MITCHEL During the daya when our regular army's only active service was in western frontier forts, with an occa sional brush with Indians, a misunder standing grew up between Colonel Blakeslee, the commander of one of these posts, and Major Truesdale, the surgeon. Blakeslee was a very over bearing man. He was a good fighter, and as he was small in stature and of a swarthy complexion he acquired the sobriquet of "little black god of war." A surgeon in the army cannot be called a noncombatant, for he must expose himself to fire the same as the fighters. Indeed, he has more need of nerve, because, while he Is buoyed by the excitement of battle, he must do his work with a cool head. Never theless Colonel Blakeslee in order to be annoying to his inferior was always making innuendos as to the nnwarlike work of the medical department Truesdale was obliged to bear these slurs because he had no recourse against a superior officer except pre ferring charges, and in his case there were no charges to be brought forth worthy of the consideration of a court martial. There Is nothing more galling than the petty slurs of one under whose control is the subject of the persecu tion. Truesdale suffered the colonel's Innuendoes as men will endure a spat tering of bullets coming from a shelter they are not permitted to move upon. The surgeon was a man of great equi poise, and no one noticed from his de meanor that be was annoyed. Never theless there was In his breast a smol dering fire. He would have challenged his commander to end their disagree ment at the point of a pistol, but a challenge of a superior by an Inferior would be- mutiny. Besides, dueling has never been recognized In the Unit ed States army, and without a more tangible cause than fhe one in this case a challenge would have reacted upon the surgeon. The colonel, not observing any ef fect from his slurs, began to Inflict upon his subordinate acts of petty tyranny for which any superior officer can find causes without hunting for them. The doctor bore them all with out complaint, but fire was ready to burst forth at any moment. Then came one 61 those frequent breaks of the Indians from their res ervation, and . the command was or dered out to drive them back. One afternoon the little force of white men were confronting thrice their number of Indians. The colonel did not feel warranted in attacking them, especial ly as he was expecting any moment to be re-enforced. While he was' con sulting with, his officers Truesdale rode up to the group and, saluting his com mander, said: 'Colonel, if you will ride out to the skirmish line with me I think I can show you a weak point in the Indians' formation which, if attacked, will sep arate them and result in scattering them." Now, the skirmish line was the edge of a wood, and the skirmishers were all concealed behind trees, the Indians occupying another wood beyond a clearing. Everybody knew that a ride on the skirmish line meant probable death, and every one who heard the surgeon's proposition knew that it was a covered challenge. No one knew this better than the "little black god of war." Turning his horse's head, the doctor riding beside him, he gal loped to the edge of the wood. There he drew rein, but Truesdale rode right out into the clearing. They were greeted by scattered bul lets from the Indians, but the distance was considerable, and as they kept moving neither was hit. Truesdale now assumed the lead, the colonel keeping abreast of him. The two men. watched by their comrades, rode to ward the center of the clearing. Ev ery now and again a white puff of smoke would appear on the edge of the opposite wood, followed by a singing ! bullet. The surgeon's arm fell limp. but he rode on. Thicker came the balls, but neither flinched. Then the doctor's horse was struck, but his rider spurred him on. Beaching the center of the clearing, he turned by the flank and rode between the lines. The firing lulled for a few minutes. The Indians did not understand this strange performance. Then suddenly, just as the two offi cers were nearing a clump of trees which would have protected them, the colonel's horse was struck by a shot behind the fore leg and pitched for ward dead. His rider fell under him and was stunned The doctor was now face to face with his own especial work, that of succor lng the-wounded on the field of battle. Dismounting, he extricated his com mander, lifted him on to the living horse and supported him while he made his way to the trees, and the two combatants in this strange duel were sheltered. When the Indians were driven back on to their reservation and all were again settled to the humdrum of garri son life the colonel was a changed man. He knew that he had fought a duel against which the army regula tions made no provision and that if he had not been worsted in bravery he had been outdone In magnanimity. Surgeon Truesdale suffered no more from spiteful remarks at not belong ing to the fighting corps of the army and other petty tyrannies, and from that time forward he was the most re spected mac in the command. Willing to Stand. A farmer owned a young steer which he wanted to break in to the plow, and, having no other animal to har ness with it, he decided to get into the yoke himself, giving the reins to his son. No sooner had they started than the steer bolted into a. wild runaway, the farmer holding on to the yoke with both hands and keeping the pace for flear life. r Over plowed fields they flew, and as he was about to drop for lack of wind they brought up against the fence with a mighty thump. As the son hurried to the scene the panting father managed to gasp, "On hltch the ;-veer, bub; I'll stand!" Na tional Moi hty.

