PHILADELPHIA, November g.
A cablegram was received in this
city last evening from DR.. Do
MADISON Smith, dated at Alden,
bearing the one word Success
full" This news establishes the
safety ofthe plucky Philadelphia,
who for the past year and half
has been exploring the wilds of
Eastern Africa, and at the same
time puts an end to doubt as to
his safety, which has been felt by
those interested in his expedition
for the past few months.
DR.. Smith entered Africa on the
eastern coast at about the third
degree of north latitude a year
ago last June, to push across the
, country of the Gallreas end Mazai
to the two lakes which have been
recently discovered by another
expedition, and thence on to the
two Nyanzas, his object being to
carry out and complete the line
of exploration from the lakes to
the east coast, a distance of
several hundred miles. Dr..
Smith was accompanied by about
$50 Africans, and at first by an
English man who was subsequently
obliged to return to London. DR..
Smith sent back some fine speci-
mems of fora for the Geogra-
phical Society of London, and
some months later was reported
to DE pushing on by another
party whom he met.
( Aside from these evidences of
his safety there have been none
until the arrival of his cablegram
last evening. AS the region which
DR.. Smith has traversed is at the
present time represented by a
blank space ON the map of Africa,
the significance of the explorers
brief message will be realized.
He has undoubtedly made dis
coveries of value. DR.. Smith is
a graduate of the University of
Pennsylvania class of 1885.

In the direction of the herd that was
still out of sight. Evidently he wanted
to tell his four-footed companions tina
help was coming, as he soon returned
and for the rest Of the way went along
quietly in advance of the two men.
When the men reached the scene Of
the trouble they found that Betsy and
her calf had somehow got into bog
or quagmire and we're unable to extri-
cate themselves. The suppositlon was
that the inexperienced calf had stlayed
into the bog and Betsy, while trying
to help him out, had become involved.
A rope was needed to help the Great
ures to hard ground, and in order to
bring it as soon as possible the farmer
mounted to Jacks bare back and with
out bride or halter rode to the farm
house to procure it. Jack was high
spirited animal, and when under the
saddle used to prance and show off,
but on this occasion he realized that it
was no time for play, and went along
as demurely as possible. In due time
Betsy and ner calf were extricated
from their trouble, and the farmer
says that their equine friend danced a
jig for joy.

A Horse Who Was Guardian of a
Calf-A Little COwbOy-When 1t
Ratns-His AEgravnttng Nickname
-Silken Tents.

On farm in Vermont there are two
horses and a herd Of half a dozen
COWS. The animals run together in
the pasture and are on the most friend
~ terms. One horse named Jack has
a special affection for Betsy, a brin-
died COW, and the two almost always
Craze together. Last spring Betsy had
calf at her side, and Jack seemed to
regard the youngster as his own
special care. Hitherto Jack had been
very demure and dignifed horse, but
the sportive tendencies of the calf de-
veloped frisky mood on the part Of
the horse. Jack and the calf used to
romp and play together a good part Of
the time, the former being very care
full not to injure his young companion
Frequently Jack jumped over the back
Of the calf, and then allowed himself
to be chased by the little fellow, from
whom he fed as though for his safety.
One day when the herd was in dis
tant part of the pasture Jack suddenly
appeared at the farm house neighing
loudly and telling as plainly as he
could that he wanted human assist
ance. He would gallop furlously a
short distance in the direction Of the
pasture then wheel suddenly and gal
lop back to the house, throwing his
head high in the air and neighing with
all his migul. The farmer called one
Of his men and the twain started in the
direction indicated by the horse. When
Jack saw that his meaning was under

A Little CnwhOv

About fifty years ago a little boy
lived on the eastern side of the Con-
necticUt river in Massachusetts,, near
the New Hampshire line.
His father was one day stricken
down with apoplexy, and died sudden
~: His poor widow had nine children
to clothe and feed. 1t was a sad home,
with no father to get bread for so
many hungry mouths How was the
poor mother to keep her little flock to-
gether? She had brave heart and
struggled on as best she could.
The children were brave, too. One
of them named Dwight, when but six
years old, went off on his own accord
and agreed with a Mr.. Alexander to
drive four of five COWS to and from his
pasture on the mountain side, a dis
lance of more than half a mile, for a
cent day; ana did 1t all the season,
except some rainy days, when his
brother George, who was some five
years older, and worked out for 12z
cents day, drove them for him.
Dwight had no trouble about driving
the cows, though the farmers son,
who did the milking, used to shake
him up sometimes for routing him out
too early in the morning.
God took care of the mother and the
children; and the little cowboy who
was up and about his business in the
morning is known all over the world
as Dwight L. Moody, whose home and
seminary are near the place where he
was born, and near where he, bare
footed boy, drove the COWS for a cent
day so many years ago.

Silken Tents.

