For days we had been marching with starving horses over rolling prairies from which the Indians had burned j soldiers dropped in their tracks along every blade of buffalo grass. Not a j the grassy slopes catight sight of three or four scouts and troopers crawling toward the opening of the ravine, evidently bent on getting a shot at the occupants. In a moment those fellows were flattened jout on the ground like a hunted squirrel on the trunk of a tree, and the moisture-laden air rang wtth shots asthe lead whizzed over their heads. ... Every one seemed to wake up all at once to the realization that there was a hest of redskins up at the head of the gully. Presently f. concerted ef­ fort was made to fetch them out. Half a dozen officers and several dozen soldiers ana .scouts took part and, as though lycommon consent, the leadership devolved on one of the handsomest, bravest, manliest cav. alrynien it was ever my lot to know-- Philo Clark, then Lieutenant and Aide-de-camp to General Crook. I rerueml>er him vividly as he looked that day, the broad brim of his scout­ ing hat tossed back from his fore­ head, the collar of his buckskin hunt­ ing shirt loosely fastened at the throat--no sign of uniform about him, for in those days we rarely wore the army blue on Indian campaigns. He came striding forward, rifle in hand, and waving the men to "go in" along the slopes to the right and left of the ravine. He himself, to my horror, coolly pushed straight for­ ward into what might be called the mouth of the gully--straight on past the point where the venturesome troopers had been flattened out so short a time before. * jn an instant, it seemed to me, the clump of bushes at the upper end be­ gan to spit fire like a Fourth of July mine. A blue cloud of" sulphur suioke hung over the Indian burrow. The clatter of rifle shots was like that of a Gattling gun. Several ---'-LI 01,263 OtD LIBERTY BELL* TWti tent had we in the entire command; not-a change of clothing, and--since we crossed the Little Missouri and struck the head waters of Heart River--not a full stomach. Rations were well nigh exhausted. Wc were living on "quarter portions" of bacon, hardtack and sugarless cof­ fee. It was the summer of the terrible Custer Massacre (1876), and night and day we were pursuing the Sioux, hop­ ing to overtake and punish them. But they seemed to have scattered over the face of the earth. Sitting Bull, with a great follow- • log, bad crossed the Yellowstone and Hone north. and daring Jim White, one of our best scouts a great friend of Buffalo Bill's, gave one ghastly cry, "Oh my God, boys!" clasped his hands to his heart and plunged forward on his face, stone dead. Keeling back from the sudden shock, our men at the moment scat­ tered right and left for we had struck a formidable ambush. Not a vestige of an Indian could we see; yet that scooped-uut shelter of theirs was evidently crammed with them. I myself was over on the right bank at the time, and ducked with amazing promptitude when that storm of Are nnnrr ana lead burst on us. Mv next Crazy Horse, a brilliant \ thought, when I found myself un- leader, -with a host of j hurt, was for Clark. We had been Pgailallas and Brules at his back, was known to have made for the fast­ nesses of the Bad Lands of Western Dakota. Thither Gen. Cook was now lead­ ing us--a column strong in numbers, for we had some forty companies of regulars, as well as a goodly force of ^scouts, packers, and others. Our command consisted of the en­ tire Third Cavalry, most of the Fifth, •Ibatallion--four troops--of the Sec­ ond Cavalry, and a detachment of Infantry chosen from three regiments. "We had men enough to overcome all the Indians in Lakota; but with warm friends from our cadet days at West Point, and .my heart was in my mouth with fear for him Tuere he stood, just where he had seen him the instant before, with the same quiet smile on his face, never bending, never swerving, if anything rising higher on tiptoe, as i though striving to peer into those dark.

"Come out of that, Philo, for heaven's sake!" gelled a second cav­ alryman close behind me. But just as placidly and unconcernedly as he would have strolled into his troop stables, smiling the while to the con­ sternation he was creating, even finding time for a half laughing re­ joinder to the appeal of a comrade from our side, Clark pushed ahead until he could peer in through the ft aggressive warfare.

Chicago is the metropolitan marvel of the uni­ verse, and the stranger who takes in its main points of interest in­ telligently may gain an experience profitable, pleasing and instruct­ ive, and know in the true sense of the woi d what a real, modern city, and a representative American city at that, means, in these latter days of rapid progress.

