A SOLDIER OBEYED ORDERS.
Forgotten by His Commander He Stood
Guard After Regiment Had Gone.

Guard After Regiment Had Gone.
The District Of Columbia regiment
which had been stationed at Camp Alger,
Washington. was halted for a time on
the White Lot before taking the train
for Chickamauga. Private Ulysses Grant
Connolly Of Co. [ was detained TO guard
a lot of accoutrements and camp equi-
page that was piled UP on the turf await
ing transportation to the station. His
comrades were lined up a@d marched
away to the white house for review by
President Mckinley and through the prin-
cipal streets of the city to the special
train that was waiting to take them to the
big military rendezvous in the South.
Private Connolly, however, had been for
gotten. He stood in the blazing sun,
guarding the property placed in his charge
and waiting III vain for the order to join
his company. Hours passed and night
came on. but Connolly stuck 10 his post
Finally q bicyclist who CHANGED that way
say the solitary son of Mars and inquired
why he had not gone with the regiment.
Connolly told him that he had been or
dered to guard the property, and must
stay until relieved. But as his com
handing officers had gone, the order could
only come from the war department, so he
asked the youth to go there and ascertain
what should be done with the property in
his charge. On the way the bicyclist met
an ambulance on temporary commissary
duty, and on explaining the case to the
driver, the latter went to Connelly's as
sistance He offered to take the solitary
guard and the property in his charge to
the train, which was on the opposite side
of the city, but Connolly refused to bulge
without orders. SO the driver went to
the war department., obtained the neces-
sary order, and after loading the parapher-
MALTA and its custodian, drove rapidly to
the station. The District regiment, how
ever, had already gone and the faithful
guard made the Journey alone

New Song by a Chickadee.

When l spoke just now Of the worm
eating warbler's song as almost the only
new one heard in Virginia, says Bradford
TOrrey in the Atlantic, | ought perhaps
to have guarded my words. | meant to
say that the wOrm-eater was almost the
only species that | there heard sing for
the first time-a somewhat different mat
ter; for new songs, happily-songs new
to the individual Hstener-are by no
means SO infrequent as the songs Of new
bids On the very forenoon of which l
am now writing, | heard another strain
that was every whit as novel to my ear
as the worm-ea ter's-as novel, indeed, as
if It had been the work of some bird from
the other side of the planet. Again and
again it was given out, at tantaliZing in
tervals, and could not so much as guess
at the identity of the singer; partly, it
may be, because of the feyerish anxiety
| was in lest he should get away from
me in that endless mountain-side forest
Every repetition | thought would be the
last, and the bird gone forever. Finally,
as l edged nearer and nearer, half a step
al once with infinite precautiOD, l caught
a glimpse of chickadee. A chickadee!
Could he be doing that? Yes; for
watched him, and saw it done. And
these were the notes, or the best that my
pencil could make Of them: Twee, tWee,
twee very quick. tWitty, twitty; the
first measure in a thin-Wire-draWn tone,
the second a full, clear whistle. Some
times the three tWeeS were siurred al
most into one. Altogether, the effect was
most singular l had never heard any
thing in the least resembling it, familiar
as | had thought myself for some years
with the normal four-syllabIed song of
Parus carolnensis. For the moment
was half disposed to be angry-so much
excitement, and so absurd an outcome;
but on the whole it is very good fun to be
fooled in this way by a bird who hap
pens to have invented a tune of his own.

THE WINSOME SHAKER GIRL.
Is Near the Poets Ideal in All the
Sweet Endowments of Maidenhood.

