner , It sayo : "Ho.Is not very
black , but of yellow complexion ; his
fingers on the right hand crooked
toward the palm ; It was occasioned by a
burn when young ; and squints with ono
of his eyes. When closely examined ho
flutters very much , and it is supposed ho
has a pnss from his brother , who is free.
Ills name is C'ojsnr. It is likely ho Is
In the neighborhood of Mr. Ormcs' , on
the Southwest branch , as ho has or had
a wife thoro. Ho was inclined to the
Methodist for some time and has gone
without exhorting. ' '
Another , under the head of "Sales'
reads : "A boy and a girl about twelve
years of ago , also two working horses ,
two feather beds and some household
furniture. "
The first page of the Continel Is given
up to general news and advertisements ,
while the entire second is a report of
congressional proceedings.
In an issue of December 3 , 1805 , ap
pears President JotTorson'B message , in
which ho reviews the condition of the
country as it then existed and recom
mends that a strict quarantine bo kept
on all incoming vessels , as an epidemic
in which hundreds had lost their lives
seemed to have boon raging at that
time. Furthoi on he says : "With Spain
our negotiations for n settlement of dif
ferences have not had a satisfactory
issue. Spoliations during the former
war for which she has formerly ac
knowledged herself responsible have
been refused to bo compensated for , but ,
on conditions alTccting other claims in
no wise connected with them. Yet the
same practices are renewed in the pres
ent war and .ire already of great amount.
On the Mobile our commerce passing
through , the river continues to be ob
structed by arbitrary duties and vexa
tious searches. Propositions for ad
justing amicably the boundaries
of Louisiana have not been
acceded to. Inroads have recently been
made into the territories of Orleans and
the Mississippi , our citizens have boon
seized and their property plundered ,
nnd this by regular olllcors and soldiers
of that government. I have , therefore ,
found it necessary to order our troops on
that frontier to protect our citizens and
to repel by arms any similar aggressions
in future. "
The Washington Gazette of November
22 , 1824 , calls General Jackson , who is
spoken of in other paper ? of. that ditto as
a probable presidential candidate , "a
political bite , " nnd adds : " 'Tis true ho
never asks for an ofllco und , Mr. Adams
will please take notice , never declines
one. " The Gazette recommends to the
oooplo of the United States for national
nomination William H. Crawford. In a
prominent place on the first page appears
the notice that "General Lafayette ,
wo understand , will arrive in the
city tomorrow morning by the steam
boat from Frodorieksburg and receive
the visits of the citizens from 2 to 3
o'clock at Gadsby's hotel. "
The Georgetown Columbian of 1827
publishes "twenty-one maxims to bo
married by , addressed to the single gen
tlemen. " The first is pre-tty Intro1on
women , but it is undoubtedly true , sub
stantially : "I never know a good 'ollow
in all my life that was not in some way
or otner the dupe of women. Ono man
is an ass unconsciously , another with his
eyes open , but all that are good for any
thing are saddled and bridled in some
waj and at some time or other. If a
good follow drinks ( your best
perhaps won't drink very
much now , ) but if ho
docs drink , ton to ono it is because ho is
out of humor with some woman. If ho
writes what can ho write about but
woman ? If ho games why is it but to
get money to lavish on some woman.
For all courage , wit , ardor , vanity ,
[ rood temper and all other good qualities
that ho possesses woman Iccops an open
market and can engross them wholly.
Bui for all this , and though they are
the olagues of our lives , wo must have
them. "
In all the papers published prior to
1800 the name of Georgetown is
welled with a hyphen , thus , Goorgo-
Town. After that date the hyphen
seems to have boon dropped. The oldest
paper found was the Commercial Gazette ,
published at Now London , bearing date
September 10 , 1790. This contains four
sheets and sixteen columns , and is
printed on excellent paper with largo
readable typo. The old style s , which
so resembles the present f , is used en
tirely. A good deal of its news is for
eign , whole columns being given to Lon
don , Toulon and other cities of England
and the continent. On September 1 ,
17'JO , Captain Phillips , from London , re
ports that within the short space of two
tvcoks ninotcom American sails had
boon storm beaten and compelled to put
.nut England's'various ports for ro-
mirs.

