First camo the hair-cutting and annual bath at the Waifs' mission at No. 44 State street. There were a number of barbers there, ench armed with a *‘mower.” Kach candidate as he eame up was held firmly with the discngaged nand, (for occasionally o lamb was led sowewhat unwillinely” to the slaughter) while 1n _the other the mower swept along like a besom of destruction until the hairs on ery head were as short and smooth as the lawn before the mansion of Prairio avenuo plutocrat. ‘This accom- plished the shorn were passed on to other strong hands which stripped them of their raiment and administered tao annual bath, There was somo kicking and squirming at this, for the procoss though thorough and ‘tual is not over gentle, but these were s quite aceustomed to much the _complaints were not numerous nor serious.

In the midst of ber wonderful race for commer- ciul precedence this chatity has grown so that every year botween the middle of Junc and the “middle of September, thousauds of babies, little children, shop and factory girls and poor sickly mothers, in tenements get a new leaso of Jife from a'sivht of clear skics aud green fields aud breathing country air. Tho most_extensive of these enterprises i the Daily News fresh air fund, now in its fifth year. This inciudes tho work at the sanitarium in Lincoln park and what is known s the ‘“country week plan. Tho sanitarium s a one-story frame structure with a pagoda-like roof and is situated on the lake shore of Lincoln park at the foot of Ful- ton avenue, The broad roof with its over- hanging caves covers a floor space of nearly cighteen thousand square fect over which swing little hammocks for babies, while the wide verandas and open air court at the lake extremity furnish accommodations for tho mothers and targer chilaren. The place is superiutended by a matron and a physician is stationed there who furnishes medical attend- anco to those who nced it free of charge. During the sixty-five days after June 50, 1580, when 1t was thrown open for the scason, 0 persons were received and carod for, in cluding infants, cmidren and mothers or other adult attendants. Tho babies are brought in the morning and remain all day and are provided with meals at an averago er capita of 10 cents. The expenses of this nstitution and the “‘country week” are kept up by individual contributions and by smaller donations dropped into tho fresh air gloves which are kept in public places through- out the city. The entire cost of the executive maiagement and office work are borne by the New Tho country week charity is conducted with the co-operation of peoplo in the smaller towns aud villages throughout the state.

