THE YOUNGEST SOLDIER.

He Is John DAILY and Is Stationed at
WiIlet's Point, l.. 1.
John Daily is the youngest soldier in
the army of the United States. Daily, or
johnny" as he is called affectionately
by his comrades, is the Wee Willie
Winkieo of the battalion of engineers sta
toned at Willet's Point, L. |. 1t may be
said of him that he was born soldier,
for his father before him. Michael DAILY,
was in the service of his country for
about 80 years. He was born on the res
ervation, and his infancy and childhood
were spent with the soldiers. He played
at soldiers and war with ten pins, and
while a very small infant was a great
strategist. He was sapper and miner,
and built breastworks of mud and forts
of stray bits of brick and stone. He had
always a great regard for Uncle SAM"
whom he regarded as real person and
one of his blood relatives.
About a year ago Johnny determined
to join the army, and prevailed upon his
father to enlist him. Being then under
IA, Johnny was enlisted by special order
as drummer boy, and he is now one of
the four field musicians at the post.
The other three are full grown men.
He receives $13 a month, the same pay

d'n'know, an nobody knows; an he's

But even if we cannot picture the first
canine ancestor, we can easily decide
which are the earliest types now living.
Of the true dogs perhaps the most prim-
tive is the dingo, o. wild dog of Aus
tralia. On that great island continent
there is another native canine. Near
lyevery four-footed mother in that land
of the southern sea carries her babies in
her pocket. But mamma dingo does
not follow this prevailing fashion
which the kangaroos and their cousins
have set for ages; and papa dingo does
not associate upon friendly terms with
''oId man. kangaroo. Yet the dingo
footed people of the bush-so much so
that the native Australian considers
him the king of the beasts.
These wild dogs sometimes run in
packs, but more often prowl about in
pairs; and literally they are pretty
pair of rogues," for every dingo is good
looking and bad acting. He is about
two feet high and finely proportional,
with a tail as handsome as the brush so
proudly worn by our familiar friend,
Reynard. The tip of the dingo's tail is
| usually white. and the rest of his body
tawny or reddish, but lighter upon
breast and belly. He stands firm and
strong upon his well-built legs; so take
him all together, Canine Dingo is a
| handsome fellow. But he is far from
beautiful in behavior. He howls and
prowls like a wolf, he sneaks and steals
| like fox, and has all the mean habits
of a sheep-killing dog. He never barlls,
| but you really ought to hear him howl.
Once is enough. Even the bushmen-
sound sleepersa as they are-awake at his
blood-curdling cry.
The dingos breed in the malice scrub.
They live upon marsupials-and spring
lambs, until the bushmen rise in their
might and kill as many of them as pos
sible. Nearly every province in Aus
tralia offers a reward for their heads.
AS high as two pounds head has been
paid, which certainly proves that the
Australians think that the only good
dingo is dead dingo.

From correspondent in Mechanics
burg, Pa, comes pretty story about a
boys pet rabbit. This bunny is great
friend of the chickens, and has carried
it so far that now he regularly goes to
roost with them every night. A few
weeks ago bunny developed another
trait, still more astonishing. When
the hens get on the nest for their daily
task of laying eggs, the rabbit sits
with them. 1t is not supposed that il
is any particular advantage to have him
there, but Biddy never objects, and
with a soft cluck-cluck, she makes room
for the furry friend by her side.

CLosETED WITH A CRAZY MAN
Perilous Situation of a Southern Railway
President.

While Col. S. w. Fordyce, president
of the Cotton Belt road, was seated in
his private car at Pine Bluff, Ark, the
other day, he was approached by a
Strengthening man, who demanded
$1,000 The fellow held package in
his hand, and informed the colonel that
if he did not produce the money inside
of five minutes his friends and also the
company would regret it. He said he
had been working on one of the
branches of the Cotton Belt, and that
the company owed him 81, 900, and that
he would not leave the car until he got
it. He would accept no check, and
nothing would satisfy him but the
cash. Col. Fordyce engaged the man
in conversation, leading him to believe
that his claim would be paid, while
one of the members of the party slipped
out of the rear door of the car and
summoned a policeman. Chief Stewart
arrested the man and locked him up
The package in his possession proved
to be small box containing a number
of cartridges, some of the shells OF
which had been exploded. He refused

condluon became serious and he prescribed
small pink pills which, in short time, re-

told the reporter, 1--WE learned that themedi-
cine the physician was giving my sister was

how excellent a remedy these pills were,
Mrs. Newell bought some at drug store

most gratifying, for in six months my sister
was perfect1y well and the pain in her back
was nothing more than an unpleasant men,

% II I was fellows mother,
I'd never, never see
A single thing that fellow did
That wasn't meant for me.
=" I'd let him stay out after dark;
l never would say No,
Because that stirs a fellow up
And spoils his temper so!
!" I'd say: Play first and study next
And Do not go to bed.
No matter what o clock it is,
Until your story's read
p would not know he'd been kept in,
Or ask the reason why.
I'd be quite blind to all such things,
Or kind of pass them by.
I'd give him pudding, pies and jam
And marmalade and cake
But would not even mention bread
And all the nuts he'd take.
a. Oh, were ! q fellows mother
A certain ones l know
Wouldn't he have the slickest time!
You'd better believe it's so!
. Buff was that fellows mother,
wonder If 1 would
Do half that fellows mother does
For him? Or be-so good?
- I wonder if I'd mend his clothes
Without a single scowl?
And only say Gently, dear boy
At his most horrid howl?
81 wonder if when he was sick
I'd be so awful kind?
And never breathe: told you so!
Or: Reg, you didn't mind"
p But only sit and battle his head
In such a peaceful way,
With something sort of sweet and COOL
For maybe half a day?
