why He Flaxged tho Ira In.

One of Michigan's railroad companies
decided TO establish a freight and
ticket Office at R., small flag station in
the southern part of the state, and the
grocery keeper Of this hamlet was
commissioned as agent The first
morning he awoke about Ave o'clock.
and, hearing the "limited" whistle in
the distance, hurriedly slid into his
trousers, and without stopping to finish
dressing, dashed down the stairs, flag
in hand, ran out upon the platform and
began wildly waving the flag across
track. The train stopped; the conduc-
tor alighted, and, seeing no one but the
agent In sight, turned TO him with the
inquiry:
where's your passengers9"
Haven't any," replied the agent, as
he made another grab TO keep his
trousers from dropping down.
"Then why in thunder did you stop

too late. turns TO fy. They easily
overtakc him, and dart down from
above, buffeting him savagely. The
intruder wastes no time In trying TO
give battle TO his small but dreadful as
sailants. and, with all the speed he can
command, hurries TO the nearest shell
ter. When he reaches the woods or
some thicket into which he plunges,
the victorious martins rise high in air,
and side by side, calling to each other
with notes Of triumph and congratula-
ton, wing their way back to the home
which they have so boldly defended:
"The purple martin is from seven
and one-half to eight inches In
length and measures sixteen inches
across its extended wings. The
color Of the male is deep
bluish-black with purplish reflections.
Tho female Is paler throughout, and
lacks the iridescence OF the male, it's

way In which tho old birds perform
this labor, and of the vast number of
insects-many Of them hurtful-which
are destroyed daily by pair of those
useful birds. He says:
1T may be interesting to many OF
your readers TO know moro about the

find out how often young martins are
fed by their parents, and ut what time

brating the maturity OF the young
birds of their neighbors, and make
these visitations not only to celebrate
an important anniversary in bird life.
but to encourage the young birds TO try
their pinions for the Journey of life.
Truly the great voice of nature pro-
claims the one main object of life is to
love and be loved. And the myriad
voices and scenes in nature are the
most blessed ministrations to the weary
and suffering and despairing hearts Of
men If they would only reach out and
touch the hem of her divine garment.
My martins have left me. They are
now on their journey TO the beautiful
land OF the orange and magnolia, and
perhaps ere this have reached their
southern home. Their fight marks
the waning OF summer and the advent
of harvest, and is president Of the fading
flower and falling leaf of autumn, and
the icy breath and winding SHOWS Of

For the benefit particularly of my
farmer friends append the following
description of the bird and its habits
from the Audubon Magazine:
THE purple martin is the largest of
the swallow tribe. He is also one Of
the most useful of this extremely scrv-
iceable group Of birds. Not only does
he destroy large numbers of hurtful
insects, but from his ready adaptabil.

How He eRngled.n

Zagonyi, the commander Of Gen
eral Fremont's body-guard during
the American Civil War, was
Hungarian refugee, and a man of
mostgallants spirit, not at ali the man
to overlook characterization. He
obeYed orders himself and exacted
obedience from others.
Just before the final charge at
Springfield, Mo-, Zagonyi directed
one of the buglers, a Frenchman, to
sound the signal. The bugler
seemingly paid no attention to the
order, but darted of with Lieuten-
ant Maythenyi. A few minutes
afterwards he was observed vigor-
ously pursuing the flying infantry.
When the line was formed in the
city square after the engagement,
Zagonyi noticed the bugler, and
approaching him said:
SIN the midst Of the battle you
disobeyed my order. You are UNI
worthy to be a member of the
guard. | dismiss you."
For reply the bugler held up his
bugle, and showed the mouthpiece
shot entirely away.
THE mouth was shot off" said
he. 81 could not bugle viz mon
bugle, and SO | bugle viz mon pis-
tol and sabre"
1t is unnecessary to add that the
sentence of dismissal was with
drawn.
