gins began TO fire. 1t was amazing how
quickly that magazine was emptiedl
Now the rough riders were up and
yelling again. Onward they dashed,
and the boy went with them. In the
rush he was left in the second line; but
just as he finished slipping in the five
fresh cartridges, he reached the front
rank again. He fired ahead, because the
rest did; but it took him longer to
empty the magazine now than it dio
when lying down. There was spirited
scurrying, wild hurrahing, and the
Spaniurds had fed.
Now, when men began to breathe
again, and rest, and look about for
comrades, they espied Chuggins, or,
rather, noticed him, for the first time
Certain of the officers were among the
most curious. One of them strode
swiftly over to the boys side, rested
strong hand on his shoulder and looked
down inquiringly into his face. Some
thing in the mans features looked ia
miliar. Chuggins remembered a por-
trait that he had seen in the newspa-
pers.
You're Mr.. Roosevelt, aren't you?"
he asked.
"Yes, my lad; but who are youP"
"Name's Sperry, sir. Striker for
Lieut.. Hansel," Chuggins breathlessly
explained
"How came you here? Where did
you get that gun? What are you doing
with it?"
Col. Roosevelt did not look cross, but
he plainly meant to have the whole
story. So Chuggins told 1T briefly,
dwelling on the dead soldier whose
lips seemed trying to cheer.

sir" wound up the young narrator.
Fact is, think he'd have been glad to
have me put in few more shots for
him, and I'm glad / did,"
Weren't you scared Sperry?" asked
Col. Roosevelt, his face softening.
lawfully, for little while. but it
wore Off" came the candid reply.
Col. Roosevelt looked at him thought
fully. He knew that such a mere boy
had no call or right to be on the firing
nne, but such deeds and reasoning as
Chuggins offered must perplex lover
OF heroes; so he said, as had the SER
geant at Siboney:
"Sperry, don't know what to say to
you"
just then some one called the colonel
away, and Chuggins wandered about in
the regiment. He stayed with the.
troops after that, first with one regi-
ment and then with another. getting
farther and farther to the front as the
army advanced, going back to Siboney
only when some officer had n message
to send. That life just suited the bow.
There was always room for him at night
in some 'puphouse," as the soldiers
call their little shelter tents. He never
lacked for meal, helping in all the odd
chores of camp life that he could The
gun that he used at Las GUasimas he
had given up, and thus became an or.
dinary camp follower again.

spoken or thought, humanity has
cursed them ever since and everywhere.
And almost the world over the son of
the Romany has had nowhere to lay
his head, except, like his fellow nomad.
the beast of the field, he has made him
self some chance forest lair. All the
other people of the earth have united
in condemning him; they have been
unanimous in giving him bad name
and in giving it loudly. George Bar
row, who has written authortatively
of the gypsy people, said over so years
ago OF the gypsies of Spain-and the
same holds true to-day of all gypsies--
that there was nothing they retained
connected with their primitive rites
more characteristic of the sect of the
Romanys than the perfect family rela-
tions existing.

etudy the Egg Question.

A poultry breeder says bushel of
corn will produce six pounds OF pork
worth 25 cents, while this bushel would
keep a hen year, says an exchange.
She would lay at least 12 dozen eggs,
which, averaging ten cents dozen,
would equal $1.2o, and size would rear
a brood of chickens worth twice as
much more, making a, total of nearly
five dollars. Experiments made at the
Utah agricultural station seem to prove
the correctness of the statement made
above. Another paper says: Forty
dozen eggs will bring more than load
of hay, which requires great deal of
labor to produce and goods:zed patch
of ground to grow, besides lots Of
sweat" Study the egg question.

German sailor named Schulz, belonging
to the cruiser Kaiser, while on outpost
duty at Tsimo. the extreme German
post in Kiao Chau bay. The crime,
which was committed by Chinese rab-
bic on Monday night last, was not dis
covered until three men OF the corporals
guard were making the rounds TO re-
lieve the sentries. Then Schulz was dis
covered. his head having been severed
from his body. The relieving guard
was directly afterward attacked by a
hundred natives, and. after q stubborn
fight it is reported that all the sailors
were killed. Twelve natives were killed
during the fighting.
In consequence of the outrage the
greatest excitement prevails at Kiao
Chau. and it Is believed the incident
will form the basis of further German
demands upon China.
