CAMELS HARBOR HATRED.
They Wait Patiently for a Long Time
Until Opportunity Arrives
for Revenge.

The Arab who has angered camel
will throw his clothes upon the ground,
and the Infatuated beast, after stamp
ing on them and tearing them asunder
with his teeth, goes on his way, and the
driver is thereafter quite safe, as it
seems to be an, axiom with the camel
that no man shall be put in peril of life
twice for one offense.
The camel is stupid, save when angry
and then seems to become almost pre-
ternatural in carrying out it's vengeful
designs. Palgrave relates the follow
ing story of camel's revenge. which
serves to illustrate this point: "a lad
Of IA had conducted a.large camel laden

time was not long in coming. 4 few
days later the same lad had to recon-
duct the beast, but unladen, to his own

from any habitation. the camel sudden

in every direction to assure itself that
no one was in sight, and, finding the
road clear of passers-by, made n step
forward, seized the unlucky boys head

him up in the air, flung him down again
on the earth with the upper part CT his
skull completely torn off. Having thus

FAITHFUL TO BILL.
How Little Samoan Boy Tried to
Find an American Sailor Who
Was His Friend.

.'Amatua's Sailor" in Mr.. Lloyd Os-
bourne's story in st. Nicholas, is an
American sailor named Bill, and this is
the way the young native boy Amatua
tried to find him after the great storm
at Apia, Samoa, in 1889:
When he came back from German
town he found a band playing in front
of Mr.. Moore's store, and noticed sem
tries about the place, and important
looking officers, with swords and pis-
tbls. He was told that the admiral was
upstairs, and that Mr.. Moores' house
was now the headquarters of the Amer
lean forces. A great resolution welled
up in Amatua's heart. If there was one
man on earth that ought to know about
Bill, it was the admiral. Amatua
lodged a sentry, and, running up the
steps, he crept along the veranda and
peeped into the room which Kimberly
had exchanged for his sea-swept cabin.
Ehe admiral sat at big table which
was strewn inches high with papers,
reports and charts. He was writing in
his shirt sleeves, and on the chair be-
side him lay his richly embroideredco coat
ard gold-laced cap. At another table
two men were also writing; at another
"a single man was nibbling pen as he
stared at the paper before him. 1t re-
minded Amatua of the pastors school.
Half a dozen officers stood grouped in
one corner, who were whispering to
one another, their hands resting on
their swords 1t was all as quiet as
church, and nothing could be heard but
the scratch of pens as they raced across
II Nv ir1tr off

boy" and Amatua was ANONYMOUSLY

seized, led down stairs and thrown
roughly into the street.
Amatua cried as though his little
heart would break. He sat on the front
porch of the house, careless of the
swarming folk about him, and took q
melancholy pleasure in being jostled
and trampled on. Oh, it was a miser-
able world! Bill was gone, and anyone
could cuff little boy who wasn't big
enough to hit back. He wished that he.
too, lay numbered in that pallid row
which he had so lately passed, asking
nothing, wishing nothing, but a few
spadefuls of kindly earth. More than
one sailop patted his curly head and
lifted him in the air and kissed him; but
Amatua was too sore to care for such
attentions. Cruel it was to think that
the one man alone in Samoa who knew
where to find Bill, the great chief-cap-
tain upstairs, was absolutely beyond
his power to reach. This thought was
unbearable to the little boy. He nerved
himself to try again; he recalled the
a6mirals grim face, which was not un-
kindly. though sad and stern. After
all. nothing worse could befall him
thanea beating. Again he lodged up the
stairs like cat. Again he gazed into
that still room and listened to the ever
iasting pens This time he was diseoy-
cred in an instant; the orderly pounced
Ut him. and Amatua, with his heart in
his mouth, rushed toward the admiral
threw himself on his knees beside him.
The old man put protecting arm
around his neck. and the orderly, foiled
in the chase, could do nothing else than
salute.

DAYS AND NIGHTS.

f days were only twice as long,
'Twould be a splendid thing!
Cause don't you know. fore you're quite
dressed,
The breakfast-beu will ring;
And then it's time to go TO school:
And then run home at noon.
And back to school, and four O'Clock
Most always comes real soon;
And then you just begin to play,
And then it's time for tea;
And then, in such little while.
Your bedtime comes, you see!
If nights were only twice long,
'Twould be splendid thingi
Cause, don't you know, when you're
tucked up,
Sometimes your mother'il sing;
And first you lie and watch the stars,
Or maybe there's moon:
Andthen you get all nice and warm
And sleepy pretty soon;
And then, perhaps, you shut your eyes;
And then your mother'll say:
Have little boy that means
To lie in bed all day."

expected one from Grant. The 9ne Off

"A soldiers first duty is to learn 10

HAYES WAR STORY.
The Most Thrilling War Experience
of the Late President Was
at Lynchburg, Va.

The following incident of the great
civil war was related by the late Presi-
dent r. b. Hayes, while en- route from
Chicago to indianapolis in the fall of
1870:
II have frequently been asked" said
Gen. Hayes, ito tell the most thrilling
experience that occurred to me during
the four years in the volunteer army.
Tt was in 1864 that the army of West
Virginia tried to capture Lynchburg,
Va. but Gen. Lee rapidly sent heavy
force to drive us back, and 1T was
thought best to fall back to the Kama
wha valley, where food and clothing
could be had, and then go by the rail
ways to Winchester again.
Gen. Jubal Early's army was press
ing our forces at every point, and 1 was
ordered by Gen. George Crook, who
commanded the division, to check the
enemy until our wagon trains and ar
tillery could get out of the way. A gap
was chosen in the mountains, two or
three regiments were ordered to build
a barricade across the road in the gap,
one regiment was sent TO the noun
tain on The right and another on the
left of the gap to protect the TANKS;
these regiments selected were accurate
in firing as rifiemen could be.
1T was dark by the time all these
preparations were made; Gen. Crook
was careful to give his instruction that
the point must be held until the ar
tillery and long wagon trains were be-
yond the reach of Early. Darkness,
stiffness and the mountains envelo2ed
US. Finally an order came to march, to
follow the army. Gen. Russell Hastings,
my aid, was sent up to the mountain on
one side to direct the regiment to come
down and take the pike in the rear of
the brigade and march rapidly after
the artillery.
Another of my staff, Maj. William
Mckinley (the presiden), was ordered
to go up the mountain on the other
side and direct the regiment to come
down carefully and take the road in the
rear of the breastworks. The duty was
so perilous and of such great impor-
tance that the instructions were re-
peatedly given with greatest care not
to come down the mountain in front of
the barricade, as in the darkness our
men would fire into them. Col. Devol,
who commanded the men behind the
breastworks, fully understood the sit
uation. 1t seemed hours while we were
waiting for the two regiments to
come down the mountain.
81 was walking from my horse to the
line of men lying down with guns rest
ing across the pike. All at once the
clear. ringing command of Col. Devol
was heard: Ready, Aim!' A thou
sand thoughts rushed upon me! Our
men were coming down the mountain
and in the darkness were marching in
front of the barricade. 1 tried to cry
cut to Col. Devo1: They are our men
don't fire!' 1 rushed toward him and
the line, ready to grab him and the
men who were ready to fire. My soul was
on fire. / was too choked to cry out:
Our men. Our meni Don't firei Dom
fire.' but l was too late. Devol gave
the order Fret and one vast volley of
guns roared out in the darkness.
Groans and cries and curses followed.