urod. There ono afternoon ho met her.
3tio looked so cool nnd pretty , as she led
.ho little child about , that he lingered a
jit to watch tliu plcntiig picture. Thus
t wax that ho was on hand to pull the
Ittlo girl from thu well-liko opening
.hat had been fashioned for the recep
tion of the cool waters of the spring.
As she thanked him in her modest
vay for delivering to her arms the drip-
) lng maiden , ho looked into her hazel
> yes and well , ho eumo back to the far
spring next day. She was there again.
After the accident of the day before ho ,
of course , must ask if there had boon
any evil results. This started the con
versation. Ho soon learned nil. Thu
Ittlo girl was her younger sister.
I'hoy were stopping ut the other hotel ,
vhleh was quieter , aa her mamma
vas qulto an invalid , nnd could not bear
ho excitement of the larger houses ,
lor mamma never saw any ono simply
eat in bor own little piazza , where none
were allowed to venture nil day. As
she told him her simple story of how
lonely she was , nnd how 111 mama was ,
her clear eyes looked Into his with such
confidence that his heart wont out to
hor. Many days they mot thoro. Ho
wanted to call at the hotel. She told
him that nininma was so ill and peculiar
that she would not receive any ono , and
his call would only add to her nervous
ness. Beside , what place was so pleas-
nnt-ns this quiet , retired spot. Here no
ono else cnmo , and hero they could talk
together in peace , free from observers
as the child played about them.
This was after their acquaintance had
progressed and ho had looked Into these
nnzol eyes many , many times Ills own
eyes were tell tales. Any but such n
'
simple child as she would'have scon the
danger , but all thu while fho seemed as
unsuspicious and as unconscious as at
first , so that he was ashamed to confess
his growing feelings ,
The weeks glided happily by. The
summer would soon bo ended. The con
viction forced itself on him that ho
could not go away without speaking to
her mamma. Ho would not take any
advantage of the girl's Innocence. In
the qld fashioned way he would present
himself to her natural guardian and ask
permission to press his suit.
As ho approached her hotel In the
latter part of the afternoon , ho met her
just at the d 'ivowny in front. She
seemed startled. Her hazel eyes filled
with trouble. Ho at once asked her if
ho could not sco her mother. She burst
into tears and said that it was impos
sible , 'as mamma had been suddenly
tiiKcn with ono of her "sinking spoils , ' '
and could see no ono but her , for whom
she had just sent.
When ho turned on his walk back to
his own hotel ho had her promise to
meet him at the far spring on the next
day. lie mot Spriggins. Spriggins
looked at him with a curious smilo. Ho
had always hated Spriggins , and in his
smllo at this moment there was some
thing particularly unpleasant as Sprig-
gins remarked :
"Nice bit of woman that , oh , old boy ?
At It again , oh ? "
"What do you mean , sir ? "
"Why , that girl you have just boon
talking to and seem to know so well

After Thirty Years Thomas Tisdalo
Itcturim to IIlHVi'c. : .
Over thirty years dead to bis wife and
family , Thomas Tisdalo again apoearod
the other day to big spouse , to find her
twice married and living with her third
husband. This is the Enoch Arden
story that comes from the little
village of Sanborn , twelve miles
west of Lockport , N Y. In the sum
mer of 18iO ( Thomas Tisdalo , who than
resided with his wife and four children
in the Georgian Bay dibtrict , of Canada ,
wont fishing ono day. He never returned ,
and his boat was found capsized. The
inference was that ho had been drowned ,
and a tombstone was erected in the vil
lage cemetery , bearing the inscription :
"Sacrcu to the memory of Thomas Tis
dale , who WUH drowned Juno 10 , 1800. "
Mrs. Tisdalo mourned her husband a
number of years , bjt finally married a
man named \VilliamDavis. "By him she
had three children , but this husband
also died , and she again married , be
coming Mrs. .lohnCopeland , and located
at Tonawandu , N. Y. , ton miles from
Lockport.
