Twenty Eight Children in Twenty Four

Mrs. Francis S. Crosby, the wife of a
prominent American citizen residing in
Lima, Peru, died on the 10Th inst, at the
age Of thirty-eight years. The remarkable
feature of this sad occurrence Is that Mrs.
Crosby had given birth to twenty-eight chill
dren, fifteen of whom. the youngest babe of
one year, are left to mourn her loss. She
was Peruvian by birth. and was m arried
to DIR. Crosby at the age of fourteen years.
The almost incredible record of having given
birth to twenty eight children in twenty
four years is explained by the fact that
there were twins on several occasions, and
that once triplets made their appearance

He Is117 and Knew Robert Fulton.


There is yet living" says gentleman
from New York State, "a man who recalls
having seen Robert Fulton many times and
who knew the great inventor WELL" This
venerable survivor is Christian Cooper. If
he lives until next October he will celebrats
the completion of his one hundred and seven
teenth year. His advanced age is well
established. Ii the record of the Reformed
Church OF Germantown spoke truly Chris
tian Cooper was born on October %, 1774
Ills home for many years WAS in a house
built by Walter Livingston in Columbia
County. 1t will be remembered that Fulton
married Miss Livingston of Columbia
County. Hence the opportunities presented
to Cooper for seeing and knowing the in
ventor of the steamboat One can get
fairly adequate idea of the span of this
mans life upon rejecting that when Robert
Fulton died more than three quarters of q
century ago Christian Cooper had been

SHOOTING ANTELOPE.
Uncomfortable Position for Man to
in While Hunting.

IN " nile hunting.
The writer of an article in the Youths
Companion once got into hot corner while
hunting antelope. He was out with the
Seventh Cavalry, Clusters regiment, follow
ing a trail which took short cut across one
OF the big bends of the Missouri, the neck of
which was not more than mile wide
The scouts and Indians were skirtng the
river two miles 70 the right Suddenly sew
eral shots were heard in that direction, and
herd of 700 or 800 antelope was seen sweep
ing over the prairie. The cavalry with the
wagon train spanned the narrow neck from
side to side, so that the antelope found them
selves in cul de sac. from which there was
no escape.
The writer, being midway between the
column and the scouts, had full view of the
fleeing herd as they charged 200 or 800 yards
past him. Seeing several stragglers he dis
mounted, picketed his horse and killed two
or three.
He was beginning to enjoy this battue
shooting, when volley of bullets came
whizzing by. Instantly he dropped on the
ground. He was betweea two fres-the

scouts firing as they advanced from the
river and the soldiers pelting away as they
closed in from the neck The bullets, be-
fore reaching the spot where he was hug
cling the earth, struck the ground. and then
came tumbling and ricocheting over his
head, buzzing at times so close as to make
his position highly uncomfortable.
During the lulls in the firing he signaled
several times to the soldiers not to kill him.
But he had nerve" and kept on shooting,
firing forty shots and killing eight antelope.
On riding over the ground forty or fifty
dead antelope were found, enough to keep
the regiment in meat for several DAYS.

Interfere with the shipment of non-union

which two can play, and sailors arms are

And now, as to our being foreigners,
some of us are; but if we were willing TO
accept foreigners wages we would be very
decent fellows, and nothing would be said
about our nationality. 1t is very probable
that some of these patriotic gentlemen who
are against us are foreigners themselves.
One-fourth of the members of our union are
in the navy wearing Uncle Sans uniform,
and we are all, whether naturalized or ma
tive, American citizens"

PUCK MEYERS BEAR.

Another That Managed to Get the Best of
Vindictive 0uartermaster.
The story of the scattering of the ashes OF
Puck" Meyer from the top of the statue OF
Liberty recalls his pet bear, which some peo-
pie say lad such q fondness for liquor that
it died from delirium tremens. That is about
all there is to the story of Puck" Meyers
bear, but this recalls the history of bear
which belonged to Maine regiment in the
war.
The regiment was renowned for its fight
ing qualities. Indeed, it is said that the
men from the Pine Tree State who were In
that particular regiment could not get up
an appetite for breakfast unless there were
some early morning fighting. But what
ever the credit that was due and was given
to the regiment for its daring and vaiOr,
there was one faint on its reputation. 1t
was believed that there was sorry lot of
thieves in the regiment, and certain
Guartermaster hated every man in it from
the Colonel down to the smallest drummer
boy.
There was no doubt that good many ar
ticeS of luxury were stolen from the quar-
termaster, but it was no easy matter 10 detect
and punish the offender. Finally, in mo-
ment of desperation, the QuartermaSter
himself determined to play detectlve-to
catch and to hold the thief or thieves. He
found the knave at work one evening just
after dark, and there was deafenlng up
roar minute later, for, as an officer in the
TIL Maine, who afterward became gen.
eral. said: mo quartermaster who ever
lived could lick a Maine bear" The bear
gave the quartermaSLer a beautiful thrash
ing, and while the riot was in progress the
members of the til went to the stores on
the double-quick. They literally sacked
the wagons, and for week the regiment
which boosted pet bear lived On the fat
of the land."-N. Y. Tribune.
