SHERIDAN AT WEST POINT.
A Disobedient student Who Was Given One
More Chnno".

1t is good to give me bad boys an
other chance, SAYS thu Youths COmpdn-
ion. Gen. Sheridan, when he was
West Point cadet, committed an Of
fence SO Aagrant against the discipline
of the school that he aflerward thought
himself that it ought not to have been
forgiven, On parade one day his SER
ge0nt, who was also a cadet, ordered
him to "dressN-that is, to stand in
line with the rest of the company.
1t was proper order, and young
Sheridan, who had very fiery temper,
took exception to the tone in which it
was given, and in fact was so incensed
at it that he rushed toward the SER
geant with his bayouet in his hand, in
tending to assault him. Fortunately,
before he could accomplish his purpose
his reason regaiued the upper hand aud
he returned to his plee.
The sergeant reported the ouense,
proceeding which inhamed Sheridau's
wrath anew, ard the next time he met
the sergeant he flew mt him with his
fists. They fought until they were sep

| But for this the services of Sheridan
would have been lost to the country
during the late war, when his peculiar
and very great talents were of inestima-
BILE value.
His experience at West Point did not
! lessen his sense of the necessity of dis
ciplue. He knew when to forgive Of
feeders and when to enforce military
law. In his Memoirs he tells us what
he did with four officers who displayed
criminal cowardice at the battle OF

cut from their coats every insignia OF
rank.
Then. after there had been read to
the command an order from army
headquarters dismissing the four from
the service the scene was brought to
a close by drumming the towards out
of camp. 1t was notifying spec

that division ever abandoned his col

In the case of Cadet Sheridan the
authorities at West Point were the
more inclined to leniency because they
saw in him the stuff out of which "a

THE QUEER CITY OF BOCOTA.
Ruled By the AUTHORIZATIONS Write for
Fun-PoIicemen Garry Lassoes.

Bogota is city of paradoxes, OF
great wealth, of great poverty, and a
mixture of customs that often puzzles
the stranger. The foremost men in the
! mercantile. political, and literary cir
Giles are from the old Castlian families,
but so changed by intermarriage that
all bloods run in their veins. In the
legislature on the bench, the forum.
and behind the bankers desk, you will
see the characteristics of all the races,
from the Anglo-Saxon 10 the African.
The ruling class is the politicians. but
it is more under the control of the mil
itary than is generally the case else
where.
Among the leading minds are highly
educated men who can converse fluent
ly in several languages, who can dem
onstrate the most difficult problem in
Astronomical and mathematical formu-
las. who can dictate learned philo-
sophical discourse, or dispute with any
body the influence of intricate history.
Their constitutions, laws, and govern
ment were modelled after those of the
United States; their financial policies
after England; their fashions, man
ners. and customs after the French;
their literature, verbosity, and suavity
after the Spaniards. Patriotic elo-
quence is their ideal, and well it is
realized in most of their orators.

business, and take this post in addition
as a recreation. Colombian authors
have furnished textbooks on political
economy. grammar, geography, 'math-
emetics, aud art. while philosophical,
historical. and biographical essays and
works of fiction and poetry furnish
much interesting reading. Some of
the textbooks are subsidized by the
Government, and all authors are pro-

The police do duty only at night
leaving the citizens to take care of
themselves by day. -Four policemen
are stationed at the four corners of
each plaza. Every fifteen minutes a
bell rings, which causes the guardians
of the city to blow their whistles and
change places. BY this system it is
impossible for them to sleep on their
beats. Besides short stout bayonet,
the policeman is often armed with a
lasso. and by the dextrous use of his
formidable weapon the proving thief
is easily pinioned when trying to es-
cape. Petty thefts are the chief crimes,
for the natives are neither quarrelsome
nor dishonest. Those who will steal

Russian Hebrews.

