A Santiago Hero.

"a huge negro soldier who had been
wounded in the neck came striding
along, his head poked way up in the
air from the height and thickness of
the bandages in which it was swathed,
when suddenly he caught sight of an
American officer, who was badly
wounded apd yet struggling pitifully
along as best he could in the hope of
getting help before it was too late. The
big negro looked down at him a mo-
ment over his bandages, and then sud-
denly stopped, picked the wounded
white man up in his arms and carried
him tenderly every step of the way back
to Siboney, a distance of IL miles, where
the hospital tents and the doctors were.
The man was hero if ever there was
one, and he must have been a perfect
Hercules, too, for it takes big amount
of muscle for one man who is wounded

ground, no matter how small the other
man may be.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

AN AWFUL DEED.
Pathetic Scene Over Coffin of n Fa-
Their Who Had Killed the Mother
While Mad with Whisky.

Once upon time a temperance re-
former was aroused from his breakfast
table by a clapping on the door by
little blue-eyed 14-year-old boy, The
child, thinly clad, asked the gentle
man to visit the jail where the little
fellows father was, and who was to
be hanged that day. The gentleman
did so, and in the afternoon the body
of this father was carried to the hovel
of his children. On the arrival of the
body in rude pine box, and after
lamenting. the boy said: Come, sis
ter, let's kiss papa before his lips are
cold" Imagine the scene. This ia
Their had killed their mother while
drunk. The children gathered around
the casket, kissing their dead father
and screaming in frantic tones: 80, IA
Their, o, father, you were good to us
and mother, but whisky did it." And
while these children lay on their bed
at night, fatherless and motherless,
with broken hearts and ruined home,
with no eye to see them and no hand
to care for them, save the Jehovah's,
this nation boasts Of her full treas
ury, large churches and manly states

We wish we had every little orphan
boy ard girl, made so by drink, upon
our arms. We would like to cheer
these priceless souls and be father
and friend to them all, but this is not
possible, and inasmuch as it is so, the
only tangible assistance we are able
to render is to have our sword drawn,
and every time the enemy comes in
reach make break at his magazine Of
sorrow. Are you ready 10 join in with

THE WASpS' NEST.
Application to the Temper
ance Question.

A family dwelt in a low-roofed
matched cottage. the children were
small, and the room in which they
slept was directly beneath the thatch.
AS the mother rose early in the sum-
mer morning she found the children's
room infested with wasps, buzzing
about the bed, clustering in the win
dow, or crawling upon the floor. She
killed numbers of them, but day by
day they seemed to increase. At
length she discovered, to her horror,
that there was a nest of wasps in the
thatch near the children's bed, anG
apparently in such a position as to
defy all efforts to dislodge them.
A mothers fear for her children,
however, wrought upon her feelings to
such degree that, waiting until her
husband had gone to his work and the
children were safely out of reach. she
placed an earthen pan filled with wa

CHARMING CHEROKEES.
Indian Maidens Who Are Beautiful
and Well Advanced in
Their Studies.

Long and painstaking investigation
by the experts of the United States
government, just completed, shows
that it is to the Indian girl the world
may have to look for the development
of her race.
A too general impression regarding
an Indian girl of to-day is that she is
an unkempt, coarse appearing crea-
ture, with none of the refinement char
acteristic of the white woman and a
general tendency toward degradation.
1t has seemed to be almost impossible
to divorce the Indian girl from the
idea obtained through familiarity
with the story book squaw of other
days or the impression given by the
besotted Indian women one sees loung-
ing about the stations of the rail-
ways through New Mexico and Ari-
IONA.
1t is true that the majority of In
dian girls have black hair and black
eyes, but it is equally correct to say
that there are many perfect blends
among them, with roseleaf complex
ions that a city bred woman would
envy them from the bottom of her
heart. Again, the complexion of the
Indian brunette is not muddy, but as
clear and de2icD;e as one would expect
In a woman who had led the ordinary
life of civilization.
AS a matter of fact. a proportions of
the full-blood Cherokee girls of to-
day would be thoroughly at home in
society and an ornament thereto.
They are almost always O. Gue figure
and graceful carriage, re only partic-
ularly noticeable feature that per-
haps detracts in measure from their
good looks being the high cheek bones
that are apparent in even the six,
teenth blood Indians. The voice of the
Indian girl is never hoarse or coS NE,
but low and musical
The average Indian girl of IS to-day
is possessed of good education. To
be sure, she is not a graduate of an
eastern female college, but she has
had ample opportunity to learn, and
has generally taken every advantage
of the chance thus afforded her. 1t is
no exaggeration to say that it is often
very difficult to distinguish one Of
these Indian girls who has married a
white man from the white woman by
whom she may perhaps be standing.
During the last quarter of CEN
fury the number of white men who
have married girls belonging to the
five civilized tribes has been astonish-
ing. 1t must be remembered that a
white man who marries an Indian girl
is generally adopted into the tribe to
which his wife belongs, and thereupon
receives many of the privileges of the
other members. Some people call
these whites 'squaw" men, but, just
the same, they are among the best cit.
liens of the naturalization Herald.

