TRUMPETER MUELLER, 0 0 SOLDIER 0 0 The Story o f a Man W h o Wa# Thought F it Only to Blow B u g le Calls. B Y E D W A R D B . C L A R K . Turquoise mining In New Mexico is of very remote origin. Many of the present mines when located indicated operations by the inhabitants of New Mexico at a time prior to or contempo raneous with the Aztecs. The first antislavery society was or ganized in 1775 at Philadelphia. Hans Mueller used to toot a trumpet In the Third cavalry. Hans was more or less of a butt for the jokes of the men of his troop. He took all kinds of gibes with a good nature that was as perfect as It was stolid. The trum peter knew more about music than he did about muskets. When for awhile he tried what the other men called straight soldiering, he was continually getting tangled up with his equip ments, and on several occasions at skirmish drill he came within an ace of shooting himself, llis comrades told Hans that as long as lie confined his efforts to killing himself they would offer no strenuous objection, but that if he got real careless and shot the head off some one else he must look out for trouble. As a matter of fact, he did one day come pretty close to put ting a bullet through the heart of Ser geant Peter Nelson, who forthwith thrashed Hans in an approved style. Captain Roberts called Hans “gross’* and said that he must stick to his ♦♦ ❖ ❖ ❖ •i* «»♦ ❖ ❖ SECUR ITY TRUST C O M P AN Y I it. Capital, $200,000. Surplus, $278,000.

He blew the whole scale of calls fi’om reveille through fatigue, recall and drill to taps, but bis soul wasn't In his music. Down deep In Hans' soul there came the thought that somehow be was not like other men. The smartness of appearance which characterized Sergeant Nelson, Corpo ral Brady and a score of privates he knew could never be his. There was lacking iu his makeup that something which gives dash to a soldier. Hans used to fall over his feet In a most un- military way, and bis bands were nev er Iu the proper places. There was oue thing, however, that could he said for him, he always tried to obey orders Implicitly. He generally blundered while making the attempt, but the in tent was right, and that covers a mul titude of sins much more serious in nature than mere blunders. The Third cavalry was in the Wyo ming country in the Elkhorn creek re gion. There had been a good deal of trouble with the Nez Perces, and L troop had been kept on the jump most of the time for a month. L troop was Hans’ outfit. There had been one con stant succession of scoutings. It had been necessary to send small squads in half a dozen different directions at one and the same time. The trumpeter had been forced to stay with the main body, which was not a very big main body at that, at all times. He had been in everything in which the xvhole troop was engaged, but the idea of sending Hans out on a reeonnolssance where coolness and the subtlety of the devil were necessary for safety was the last thing that ever entered the head of the troop commander. One day, however, one of the coldest days of the second winter month. It became necessary to send a scouting party to Investigate the rumor of the approach of a band of savages. Now, it happened that the whole command was fagged out, and this In a nutshell is the reason why Hans Mueller found himself for the first time in his life in a position of acute responsibility. He was ordered by Captain Roberts to proceed with Sergeant Nelson and two privates northwest until something was “ felt” or until the sergeant was satisfied that a wrong report had been turned into the camp. When the little body set out, the fa tigue of the individual members of the troop showed that it was not, so to speak, strong enough to keep these same individuals from giving Hans a sendoff. Hans had a carbine and a re volver. His trumpet was hanging up on a peg. One of the bystanders said to the sergeant in command: “ Look out for Hans i f you happen to get into a scrimmage. The first thing you know he’ll forget himself, and he’ll try to blow ‘retreat’ on his carbine. You may lose one man If Hans puts his mouth to the wrong end of the barrel.” Then they said a few other things to Hans. He was told to l>e sure not to get his canlecn mixed up with his car tridge belt and to make sure that he took note of the landmarks on the w a y put so he could get back to camp In a hurry if he happened to hear an Indian shoot off his gun. Hans took all this well enough, because the thought of actually going out on a scout was suf ficient to knock nil other things out of his head, resentment along with them. They had left the camp far behind them. Sergeant Nelson, who was an old and tried campaigner, turned to his men and said, “ We are getting near the place where we may expect to see something.” Then he spoke seriously to Hans. “ Mueller,” he said, “ you’re not half as bad perhaps as the troop makes out, but I tell you honestly that I’m kind of afraid of you when it comes to a pinch. Do the best you can and don't run. As a matter of fact, I think that Jim Crosby was pipe dream ing when be brought the rumor of reds in this vicinity into camp, but you may have a chance to see trouble and If you do please stick.” ♦ > V ❖ * ♦2> ❖ % t v ❖ *♦ . ♦ > * ♦T* ♦ 7 * ♦ 7 * ♦ 7 . ♦ 7 * T h e Housewife’s * I e I $ ❖ * F r i e n d ♦r« COi-xAiCHT ♦ 7 . ♦ 7 . ♦ 7 . is ever that ingredient of so many dishes— flour.

