Kitty?' reused an idea in his head.
The McGheohans of Galway had noble
blood in their veins, and never desert
ed female in distress.
The fremen were busy saving Sulli-
vans stock. They did not heed the un-
couth figure, with bloody face and
torn clothes, Keeling through the back
door and up the narrow stairs.
Through sitting smoke and in water
and flame he CROPPED his way, while
Sullivan was out on the street kneel-
ing beside his wife, sprinkling her face
and chatting her wrists.
She opened her eyes and gasped:
kitty" Sullivan had thought that OF
course the child was saved with its
mother, but now the fear struck him
that this was not so. He ran from one
to another of the bystanders, frantic in
his search, but no one had seen the
little girl. AS in desperation he turned
to the burning rookery, a window
crashed out, and a burst of flame lighted
his road TO the little stairway. He
sprang toward it and nearly overturned
a staggering, ragged, blackened' and
begrimed man carrying in his arms a
bundle of bedclothes, from out OF
which a voice called to Jimmy:
"Papar"
He threw both arms round the pair,
and two soiled and bruised faces met
in an Irish embrace.

trated far, and where the red man still
reigns supreme. 1t is bounded on the
north by the Lizard and Mackenzie riv-
ers, on the cast by the Slave river, on
the south by the Peace river, and on
the west by the Rocky mountains. Mr..
Warburton Pike says it is now the
greatest beaver country in the world,
and that it also contains few bands
Of the so-called wood buffalo. "Some-
times they are heard of at Forts Smith
and Vermillion, sometimes at Fort st.
John, on the Peace river, and OCCASION
ally at Fort Nelson, on the Lizard;
but it is impossible to say any
thing about their numbers" At all
events, in February, 1900, Mr.. Pike
found eight buffaloes only four days
travel from Fort Resolution, on Great
Slave lake, and succeeded in killing
one. The Canadian authorities estimate
the total number in that region at three
hundred. - w. L. Hornaday, in st.

Oh, deari am nearly distracted to-day,
My family worries me so;
For sweet Angelina, my very best doll,
Has Quarreled with Benjamin Joe
Poor Margaret Mabel has torn her best dress
And Jane has cracked three OF her toes;
Jemima has hurt her right arm and been
scalped.
And Daisy has broken her nose

Just while she was learning to talk:
Dear Bessie has lost both shoes and her hat;
And SO can't take her to walk
The twins, Jack and Jill, have got such bad
cold,
And Elsie has measles and I
Have sent for the doctor, who hasn't como yet,
And fear they will certainly die.
My kitty has scratched; my mammals asleep
can't find my slate when look:
NY tea-sct is broken and sister is cross,
And Johnny has hidden my book.

Or tell me story, know,
And II he would ride me downstairs on his

Spurs for Gamecocks.

Steel heels or spurs for fighting
cocks to take the place of the natural
spur are made in twenty or more va
rieties in shape and length; they are
sold all over the world. In the United
States spurs of different styles are
used in different parts of the country;
longer spurs are used in the south than
in the east and north. The shortest
spurs are used in New York. The
standard length here is one and one
quarter inches; in all other parts of
the country the length is advanced.
A good set of steel heels costs ten dol
lars. The spur projects from one side
of ferrule or socket, which is like an
open thimble; leather band is at
tached to the base of the ferrule. The
natural spur is sawed off. and when
the steel spur is used the ferrule is
placed over the stump and the leather
band is wound round the cocks leg
and bound with Irvine; a pad or
cushion is placed within the rim Of the
ferrule to make it fit the stump of the
natural spur snugly and firmly. 1t is
said that if a well-bred gamecock,
which had been without food until it
was nearly starved, should then be
placed in the presence of another
gamecock and of food, it would fight
before it would eat; in other words,
that it would rather fight than eat

HOUSES IN TREES.
Travellers Have Seen Them In All Por-
lions of the Earth.

Travellers Have Seen Them In All Por-
lions OF the Earth.
Not many years ago the custom OF
building houses in the branches Of
trees was a common one among many
OF the savage peoples of the Pacific
islands, but latterly the custom has
become less general. Tree houses have
also been seen by travellers in three
districts Of Africa-by Nachtigal, near
the Shari river in the Soudan; by
Grecnfcll, on the Mobangi, and by
Wolf, on the Lomami.
The natives whom Nachtigal and
Greenfield saw in their little houses,
perched high up among the branches,
appear to use these elevated struc-
lures only as places of refuge in time
of danger; but DIR. Wolf, on the Lo-
mani, discovered tree-dwellers who
prefer to live always among the
branches, out of the easy reach of their
enemies and of the freshets that fire.
quently inundate their lands.
We have heard more of the tree
jewellers in Borneo than Of those in
any other part of the world. But
these buildings are also found in con-
siderable numbers in New Guinea and
the Solomon islands
Some tribes there have long been in
the habit of building houses fifty or
sixty feet from the ground. When their
lookouts report the approach OF the
enemy in their rowboats the danger
signal is communicated by peculiar
cry. Then the women and children
climb into the tree-houses by means OF
rough ladders, and watch, safe from
harm, the conflict which ensues.
Firearms are responsible for the
abandonment of these tree-houses for
ground dwellings. 1t Is against the
law to sell firearms to these Pacific saw
ages, but in one way or another they
are able to secure considerable guam
tity. When they are used the natives
find the perches Intellectual refugees
for the women and children against
guns and rifles. The poor creatures
prefer to take their chances of being
shot on the ground, and 80 the practice
of building tree-huts has come to be
abandoned. Golden Days.

