HERO OF COAL CREEK.
Col. Anderson, the Man Who De-
fed Desperate Lindsay.
Ono of tho Most Thrilling Incidents In
the Tennessee Insurrection - Not
Afraid to Die for the Sake Of
His Country's Laws.

All who are at all familiar with the
| instruction of the coal miners in
Tennessee know the story of the
heroism of Col. Kellar Anderson, of the
Tennessee national guard, and his calm
determination to sacrifice his life rather
than betray his trust
He was in command Of the stockade
| at Coal Creek with $50 men. The tele-
graph lines had been cut and the little
garrison was Gu. off from all communi-
cation with tie outside world. Tho
first assault of the miners was made
after repeated warnings So severe
was the return fire that the miners re-
tired, though they carried several dead
and wounded with them. Soon another
attack followed. and there were casual
ties on both sides, but the result was
the same. Then there was third
attack, with like result. This time a
squad Of miners got separated from the
main body, and in a sortie from tho
fort they were captured. Then there
was a pause. A flag of truce was
raised and a parley ensued. The
miners said that they were ready for a
compromise and that if Col. Anderson
would bring the prisoners in person to
the railway station and speak to the
people everything might be amicably
adjusted. They promised him safe
escort. Then Col Anderson, who up
to this time had been the only man in
Tennessee in the field who had stood
up with uncompromisins faithfulness
and loyalty in favor of the law,
mounted the ramparts and told the

THE OSTRICH At HOME
How the Big Birds Live In Their Nativ
STATE

NO" the Big Birds Live In Their Nottv(
State.
The ostrich has many strange ways
and was particularly interested il
studying them. They go in tlocks Of
three Or four females and one male
about their nesting time, and for sever
al weeks before locating their nests tha
hens drop their eggs all about the pam
pas These are called haucho eggs
pronounced ''watcho''), and are much
more delicate in flavor than the eggz
taken from the nests. They have a
thinner shell, and when fresh laid are
of beautiful golden color. We cooked
them by roasting them before the fire.
We would first break a hole in the small
end of the egg large enough to insert a
teaspoon. The egg would be set up
among some hot ashes, pinch of salt
and pepper put into it, and the contents
kept stirred with stick, so that all
would be done alike. The flavor is ex-
celient, and one egg would satisfy a
very hungry man.
As soon as the ostriches decide upon a
sultab BILE place for nest the male bird
scratches away the grass and slightly
holiows the ground for space of two
feet in diameter. All the hens of the
flock lay in the same nest until there
are from twenty-five to thirty-five eggs
laid. The male bird then takes pos
session and sits on the eggs until
they are Matched. As soon as the
brood can leave the nest the old
fellow leads them away to feed on fiies
and insects, and everything is lovely
until he espies another male bird with
brood. AS soon as the old birds see
each other they make peculiar boom
ing sound and every little ostrich dis
appears in the grass The old ones then
approach each other and engage in
most deadly conflict They fight until
one or the other is killed or runs away.
The remaining one will then utter an
other peculiar sound and both broods
will spring up from their hiding places
and follow the victor, who struts off as
proud as a peacock. / have seen old

OF different size, two of which they

on the table to use in lieu of butter.

They are, therefore. one of the best
illustrations Of the culture OF every age

that musical instruments are fitted to

Would Abolish His Harer.

It is said that if the sultan OF Turkey
were allowed to consult his own tastes
he would only have one wife instead of
the three hundred he now maintains in
his harem. He does not dare to abolish
the institution, for he knows that the
day he saw the last Of the royal harem
would also see the last of his reign.
Each occupant Of the harem receives
the title of princess. It is the ambition
OF every Turkish officer to get his
daughter into it She is given large
dover, a staff Of ten servants and q car
riage and four. The maintenance of
the harem costs the country about sl5.-
100000 year. 1t is a perfect nest of
intrigue and scandal. Of envy, hatred,
malice and all uncharitableness

promise, but if you think 1 can help
you will go with you"
Then, unarmed, he left the stoclade
alone with the prisoners and accom-
panied the mob to the railway station.
There he began a speech to the people
and pleaded with them to respect the
law. The miners listened in silence
and were very quiet They were evil
IDENTIFY waiting for something to hap
pen. There was burly rufian ap-
preaching Col. Anderson from behind.
When he reached within arms length
of the soldier he showed the muzzle of a
revolver against Col. Anderson's temple
and handed him paper to sign order
ing the garrison to surrender. The
man who held the pistol was the notori-
GUS Bud Lindsay, who had already
killed eight or ten men. Col. Anderson
slowly turned, lifted his eyes to those
of the outlaw and dropped them in con-
tempt. "Shoot, you id coward!'' he
said. "Shoot.'
The rufian with the pistol and the
treacherous rioters who had with false
promises enticed the gallant soldier
from his command We're awed. The
pistol fell, and no shot was fred.
When Gen. Carnes had released Col.
Anderson and succored the gallant
soldiers of that brave officers command
he set about restoring order in Coal
Creek and the region thereabouts. He
began by arresting all the rioters he
could find. One of the first men
arrested was Bud Lindsay, the ruffianly
desperate who had held the pistol to
Col. Anderson's head. Lindsay was the
terror of the mining region, and his
arrest had a most excellent effect 1t
was soon made manifest that these
captured men would be treated as
criminals. and not as prisoners of war
Then there was CONSERVATION among
the miners, and great numbers of them
tried to escape out Of the state into
Kentucky and West Virginia. A large
number Of them seized an engine be-
longing to the East Tennessee, Virginia
d Georgia railroad and used it as a
means to get out of Tennessee. After
a week of turmoil and open rebellion in

tains law and order was restored.