Tie wed in a historical light Chicago has something more to boast of than the novelty, rush and bustle of the average frontier town of mushroom growth. Tragedy haunted its inception, mighty sirrows digAifled its maturer growth. The visitor contemplating a passing glance at the fair city by the lake, or the sojourner outlining a sys­ tematic inspection of its artistic, mer­ cantile, and material splendors may, therefore, both profit by a preparatory peep into the story of the great metrop­ olis, for the same is unique and im­ pressive. Its original name, "Chee- cagua," derived from that of a long line of Indian chiefs, was a happy selection, for it signified "strong." It was first known'geographically as Fort Cho agou in 1683, having been located as a station or stopping place by the cood French priest. Father Marquette, ten years J previous. It shared the inconsequen­ tial fate of border points until 180±, j when the government built Fort Dear­ born near its lake limit, which was de­ stroyed by the Indians in 1812, amid <a general massacre of its white inhab­ itants. Rebuilt, around this border stockade began to cluster hardy pio­ neers from the East, their numbers in­ creasing, until August 10, 1833, a town organization was iormed, the leaders of which, together with representatives of the government, the following month met in council with some 7,< 00 Pot- tawattomies, who held an aboriginal claim to the district and arranged for their removal west of the Mississippi River. Then Chicago started on its race of wealth and progress. Four years later it emerged from obscurity as a full-fledged city with some 4,000 inhabitants, in ten years it had £0,000 people, in twenty 112,000, and, in 1871, fairly reaching the 300,000 mark, its proud inhabitants went to sleep one vainly against its stout walls a few years later. The progressive spirit of its people could not be daunted. A new Chicago bloomed forth, grander than the old. Purified as by tire, the Garden City builded better than it knew--its foundations set upon the solid rock of business integrity and fraternal enter­ prise, it stands to-day the pride, the hope, the boast of the Western hemi­ sphere. Chicago'* !*• In 1890, the census awarded Chicago a population of 1,101,2 kI, since when annexations and natural increase have probably carried the figure a quarter of a million higher. It has become the center of 7fi,8ti5 miles of railroad, repre­ senting thirty companies. It has nearly 4»0 miles of street, horse, electric, ele* vated, and cable railways, oae company ot which has transported 73,0(0,000 pas­ sengers in a single twelve months, and its annual general growth has an aver­ age of fully twenty per cent. Its yearly clearing-house business is over four and a half billions of dollars, its lumber receipts 2,(00,000,000 feet, receipts 235,006.000 bush­ els. Its stock yards cover over four hundred acres of ground, its school buildings number 219, its magnificent hotels are auipng the largest and best appointed in the world, while its ten, fourteen, eighteen and twenty story business buildings are to the new be- - fHICAOO IS 1S37. holder marvelous as the pyramids of Egypt. The stranger starting out to take in the principal points of interest in the city can do so on a'i economical and satisfactory tasis, if he will primarily block out his intended tour. Nearly every building or spot of im­ portance is accessible by horse, cable, or elevated cars, and • the fare is uniformly 5 cents. The parks that surround the citv like glittering emeralds in a fair crown, the cemeteries a little farther removed from the city's bustle, the stock yards, the hospitals, the churches, the charitable and reform­ atory institutions, the rolling mills, and other industrial works ere all within an hour's ride of the city's center. After the visitor has devoted a single luxurious day to a dTive along the magnificent boulevards* taking in a gen­ eral idea of picturesque Chicago, he may visit individual points of interest more cheaply and at his leisure. The edifices of the business center alone are worthy of studious attention, while the water, police and fire systems, the harbor and its shipping, the public li­ brary, and the municipal, county and government buildings and institutions are rich with a detail that will interest the eye and expand and instruct the mind of the beholden .-deep a } know i • < X . s^ ^caDtured a herd of 400 ponnies, found .-.V several Seventh Cavalry horses, one; of Custer's beautiful silken guidons, jCaptain Myles Keogh's gauntlets.and >|Dther trophies which proved that yfe these fellows had been concerned in j the massacre, and that they must be part of Crazy Horse's big band. , a;- Therefore their friends ccuid not be ' far away.

