mm ' m: ASHINGTON--For two consecutive sessions a bill has been before con- ess to give to Brig.-Gen. Frank D. Baldwin, Uni ted States army (retired) the rank of major general. Some day perhaps the bill will be come a law, for it is worthy' of passage, as Baldwin is worthy of honor. The home of this retired officer as present is in Colorado, though she comes to Washington occasionally to live «over old days with comrade veterans, many of whom have chosen the nation's capital for their homes. It is rarely that one can get. Gen. Baldwin to speak of his services in the army, but his friends are not slow in speaking for him and every word that they say in praise is borne •oat by the records which are hidden away in the war department. w stances of t h e s - 1 1 u - ation de clared that B a l d - win would have been i u s t i - fled inVait- ing for reinforcements, but Baldwin believed that he should strike at once, and strike hard.

B a l d w i n learned that the Indians had with them t w o w h i t e girl captives and his desire to rescue them reinforced his desire for a fight on general principles. The lieutenant looked his men over and saw that they had a stomach for the com ing scrimmage. With the command of four six-mule teams, Bald win feared that a de tachment of the reds might flank him when he was making his charge and kill his mules and destroy his field necessities. He, | Frank D. Baldwin has been in BO many fighto Ifcr his eountry that the counting of them as sumes the proportion of a mathematical problem, fbr years upon years after the civil war in which he distinguished himself time and again, he fought nearly every form of Indian that the plains of tbe United States has produced. There was one Ught in which Baldwin was engaged which de serves a place in song and story, if some soug or story writer could, be found equal to the oc- ioasion. In the days of the campaign of which ^bis fight was a feature there was only one bar on Baldwin's shoulder, for he was a junior first lieutenant of infantry. The campaign was a long «ce and the fights followed fast and followed ' ^fksler. ~ f i While on detached service in Newport, Ky., ii» Ifiune, 1874, Baldwin heard that his regiment was ibjt be ordered, under Col. Nelson A. Miles, to make aib expedition into the Indian territory. The lieu tenant went to the front as fast as a train and a Jhorse could carry him. When he reported for >4uty Miles, who knew Baldwin's record in the oeivil war, put him in comnland of the spouts of the expedition, a command that W£s composed partly of whites and partly '«rf Indians. ** With his scouts back of him Lieut. Baldwin d a dozen engagements, one after another, th the confederated bands of Cheyennes, Kio- #as, Arapahoes and the southern Comanches. |The one fight, however, which for picturesque- Hess stands out most prominently in the battle list, did not take place until after Baldwin had in the field for many months. It was the t of his life, not in the engagement's size nor yet, perhaps, in its importance, but in what an officer who saw It declares to have been "its howltngly funny fea tures." It was picturesque and It was funny all right, "but it was dangerous as well, and Baldwin lost some of his men, and took his own life In his hands 20 times before he won his splendid victory •against tremendous odds. The daring of the thing was recognized by Col. Miles, by the gen- •eral commanding the department, and by the congress of the United States, which gave Bald- rwin his second medal of honor for his work on (that day. By one of the military freaks of for5- tunc, Baldwin, ahough only a lieutenant, foutid himself in November, 1874, in com mand of D company of the Fifth infantry, D troop of the Sixth cavalry, and of 12 of the scouts of the organization with which he had originally taken the field. ^He had about 100 men all told when Jbe reached the banks of McClellan's Creek, iTex There he found in front of MM fully 600 Indian warriors splendidly armed and apparently lusting for a fight. Every army officer who afterwards learned the circum- kitew he could not leave a detachment to guard the wagons because It would weaken, his force to a point which would make victory over the reds practically impossible. . Baldwin went to the teamsters and said: "I can't leave a force with you as a guard, and you've got to charge with us. I want you to put your teams in the center (>f the charging line and make those mules fly straight into the mid dle of things." It probably was the first time in history that mule drivers, mules and wagons had been ordered of honor, but he al- w»ys has maintained t h a t t h e m e d a l should have gone to, the mules. On the retired list of the army with G e n . B a l d w i n i s . Brig.