THE LITTLE BOYS PRAYER.

From the Philadelphia Times.
1t was his first visit to church and his
big brown eyes watched everything. He
saw the newcomers drop their heads on
the pew rails In front Of them as they
entered, and In a moment raise them
again. why do they put their heads
DOWN." he whispered to his older sister
who was with him.
"They say a little prayer" she whls-
pered back.
But they don't talk" argued brown,
eyes, not convinced.
mo, they htlnk." explained the an
swer; and 'Shall think little prayerY
was the next question.
"If you like" was the reply and the
big brown eyes were shut, the small
hands folded, and an earnest little fac
dropped against the rail.
In a moment or two the head was
raised, and the little fellow crept back
on the cushions. II tried to think, Now
lay me- " he whispered "but had to
talk 1t, cause the words wouldn't stay
down in my stummick. VIII God carer

moment they noted us streaming
round bend in the pike they leaped for
their horses. Ohe OF them, the tricky
Yank mentioned, stopped and picked
up a bee gum, one Of dozen standing
in the yard, and swung 1t up to his
shoulder. Then he climbed into the sad
die. Every jump of his horse jolted a
handful of indignant bees out of the hive,
and it looked as If they never budged,
but stood right still in the air wonder
ing what had happened And when we
got up to them the bees seemed to lay
their troubles to US, and pitched into
us like rabid dogs. Not one of our
cavalry ever got further than the first
bee. The whole outfit came streaming
back and lit into us ard our horses and
made 1t SO hot we had to turn and fly.
That's what they did; just simply stung
Yanks got away.
Now, l wasn't thinking of suggesting
bees to Lamont as an adjunct to our
military, but remembering my bee exper'
ience that day in North Georgia, l was
wondering why we shouldn't avail our
selves of the aid of animals more than
we do in battle. My idea was to organ
ize dog regiment, say of a thousand
dogs. I'd get good big stag hounds and
cross them with the shepherd dog to
get intelligence. I'd take 1000 of these
and put 100 men with them, giving each
man charge of ten dogs. I'd train them
TO know the enemy by dummies fixed up
in the hostile uniform. 1t could be done,
this last part, In a week. And I'd take
the dog regiment into the battle with me,
They'd be easy to feed and easy to
handle. I'd guarantee to whip anything
put infantry with my dog regiments
Cavalry wouldn't last moment with
EN-. They'd stampede the best cavalry
brigade that ever heard a bugie. or
course, these 100 men would nave to
be mounted. With the men In the sad
die and their half staghound half shep-
nerd dog cohorts theyd sweep a battle
field and stir up an enemy's line like
nest Of hornets. AS for artillery, these
dogs would overrun a battery like tor
rent"

TIME AND HANDLING SAVED.
An interesting Experiment in News
paper Office.

An unique and successful experiment
was made at Louisville yesterday when
the Associated Press telegraph news was
taken from the wire directly by a type
setting machine operator. The introduc-
tlon of the typewriter into the telegraph
business has been a means of greatly
facilitating the transmission of the press
service of the Associated Press, and s-V-
eral newspaper men of New York con-
nected with the Evening Post and AS
sociated Press, have been experimenting
of late with the view of doing away with
the typewriter, and substituting therefor
the linotype machine, thus setting the
news for the paper directly from the
wire.
Yesterday morning one of the Assocl-
ated Press loops was run into the Even
ing Post composing room, and b. G..
Boyle, managing editor of the Post, and
Richard Cogan, chief operator Of the AS
ISOLATED Press, who are both telegraph
and linotype operators, succeeded In re-
celving dispatches of the Associated
Press and putting them in type directly
from the wire.
The experiment shows that the tele-
graph can be worked successfully with
the typesetting machine, and a maximum
rate of speed Of fifty words minute at
tanned In an hours work an average
speed of thirty words a minute was main
tanned.

CHILL ON a GOLD BASIS

Seattle, June 4.-James j. Hill, president
of the Great Northern railway, who was
mere for six hours today, spent the most
of his time In conference with Woo Gen,
the Seattle manager OF the house of Wa
Cnong Company, Of Hong Kong. and
made searching inquiries respecting the
disposition OF the Chinese toward flour
as an article Of food. Woo Gen was OF
the opinion that II -four could be laid down
IN China for 62h cents per sack OF bO
pounds 1t could be sold at profit OF
10 cents by the deaiers and compete with
rice. He thought that II the great masses
OF China once began to use nour tney
would not 90 back 10 rice and If II eould
be placed within the reach Of the LABOR
lag classes a demand wouId be created
50 large that ali OF the nour mills on the
Pacific coast could not supply one-tentn
u the cans made on them.
Hills idea IS to carry flour 80 as to
give 1t tu the Chinese for IA cents per
pound and bring return cargoes OF rice
SO as to supply the markets here at IN
cents per pound.