Out on the slopes near the deep, brush-hidden depths of the little gorge a cavalry soldier, Wenzel, was toppled forward on his knees, stone dead, and Sergeant Hass had just got a bullet through the arm. It was plain that there must be more than one Indian in there, for two quick shots suddenly rang out, and a couple of scouts crossing the lowlands near the mouth of the gully ducked their beads and ran for shelter. My orders required me to place the Fifth Cavalry in position facing the bluffs to the southeast and south of the captured village. After this duty was performed, and I had seen the various troop commanders and given them the Colonel's instructions, I bad leisure to look about me. I did not dream what a living volcano there was at the head of that little ravine. I had found a little patch of grass dowo in a sheltered nook, and had there picketed my poor troop horse and was coming back afoot toward the big "lodge" of skins beside which the CJplonel had unsaddled, when I Was Ready for the Smart Lawyer. It used to be the law in California that justices of the peace had no jurisdiction in cases involving more than 8200.

The Oreat Fire. The great conflagration ot Oct 9, 1871, thrilled the entire world with its su iden awfuiness. One division of the city and the richest part of another were entirely devastated. When men found time to reckon up their losses, 200 lay dead. 98,o(Mi were homeless, and property to the value of $620,d0o,- 000 was in ashes. Such a disaster might well induce men to give the spot over to the bat and the owl, or. slowly rebuilding, stagger back to half their former greatness. Not so Chicago! Phoenix-like, it arose from the embers of desolation, "Resurgam" was its hope, "nil desperandum" its motto.

