Don Carlos manifesto warning Spain
that failure to fight the United States
means revolution at homo and the over
throw of the dynasty Is a phase of the
situation in Madrid that the Spanish
cabinet has had in mind all the while.
Carlos may be mere prctender, but he
IS a dangerous one at a time when, by
backing down. the Spanish government
would invite a revolt on the part OF the
ignorant populace.

The Girahe's Drink.

IF I were going to give a word Of
advice to a young man just embark
ing in the show business said the
old circus man, II should say never
let a giraffe drink out Of pond or
a stream, because he's almost Ger
tain to drink too much. You see,
the giraffe doesn really realize that
he's drinking until lie begins to take
the water into his stomach, and he
doesn't stop drinking until he's got
enough there. The result Of this is
that his neck is still full, long col
umn of water that he doesn' need,
but that he takes in just the same
and often with disastrous results. |
have known many giraffe to kill
himself by drinking too much, and
I feel that cannot do my young
and ambitious friends greater
service than by warning them OF
this characteristic. The giraffe
should be watered invariably from
a bucket. New York Sun.

AZ DIR. N1cCosh's Expense.

Tbs la,e DR.. McCosh Of Princeton
university was an excellent hand at
securing donations for that institu-
tion, and yet it was always his boast
that he'never asked any man for a
cent. In connection with this we'll
known trait Of President McCosh S
character 81 prominent educator OF
this city tells how one of the doc
tors friends and Chauncey M. De-
pew once conspired to mortjfy the
ner. It was arranged that the friend
should accuse the doctor Of begging
and that MI. Depew should follow
with a vigorous denial. In the first
speech it was asserted that DR.. Nc
Gosh made q practice Of calling upon
brokers in their Offices and remain
ing until, in sheer desperation, the
brokers gave him contributions to
get rid Of him; also that he attended
meetings Of various kinds for the
purpose Of taking up a collection for
Princeton at the end. -."..
During this address DR.. McCosh
turned white with anger and started
to reply, when the chairman recog-
nized Mr.. Depew.
II believe that all the accusations
made against orr Princetonian guest
are entirely without foundation, y
said MI. Depew. IT have never
heard Of hjs begging from broker. .
"Never! Never!' cried DR.. Nc
Gosh.
"And I never heard Of his attend
ing meetings called for other pur-
poses and begging for his univer-
sity.'
"Never!'' again echoed the doctor.
"The only time ever heard Of
anything Of that kind implied, con
tinued Mr. Depew, "was when I was
told that he stood Oh New York
street corner with a monkey and q
hand organ, wearing a placard, on
which was printed, I am poor and
blind; therefore please help Prince
ton.'' DR.. McCosh never attended

been heard Of, and when at last |
sat down with Mr.. Granger to learn
what we should do it struck me for
tho first time that there was some
thing queer about him. He did not
betray the disappointment one
would have expected, and l thought
he glanced at NC i'll 4 furtive, cum

his story again, and to my astonish
ment he doubled OH himself Flo had
said in the first place that his brig
was bound to Japan when lost.
He now declared that she was
homeward bound. He got his days
and dates mixed up, and if | hadn't
concluded that he was under the in

thought him crazy AS near as |
could figure out from the statements
he made the Red King was between
the capes Of Siam and the Philippine
islands when caught III the typhoon
and driven to the eastward. The
Philippines are counted by the hun
dred, large and small, and it would
not have been at all strange had he
landed on one of the Westernmost.
He agreed with me in my deduc-
tions, and the schooner was put
about and ran to the south for three
days.
When we finally got among the
islands, the difficulty was in locat-
ing the right one. Granger had been
swept ashore at night. He had land
ed on ono side Of the island and boen
taken off Oh another He claimed to
remember certain landmarks, how
ever, and for ten days we threaded
our way among the islands, and he
took long and close look at each
one. His queer demeanor passed
away soon after our talk, and |
found myself fully believing in him
again. No man could havo heard
his story and doubted it. He went
into each minute particular, and you
felt certain he had passed through
all he claimed, and back of all were

The Art and Mystery of Driving Hog.


The difficulty Of driving a single
hog was we'll illustrated at the foot
of Ninth street one afternoon. Some
men were driving a herd Of swine to
Amherst, and as they approached
the bridge one of the animals be-
came obstreperous and bolted to-
ward the city, becoming thereby
separated from the rest of the drove
The three or four men, assisted by
volunteers, placed themselves be-
tween the city and the rebellious
hog in a semicircle, while one Of
their number advanced cautiously
and began to tickle the hogs nose
with pine brush. This would make
the animal turn round, and each
time he did SO lie would move few
steps toward the bridge and the rest
Of the drove. The maneuvors were
watched with a great deal of inter-
est by a large crowd OF spectators,
and when finally the Wayward one
returned to the bosom OF the drove
a very audible nurmur of ad1nlra-
ton went up from the crowd