-Gen. John B. Babcocfc, a close friend of the man who led the mule team charge and a frequent visi tor to Washington. It is doubtful if Gen. Babcock's nearest neighbors in his lit tle country home in Sarato ga county, N. Y., suspect anything of the fire eating possi bilities that lie hidden in the per son of this gray-haired peaceful- looking and reticent man. Gen. Babcock left the service not long ago and at once departed for the little place in the foothills of the Adirondack mountain* where he might gratify his love of coun try life. If the general refuses to talk of his army achievements to« his neighbors and if they are curi ously. inclined they might send for a government record, which, though only five lines long, coiv tains in it the nub of the story of one of the mbst gallant feats ever performed by an officer of the. United States army. # The glory reaped from the achievement consists of a little bronze medal voted to the soldier by congress, the consciousness of duty well done and five lines In the war department record which few people evfer see. John B. Babcock went into the army at the outbreak of the civil war as an en listed man. He attracted attention by his gallant ry as a volunteer, and the year 1868 found him. a first lieutenant of the Fifth Regular cavalry. In the spring of the fourth year of peace after the civil waf--that is to say peace between white men-- the; Kiowas, the Arapahoes and the Cheyennes made western Nebraska, western Kansas and eastern Colorado a section of what John Hay might have c&lled "gilt-edged hell." Lieut. Babcock, in the absence of his captain, was ordered to the command of a troop of cavalry and to take the field. Wkth his trooper followers Babcock was far in advance of the main command on the frontier of Nebraska. They reached the bank of Spring creek on the morning of May 16, 1869. While there a band of 250 of the best warriors of the plains ap peared in front of the cavalry troops as though the savages had come from the ground. Lieut. Babc'ock caught sight of the reds in time to give him a mo ment or two for preparation. He would not run and he could not attack, for he was completely sur rounded and the savageu outnumbered his force more than six to one. Babcock gave a quick order and with his men dashed for a bit of high ground, a plateau-like formation with its flat surface occupying a little pnore than an acre. The instant he reached the place selected he ordered his troopers to dismount and to intrench themselves as well as they could. The men lost no time in throwing up earth enough to give them some slight protection from the bul- lets which were pouring in. Bahcock would not get off his horse, although his tnen begged him to do so, and they were kept • from dragging their commanding officer to the .ground and to place of partial safety only by in stilled discipline and by Babcock's peremptory com mands to leave him alone. to participate as an offensive part of a cavalry < charge. The Infantry on this occasion was mountt - * * ed The mule drivers lost all sense of the dange# - : The Indians advanced within range and protect in the fun of the thing. They told the lieutenant; eg themselves in the hollows of the prairie. They that with "good cussing," and with good lashing* they could lead the cavalry a mile. The 500 Indians were on a plateau with sides*- shelving gradually down to the plains. Baldwin's plan was nothing less than the seemingly reckless one of crossing the open with his men and wagons, sweeping up the incline and driving thd enemy, if he could, or fighting him hand to hand, If he must. The horsemen rode up in line with the four mule teams abreast at the line's center. There was a word of command, a trumpet note or two, and the line swept acroes the plain with the mules on a keen jump, with black snake whips cracking and the drivers saying things which a mule understands. The reds turned loose at the advancing hun dred. Men and horses on the right and left went down here and there, but the mules in the center with their huge wagons racking and clattering behind them swept on with never a scratch. The reds on the plateau kept up their fusillade. Up up, up the incline, the mules leading by yards all the way, swept the blue detachment. The regulars were daring and fighting ag American regulars always dare and fight. One of the teamsters afterwards swore that he could see Chief Gray Beard's eyes popping with fear at the sight of the oharging mules. The level of the plateau was reached, and horses, men, mules and wagons went hurtling forward. The teamsters were standing, cracking their whips and bowling. Infantrymen and cavalrymen caught the spirit of the thing and howled in uni son. Those four mule teams went straight through the heart of the big band of Gray Beard's Kio was and Araphaoes. Meantime every carbine and every