walked from end to end.
Opposite stood, as now they stand,
spring gardens, where in old times the
beaus and bellies of the court of Charles

house was located "the learned pig"
Bystanders desirous of seeing it's per-

smaller one playing cards were appar-

Onlookers, possibly confederates, named

round and placed his snout on the nam

From that exhibition, the writer, in

ner of man he is. We had a fine crew,
some of them as powerful men as I ever
saw. Four or five of them went ashore
one day and came back fighting drunk
"Three of them were men who would
singly have been more than match in
strength for John l.. Sullivan. The or
der was given to put them in irons, and
1t was found impossible to carry out the
order, for the men were dangerous.
Dewey was notified of the situation. He
was writing a letter in his room at the
time.
He went to the place where these
giants were and he told them to come
out and submit to the irons. They did
not stir. Then Dewey said quietly to an
orderly, Bring me my revolvers, ond
when he had his pistols he again called
upon the men to come out, but they did
not move. Then he said, Il am going to
count three. If you are not out here
with your hands held up on the third
count, you won't come out of that place
alive.
He counted one, then he cooked the
revolvers, and he counted two. We all
expected to hear the report, for we knew
that Dewey meant what he said. The
men knew it too They stepped out just
in time to save their lives and held ub
their hands and thew had beap martial
ly sobered by their fright and the moral
effect of Dewey's glance.
Zone of them said afterward that
when he saw Dewey's eyes he knew
that he would either be dead Jackie
in moment or he would have to yield,
and when the irons were put upon him
he was as sober as he ever was in his
life. Dewey went back to his room and
finished the letter he was writing. -

Tha d4irla Rlnshad roo.

Visitors at the Worlds fair of 1898
will recall the Indian exhibit or en-
campment on the shore of the south
pond One of the tents or wigwams
was occupied by an athletic and fine
looking but somewhat taciturn specimen
of young Indian manhood as his own
particular home, and while it was open
at all proper hours for the inspection of
visitors he resented any approach to i'm
pertinent curiosity.
A bevy of young women dropped into
his tent one day before his usual hour
for opening it and found him sewing a
rent in a blanket
''See how he bushes; exclaimed one
of the visitors. We have caught him
doing squaw's work !"

in perfectly good English, she bushes

ed white Americans of the nineteenth
century. -

and shortly afterward went out without
further remarks: Youth IS Companion.

No Flowers Allowed at q Military Funeral.
Flowers can play no part in mill
tary funeral, the rules of army or naval
burials forbidding them,' explained an
army officer to a reporter. "While
was down at Chickamauga recently it
was rumored that one of the soldiers in
camp there had died. Indeed it was
so printed in local paper. The result
was that on the following day large
quantity of flowers were sent by sympa-
thetic ladies and others with request
that they should be placed ON the coffin
Of the dead spldier. Now, the fact was
that no solder had died and the officers
had the flowers sent to their quarters.
If there were death in the camp, the
flowers could not be used, for they are
not military in any sense. The only
thing allowed ON the coffin Of a soldier
or sailor is flag. That has been decid-
ed to be decoration enough, and among
military men have never heard the
slightest objection to the custom, which
has always prevailed. "-W Washington

II was once speaking at temperance

Il was once speaking at temperance
meeting in Green Bay, says ex-Gov-
ernor Peck of Milwaukee, land in the
course of my remarks looked about for
some water. A mug had been placed be-
side me, and how it could have happen
ed at temperance convention do not
know, but it was beer mug filed with
water Well, it was warm day and
where there is convention food spread
out on warm day there are likely to
be flies.
"There were flies, and one had light
ed trustingly on the surface of the wa
ter in that mug saw him as lifted
it, and l did the most natural and hu-
name thing could think of-blew him
off the water. Well, they cheered for
five minutes. And to this day suppose
you can't persuade a Green Bay man
that anybody from Milwaukee can drink
glass of water, even at temperance
convention, without first blowing off
the foam.

The Queens Four Leaved clover.

