"Will you give it to me if I'll adopt
it?" she asked.

An incident Of Military Life Among New
York's citizen Soldiers.

I An incident Of Military Life Among New
Yorl<'s citizen Soldiers.
Jordan Rogers, from Peekslxill, N
Y. was at the Great Northern re
Gently.
THE departure, he said, "of some
| Of your militia for the state encamp
nient reminds me of a little incident
| that occurred q night or two before
left Peekslxill, where the New York
boys were encamping.
ION this night the countersign was
gettysburg, and some Of the bat
terry boys, who were stationed out
ON the edge of the bluff, caught on.
Several of them bad some fun with
the guard after taps, and one Incl
dent in this connection has an espe-
cially humorous side to it. II seems
that no enlisted man is entitled to
the countersign. If it is absolutely
necessary for one to enter or leave
camp after taps he can go past the
guards only by means of pass which
has been approved at headquarters.
In the battery detail from Brooklyn
is private who knows how to make
the most of good thing
He is large, well built man,
with voice to match bis size. He
was one of several who got hold of
Gettysburg on the night referred
to. He has a coat with cape fash
ioned much like the regular officers
cape. Shortly after taps be put ON
his big cape coat, buttoned it closely
around his throat, gave his private's
cap the crush in the back which,
more than the braid, distinguishes
the officers cap after dark, assumed
majestic stride as. started for a
walk around the camp grounds. He
was soon challenged by sentry.
The conversation which ensued was
something like this.
+" Halt who goes therea'
"A friend
Advance, friend, and give the
countersign.'
1.-The battery private walked slow
ly forward and said Gettysburg in
his deepest bass.
1.-The sentinel began to say The
countersign is correct; advance,
friend, when the big private, assum-
ing an authoritative pose, said
sharply:
Don't you know how to hold
your piece when you are talking to
an army officer2'
1.-THE sentry was in the correct po-
sition, and began to stammer that he
thought he was holding it properly.
"'Don't let me see any more of this
carelessness, said the private more
sternly than before.
Point your bayonet down when
a regular army officer approaches.
Hold the piece in your left hand and
salute at the same time with your
right. Don't you know the new reg
ulations regarding the salute to reg
ular army officersl'
1.-The ratified sentry admitted that
that part Of his education had been
neglected, but added that he would
profit by the advice given him. The
big private left him standing there
with his bayonet pointed toward the
ground and his right hand in the air.
After instructing couple more
sentries in a brand new system OF
guard duties the private went to his
tent and laughed himself asleep. -

Tools OF the Ancients.

An investigator, who lived during
two years in tomb at Gizeh. has
collected evidence to prove that
tho tools used in working stone 1000
years ago had jeweled cutting edges,
like modern tools. He says that the
builders of the pyramids used solid
and tubular tools, straight and circu-
lar saws and many other tools sup
posed to be modern. In some speci-
mems of granite drill had sunk one
tenth Of an inch Mt each revolution,
indicating that the pressure was at
least two tons. Nothingis known of
the material of the tools. AS the
diamond was scarce then, 1t is prob
able that corundum was used. New

Harry Found the Experience Too DELI
IIcious TO Keep TO Himself.
An old east Boston bachelor lives
with his housekeeper in pretty little
house with an l. ON Maverick street.
One day during a hot spell he had
company, consisting of his married
sister and her two sons, who came to
spend the day.
They remained and spent the
night. Harry, the elder of the two
boys, was assigned to sleep with his
uncle, and Joe was to sleep with his
mother in the spare bed--that is. If
sleep were a possible thing.
All retired about half past 10
o'clock, and after tossing and foun-
dering around in his bed for an hour
or two, the old man, not being used
to a bedfellow, turned to his nephew
and said:
Harry. l can't stand this any
longer; let lls slip out on the roof of
the l.; it will be 30 nice and cool out
there"
Suiting the action to his words,
the old gentleman got up, and slip.
ping ON a pair of slippers stepped
through the open window to the
roof, his nephew following 3 suit.
When slightly cooled OFF Harry be-
gan to look around and sc on espied a
long wooden beam r1nni, G from the
end of the roof to the end of the
house.
"Im going TO set up there on that
beam, uncle" he cried.
When he had reached the desired
position he said to his uncle:
You're missing it, uncle; the
wind comes over the roof Of the
house in fine breeze, and you can't
feel the least bit of it down there"
The idea of cool breeze was too
much for the old man. and with
great difficulty, owing to his flowing
nightdress, he managed to get as
tride of the beam.
The wind did feel good, and the
old bachelor felt fully repaid for the
trouble Of climbing up.
Presently the sound Of some one
whispering was heard by the two on
the beam, and they strained their
ears.
"Oh, uncle, it is some women over
in that window" whispered Harry,
pointing to window in the back of
the house next to the l..
Tho old man looked and great
beads of perspiration stood out on
his body as he saw dimly outlined in
the black of the window no less than
three unmistalably feminine faces.
What could he do2 There they
stood, wildly gesticulating to each
other and evidently, from their ac-
tions, taking himself and Harry for
ghosts.
With hurried caution to hi,
nephew to be motionless the old gen.
tloman frightened his hold on the
beam and remained rigid, hoping
that something might induce the
watchers to leave the window. For
fully twenty minutes he remained
thus, and then one of the faces dis
appeared and in a few seconds re-
turned REINFORCED by several others.
At the sight of the additional faces
the old gentleman's fear overcame
his well formed plan Of sitting out
the patience of the women, and with
II can't stand this any longer" he
Topped off the beam to the roof and
then into the open window, followed
more nimbly by Harry.
He was almost ashamed to appear
on the street next day, and innumer-
able were the cautions Harry re-
ceived not to give the joke away,
but in "a moment of forgetfulness"
Harry told. Boston Herald.
