Two Delaware boys have just re-
turned from an involuntary voyage to
Europe They went out fishing in the
Delaware river, and, a fog coming up
suddenly, could not find their way to
shore. After drifting for two hours
storm came up and the boat was driven
before it all night. When morning
came and the storm ended the boys
were out Of sight of land and with no
idea where they were. So they pru-
dently made no effort to go anywhere,
and finally were rewarded by the sight
Of steamer. As it came closer they
hoisted signals of distress, and were
picked up by vessel bouSl from Phil
adelphia to Hamburg. And the boys
we're carried to Hamburg, because the
steamship only sighted other vessels at
n distance. OF course the boys worked
their passage, and did so well that
when they returned to Philadelphia on
the same steamer the captain paid
them a small sum for their services.

CAT GOES TO CHURCH.
One of the Harmless Sources OF Pride In O
Michigan Village.

One of the Harmless Sources OF Pride I'm q
"a Michigan Village.
a Jack is the name of Maltese cat Of
the Sir Thomas variety, whose home is
{n the little town of Milan, a sort of
suburb to the city of Ann Arbor, Mich.
Jacks penchant is going to church
every Sunday. He is a good Presby
terian, and turns up his aristocratic
Thomas nose if any of the family tries
TO tempt him into any other than the
Presbyterian church.
" Jacks church-going proclivities date
rom a period about three years ago.
His mistress started to church one Sun
day snorning, and not until she was at
the door of the edifice did she observe
that Jack was trotting along at her
heels. 1t was late, and the organ was
pealing out the first hymn of the serv-
ice, so to turn back was out of the
question.
"Will you be good boy, Jack, if I
take you in church with me?" and
Jack nodded as though he understood.
He was picked up and concealed un-
der his mistress cloak and carried into
the church and deposited on a seat in
The pew. There he sat quietly and de-
murely throughout the entire service,
purring to himself in a perfectly hap
py and contented manner and as If he
enjoyed the novelty. Unlike many of
The deacons Jack did not once go to
eleep, either, but remained awake and
alert until the benediction was said.
The services over Jack was again
hidden away under his mistress
wrap and carried out of church and no
one knew that he had been present.
Long before the hour for going to
ehurch came around, the following
Sunday, Jack washed himself, licked
pis feet in more than usually careful
manner, and strutted around his mis-
fress, brushing against her skirts and
purring.
When she left the house to go to
church Jack followed at her heels, and,
as on the Sunday before, he was carried
to his place in the pew under the pro
tecting wing Of his mistress cape.

were fighting for their independence.
Here it was that Col. Bowie ended his
brave life, dying with his boots on and
fighting under the most terrible odds.
The story is this, and every American
child should know it by heart, that
he may tell it with pride when other
nations are talking of their great deeds:
One hundred and forty-fve men un-
der Capt. Travis, young man of ~,
were holding the town of San Antonio
against Gen. Santa Anna and 1000
men. They were the only defenders Of
the town and were ensconced in the
old mission Of the Alamo. Davy Crock
EFT was also with them and Col Bowie,
who was wounded and stretched out
on his cot. OF artillery they had only
fourteen pieces.
Santa Anna demanded surrender.
but the little garrison held out for ten
days, sl1irmishing secretly for food and
water. Every shot sent out of the mis-
sion house told, but not one of the Ala
mo heroes was hurt Patience and
strength, however, were being rapidly
exhausted. Some of the little band
were falling sick, others were desper-
ate. Reenforcements had been ap-
pealed for, but none had come. Col.
Lamein, with 800 men and four
pieces of artillery, had started in an
swer to the appeal, but had put in
somewhere for fresh water and food
supplies.
At last Capt. Smith joined the ex-
hausted band with thirty-two men.
Three days after Gen. Santa Anna
ceased the bombarding, and, taking
advantage of this, Capt. Travis called
his men into line and frankly owned
that there was no earthly hope for
them; that he had led them into this
thinking that reenforcements were on
the way. He does not utter one word
against Lamein for failing him; he
simply gives them their choice of
deaths. They can surrender and be
shot down, or be killed fighting out
their revenge. The captain drew a
line and said: Every man who is de-
termined to remain here and die with
me come TO me across that line" Every
soldier but one crossed at once. When
they finished Col. Bowie looked up,

