An American fleet in Spanish waters
may do much to enlighten the Spanish
people as to los Americanos, These
poor people have been deluded by false
reports, fairy stories as to Spanish
victories. They need an awakening,
and the idea of making an American
demonstration on the coast Of Spain is
good.

BACK TO ITS OLD HOME
Homesick Heifer Makes Remarkable
Journev

THE story about the Indian cow that,
being sold, became so homesick that She
refused to give milk, but resumed her lac
teal duty the moment she was returned to
her old home" says Cattaraugus county
citizen, may be doubted by some, but hot
by me, for l remember Farmer Toys cow
up our way, and know how homesick cows
really become. Farmer Foy lived just
over the line in Mexican county. Pa and
he sold several head of cattle one spring TO
a cattle buyer of Crawford county. Among
the lot was a 3-year-old heifer, born and
raised on the Foy farm. Great difficulty
was encountered in getting the young ami
NAL away from her native place, but the
drover at last succeeded in driving her
along with the rest to the railroad station,
whence they were all shipped to Meadville,
by Salamanca, roundabo course OF
$50 miles,
Four weeks later Farmer Foy was awak-
ened late one night by the bawling of a
cow. The bawling was so unusual and so
loud and persistent that by and by the
farmer got up and dressed and went out TO
see what it meant. He could scarcely be-
lieve his eyes when he discovered that the
animal that had been making all the iuss
cattle buyer month before. She was
standing al the bars of the barnyard and
calling Justify TO be let in. She was prompt
ly let in and she lay down in her old place
as If she had never left it,
Next day it was discovered that the
critter was thin and footsore and plainly
worn by long travel. Foy, being native
of Crawford county. was a subscriber to
one of the Meadville papers, and in the
weeks issue that came the day after the
return of the heifer he saw her advertised
as an estray. she having broken out of her
Enclosure one night of the previous week
A reward was offered for her return. That
the heifer had found her way back to her
old home, over distance of 100 miles, in
travelling which it was necessary for her
to cross the Allegheny river at least three

she. strange cow, travelling though
strange land. managed to escape detention
by some as an estray and by what marvel
Gus instinct she found her way back to ner
native pastures, are things no one will
ever know. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that Farmer Foy promptly returned to her
purchaser the price he had received for her
and that the animal remained all the rest
of her days on the farm to return to which

FEARED HIS STEPFATHER
So Young Brown Preferred to Die
Away From Home

About l:3O o'clock last night a young man
was seen to stagger and then fall to the
sidewalk at the corner of Spring and First
streets. 1t was at first thought he had
fallen in fit, but sheer weakness later
proved to have been the cause. Officer
Spencer sent the sick man to the receiving
hospital and DR.. Hagan was summoned.
Then sad story was related by the man,
who stated that his name was Richard
Brown, aged 20, and he had arrived in this
city from San Bernardino last Saturday.
Brown was in the last stages of consump-
ton and his condition was pitiable in the
extreme, the man being but a shadow of
his former self. The officers asked Brown.

mother resided in this city, as they would
send him to her. mol No.' exclaimed
the sufferer. 81 don't want to go there a $
long as she is living with my stepfather.
l would rather die in the Streets
DIR. Hagan pronounced Browns case to
be very serious. so Officer Sparks went to
notify the mother of the boy He found
her to be Mrs. Casey, who resides in the
rear of 225 South Hill street. Accompanied
by her husband, the stepfather so feared
by her sick son, Mrs. Casey went to the
iSeei'ihS Hospildl TO see the dying con-
sumptive. She did not remain long, for
the boy had been given>l narcotic. and,
desiring to get some sleep. requested that
shc leave him. Mrs. Casey did, but the
critical condition Of tie son failed, ab-
Tarently, to affect her nuc! The husband
was as Indifferent as though he had no
knowledge of Browns existence. Casey
did not go in TO see the sick man but
waited outside at the desk for the boys
mother to return Brown was a perfect
stranger to him, he said. The sick man
is not expected to live through today.