Sweet EndOwments of MaidenhoOd.
"a Shaker girl comes very near the
poets ideal in all the sweet endowments
of maidenhood,' writes Madeline S.
Bridges of the Shakers Of Mount Leba-
non, New York, in the Ladies' Home
Journal. "She is frank, modest, gentle,
refined in voice and movement, and with
that utter Inconsistencies of self as
rare as it is delightsome in this age of
self-assertive femininity. The Shaker
boy-but why speak Of impossibilities ?
[ will not say that no Shaker was ever
boy, but l firmly incline to think that
no boy ever was a Shaker. The growing
youths at Lebanon were hearty and
healthy as outdoor air and exercise could
make them, and full of fun and mischief
the exuberant vitality that makes it
self heard and seen-this in striking con-
trast to the extreme quietude and pre-
cisiOn of the grOwn-up members.
ut is sometimes asked how Shakers
amuse themselves. A pertinent answer
would be that they DO not appear to
feel the need of amusement, because
their days and hours are so full of in
terest. Nevertheless, such need is pro-
vided for, two evenings in the week be-
ing set apart for social pleasures, con-
versation, music, recitation, reading
aloud, etc, in which both sexes partici-
pate. In summer pleasant outdoor reun-
ions are held.

The Foreign Breakfast.

The foreign idea of light breakfast
has become very popular in this country,
particularly among those who have ac-
quired the habit in France. Now, doc
tors are beginning to inveigh against it.
and with considerable show of reason. as
they point out that during the night oc-
ours ones longest fast. 1t should certain
ly be broken by something more than a
roll and coffee. since it ushers in the
hours Of hardest work for all our men
and most of our women. The rolls and
coffee are not fit preparation for such la
borious toll. They may do for a nation
of idlers, but not for as industrious folks

Historic Wedding Ring.

After the great battle of Edgehill,
fought when Charles [. was King of
England, it was noticed that one Of his
bravest officers, an ancestor of the pres
ent Verney family, was missing. Search
was made for the gallant soldier. Moth
ing was found but the gloved hand, still
clutching the royal standard, and the
wedding ring which he always wore still
encircled the finger. The ornament was
worn outside the gloved hand. With this
historic relic the Verney family of
Clayton, Buckinghamshire, England,
have solemnized all their marriage the
ordinary gold band always being substi-
tuted after the ceremony The latest
marriage in which this wonderful ring
was in use was that Of Sir Henry Yer

He is called the historic boy because

ENERGETIC ROYALTY.
Early Rising is the Rule with Queens,
Princes and Emperors.


Princes and Emperors.
Queen Victoria never goes to bed till
II o'clock and is awakened at in the
morning, when some cocoa and biscuit
are brought her. During the day she
does not, as many women half her age
90, take a refreshing nap.
The Prince of Wales is VIGOROUSLY
bad sleeper-insomnia being the only
enemy of his well-being-and the Prin-
cess of Wales, although she now allows
herself Ct extra hour in the morning,
made it a rule until her children were
quite grown up to be up and ready for
the days duties at o'clock. Having
breakfasted at $50, her royal highness
always repaired to the schoolroom i'm
medlately afterward, when the exercises
and copies" written the previous day
by her children were brought for her in
spectlOn. And this, although she never
retired before 2 o'clock in the morning
while at Marlborough house, for the
princess made it a practice, as so little
time was left her during the day, to
write her letters "home to Denmark"
after II o'clock at night, on her return
from the great entertainments during
the London season.
The Emperor of Austria is another
monarch who breakfasts with the lark,
while the Empress adopts much the
same hours as does hospital nurse, only
allowing herself a short sleep from IL
o'clock at night until 3 in the morning
when she rises and insists on the mem
bers Of her unfortunate suite doing the
same, and Immediately proceeds for
long walks in the mountainous regions
where she usually elects to stay.
The Emperor and Empress of Ger

War Dogs in the German Army.

Each company therein has a collie or
dog of similar breed trained to find
wounded soldiers on the field and convey
intelligence of their whereabouts to the
hospital corps. The dog carries a metal
lie case attached to his neck, containing
a pad and pencil, brandy and other res
toratives. If the soldier be not too Sc
verely wounded he writes his name on
the paper, which is returned to the case.
The dog hastens for help, and he who
might have been lost to his comrades is
rescued.
