MY FIRST CAMPAIGN.
At Fort Yuma, in thf southwest cor
ner of Arizona, life had long been mon
otonous, so we heard with much pleas
ure that several bands-of -Apaches had
jumped" their reservations and were
on the warpath. Preparations were at
once began in anticipation of expected
orders to round the Indiana up. Soon
we received the orders by telegraph,
and' at once took the field. - :
The other officers of my troop were
either on leave or pa detached service,
so I was temporarily in command o-
my troop. I had graduated from the
Military academy but a short - time be
fore, and had been on. but few scouts.
Still I had seen enough field service to
make me quite confident of my ability
to c ommand my troop. .
The number of hostile Indiana was
reported at about SO,- divided into sev
eral bands. As the direction which they
had taken was not definitely known, it
was considered best for the troops to
separate, as a single -troop could easily
capture a band of the hostiles, or even
the whole lot in case the bands should
unite, while by separating the chances
of striking the trails would be greatly
increased. -
I hailed this plan with delight, for as
long as my troop was with any one of
the others, J, being the junior officer,
could - merely obey the orders given to
mo. But alono I would be free to exer
cise my ingenuity. .
Visions cf success rose before ma
Here was an early chance to win fame,
and perhaps a brevet as an Indian fight
er! I was alone, and would plan the
capture I intended to make. Old ser
geants with a troop are fond of giving ad-:
vice to the 'youngsters' just out of the
academy, but I would make them un
derstand that they needjuot attempt
that with me I - . i - ' - J -
My route was toward the northeast
We proceeded rapidly, searching eager
ly for Indian signs, through a desert
covered with cactus of many varieties.
Snakes, tarantulas,- centipeds and other
similar creatures abounded. ;
. For two days we did not see the
slightest sign cf an Indian trail, and I
began to fear that I was not to have a
chance to win my spurs. But on the
morning of the third day we struck an
Indian trail, and my hopes rose. They
were short lived, for the trail was an old
one. We soon lost it and resumed our
march in the original direction. '
Next day, soon, after an hour's halt
for dinner, the scouts reported an Indian
trail. I hurried forward to inspect it. It
was a very plain one, and even to my
unpracticed eye it was evident that the
band was much larger than we had ex
pected to meet." I concluded that the
several bands must, by a preconcerted
plan, have concentrated at some point
I was delighted at this, for instead. of
capturing ono band I should capture all
Without loss of time I gave the nec
essary tastructions, took precautions to
avoid falling into an ambush and gave
the order to advance. Old Indian hunt
era say: 'If you see Apache signs, be
very careful; if you don't see signs, be
much more careful " If the Indians sus
pect they "are being , pursued, they will
destroy, as far as possible, all signs of
their trail The clearness of the trail we
were following assured me that the In
dians were blissfully unconscious of our
presence.
The scouts, however, were directed to
remain near the column, and in order
not to lose any of the credit of the cap
ture I followed close on their heels. We
moved rapidly, and the trail grew
warmer every minute. We were at the
most not over two hours behind the
Apaches ;. - -. .
It was growing dusk, and I began to
fear that we should not come up with
them that night, but would be forced to
go into camp at dark. The country had
become rolling, so that we could not see
any distance ahead, and this should
have made me more cautious to avoid an
ambush. But I did not anticipate any
thing of this kind, for I still had no rea
son to think that the Indians had any
idea we were close on their trail
As we came over the crest of a small
Hill the scouts pointed out to me a thin
line of smoke rising beyond the next
rise of ground. I at once halted and
dismounted my command, . Undoubtedly
the Tndiang had gone into camp unsus
picious of our approach. ;
I could hear- my heart beat with ex
citement and anticipation, but in order
to lay my plans correctly it was neces
sary for me to see the ground myself,
After a moment's hesitation I concluded
to take the first sergeant with me. '
. We tied bunches of grass on our heads
and then crept forward ten yards apart
until we came to the crest of the ob
structing hill . I peered over, drew has
tily back and took a long breath. There
they were! There was no doubt of that '
for they were not 100 yards away, and
at the first glance I saw that they were
almost as many men as I had..
