Peter Mix, butcher of Aurora, ILL.,,
slaughtered calf which easily broke
all the ostrich records in the country
The calf, formerly IL pet in the family
of Robert +. Menenguin, a farmer liv-
ing fifteen miles from Aurora, had en-
ioyed the liberty Of the grounds about
the farmhouse, and seems to have
eaten everything it wanted. In its
stomach, when killed, were found
silver spoon, table fork, Il small salt
cellar and an ordinary curling iron,
such as school girls often use and
sometimes mislay.
How long these tritling helps to
appetite had lain in the stomach of
the calf no one could tell, but in the
case OF the curling iron Farmer Menen-
gum thinks the feast must have oc-
cured three months ago. The calf
was in perfect health and had enjoyed
an unimpaired digestion as to ordi-
nary foods up to the morning OF form
ing Butcher Mixs acquaintance.
And yet the cOatings of the stomach
had conformed to the outlines OF the
articles mentioned, showing their long
residence there. The butcher is an
honest man, and as he had not know
ingly purchased the tableware and
toilet articles he wrapped them in
paper and is holding them until the
farmer drives into town.
As to the rest of the story he has
called in number of reputable men
to support him in the assertion that II
calf can eat cutlery and glassware
without injury to its constitution.

the city Tor number OF months. and which
the city proposes now to exercise.

prominent families. 1t is said that one
of the young women implicated, who
has since moved to Boston, has had tho case
pushed in her behalf, and that this Is the re-

concerned is rumored to havetaken place IN

was owned either by young Coffin or by the
estate OF his father. Coffin and number
of his chums have been in the habit OF
spending Sundays and holidays there. Some
of these escapades are reported to have been
of the Seeley dinner stamp, and to
have disturbed some OF the neighbors.

one which led to this elimination was

thing wrong in the doing at tho camp house

young men may have been little indisceeet.

Historic Island.
In the island of st. Helena. where
the white Napoleon ended his days
II prisoner to the English, a black Ma
poeon is living now, also prisoner.
it is II singular chapter Of condolences
which seems to mite the fortunes of
the house OF Bonaparte aid the house
of Chaku. Early in the century, when
Napoleon was overrunning Europe
with his armies and dazzling the minds
of men with his genius, an English
sailor was wrecked on the African
coast and wandered into Zululand.
He was taken before the Young chief
Chaka, aud to him he told of the won
derfu outside world of which the
chief had heard rnmors, and as all the
world was then filled with the name of
Napoleon he told of the rise of the
Corsican, and how he had conquered
nations and built up for himself II great
empire. The story of Napoleon cap
tured the fancy of Chaka, and he re-
solved to he an African Bonaparte.
Then began the rise of the great
Zl,u power in South Africa, and Chaka
spread his conuuests over great terri
tories, and subiugated neighboring
tribes and built for himself an empire.
1t ilourished until it broke itself to
pieces against the English, just as the
empire of the man whose name had
inspired its building did before it. The
em) ire established by Chaka stretched
ong the whole southeast seaboard OF
Africa. from Limpopo to Cape Colony,
and extende far inland.
When the English landed in Natal
in 1924 the empire of the Amazulu
was the most powerful in Africa.
Chnka made treaty with the Eng
lish, allowing them to live in Natal,
and for this he was killed by k:e i'-2..=-
er. Dingaan, in 1SNs. men began
the struggle between the white man
an the black man which was to cad
in the destruction of the empire
founded by Chaka. Peace and war al
terna ed, and all the time the Zulus
lost ground.
Fin lily, in lS33-S4 the British felt
bound to blot ont the Zulu power.
Then it was that Cetewayo, the heir
of Chaka, summoned forth his whole
force aud hurled his 'impis' or regi-
meats, ON the British. At Isandula
the Zulus broke the British squares
and routed the redcoatS. but the end
was he capture OF the chief and the
breaking of the Zulu power.
In this war the house of BOnapa' tie
again became mixel up with the for
tunes of the house of Chaka. The
Prince Imperial, granddaughter of the
man whose example had inspired the
building of the empireof the Amazulu,
went ont to fight in the ranks OF
the English AMI was killed by a
Iulu spea'. In 1884 Cetewayo died
and the quarrel was continued by Hrs
son, Dinizulu. Dinizulu was con,
quercd, and now lie has been sent to
St. Helena to end his days on the spot
where the man whose example caused
the building up of the black kings
empire died.
As becomes the head of great and
warlike line, DiniZulu is accompanied
in his exile by numerous retinue.
His two uncles, several chiefs, Il ply
siciar and clergyman, with their
wives and children, make up house
hold as numerous as was that OF the

Death in Insane Asylum OF Scott

WAvERLEY, Mass, Jan. 21-The sudden
death OF Mr.. Scott leighton at the Mclean
asylum here OF pneumonia is great shock
to the public and his artist associates. He
was taken to the asylum about three weeks
ago, suffering from mental trouble, from
which he would under care and rest have
been restored to health, but severe
cold which he contracted resulted fatally.
He was born in Maine, receiving his
education In the public schools. In his early
days he developed taste and talent for
drawing, especially OF animals, but received
little ENCOURAGEMENT. When he was 17,with
a ca pital Of some $4,000, he started for Port
land, determined to gain livelihood by
painting, but soon realized that 1t was not IL
very lucrative employment, and he went to
Providence, where he engaged In the fancy
furniture business. He continued in this
business until the concern failed, and then
started out again, making his specially as
an animal painter. He subsequently brought
up in Boston, where his ability was soon
recognized, and established his reputa-
ton as one OF the most famous animal
painters of the day, being often referred to
as the "Landseer OF the United States
Among some of his most noticeable exam
pies are "The Fearnaught Stations"
'sHere They Come" "In the Stable "Wait-
ing" "On the Road" Dogs "Smuggler.'

others. Mr.. Leighton was man of genial
disposition, generous and always willing to