How 1t Was Defended by = Handful Of
Heroic Texans.
1t is safe wager that nine out of
every eleven boys who are proficient in
the use Of bowie knife have not the
slightest idea where the instrument
got its name.
Col. Bowie of Texas fame gave the
knife its title.
And when one writes of the Texas
hero, one must needs think of the bat
tie of Alamo, that heroic fight of which
our American boys and girls seem to
think SO little, and half of them know
nothing whatever.
They read how the brave soldiers
fought and held the pass of Thermopy-
lac, but they seldom think of how a
mere handful of men defeated the
Alamo mission. How they dropped
fighting on their knees and then died
facing the foe.
If you should go to the historical city
Of San Antonio in Texas You will see
the old mission building standing with
battered, bullet-pierced walls, monu-
ment to the 172 heroes of '36. Behind

The Irrigation Movement.

The irrigation movement is accumu-

visible not alone in the west, but
throughout the country. The work of
organizing and agitating. through
national, interstate, state and county
associations, will go forward with re-
newed energy from now until the next
great international congress assemblies
at Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the
autumn of 1895. That this movement
is the hope of prosperity for millions
and that it will safeguard our insti-
tutions with a new bulwarl of liberty.

SHRlNKAGE BY STORAGE.
A Table BASED on the Experience of a

Number of Years.
The loss from the shrinkage of stored
grain and potatoes is figured out as
follows: This estimate is made on the
basis of interest at per cent. but
takes no account of the additional de-
probation due to depredations OF rats,
mice and smaller vermin:
Wheat from the time it is threshed
will shrink quarts to the bushel, or
per cent. in six months, in the most
favorable circum stances. Hence, it
follows that "a cents a bushel for
wheat when first threshed in August
is as good as ST. the following Feb
ruary. Corn shrinlSs much more from
the time it is husked; 100 bushels of
ears, as they come from the field in
November, will be reduced to not far
from So So that 40 cents bushel for
corn in the ear as 1t comes from the
field, is as good as so cents in March.
In the case of potatoes-taking those

but little doubt that between October
and June the loss to the owner who

Two Neglected Crops.

Peas and beans are two neglected
crops, as they are not grown on many
farms where they could be made
profitable. 1t is possible to grow two
crops-early peas, and beans later--on
the same ground. Beans are always
salable at good prices, and the straw
of both peas and beans may be util-
ized as bedding or for sheep to pick
over. The best early peas are grown
on land that is heavily manured in the
fall or in winter, so as to turn it
under during any warm spell when the
frost is out of the ground.

"Boys. don't leave me. Won't some of
you carry me across?" And the only
backward step they made was to go
over the line and carry the colonel to
the young captains side. The man
Rose, who was a coward, dropped over
the wall into ditch, and was verify
the only man who escaped to tell the
the tale. And then came the terrible
day.
Santa Anna brought all his forces to
bear on the fortress. The scaling
ladders were again and again raised,
but those who placed them were shot
down like grain. Four Thousand men
charging into l75 seemed easy enough
but it soon reduced the 1000. At last
numbers conquered, and the Mexicans
climbed over into the Alamo. The lit
tie band of defenders were trampled
on and beaten, but they dropped to
their knees and hacked and shot and
pierced until the pile of the dead was
awful. Col. Bowie, too weak to rise
from his cot, leans on his well elbow,
and marks his man every time he pulls
the trigger. Cut, bleeding, he contin-
ues to kill until the pistol drops
and the breath leaves his body Davy
Crockett, standing in corner, fights

backed against the wall, surrenders

The great battle is over. The Mexi-
cans have won. Out of the 172 Texans
are 172 dead. No Spartans were braver
or more tenacious, for they killed 522
of their enemies and wounded 500 more.
Texas, though, was finally freed, and

splendid piece of American daring, and
