D:indruff la Eradicated.
Sealskin Is admired the world over for
its softness and glossiness; and yet the
human hair Is equally as soft and glossy
when healthy; and the radical cause of all
hair trouble Is dandruff, which Is caused
by a pestiferous parasite that saps the
vitality of the hair at Its root Newbro's
Hcrpicide Is the only preparation that Is
fatal to the dandruff germ. Without dan

The Ninth regiment had been In the
field ten weeks when It returned to
Fort Russell. It had lost thirty men,
traversed 000 miles of couutry and
been on short rations for days and
days. The bonds of discipline had re
laxed, and the rank and tile had
"slouched."
Awaiting Company A was young
Lieutenant White, fresh from West
Point and bringing with him his high
Ideas of discipline. He beheld the rag
ged men riding !u, and bis soul revolt
ed. There was less discipline than I
among a gang of cowboys. The first |
lieutenant was already away on leave,
and almost at once the captain of Com
pany A took his departure, and this I
left the cadet officer lu full command |
of the sixty men. When he talked dis
cipline to his fellow officers they ad
vised him to give tils meu a rest for a j
few days and not push them. He elect
ed to take his own way, however. The |
command had come riding In one morn
ing at 9 o'clock. Next morning at the I
same hour Company A was ordered
out to drill. The men had not yet
picked the sand burs out of their hair
and the cactus spikes out of their fin
gers, and great was their amazement
There was muttering and cursing, but
orders were obeyed. The officer went
among his men at quarters to criticise
rusty guns and sabers and personal
appearance, and In a day he had the
whole garrison wondering aud talking.
Company A was detailed to ride
down the trail for fifteen miles to
meet and escort a lot of army wagons
on their way up. It was not believed
that there was a hostile Indian within
fifty miles of the fort. Lieutenant
White was to go in command, and d
was a proud day for him. His troopers
were marshaled and remarshaled, and
he rode away only when they sat
their saddles as If on exhibition at a
riding school.
Five miles down the road the Salt I
Valley trail came In. The lieutenant |
was riding ahead of the command,
and without order from him the troop
ers turned off the main trail. As soon
as he discovered their action he rode
after them calling a halt. No halt w?s
made. He rode nearer and shouted
louder, but not a man halted or looked
back. The astounded officer then pushed
to the front and, with saber waving
above bis head, commanded a halt.
He and his horse were pushed aside by
the men, who came riding steadily on.
"Sergeant, what In does this
mean?" he exclaimed as he forgot dis
cipline for a moment and rode at Ser
geant Harris.
"Too much drill," quietly answered |
the sergeant.
"But this is mutiny? rank mutiny!
Halt! Halt! I command you to halt!
If you don't obey orders I will have
every man court martlaled!"
No man halted. The lieutenant sat
his horse and cursed and raged. As
he came up with the men he drew his
revolver and fired its coutents over
their bends ? 'vl shouted for a halt. No
attention I'ven him, but half a
moment ' 'to sergeant repeated tbe
words, unit ...c command halted.
"Meu. 1 want to know what tills I
means?" said the lieutenant in a h#arse|
voice and trembling down to his toes.
"You are off the road and you refuse!
to obey orders. Are you deserting in a |
body?"
"Too much drill!'' answered every
man In chorus. and then the sergeant
gave the word to move on.
The cadet officer could say nothing
In reply. He could not ride back to the
fort alone aud report that the company
bad mutinied, and he could not exact
obedience from the men where they
were. He followed after the troop In a
maze, not knowing wliat step to take.
The problem was solved for him. Sud
denly there was a rifle shot ahead,
quickly followed by three or four more,
and the bullets came singing over the
troopers' heads. There were Indians
ahead.
"Right and left wheel and take cov
er!" shouted the sergeant, and a mo
ment later the men were lined across
the road and had the shelter of rocks
and timber.
The young officer had chafed at the
thought that the campaign was over
and he had not had a hand In it. He
had been told that It might be two
years before he would have a chance
to see a hostile redskin, and yet here
they were before him and his company
had virtually mutinied and he had no
authority over them. He cursed and
shed tears as he thought of It, and It
was like blow upon blow as he heard
the sergeant's voice shouting:
"Extend right and left flanks! Fire
glow and don't waste your bullets!
Horse holders lead the horses to the
rear!"
The cadet dashed forward at the ser
geant His face was white, and his
voice would not come, and the grim old
noncommissioned officer pitied the boy
as he looked Into his eyes.
"Your chance, sir," he said.
"And the men won't obey me, and I
am disgraced!" whispered the lieuten
ant.
"Is It fight or drill?"
For a moment the cadet hesitated. It
was hard for him to surrender, but
maybe he bad been too hard on the
men. If the other officers were satis
fied with the discipline he ought to be.
"It's fight and fight like !" he
shouted.
"Take command then. Boys, the lieu
tenant is In command. Extend still
farther to the left and fight like !"
And they did and beat off a force of
200 Indians and returned to the fort
with glory and renown, and not for a
year did any man outside the company
know that military tactics bad been re
versed for once and an officer disci
plined instead of a private.