Long Tom was* cracking, and with one laat volley the warriors of the allied tribes fled, leav ing their dead and wounded and their white cap tives on the field. Lieut. Baldwin found that the two -white girl ' prisoners were uninjured, and not Ion? after the fight they were restorer tq their parents. Fer this charge and for this victory Lieut. Baldwin; Bent volley after volley up the incline to the hilltop and man after man behind the poor earthwork protection was stricken. Babcock continued his tide up and down the line. His blouse was cut twice by bullsts but his men did not know it. . "Boys, they can't hit a thing," said Babcock. '"They've been shooting at me and no bullet has come nearer than the north pole. 7 Give it to 'em. Hold 'em off and relief will be here in no time.' The shots from the Spencers and Henrys of the savages, or from most of them, ceased hitting the extemporized earthworks. The men lying prone knew that nearly all the projectiles were passing pver their heads and they knew also that every painted warrior antagonist was turning loose at the figure of the >£>6fflmanding offiasr riding back and forth on his horse, as indifferently as if there were not an Indian on the frontier. No one In that troop ever knew why Babcock was not killed. The Indians said afterwards that he had some "big medicine" with him that turned away the bullets. Finally a shot cut Babcock's boot and wounded his horse. He turned the animal , about quickly so that its other flank was toward the men, to whom he serenely said; "Those fellows can't hit a barn door." The commanding officer continued to ride up and down the line and the bullets continued to cut " the air all about him. Suddenly every savage head showed at 'once. 'The troopers slammed In a volley that claimed some victims. The showing heads were followed by showing bodies and in another instant the warriors were erect and running to the far rear for their ponies. They made off, leaving their dead and wounded behind them. Far over the plains, Lieut. Babcock; from his horse, saw the main column ad vancing. Relief was in sight. The enlisted men told the story of Bab<*>ck's bravery, and congress gave him a medal of honor. Later the officer, who is now living in retirement, 1 distinguished himself twice in action against the Apaches at Tonto Creek and at the Four Peaks in Arizona, There he woo the brevet rank of .lieu tenant-colonel to add to the honor conferred by his was breveted a captain and was given a medal ^congressional medal of bronze RESEMBLE A GREA T PRISON Beauty to Be Found in the Fore«tc of the Tropics.

The English language has long been predominant over the French. In 1890 there were in the world no fewer than 111,100,000 English-speaking persons, while those speaking French numbered 51,200,000. Since that time, statisti cians say, there has been a considera ble increase in the use of English over French. It is, in fact, rapidly spread- 1 to every corner of this globe (Copyright, by JosepJa B. Bowles.) TWO SQU**£ MEALS cessive eating, OT^frlth the habit of making eating the Chief object of thought. How jnuch progress, In business, in professional work or in social life would a persfoii make who should spend as much attention on eating as a cow, with hor four stom achs, a mere machine for making milk and beef from grass. Mr, Squeers of Dotheboy's hall was certainly not a model educator, but one of his lnjuncions to his boyb ex presses a piece of moral philosophy worthy of a nobler character: "Con trol your appetites, boys, and then you will learn to control your pas sions." Every great moral teacher has recognized this, the fundamental principle of morality, indulgence Is the mother of evil. Every moral lead er, from the Man of Galilee, who fasted 40 days as a preparation for supreme spiritual test, down to the leader of the latest cult, has set the example of fasting. Intuitively, fasting is associated with prayer as a means of spiritual elevation. Self- control is the corner-stone of virtue, and the man who can control his ap petite is master of himself. Yet self- repression is to be avoided. Desire is never to be suppressed, but always directed by wise suggestion. The time required for the digestion of various articles of food given in the tables In the books, refers to stom- 'I eat three square meals a day,' is the chief reason assigned by many for the abounding health they enjoy, for a season, in spite of that practice. The Greeks at the time of their highest intellectual development ate but once a day and the Persians, dur ing the period of theii^ ascendancy, once, in the evening. "The Romans, also, in the days of th^acepublic, their best days, followed the) practice of the Greeks, in tfeli^^^lfect, as in others. ? ^ Lycurgus, the Spartan law giver, carefully prescribed