She Loves Birds.

The dowager empress of China is
devoted to birds of all kinds. and in
Vulnerable bird pets ARE kept about
the palace. She is reported to have
wept copiously about the death of a
favorite nightingale not long ago. Upon
being told of Chinese girl who had
complained bitterly of the dreariness
of life, this exalted lady remarked
sagely that woman ought to take
SO much pride in her home that it
could be heaven to her, adding:
"There are always birds and flowers -
She is clever artist and delights in
painting from nature.-Detroit Free

stamped by years of drudgery. The
wagon, too, was old and dilapidated
and creaked dismally as it was dragged
over the frozen ruts by the ancient
horse. Poor old Nick was half para
lyzed. SO that whether he went fast or
slow his gait was succession of queer
one-sided jerks. ..
In the midst of this picture of dreary
age, there was one incongruous object.
Fastened on top of bundle of old
gray laths in the back of the wagon,
was baby's highchair-a new, un-
painted, wooden chair. The effect was
almost startling. 1t was very rough
splintery chair, but, clumsy and ugly as
it was, it told of new life in the midst
of age and decay. .
For some time after James remark
the horse kept up his lop-sided amble,
only disturbed by an occasional Cit

Martha. At last, with furtive look
at her sister, Jane broke the silence:

They took pesl1y time to get started,

such articles as butter, eggs, etc. The

advantage of such a market box is that

MAUD ECHO HAWK.
An Indian Girl Who Is Civilized and
Is Engaged in the Education
of Her People.

Inc NOPE req man Is no longer d
problem. He has been solved. In 20 or
80 wears he has climbed from savagery
to place so near the summit of civil
cation that he wears patent leather
shoes and carries a life insurance pol
icy. All this has been brought about
through the persistent efforts of the
white teachers and missionaries.
The further refining and polishing of
poor Lo is what the national Indian
school service institute has under con-
sideration. Some 500 superintendent,
teachers and other employees of the In
dian service and missionaries are en-
gagged in the work. Among them are
q few Indians who have taken up the
work of civilizing their race.
One of these native teachers is Maud
Echo Hawk, beautiful Pawnee girl,
who displays gold filing in her teeth
when she smiles.
Picture slim, graceful figure at
tired in dainty blue check Bingham
dress trimmed with white lace, small
feet shod in pointed kid shoes tipped
with patent leather, an oval distinc-
lively Indian face, tinted, coppery
complexion, brownish black eyes that
express a fathomless depth of tender
ness. This is Maud Echo Hawk, an up
to-date Indian maiden who makes her
own clothes and knows how to concoct
cream tarts, mince pies, and ever so
many other civilized things to ruin
the digestion of her future husband.
She hassuch sweet: romantic name,
suggestive Of caverns and mountain
crags and cataracts, that it seems a
shame to civilize her. In her the I'M
tanned blood of her forefathers has not
been entirely subdued in spite of the
civilizing process she has been put
through since she was taken away
from her fathers wigwam as little
girl and placed in the Carlisle Indian
school.
Miss Echo Hawk is now 23 years old,
and she has had many advantages, but
she says that she sometimes longs to
go back to her people. When asked if
she would ever go back to her nation
and be married, the tint of her brown
cheeks deepened and she smiled BASH
fully. The question confused her, and
she said in her quantity accented Eng

Springfield, S. D. After a course at
Carlisle she was transferred to the
Lincoln. institute at Philadelphia,
where she graduated. She has paid
few brief visits to her father, who is
chief among the Pawnees in Okla

fully, but the women turned up their
noses at her broad sleeves the last
time she was there, and she was criti-
cised a good deal because she could not
split wood. AS teacher she earns $35

SPANISH SOLDIERS.

The following estimate of the
Spanish people and soldiers is taken
from the Encyclopedias Britannica;
Spain, once the proudest of nations
has been brought sOslow by years of
misrule and anarchy that she can
scarcely now be classed among the
powers Of Europe, and the army which
under Charles ". the Duke of Alba
and the Constable Of Bourbon had
proved itself SO formida BILE, has been
reduced to state of disorganization
tina. makes any detailed notice of it
impossible. The contrast between
the Spanish soldiers and the Spanish
people during the Peninsular wax
presents a curious problem At the
very time that the armies of Spain
were dispersed on every occasion, often
almost without firing shot, the peo-
pie were SIGNALLING themselves by the
heroic defense of their towns, and by
carrying on despera4s guerilla var

A strong move is being made to se-
cure the construction OF the road
from Mesa co Globe. The estimated
cost OF this road runs from $4,000 to
$4,000, yet this is naught compared to
the benefits that would result to both
Globe and the Salt Riyer Valley.

growing mining country, and If can !

In view of the present strained re-
lations between the United States
and Spain, anything pertaining to
the instruments of war which would
be used in case of hostilities, becomes
interesting. The following has par
ticular reference to the torpedo boats
and torpedo boat destroyers OF the
torpedo goat destroyers Of the Span
ish navy: The difference between the
torpedo boats ard the torpedo boat
d. stroyers is SO marked both by their
varying armament and the uses for
which they are intended. The tori
pedo boats are light. swift sailing
vessels for projecting or placing tor
pedaes. They are unarmorsd and
carry no So estroysrs, whfts
equally Iig' edy, and also
naarnored, are armed with RAPID ufo
guus. In their construction every.
thing is sacrificed to speed.
yPhe mission OF the destroyers is to
prevent the torpedo boats of an enemy
from approaching or injuring battlc-
ships. BY quick movements and by
rapid dashes on torpedo boats, to-
- : n
getheg with the use Of rapid fire guns,
they are calculated to be of great
service to fleets of heavier bsttleships.
While the conveys are most SER
viceaLls ia the deep waters they be-
come clumsy and unmanageable i'm
mediately they are required to man
euyer in close quarsers, The duty Of
the guardians is practically performad
when they have escorted the smaller
ships to the quiet karbor. While there
thry mnst content themselves to act
as supply boats, feeding the torpedo
boats with fnel and ammunition, while
at the same time resisting attacks
upon themselves by their guns and