A few days ago an aged man appeared
at the house of William Tisualc ,
of Sanborn , and announced himself o * >
his father. Mrs. CopeHnd was sent
for and recognized her long lost
husband of years ago. The union was
pathetic in the extreme. All the old
love returned to the wife , and she re
fuses to leave her first but now aged
love. Tisdalo refuses to say anything
about his wanderings except that ho
served in the Union army honorably ,
and is now drawing a pension of $12 a
nonth. Mrs. Tisdalo exonerates her
luihband from all blame , and refuses to
return to her present husband , averring
; hat nothing can drive her away from
, ho lost love of long ago. The compli
cated matrimonial relations will soon bo
dissolved and the sunshine of connubial
uliss once more resumed. Tisdalo is
low seventy years old and his wife is
jut a few years his junior.

It cannot bo said top often that there
s no basis for the belief that somewhere
there exists a sublimated English Ian-
juago , peofoct and impeccable , writes
LJrandor Muthows in Harper's Monthly.
This is the ( lawless ideal to which all
irtists in style strive vainly to attain ,
whether they are Englishmen or Amor-
cans , Australians or Canadians , Irish
or Scotch. But nowhere is the speech
vithout stain spoken by man in his daily
ifo not in London , where cocknoyisnis
abound , not in Oxford , where university
slang is luxutiant and where pedantry
lourishcs. Nowhere has this pure and
undefiled language over been spoken by
my community. Nowhere will it over
) o spoken other than by a few men hero
uid there , gifted by nature or trained
) y art. The speech of the people in the
nouth of the scholar , that is the abso-
ute ideal which no man can find by
ravel , and which every man mu t mnko
or himself by toil , avoiding allko the
.ondoncy of the people toward slouching
naccuracy and the tcndoncv of the
scholar toward academic frigidity. Of
.ho . two the moro wholesome loaning is
.oward the forcible idioms of the plain
icoplo rather than the tamer precision
of the student. The wild flowers of
speech , plucked betimes with the dew
still on them , humble and homely and
.ouching . , such as wo find in Franklin
und in Emerson , in Lowell and in 1'Iior-
eau , are to bo preferred indefinitely before
liq waxen petals of rhetoric as a school
n aster arranges them. The grammar-
an , the purist , the pornickctty stickler
or trilles , is the deudlv foe of good Eng-
ish , rich in Idioms nnd racy of the soil.
3vory man who has taught himself to
: now good English , and to love it and to
delight in It , must sympathize with
? rnf. Lounsbury's lack of admiration
'for- that grammar school training
vhich consists In teaching the pupil
low much moro ho knows about our
onguo than the great masters who have
nouldcd it , which practically sets up the
claim that the only men who are able to
vrito English properly tire the men who
luvo never shown any capacity to write
tat all. "

HKCllUITINa INDIAN * SOIjDHUlS.
The Marvelous Work of Iilcntcnnnt
Kindle at Pine HltlKc.
Writing from P.no Rldgo , S. D. , to
the Washington Star , George It. Harries
details the progress of the work of en
listing Indians in the army :
On May 12 last First Lieutenant John
Klnzio of the Eighth United States In
fantry , arrived at Pine Rldgo ugoiicv ,
und with malice aforethought estab
lished thereat an infantry recruiting
rendezvous. Accompanying Lieutenant
Kinzio were throe non-commissioned
olllccrs , ono musician nnd ono plain , un
adorned private. The rendezvous was
established In a bunch of three conical
Slbloy tents located just across the road
from the agency olllcors nnd within easy
roach of these Indians who failed to se
cure what they wanted from Captain
Penney , the agent , and who had to look
elsewhere for the desire of their respect
ive hearts or stomachs.