the diet of his ideal citizens, with a view to extreme simplicity. "Do you know," asked Cyrus, the great king of Persia, of the ambassador of a luxurious sover eign, "how invincible men are who cfui live on herbs and acorns?" Wheat bread, dried figs and honey consti tuted the menu at those meetings of the Lyceum where Plato and Aristotle breathed philosophy. One who has a thorough Interest in any work knows that at times the appetite seems to leave one for hours while he is doing intensive work. This tends to show, not that great creative work and good nutrition are antagonistic, for the contrary Is true --but that high-class mental work is inconsistent with frequent or ex- ach digestion, under normal condi tions. But conditions are seldom nor mal, and digestion is not completed in the stomach. Two dogs were fed an ordinary meal. One was imme diately taken for a three-hours' rup, following a carriage; then its stom ach was opened and the food was found to have undergone no change, while the other, which had lain in its kennel, had completely digested the meal. , When b fresh meal Is added to one onl^ partly digested, perhaps ferment ing, normal digestion is impossible. Such a condition is often the begin ning of chronic indigestion. The nat ural thing to do when the digestion of a meal.is interrupted by unusually severe mental or physical work or by nervous excitement, is to omit a meal, but the habit of eating at meal time, whether we are hungry or not, seems to make this natural safeguard im possible. If we do not eat we are at once assumed to be sick. An essential requirement for the maintenance of any organism is, rest Sleep is a means of resting the brain and nervous Bystem, but the digestive and eliminatlve organs are so over taxed by our unnatural system of eat Jng, that more than the period of sleep is necessary to avoid exhaustion, soon er or later. "'If the necessary nutriment can be obtained by eating two meals. It is a bad system that requires the eating of thr^e or even more; and thousands have proved by actual test that bet ter health can be maintained by eat ing only twice a day., Superfluous eat ing is bad, because, in a word, wastes vitality, upon which health and happiness depend. Now if one is to eat only two regu lar meals In 24 hours, the question comes, which should be omitted? This cannot be answered in a word Some argue that the chief meal should, be taken in the evening, not less than three hours before sleeping; because It is best to rest after a full meal, a few minutes in any case, and if the principal meal is eaten at noon, there will be more or less hurry in most cases, on account of business condi tions, and nothing is so detrimental to good digestion and health In general as hurry--except its twin sister, the maker of most of our troubles, worry It is a well-established fact that mer riment conduces to good digestion, and if there is any time in the day when one can feel light-hearted, It Is surely In the evening. The chief reason for having the principal meal in the eve ning is that digestion is the principal business of physical li>e and the eve ning is the best time ,to attend to it Many omit the evening meal, eating only morning and noon, because, they say, they feel most like eating in the morning and least in the evening, and -besides that they can sleep better on an empty stomach and that they re gard sound sleep undisturbed1 by the stress of a heavy meal, as being of prime importance sleep, but It requires a heavy meal In the morning yith the digestion ol which one's work must more or less interfere. Many eat a light meal at noon, be cause it is not always convenient for them to get at noon what they call "a square meal." It must be admitted that if soup and meat and pie and half ft dozen uishcs sre Ssccsssry to a good meal, there Is some force hi pr this argument. Those who take, this position think they must hatfe a sub: stantial morning meal, because they., cannot . have another "square meal" till the evening. In cases where the time for lunch is very short and the afternoon's work heavy, this may be the best plan. Then a few apples only may be eaten, even without leaving one's post or while taking needed exr ercise in walking. *• We know that violent emotion stops digestion completely. Appetite always leaves one on the advent of extraor d i n a r y f e a r o r j o y . M e n t a l a c t i v i t y o f 1 any kind is evidently inconsistent with good digestion, Now when one eats a full meal in the morning and pro ceeds to work energetically, it is un reasonable to- suppose, that, for in stance, a breakfast of fried eggs, pork chops and fresh bread would be com pletely digested by 12 or 1 o'clock, when the noon lunch is taken. When another meal is added to the burden of the digestive system, followed