An amusing story of Queen Hortense,
daughter of the Empress Josephine and
wife of Louis Bonaparte, king of Hol-
land, has lately been told. After her ex-
lie from Holland the ex-queen sojourn-
ed for a time in modest habitation
near Constance, in Switzerland.
AS her health was broken down by
her troubles her physicians prescribed a
visit to the mountains of Appenzell,
and the ex-queen, accompanied only by
reader or female companion and two
or three servants, went to a rustic
neighborhood in the hills. There she
and her companion found nothing bet
ter to do than hunt for four leaved clo-
yer and became quite excited in the
search.
''To lend the matter interest, !" the
queen wrote in letter which has been
brought to light, "we would assume
that each discovery of four leaved clo-
yer had some prophetic significance.
The next one, if found SO and so, meant
that we should return to France; an
other meant that was to receive let
ter the next day from my son Louis,
and SO on. In this innocent pastime we
found positively the only excitement
that was open to us in the place.
'But soon it was noised abroad
among the children of the neighborhood
that we were continually hunting four
leaved clover, and consequently, these
children argued, we must want it very
much. Then all the children and some
of the grown people were out hunting
four leaved clover, and soon great
punches of it were brought to us, for
which we had to show ourselves very
grateful.
sin another day our only resource for
amusement was gone, for these kind
but superserviceable people had strip
ped the neighborhood for mile around
of all it's four leaved clover"

AMERICAN BATTLE CRIES.
Famous Words that Inspired Our Sol
diers and Sailors to Victory.

Famous W ords that Inspired Our Sol
diers and Sailors to Victory.
Remember the Maine" is not the
first battle cry that inspired American
soldiers in their battles. The last words
of Lawrence, Don't give up the ship,
when he fought the Chesapeake against
the Shannon are historic, and these
words 1uttered from the flagship of
Perry in the famous battle of Lake
Erie, when he defeated the British
and probably had mucn to do with the
winning of the victory.
Capt. Jack Philips call to prayers on
the Texas after the naval battle of
Santiago was paralleled by Commo-
dore Macdonough's action in the battle
of Lake Champlain, except that the
latter call was before and not after
the conflict. Macdonald ran up a sig
nal for prayer, and he led on his ship,
kneeling among his men. In the fight
which followed, British shot struck
hen coop, which was on our Saratoga,
liberating IA game cock, which flew into
the rigging and crowed like all pos
sessed during the remainder of the
fight. At this the crew cheer"d and
fought harder than ever.
There have been only two American
battle cries in which the injunction
Remember" figures. One, and the
earlier, was the cry, Remember the
Raisin." In the war of 1872, Harrison
was surprised at the River Rasin in
the Northwest Territory on The morn
ing of Jan. %, 1918, and he surrendered
to Il body of British and Indians.
Many of the prisoners We're abandoned
to the Indians and outraged and tor
tured before being released by death.
But this was fully avenged in the fall,
when Harrison won the battle of the
Thames. Strongly REINFORCED he
pressed forward to the watchword,
Remember tie River Rasin." In
the fight Tecumseh was killed and the
Indian power in the northwest was
broken.
The other remember war cry was
remember the Alamo" and it inspired
the Texans in their struggle for indie
pendence from Mexico.
Madcap Anthony Wayne used sin
gular battle cry at the taking of Stony
Point, up the Hudson. The fort had
been captured from us, and Washing
ton was exceedingly anxious to regain
it, Wayne had said to him once, III
storm hell, if you'll only plan it, gen
eral." to which Washington replied
with Il smile, Hadn't we better try
Stony Point firstT' Wayne did try
He advanced at midnight of Jult 10,
1873, his troops in two columns 1t
was arranged that at the instant that
the British saw them the Americans
should cry all together. The fort is
ours" The cries, and the cheers, and
tba determined assault won.

Fashions in Dolls Eyes.

The majority of English dolls eyes
are blue. Like everything else they
are ruled by fashion, and the reason Of
the preponderance is that when the
Onaen assembled the throne she was
very fair and had blue eyes. Conse-
quently every doIl-maker in the country
began to send blue-eyed dolls from their
factories. and during the reign have
continued to do so. Every nation has
it's own standard of doll beauty. For
instance, in Italy and Spain, where all
the celebrated beauties have dark eyes
and olive skias, fair-halred, biue-eyed
doll Of native manufacture is practical
ly unknown. In Japan the eyes of the
do,,s are small and are set aslant like