Vigorous olTorts were at once made
to Impress the aboriginal mind with
the idea that nothing could bo moro
desirable than intimate and oath-
bound relations with the Infantry arm
of the service. Now to the Indian there
was nothing the matter with the infan
try "arm ; " the difficulty nroso because
of the infantry "log. " In other words ,
the Indian docs not care to walk , and ho
will , for as long a period as possible ,
discourage any and all efforts In the di
rection of popularizing pudcstrianiHin.
It is perfectly nat mil for an Indian to
desire to bo a soldier , but his liner feel
ings rebel when ho sees before him so
far as the United States army is con
cerned only an enlistment service ot
live years , with all the rights , privi
leges , immunities and recompense of
a private soldier in the rear rank of an
infantry company. When an Indian de
sires to proceed anvwhcro ho catches
and mounts a pony , 'it may bo that his
immcuiato objective point is less than
half a mile away , while at the same
tlmo it will take ton minutes of running
nnd yelling to catch the animal , but this
is not considered by the Indian. That
horse or some other ono has to bo
caught , and the warrior then proceeds
in a m.umor befitting his condition as
ono of the lords of creation.
INDAINS DON'T LIKI : TO inVAT.K SOL-
Dinus. "
This love for horsollsuh was ono of the
great stumbling blocks that stood in
L outenant Kinzio's way , butit was only
one. Jocularly-disposed individuals
( who were out on recruiting service )
dropped mysterious hints as tho''walk
boldiorn , " oven going so far
as to intimate that the infantry ,
when on march , carried all its
supplies including Sibloy tents and
stoves. Such hmnurous falsehoods as
thcso wore promptly nailed , although
they did no real damage. The Indian
soon came to see the joke , but ho ditl
not enlist. In vain was it explained to
him by Lieutenant Kin/.io. through the
medium of Interpreter Wells , that the
infantry really walked but little in a
campaign ; that most of its movements
were carried out with the assistance of
railroads : in vain wusit truthfully st-ited
that the infantry service is easier than
the cavalry ; in vain was the expen
diture of private funds for recruit catch
ing tobacco , cigarettes'and hard broad.
All was in vain.
Moro potent than all other opposition
combined was the fact that a troop of
cavalry had been enlisted at Rosebud
agency. The friendly Ogalallas , whoso
homes are on Pine Ridge , could not un
derstand the discrimination which made
cavalrymen of Brulcs , who wore hostile
last winter , nnd infantrymen of thoao
who stood by the government. Several
other people , not Indians , wondered why
this was done , but they never found out.
Ills possible to raise a troop of cavalry
at Pine Ridge at tiny time and in two or
three hours , but the infantry idea
at that place is entirely lack
ing Jn feasibility. Several of
the chiefs and head men
have done and are doing all in their
power to aid the recruiting olllcor , but
they have not yet sueceoiled in overcom
ing the gonorallv advot-bosentiment pre
valent among the young men. Red
Cloud and one or two other of the more
prominent , loaders are opposed to re
cruiting of any kind because the taking
away from the reservation of so many
young men must nccossarilv lesson
somebody's in lluence in tribal affairs.
Those antique cumberors of the ground
could not prevent cavalry onlisunont ,
but they can , assisted by circumstances
a ready referred to , trip up any infantry
rendezvous. No ono , uniess conversant
with the circumstances , can begin to
estimate the amount of patience ex
pended by Lieut. Linzio.
Captain Bailey , who is hero with his
company D of the Eighth infantry
and who is in command of the camp , has
also labored hard to turn a section of the
red man from the error of his ways , but
so fur without apparent results. Captain
Day of the Ninth cavalry has iiud n
similar experience. Ho has boon trying
to help Lieutenant Kinzio.
