companion to an old lady at stated wages
but ran away from her place two davs

Her mistress procured her arrest under
the law that a servant must give due no.
Iice before leaving her situation, but the

told the lady that she could not compe,
the girl to return, and could only claim
damages in the civil court.

any harm. In the next room another
big dog, with litter of pups, met hel
gaze, while the third room was tenanted
by at least three dozen different varieties
of birds.
The kitchen of the old lady was given
over to cats, and the girls sleeping room
was converted into temporary hospital
for invalid members of the animal world
'"The old lady, said the girl, twas
very kind to me, but as my duties con.
sisted in washing all the dogs daily, and

Another rich and immaculate young

Rubber boots, an ulster and fur cap

The Great Petition.

John Milton once said, "Reformers
look very small in the eye of the world
but very large in the eye of God, thew
are so much nearer Him." So we be-
lieVe every effort of Gods people for
the amelioratiOn of the sins and suffer-
lngs of His Creatures, though small in
the estimate of the world, are great in
the mind of Him who alone can render
them victorious.
The great petition of the Worlds w.
=. I. o., is the plea of suffering. .sob.
Dlng womanhOOd for the protection Of
her home and the Salvation of her sons
and daughters; one heart crowdip0
upon another in their outsretch toward
God' until as one soul, leaving their all
with Him, they catch the sound of His
voice, saying, 80 woman, great is tbv
faith; be it unto thee even as thou
wilt"
This petition is in circulation the
wide world over, but we fear some
woman may have failed to add her
name, and will not be counted among
the pleading host, therefore, the Ma
tional W. c. T. U at its late meeting A.
Atlanta promised renewed effort that
none may be omitted. Great Britain
IS alive to the work, and Europe, Asia
ana Africa are pressing its claims.
While we dsire the name of every
woman, we also want the Endorsement
of men. Two copies of tho petition can
oe circulated simultaneously; one can
be signed by women as petitioners. the
other by men as indOrsers, always leav-
ing the back of the petition free for
ior pasting upon thin cloth, in prepa-
ration for its journey around the world

An Immense shnrL

While native fishermen were out fish
ing with nets at Waialua, on the other
side of Oahu, a monster shark got en-
tangled in one of the nets and was
hauled ashore ON the beach. Almost the
whole village went down and killed the
monster with axes. The shark meas
ured eighteen feet in length. When cut
up into pieces two good sized turtles,
one of which was still living, were found
in the stomach. The turtles measured
eighteen inches across. Other things of
a varied nature were also found in the
stomach. The jawbones We're brought

AN OLD TIME INDIAN TERROR.
An Aged Indian Who for Ten Years Ter
rOrized the SettIers Of Arizona

An Aged Indian Who for Ten Years Ter
rOrized the Settlers of Arizona.
They were talking about Indian out
breaks when one of the party, who had
been for many years a resident of Ari-
zona territory, remarked:
tell you, gentlemen, that this Indian
business is pretty serious. Why, down
in Arizona we lived for fifteen years in a
state of terror on account of a maraud-
ing band of Apaches that had things
pretty much their own way all this time,
In spite of all the government troous
could do to keep them in check.
call to mind particularly Old Vic
torlo. There was warrior for you. He
commanded band of some 200 bucks.
They were the Chiracahua Apaches. and
the murders, robberies and depredations
committed by that band during those
ten years in which they were on the
warpath are almost incredible.
Old Victorio was nearly 90 years of
age when the troubles began. He ruled
those redskins with a rod of iron in
spite of his years. And he was para
lyzed, too, completely paralyzed. He
was only able to use his left arm little.
just enough to lift a cigarette to his
mouth.
He was constantly in the saddle. and
had to be strapped on like a bale of
goods. His band had the finest ponies
to be found anywhere. They would
sometimes appear at one place, and in
less than twenty-four hours you would
hear OF them some place 100 miles dis
tant. All throughout southern Arizona
and northern Mexico old Victorio con-
tinued his raids until the settlers finally
gave up in despair. The government
troops appeared to be utterly powerless
in the matter,
Why, that band of redskins would
sometimes plunder a wagon train right
under the noses Of the troopers, and bv
the time the latter were mounted and
ready to start in pursuit they would be
out of sight. The next day, perhaps, the
wires would tell of some fresh deDreda-
tion committed by the same band in a
section of the country over 100 miles
away.
This old war dog, however, was
finally rounded up and shot. He died in
the saddle, fighting to the last, and his
band, what was left of it, dispersed. OF
course the settlers heard of it and were
delighted. Dismay followed, however.

Perfection of Railway Travel.

The Inauguration by the Baltimore
and Ohio, Philadelphia and Reading
and Jersey Central Railways, of the
famous "ROyal Blue Line" between
New York and Washington via Phil
adelphia and Baltimore was an event
of great Importance to travellers, and
it is gratifying to chronicle the great
success and popularity it has attained.
1t deserves it fully for it is emphatic
ally the pest line ever run between
the two cities. We say the best from
experience, for we have travelled over
1t and over its competing lines, and
when we say that over the B. & o.
route the highest realization and per
fection of railway travel is attained.
we are but giving it just praise. It's
trains are the safest, the finest and
fastest in America, and are run con
tlme." A vestibuled express, equipped
so completely and luxuriously as to
leave nothing to be desired, is run be-
tween New York and Washington in
each direction in exactly five hours,
IS not only the fastest time ever made
between the two cities, but is the fast
est train in America, and the splendid
road bed of the route permits the speed
with perfect safety. One can realize
what fast train this is when it is
considered that the distance from Jer-
sey City to Washington is almost ex-
actly the same as from Boston to New
York, whereas six hours is the fastest
time ever made between the latter
cities. The Royal Blue Lines train
from Jersey City to Washington, per
forms the journey in 4hours and forty
eight minutes. Notwithstanding the
superior equipment and train service
of this line, no extra fares are charged
on any of its trains. Palatial dav
coaches accompany all its trains, open
to the public at the regular fare, and
only the usual charges are made afor
accommodations In sleeping and par
lor cars.
There are six Royal Blue Line"
Trains each way, daily, between New
York and Washington. All of them
are composed exclusively of vesti.
buled cars, protected by Pullman's
anti-telescOping device, heated by
steam and lighted by the PiDtsch gas
system.
We heartily recommend this route to
all our readers, and advise them to
take it and none other, for it is not
only the best as regards speed, luxury
and equipment, but it exacts no extra
charges on any of its trains.-Ch Christian
Leader.

The Alaskan Turkish Rath.

The Alaskans, as a rule, are not par

them like occasionally to indulge in q

a circle four feet in diameter, being
thereupon drawn together and tied at q
point six feet from the bottom. A small
fire of wood, with stones, is lighted in
the middle, and the heat is kept in with
blankets spread over the framework

stones are well heated, the bather take:
