Miss Willard Appeals to womanhood
CHICAGO, Sept. ga telegram
from the London international
Woman's Temperance Union, says
Miss Frances E. Willard, sent out
the following call to 10000 local
unions in the United States:
Comrades: The cup OF wrath is
full In these two terrible years,
when the massacre of innocents has
been done under the eyes of paralyz-
ed rulers in Christian lands, we have
thought men alone could help. But
it is women who are dying two
deaths in the bloody East, and we,
their sisters, cannot longer wait.
You have nobly responded to my
earlier appeal, and in the name of
Christ and humanity, of the home
against the harem, 1 earnestly and
tenderly call upon you to organize
meetings in every locality, urging
our Government to cooperate with
England in putting stop to the
massacres and giving protection
henceforth to American homes.
"Let these meetings be addressed
by pastors, business men and the
most capable women. Let money
be raised by systematic visitation as
we'll as by collection and forwarded
to our national treasurer, Miss Helen
M. Barker, Woman's Temple, Chi
cago, and may God deal with us at
last "a we deal with our Armenian
brothers and sisters and their little
ones in this hour of their over
whelming calamity.

land, FRANCES E. WILLARD"

A Real Wolf Child.

Readers Of Kipling's Jungle
Books" will be interested to know
that "Mowgli," the wolf child, is no
impossible fancy, but that real
wolf child like "Mowgli" has been
discovered in India. He antedates
Kipling's wolf child, too, for this
real wolf boy was first discovered in
1897. Some natives pursuing a
stray wolf came upon a rock on
which they found curious looking
object, half human, half wolf, which
sprang into cave when they APP
preached. They captured it and
found it to be a wolf boy about 7
years old. 1t was named "Sanichar,"
and was sent to an orphanage to be
trained as human being, but with
little success. He still lives, and is
only half human. He eats his food
from the ground with his teeth,
runs chiefly on all fours, and will
wear little or no clothing. A doctor
who has seen him says that his head
is small, his brow uncommonly low
and contracted, while his eyes are
gray, restless and squirting. He
has small, wrinkled face, on which
are scars-(marks, doubtless, of Sc
we're bites received from animals
He stands about 5 feet 2 inches in
height, and is partially covered with
thick hair. He has never been able
to tell his story, so his birth and his
life among the wolves remain a
mystery.

How 1t Came to be Plac d at the En-
trar CO of Marlborough House.
In the entrance hall of Marlbor-
ough house, at the foot OF the Grim
SON. carpeted staircase, there is a
small marble slab. Upon it stands
Liliputian carafe OF cognac which
no member OF the royal household,
no visitor to the palace was ever
known to touch. The story is as fol-
lows: Many years ago Mayor from
the north had an appointment to
see the heir apparent on munich
pal matter. His royal highness was,
in fact, about to visit the provincial
capital whence the dignitary in
question hailed. The local magnate
was over anxious as to details of
routine The Prince considerably
consented to something like dress
rehearsal OF the ceremony in his Pail
Mall library. The day was oppres-
sively hot. The worthy magistrate
had never visited Marlborough
house before. He was not only
nervous, but also, like Falstaff, "fat
and short OF breath" However, he
came scatheless through the inter
view with the Prince, whose good
nature placed the visitor thoroughly
at his ease. Leaving the royal pres
ence he descended the stairs. When
he had reached the last step he was
seen to turn alarmipgly pale and ap-
parently gasped for breath. The
moment of.reaction, after the agita-
tion Of the long-expected visit, had
come. The poor man sank upon a
couch exhausted and became uncon-
scious Water was applied to his
temples, but that did not quite sue
coed. The Princes medical man

could not be found. A few minutes
passed before the restorative could
be obtained. At last it made its APP
pearance and was deity administer
ed, with the result that the fainting
magistrate rallied Immediately. He
was so overcome at the thought of
the trouble he had occasoned that
he was very nearly ready to go off
again. 1t was not until his host had
assured him there vas nothing to
regret that recovery became COM
plete to enable the too sensitive
man to drive off From that little
incident dates the presence OF the

