He Wouldn't Let Go of the Calf.


From the Chicago Tribune.
In the quiet mist of three o'clock yesterday
morning Officer French ran across fine full
grown heifer calf near the corner OF Indiana
street and Center avenue, and as he hadn't
arrested anything for two or three weeks,
thought he'd take it to the station. 1t was
no trouble to get hold Of a long rope that
was drawn taut the copper and the heifer
eyed each other for a moment. French
threw his weight on the rope, but the calf
didn't move toward the station. Then the
policeman braced himself and began to sag on
the line. The calf made one bolt and fairly
dashed between the officers legs. He turned a
haIf-sldewise sOmersault that would have
broken an acrobat's heart, but he didn't light
on his feet. He struck on the broadest portion
OF his frame, with a heartfelt grunt.
But he wouldn't let go of the rope
The instant French regained his feet that calf
started up Center avenue toward Chicago ave-
ga and ngs trail Of
French has the reputation Of being good trav-
eler, and he covered both sides of Center avenue
But he wouldn't let 60 of the rope.
When the avenue was reached the calf paused
iong enough to allow the copper to send up one
wild yell for aid, and then boiling due east
tossed him fairly on his head in the gutter His
helmet was crushed, his club gone, his clothing
torn, and one sole of his shoe missing.
But he wouldn't let go of the rope

IN heading the former down the alley into the
patrol barn. Under the pole of the wagon boil
ted the calf, and French went over it all in a
heap.
But he wouldn't let go Of the rope
Inc operator closed the outside door to hide
the horrible sight, and when other policemen
stole into the barn to gather up the remnants
they found French, dishevelled and breathless,

What the Quarrel is About.

The Caroline Islands, for the possession of
which Germany and Spain may go to war; are
group of coral formations, several hundred in
number, in the Pacific ocean, 10 degrees north
of the equator and due east of the Philippines
They are divided into fOrty-eight groups, and
are known as the Pelew islands or Western Car
olines the Central Carolines and the Eastern
Carolnes or Mulgrave archipelago. The latter
group is subdivided into the Radick or Marshall
isles and the Gilbert isles. The most important
OF the CarOlinaS is zap, the chief of the central
group, and an idea of the amount of territory
covered may be estimated from the fact that
the Pelew division alone covers 346 square
miles. tbs estimated that the native population
is close upon 2OO, 900. These aborigines are a
fine race of the Polynesian family, possessed of
considerable intelligence and a certain amount
OF civilization. At zap there is q we'll
built native town, where the inhab-
generally agreeable, and bread fruit, cocoanut
sugar cane, oranges, and bananas are grown in
profusion. The lagOOns are filled with. turtle
and pearl oysters, and sandal-wOod can be pro-
cured in very large quantities from the forests
The earliest discoveries were English nayi-
gators, but Spaniards were the explorers who
first took deliberate possession of the archipelapO
In 1856. There has, however, never been any
recognized settlement, although merchants of
several nations have for many years had trading
treaties with the natives and small colonies on
the islands. From an archROlOgist's point of
view, the Carolines possess exceptional interest
the group, indicating that they were once
inhabited by an unknown race, who must have
possessed many OF the arts of the ancient
nations.

Cocaine is becoming one of the popular rem.

Chicago Letter in the New York Telegram
Mrs. Theodore Tilton, though not known to
more than fifty people in Chicago, is one of the
frequent visitors at the art galleries and picture
shops along Wabash avenue. She dresses
plainly, but very neatly. Her hair is iron gray;
there is much of the old fire and animation in
her eyes, but her voice is tremulous and there
is an ineffable sadness in her face. She is not
what would be called q brilliant conversation

of her voice is irresistibly fascinating, and
when she looks at you with her tinlid, honest
gray eyes you are involuntarily drawn to her.
She makes her home with her daughter Alice,

She has q face that one does not readily forget
pale, serious. sweet, delicate and, like her