It had rained five days in a steady
drizzle, and out on the terrace the spi-
ders had crept into tiny holes In the
ground, where they sullenly remained
all day long, not even venturing forth
In quest Of a stray fly for a meal. At
dusk on the fifth day the rain ceased,
leaving the earth and atmosphere full
of moisture.
The wise little spiders came out then,
worked in the mystic silence of the
night wondrous spell, and 10, when
the morning sun began to dispel a
dense mist, there, in the grass, num-
berless white silken tents were spread
They had been pitched, one above each
hole in the ground, and 1t pleased me
to fancy that this was to protect the
occupants from the heavy deWs Of the
night, which now lay thickly upon the
webs, sparkling like cut gems in the
sunlight.
At first one received the impression
that some trespasser had scattered
sheets Of white paper over the terrace,
but 1t took only q second glance to re-
veal the truth about the silken webs
and the sagacity of the little creatures,
which had thus gone into camp during
the night-Nanci Lewis Greene.

His AEErava ting Nickname

The disadvantage of having a nick
name applied in early youth was never
better illustrated than by the expert
.ence of the boy who was known in the
White House six or seven years ago
as "Baby McKee, He is now q resi-
dent of New York city and is a stout
youngster of nearly twelve, with a
great fondness for base ball and other
athletic sports. His life would be as
pleasant as that of any other boy of
that age were it not for the infantile
nickname which clings to him like an
incubus. On all occasions his play
mates use it, and even his elders some
times hail him with the hated appella-
ton.
But by far the most CALLING part Of
the business is that the people all over
the country ignore the flight of time
and keep sending him gifts only fitted
for the nursery. Dolls, rattles rubber
rings and high chairs are among the
things that cause positive torture to
the grandson of the ex-president. and
it is limited that he handles them any
way but gently in his wrath. 1t is not
impossible that the name will cling to
him until manhood. and all because
newspaper writers chose to saddle him
with nickname.

MOTHERHOOD.

One morning fair, my baby
Climbedup into my bed,
And down upon my shoulder
She laid her little head.
She had her precious dolly
Clasped in a close embrace;
She told me how she loved it,
She kissed it's battered face
asked if she couldn't,
For only one short day,
Give me her precious dolly
To take with me away.
She slipped her arm around me,
And tears came to her eye.
She battled with them bravely
And sweetly said, 'I'u try!
s'But, mamma, while laE dolly
Is gone away from me,
Is there some other dolly
Whose mamma l can beg!
I wondered if as bravely
My sorrow could bear
If asked to give my darling
Back to my Fathers care.

A True Bear Story.

I felt jar, and, looking up; there at

it was empty, and I hadn't as much as

Weight in Foot Bill.

The greatest danger. apart from
those which arise from the abuses
that all lovers of this manly sport con-
denim, comes from inequality In weight
Of players. Men should never be al
lowed to play with boys, nor big boys
with little ones. The rules which re-
.oufre the average weight of teams to
be given in the challenge may often be
nrllitied by the challenging team hay
ing two or more members 50 much
heavier than the others that the aver
age does not fairly represent the play
ers. BY this means teams composed
mainly of young and slender boys
meet antagonists whose bulk alone
creates serious danger.

following to his paper: "A few
weeks ago I wrote in this COL
umn that more than ever the
direction of all state affairs lies in the.
hands of the Empress Maria Fedorouna"
We might have added, and the Finance
Minister Witte.' This latter fact from
a modern point of view, cannot be
looked upon as a disadvantage for Rus
STA, as White is a clever, determined
strong-willed man, who will go to any
limits II necessary. Such a man, who
is at the same time able to execute his
political plans, who does not go half
way or give up, has long been wanting
In Russia. But the striking retirement
OF the Gear and his young wife causes
much comment and a feeling of uncer-
tainty. They avoid all intercourse
with others, when possible, and even
avoid giving audiences to the foreign
ambassadors. The audience of the
french ambassador, M. Montebello, was
only accomplished by the appeal of the
minister Of finance to the DoWager
Empress. And then the continual
showing forward of the Dowager EN-
press on all occasions, and other things
add to the discomfort We hear even OF
attempts on the life of the Gear made
IN Peterhof palace, fortunately without
these reports is difficult to get at. The
officials deny that such things happen,
as matter of principle; at least one
never hears the full truth from them.
The foreign ministers resident here
know absolutely nothing of what goes
on behind the scenes. Those who do
happen to know dare not talk. Inves-
LEGATIONS also lead to naught.
"But in the last few weeks, certainly,
no attempt on the life Of the Gear has
been made. The retirement of the En-
peror is assured1y artificial
Recently, it is said diplomat went
to Peterhof and asked for an audience,
but he was told that the Gear and
Czarina were i'll and could not receive
him. Perhaps the Dowager Empress,
if the minister wished it, might be the
go-between. The ambassador did not
wish this and returned to St. Peters,
burg.
again the people are excited because
the coronation of the young pair has not
taken place. They do not like to have
it postponed until next May. Here
seem to be some of the reasons for the
state of affairs in Russia In Russia
the Gear and Czarina are not looked up
on as *full'until they have been crowned
in the Kremlin of Moscow. When this
is accomplished the petople Of Russia
will grow more quiet.
