THE MAKING OF A HERO.
Implicit Obedience of Child Worth
Noting.

Implicit Obedience of a Child Worth
Noting.
A touching incident of obedience in a
child was observed at the Waldorf one
evening recently. 1t is customary at this
hotel for guests after dining to sit down
for a time in the main corridor of the
hotel which is comfortably fixed up with
easy chairs, where they can see what is
going on around them, and at the same
time engage in undisturbed conversation.
On this evening, among those seated in
the corridor was woman whose huS
band is we'll known in financial and po-
litical circles. Her son, a sturdy little
fellow, who is just beginning to toddle,
was playing around her chair.
AS she came out from the dining room
the mother picked up an orange and was
leisurely peeling it as she chatted with
friends. The little fellow had his eye
upon the orange in Il longing way, and it
was evident that his mouth was fairly
watering Tor taste, but he never said
word. His mother, as she tore off the
pieces of peel, would hand them to him
and tell him to put them in a waste-baskct
just across the hall. With unsteady baby
steps he made the trip several times I'M
til the orange was entirely peeled. Then
he came and stood by his mothers chair,
and with glistening eyes, waited for his
reward.
Slowly she tore off piece of the
orange and handed it to him. He clutched
it tightly in his chubby fingers and his
eyes expressed mute thanks. Just as he
was about to take a bite a CLEAN of mis-
chief came into the mothers eyes She
said: mo! No! Put it in the basket
The child slowly lowered the orange
A look Of puzzled wonder came over his
face. His eyes mutely expressed re-
proach. but not a word came from his
baby lips. Without hesitation he turned
and toddled over to the basket and
dropped the piece in. Then he stopped
over and looked longingly at it, and then
returned to- his mothers side. She caught
him up in her arms, and those with her
excused her enthusiasm when she said !:

Didn't Propose to be Devoured by PIE
beian Vermin.
They tell big stories about the feats
of Puget sound CLAIMS, but the one told
by Edward A. Chase of the North Pacific
Fish company is just tri1e ahead of
most of them.
Saturday morning when Mr.. Chase
went into his warehouse he heard a rustl-
ing in a box of CLAIMS. On investigating
he found that a rat had invaded the box,
and, just as he approached, the jaws of a
monster clam shut down on the rodents
tail, holding it fast. The rat squealed,
but the clam held it tight. Mr.. Chase,
anticipating the comment of friends who
would cry 'cam story" when ne would
relate the circumstane, called witnesses,
and they set about eXtricating the impris-
oned rat The result was that he rat
was released, but got away minus an inch
of tail.
An hour or so later Mr.. Chase returned
to the warehouse to find that another
daring rat had ventured into the box,
and in an attempt to pull some of the
CLANS out of the shell with his forefoot
had also been made prisoner by the clam
shutting down on the nember. For sew
eral hours the firmly attached pair were
exhibited, and then the rat was killed.

Buried Her Love.

Jeff Sterrett was a confederate soldier
who served as private, and who is one
of the two or three privates who sur
vlVed the war. He was somewhat senti-
mental, and naturally fell in love with
any good-looking girl he might see. He
fell in love with young woman of Muir
freesboro, and slipped off to see her at
every opportunity. One day his feelings
so overwhelmed him that he suddenly
found himself proposing marriage to her.

Tack Catcher for Tires.

An indianapolis genius has invented
a continuance which he calls a tack
catcher for bicycles. When pneumatic
tire picks up a tack the tack does not
penetrate very deeply at first, but is
forced further into the fabric with
every revolution of the wheel, until the
inner tube is punctured. The device of
the Indianapolis man to prevent this
consists of a curved, comb-like piece of
metal armed with pointed teeth and
extending backward from the forks of
the machine, close to the surface of the
tire. These teeth are intended to engage
with the tack as soon as it enters the
tire and extract If
