A IXT .THEY 'A3 D S O.M E Boaton Obacrvatlona on the Get-I'p of ' the London Honornbles. , Boston Transcript. . Our military visitors : really provided us with a passing color scheme, a revelation of what good taste in military tailoring can do to delight tha -civilian eye. Oar own troops are so soberly clad, their uniform is so buiJness-Mke in its avoidance -of ornamtatatlon. that our visitors fairly ahlne by comparison. The scarlet tunics and white helmets of the garrison band from Halifax made the first point of color in the visiting columns. Nut came the field battery of the llonorables, dismounted and wearing a uniform familiar to all who have seen British horse artillery on parade, but strikingly novel to untraveled Americans. Tha busby," as the: fur capjofjhe artillerist Is called, is not unlike that of the British hussars and yet not wholly like it. The dark blue uniforms ara those of. the artillery, and in this, instance were not only trimmed with . th (distinguishing .color of that branch of the service, but liberally nriched with yellow and gold. It was very ttarly in effect a British held or horse battary dismounted and in full parade attire. The infantry section bore a very close resemblance to a detachment of the British Orenadter Guard, the details that marked the difference being almost unnoticeable to the ordinary observer. The great towering bearskin cap is a survival of the day when it was believed that a peculiarly savage aspect in a soldier carried terror to his foe. For a modern campaign they are worse than valueless, but their picturesqueness Is not open to question. The bearskin was once worn by the grenadiers of France, those of Napoleon I'h Imperial Guard giving it is vogue. It was In the old days of our militia rather a favorite headdress. Our own First Itegiinent wore It some years after the civil war In conjuno- ' tion with a gray uniform trimmed with black. This was before our militia, and Indeed our regulars, were trimmed down for actual service. Our British militia visitors wear their finely cut and fitted uniforms well, even impressively, they having beeu formed after methods which have been abandoned In this country, where we seek eas?e rather than that formality which was once supposed to be the idral of soldierly bearing. Our uniforms, howevtr, are so plain, so unattractive, that it may be nuetUm-d whether we have not carried utilitarianism too far. A handsom uniform has its disciplinary value, as Napolwn realized and aid. and there are many orhcers of our own service who think that our soldiers would be all the better for a more "swagger" garb: that they would be proud of their dress If they had a drcs to be proud of. I'ndernrritera at Baltimore. BALTIMORE. Oct. 13. The fourteenth annual ctmvention of th National Association of Underwriters began here to-day and . Hill continue for three days.

An unfortunate was sent with a dispatch to one of the smaller outposts in tho far Northwest. It was toward spring, when the midday sun thaws the surface of the snow and the light frost hardens the melted crusts to a glace of Ice as dazzlingly bright as the blinding Hashes of sunlight from

polished steel. The thaw had crusted over the trail and the scout had to keep a sharp eye on the way not to lose the path altogether. Suddenly the hues magenta, rurple and black patches began to dance on the snow, alternating with whefis and rockets of cheese-colcred lire. Then the light went out altogether, though the man knew that It was broad day. He had become snow blind. The only thing was to give his horse the bit. The horse stcod stock still. By that time he knew that he had lost the trail altogether or the bronco would have followed any visible path. He wheeled the horse about. It still refused to go on and then the man inferred that the crust of ice had been so hard that the horse could not follow back the way it had come. That night the trooper slept under saddle blankets, with the faithful horse standing sentry. For five days tho policeman wandered blindly over the prairie, losing all count of time, eating snow to quench his thirst and peeping in the holes that the broncho had pawed through the ice crust to the under grass. The trooper was now too weak to mount and keep the saddle. As a lagt hope the thought struck him that If , he unsaddled his norre and turned It loose It might find its wav back to the fort and so notify his friends 'that he was lost. He did this, but the faithful creature refused to leave the man lying on the snow and stood over him In spJte of all his efforts to drive It off. On the sixth day the mail carrier found the pair. The trooper was severely frozen, but the rider and horse lived to see many another day's service. GENERAL INDIANA NEWS

Rheumatic Cure Costs Nothing if it Fails Any honest person who suffers from P.numatlm is welcome to thl.s offer. For years I searched everywhere to find a specific for Rheumatism. For nearly twenty years I worked to this end. At last. In Germany, my search was rewarded. I found a costly cht-mlcal that did not disappoint me as other Rheumatic prescriptions had disap pointed physicians everywhere. I do not mean that Dr. Snoop' Rheumatic Cure can turn bony Joints into flesh again. That is impossible. But it will drive from the blood the poison that causes pain and swelling, and then that is the end of Rheumatism. I know this so well that I will fur nish for a full month my Rheumatic Cure on trial. I cannot cure all cases within a. month. It would be unreasonable to expect that. But most cases will yield within thirty days. This trial treatment will convince you that Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure is a. power against Rheumatism a potent force against disease that is irresistible. My offer is made to convince you of my faith. My faith is but the outcome of ex perience of actual knowledge. I know what it can do. And I know this so well that 1 will furnish my remedy on trial. Simply write me a postal for my book on Rheumatism. I will then arrange with a druggist in your vicinity so that you can secure six bottles of Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure to make the test. You may take it a full month on trial. If it succeeds the coat to you ia $5.50. If it fails the loss is mine and m!n alone. It will be left entirely to you. I mean that exactly. If you say the trial Is not satisfactory 1 don't expect a penny from you. I have no samples. Any mere sample that can affect -chronic Rheumatism must b drugged to the verge of danger. I use no such drugs for it is dangerous to take them. You must get the disease out of the blood. Mv remedy does that even in the most diffi cult, obstinate cases. .It has cured the oldest cases that I ever met, ana in an or my ex perience, in all of my 2.ooo tests, I never found another remedy that would cure one chronic case in ten. Write me and I will send you the book. Try my remedy for a month, for it can't harm you anyway, ll- it iaus tne loss ia mine. Address Dr. Shoop, Box TOO, Racine, is. Mild cases not chronic are often cured by one oifrtwo bottles. At all druggists.
