cut the dim light Of the stars and
spread gloomy shadows across the
road. The wolves mingled their
chorus with the dismal calls of the
night owls. The faithful horse which
had oeen true to every demand upon
him grew restless in prenlOnition of
danger and finally stopped stock still
in the road. An apparation appeared
in filmy STROUD that lighted the
canyon with an unearthly glow. The
horse and rider were stricken with a
fright that held them III their tracks.
The costly figure seemed to beckOn
him to follow. In a moment his
native courage returned and he fol.
lowed the spiritual guide which he he.
lieved had come to lead him past some
danger. The form glided noislessly on
and the horse and rider followed as II
led by an unseen hand. After an un.
accounted time there were smoldering
fires In the road. 1t was evidence Of
massacre. a trail II of immigrants had
been waylaid and murdered and their
wagons had been burned. The scout
followed the specter til 1t disappeared
in n clump Of BUSHES. After oppres-
sive silence came feeble NOAH

boy rushed forward. There lay a
seemingly lifeless form. He stopped
and raised the head and gazed into the
face of Il child that wore a deathly
blanch. a whisper to low for mortal
ears came from the pale lips and died
in lingering moan. 1t was the form
of a young girl. About her were fifty
dead bodies, the victims of Indian
fiends. The girl was helpless but
alive. The scout raised her upon the
horse and carried her till he reached
the soldiers in camp. AS evidence OF
the truthfulness of this story he
pointed to Mrs. Wilson who was the
girl SO miraculousIy rescued and the
spiritual guide must have been the
girls spirit mother.

A VISION.

A VISION.
As the OdOr of clover blossoms
Is waited over the sea,
The sailor stops in his nigltwatch
10 list to melody.
"ris voices Of children singing
The words Of a sweet refrain,
And he bares his head to listen
To an old familiar strain.
And 10! in the hush that follows
Come the words Of m earnest prayer
ANA he hears himself commended
To Gods eternal Gaze.
He sees his hOnle--a picture,
The meadow, void and beck;
And his ship lies far behind him
On the ocean like IA >lWck.
Glad eyes look up to greet him
And loving hands reacl, out
flushed is the swish of the waters
That lieth around about.
And mp from, the meadows blowing
Comes the breath of clover sweet,
And he hears the gold-eyed daisy
Rap loud on his hurrying feet.
AS up from his path the linnet
Flies high in the tree to sing
With dew from the clover blossoms
Like diamonds on his wing.
He .tarts--'tis a call to duty
And the vision fades from his mind
As the radience OF the morning
From the memory of the blind.

COFFIN TORPEDO.

New Continuance to Prevent the Robbing

The coffin torpedo is the latest device
to foil the grave robber.
OF late years the practice of despoil-

ceedingly dangerous undertaking toat-
tempt to force the casketopen. The lid

degree, releases the spring, causing 1t

MILITARY DRILL.
Declared by Authorities to Be an
Incomplete Exercise.
Boston Discusses tho Subject and OBJ
Jects to Its Introduction Into
the Public Schools of
That City.

The enthusiasts over military drill
for public school boys, and they are not
unknown in this community, get cold
douche in the report of a special commit
tee of the physical education society of
Boston. This committee, consisting of
Col. L. +. Edmande, DIR. Dudley A. Sar-
gent and Edward II. Hartwell, con-
dennis unreservedly any system of mill
tary drill in the schools-frst, because
for obvious reasons it cannot afford in
stitutions in the art of firing the rifle,
the most vital part of drill tactics, and,
second, because it affords very incom-
plete and unsatisfactory physical exer-
else for growing boys.
This judgment is fortified by the ex-
pert opinion of H. j. Koehler, master of
the sword at the West Point military
academy, who shows that the manual
or arms has long since been regarded
by military men as fatally lacking as a
physical exercise. he writes in these
emphatic words: 81 deny absolutely
that this drill contains one single feat
ure which cannot be duplicated, aye,
and discounted in every well-regulated
gymnasium in the country to-day" And
again. lie says: "a thorough physical
training develops all the necessary
physical qualities to the greatest de-
gree, and it does it without injury. If
we have athletes, we shall never be with
out soldiers"
These objections from the standpoints
of experts in physical culture and mill
tary training ought to be conclusive,
says the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
If we can give our boys strong, well-de-
veloped bodies they willsturn soldiers
quickly enough in any emergency, and
with the advantage of not having to rid
themselves OF a mock, incomplete drill
habit, when the time comes to practice
real war. With these arguments so
strong il is not necessary to urge the
more sentimental, yet not less forcible,
considerations as to the undesirability
of turning the minds of the youth to
thoughts of war more than can be
helped. Strong, lusty American boys are
belligerent enough without putting
muskets in their hands every day in the
school year.

to her ravages. He gathered up a pack
of 10 trained deer hounds, put them on
the track of the cougar and followed
them with his rifle. There was great
music when the dogs struck the trail,
and the woods resounded with their
cries when they had once opened up.
Away they went, like racers upon the
course, their noses close to the ground
and their agile bodies speeding along
in the ecstasy of the, chase.
The pack swept out of sight, and in a
few seconds the cry changed, and Ames
knew they had sighted the cougar.

fierce antagonist. Ames hurried for

cougar at bay, and savagely striking
her claws at the dogs, the beast sprang
into an adjoining tree. The hunters
rifle was leveled in an instant, and a
second after he pulled trigger the
gaunt, tawny body slid down the tree
trunk and back into the midst of the
waiting pack. Watching his oppor-
tunity, Ames sent bullet through the
cougars brain, and she fell dead.
An examination of the carcass showed
that the first shot had entered far along

SECURING ITS PREY.

feeding sacks by the hungry horscs.
An army of sparrows has been attracted
to the place, and each morning the
pavement is covered with the little fell
lows eating their breakfast. The rat,
having cultivated a taste for sparrows,
now has one for breakfast every day.
Hangers-on around the place have come
to watch the mancuvers of the rat
every morning. Soon after daylight the
sparrows make their appearance and
the rat slyly crawls out of its hole.
After looking around to see that the
coast is clear, the rat selects plump
sparrow, and, while the little bird is
busy filing its crop, the rat makes a
spring and secures its prey. The bird
is dragged under the sidewalk and moth
ing more is seen of the rat until the
following morning, when he comes out
for fresh victim. So expert has the
rat become that those who have seen
it say It can catch and kill bird as clev-