If you want an Indian to do anything
you must feed him. That does riot
necessarily mean that the Indian at Pine
Ridge is not being fed , ( his rations are
now ample ) , but it does moan that there
must necessarily bo what are locally de
nominated "feasts , " at which beef , hard
broad , coffee and sugar are the main
features. The war department says it
wants infantrymen from the Sioux , but
It does not aulhorl/.o thu o.x [ > cmlitiiro of
a nickel for the only moans that can
bring about the enlistments U appar
ently desires.
Suddenly and without premonition ,
from out this darksome cloud of non-en
listment , the sky was suddenly Illumined ,
but for a while no onu know jiwt what
had happened. There was a good deal
of excitement in the vicinity of Lieuten
ant Kinzio's headquarters and much
mysterious commotion. The Indian had
boon seen to outer the tent and to go
from thence to the surgeon's ollico ; then
return to headquarters once moro. This
circumstantial evidence was soon after
ward supported by an unqualified state
ment , olllclally promulgated , to the
effect that one Marshal Hand , about
nineteen years of age , of brunette com
plexion , sound In wind and llml ) and
guaranteed to be gentle , had en
listed as n soldier in company I , Second
United States infantry Then the en
tire settlement rejoiced nnd was exceed
ingly glad. The recruit rojolccd also.
Nobody knowa where ho got the inn to *
rial , but ho became so very glad thai
some of the ngoncy pollco gathered hint
In nnd detained him until his jubilation
had given away to grief of the most do '
pressing description. That was Llou-
tonnnt Kinzio's opportunity , but ho
failed to take ndvnntiigoof it. Ho should
have nt once rcpjrted to department
headquarters that the company was full.
That report would have resulted In his
being ordered to return to Omaha with i
his ' "company. " Perhaps It was just na i
well that the ronort was not made ; some
commanding olllcers frequently full to
appreciate humor In their subordinates.
Company I languished In the guard
house for some two or three days before
Captain Pen-lev , the military ngent
lure , dlscovotsd Its Identity , then It
was turned ovtr to Its commanding olll-
cor to bo properly reproved. Lieuten
ant Kln/.lo had ( \ realising sense of the
fact that
"Sntna ilmlsrcmio inlsuhlof still
For Idle Imnrti to do , "
nnd having no omp'oimcnt for the ro-
crult around the rondo/.v'ous , ho con
sented to a business arrangement by
which Marshall Hand obligated him
self to feed the horses of Captain Day
and Lieutenant Preston of the Ninth
cavalry , the private to receive for thcso
extra services large monetary
compensation from the olllcerd
mentioned. On two separate and
distinct occasions did Private Hand
sit on a crucker box nenr Captain Day's
tent while Hint distinguished soldier put
up a kindergarten object-lesson In horao
feeding , but the instruction all wont for ,
naught , the private falling unanimously
to put in an appearance. Captain Day
expects him around when the paymaster
makes his next appearance.
Since Private Hand broke his con
tract ho has occupied most of his spare
tlmo ( which amounts to as much 119
twenty-four hours in each day ) with the
health-giving and nppotito-bestirrlnj ?
game of baseball. Engaged in thia
amusement bo has been known to expend -
pond moro muscular force in ono hour
than would bo called into play by the
feeding ot every horse within live miles
of the ngency. lie is a priv
ileged character. Ho is the only
Ognlalllu Infantryman in the world ,
and unless some rom irkablo mental up
heaval takes place there never will bo
another ono. Continuous and stronuoud
efforts have been made to secure for him
a companion in arm1 * , so that when
Lieutenant Kinzie "two's "
says right" ho
will not necessarily have to obey Tils own
command ; but failure has marked each
and every attempt. Adjutant General
Kolton unconsciously got off a joke on
Lieutenant Kinzio when ho officially
notified that gentleman that ho hud
failed to make proper returns of tlioV
strength of company 1 for the month oA-iy"
May.
The following paragraph is clipped
from a copy of the Evening Star of March
17 , 1S91 :
"Lieutenant Col. Kinzio , of the forty-
second infantry , registered at the war
department today. The colonel will bo
retired on the , ' ! d proximo and contem

panying the colonel is First Sargoant
