Anecdotes of Charlie.

must tell you one anecdOte of our
friend Charlie which is perhaps the
most curious of any have to record.
There were two young boys, brothers,
in the house, and their mother.
Charles mistress was in the habit OF
calling them by name, Reginald and
Albert, using certain familiar con-
fractions when she did so. 1t was no
wonder that Charlie caught these up;
but what will be said of such an ap-
plication OF them as the following?
The bird, as with most parrots, was
not allowed water in his cage, SO
when thirsty he would call, in what
may be termed his own voice:
Reggie! Reggie-Reggie or Ber-
tiei Charlie wants some water!"
Charlie has a great fondness for the
paste of which pie crust is made, and
this being known he was often treat
ed to piece. He naturally looked
for this, and when forgotten he would
invite himself to have some in the
form of words which had doubtless
often been used by his mistress. He
would say:
Charlie, do you like paste? VIII
you have bit?' This would be said
in the voice of his mistress or her
daughter. He would then add, in
quite changed tone, "Oh rather"

CHAPTER III.

That afternoon / again found myself
in the Bischofsplatz. At Y one is
constantly finding ones self in the
Bischofsplatz. Nearly all the streets Of
the little capital give upon it; and the
cathedral Is there, and the Bishops pal
ace. and the Mormorhof, and the princi-
pal cafe; and it is there that the mill
tary band plays of a pleasant evening.
At one OF the open-air tables OF the
cafe was seltei, when a man passed
me, clad in the brown garb of Fran
ciscan monk. He had pointed black
beard, this monk, and pair of flashing
dark eyes, and, though he quickly drew
his head into his cowl at our conjunc-
ton, / had no difficulty whatever in
Identifying him with my queerly hirsuit
fiddler friend and prison mate, Sebastian
Roch.
Dear me! he has become monk. 1t

version" thought /, looking after him
with some wonder.
He marched straight across the
Bischofsplstz and into the courtyard of
the Mormorhof, where he was lost to my
view.

Fight with a Hurt Eagle.

John Heller, OF Cascade Valley,
Broome County, N. T., captured an
American eagle after hard efforts re-
Gently. He had set steel trap to
catch fox which had been stealing
his hens. On Monday morning he dis.
covered that the trap was missing.
Searching about for it he heard q
scream and connection among q flock
of crows in a grove near by.
In moment great American eagle
arose from the woods, dragging the
trap, which was fastened to one leg.
It at once few to high tree. Heller
discharged his shot gun at the bird
and it fell to the ground, wounded in
one wing.
Finding an old rope near by Heller
endeavored to bind tie eagle, but it
fought vigorously with beak and
talons, INJECTING severe wounds upon
the man. Seeing that he was beaten,
Heller ran to o neighboring field,
where man was OF work, and the two
re turned to the contest.
In Heller's absence the crows, see-
ing the eagle wounded and handi-
capped, had, attacked it, but it fought
agood fight and killed six and wounded
as many more of the crows.
The two men rallied to the attack,
and succeeded, by the aid of rope
and piece OF fence rail, in overpow-
ering the eagle and taking it to Heller's
home, where 1t is gradually recovering
from its injuries.
The bird measured seven feet from
tip to tip and stands five feet high. 1t
will be sent to Heller's brother, who
is President of New York club. It
has been committing many depreda-
tions in the vicinity, killing lambs,
fowl, etc. 1t is believed that the eagle
is the mate of the bird killed by Mrs.
John Hendrix, of Gulf Summit, N. Y,
in February.-New York Press.

Society of England to recognize the
conspicuous bravery displayed by one

States cruiser Olympia, Naval Cadet

vious occasions saved persons from
drowning, and late in July he added

gave him no more slack whatever. He
turned Immediately out the channel
to sea against the tide and continued
his rapid gait, jumping clear of tho
water every hundred feet or SO until
he had jumped nine times. He kept
up the pace until he had gone three
miles to sea and in very deep water.
II had no control of him whatever,
and he had taken on several occasions
during this outward sea movement
nearly all my line. at least $50 feet.
After this distance he turned to the
left and went at least two miles, until
he got back into five or six feet of
water. Then be turned back across
the channel and went on the oppoeite
side of it, probably mile and half.
After two hours and q half he went
back into water three and o half or
four feet deep, and I had some hope
of getting him into water where I
could gait him. But, without warn
ing, he turned to sea again and did not
stop until he had gone a mile and q

"After I had worn out Capt. Frank

into water about three and half

ART OF swEEprNe.

Sweeping is an art, but there are
lots OF honsekeepers who do not know
it, Or what use is it to sweep.lf you
leave the curtains dragging on the
floor, the upholstered furniture to
catch all the dust flying, and if you
dirt half the lint into the air, to set
tie on the oiled furniture and on the
walls? The proper and very easiest way
to sweep is to push all the movable fur
niture into the next room and cover
up with cloths kept for the purpose
the tables, couches and such articles
as cannot easily be moved. If you have
upholstered furniture that cannot DO
moved, whip it lightly, then wipe with
q clean piece of old silk and cover up.
Dust down the pictures and tables be-
fore sweeping to remove the old dust:
that may be there. Sweep slowly and
evenly, with long, smooth strokes.
after rolling and pinning up the cur.
teins and throwing the windows open.
Let the dust settle for half an hour.
Then, with clean soft cloth, so over
all the furniture in and out of the
room, shaking the dnst cloth often in
the open air to rid it OF gritty dust.
A room swept in this manner will re-
main clean for days, where hours will
suffice to litter up the room swept in
the common way. Washington Star.

Boy Saved Two women's Lives.

There are many more heroes than
those who fall in battle, or in shock of
arms do mighty deeds. The seven
teen-year-old boy La Porte, Of Al
bany, Oregon, who plunged into the
Columbia River and rescued two young
women from drowning. deserves to
rank with the heroes of the age. The
drowning girls grappled the boy when
he sprang, full clothed, into the swift
current to save them, and the trio
went to the bottom. After once ris-
ing. he realized that he could not swim
to shore with his clinging burdens,
and sank with them and crawled upon
the bottom to shallow water, from
from which he dragged himself and his
charges more dead than alive.