thrust it down between the rafters
and the plaster, grasped the wasps'

at once into the water.

PEELED to stand, and as the car jolted
or swung around corner she swayed
hanging to the strap, sprinkling the

Duty of Fighting Saloons.

Evangelist David says that when the
gospel gets inside, temperance natur-
ally follows. He is opposed to saloons,
but is sure they will be closed only
when the hearts of men are right with
God. Yes, but Brother David, is it not
easier to put the gospel in after the liq-
Tor is PVT out? Shall we not prepare
the way of the Lord by banishing the
drink demon? When Jesus found His
Fathers house being made a house of
merchandise, did He say: This is only
a branch evil, we must begin the work
of destruction at the root; when these
peoples hearts get right with God a
proper reverence for the temple will
naturally follow" Nay, verify.
He made a scourge and drove out the
evil doors. And while we labor I'M
ceasingly to lead men to God, recog-
nizing the gospel of the Lord Jesus
Christ as the root of all reform, let us,
in the spirit of the Master, and with the
same holy zeal, drive cut the despoil-
ers Of the human temple.-Union Sig
nal.

rose with him to a higher level. He
had sustained dignity of character
and conduct in all circumstances. His
nature was profoundly religious ma
ture, and with his religious convictions
mingled a chivalry which was perhaps
rarer still. Passion he had-an in
tensity of passion when he was reused
or opposed which burned and con-
sumed what stood in his way. 1t was
this passionate and emotional quality
which stood him in such stead as an
orator. But he was greater than his
oratory, greater than his deeds. 1t is
not what he did, but what he was,
which was felt most deeply and will
be longest remembered. Gladstone the
man, the extraordinary being who, for
more than 60 years, fascinated the
world in which he lived, overnIastered
it, compelled other men to DC his will

they, because he had qualities they had
not, because he was of other fiber,

MOTHERING FLEDGELINGS.
The Experience of n Man Who Tried
1t, But Starved the Little
Bird Family.

One would hardly believe that the
ordinary work of Mother Robin is
enough to wear out the patience and
endurance of an abie-bodied man, yet
such appears to be the case. A man
who doesn't in the Least mind travel
ing over the golf links hours together,
relates his experiences trying to play
mother to a nest of little robins, who,
by some accident, had been deprived
of their rightful mothers care. He
diligently set to work digging angie
worms, and supposed that he was full
filling his whole duty, when one of the
poor little songsters died. Upon eX-
animation of the body, which was re-
duced to skin and bone, the foster pa
rent came TO the conclusion that it
must have died of starvation.
Deeply grieved at his shortcoming,
he redoubled his efforts, determined to
at least save the other two. 1t was
not long, however. before a second one
died, evidently of the same malady.
The good man then resolved that what
ever the third one died of. it should
not be starvation, and took off his
coat and went to work in earnest. He
kept on with the diet of angleworms
until he found that his one little bird
was consuming from IA to IS yards of
angleworms day. This was too much
for his patience, and he proceeded to
substitute the more easily managed
diet of bread and milk, and other deli
cacies, which were. however, not near
ly so much to Miss Robins taste.
Wanting to discover whether he had
been catering to family of abnormal
appetites, our friend took to watching
the Methods of real mother bird. and
found that she fed her young every
two minutes. He tien consulted the
learned book upon birds and discov-
cred that II yards of worms a day,
with meals every two minutes, is the
average rate of feeding fedgelngs.
He has, therefore, quite decided that
he does not care to take up raising
birds by hand as business. These
little creatures have to eat not only
enough to grow on" but enough to
dress on, and fair proportion of their
food goes into feathers. Then, too. the
temperature of birds is very much
higher than that of human beings. and
they require fuel in proportion.--In-

VARIETIES OF EYES.
Adjectives Which Authors Apply to
Those of Gray. Blue, Black
and Brown.

