ORIGINAL UNCLE SAM.
He Was u New Yorker and His Name
wHs samuel Wilson.

When we talk of the United States
government in n familiar sort of way
we call it Uncle Sam; and you have
often seen pictures of Uncle Sam-a
long, lean, old-fashioned Yankee, with
a high hat and with a swallow-tail coat
and brooches marked with the stars and
stripes of the flag. The way in which the
United States came to be called Uncle
Sam is this:
During the war of 1912 the United
States government entered into con-
tract with n man by the name of Ebert
Anderson to furnish supplies to the
army. When the United States buys
ANYTHING from n contractor, an inspec-
tor is always appointed to see that the
goods are what the contract calls for,
and that the government gets full value.
In this case the government appointed
man by the name of Samuel wilson,
who was always called Uncle sam
| nv those who knew him. He inspected
every package and cask that came from
| Ebert Anderson, the contractor, and
| if he found that the contents were all
right, the package or cask was marked
| Wltn the lclltTS T.. a. ~, VIZ iiia
| tails of the contractor and of the United
States. The man whose duty it was
to do this marking was jovial sort
of fellow, and when somebody asked
him what these letters meant, he said
they stood for Ebert Anderson and I'm
Gle Sam. Everybody, including "unoie
Sam Wilson himself, thought this was
very good joke; and by and by it
got into print, and before the end OF
the war it was known all over the coun-
try; and that is the way the United
States received it's name of Uncle
Sam"
Mr.. Wilson, the original Uncle SAM
died ut Troy, n. Y, in 1854, at the age
of s4.-Clifford Howard, IN st. Nicholas.

box on his way to- Bobby's home he
wished he had not gone into business
for himself that morning.
And as for Bobby, in some way he
ran that same hook into the fleshy part
of his right thumb, and get it out
he could not. So not at all happy, ana
wishing that he had not disobeyed his
mother, he started for home, but he
went down the wrong side of the HILL
and while Bunny's mother was dividing
her mouthful of corn among her three
little squirrels instead of four. Bobby's
mother and lot of other people from
the tents and cottages near by were
securing the hills and deep, dangerous
ravines, calling "Bobby Rnnsom!' and
getting no answer but the echoes.
1t was night before they found him,
lying asleep by the side of stream
his fishing-rod broken off near the
point, the line he could not unite from
the hook would round his swollen right
hand, his shoes worn out and clothing
badly torn, but he was still holding the
can, inside of which poor hungry Bun
nv was scratching in vain to get out.
Bunny never got back to his parents
and Bobby said he would never run
away again; promise his sore hand
kept in mind till he and Bunny went
to his Kansas home.-Child's Paper

Mr.. w. lie &. Beard writes in st. Mich
olas of pet eagle named Moses, which
ne caught in the Arizona desert. Mr..
Beard says: Moses had a language of
his own, which, by the constant prnc-
tice he gave us, we soon learned to un-
derstand. 1t consisted of series oil
cries, all harsh and nerve-rasping, but
perfectly distinct, each one expressing
a different emotion. Thus, rage, en-
treaty. excitement and pleasure were
each easily distinguished by those who
knew him well. His one syllable note
of greeting was more explosive and per
laps q shade less disagreeable than the
rest; and he had also low. Grooming
sort of murmur; but this he used only
in soliloquy, so 20 us 1t expressed only
the fact that Moses was talking Owe
things with himself.

The passing of the severe season is
the signal for undisguised triumph in

lad activities.
Mans Easter is at one with that lof
nature and with the Divine who is risen

ton as the first and primal basis OF her
claim. For if He is not risen there is

In Los Angeles, resident exhibits

peculiar way. He was riding leisurely
among the foothills when mountain
lion crossed his path, and was stink
ing away, as it generally does, when he
rashly fired at it with a light shotgun
he carried. The lion, slightly wound
ed, came back in rage and made dash
at him. The horse SHE'D and the man
was thrown, striking his head against
a rock, and causing insensibility.
When he came to his senses, his horse
was standing over him, and dead lion
lay little distance away. He exam

crushed like an eggshell. The horse
had got fair crack at him with his
heels, and made an end OF him.

that fresh ones were supplied to place
the others. When a week had passed, he
turned suddenly upon Jerlyn and
thanked him for his care and the gift
of the flowers.
Flowers. what fowers?" demanded
Jerlyn, nervously. He was little,
nervous man, who spoke rapidly.
Didn't know you cared for EN-.
don't. Cabbages are much more to my
taste, especially when boiled with bacon

Bradnor did not pursue the subject,
but he brooded over it all the more. He
had no acquaintance or friend at the
Springs save Jerlyn, and he was sure
the landlord had not provided them.
He was now able to sit in an easy
chair and the doctor had promised that
within day or two he might. with the
aid of crutches. leave his room and
mingle with the guests of the hotel.
The following morning he was awake
when Bridget, the chambermaid. en-
tered his room and was surprised TO see
her bearing cluster of fresh roses in
her hands.

When next Easter day came Victor

this day of days in the calendar. Brad

voices of the men and boys of the choir.
His thoughts were far out and away IN
the UNCOVERED Virginia church, and
he felt that the music of her voice was
sweeter than that of all the harmonies
which echoed in st. Peters. While the
organ pealcd and voices blended with
it in happy acclaim of Resurrection

head except al the very center, where
there is u minute aperture correspond
ing to the pupil. These great punctured
cye-balls constantly roll about hither
and thither, but with no coordination
in their movement-so those who have
watched them say. You cannot tell
whether the absurd little reptile IS
looking at you or not; he seems TO be
taking n general view of things, looking
az nothing in particular-or rather, as
if to save time, looking at several
things at once.
At first. perhaps, both optics are
turned upward toward your face; leaf
uuivers behind his head, and in mo-
ment one eye turns in that direction,
while the other retains its upward gaze.
Presently fly appears; one eye rap

while the other still keeps close watch

The chameleon's trick of changing

too well known to call for comment.
Altogether, this innocent but venom
ous-looking freak is a kind of Lilli-

uncanny effect on the spectator.

A flock of sparrows worrying n rat
was the unusual sight witnessed in a
city street recently. They chased it
back and forth detcrminedly and cruel
ly, and for time made life a burden
to the rodent. Probably it had been
robbing their nests, since 1t was run
ming wildly away from building, with
the noisy birds in full pursuit. The rat
made several Intellectual attempts to
find hole in the sidewalk, but the
birds headed it Off every time, and
would perhaps have finally killed it,
but suddenly cat made dash at the
sparrows, and the rat ran down an open
cellarway and disappeared.

White Sulphur Springs was filled with
people from all over the country and
among the throngs was Victor Bradnor,
who had gone thither not so much for
his health as to get away from the heat
of the city and the ennui that at times
oppressed him.
The evening was a delightful one in
August. and Bradnor was seated upon
converse with an old acquaintance he
had first met at Florence, and, later, at
London.

a misadventure he had on n gondola at

bath in the blue waters. when, suddenly,

firing of a cannon would not have di-
