With grooming brakes and last rat

halt in the darkness of Colorado juno

opened slowly, and a Weary Willy of q
tramp slid in.
Gentlemen, beg your pardon" he
said, pulling from his head hat of
which little was left but the brim.
The men at the poker table looked up.
The tramp's coat was a disappointed
frock of the shabby genteel cut The
short skirts had fringe on them, and
the cloth was of the color known az

thing that he wore which didn't bear

Several TASKS were handed to him,
but no money. The train began to
move, and the tramp slid out to settle
himself on truck once more.
Ten miles out of Colorado junction,

ment In Modern Journalism.
In sense Julius Caesar was war
correspondent; only he did not send his
Commentaries piecemeal from the
'stheater Of war; hut indited them at
his leisure in the subsequent peace
time. The old Swedish Intelli-
gencer' of the Gustavus Adolphus
period was genuine war correspond
ence; published indeed tardily, conn
pared with our news of to-day, but
nevertheless fresh from the scene of
action, full of distinctiveness, quaint
and racy beyond compare. The first
modern war correspondent profession
ally commissioned and paid by news
paper was Mr.. G. i. Gruneisen, we'll
known literary man, only recently
dead, who was sent to Spain by the
Morning POST with the spanish
Legion which Sir de Lacy Evans
commanded in 1887 in the service Of
the queen OF Spain. But this new de-
parture was not followed up. and
no English paper was represented
in the great battles of the first and
second Punjab wars. When, at the
outset of the Crimean war, in the ear2f
summer of 1853, William Howard Res
sell presented himself TO old Sir George
Brown in the roadstead Of Malta, an

of the Times, and rendering an author

not be ignored, and all the world
knows how he became the pen Of the

abuses, deglect and Encouragement
contributed mainly to the rescue from
absolute determination OF the British
army wintering Ia misery on the sevas-

the lead given them by the Times, and

Tame Jnckdnws.

Mr.. Green, an English naturalist,
records a tale about pair of jackdaws
kept by him at his home in South
Devon years ago They had been taken
from the nest, and during the first
summer their wings were slightly
clipped Afterward their wings were
allowed to grow, and they lived at full
liberty in the garden They were per-
fectly tame, and would come at call
and feed out of the hand, and in the
morning knock at the windows to ask
for some breakfast. Regularly in the
spring they few away and joined their
wild companions, made their nests and
reared family. But when this was
over they came back to the garden
again, and were as tame as ever. But
the curious thing was that after one or
two seasons they brought another jack
daw with them, presumably the young
of one Of them, which was just as tame
as themselves, although nothing had
ever been done to tame it, so that It
was impossible to tell which were the
original favorites and which was the
new one Moreover, when after few
years one of these jackdsws was acci-
dentally killed, another was brought
by the other two Golden Days

flicker of hope had arisen when Con-

was larger, and the grim certainty that
that fatal rush would come and the
wish of all that it might come soon

quite clear moonlight now. The shots
of the enemy came faster, and had
closed in perceptibly in the last hour.
The men fred slowly, and the order
was given for each man to use his last
two cartridges on no account till the
end. They could not see the Indians,
but fred at the flashes. The faces of
the men were set and rather pale; one,

Suddenly the shots came faster. and
the flashes drew quite close, especially
on the side where the defense was
lowest.

some one.
In an instant there was a harsh, wild
yell of single voice from the savages,
and Immediately the cry was taken up
by the creatures hidden behind rock
and sage bush, till the whole canyon
seemed to be full of devils
Here they come, boys" shouted the
sergeant. He was an older man than
most of them, and his stern white face
looked steady and cool as he raised his
carbine for those last two shots.
But there was a pause among the
savages. Most Of the men thought it
was the stiffness that came before the
rush. In the lull in the firing the
voice Of the wounded man could be
heard.
''Harkl' he said. in a hoarse whis-

In the camp of the regiment the men
were sitting about the fires singing
and telling stories, while the officers
were gathered together smoking, and
occasionally wondering where that de-
tail of x troop could be. Still there
was no real anxiety, as no hostiles
were supposed to be in the neighbor-
hood. The prairie stretched away
lonely and white in the moonlight, and
the voices of the regimental singers
sounded sweet and plaintive on the
night air.
On sudden there was a shout from
the sentinels on the western side of the
camp, the singing stopped, and two or
three of the officers ran toward the
western outposts, while some confusion
arose in the camp. Soon there were
cries for the surgeon, and that officer,
who had been interrupted by the noise
at the height of one of his best stories,
grumblingly arose and walked over to
the spot where group of men had
gathered, bending forward to look at
something in the center of the crowd.
AS the surgeon approached he was sur
prised to see an unmistakable Indian
pony standing perfectly blown near
the knot of men, It's legs wide apart
and head down, while the steam rose
from its wet skin. Here's the doc
tor" said some one, and the surgeon
made his way into the center of the
group.
Connors was on the ground, his head
and shoulders supported by one of the
men. He was trying to say something,
but could hardly whisper.