Winners In Few Classes Can Be Very Well Picked Beforehand To Select Men For Olympic Team on Work In Indoor Meets. Experts are predicting freely that the indoor swimming season of 1911-12 will be one of the best in history. Not only is the rivalry keen between six clubs which have likely candidates for the national championship events, but there will be added incentive to the contestants in the prospect of a trip to the Olympic games. The early date at which the entries close for the Stockholm meet will make it impossible to hold outdoor trials for the water carnival, and the indoor races will be the only guide the Ama teur Athletic union will have in the selection of the team members. Never before has there been in this country such a wealth of well matched championship timber as at the present time, and it would defy the wisdom of a Solomon to pick the likely winners of the various titles. Take the fifty yard dash, for in stance. There are a dozen and more JAMES SKILLY, CRACK SWIMMER OF THE NJIiV YUKK A. c. men able to negotiate the distance around 2(i seconds, and, considering the difference made by good or bad starts or turning,'. there is really no choosing between them. Harry O'Sullivan and Nicholas Ner- ich of the New York Athletic club, Richard Frizell of the City Athletic club, E. G. Schaal and It. Scott of the Argo Swimming club of Philadelphia, John Shryock of the Philadelphia Swimming club, Kalph Sbinton, John Bain and Curtis Sloan of the Pitts burgh Athletic club. Perry McGilli vray, Harry Hebner and Robert Fos ter of the Illinois Athletic club, Ken neth Huzzagh, P. Mallen and H. Han sen of the Chicago Athletic association, Dave Suttle and Chauncey Heath of the Missouri Athletic club, W. Howe of Yale and Eben Cross of Princeton may all be counted in the running. Not quite so numerous are the hun dred yarders with chances to place, for Frizell, McGillivray and Hebner, who gave Daniels such a great race in last year's championship, all three finishing within inches of him. In 50 4-5 seconds, appear to be superior to every other sprinter. Still the margin is very slight Cross, Reilly, O'Sullivan, Ner Ich, Shryock, Schaal, Foster, Sloan, Shinton, Mallen, Huzzagh and one or two others have traveled the century in competition under 60 seconds. At the furlong, now that Daniels has announced his retirement, there are some strong contenders for his laurels. Bud Goodwin, Nicholas Nerich and James Reilly of the New York A. C. R. M. Ritter and Richard Frizell of the City A. C. and Eben and Frank Cross of Princeton are no further apart than two seconds, and Curtis Sloan. Perry McGillivray and Harry Hebner are very little behind them. .There will be some corking competition when they meet. For the 500 yard championship the field narrows down to Goodwin, Reilly. Nerich. Frizell and Ritter. whom it would take a wizard to split, but there are rumors of formidable newcomers fast drawing to the fore, and other names may be added to the list. Among the fancy divers the battle for honors would be of tbe best, but there is no telling how the rules Just adopted by the A. A. U. will affect the issue. Meanwhile Arthur McAleenan, Frank Mullen and Walter Lee of the New York A. C Kurt Behrens of the City A. C, John Stoddart of Yale, E. G. Shaal of the Argo S. C, J.. Battersby of the Illinois A. C. Frank Borna Mann, H. Heyn. George Gaidzick and H. Burton of the Chicago A. A. and Dave Suttle of the Missouri A. C. are good enough to try for the title.

