A Brave Little Sailor.

On a weather worn bark that is
moored to q dock in South Washing
ton there is q little chap with a re-
markable history. He is z years OLD,
his name is Garfield Slocum, and he
is the son Of Capt. Slocum, who has
just arrived here in asmall boat from
II 1000 mile sail from South America.
Garfield was born in 1881 in Hong
Kong, China, and was named in hon
or OF President Garfield by Col. Mos
by, consul ut that point. The boy
has Travelled not less than 275,OOG
miles, including two voyages around
the world, and has touched his foot
upon the soil Of the three Americas,
Europe. Asia, Africa and any quanti-
ty ofislnnds, and been clear around
Australia. His last trip on the Lib
ertad, u boat thirty-five feet long,
carrying only four tons. was 1000
miles long, n sea VOYAGE unparalleled
for n vessel Of tho size. His father,
mother and elder brother were his
companions. At times they were
1000 miles from land, and the frail
little craft met dangerous storms,
but came through safely. Garfield
is good snilor and has never shown
any fear ot the sea. In tact he does
not know anything but the sea, hav-
Ing never lived on land longer than
two weeks Mt q time. This Libertad
trip, however, did notstrike him very
favorably, ind the first night OH
board the small boat, when he knelt
ut his mothers knee to say his pray.

4sparrow's Unwilling Journey.

A we'll known caaApct2r on the
Northern Pacific was telling II qusou
story recently at the Merchants
about the compulsory immigration
of n hen swallow, nests, eggs and all
from St. Paul to Portland, Ore.
The swallows last spring evinced a
particular foadness tor the e4yes Of
sleeping car in the yards in st: Paul,
and several nests were built by the
busy little workers before the repairs
on the interior of the car were COM
pleted nndit was returned to the ser.
vice. When the car was pulled out
and ATTACHED to the west bound
train, there was u cOmmotion among
the tcathered community; but the
train pulled out just the same, and
every one supposed that the swallow
had concluded to build new homes
and start new families. When the
first stop was made, however, there
emerged from oas If the pests q bad
ly scared hen swallow, which flew
around and about the car until the
train started, when she darted into
the nest again, resuming her exhibit
tipp of bewilderment ut each stop
ing place. The bird Travelled all tile
way to Portland in the same way,
being kept watch on by tie sleeping
car porter, who. when ordered to N
SO by one of the road officials ut Port:
land, knocked down the nest, and tho
bird mother, bereft of the home and
prospective progeny she had SO zeal
ously guarded, flew wildly about for
y time and ut last flew away.

wrestlsa With a Bear.

Charles Ford, Of shandaken, Is
rated ms one of tho best wrestlera
among the Western Catskills. He
was on tramp when suddenly he
met IL bear. Man and animal both
stopped. and though Ford had am
pie time to pctreat, he staod his
ground. His only weapon was q re.
volver, and tnking deliberate aim he
fired. At that moment the bear
made a spring and the bullet simply
grazed his tough hide. Ford fired
again at the short range of five feet,
but failed to stop the brute.
Then FOrd's wrestling prowess
came in. Bruin gave him n hug, and
lie gave Bruin IL blow on the jaw
with his fist that caused him to let
up little on the hug. Then Ford
adroitly trippsl up his shaggy an.
tagonist, but the result was that
both took n ridiculous tumble down
the mountain. Ford says it was
all right when he was on top, but
when he was Underneath the breath
was nearly squeezed out Of his body.
A gully stopped their downward
career and landed Ford several yards
in advance of the bsnp. Rruin was
quickly on top Of his victim again,
however. but Ford, who had retained
his hold ON his revolver, stuck the
barrel against the bears mouth and
fired. The animal released its hold
and fell over dead. The carcass has
been sent to q relative of Ford's liv-
ing in Harlem.

tions should be discussions with illus.

have too much recitation. Three

Pupils Of the primary grade should
be given no study to do out ofschoo,,

They Finally Net,

Mrs. Daily came to Chicago for a
few days visit, and it was agreed
that she should stop at McCoy's ho-
tel. On her way to the city she, for
reasons best known to herself, decid-
ed to stop elsewhere, and says she
sent word back to her husband by
a friend that she would not stop
where she at first intended. The
friend did not reach st. Louis, and
as matter of course the husband
did not get the note.
He waited patiently Tor two or
three days without getting any an
swers to his letters, and then he be-
came SO anxious that he came up in
search of her.
Mr.. DAILY went to the Harrison
street police station and was given
two detectives to help him hunt for
his lost wife. They went to tho va
rious theatres, and from n point of
vantage searched the audience with
field glasses, but to no effect. Next
they took the restaurants, and ut
the Boston Oyster house the cashier
said he had seen a lady answering to
her description in the place on sever
al occasions.
This was yesterday morning, and,
as it was the first tidings Daily had
had of his wife, it gave him hope that
he would find her alive, if not in her
right mind.
The searching party then repaired
to the police station to hold a coun-
sci of war. Sergt. Gallagher advised
that q note be dropped in the post:
office. This was done. Mr., DAILY
told his wife to meet him at Cores
hotel il she should get the note. In
y few hours he went back to the post
office, and was informed that Mrs.
DAILY had been there and gone. The
now almost frantic husband rushea
like mad for the hotel, only to lind
that his wife had been there, and,
not finding him, had gone back to
the postottice. Without stopping a
minute he broke for the government
building agnin, but with the same
result rs before. Back he raced to
the hotel, and there found u note
from Mrs. Daily saying: "For Gods
sake stay at the hotel five minutes
SO can find YOU" He obeyed, and
in a very short time had his wife safe
in his arms.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

attack the butcler-bird. On the
contrary, they kept a good dis.

terrified by his sudden swoop. The
butcher-bird's aim was sure, for with
its left claw it had pinned to the
ground the fattest sparrow in the
little flock. Holding it there, the
butcher-bird dexterously seized the
sparrow's head in its other claw,
and then, with three or four quick
jerks, it tore the sparrox's hea4 eff

quick as flash, the murderous bird
thrust its beuk into the bleeding
