A COMRADES PART.
Jim NesbIt by superhuman Efforts
Lifts "A Fallen Tree from His
Partners Crushed Form.


While Thomas Gentle, mining ma
chinery expert of Green Lake, Wis.
was prospecting with Jim Nesbit near
Jevins inlet, 20 miles from the nearest
camp, log rolled down the hill on
them. Nesbit wiggled from beneath
the huge trunk, but Gentle was pinned
between the log and a big rock, re-
ports local exchange.
Though realizing that he must die,
his partner watched beside him for
two days and nights, seeing his life
slowly going out, before he succeeded
in prying up the tree and pulling his
crushed body free.
Nesbit then went for help, but In
dans were the only human beings he
could find. He gave them 500, all he
had, to carry the dying man to the
camp at Nananda, 80 miles away,
After covering Is miles, the Indians
refused to go further.
Nesbit then gave poor Gentle's pail
bearers his gold watch, which induced
the Indians to cary their burden five
miles further, when they again halted,
saying. mo use carrying dead man"
Nesbit whipped out n revolver and
told the Indians that there would be
more dead men around If they did not
move on, and at the point of re-
volver. 10 more miles were covered by
the Indians, when they abruptly
dropped their burden and fled into the
woods. Three days after Gentle
reached Vananda, his litter being
borne by his comrade. He died two
days after reaching there, which was
eight days after the accident.
False syntaE Corrected.
There appears to be no end to the
humor of examination. Here is the
latest story that has come to us, and
that to us, at least, is new. 1t appears
that at an elementary examination in
English which was lately held in a
school near New York city two seu-
fences were given out to be corrected
by the younger scholars. The first
sentence was TO be corrected as to its
subject matter and the second as TO its
FyntaX. These were the sentences:
THE hen has three legs"
"Who done it?"
When the papers were handed in IL
was found that one of the examines
had apparently regarded the sentences
as subtly connected in thought, for his
answer was as follows:
"The hen didn't done IL: God done IT,"

Give savnnnnh a Chance.

In a letter which we publish this morn
ing from Tampa it is stated that If It
should ever rain" there, the site OF the
encampment Of the Second Georgia Regi-
ment would be a foot under water, and
in another place that the water there is
very bad. If troops were brought 20 Sa-
vannan, where the drainage is excellent
and the water abundant and pure, the dis
comforts and dangers of a wet sleeping
place and bad water would be eliminated.
There is, indeed, no reason why the 1900
troops called for by the Presidents late
proclamation SHOULD not be concentrated
here. It is the nearest point to the field OF
operations that can accommodate such
body Of men. Savannah is well located
and supplied with conveniences for the mo-
bilizatlon of an army. There is an album

may be had free, or SO nearly free thar

The harbOr is deep and large and a rail-
road belt runs within fifty feet of the
river on the water front of the city. AS a
point for receiving and forwarding sup

systems. The strong forts at the harbor
entrance make the base perfectly secure.
If the war is to continue for a considerable
time-and the end of it is nowhere in sight
it is important that a large encampment
and base of supplies should be established,
and no other city and port offers as many
favorable conditions as Savannah.

Bigoted and Bloodthirsty.