Saddle river that had drowned the
dearest boy that ever lived. The
river was raging high on account of
spring rains, and Hugh had gone
down with his fathers man Barry to
see after some cattle. Barry says
the first thing he knew he heard
Hugh cry out: Wait minute,
Robin, wait; I'm coming, dear old
doggie, don't you see | am COM
ing?" and there was Robin tearing
up and down on the other side of the
rushing river Like flash Hugh
was off in that leaky old boat we
boys had brought up from the mill.
Barry says that he could not stop
Hugh, and neither of them could
swim. In the middle of the stream
the boat swirled and went under, the
current was 80 swift and strong.
The people down at the mill got
Hugh, but-he was drowned.
And Robin!- would you think that
grief could kill dog'-and if grief
didn't, then what did? He seemed
not to have been hurt in any way,
and he was not fat enough to have
been overfed, yet when they went to
take him away at the very last, he
was dead, SO they were buried to-
gether in sunny spot-Hugh and

are faithful to the letter of their con
tract with their employers, remain sales
men or bookkeepers until they are gray

become heads of establishments of their

WRESTLING BENNIE.

Bonnie had been at the shore all sum-
mer. and had learned to whistle. You
could always tell when Bonnie was
around; it was whistle all the time. 1t
was the first thing mamma heard in the
morning. and the last sound that came
from the little crib at night; and some
times Bennie would even whistle in his
sleep.
Mary. the cook, said, "she should
surely have to wear something over her
ears, he made 30 much noise with his
whistle"
And sister Annie, not much older
than Bonnie, made up this little verse
about him.. which pleased him very
much:
"Wh.s ling, wbistling, all through the day.
Benne whistles the time away;
Marching through Georgia is his tune,
And You could hear 1t in the MOON
The Sunday after they came from the
shore. mamma thought they would all
go to church. She had forgotten all
about the whistle, and what was her
surprise, as they were walking up the
aisle. to have Bennie begin on his favor
lite tune, and whistle till he reached his
seat.
Papa, who was ahead, is little deaf,
ana mamma was too far behind to stop
him.
Every body turned to see who was
CO ming. and smiled when they saw FIVE.
y ar old Ben, marching along, all uncon-
SC Gus that he was doing anything to
m Ike people look at him. Mamma spoke
to him as soon as she could, and Bennie
kept perfectly quiet the rest of the
morning; but she was glad when church
was out, for she was afraid Bonnie
would forget and whistle again.
Bonnie has been to church ever 30
many times since then, but always re-
members to do his whistling before he
starts.-M. d. III IN Our Little Ones.

The Little Red Squirrel.

Mr.. Brown and two OF his boys were
chopping down trees for firewood. An
oak was falling; and before it touched
the ground pretty red squirrel leaped
out of hole near the top, raced away,
and scampered up another tree before
they had time to say word.
THAT is beauty said Mr.. Brown.
If we had only known he was keeping
house up in this tree, we would not
have chopped it down.
Eyes, sir, it is too bad" said Johnny.
"Red squirrels are SO scarce, too. And
just see how many nuts the little fellow
had saved up. 1t must have taken him
a long time to gather them. And now
the nuts are all gone in the woods"
Il spose we might as we'll take the
nuts now.' said Eddy. They won't do
him any good"
"Wait little" said their father. "I'm
not so sure but Mr.. Squirrel may take
care of the nuts himself. Well work
awhile on the other side of the hill and
give him chance" So they went away
leaving the pile of nuts undisturbed.
But the boys. taking sly peep now and
then, several times caught sight of the
little squirrel frisking about the fallen
tree.
A few hours afterward. when they re-
turned to the spot, they found every
nut gone; but. hearing lively chat
tering, they glance up and saw pair
of bright eyes looking down at them
from hole in tree near by, and caught
just a glimpse of a bushy red tall

UNDER MY WINDOW.
BY FRANK H. SWEET.

Have you seen bobolink
Hiding in the grass?
have watched him for week,
And imred his saucy cheek,
Seen him pass.
Pack and forth through the grass.
Seem him work and seen him play,
But never going far away
And know there is nest
somewhere in the gra>s;
For I've seen him bringing food
That I'm sure was for his brood.
And one day
Saw his mate steal away,
eut I've searched and searched In vain,
Never sight of nest could gain.
And the saucy bobollnk
Patronizes me;
Sings to me his richest lay
Rohs his head and steals away,
Leaving me
Gazing blankly to see
What the cunning bird Is sure
NV dull e,es will not secure.
So if you have seen the rogue
Hiding in the grass,
1 am sure that you will stay
AS my honore guest to-day
And think
Well outwit bobolink,
And convince the rogue that he
Cannot make fool of me.

