their strength, their speed and
durance being remarkable. As far as
mounts for cavalrymen were con-
cerned, they proved dismal failures.
It was thought they would be the
very thing to chase Indians on, but
very few of our American soldiers
conk! stay on them when they got to
hitting it up on “high” and those that
were able to hang on got sea sick and
had to be helped down.
This all occurred just before the
civil war, under the administration of
Jefferson Davis, who was then secre-
tary of war in the U. S. cabinet, and
ft was this struggle that was mainly
responsible for the abandoning of
camels by the army. Whenever a mule
or hone team would come in sight
of a camel team the former would
immediately stampede and several
towns passed ordinances prohibiting
camels from entering the city limits.
These and other reasons for which
the camels were not responsible
caused them to be given up as beasts
of burden in Texas.
Col. Bonnell who lives at Camp
Verde tells a story of one of the army
camels that was a particularly large
and vicious animal. It would kill
horses or any other animals it would
get in a fight with. The soldiers de-
cided to get rid of this one as ebon
as possible and one day when they
found the camel grazing near a high
bluff they ganged up on him and
pushed him off. The coroner’s report
was “death by falling off a bluff.”

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. W. Straus
Buying a home on the installment
plan, when the terms and conditions
are equable, is an excellent way of
practicing thrift.
One concrete example may be given
which is typical of thousands of cases
throughout the United States. A
young married man who earned his
living by keeping books for a nuns
her of individuals and small business
concerns, wns making abont $250 a
month. This was just enough to meet
his current expenses. He did not find
himself able to lay by anything for
Ml emergency and the outlook of bet-
tering bis condition in life was dark.
A business man for wiiorii be did
work persuaded him to buy a home
on the installment plan. He was able
to find one for $13,000 that was suit-
ed to the needs of his family In the
city of 15,000 where ho resided. Ow-
ing to the fact that he waa a young
t of sound character and indus-
trious habits, he was able to secure
the necessary backing and purchase
his home on a contract calling for
monthly payments of $140.
This constituted quite a burden to
him, considering his income, but in
three yearn he has built up a substan-
tial equity in addition to which Ms
property has increased in value at
least $1,000. Meanwhile, his income
has increased about $150 a month.
More and more of his monthly pay-
ments are of coarse going into equi-
ty so that he is now rapidly getting
ahead, where three years ago he was,
financially speaking, in a treadmill.
It is perhaps not always possible
for a family without resources and
of limited income to make such a.i
arrangement, although one doubts if
any young man of good repute could
not find within his community those
who are willing to assist him in such
s worthy venture.
It is unfortunate that in the de-