This was rather more than I had bar-'
gained lor. l had expected to meet ten
or a dozen, or, in case the bands had
united, 80 at most However, I was in
for it now. It would never do to re
treat, and my glory would be all the
greater from such a capture. '
I took another glance and then beck
oned to my sergeant to fall back a short
distance for a consultation. As he cam
up to me without waiting for me to
speak he said:
"Lieutenant, I tluVk" .
' He got no further, for at that point I
interrupted him. As he began to speak
the thought flashed through my mind :
"There 1 As I had expected, he is going
to presume on. his position as an old
soldier and give me advice." . I did not,
want any advice. I wanted the credit
and the whole credit ;' : "
I knew that his advice would be good,
for he was an old Indian fighter and a
levelheaded man, but that was all the
more reason for my not wanting to hear
his advice, for no doubt I should be in
fluenced by it, and then I should feel in
honor bound to acknowledge his share
in the success. Therefore, as he began
to speak, I said,- perhaps rather too
abruptly: -
"Never mind, sergeant, what you
think. Join the troop and have it ready
to attack as soon as I come back. 'C
, With a suspicion of a smile on his
face, but true to his reputation as a
splendid soldier, he obeyed without a
word. I again crept forward to the crest
of the hill, and protected by my mask of
grass. made a thorough surveyor the
ground.
The Indians, as I had expected, be
lieving themselves absolutely safe, had
taken no precautions to guard against a
surprise. They had gone into camp on
the bank of a small stream, which at
this point made a bend - away from me
and then back again, forming a V, with
the Indian camp at the vertex. The
stream had at the bend cut into the op
posite bank, making it steep and hard
to 6cale. -
Their campfircs were lighted, and the
Indians were -evidently preparing sup
per. Their rifles were stacked a little in
advance on one side. .- -
-. My plan was quickly formed. I would
send small detachments up . and down
the stream to cut off escape in those di
rections and would draw up my main
body behind '.the crest where I was.
They would ;have perfect command of
the camp and could also pick off any
one who attempted to escape by scaling
the opposite bank.
When everything should be . ready, I
would advance aloneas far down the
slope as possible, and as soon as discov
ered would call on the camp to surren
der. At my call my men would appear at
the crest with their : rifles cocked and
aimed. I hoped by this plan to capture
the whole camp without firing a shot .
I returned to my troop and carefully
explained the plan. Again I thought
that I noticed one or two peculiar smiles
on the men's faces. I paid no attention
to them, but made the details for the
two pa -ties to cut off the retreat up and
down the stream. " . v '
I selected trustworthy noncommis
sioned officers to command these parties
and started them for their designated
places. I then deployed my men as skir
mishers, and after waiting a sufficient
length of time for the two detached par
ties to reach their places I gave the or
der for the men to advance cautiously to
the crest of the hill
It was quite dark by this time, and
with a sigh of relief I saw my plans
completed without any alarm having
been given. .
I cautiously advanced alone till with
in, easy speaking distance, when I step
ped into plain view and called for the
surrender of the camp, at the same
time telling them that -escape was im
possible., "'-v.-"'!' f:,y. ";v : "!.' .v.H
I was perfectly astounded to seeno
commotion, no confusion in the camp,
but in reply to my summons a voice an
swered in good English :
"All right old fellow, we surrender.
Now march your men in and have some
supper. " "
' I recognised the speaker as one of the
captains from the next -post, who was
in command of a company of Indian
scouts, that I had mistaken for a band
of hostiles. I -
The joke was ou me, and I had noth
ing to do but to make the best of it So,
hiding my chagrin as best I could, I
gave the order for the men to return for
their horses and march into camp. .
