JAPANESE WAR STORY.
How . Brave Little Bugler Rallied His
Flying Comrades.

How . Brave Little Bugler Rallied His
Flying Comrades.
Every war brings out stories Of hero
ism that last long after many other in
cidents of the conflict are forgotten.
Boyish bravery in the heat and smoke
Of battle in particular is always told
Of, and seems to have more distinction
than that Of the older soldier who is
trained to do his duty under all circum-
stances, as the New York Times says.
Already from the Japan-C China war has
come story Of brave little bugler
that is likely to be told over and over
again. It was on one of the battle
fields, which have not been frequent in
this war, when the Japanese troops
were somewhat panic-stricken and
were retreating before the Chinese,
that the little bugler was mortally
wounded. Stricken and dying as he
was, the brave lad did not forget his
duty. He saw the brave troops flying,
and knew that the Chinese were gain
ing victory. With splendid courage
he raised himself, and grasping his
bugle sounded loud and stirring
charge" The troops heard and raj
lied under its message, charged valiant
ly in obedience to it, and the day was
theirs. But the little bugler had died
as they fought, and did not even know
that his effort had been successful.
His comrades knew, however, what he
had done, and they bore him from the
field in triumph, and already the "uta,"
a poem of honor, has been written in
his memory, while his mother has mr.
rayed herself in robes of state and
honor, and wound her hair with flow

TOMMY AND rooDLE.

The Reason Why Pug Dog Stole little
Girls Doll
"Tommy, where is Toodle?"
Tommy sat up on his hind legs and
hung his paws beseechingly. That was
his way of saying: II don't know
where my dear Toodle is myself, but II
you will find her for me will be very
much obliged"
Tommy is pug dog and Toodle is
his dolly. He loves her as much as If
he were little girl; its mistress has
never allowed other little boys to laugh
at him for playing with doll.
1t was his mistress who was asking
him about Toodle now; she was pref
ty young lady named Miss Fanny.
Tommy" she asked again, this time
very slowly and solemnly, where is
Toodle? Poor Toodle. Tommy doesn't
love Toodle. Where is Toodle?"
Tommy saw she was not going to
find his doll for him, SO he gave sharp

could be measured by his notes he
would weigh as much as an elephant;
but II his music could be measured he
wouldn't be bigger than humming-
bird. He is gentle except in his hind
legs, which sometimes have faculty Of
suddenly rearing up and kicking
things. This is his only means Of pro-
lection, but It is very effective and tell

where he will strike. It is always

little bark as he got down onto hi
four legs again and ran out OF tn,
house.
1t was IN the summer and he was liv
Ing in a cottage on quiet seashort
where the front doors stood open al
day long. Tommy knew all his neigh
bors and now he trotted over to the
next house. There there was a
little girl named Mabel. Mabel was
playing with her doll Amy She was
bigger and prettier than poor Toodle,
who was only rubber.
"Have you seen Toodle?' asked
Tommy, but Mabel had never learned
dog talk, and she only dropped her doll
and began to run away, crying: "Tom-
my's barking at me, I'm 'fraid."
Then Tommy did dreadful thing;
he picked up Amy in his teeth and
broke for home with her as hard as he
could go, and when Mabel saw that she
began to cry in good earnest.
Tommy went straight to Miss Fanny
and showed her the baby he had kid
naped, but he began to run again
whenever she tried to come near him:
MABEL soon followed, painting and sob
bing out: Hell kill herl o, Miss
Fanny, he'll kill her!"
Don't run after him, or ne will by
accident; he doesn't mean to hurt her."
said Miss Fanny, while Tommy walked
sedately out onto the back porch and
lay down with Amy still in his mouth.
"Do you know where Toodle is2r
said Miss Fanny, and Mabel under

Tommy had left Eer, You see Tommy
had remembered leaving her there
when he went over and asked Mabel
ab2gt her:
"You ~ get her." said Miss Fanny.
'Ill watch him while you are gone,
and he'll give up Amy when he sees his
own dollie."
And sure enough that was just what
he did; Amy was prettier, but poor
rubber Toodle with no clothes on was
the one he loved. He gave one look
when Miss Fanny showed him to her,
and then ran and grabbed her in his
mouth, and settled himself with her
Just as you see him on the picture.
Miss Fanny photographed him.