that tnoy were forced out at the
muzzle of a revolver. AS soon as
they were clear of the boat Granger
threw an oar over and began scull-
ing her back to the schooner, and
all our shouts brought no response
from him. No man but q sailor
could have used that sculling oar as
he did, and one and all remarked it.
What sort Of trick was he play
ing us2 Each man asked this ques-
ton of another, but no one could
answer. When he had returned to
the schooner alone, his pretense was
that he had forgotten something,
but no sooner had he reached the
deck than he ordered the men into
the boat. AS he was armed and look
ed dangerous, they did not think it
wise to resist.
Well, here we were, eight of us,
ashore on small island and an in
sane man in possession of the an
chored schooner, and council last
ing an hour did not bring any salts
faction. The man had firearms, and
we had only our knives. It would
have been no trick at all to swim off
to the schooner but for the sharks.
Look where you would, you could
SEQ their dorsal fms cutting the wa
ter, and it would have been rank
folly to swim 30 feet from the beach.
After awhile we retired from the
beach and took tramp over the is
land.
We found fresh water and fruits,
but no signs that the place had ever
been inhabited by man. The goats
numbered fully 200, and the original
pair had probably been landed by
some Whaler or had foated ashore
from some wreck. AS the weather
was warm we were not SO badly off,
but of course we were anxious about
our position.
Granger was certainly insane. He
could not run away with the schoon-
er, but he might sink her at her
moorings or set her on fire. He re-
fused to show himself or answer our

with him. It might have been OH
the twelfth day Of our search that
we came to his island, and the find
ing of it gave me a queer feeling.
There were no such landmarks as he-|
described, nor was the lay Of the
ground according to his description
1t was totally different island in
size and appearance, but he stoutly
insisted that It was the ono he had
come in search Of.
We carried deep water to within
half a mile Of the beach, and then
tho schooner was anchored and we
pulled ashore in the yawl. This was
just after noon Oh a certain Wednes-
day. There would be plenty of time
to overhaul the island and get the
more valuable stuff aboard before
dark. The schooner was snugged
down and three men left aboard.
and it was only when the boat was
ready to set us ashore that l told the
crew the nature of our errand.
We had come to carry away a
great. treasure, instead of looking
for castaway sailors, and Mr.. Gran
ger authorized mo to say that each
man might look for q handsome
present IN gold coin when the plum
der was safe aboard This put ev-
erybody in good spirits, and Gran
gers demeanor was such that had
no doubt Of beholding and handling
those boxes and kegs within an hour.
We landed on a sandy beach, and
Granger headed into the forest with
out hesitation. After walking for
half ali hour he began to recognize
certain landmarks and said the
treasure was not far off. Just at
that moment we entered 4 we'll beat
en- path and saw two OF three goats.
Ho had never said a word about
there being goats on the island, but
did not give it more than q passing
wonder. He cried out that some
, thing had worked into his shoe and
for us to keep right Oh till we reach
ed the rocks, and as he sat down and
began unlacing his shoe we went
ahead along the path.
!. We found no rock. We Found 9th.
er paths and saw other goats, and by
, and by we had crossed the little is
\ land and stood on the beach. Gran
ger had not yet joined us, and after
] waiting Is minutes sent one of the
men back. He had not only gone te
n the spot where we left the men sit

halls, and when night came was
inclined to believe that he might
have committed suicide.
We made our beds on the grass
that highland slept soundly enough,
and when morning came and Gran
ger still refused to answer our halls
we began the work of building a
raft to float us to the schooner. This
work was carried OH around the
point where he had landed the men,
and by noon we had knocked to-
gether a structure which would float |
at least four of lie.
1t this raft We're dragged around
the point, the tide would set it down
on the schooner, but we had to wait |
until 10 o'clock at night to get both |
darkness and tide in our favor.
Then I selected three men to accom-
pany me and started Oft. If Granger
were Oh the watch, we were sure
to meet with warm receptions, but |
crouching low on the raft we drift
ed down on the schooner's broadside
and were t'challenged. Five min
utes after getting aboard we found
him hanging by the neck in the
cabin, and the state of the body
proved he had been dead for hours
Who was Granger? I discovered
that he was not the New York ship
owner OF that namo. He had been
cast on an island, but the Red King
was not wrecked. He had proofs
with him in the shape of pearls and
coins, but whore was the island? He
had paid a round price to charter
the vessel, but seemed to have no
other object in view than to trick
us. He had over $4,000 in cash
among his effects, and although it
was turned over to the authorities
at Cape Town they havo never
found an heir to it. We believed he
had been a sea captain, but the lists
showed no such man for years past.
No man could say he was insane,
but why did he commit suicide9 A
score of other questions might be
asked, but they would throw no
light on the mystery. I sailed the
schooner back to the cape and made
a report OF the case, and though 20
years have passed away the real
identity of the man has not been es-
tablished or his singular conduct ac-
, counted for. That he was All Ameri-
can l am sure, and he seemed to
know all about New York; but not
, one of the advertisements regarding
him III the American papers ever
a brought reply. He simply came
a and went and left a mystery behind
, him.
