COLONEL sHEEHAN's BRAVERY.

Suddenly We heard the voice of
Colonel Sheehan, of St. Paul, a
deputy United States marshal. We
could see the veteran Indian fighter
leading the advalce by the right
flank.
"You've got them whipped, boys;
you've got them whipped. Give it
to them, give it to them" the colonel
was yelling at the top of his voice.
Every time his voice WAS heard q
volley rang out, and every time it
was further away from US. After
wards we learned we had the colonel
to thank for our lives. {Et3a .E
The Indians had attempted to turn
our right flank and attack the civil.
ians on the beach. Thecolonel saw
US, realized our danger, and his gal
liant attack had undoubtedly saved
our lives. AS it was, the bullets
flew about our heads,and the stumps,
weeds and stones alb jut US were pep
pered for several yards.
When we realized the position the
colonel was in, we called to him to
get under cover, but he paid no at.
tention. He stayed with the men
until he accomplished his purpose,
and when we thought he was dead

weeds above us.
"l've been wounded, boys. I've
been wounded" we heard as the
weeds parted and the gallant colonel
fell TO the ground before US. We.
did not know how badly, but saw
two holes in his coat sleeve. - .azs
That's not it, he said as We turn,
ed back his sleeve. "Its my stom-

And we did so, We tore open
his clothes and found only small
wound, but blood trickling down.

About Submarine Cables

The number of submarine cables
throughout the world, is 1859, of which,
however, 1141 are coast and river
cables belonging to Governments, and
of comparatively small strategic value.
The total length of cable is 162,92s
miles.
France commands twelve cables of
G033 nautical miles in European
waters, and thirty-three cables of 26,.
356 miles in colonial waters; while Ger
many controls eleven cables of 304O
nautical miles in European waters, and
three cables. of 40 miles, in colonial
waters.
In times of war it hos always been
the practice for messages to pass with
out question through neutral States.
For instance, during the recent war,
kilograms between Turkey and Greece
were forwarded by way of Austria,
though direct communication was sus-
pended.
In the Chinese war there was no in
terruption of the telegraphic service
with China and Japan. But in the
event of war with France or Germany,
%, $50 miles of cable in the case of
France, and $3.50 miles in the case Of
Germany, would be deducted from the
mileage control of England. d.-Ram's

The Secret of sardou's Success

Victorien Sardou has lately attri-
buted his success as dramatist to
his handwriting. With some serious
ness he has been telling his friends
that after having tried many managers
without success, he finally sent La
Tareine des Etudiants" to the Odeon
Theatre In the hope that it might
make some impression there. 1t had
been placed on a table along with
half q dozen manuscripts from un-
known writers that were to be re-
turned without being read. They
were on table in the room in which
rehearsals were held, and by chance
the glance of Mile. Berenger, noted
actress of that day, fell on the pile OF
manuscript. Thoughtlessly she turned
several Of the pages over, and her
eve fell on the beautifully written
pages of Sardou's work.
"What wonderful handwriting"
she said.
Some of the actors with her glanced
at the writing. So did the manager,
and he decided to read the work
which was so carefully and clearly
written. The result was that the play
was accepted and the writer saved
from the troubles which were impend-
ing at that time. He is millionaire
to-day, but he was very near starya'
tion then. New York Sun.