A HUSTLING - TIME By M QUAD Copyright, 1911, by Associated Lit erary Press. Five men sat around a supper table in a farmer's kitchen after a hard day's work In the cornfield. There was Moses Bright, the father, fifty-five years old and a widower; there was - Abraham, aged thirty; there was Leviticus, aged twenty seven; there was Philetus, aged twenty-five;- there was Aaron, aged twenty two. Not a son had left home yet "Abraham," said the father as tbe meal was finished, "there's a widder woman named Parsons bought the Taylor place. She brought with her a span of bosses, four cows, sixty sheep, eight bogs and fifty ' hens. She's a hustler. She can mow and plow and chop wood." "What of it?" asked Abraham. "You wash up, grease your boots and hair and go dowp and ask her to mar ry you. You are thirty years old, and it's time you were married." Abraham got ready and departed. Moses Bright was boss around tbat house. The young man arrived as the widow was straining the last pail of milk. He sat down on the doorsteps with "his back toward her and said never a word. He was in greater fear than as if a bull had been chasing him across the meadow. The widow took notice of him at once and then ignored him for a long ten minutes. Then she stopped singing to say to him: "Get out!" Those were blessed words to Abra ham. He got He fairly flew for the first forty rods. When he reached home he found his father sitting in the door, pipe in mouth, aod sat down on the nearby wash bench. His broth ers had gone to bed. It was five min utes before the father took the pipe from his month to query: "What'd she say?" " 'Get out!' " That was all. There was more corn planting next day, but half an hour be fore quitting time the father said to Leviticus, who was working next to him: "Abraham don't know enough to crawl under a haystack when it's rain ing pitchforks. You go over there to night and spark that widder." After supper Leviticus went. It was either suicide or go. He found the widow milking the last of her four cows. She looked up as he entered the barnyard, but neither spoke. The young man stood with his back to the fence and chewed on a straw, and she hummed the air of a hymn as she milk ed. When she had finished she rose up and asked: "Any more idiots In this neighbor hood?" . "Yes no yes!" stammered the young man as he made for the highway and home. It was potato planting next day. At the supper table the father reached for a 'third slice of fried pork and said: "Philetu3, He up and grease up. Four cows, sixty sheep, eight hogs." Philetus turned pale and lost his ap petite, but he obeyed. He found the widow uprooting burdocks in the front yard, and before he could say anything she asked: "Ain't there another kid named Aaron?' "Yes." "Then run home and send him along and I'll start an infant asylum with him!" Aaron went and came back to shake his head and hear his father call him a dinged id'ot. That night the four sons entered into a conspiracy, and It was at the breakfast table that Abra ham said: "Father, tbe Widder Parsons is a hus tling widder woman. Two hosses, four cows, sixty sheep, eight hogs and fifty hens." "Waal, what of it?" was asked. "It's your turn to go sparking." "Boy, don't gimme any sass!" "No use to bluff, father. You either go sparking or we quit the farm." The old man was given the day to consider the matter. When supper was over and without a word to any one he slicked up a bit and tookthe highway. The widow rat on ber doorsteps, smok ing her pip. She bowed and made room beside her. Not a word was said for a long minute. Then Moses clear ed his throat and remarked: 'Them four dough headed sons of mine seem to think I'd better get mar ried ag'in. 'And being as you appear to be alone In the world and being I think I'd be happier" "Oh, I don't know," Interrupted the widow, drawing away a bit. "I'm alone in the world, but 1 seem to be having a purty good time." 'But them fool sons o' mine!" 'Yes. I know. ' It's dreadful to have a lot o' idiots around. You don't say It's love at first sight do you?" "N-o-o. not skassly. but I'm a hus tling man. and you are a hustling wo man, and and" "And you think we ought to hustle in this case?" "That's about it" "Then you come along three days from now, after I finish planting my taters." And when tbe father got home and found his four sons waiting and grin ning be said: "Two bosses, four cows, sixty sheep. eight hogs" But what of the widder?" was ask ed. 'She's mine, and as she don't like children every last one of you can pre pare to hustle out o' this and take car of yourselves!" Perpetual Snow Line.

Further cuts in prices are re ported from Portland and the price of canned milk is the cheapest known for many seasons at this period. The Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Company i3 seemingly making every effort to run its rivals from the field, but thus far without much showing of success. Some weeks ago the com pany placed a fighting brand known as "Jersey. Queen" upon the market at a rather low price in order to get back some of the business that the other eondenseries were taking. Nat urally, this was followed by similar cuts in the price by other canners, and the war was merely begun. The Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Company cut its price on "Jersey Queen" 25c per case. This put the jobbing price to $2.90 to $2.90 per case. In the meantime other canners were not idle, and fir3t class brands such as Yeloband, were cut in answer to this new movement. While Yelo band is being quoted around $3.40. actual sales are . being made at $3 net. Pioneer is now quoted at $3.40 or 5c under Carnation. Holly is rang ing at the same price as Yeloband, while Libby, an Eastern product, is quoted at $3.60 per case.