The bell that rang at the birth of our Nation, one of the most sacred relics of our country, is at the World Fair, where we all may look upon it, though we shall never hear its clarion tones. ^ This great bell, weighing 2,080 pounds, was cast by Pass & Stow, Phil­ adelphia, and around it near the top were cast the prophetic words from the book of Leviticus, "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof."' Early in June, 1753, it was hung in the "belfry of the state House in Philadel- j phia, with no thought of the liberty it would one day proclaim. Let us look back over the (hundred and seventeen years that have passed since this bell rang on that Fourth of July, 1776, and gaze upon the picture of the scene so vividly drawn by George Lippard in his "Annals of the American Revolution." "Let me paint you a picture upon the canvas of the past. "It is a cloudless summer day, a clear sky arches and smiles above a quaint old edifice rising among the jyant trees, in the center of a wide city. Plain red brick the walls; the windows partly framed in stone; the roof eaves heavy with intricate carv­ ings; the hall door ornamented with pillars of dark stones. Such is the State House, Philadelphia,in the year of our Lord 1776." Within the house was Congress as­ sembled. During the session of Con­ gress this summer Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, moved that "The reunited colonies are, and ought to be, free and independent States." John Adams of Massachusetts, sec­ onded the motion, and a committee of five was appointed to draw up a declaration of independence. It was Thomas Jefferson that wrote this strong and forcible declaration. And now it was submitted to Congress for adoption. The people knew that their desr tiny was hanging in the balance. AU day the streets were crowded with anxious men and women, impatiently waiting to bear the decision. They eurged against the barred doors of the assembly rooms and stood upon one another's shoulders to peer in the windows. In yonder wooden steeple which crowns the red brick State House stands an old man, with white hair and sunburnt face. He is clad in hum-! ble attire, yet his eye gleams as it is fixed upon the ponderous outline of the bell suspended in the steeple! there. The old man tries to read the inscription on the bell, but can j not. * * * He is no scholar, he I scarcely can spell one of those strange j words carved -on the surface of the' bell. | "By his side, gazing in his face in wonder, stands a flaxen-haired boy, with laughing eyes of a summer blue. •Come here, my boy; you are a rich man*i child, you can read. Spell me those words and I'll bless you, my good child!' The child raised himself on tiptoe and pressed his tiny hands against the bell, and read in lisping tones these memorable words: 'Proclaim liberty throughout all the land, unto all the inhabitants thereof.' The old man!ponders for a mo­ ment on those words; then gathering the boy in his arms he speaks. " *Look here, my child! Wilt do the old man a kindness? Then haste you downstaires and wait In the hall by the big door until a man shall give you a message for me A man with a velvet dress and kind face will come out from the big door and give you a word for me.. When he gives you that word, then run out yender in the street and shout it up to me. Do you mind?' It needed no second command. The boy sprang from the old bell- keeper's arms and threaded his way down the dark stairs. •The old bell-keeper was alone. Many minutes passed. Leaning over the railing of the steeple, his face toward Chestnut street, he looked anxiously for that fair-haired boy. Moments passed--an hour--yet still he came not Impatiently the old man shook his head and repeated: They will never do it; they will never do it." (As the words were on his lips a merry ringing laugh broke on the ear. There among the crowds on the pave­ ment stood the blue-eyed toy, clap­ ping his hands, while the breeze blew his flaxen hair all about his face, and, swelling his little chest, he raised himself on tiptoe and shouted a single word-- „ . " 'Ring!' " "Do you see that old man's eye fire? Do you see* that withered hand grasping the iron topgue of the bell? I spectacles,n. and the other signatufW j followed and our Nation was born. J When the British force9 approached j Philadelphia in 1777 the bell was ! taken down and carried to Allentown to pr vent its falling into the hands of the enemy. In 1781 it was placed in the brick tower of the State House. For more than fifty years the bell was rung on the anniversary of Independ­ ence Day, when it was cracked while ringing. For many yearn the old bell remained in silent dignity in the tower, when it was taken down and placed on a platform in Independence Hall, where it has ever since re­ mained. The great bell was con­ veyed to New Orleans for the ex­ position held there in 1884, $nd now it rests in the Pennsylvania ST#te building in the "White City." Hail I brave old bell, whoso brazen tlurpafc . *• Awoke the echoes round the world And told with joyous, clanging note That Freedom's banner whs unfurled. Thy brazen voice, forever stilled, ' ~ * No more may clang in joyoua rhyilfc% •' But earth la with its echoes filled And will be till the end of time. : • ^ Feeple Who Never Go to Bed. A man accused of begging once de­ clared that he had not been in bed for thirteen years--he took his rest in doorways and passages. This is not a bad record; but many of the homeless class could doubtless beat it Certainly there are thousands to whom such a luxury as a bed is un­ known; unfortunates, obliged to lay their heads in the oddest places im­ aginable to prevent their being rudely awakened by the police. A sad ne'r-do-well told the writer that this was his principal thought for more days than he could count-- where should he sleep that night? And tie had a theory that but for hav­ ing this object in view constantly as he tramped over the monotonous pavements of London he must have lost his reason. He laughed in after days when he thought of some of his experiences at 4'dosing out" Even he, however, never slept in a stream, which was what some thirty persons of both sexes did at Budapest a few years back. The water, which was warm, flowed from a mill, and the vagrants got into it and converted a number of stones into temporary pil­ lows. Even people with homes could tel> some strange stores on this head. Of course, in some countries beds are unknown. The Japanese, for ex­ ample, sleep on the floor, muffled in a great wadded coat, and with a big block of wood for pillow. But, con­ fining ourselves to England, iust talk to the dwellers in the slums on the subject Why, going to bed there during the summer months is pos­ itively inviting torture! Many places swarm with vermin,and consequently those who live in them find it more comfortable to ^leep anywhere rather than in the proper place--even*on the door-step. l)o "trippers" ever sleep, except in railway carriages, and dc holiday makers sleep anywhere when they are at certain popular health re­ sorts? The manager of an Isle of Man hotel remarked a few monts ago that "visitors" never went to bed. His servants were often asked to provide breakfast at three or four o'clock in the morning. A gentleman is fond of relating that one night a party settled near his bedroom window and created the moat discordant din im­ aginable. He bore it with exemplar; patience for about five hours, an* then, dressing himself, he went out and mildly expostulated, saying he wanted some sleep. "Sleep!" roared one of the gang, blowing a terrific blast on a toy trumpet "Then why did you come to the Isle of Man?" Give tbe Boy a Chance. •'Did you ever stop to think what a hard time the small boy of to-day has in getting atong in the world?" asked Chief Clerk Sylvester, of the police department, to-day, says the Washington Star. "I mean the small boy in the city," he added. "This is a subject for serious thought. Much of the crime committed and many a fast life is the result not so much of the parent's neglect and the existence of places of evil resort as the prevailing disposition on the part of the citizens to crush out the small boy. At this season of the year he is the target for attack on all side& The majority of the complaints made to the policc just now are arraign­ ments of young America. If he coasts down the street in winter he makes too much noise or threatens to cut some fellow's legs off. If he plays ball on a vacant lot he disturbs the peace and destroys private property. If he spins his top in the street he must 'move on.' His marbles on a piece of well-worn parking keep the grass from growing. These and similar complaints, some of them from the outlying suburban districts, make the small boy the constant ob­ ject of attack by the police. What does he do?

