ing and Fun Ensues

Wr. and Mrs. Seal Have a MisunderstanS-
ing and Fun Ensues.
There was trouble in the seal fam
lily at the Central park "Zoo' the
other day, says the New York
Times. Papa Seal cbastised the
baby seal for playing mischievous
pranks, whereat Mamma Seal waxed
exceedingly wroth and attacked her
lord and master with such fury that he
beat hasty retreat and clambered up
on the cement banks of the tank. There,
greatly to his surprise and sorrow, he
found more trouble. A surly pelican
was strutting along the edge of the
tank. and the presence of the bir wet
seal was to her unwelcome. She pecked
viciously at him with her sharp beak.
and with squeal of pain he slid back
into the water. .....
Mamma Seal. however, had, not got
over her anger, and she thrashed the
luclless head of the family with her
tail SO energetically that he again
sought the dry bank. .,,-.s-,. ,.s,,...
But the pelican was waiting for him,
and she proceeded to tap him on the
head with her knifelil1e beak. The
seal could not stand that, and once
more he rolled back, into the water.
Again and again he was driven out of
the tank by his spouse, and again and
again he was driven back by the peli-
can.
This domestic comedy lasted for fully
twenty minutes, and it was watched by
half a hundred persons. Finally, the
rate spouse took pity on her "worser"
half and permitted him to remain un-
molested in the tank. -

Tho United States Navy.

Only about twenty-five United States
ships, exclusive of the revenue cutters
and the training squadron, are now in
commission, but it is estimated that five
years hence there will be forty-nine
ships available for active service, and
that of these only three or four will be
OF the antiquatcd types that now make
up the bulk of the navy. Before thnt
time arrives, however, there will be a
vast change in the makeup of various
squadrons. The Asiatic squadron In
particular will have got itself new
outfit. Several of the vessels on that
station have been kept there for years
past chiefly because they were unfit for
the voyage home across. the Pacific.

SAN ANTONIO is making progress,
not marking time. All legitimate
business prosp ers, there is no drop in
values, the man with anything to sell
and who is ready to take fair price
does not lack o customer. building is
not rushing but hundreds of build
ings are going up, and contractors
have many large structures in pros
pect. The country adjacent to the
city is filling up, new farms are being
opened, and everything indicates
prosperity. The man who visits
Texas and does no t look over the adj
vantages promised through invest
ment in San Antonio properties makes
the mistake of a life time.

Special Dispatch to The Leader
OMAHA, Neb., March l3.-Reports
from Denver to the effect that a strike
was brewing among the operators on the
Union Pacific is not given any credence
here, either by the officials or operators.
Superintendent Korty is confined to his
home by illness, but the chief operator
denounced as false the statement that
men were being discharged because they
belonged to the Order of Railway Tele-
graphers, Several men had been dis
charged, but they had been proved to be
implicated in a move to make trouble and
had admitted the charge. The fact that
these men belonged to the Order of Tele-
graphers. he said, had nothing whatever
to do with their discharge.
An operator who has been in the ser.
vice of the company for several years was
spoken to in regard to the matter aud
ridiculed the idea of a strike as being
preposterous. He stated that there wert
about 500 operators on the system, about
200 Of whom joined the order when il
was started, but they had been rapidly
withdrawing.