Ocean City, Md, Aug. 2O.-By the
overlooking Of small pleasure boat
an entire family was drowned and
two other families are in mourning. A
party of farmers from the neighbor-
hood OF Frankfort and Selbyville, Del,
had fish fry on Grey's Greek, a small
branch of the Isle of Wight Bay, with
bathing, fishing and other amusements.
William Hudson carried party of
nine out sailing, and as the boat. was
about to come back, the women Of the
party jumped, screaming, on the high
side, capsizing the little craft, which
was hardly large enough to carry five
persons Gr -, -e~-s. d. y.
The following seven were drowned:
William Stor, aged As years, Philadel-
phia; Laura Storr, his wife, aged IS,
and his daughters Ida, aged 16, and
May, aged II; Myrtle Stevens, aged Is,
daughter OF Joshua Stevens OF Sell
byville; Lima Hall, aged 10, and her
sister Lulu, aged II, daughters Of Eli
sha Hall Of near Frankford.
The capsizing occurred within 200
yards of the shore and in water seven
feet deep. Mr.. Storr had only one
hand and was blind in one eye, but he
was an expert swimmer. He succeed
ed in getting his two daughters on the
bottom Of the boat, and was getting
his wife, when the girls became scared
and slipped off of the boat and went
to their parents, and together the four
persisted. Hudson, who was sailing
the boat, got the two Hall girls Oh the
boat, and was trying to save Miss
. Stevens, when they slipped off and
were drowned before he could get to
them. Two other young ladies who
were In the boat were rescued by a
fisherman who put off from the shore
when the boat capsized.
The Storrs family lived in Philadel-
phia. Mr.. Storrs was married in this
neighborhood, and yearly brought his
family down for a two weeks outing.
They were very fond Of aquatic sports
and spent most Of their time boating
and fishing
Hudson, the skipper, protested to
Mr.. Storrs against the party crowding
into his small boat, which could only
carry comfortably four persons. Mr..
Storrs answered, "Oh, there is no dan
ger. The water is shallow; we are
close to shore, and the wind is light"
The bodies, when recovered by the
searching parties, presented horrible
sight, particularly that Of Mrs. Storrs.
Crabs had eaten the flesh from her
face, exposing her teeth and even the
roots of her tongue. The ends Of the
fingers Of all had been eaten away,
and their eyes had disappeared. Be-
fore entering the boat, Mrs. Storrs
took her husbands gold watch, over
500 in money, and their rings and
other valuables and tied them in her
apron. She was tightly clutching tho
bundle in death.

Where the Belmont People Are Get

New York, Aug. 1S-In view of the
discussion that is now going on in the
newspapers as to the government bond
syndicate's source of gold supply, it
might be we'll to state that since it's
formation the syndicate has endeav-
ored to secure for the United States
treasury the greater part Of the out
put of the gold mines throughout the
United States. They have not pEd a
direct premium for gold bars. They
have, as is usual with bullion dealers,
paid the expense of transferring the
gold from the smelters to the govern.
ment assay offices, and have some
times divided the expense with the
sellers of bullion, and have paid the
usual brokerage to bullion dealers for
securing the gold bars. BY. this means
it is believed the syndicate has Sc.
cured bars to the amount of $3,0OO,0OO
at no greater cost than the normal
difference in value between coin and
bullion. The greater part of this gold
has been represented by assay Offices
checks given in exchange for the bars,
and the checks are now being turned
into the treasury. the legal tenders be-
ing accepted by the syndicate in pay.