close that the pelican grew quite tame
and few days ago it swan up to take
piece of bread from the hand of o
small boy on the bank.
The youngster had rubber band in
his hand. This he slipped over the big
birds bill.
The pelican at once felt something
decidedly unusual had happened. He
tried to shake the band off.
The band didn't move; then the bird
opened its bill, but as it gave its head
an impatient shake the muscles re-
laxed ''Snap," the rubber band got
in its work and the mandibles came to-
gethcr with noise like the slapping Of
Stats.
The big bird looked surprised. It's
round eyes were focused on its bill,
which it again essayed to open.
But the rubber band, being near the
end, had too great a leverage and the
mandibles could be separated but four
or five inches, only to audibly snap to-
gether.
A most amusing struggle ensued. The
bids bill opened, only to snap shut
Each time the pelican was more sur
prised than before.
1t tried to rub the band Off on its
back Then it stuck It's bill under
water and in the mud. Still the band
stuck.
Then the unhappy fowl made for the
land.
AS it walked, 1t lifted its big, broad
feet unnaturally. high, and after going
a short distance brought its right foot
down on its left. Then it couldn't pick
the left foot up.
The ungainly bird, with It's big bill
stuck heavenward, teetered for awhile
and then lost it's balance and fell over.
This released the foot, and the peli-
can started for the water, where it con-
tinued to struggle with the tenacious
band while the crowd fairly shrieked
its applause.-San Francisco Call.

Uu,un,incs Birds and Flowers.

1t has long been known that insects
assist plants by carrying the fertilizing
pollen from flower to flower, but the fact
has only recently been prominently
brought forward that humming birds
are just as effective distributors of pol
len as insects are. 1t has been shown
that these little birds, which are as
fond as bees of the honey of flowers,
carry the pollen grains in great guam
tity, not only on their feathers but on
their long bills also. Indeed, so well
suited is the humming bird to do this
work of distribution, without any in
tention of it's own, that the question
has been raised whether it may not be
the most beneficent of all the uncon,
scious friends that the flowers have in
the animal world.

TIE AMERICAN BISON.
Only Two Hundred Wild Buffalocs sim
Alive In the United States.

only TWO Hundred Wild Buffalocs Still
Alive In the United States.
In wild state, the American bison,
or buffalo, is practically, though not
quite wholly, extinct. At the present
moment there are about 200 wild buff
faloes alive and ON foot in the United
States. To obtain these high figures
we include the $50 individuals that the
white head hunters and red meat hunt
ers have thus far left alive in the yell
lowstone park, where the buffaloes are
fondly supposed to be protected from
slaughter. Besides these, there are
only two other lunches; one Of about 20
head in Lost park, COL, protected by
state laws, and another, con-
tanning between 80 and 40 head, in Val
river and the Rio Grande.
-Four years ago there were over 800
head in the Yellowstone park, thriving
and increasing quite satisfactorily.
Through them we fondly hoped the
species would yet be saved from abso-
Lutte extinction. But, alasl we were
reckoning without the poachers. Con.
gress provides pay for just one solitary
scout to guard in winter 1875 square
miles of rugged mountain country
against the horde of lawless white
men and Indians who surround the
park on all sides, eager to kill the last
buffalo! The poachers have been hard
at work, and as a result our park herd
has recently decreased more than one
half in number. 1t is brutal, burn
ing shame that formerly, through lack
of congressional law adequately to pun
ish such poachers as the wretch who
was actually caught red-handed in
January, 1894, while skinning seven
dead buffaloes! and now, through lack
of paltry s1,soO a year to pay four
more scouts, the park buffaloes are all
doomed to certain and speedy destruc-
ton.
Besides the places mentioned, there
is only one other spot in all North
America that contains wild buffaloes.
Immediately southwestward OF Great
Slave lake there lies a vast wilderness

LITTLE DANES AND MEN.

We all mist remember when
We were little danes and men;
When each sorrow tugged away with all its
might
At our little hearts and eyes,
Till the air was full of signs.
And tho brightest day was turned 70 darkest
night
How we d weep,
How we'd creep
To our little beds to sleep,
With wet lashes on flushed faces, even then,
Not a soul would ever know
Half our agony; and so
We should sympathize with little danes and
men.
We must all remember when
We were little danes and men,
When we meet the little ones from day to day;
kind word is just as cheap.
And it sinks to depths as deep
As the harsh one you were sending down their
way.
II you knew
How a few
Gracious acts and words from you
Were planted in their souls; to blossom when
Golden days of childhood seem
To be shadows of dream,
You would love and cherish little danes and

wrong, and that Sullivan was rejoicing
in his lapse from virtue. 10 maintain
his dignity he considered it necessary
to impress Sullivan with the fact that
the McGhoeghans were people to be
respected. SO he says:

The impact of beer glass over Sulli-

his length upon the floor. The shock
reused him, however, and in moment
the two were fighting like cats. The
crash of overturned tables and chairs
and of breaking glass would have caught

smoke, when spark fell on the table

traveller, who turned in an alarm. The
hook-and-ladder truck dashed up to
the place, and a fireman snatched the

business to do so, but even his speech
grew thick and he spilled his stock as
he served the two or three late GUS
toners that came in before he and No
Gheoghan were left to themselves.
Long after the usual time of closing,
Sullivan's wife, who lived over the sa-
loon, looked timidly in through the
back door and asked Jimmy when he
was coming home.
''Git to - out O. here wild We, and

swer. "That's the way l talk till my

McGheoghan recalled the time when

manner Jared the pleasant recollec-
ton; he did nc like to see his old
flame treated like that He. did not
relish free advice, either; and when
Sullivan spoke slightingly of Mrs. Nc
Ghoeghan 1t rolled him. Things were
rather hazy just then, but the notion
crept into his head that he was doing
