WELLINGTON and NapoIeon,s Horges

The horse that the Duke of Wellington
rode at Waterloo was named Copenhagen.
When that fearful battle was over, tho
horse appeared to sympathizc with and APP
preciate his masters success, for when the
duke arrived at headquarters, and, after
tossing the bride reins to groom, dis
mounted, the horse kicked up his heels in
an apparent ecstasy Of delight, saying rs
clearly as it is possible for a horse to say
anything, Tired as 1 am, will make
you see that l as well rs the rest can show
my Joy in the victory which my master
has achieved"
The duke saw to it that Copenhagen
was well provided for in his old age. He
had abundant ratiOns, the best of care and
was allowed to roam ut will in the park Mt
Strathheldsaye. His name lives with
his masters, for it is linked with his in
history"

Pioneering.

1t is quite the custom to speak Of the
whites who were the first to go among the
Indian tribes of the west as pioneers of
civilization" The civilization" was not
always of a perfectly civil order. The Off
Gals and traders of the old Hudson Bay
company used to claim credit for this
rough pioneering. If we may judge from
the records of the company, their work
was thorough in Its way, but the way was
hard one. Some entries in the account
books of the company, made more than
100 years ago, will show how the oiyiliz-
ing was being done:
''Dec. 81, 1895. Served out quart of
rum per man; the evening spent in limo.
cent mirth and iollity.
"Jan. l, 1896. All the Indians drunk
about the place; great trouble in keeping
order"
Two entries of an earlier date and from
. station still farther north show what
were the amenities of intercourse between
the civilized and savage races when
questions of right and justice were in the
way of settlement. The first entry reads:
1.-The company's cook, lad of 16, hav-
ing been carried off by the Esquimaux,
three out of party of six passing Esqui-
maux were seized as hostages until the
return of the boy"
Five years later another brief entry
shows how this transaction was finally
closed:
Had row with the three EsquimauI
detained. They were shot and their ears
picked in rum and sent on to their tribe
to show them what had happened. -

KITES PUZZLED BY KITES.
Other Big Birds, Too, Affected In tn
Ganna Urov

Other Big Birds, Too, Affected In the
Same Way.
Many amusing experiences have been
the lot of the scientists who have been
manipulating kites for scientific purposes.
Large birds are always interested in the
strange devices floating in the air and can
not quite make cut what they are. Prompt
cd by sharp curiosity, they hover around
the floating kite and subject themselves to
the danger of becoming entangled in the
silken string and being dragged down to
earth.
No bird, however has ever alighted on
a kite or attacked one While one scientist
was flying train of five kites a couple Of
years ago large silver tipped eagle came
suddenly out of the higher air and swooped
round and round the first kite, looking
against the sunset sky like huge silver
ball. As the train of kites was pulled in
the eagle followed, visiting one kite and
then another, seeming uncertain just what
to do. In few minutes, when he seemed
to have decided that they were not good to
eat and be knew nothing about them any
way, he Indignantly flew off and was Loss
TO view.
Another experience was had with stork
that came from the New Jersey side of the
Hudson and flew straight for the queer
object in the air. He apparently had made
up his mind to go straight through 1t, but
changed and dived underneath. He went
around and above it, and through glass
1t could be seen that he cooked his eye at
the intruder in a most comical manner.
He started away a few hundred feet
changed his mind and came sweeping
back. He finally reluctantly went away,
mystified over this queer addition TO the
Inhabitants of the air.
While kites were high IN the air ono
March aocks of geese flying in the V
wedge flew over. They invariably stopped,
broke up and lowered about the queer oh
ieot and at last flew away. While the
larger birds all come from heights above
the kites, the small birds of the air will

sway to and fro.-Chicago News.

POSTOFFlCE KINKS.

on Disputed Points Call For Ruling
Which the Public Seldom Sees.
In the administration of every postoffice
there are bound to arise differences be-
tween the authorities and the public which
have to be referred to Washington for ad-
justment. There rules are made which
will fit the grievances, but the public gen.
orally knows little about these minor reg
ulations. They are promulgated, Of course,
In the annual Postoffice Guide, but who
ever reads that, except for the location Of
offices and the classification of mail mat
ter! a man may suspect that his wife Is
renting a postoffice box from which to
get clandestine mail, but he can't prove it
by the postotiice, for the employees are for
hidden to tell the name of any person who
rents n box or drawer. The Press has
noted from time TO time some of the odd
and least understood of the newer rules,
and 1t adds here some others from the lat
est monthly supplement Of the Guide.
Soldiers, sailors and marines in the ac
tive service of the United States are tho
only persons in the country who can send
their mail C. o. D. If their letters are
marked soldiers letter, ""sailor's letter"
or marines letter." as the case may be,
and under these words appears the sigma
sure of the commanding officer, the post
age, but at single rates only, will be col
leCted on delivery.
It's queer, but If there is postage due on
n letter the postmaster cannot lawfully
accept postage stamps in payment The
only legal tender in such case is money.
1t is possible that the New York post
office authorities have overlooked that gen.
eral rule for postmasters In the conduct of
their offices which says: at Is important
that mail matter be postmarked In a per-
feet manner so that each letter and figure
of the stamp may DO distinct. A failure
on the part of the postmaster to postmark
mail legibly not only reflects upon the
management of his office, but renders him
liable to be charged with delays which
have not actually occurred at his Office"
Not only are postmasters forbidden to
furnish lists of persons receiving mail
from their postoffices, but the wives and
families of the postmaster are also forbid
den to tell what the head of the family
may have mentioned. AS to the mem bers
Of his family, the enforcement of the pro-
hibition is left with the postmasteR.-N

BEOOUlN SONG.

From the desert come to thee
On L stallion shod with fire,
And the winds are left behind
In the speed Of my desire.
Under the window l stand,
And the midnight hears my cry
! love thee love but thee,
With u love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars are old,
And the leaves of the judgment boob
unfold
Look from thy window and see
My passion and my pain.
lie on the sands below,
And faint in thy disdain.
Let the night winds touch thy brow
With the heat of my burning sigh,
And melt thee to hear my vow
OF love that shall not die
Till the san grows cold,
And the stars are old,
And the leaves of the Judgment boot
unfold!
Ny steps are nightly driven
By the fever III my breast
To hear from thy lattice breathed
The word that shall give me rest.
Open the door of thy heart,
And open thy chamber door,
And my kisses shall teach thy lips
The love that shall fade no more
Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars are old,
And the leaves of the Judgment book
unfold!

Two up state farmers, Jerry and Jake,
had been enjoying brief holiday at New
York, and during the trip they had seen Il
great many sights. Jerry was rather a
domineering sort of fellow, and, some
what to his companions annoyance and
humiliation, had taken the lead all day.
In fact Jake had been trailed about here,
there and everywhere willy nilly without
being consulted, and he was just about sick
of it all. At last it was time to go home.
When they reached the station, Jake
marched upon the platform and jumped
into the first car he saw.
"What have you got in there for?" de-
manded Jerry as he came up.
ITO please myself, returned Jake sulk-
lily.