Corporal Punishm Ont.

Some grown persons would seem to
think that there Is no true place for
chastisement in system Of education.
Such at all events is our impression of
those, and there are many parents
among them, who regard an ordinary
beating given in school as almost an in
dictable form of assault. People of this
kind have evidently forgotten the singu-
larities of their own wayward youth, or
perhaps their lives knew only genial
and untroubled springtime of good con-
duct. In neither case can their judg-
ment be relied upon to form rule Of
discipline for the guidance Of school
teachers. The bad boy will continue to
deserve and to repay with better be-
havior his needful thrashings, and even
the good boy will sometimes err and
will profit by corporal reproofs.
The truth about physical punishment,
we may take it, is that it is indispen-
sable-an evil perhaps, but necessary
one. 1t must be borne, but in order to
attain success with the least possible
amount of injurious friction it must also
be regulated. There must be no impul.
sive pulling about, no random strokes
with the hand or the ruler, no ear box
ing with its probable sequel-the rup-
tured tympanum. The head should
never be struck, not even slapped. We
may say the same Of the body but for
one most tender but safely padded
prominence which appears to mark the
naturally appointed seat of childish az
hiction.-London Lancet.

Money In Rabbits.

II am deeply interested in the exter-
mination OF rabbits in Australia and
New Zealand" said Charles w. Kent,
Of London.
"You would like some statistics9 To
commence with, on careful calculation
1t is now settled that two rabbits in ten
years will multiply to 70,0O0,0O0. That
is a moderate figure. Rabbits have par
ticular advantages for thriving in Aus
tralia, and have used those advantages
for forty years since they were intro.
duced. In New South Wales the gov.
eminent expended over "a 900, 900 from
1883 to 1890 endeavoring to exterminate
them. Besides that, greater sum has
been expended in private moneys. In
one year 25,2s0,000 skins had royalty
paid upon them.
Now, there is another side to this
question of determination, and that is
the rabbit killers and the rabbit skin
dealers interests. A killer gets two
cents a head royalty from the govern
ment for destroying the animals life.
He then sells the skin at from four to
six cents. On the meat at the canning
factories he averages from two to four
cents. 1t is nice, easy way of making
money. The skins are bale pressed and
exported to London. In that city there
is general auction sale Of skins every
six weeks. The sales average from 1900
to 1000 bales, and the average to bale
is 200 skins, San Francisco Chronicle.

Any woman who does not realize this

Pollteness Always PAYS.

This anecdote teaches in mirthful
guise lesson our boys and girls cannot
afford to leave unlearned, which is that
true politeness always pays. The story
states that an Irish officer in the midst
Of a hot battle happening to indulge in
the courtesy of q bow to some one on
the field, a cannon ball passed directly
over his head and took off that of the
soldier Immediately behind him. The
bow alone saved his life, which he had

soldier near him he observed, "You
see, my man, fellow never loses any
thing by politeness. "-Harper's Young

sausaxes without Bread crumb..

The sausages made in Sardinia from
pork or veal, and seasoned with spices
and little rum, have no bread in their
composition; nor indeed do the Italians
any more than the Germans seem to look
with eyes of appreciation ON bread
crumbs as an accompaniment to sausage
meat. To put too much bread into any
sausage and to sell it at the price that
would be charged for an equal quantity
of butchers meat, partakes considerably
of the nature VI fraud; but such fraud
might be obviated.
The even greater peril Of eating tainted
meat might be averted il housekeepers
would only encourage their cooks to
make larger use Of the sausage mincing
machine, which insures perfect cleanli-
ness, while it disperses the seasoning
equally, minces to any degree Of fine
ness and at the same time fills the skins
with sausage meat.-London Telegraph.

In springtime the female green turtle
seeks the shore Of barren island or the
bank Of lonely river to lay her eggs.
Being very shy, she makes landing AT
night cautiously and crawls to a point
above high water mark, where she digs
hole one or two feet deep with her
fippers. In this hole she lays from 100
to 200 eggs, arranging them very care
fully. Finally she scoops the loose sand
over the eggs, leveling and smoothing it