The captain told me that all the hos-
tileii had returned to their reservation,
but when -his scouts had reported to
him that we were following him he
had guessed that we had not heard of
their return, but had mistaken his com
pany for the Indians.-"- He had thought
that it would be a good joke on me to
let me go ahead and capture his com
pany.:.;: . ' " -
After supper, when I went to inspect
the horses, the first sergeant said to me:
"Lieutenant, I started to tell you
that I thought that those were friendly
Indians, and when you sent me back to
the troop I cautioned the men not to
shoot unless I proved to be mistaken. "
It would indeed have been a dreadful
mistake if any one had been hurt- So I
thanked the sergeant f brjiis thoughtful
ness and ' at the same time mentally re
solved that the next time I would listen
to his advice.
It did not take long after I returned
to my post for the story to leak out
But it was a long time before they tired
of telling how I captured a company of
our own Indian scouts. Lieutenant J.

m of Peers.
The creation of a peer is now effected
by letters patent, addressed to the new
lord of parliament, which are accom
panied by a writ of summons to the
house of lords. Sir William Anson
gives the following account of the prop
er eteps to be taken : The prime minis
ter informs the home secretary of the
intention of the crown; The home office
thereupon instructs the crown office in
chancery to prepare a warrant for the
sign manual This warrant, when pre
pared, is submitted by the home secre
tary to the queen, and having been
countersigned by him it is returned to
the crown office for the preparation of
the letters patent and the affixing there
to of the great seal, and the letters pat
ent and writ are then sent to the newly
created peer. On the . introduction to
the house the new peer presents his pat
ent to the lord chancellor, and this and
also his writ of summons are read and
entered upon the journals of the house.
They form the "matter of records," in
which, as the lords revolved in 1680,
the title to a peerage must originate.

Decided ty Jury.
It is not uncommon for an English
judge to try to raise a laugh and
strange to say he usually snoceeds by
affecting an infantile ignorance of all
things bnt purely judicial matters. Sir
Henry Hawkins not long ago asked in
court, " What is hayr '
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger says that in a recent libel suit a
strange affectation of judicial ignorance
was evinced by Lord Russell Sir Ed
ward Clarke read, from a book of the
plaintiff's, -a description of Chopin's
"umber shaded head. "
: "What shade?" asked Lord Russell
"Umber," replied Sir Edward.
"Yes, but what is that?" persisted
the chief justice.
At this point the feelings of the jury
were too much for them. With a unanim--
ity reminiscent of the "Pirates of
Penzance, " they chanted in expostula
tory chorus, "Brown, my lord, brown,"
and the trial went on.
- Hollow Steel Span.
Mechanical skill of no ordinary char
acter is required to produce the hollow
steel boom, the spar which has now be
come bo noted in marine architecture,
advantage being gained, in exigencies,
by beginning in the center and riveting
the plates toward both ends. In the most
recent instance of this construction there
were four lines of angle iron braces at
equal distances from each other and
running the whole length of the boom,
giving it a good bracing, the face to the
angles being slightly curved to take the
concave shape of the interior of the
boom, these angles consisting of sections
measuring on an average some 15 feet.
with a lap made at each joint 1 inches
in' length and bolted with steel . These
laps are irregular, in order that two
joints or more may not be opposite each
other and thus cause weakness.
He Cava Her Away..
As everybody knows, Richard Wag
ner, the great composer, married the de
voted wife of Hans von Bulow. The
story gees that the latter one day came
to Wagner, for whom be had the great
est possible admiration, and said:
"Master, I wish to make you a little
present I have noticed your preference
for my wife.' Take her. She is yours, I
am proud to think that I have something
teat you win consiaer wormy 01 accept
ance." . .
And so a divorce was procured and
the marriage took place.
Later, when Von Bulow was in this
country, he laughingly said to a well
known woman of this city, "You know,
Wagner married my widow." New

"THERE IS NO UNBELIEF."
Vila Story of Beautiful Poem Bad Its
.... Origin.