Address this ways JULIUS HINB8 ft BON, Bsltimoif, Md, Dept, That was a pretty tough thing to have to say to a soldier with Uncle Sam's uniform on his back. Stick! Mueller’s face went almost white un der realization that the true signifi cance of that admonition was that the sergeant had a pretty strong fear In bis heart that this trumpet tooter was a coward. Stick! He would show them If he was only given a chance. Sergeant Peter Nelson was an old and tried campaigner, Indeed, but that day he made a mistake. He led his three men straight into an ambush. There were a score of painted Nez Perces straight across their track. The Indians bad very little cover, but they used it so artfully that the old soldier sergeant had actually thought that the bit of embankment and the few scat tered bowlders did not offer cover enough to conceal a jack rabbit. The first intimation of the Indians’ presence was a volley. Sergeant Nel son went to the ground with a Wound In his side. One of the privates, shot through the shoulder and leg, fell with him. The two men crawled behind a couple of rocks and secured temporary shelter. At the savage volley Hans Mueller’s heart went to liis throat. With the other private, who, like Hans, was unhit, lie fell back about forty yards and went behind an ade quate cover. There for five minutes they exchanged shots with the reds, who, in accordance with Indian cus tom, would not charge across the open, but depended rather upon being able to pick off the soldiers and then to go for ward without danger and take the scalps. Ilans Mueller found that he could use his carbine. Ills heart went down out of his throat. He looked around him and saw that there was some chance of holding the savages off fur hours. Out beyond he saw his two stricken comrades. They were not dead. He knew that because he saw them move and occasionally weakly raise themselves and send a shot in the direction of the red foe. Hans said to himself, “Those men must be brought back here.” Then he hnndet) his carbine to his comrade and with It Ills belt and ammunition. “ You may need these,” he said, “ if those fel lows hit me.” Then he jumped over the rock in front of him, and with his long, shambling, ungainly stride he made for the side of Sergeant Nelson. The Indians pumped at him. The balls whizzed by his head, cut Ills clothes in three places and spat spitefully into the dust at his feet. Telling Nelson to grab his carbine, Mueller raised the sergeant In bis arms and made back for cover, his track all the way marked out for him by the shots of the sav ages. He dropped the sergeant under the shadow of the rock and then stood on his feet. “ Where you going, Mueller?” said Sergeant Nelson feebly. “ I’m going after Dodds.” said Muel ler, and he cleared the little rock to the front once more. “ God bless you, Mueller,” was what he heard above the cracking of the ri fles to his front. He reached the side of the wounded Dodds, raised him and started back with him across the strip of hell. Twice he staggered as volleys rang out. but he reached the side of his comrades and placed Dodds between Nelson and the unwounded trooper. Then Hans Mueller fell dead. Relief came to the three surviving cavalrymen. The two wounded lived. In the little cemetery at a post in the far northwest there is a headstone which is inscribed thus: “ Hans Mueller, Trumpeter and Sol dier. His Courage Was Bullet Proof.” —Chicago Record-Herald. Pear Blight and Bees . Recent investigations show that pear blight does not travel on the wind, but that It is carried by insects from one blighted tree to another. The remedy is to keep the blight out so that the bees and other insects may find no source from which to get the spores to carry to other trees in the Spring. It is as necessary to cut out all the blighted wood in the Fall as at any other time. Trees that have the blight so extensive ly that it has worked into the sap wood, and can thus live over the winter, would far better be ent down than to remain and serve as a source of contagion. Professor Craig, of Cornell University, believes that the germs of the disease are carried away by insects that visit the flowers, and that, if the blighted wood is cut out, it will remove the source of infection. Light Biscuit Delicious Cake Dainty Pastries Fine Puddings Flaky Crusts Trolley Railroads, A SCHEME FOR A ROAD FROM HORNELLS- VILL.E TO PENN YAN VIA HAMMOND- SPORT, PULTENEY, AND BKANCHPOKT. Railroad