SINTEEN THE LOST TROOPERS. Experience of Company K in the W ilds of North Wyoming. ““Tt was nothing unusual for an indi- vidual or a party of several men to get lost in the west when I was out there,” | snid a grzzled old campaigner not long | ngo to a writer in the Cincinnati Com- | mercial, “‘but what do you think of a whole company of soldiers being lost for | amonth?” I was with a compaay in 1878 that had just such an experience, surveying expedition, the geason before, had commenced to run a line for the government between Mon- tana and Wyoming territo from Iduho to the Black Hille, The plan was to cut down the Crow Indian tion. “It was decided to resume work in August 1878, Reeves and his men had left their mules and outfit at the Indinn agency in the Bl Hills, and they came to Fort Brown for the purpose of procuring a military escort. The Eighth cavalry was stationed at Fort Brown and company K, with Captain Russell in command, was detailed to conduet the expedition to the point where the outfit wus to be secured. [ had charge of a packing train, and was ordered to load my mules with the necessary provisions, blankets, ete., and to go along with the cavalry. *We started, and a twelve-mile march brought us to the Big Horn. The river was 50 swollen that we could not cross it. There is perpetual snow on portions of the Rocky mountains, and when it melts it swells the streams thereabouts to a tremendous height. We went into camp, and sent back to Fort Brown to have a boat built to ferry the men and supplies over the booming river. It took a week to tonstruct the boat, and Reeves had become so impatient that he would not wait for it. With his own men he man- aged to get across the river; and Cap- tain Russell was instructed to rejoin him at Stinking Water, which was about four days’ march from where w wore. But it took us so much longer than four days to get over the Big Horn that by the time we reached Stinking Water Reeves and his party had gone from there more than a week., He had all of the guides with him, and there we were without any means of telling where he had gone. “Captain Russell announced his inten- tion of trying to follow Reeves without guides. But the question was how to gev across the Stinking Water, for that river was on justas much of a boom as the Big Horn was, We had to gointo camp again until the river would recede,, or until we could find a ford. The soldiers did not care whether we found a ford or not. We had provisions to last us for some time, and it was more plet ant to lie there in camp with nothing to do but fish and hunt than to be on the march. All kinds of game abounded, and the streams were alive with trout. “We were then in the marshy country on the north forks of Stinking Water. After wo had been there about a week the soldiers did not want to stay any longer, so they began to search in earnest for a ford. When one was found we crossed the river without great diffi- culty tied the mulas iz one long string by fasten’ng the halter straps of the animals to the tails. Some of tho little mules had to swim, but mostof the ng could fine a footing. It was quite an undertaking for them though, since cach of them was weighed with about three hundred pounds. A shorttime before we crossed Stink- ing Water the r had been forded at the same point by a band of Indians, but in the opposite direction. When we got over we found about fifty puppy dogs on the shore. They had come that far with the Indians and being unable to swim ad been abandoned by their The shore was lined with the puppies and when we came up on them took to the bushe: I never heard h a howling in my life. Someo of us wrapped blankets around us und the little dogs, mistaking us for Indians, permitted us to approach near enough to them to feed them. “We had a compass with us, and we pt on_until we struck another of the North Forks of Stinking Water. Cross- ing that we followed a beo line by the compass up into the mountains until we found oursclves in the rango of Bix Snowy mountain. When we reached the summit we discovered that we could not get down the other side. We could see the valley below us, but it was as in- accessible to us as though it were in the moon. We then worked our way back and got into a park on the edge of o snowy range and into the marshy coun- try whore there were hundreds of elk. There wo floundered around, and at length went into camp. “Captain Russeil kept sending men out in all directions to hunt for a trail. The snow that had fallen since anybody had passed through there to makea trail had covered everything, and we were completely lost. Nobody was disturbed about it, though, but Captain Russoll. He grew provoked at the men, for he renlized the fact that every time he sent them out to look for a trail they made no effort to find one, but hunted elk in- stoud. At last he came to me and said: ““Phey tell me that you have been through ~here ‘before, and know this country.’ **[t'was here,” Tsaid, ‘that the Nez Porces joined Sitting Bull, after broal ng away from their reservation. You cun see the teepee poles they set around here. 1 was in here two yedrs ago.’ *“Phen why don’t you get us out of this?’ S 'Where do you wish to go, captain® “The government ordered me to go with Reeves,’ **Where is Reoves?

Bring the meat into camp and jerk it. Then lead us out of this place.’ [ took four soldiers and three of my packers, and started on an elk huni Woe traveled several milos, and set up a camp, The first time we went out shoot- ing we killed four elk. I told one of the soldiers to remain with the elk while the rest of us returned to camp and pre pared for the reception of the carcasses. “Tho camp was only a fow hundred yards from where we had killed the elk, and we had been there but a little while when we heard the soldier left the quar- ¢ shouting for help. Grasping our guns wo hurried to his assistance, dodging from rock to rock on the lookout for bears, as we had been told that theve were plenty of them in that locality. “When we arrived at the place from which the eries had come we found our l comrade lying senseless on the ground, “Reeves’ ck We don’t It is with his clothing torn into shreds.

He revived, and we then discovered that one of his arms was broken, and that he was suflering bod “The soldier said that, while he was busy working on the elk, he heard a bear appronch, He sprang on a reck und the bear sat down to look at him. It was an old she bhear with three cub: He was afraid to shoot at the bear for fear of only wounding her in which case he knew she would kill him as he wus not a bear fighter. He decided that he would go around the rock, and when he was out of the bear’s sight, make for the camp to proeure reinforcement “He did so, and when he arrived the other end of the roc Bear waiting for him.

Soon he looked up to sce if sho was gone, and she once more attacked him, this time tearing him al- most to piec He fainted, and the bear, satisfied that she had killed him, walked off, appurently in search of other beirs to come to the pienie. “After we had done what we could for the wounded soldier we left one of the comrades with him, and the rest of us started out to get the ellk we had killed. We proceeded with all the caution that we could, never leaving the shelter of one rock without first assuring ourselves that there were no bears in sight ahead, As we came up Lo o point where we could seo the dead elk, we noticed four enor- mous bears digging holes in the ground alongside of our game. They were get- ting ready to bury tho elk. They saw us us soon as we suw them. Instantly they stavted for us. Wo dropped our guns und mude for & tree apiece. Wo were not hunting:for bears, and we did not propose to gatinto any heuted argu- ment with that party. While [ was Ifrantically climbing a tree [ caught hold of a limb that was rotten, und it broke.
