The Cabinet Received Word That They
Arc Ready For War.
Harvard is ready for war This news
is official and exclusive. Only hand
full of persons, each of whom is sworn
to secrecy, have any idea of the active
preparations now going on in the uni
versity for the defense of the country.
f. M. Alger, son of Secretary Alger, is
the man who is in entire charge of all
the arrangements and he is acting
with such rare tact and effectual secrecy
that his movements are almost absolute
ly covered up, and even the faculty of
the college is absolutely in the dark as
to what he intends to do.
The first intimation given to the war
department concerning the defensive
measures on foot in the university city
was telegraphic dispatch sent recently
by young Alger to his father, in Wash
ington, to the effect that there was a
whole regiment of young students who
were only waiting for chance to get
into the thick of things. This dispatch,
which was read at recent cabinet meet
ing, was the sensation of the day.-Cin-

BATTLE WITH A BULL.
Pasadena Citizen Had an Exciting En-

Pasadena Citizen Had an Exciting En-
counter With an Angry Jersey.
While Eugene Rischard of Pasadena,
Cal, was leading big Jersey bull to
water the other day the animal became
enraged, snapped the stick fastened to
the ring in his nose and charged his
master and downed him. Mr.. Rischard
leaped to his feet and ran into narrow
chicken coop, slamming the door behind
him. There was no exit save through
the door, and the bull stood guard.
Finally Mr.. Rischard ventured out. The
bull promptly jumped at him, and this
time the man was not quick enough to
slam the door. The bull squeezed
through tie narrow opening into the
chicken coop, which is about 8 by 10
feet.
1t was an exciting moment Mr.. Ris-
chard crouched in the corner of the coop,
while the bull, believing and snorting,
pressed his horns against the mans
breast, goring and pinioning him. There
was no escape, and Rischard closed his
eyes and gave up. At that moment the
bull raised his head to toss him. Ris-
chard caught the bulls horns and, ex-
erting all his strength, climbed over the
bulls back and out to safety before the
Infatuated beast could back outward.
The man will recover. The bull was
shot, five bullets in the head being nee
essary.-San Francisco Examiner.

HERO OF THE MAINE.
FATHER JOHN CHADWICK, THE LOST
SHIPS "SKY PILOT"

He Was the Beloved Companion of the
Crew of the Ill Fated vessel-His Keen
Wit and Cheerful Disposition-Ho He
Tenderiy Cared For His Boys.
And while we are about this hero
business the horror of the Maine disas-
ter among other things demonstrated
just what kind of man a good priest
can be when the exigencies of war call
him out to do his ALL The hero priest
of the Maine is Father John Chadwick,
the "sky pilot" of the lost ship.
Father John, they call him in an af-
fectionate way. Ranking as a lieuten-
ant because of his holy office, he was
as much an able seaman or landsman
as he was an officer, and the sturdy fell
lows of the crew were even more fond
of him than the men of the wardroom.
1t is not often that "sky pilot" is a
popular parsonage aboard man of. war
He is a man of peace and he is the ty-
rant of Sundays. He interferes with the
free living pleasures of "the boys" of
the crew, and he is generally disturher
of liberties in so far as a sailor in port
will permit of his liberties being dis
turbed.
So the chaplain is not a person of low
ing kindness TO the average crew, and
that is one popularity of the navy
which brings Father John out in bold
relief. The bluejackets liked Father
John before the Maine disaster was a
terrible fact and they love him now
love him with that devotion which
comes to men who meet common dan
ger like men, love him for his tender
ness, for his constancy, for his contempt
of peril, for the glad hope which he held
out to the fellows who lay dying in
agony with the curse of hate upon their
SCARED lips.
Father Chadwick is an athlete as well
as priest. He could do things about
the ship which the best men among the
sailors could not do, and from the first
day of his service among the bluejackets
he was regarded by them as somewhat
of parsonage. He feared nothing ma
terial and that endeared him to the
men. When some unlucky seaman
would come back to the ship from shore
leave with black eye and broken
nose and shattered nervous system, it
was the athletic chaplain who condoled

with him, listened to his account of the
fight and cautioned him against a repe-
tition of his trouble. Somehow they
knew, these reckless daredevils of the
navy, that the "sky pilot" was good
man to tie to, and so, for the knowl-
edge, they listened to him when he talk
ed, were suppliant to him when he
counseled and were respectful to him
always, as "a man first and then as an
officer and a priest.
Then this parson militant had friends
in the wardroom. His wit was as keen,
his tongue as ready and his laugh as
merry as ever rang over mess table.
He can tell good story, he can parry
and fence with the clever men of the
land who gather as guests about the
navy tables. Father John was the
brightest of the bright men who used to
drink wine and crack jokes over the
board of the Maine. And then when
disaster came in the midst of peace
when the white ship shivered with the
spasm of death, lurched and went down

living to live on; he blessed the mortal
passing with his last breath of pain into
Immortality. He hung about the wound
ed until the closing moment and then
took the boat for the shore, to meet there
the grim duties which awaited him.
Father John put himself to his labors.
He hung about the wreck of the ship
and named the dead as they were found.
He spent nights at the wharfs, meeting
the bodies as they were towed in, and
gave personality to the shapeless things
which were presented to him. He walk
ed the lanes of pain in the hospitals
and said good things to his "boys" in

He did all this without plant or

house, house shaped like piece of

six years ago by poor man, who was
obliged to go TO the edge of the woods,
where land was cheap. for his lot and
utilized the trunks of four big spruce
trees, that formed square of l6 feet,
for the corner posts.
Pretty soon the poor man went west
to make his fortune, leaving his family
behind in the queer house. In five years
he returned as poor as when he left
He found that in the meanwhile his
family had risen in the world. The four
live corner posts had just grown up
about four feet and carried the house
with them. 1t is a good, solid house,
