DIN WANAMAKER.
The Red Cloud chief., 1895-06-07

The Dowager Empress OF China has
had a romantic history. She was an
extremely beautiful girl. the daughter
OF poor parents who lived in the sub
urbs OF Canton. When the family was
starving she. knowing her commercial
value, persuaded her parents to sell
her as a slave. She was purchased by
a renowned general, who, delighted
with her beauty, disposition and gen.
oral ~cleverness, adopted and educated
her as his daughter. When, later, the
general was summoned to Picking he
could think Of no finer gift to offer his
sovereign than his daughter. The en-
poror found her so charming that he
made her his wife. When her husband
died, in 1881, this slave-empress be-
came regent, the present emperor be-
ing only I years old. She found China
crippled by debt ami torn by internal
rebellions, yet five years ago. when she
handed over the governing power to
her son, peace and prosperity reigned
throughout the vast empire.

In the morning of March 20. 1915.
Napoleon, who had been banished by
the allies TO the Island OF Elba, upon
returning suddenly to Paris for mis-
reign OF 100 days was welcomed by
the ome of Paris with showers of
violets. In memory OF this attention
or the part Of the Parisians the En-
press Eugenia adopted the violet as the
Napoleonic emblem. Violets thus
became fashionable in the times OF the
second empire to such an e~xtravagani
eXent that they were eaten as salad

toner, invented the sugared violet as
a bonbon. But not only was the pur'
pie violet a la mode, but the pale vio-

Faithful Hos.

A Mr.. Wood. who lives near Hoods
Mill. Ga. owns a peculiar milch COW.
She is Just an ordinary black COW, but
is so much attached to Mr.. Woods chill
dren that she does not like to be sep
arated from them. II the children are
at home. the COW will stay in n pasture
with a fence three feet high; but. II the
children are taken away. she will
throw down ven high fences In order
to follow them. At different times.
when the COW would be in the pasture.
Mr.. Wood has slipped the children away
from home; but when she came home
and missed them she would go out and
track them. when she would follow
wherever they went. The COW knows
her business, and has an idea that II the
children are allowed out OF her sight

Few Women Saw the Joke.

1t is related Of an English Judge. now
gone over to the majority, that when
ever a woman appeared as a witness.
after asking her age, he used to go on.
with a malicious twinkle In his eye:
Now, mazda ne, you swear to speak the
truth and the whole truth. What is
your name? What is your profession? ?"
The stress laid on the word now"
and the tone in which It was uttered,
had the effect Of %convulsing the audi
tors. but 1t is on record that most OF
the witnesses never seemed to per-
ceive the little joke at their expense.

HOW A SWALLOW DIED.
Impaled In It's Flight on the sharp End

Impaled In Its Flight on the sharp End
of "a Weather Nanc.
This Is the story OF a curious mis-
hap which befell a swallow near Cold
Springs. n. Y. w. l.. Calver was stand
ing in a barnyard at that place. 1t was
a blustery day. and the weather-vane
on the barn was kept in constant mo-
ton by the shifting wind. Mr.. Calver
looked at the vane. He had looked at
1t twenty times before during the day.
but this time 1t IA different. Evil
IDENTIFY a bird had been perched upon 1t.
Mr.. Calver thought it the most IN
stable perch possible. But the bird re-
manned there all day. Towards even
ing the boys on the farm tried to dis
lodge the bird by throwing stones at
It. II did not go away. Next day it
was still there, and then an investiga-
ton was made. One of the boys
climbed out Of the cupola window, and,
looking up, found the bird was a swal-
low; that, far from being perched on
the vane, 1t was impaled. The vane
stuck right through the birds breast.
The swallow was, Of course. dead. Its
position made reaching II al impossi-
billty, so 1t had to be left where it was.
At last only the skeleton was left.
Finally even that fell to pieces. 1t is
thought that in one Of the sudden down
ward swoops which swallows make in
flight the bird did not see the rapidly
shifting vane, and that the latter
veered around Just in time to impale
the swallow through the breast.

In the Franco-Gcrman war OF 1870

After leaving Culebra VIC rapidly de.

Grande, and a half hour brings us to
Panama, writes a correspondent in the
Pittsburg Dispatch. We climbed the
hill OF Ancon. or. as II is sometimes
called. Golden Hill. and looked leagues
away across the waters OF the Pacific.

we climb up the rough and ragged hill
6OO feet or more. Half way we stop
for a few minutes rest. almost wish

catches the eye through the swaying
limbs is enchantingly beautiful. and
we push on along to the grander view
that awaits us at the top. We are paid

In reaching the last foot OF elevation

the Rockies in midsummer at the snow

morning brightness, and up to the
snow-capped peaks across the valleys
to the range beyond, e~ncompassing a

Is true, but not half so beautiful as the
panorama that stretches away before

shore on this side of Chinaland on

Bay OF Panama. green In the blue water
that surrounds them, ocean steamship

nodding in the gentle breeze. its cathe-
dral spires standing sentinel over the
rum shops. gambling dens and opium
joints of the heather Chinese. Still

THREE TOURIST
Have an Adventure with Brigands In
this i!Oiy Land.

Mrs. Lydia Mamcrcon Won Finkel-
stein Mountford, Il native OF Jerusa-
lem, who has been in P%ittsburg for q
week or two. tells this story about
some tourists who undertook to 90
from Jerusalem TO the Dead sea and
back without the customary escort.
There were three OF them. and they
thought their trusty seven-shootcrs
were ample protection against the
Bedouin plunderers who infcst the
country. The three made the journey
to the Dead sea in safety. took a bath
in its waters. had passed Jericho on
their way back to Jerusalem. and
We're congratulating themselves on the
way they had saved the expense Of an
escort. Their way lea through a
narrow detilc. Here they We're met
by Il mob Of wildly gesticulating
Arabs, who filed the roa1, and even
leaned owe the rocky walls which
formed the deiile, waving their curved
swords and making an awful chatter.
There WAS no time TO draw the
seven-shOoters. In a very few min
utes the travellers we're stripped OF
everything, not a stitch Of clothing
being left on their bodies, and the
robbers were sitting in circles quar-
reling vel the spoil. Some pity for
the unfortunate men finally entered
the bosoms of the Arabs, and their
hats and shoes were returned TO them.
In addition to these articles OF attire.
q liver pad was given back TO ons OF
the men, and when the three started
toward Jerusalem, avoiding the public
road az much as possible, the mar
with the liver pad Wa the best
dressed OF the three.
They made their way to a school
built in q cemetery just outside the
city. and whom the porter opened the
gate he nearly tainted. He explained
afterward that his first thought was
that three Of the occupants OF the
graves had returned TO the cemetery
after a stroll, but he couldn't imagine
where the corpses had secured their
hats.