How tho well known poem, "There
Is No Unbelief," came to be written
is told in Current Literature. : This
story, says the writer,, has never be- i
fore been told in print, although the
author, Lizzie York Case, when es- i
tablisbing her claim, has stated that
it was written 15 years ago for the
Detroit Free Press. Inasmuch, now,
as the poem is again going the
rounds of the papers, accredited, as
of old, both to Mrs. Browning and
Bulwer Ly tton, the facts of its ori
gin are how published for the first
tknev In answer to the question from
a young orthodox clergyman as to
her religious belief," Mrs. Case told
him, in the presence of half a dozen
persons, that it was the inherited
faith of her fathers that of the
Friends. "Then," said the young
zealot, "you are an unbeliever, and
you will be damnea.
"Neverifc'she answered. "If there
were no true God to trust in, I should
still believe in the gods of the woods
and of the streams. In fact, I believe
in everything in God, man, nature.
There is no unbelief," she continu
ed,. with rising enthusiasm. At fre
quent intervals that night, Mrs.
Case related recently, tossing ir
restless wakefulness, she reflected
upon the preacher's words and man
ner, and, wincing under the memory
of his supercilious summary of her
religious opinions, Borne of the verses
took shape in her mind.
At that time she was contributing
a weekly letter to The Free Press,
but the next morning,- instead of
preparing her weekly stipulation,
she wrote rapidly the poem. Upon
its . publication the author received
letters from widely separated parts
of the country containing earnest
thanks for the verses and many as
surances of oonsolation induced by
them. The author a stranger in
three different cities has also heard
sympathetic sermons delivered on
the poem. '
"There Is No Unbelief" should
not be confounded with "There Is
No Death," J. Lu MoCreery's famous
poem, about which there was once
so much controversy. The vagaries
of its various credits may probably
account for the two illustrious
names saddled on to Mrs. Case's
poem. "Thore Is No Death,'.' as was
definitely proved, first appeared in
Arthur's "j Home Magazine, July,
1863, signed J. L. McCreery. One
E. Bulmer, an Illinoisan, with ten
taoular enterprise, copied the poem,
annexed his own name and sent it,
as. his own, to The Farmers' Advo
cate, Chicago. A Wisconsin paper,
copying it, changed , the name to
Bulwer, supposing that Bulmer was
a misprint. Consequently, until Bis
or seven years ago, when its true au
thorship was decisively settled, the
poem was variously credited to Bul
mer, Bulwer Ly tton, McCreery and
to one Robert Shaw. But notwith
standing the fact that Mrs. Case's
poem is totally different, save for the
three words in the title and for the
religious spirit pervading the piece,
many editors have manifestly con
fused the two poems. In the west
Mrs. Case has been prominently be
fore the publio as an educational
teacher and lecturer, and wherever
the Detroit Free Press circulates her
name is known as a writer of tender
verses and strong dialect stories.
She has also seen a great deal of the
United States and has contributed
to many papers a large share of her
observations and experiences. v .
Want of oretbought.
. I was not married long before I
discovered that my wife was blessed
with tho ordinary amount of wom
an's curiosity.
One day, while I was out, she em
braced the opportunity to pick the
lock of my trunk. I do not know
what she expected to find, but I
think she must have been disap
pointed to discover that it was full
of nothing but biscuits.
When I came home in the evening,
she said, "George, what is the mean
ing of all those biscuits that I saw in
your trunk today?"
I replied: "Well, we're married
now, so I may as well tell you the
truth. .When- we were courting,
whenever I told you a lie, which
was sometimes necessary, I made a
mental note of it. And when I went
home I would ibrow a biscuit into
my trunk. One biscuit per lie. If
during, the day or during the even
ing i told yen half a dozen lies, I
threw m half a dozen biscuits. So
these biscuits simply represent the
number of lies I have told you dur
ing our courtship."
She said: "Well, my goodness! If
I had only had your forethought and
put aside a little bit of oheese for ev
ery one that J told , you, we should
have had enough biscuits and cheese
to last us for life. ''London Tit-Bits.