by a strenuous afternoon's work, it is un reasonable to suppose that normal di gestive conditions should follow--or good work. It is generally admitted that, the best brain work can be done in the morning, and the eating of a heavy breakfast retards brain spork. When the stomach is filled with food, especially if it be of food difficult to digest, there is a flow of blood to that organ with a corresponding flow of nervous energy for the process of digestion. This necessarily Implies a depletion of the brain. The man who eats a breakfast of pancakes, coffee and bacon, must not expect to do his best mental work. \ I have found hundreds who have ac cidentally discovered that they feel better, work better and altogether en joy better health by omitting break fast. I have found that many, like myself, before they acquired a normal appetite, often ate two suppers, that is, they felt hungry, on returning, per haps at 11 o'clock, from the theater or church, but when they realized that eating then was injurious and stopped it, they felt less desire for food the following morning, showing that un der certain circumstances, the desire for food is not a safe, indication of the need of it (the desire being abnor mal) ; for if one needed to eat at 11 'clock, that need would certainly not be lessened by seven hours' sleep. I have talked with many who have discontinued regular breakfast, at my suggestion, and never have I known one to try It for a year and resume the eating of three full meals a day. The gain in health, the lighter feel ing in the morning and especially the great improvement in the capacity for work in the forenoon, have induced them to make it permanent. This last- mentioned advantage has always been especially pronounced in the case of literary workers. I have, however, known many who have tried the two- meal plan for a short time, but have not adopted it permanently. The ad vent of the light "breakfast foods" has done much to overcome the American habit of eating a heavy morning, meal. The most frequent objection, by those who try omitting breakfast, is that they have a severe headache* or a distressing feeling of emptiness dur ing the forenoon, followed by a raven ous appetite. If the digestive system were normal such feelings would not exist, even after the omission of sev eral meals, as experience with pro tracted fasting proves. Natural hunger is a persistent desire for foo^not un pleasant when there is a prospect of satisfying it, but it produces no head ache, no pain. Abnormal appetite may be suppressed by eating, but the ab normal condition it indicates is not thus changed. To eat very slowly, at fixed hours, of few articles, with lit tle liquid and dry food, will aid in overcoming abnormal appetite. Having decided to adopt the two- meal plan, the best course is to change gradually, as advised in all other cases in which a change is to be made. Reduce the third meal in amount, gradually, till drink is finally substituted for solid food. Thus sup pose you are in the habit of eating an ordinary breakfast, eat only a few slices of toast oc a little fruit or cereal flakes, and reduce the quantity, gradually, till a warm drink of cereal coffee, weak cocoa or lemonade, sweet ened with saccharine rather than sugar, is finally substituted. Having adopted a definite course, pursue it systematically. Fix in mind the thought that the change you are making is a good one, and entertain no regrets at not having the accustomed depressing, dis ease producing meal. Fix the mind on something else than the meal. Don't stay in the dining-room; go out into the morning air, to the library or the office. The necessity of catching an early train regularly has cured many of the habit of eating a heavy breakfast. The cases in which the two-meal plan would not be beneficial are, I think, rare in persons of nature years, and for those far beyond middle life it is especially advisable.. I have late ly observed a case in which an anemic young woman of 24, a stenographer, who formerly ate breakfast in a hurry and usually ate bread and milk before going to bed, has been much benefited by eating only at 12 and 6, strictly, taking only a cup of cocoa before leav ing home. Only benefit can result, if the suggestions given are followed. In conclusion I must emphasize a necessary precaution, to be kept in mind when the number of meals is re duced. To load a car and turn on the full force of the current suddenly, would cause disturbance In the car and through the system. Eat mor» slowly, spending more time on th« meal and resting after it than when eating oftener, and avoid over-eating. The stomach is better able to digest a large meal after a rest of 12 hours, but a sudden deflection of nervous energy to the stomach is like Jumping out of a deep sleep.