Out OF a list of 10 adjectives direct
iy applied to gray eyes, no less than so
are descriptive of expression. If we
may believe the evidence of these
words, which were jotted down at ran
dom in the course of reading. almost
every shade of thought or feeling is
mirrored in gray eyes; and not only
do the words indicate great variety in
expression, but many of the qualities
which they represent seem diamet-
rically opposed.
Gray eyes are reserved and candid;
cold and cordial; roguish and sad or
pathetic; grave and genial; sinister
and guileless, earnest, true, amiable;
proud, yet tender. They may be keen,
sharp, piercing, penetrating, but they
are also soft, serene, mild pensive,
dreamy, trustful. They are often Sc
we're, yet as often are they sweet, tim
id, wistful, appealing or kindly beam
ing, loving, sympathetic.
Now, when we turn to descriptions
of blue, brown or black eyes, we shall
find that these are briefly compared
with the long and elaborate descrip-
lions of gray eyes, and that they usu-
ally refer to some popularity of size,
shape, colorng, or light, rather than
Of expression. a good example is the
description of Lorna Doones large
dark eyes, full of a shadowy light like
wood rayed through with sunset"
Brown and black eyes are almost al
ways represented as lustrous, while
luminous is most frequently used in
connection with gray eyes. Pathetic
is perhaps the adjective of expression
most often applied to brown eyes;
spiritual is seldom used to describe
other than blue eyes, but to these also
belongs the bad eminence of being
shifty, while black eyes are distin-
guished in the same way by the word
beady.
Gray eyes are perhaps oftenest.
characterized as honest; and the worst
that is commonly said of them is that
they are cold or steely-Lippincot

REMARKABLE DOGS.
The Animals That Are Used In the
Far North as Beasts
of Burden.

In Alaska the breed of dogs is red
dish-brown and the animals are as
much like wolves as dogs; they are
voracious and hardy and a team will
draw 500 pounds Forty frozen herring
or one salmon will support dog for a
day. They are not at all affectionate
and such thing as saving a mans life
is unheard of among them.
There is a powerful breed of dogs
along Smiths sound that does not hest
tate 10 attack the most ferocious wild
animals. These dogs hunt in pairs and
big bear is joke to them. One dog
can bring down reindeer and kill it in
a few minutes. Their thick coat is
tawny in hue and in winter a thick
fleece of wool covers them. They look
so much like wolves it is hard to tell
what they are at little distance.
Laborador has dogs so fierce that a
log of wood is tied to their necks to
render them less dangerous to men and
weaker dogs. In Kamchatka the dogs
are severely trained to haul heavy loads
across the ice and their tempers get
soured, consequently they are surly
brutes and their drivers manage them
by stunning them with blows over the
head, which is not very good for their
intellects.
Lapp dogs are about the size of a
Scotch terrier and look very much like
the lynx, with long shaggy hair of
varied tints. They will fight off the
wolves from reindeer. The dogs of Lap
land, Iceland and Greenland have a
long hair, curled tails, pointed noses
and ears and remarkably irritable tenn

MOUSE NEST IN HER COLLAR.
An Elderly Lady Passenger Causes
Excitement in "A Chicago
Street Car.

One mouse is generally enough to
stampede an asscmblage of women,
and the commotion attendant upon
the appearance of two or three TO-
dents is, of course, increased in pro-
portion, says the Chicago Chronicle.
1t does not matter that the mice may
be young, as was shown in a street
car during one of the recent cool aft
ernoons. One of the passengers was
an elderly woman who wore an old
fashioned fur cape with an immense
hearskin collar. Evidently the cape
had just been taken from a chest con-
tanning moth balls, for the odor OF
these preventives was powerful. The
car was crowded, principally by WON
en-, SO the elderly passenger was com