things YOU ever saw, as Hugh Win
s!on's was. Now, it was through
this very Robin, that Josh Barron
and l got into such trouble and dis
tress. Josh was an ambitious boy,
and he was jealous boy. he was
as mad as halter that spring, be-
cause Hugh Winston came out ahead
of him in algebra, but he seemed to
take great fancy to Hugh's dog.
I've thought since that this was sim
ply to tease Hugh.
One day Josh coaxed Rob to fol-
low us as we went over to "the Pop
lars" to play lawn tennis. Being a
little early, we stopped at Saddle
river where the turnpike crosses,
Josh tossing bits of bark into the
river for Rob to fetch, and perched
up in a sycamore tree. And there we
were, when man came along with a
tent wagon and stopped to water his
horses.
That's a spry little doggie," he
said as Rob came out of the water,
with spray of dogwood blossoms
that Josh had just thrown III. "Got
to camp out tonight and tomorrow
night and no dog"
"Why no dog9" heard Josh ask.
Because mine died piece back"
the man said; "overfed morn likely;
had fit."
"Here, Rob; here, Rob" said Josh,
patting Hugh's dog, "see here, mis-
ter, you may have this dog"
"No, you mayn't either" l was
about to call from the tree as the
man drew a stout cord from under
some sacks, "you can't have that dog
he doesn't belong to that boy" This
is what / meant to say, but l did not
say it, l wanted to see first if Josh
was in earnest, SO l pushed the
branches aside and looked down.
STEADY there, old tree owl" said
Josh, SITS none of your business;
you are booked for lawn tennis"
''Let up on that" l cried for he hit
me plumb in the ear with dead
sycamore ball.
The man looked Josh square in the
eyes, as he said;
Have you right to give that dog
away? l do not propose to be pla-
carded for robbery on the highway of
yellow dog"
81 have right" says Josh, "you
take him and go about your bust
ness, and I'll see that Mr.. ky-bird
attends to his"
'But Mr.. Dicky-bird means to be
a lawyer and make his living at at
tending to other peoples" l said,
thinking how smart | was. Then a
horrid old buttonhole caught me as
climbed down, and when ! tore it
loose and lit on my feet, Rob had
vanished.
"Are you going with me to play
lawn tennis at the Poplars, Dick
Dearingl" asked Josh, cor are you
going over yonder to tell the Win
stons9 Perhaps you wouldn't object
to being placarded on the highway
as a tell-tale; people shun tell-tales
as they do rattlesnakes."
Josh turned toward the Poplar5,
and l followed slowly, thinking it
must be a kind sort of man that
would overfeed dog, and hoping he
would not overfeed Rob. l knew
that Hugh's dog would run home as
soon as he was let loose. Presently
we came to a bend in the path over

"There they go noww exclaimed

ward O'Brien.

The brig Percy Edwards, owned by Cap
tain James McKenna, which has been
lying up in Oakland creek for two years,
will probably be purchased for the Central
American trade. Several wealthy persons
from the Gilbert Islands are here trying to
secure the vessel, and if they succeed her
first mission will be highly creditable to
herself and her new owners. She will pro-
ceed to San Jose de Guatemala and carry
home the "blackbird" Gilbert natives who
were kidnapped some years ago by the
tramp steamer Montserrat. 1t will be re-
membered that Captains Blackburn and
Ferguson engineered the scheme of sup
plying the Central American coffee plan
tations with cheap island laborers and
landed a steamer load of the simple natives
at Guatemala.
This slave trade soon fell into disrepute
even on the Spanish-American coast, and
the Montserrat went into other business,

the center in momentary expectation that
another explosion would raise cloud OF
grav dust and scatter broken fragments of
cement, or that the straining cables would
suddenly precipitate the spectacular fall
and crash.
But the tower would only lean a few de-
grees to the west, and, in that threatening
position, it will probably remain to-day
and until some time tomorrow afternoon.
More blasts will be put in the concrete to-
morrow forenoon after holes shall have
been drilled.
When the tower falls it will be unjointed
and broken up into convenient pieces, so
that it can be removed and piled some
where awaiting a sale as old iron.
1t is estimated by the Park Commission
ers, under whose orders the work is being
done, that the material will not bring
enough to pay for the labor of destruction.
At any rate, the Commissioners say they
offered to let any one take the tower down
for the material in it, but no one would at
tempt it.
The electric tower was a white elephant
to the men that invested their money in
it. 1t did not pay and nearly every part
of it. even to the concrete foundations, it
is said, is the subject of some legal claim.
The owners were given whole year to
remove the obstruction, for such the tower
has been considered Ito the work on the
extensive new concourse) and the present
action is the result of the Commissioners
determination to wait no longer.
