Leary sent a launch to ask what the
Germans intentions were. There was
no bOmbardment.
Commander Edwin White looked
into portfolios of great Spanish man
of-war back in 1872 Then he sailed
into the harbor Of Colon, Central
America, and found the Spanish war
ship Pizarro blocking the American
steamer Virginius of filibUstering fame.
White was then temporarily in charge
of the Kansas, about Cne-fourth the
efficiency of the Pizarro. White sent
word to the Spanish captain to give
the Virginius a free field. The Span
lard replied evasively. White ran
his small warship between the Pizarro
and the Virginius. The Spaniard
cleared for action and ran his guns out.

One of the most daring exploits of
the civil war was that of James For
ney, who as a lieutenant was sent
ashore by Commander Bell at Texas on
the gulf coast to kill cattle fer the
crew Of the Brooklyn. The men had
completed their task when a body of
confederate cavalry was seen spinning
along the beach. Forneys detachment
signalled frantica1ly for the ships
boats to be sent to take them off, but
owing to a sudden shift in the tide this
could not be done. When the cavalry
was within a quarter Of a mile Forney
gave the order to plunge into the
surf, the men having previously taken
off their clothing for the swim The
cavalry opened fire on the swimmers
and although several were wounded
the entire detachment managed to pass
through the rain of fire and the danger
of sharks and reach the ships side
in safety. For this gallant act he was
brevetted a captain. Capt. Forney

BEHIND THE SCREEN.

My little house behind the screen,
1 keep my playthings there;
My shovel and my pail for sand,
My blocks and books and marbles anc
My little rocking chair.
My playmate on the hassock sits,
AS quiet as a mouse;
He never talks the whole day through
Or stirs, unless I tell him to,
Within my little house.
Alone with me he knows he's safe
From giants passing by;
And when we play it makes him glad
How many happy times we've had,
The rubber boy and 1!
He always needs just what I say
And knows just what | mean.
We don't believe that any man
Could build finer palace than
Our house behind the screen.

curious habit was observed was on the

st. Nicholas: Down in Mexico there
lives a woodpecker who stores his nuts
and acorns in the hollow stalks of the
yuccas and magueys. These hollow
stalks are separated by joints into
several cavities, and the sagacious bird
has somehow found this out, and bores
a hole in upper end of each joint, and
another at the lower through which
to extract the acorns when wanted.
Then it fills up the stalks solidly and

A QUESTION OF TIME.
On This Particular Occasion the Rule
Didn't Work

For mercy sakes, Henry!" ex-
claimed Mrs. F'limpson, as she entered
the room in full street costume, gloves
and all, haven't you begun to get
your things on yet? You know the
train goes at half-past and it will take
us at least fifteen minutes to walk to
the station. I never did see such a
man."
''Time enough" replied Mr.. Flimp-
| son, without looking up from his paper.
ct is only now, and there is no need
to start before twenty minutes past.
We can get to the station easily in
five minues, but Til give you another
five minutes leeway. Sit down and
make yourself comfortable, Mary.
J Don't get yourself in a furry"
But, Henry, my watch says ten min
utes past"
whoever knew a woman's watch to
be within an hour of being right? I
tell you, it is only 7.'
'But how do you know your watch
isn't slow?"
Because I know it isn't. You could
set the sun by that watch any day in
the year. Look at the clock if you
don't believe it."
But the clock may be wrong"
Bother! I tell you we've got lots
Of time; time to burn"
eff we don't get that train there isn't
another for an hour and half"
Don't make any difference if there
isn't another for month. You wom-
en- folks are always in such hurry!
| You want to hang around the gloomy
station for half an hour, I suppose.
Well, I don't Now make yourself
easy. When did you ever know me
to lose a train?"
"But, Henry"
II tell you we've got plenty of time.
Now sit down and make yourself
easy"
For ten minutes longer this went
on, Mrs. Flimpson getting more
uneasy every second and Mr..
Flimpson more tranquil. Finally he
laid down his paper, put on his shoes,
with provoking elaboration, then his
coat and hat, then sat down to draw
on his gloves. All this time Mrs
Flimpson was in a boiling state of i'm
r patience. She knew they'd lose the
r train; it was always the way, and al
l that sort of thing.
: At last they were off, and all the
S way to the station Mrs. Flimpson was
D two or three steps ahead of her spouse
. who would not hurry, the provoking
S thing! although Mrs. Flimpson in
t sisted that she could hear the trair
g coming.
When they got to the station
, strange to relate, the train had not de-
t parted; hadn't arrived, and didn't ar
: rive for five minutes. AS matter Of
i fact Flimpson's watch was right or
e the dot, just as he had said it was
9 and Mrs Flimpson had had all hel
fussing for nothing.

Missoula. May 30.-The sunshine OF
yesterday yielded last night to dull
clouds. and Memorial day dawned with
a heavy rain falling. This condition
of affairs prevailed till afternoon. and
interfered with the arrangements for
the observance of the day. The skies
cleared soon after noon. but the condi-
ton of the streets made 1T impossible for
the parade to be held.
AT l O'Clock. the hour appointed for
the parade. the university band gave a
short concert at the corner of Main
street and Higgins avenue, after which
the Grand Army veterans formed a line
and marched to the theater. The seats
in the Union heater could not hold the
large audience that assembled to give
evidence of their interest i'm the sacred
day n its deep significance. The
seats and galleries were packed full.
and there was standing room only half
an hour before the time for
the exercises to begin. The programme
was carried out as published in the
Standard. and was followed with close
attention by the large crowd.
The principal address of the day was
delivered by President Oscar j.. Craig
of the state university, and was a SPLEEN

The rest OF the programme was car
ried out according to announcement.
and the large audience did not mind the
length. but rather wished that there
was more. The decoration of the graves
at the four cemeteries was performed
this morning in the ain by the commit
tees appointed for that purpose. All
graves of veterans. those who wore the
blue and the gray. were covered with
flowers, and Chairman Sloane of the
committee that visited the Valley ceme-
termy. had his assistants decorate the
potter's field, where NJ friendly hand
bad placed the wreath of remembrance.
Ii was a happy thought, and n that
occasioned many pleasant

by private parties of family mounds
was more elaborate han usual this
year. despite the inclemency of the
weather. and the day was a satisfactory
one to the veterans despite the ain.
Judge Sloane said tonight: Each

of Memorial day. and the demonstra-

is the opinion of the old-timers and or
the tenderfeet and when these two
cliques agree the fact must be as stated.
Within the of the old-time
farmers who have been consulted in
the matter there is but one year when
the spring has been as favorable as this
one II, and that was just 10 years ago.
and IL is said that the crop record OF
that year has never been equalled since.
The warm sun and the Intervening
heavy rains of May have insured the
farmers a hay and grain crop and the
fruit men. while they have to take
greater chances. are confident that their
yield will he "a hummer. The trees have
all blossomed well and all of the condi-
tons at present indicate that there Will
be more apples and piums and other
fruits shipped from these valleys this
year than have ever been produced be-
fore.

1t appears that the damage to the
young trees i'm the Eight Mile valley
that was said to have been done by the
army worm was much exaggerated.
President Mcdonald of the orchard COM
pany says that there will not be a loss
of I per cent. of the trees that have been
planted this year, and that while the
army worms did some little damage II
was not permanent, and all of the trees
where the worms have operated have
come out all right. The larger part of
his new orchard was not touched. the
worms reaching only a small corner of
the field in which the trees had been
planted. This will be good news, as IL
was feared that the worms might do
much damage.
