damages, the claimants assert. were
incurred owing to the recent war with

known just how large an indemnity
will be asked for. by the Filipinos, bur
it is believed the aggregate claims will
reach several hundred thousand dol.

Trials of an "Animal Artist

When one commences to sketch a
cow that animal invariably takes her
departure, the sleeping lions at Central
park always wake up after few'strokes
of the pencil, and even the sluggish
snail becomes imbucd with an amazing
degree of swiftness if an attempt is
made to sketch him. Atleast, this is
the way it seems to the animal artist. y
y Baltimore oriOle acquaintance of
mine used repeatedly to come to the
edge of the cardboard on which l was
drawing, and eye the rapidly moving
pen with the greatest interest; but if
attempted to sketch him, he would fly
away Immediately. True, l was once
fortunate enough to catch the bright
bird at his bath, when he was so thor
oughly engaged in scattering water
over everything as to be totally unaware
OF my presence. Some animals are com
paratively easy to sketch, and some are
very difficult. The great elephant be-
longs to this latter class. He always APP

tion.--Meredith Nugent, in St. Nicholas.

skinned the animal and took out the viscera.
BY the time he had done, night had come
instead of seeking camp in the darkness.
So, wrapping the huge hide around him,
flesh side out, he lay down and slept very
comfortably until morning. On %awaking,
he found himself tightly imprisoned in the
hide, which had frozen hard in the night
and now resisted all his efforts to escape.
Hour after hour rolled by in agony to the
captain. He yelled at the top of his voice
for help and strained and kicked with all
his might at the rawhide enclosure, but it
proved stubborn to the last degree. He
doubtless swore many a bitter oath, for he
was of too irrascible a temperament to sub
nit tamely. He expected his comrades to
search for him, and they did, but with a
great deal of caution, fearing that he had
been killed by the Indians. His prolonged
absence could be accounted for in no other
way. He gave up all hope Of extricating
himself as the hours wore away, but help
which he had not thought Of, was to save
him from a death which would have been
extremely mortifying-at the least-to a
man who had escaped Indian, bullets and
swan icy rivers like a beaver. We will
let him relate the issue in his own words.

and foreigners all. Through the changing
years from that time until the present hour
the man behind the gun in the American
navy has been trained and watched and
guarded as carefully as a mother does her
offspring. He is taught that the guns of
the fighting battery must be regarded as the
apple of his eye and that their care should
be his first consideration.
A visitor to one of our warships will find
the various guns as spOtlessly clean as a
good housewives kitchen. The gunner's
gang on board each vessel is always at work
securing, polishing and Frightening. The
guns are taken apart at stated intervals and
the intricate mechanism of the breech given
special attention. 1t is worth a gunner's
warrant to have a spot OF rust discovered
on the bright work of a piece OF ordnance

All this is wisely ordered. The Amer

1t was after one OF the latter shots that
the forward turret OF the Oregon echoed
with a rousing cheer. Charlie, the young
seaman gunner had just dropped the firing
lanyard from his hand and 1t was seen that
the Colon's coming tower was in ruins.
He told me before he pulled the lanyard
that he would fetch it," exclaimed one of
the guns crew aGmiringly, "and he did"
These shots, absolutely marvellous under
the circumstances, were fired by men rep

The old g%unner's mate gained his skill
through years of experience; the seaman
gunner, scarcely of age, was the product of
a modern system OF training. Both were
American gunners, and that term means
something these days.

Eighty-slx years ago Great Britain, then