"Yes, as the old man swung the iron tongue the bell spoke to all the world. That sound crossed the At­ lantic, pierced the dungeons of Eu­ rope, the workshops of England, tbe vassal fields of France. "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land and to all the inhabitants thereof!

"Yes, the voice of that little boy who, lifting himself on tiptoe, with his flaxen hair blowing in the breeze, shouted 'Ring!' had a deep and awful meaning in its infant tones." Yes, sturdy John Hancock, Presi­ dent of the Congress, had signed the Declaration of American Independ­ ence'in that bold hand which "the When a girl bites her lips, it, is not in vexation, or to control her feelings, as they say in novels; it is 1 King of England could read withoutto make them red. No Match The learned Dr. Bramestone was once interviewed by a homely couple from a distant parish, who were quite unknown to him. Their object was to get him to interest himself in their son, who had fallen in love with a lovely girl in his congregation, to in­ troduce the young couple, and to favor his suit. In speaking, they persisted in call­ ing him "Dr. Brimstone."

A large dog must have six or eight cakes beside a quantity of meat The meat costs probably about 10 cents, and tbe cakes are 4 cents apiece. The most interesting department is that of the patent medicines, at the top of the building. The mi^ tures of herbs and ehemicals are. boiled in great kettles and the liquif y is brought up to this floor to be pai-'"- in bottles of various sizes and labelled " "cure for mange," "liniment fofc sprains," and "toprevent baldness."

Tb« sleeping car was nearly full Wijfr stopped some place and an old raati with a map of St Lawrence County on his face got on board and. was shown to his seat by the porter. He piled up a lot of baggage and then asked whether lie could not go to - bed. ' * 'If you will go away for a few minutes,' said the porter, 'I'll make up your berth.' "The old fellow took a little hand­ bag and walked up and down the car, apparently looking for something. Then he disappeared through the door. The porter made up the berth and arranged the curtains. It was the first berth to be made upL "Presently old St. Lawrence, a3 we called him, appeared at the end of the car with a pile of clothes hanging over one arm, his boots in one hand, his collar and socks in the other. He had nothing on but a gray flannel nightshirt that justcovered hisJcnees.\ He looked around the car and then, made a rush for his berth. * "Everybody roared. His feet, wert/ bare and we could see tbe snow melt­ ing on his calves and ankles. He drew his curtains and remained silent for a few seconds. Then bis head appeared between the curtains^ " 'Hey, young man!' he cried to the porter, T}1 be gosh durned if this company ain't the i&eanest I ever struck.' > " 'Why, what's the matter?' asked the porter. " 'Weil, by thunder, they ought'er give us a decenter place to undrew than them cold steps out there be­ twixt the car&' "We found out that the old duffer had undressed on the platform, which was covered with six inches of saow." ^ SaM "Boo'* to the Sentry. A story was recently told a New York Times man by the friends of a certain young New York woman whose playfulness . is understood among her intimates and enjoyed jas such may be when it is modified by a gentlewoman's instinct; within the bounds of simple fun. The young prank player was recently abroad and while walking out in Dresden one day the stolidity of the soldier sentinels pacing back and forth like automata attracted her notice. A sudden im­ pulse seized her to test this cast-iron rigidity and waiting till one had passed she slipped into his little sen­ try box. When he reached it on his return, marching with measured pre­ cision, she suddenly jumped out be- . foie him, crying "Boo!" in hn very, face. The soldier was completely ttpwr set at this most unexpected perform-^ ance and actually dropped his musket" and ran away, while the yuung wo­ man havinR thus routed a portion of the German army, walked on and de­ murely rejoined her friends. The in­ cident it is said, came to the ears 0! the Emperor himself, who expressed a wish to meet this extraordinary young woman, but Miss admit­ ted that her desire did not equal his, as she was not sure in quite what light her jesting impulse would be officially received. Marketing In Spain. It is not the custom for ladle:* to go to market in Madrid, and even tbe first cook in great houses disdains to ' expose herself to the jokes of the market women. It fails to the places of the second cook to do the market-^ lug, and she prefers to pass her life in . the position, for it has many per­ quisites. It is understood that she exacts her commission on all she buys, and as prices vary this is easy with­ out detection. "She is too dear" is sometimes said when a servant is dis­ charged, but no imputation K made against her character. Budgely says the most difficult part of a drinking song is the "re* frain." • 1 .
