MINES IN THE RIVER.

The work of removing the mine fields
In the Potomac River near Forts WASH
ington and Sheridan is progressing slow
ly but steadily and by tonight the entire
network OF submarine ,errors which has
caused so much Inconvenience to vessels

The work is being carried on under the
direction of Col Alien, US. A., who is in
charge of the improvement of the Poto-
mac River.
The destructive force 81 500 pounds of
dynamite is great They will blow to

and Washingfonians- will -miss the grand
sight which is in, store for the residents
of many other cities. 49,
Col Allen has several reasons for de-
string to remove the Potomac mines with
out exploding them. He. believes that
it can be done without loss of life, and he
wants to preserve them for future use and
thus save the Government time and ex-
pense in protecting the wafer approaches
to the Capital City should any future
emergency arise.
The first mine was taken up on Mon
day The Government snagboat, a queer
looking, fiat-bOttOmed craft very much
like the ordinary mud scow, was used for
the work. A dozen mines were removed
the first day. They are Of the kind that
are exploded by the shore current. All
that have been removed since then are
OF the contact variety. and the greatest
care has been exercised in taking them
out OF the water. The work is now near
ing an end, and 1t is thought that the
river Will be cleared of mines by tonight.

PRACTICAL KINDNESS.
One Hundred Thousand Grateful SOL

These war times have tried mems souls
in many unexpected ways, but like shaft
Of sunshine and good cheer out OF the cloud
of privaton and endurance has been the
work that The American Tobacco Co. has
done among the U. s. Soldiers and Sailors
ever since the war began-for when they
discovered that the camps and hospitals
were not supplied with tobacco they de-
cided to provide them, free Of cost, with
enough for every man, and have already
given outright to our Soldiers and Sailors
over one hundred thousand pounds of "Bat-
AK Plug" and Dukes Mixture" Smoking
Tobacco, and have bought and distributed
fifty thousand briar wood pipes, at total
cost of between fifty and sixty thousand dol.
lars.
This work has been done quietly and
thoroughly, by establishing headquarters
in each camp, so that every camp and every
hospital of the United States Army has
been supplied with, enough tobacco for
every man and the sailors on thirty
United States Ships in Cuban waters have
shared with the soldiers this most welcome
of all "rations."
Perhaps it will be only fair to remember
when we hear the remark again that
Corporations have no souls" that there
is one American corporation whose soul
has been tried and has not been found
wanting in practical kindness"

DOG AND CAT CHUMS.
Pussy Catches Squirrels and Rabbits
Points Game Birds and Adopts
Kitten.

Farmer John Cooks brindle cat Cuba
points quail and catches young gray
squirrels in the mountain back OF his
house. Cuba's chum is three-year-old
shepherd dog named Charley. They do
not hunt together, but on returning
from her excursions after small game
to the fields and woods close by, Cuba
purrs around the dog, rubs her sleek
fur against his neck, and puts her nose
to his, as if to tell of her success.
''She gets squirrel or a chipmunk
nearly every day." says Billy Cook,
"and she knows where to find young
rabbits. She's tried hard to find the
nest of couple of quails that have just
raised brood in the field next to oNr
house. Once found her pointing one
of the old ones. The bird was sitting
on stump, with its back to her. If
1 hadn't come along she'd have crept up
and nabbed it, sure"
Cuba's special pet is maltese kitten,
two weeks old, belonging to another
cat. Cuba's own litter, being ugly, and
there being no demand for more cats
on the Cook place, were all drowned.
If they'd lived they'd now be about the
age of the maltese kitten, which has
been named Puerto Rico. Cuba grabs
Puerto Rico wherever she finds him and
runs off to fondle and nurse him.
Puerto Rico's own mother looks on with
no apparent objection when the brindle
cat carries away her offspring by the
back of the neck. Sometimes all three
the maltese, the brindle and the NAL
tese kitten-lie down together in the
sun and snooze. The kittens mother
seems to approve of the foster mother;
she licks the brindle cats fur and
shows the most evident good feeling
toward her. At times when the kit
tens own mother grabs her kitten by
the scruff of the neck and carries her
off, the brindle cat roams disconsolate-
ly about, uttering plaintive cries.
At these times she is likely to go of
on little hunting expedition all by
herself. One day last week she brought
in long-tailed field mouse and laid il
down under an apple tree in the yard
retiring to a distance of foot or two
as if to encourage the poor creature tc
escape. Thegrass was wet and the field
mouse couldn't jump far. After hall
dozen leaps Cuba caught it and brought
it back. The mouse didn't seem to be
injured, but it couldn't jump more than
two or three inches at time. 1t looked
half dead of fright. Chickens were
feeding in the yard, and one of then
picked up the mouse and ran. The cat
ostentatiously looking away, was dunn
founded on turning its head toward it:
victim to find that it had disappeared
With ludicrous leap that carried hel
four or five feet puss sprang forward
snarling, fur bristling, and eyes popped
She hadn't seen that the chicken haC
her prey, but her appearance was 81
fierce that the feathered thief dropped
the mouse and ran squawking away
Puss then ate the mouse at two mouth

HE STUCK TO THE FLAG.
The True Story of Young Southern
Midshlpman Who Was Faith
full to Uncle Sam.

They tell story, true, unvar-
nished story, of him that touches the
patriotic chord of every man in the
navy who happens to hear it for the
FIRST time. The civil war had just
broken out, when brother was to meet
brother and fathers shouldered their
muskets to kill sons. The Niagara
had Just come home from the Asiatic
station, proud and as impregnable as
those days as the Iowa or the Puritan
is to-day. Getting into soundings, the
boys heard the news, the sad news that
threatened to divide a union, the
grandest and greatest that God had
ever blessed and that men had ever
fostered. The word came aft in the
usual way that bad news travels and
shipmates of many days looked at one
another, shook their heads and said:
you're a southerner, Jack. can't
fight you!"
"And you, Bill, are northerner.
I'd be dog to fight you!"
That was the spirit and they the
men. The south wanted men, wanted
them badly. The north called for pa
tri0ts and hands went to the gun
butts. But it was hard to ask those
of the Niagara, north Us well as south,
to draw arms against one another.
Military laws recognize no other laws
where military laws rule, and it just
had come to the moment when the
captain of the ship had to ask how
many of his old shipmates and friends
cared TO stand by the old flag. He
called her officers together, and as
they gathered about the long, old-fash-
toned table in the old wardroom, he
said TO them, his voice trembling with
expectancy with every word:
Gentlemen, this question of the
civil war is the parting of the ways.
Some Of us will never meet again and
some oi MS will die doing what we be-
lieve TO be right Uncle Sam has edu
Gated fed and clothed us, and we have
sworn to stand by him. Yet no oath
can bind man beyond the strength
of his conscience, and changed con-
ditions make changed man, On that
table have written out the dear OLD
oath of allegiance. have signed it,,
/ stay by the flag. Let each of you
go to his cabin and think it over; then
LET him come back here and sign be-
low me or let him 60 his way in
peace"
Then they went away, white faced
aad undetermined. A half hour passed
before the first man came back tP
pnthi name to the paper that meant
that URclerSam could have his life if
needs, but not his sword. Then others
followed until nine names appeared