The month of the Ramadan in which the
first part Of the Koran is said to have been
revealed, is observed as a fast by all Mo-
hammedans, says the Youths Companion.
The fast extends over the whole month
of raging heat" and involves extraordi-
nary self-denial and self-control. No food
or drink of any kind may be taken from
daybreak until the appearance of the
stars at nightfall.
The rigor with which Mohammedan OBJ
serves this fast, and the great gulf be-
tween its observance and obedience to the
moral code, are illustrated by a story told
in the life of one of the heroes of India,
Maj. John Nicholson.
While Nicholson, in 1854, was deputy
commissioner in Bannu, native killed his
brother and was arrested. He was brought
before Nicholson on very hot evening"
looking parched and exhausted, for he had
walked many miles, and at was the month
OF Ramadan.
why" exclaimed Nicholson, 'is it pos
sible that you have walked in fasting on
a day like this!'
Thank God" answered the Bannuchl,
II am a good fasterp'
'Why did you kill your brother?"
II saw a fowl killed last night, and the
sight of blood put the devil in me-"
He had chopped up his brother stood
a long chase, and been marched an here;
but he was keeping the fast" wrote the
commissioner to a friend, that he might
know what sort of blood thirsty and bigot-
ed people he, Nicholson, had to govern
One day a wretched little child was
brought before the commissioner He had
been ordered by his relatives of the
Waziri tribe, to poison food.
Don't you know it is wrong to kill peo-
ple?" asked Nicholson.
Il know 1t is wrong to kill with knife
or a sword" answered the child
"Why?"
Because the blood leaves marks" an
swered the trained prisoner.
A Pathan chief, who fell by Nicholson's
side in a skirmish, left a little son, upon
whom the English officer lavished care and
attention. One day the 7-year-old boy
asked his protector to grant him a special
favor.
Tell me first what you want"
only your permission, sahib, to go and
Kill my cousins. the children of your and
my deadly enemy my uncle, Faitri Khan"
ITO kill your cousins?" exclaimed the
Englishman. Mortified at the answer
Yes. sahib, to kill all the boys while
they are young; it is quite easy now"
You little monster! Would you murder
your own cousins?"
Yes, sahib; for if I don't. they will GER
tainly murder me-"
The little boy wished to follow Pathan
usage and thought it very hard that his
guardian should prevent his taking so
simple a precaution.

The street Railroad situation.

If the street railroad people are correctly
reported as 10 what they say they will
and will not do, some of the streets are
to be INSTRUCTED by unused tracks and
unused sidings until next fall, on the
plea that the city will not permit the soil
to be uptured. An abandoned street rail-
road track should not be permitted to be
an eyesore and an obstruction to
travel on any such plea, 1t may be
that the railroad people intend to make
the same plea in respect to crossings on
unpaved streets which they have torn up
and not repaired.
1t strikes us and the average citizen
probably has the same opinion about the
matter, that it is the duty of some one to
try 10 deprive the street railway company
of its hoodoo power, which enables it TO
do pretty much as it pleases, and compel
it to comply with its obligations to put
the streets it tears up, in making changes
in its tracks. in as good condition as they
were before they were disturbed.
1t requires a firm hand to compel the
street railroad company to fulhH its obliga-
ton to the city. Is there any one having
authority in the city government to whom
the people can look for assistance in this
matter of INSTRUCTED and unrepaired
streets? If there is the people would like
to hear from him at once If there isn't
the fact ought to be known so that citi-
zens would cease to worry themselves
over the refusal of the street railway com
pany 10 do what individual citizens are
compelled TO do, namely, remove obstruc-
tons from the streets and make repairs in
the streets for which they are responsible.
| The health of the city is not endangered
by such work, and the excuse for not
making the repairs and removing the OBJ
structons, namely, that the city will not
permit the upturning of the soil at this
! time, is not a valid one.
But why was not the work done long
ago? Why was it not done before May 1?
We have said, and we repeat it, that in
dealing with the street railroad company
the city must show more frmness than it
has yet or else the company will be mas
ter of the situation-will feel about as

pictures have been taken with cameras
carried up by kites and snapped by cur
rent carried on a fine wire along the con-

if Commodore Schley had been provided
with one or more scientific kites carrying
cameras, he could soon have ended the

A COW recently entered the Wisconsin
political situation on a deadhead pass,
and is now making things quite lively. 1t
is charged by the opposition that when
Gov. Scofield moved from his home in
Oconto to the state capital at Madison,
he sent his COW by express upon a COM
plimentary frank given him by the COM
pany. Later the Governor found il nee
essary to veto an act passed by the legis-
lature imposing taxation upon express
companies. The Governors enemies are
saying there is direct connection between
the ranking of the COW and the veto
ing of the legislative act. The COW is