A curious and important appeal case
has just been decided by the court of

land, to his wife N her own right. but
the notary public refused to legalize it
on the ground that the wife, who was
also of the Jewish faith, had no right
to acquire landed property in Kieil,
whatever might be the right of her
husband.
The matter went to court and it was
decided that, although jew possessing
a diploma of either of the three learned
degrees had a right to reside in all
parts of the empire, and in virtue of
such right might acquire property in
the district of his residence, yet this
right to acquire property was the re-
suit OF an exception to the law granted

Bile to his wife or children.
This decision was upheld and con-
tirmed on appeal to the senate in St.
Petersburg. Possibly we shall soon
hear of the wives and families of Rus
sian Jews not having the right to re-
side with their husbands and fathers in
districts where the standard of their
education gives them the privilege to
live.

don't think the Turkish women are
really lazy or indolent, but for many
reasons they appear so. The hus band
considers his wife as an irrespon sible
being, prone to mischief (and he is
rarely mistakenly. and all he expects or
requires of her is to look pretty, be
cheerful and pleasant wien he is near,
and it would he mark of disrespect
for her to do anything in the way OF

women are early taught to be grace

Girls reach their majority at and

though not usually until Is. By that
time all the education they get is ac-
quired. Instead of being taught all
the abstruse sciences, she is taught all
the caressing words and gestures posi-
BILE TO imagine-how to walk, sit, look,
and speak so as to appear the most
seductive in the eyes of the husband
who gets her.
No Turkish wife of the better class is
ever expected to do any domestic labor
whatever. nor to make any of the
household linen. nor to make any gar
ments for herself or members of the
household, nor to sew any buttons on,
nor above ALL to make her husband

that almost every source of domestic

they do it as a labor of love, with

HER MERRY CHRISTMAS.

She wandered down Rivington street
crying softly. She was hungry, and it
seemed more pitiful for her to be hungry
on Christmas eve than it was for the
dozens of other children on Rivington
street to DO hungry. The year before she
had not only not been hungry, but she had
had q Christmas tree. The other children
had always been more or less hungry
and they had never had u Christmas tree.
She ahufiled her partly bare feet along
on the icy sidewalk. Snow had frozen
on what was left of the uppers of her
shoes Her feet were very cold, but she
did not mind the cold so much as she
did the hunger, nor the hunger so much
as the loneliness-the absence of the
Christmas tree and the daddy and mann
to jump her up and down and watch the
sparkle in her eyes as she saw their poor
little presents. They had not been n
very interesting daddy and man to other
people-daddy had been hod carrier
and mann used to take in washing. But
they had been all she had-everything!
A comfortably dressed stout woman
stopped her. The woman was probably
q shopkeepers wife, and had heart
more or less kind. She had intended to
give the girl something to eat and per-
haps some money; but she asked her if
she was good girl and gave her some
advice first of all. This made the girl
angry, and she answered her saucily.
The comfortable woman turned away
with comfortable expression of horror
on her face, and turned back into her
comfortable doorway. The girl passed
on, lonelier, hungrier, colder than be-
fore.
Midnight came. She had lost con-
sciousness OF details-her loneliness, her
hunger, her shivering had ceased to i'm
press her. She knew only that she was
miserable. But still she walked.
AT o'clock on CHI mas morning she
had to stop walking however. She was
on deserted East river dock, and she
laid down where an eddy of wind had
left a soft bed of snow-left it for he1
perhaps; and the wind gave its gift
without giving any advice first.
Her eyes closed. Her shivers ceased
She lay very still. She was asleep. She
did not move again until red ray from
the crisp winter sunrise touched hel
face.
Then she sat up and gazed solemn,
at the sunrise for moment. Slowly hel
expression became a happy one. Shc
really looked almost like a pretty child
She raised her arms and held them GU
toward the glow. Her lips moved.
Daddy! mani" she said.
Then she dropped back into the be-
given by the wind.
The girl had merry Christmas afte

Christmas Land.

When Christmas white comes in tho night
And lines the lawn, the glebe and glade,
Then DOING lads and lassies haste
To reach, In dreams, the land of tasts
Along the fields Of jujube paste,
Across the streams of lemonade
A moment seems day In dreamS
A minute for month ayails,
Until they reach that honeyed Land
Where sugar takes the place OF sand.
And gumdrop trees on every hand
Are plundered by vanilla gRles
The hills are made OF marmalade,
And jelled into dales and dells;
The peaks in taffy ridges rise
Where soda fountains 6zz to skies,
Where bushes bend with clIstard pies,
And trees hang low with caramels,
The streams that leap a-down the steep
Are melting creams OF frozen ice;
And these In rivuletS begun
With ''mallows" softened by the run
Into the sponge cake valleys sun,
With everything that's sweet and mica
Then DER the mead with eager greed
The youngsters fit like sunny CLEANS;
But ere a single sip they take
The jelly mountain starts 10 quake,
II topples tumbles; they awake,
And-that's the way it Is With dreams.