Time Tables . Otto C. Bnrgdorf and G. H. Ginther, representing New York capitalists, and Charles Armstead, of Hotnellsville, were in Hammondsport on Thursday, having driven from the latter city. They are in terested in a projected trolley line from Hotnellsville to Penn Yan, via the west shore of Lake Keuka. The gentlemen claim to be backed by plenty of capital, and if the business of the region will warrant, and property owners hold ont sufficient inducements in granting rights of way and other necessary concessions, the road may be built. The trio jour neyed from here to Penn Yan overland. There seems to be a perfect epidemic of trolley road projecting in this part of the State, and judging from experiences but tew of the numerous schemes will mater ialize at present, at least. It takes some thing besides hot air to build and main tain trolley roads. There seems to be a strong desire lor an electric road in the Lake Keuka region. Pulteney people, and, in fact, the property owners all along the line, talk it strong, and have never ceased to do so since the exciting agitation some years since. But this does not and will not build the road. The peo ple have grown very skeptical over these projects. The various attempts and fail ures to build the road from Savona to Penn Yan via Wayne, Bradford, and Ty rone, over the abandoned roadbed of the Corning & Sodus Bay road, and the more recent projects from Branchport to Pul teney, and from Penn Yan to Hammond sport, on the east shore of the lake, all tend to waken the faith of the most ar dent supporters of the schemes. How ever, when the proper people get hold of the project, and find there is money in it, the scheme may go through. Other wise it will not. We will have to wait.—• Hammondsport Herald .

It was early in the evening, and a blue heron came and sat within tempting gunshot. I knew It would spoil my chances at mink to shoot the bird, and I didn’t intend to do it; but, kidlilte, I raised the gun and took aim just to see how I could kill it if I would. I lower ed the gun and then raised it again. Every time I raised it I would touch the trigger gently. After awhile I touched it too hard, the gun went off, and I started toward the heron, which was wounded. “ I thought it would be a good scheme to catch the bird and started to do so, when Its bill shot out like a sledge ham mer and struck me between the eyes. When I came to my senses, it was dark, and It was several minutes longer be fore I could remember where I was or what had happened. A little harder and the bird would have killed me. I shudder even yet when I think what would have been the result if the bill lmd struck oue of my eyes. T a m e d H im . An American drummer, fresh from our direct methods of business, drop ped In on M, de Witte, the Russian minister of finance, one morning to get certain information necessary for the sale of his goods. The minister refused it. The young man persisted. The minister still refused. Then the young man made the eagle scream. “ You’ve the only man who can give me wlmt ! want,” he said. “ I’m not going back to toy folks and tell them that I couldn't do any business. I’ve got to know. I could get the same thing in two min utes in America, and I’m not going to leave the room until”— The minister pressed an electric but ton. In walked two guards. The min ister spoke to them In Russian, and di rectly the drummer found himself walking down the Nevsky Prospect with an uncongenial escort. As lie thought the matter over In jail he con cluded that his hand was not strong enough, as he put it, to bluff the whole Russian empire. Within an hour he was led back into the presence of l)c Witte, who told him that a decent apology would save further trouble. After the drummer made It De Witte gave him the in formation, with the reminder that it was not wise to be rude to ministers of state. T h e S p o iled C h ild . Once upon a time a young kingfisher went to the father bird and asked for bis fishing rod, that ho might catch some choice trout lie had seen in a nearby stream. “ No!” answered the stern parent. The young bird went his way and in an hour returned dripping wet, saying that he had tried to catch he fish without a pole and had fallen into the water. “There!” said the mother bird to the father. “I know you would spoil the child if you spared the rod.” Moral.—The mother can always find a way to place blame on the. fr.thr r, no matter what happens. 5* s.
