Extraordinary Scenes I'm AbyssInia

EHtraOrulnafy scenes In ADEsslnia.
Reuters representative has had
an interview with Captain WellbY.
who has Just arrived from an ex-
pedition in the unknown portions
Of Abyssinia and the countries
lying north of Uganda between
Lake Ru dolf and the Nile Valley.
He visited and lived with some
twenty different tribes. Perhaps
the most curious OF these were two
races Of giants living near Lake
Rudolf and the people who inhabit
the devil possessed district OF Wal
amo. During the whole journey
of about 1000 miles the explorer
did not have occasion to fight the
natives.
Captain Wellby referred in the
following terms to the district Of
Walamo: lone Of the most weird
and remarkable scenes / ever wit
messed was in Walamo, some fort
nights journey south Of Adds
Abeba. The place had an evil
reputation, and | had frequently
heard that any person venturing
to enter the country became the
special prey oi demons--in fact,
became possessed by devils. Oh
course, ] pooh pooheG the idea;
but, nevertheless, it made me more
determined than ever to 60 there.

helped down to the sitting-room. But
everything had gone or as orderly under
Mays hands as if Mother Hawkins had
been mistress herself. And no sister or
mother ever had more untiring care than
she gave to the sick woman, who felt that
she had indeed found treasure, and could
not hear to think Of the time when Mary
must 90 away.
William had written twice to ask how
his mother was, but he had not been down
again.
The day that Mother Hawkins went to
the table for the first time since her sick.
ness, note came, saying that he was com
ing to see her by the evening train.
Not word about his wife did he write
And Mother Hawkins as she looked at MARY
moving about with such a bright face,
thought that if Will had married glrl like
that, they could have been so happy
But her sickness had softened her hard
old heart toward her only son. And she
wanted to see him very much indeed.
She heard the whistle OF the train which
brought him down. Ii was only a half
mile from the station TO the farmhouse,
and she waited, listening to every sound
until she heard his step upon the porch.
"That's him That's my boy, Mary,
come to see his old motherr' She said
eagerly. "Open the door and let him in ~
Mary opened the door-and-w what ?

right before her face? The scandalized old
lady sprang right up in her chair, crying

eyes, mother" answered William,
brightly, land she is my Mary, too" And
he took the new girl to his mother, with
his arm around her waist. "MotheR this
is my wife ~
"Your wife ~ And the old lady sank
back in her chair, overcome with surprise.
''But your wfe's name is Lily"
''Yes so il this lady's. Lily Mary
Sherman Hawkins, sent her to take care
of you, so you would learn to love her.
You have learned, haven't you, mother 2"
Well, that stubborn old lady, who had
vowed she never would have anything to
do with her daughter-n-law, just put her
arms up around Lily's neck and cried like
baby
And now, when Mrs. Jones goes over to
take tea, Mother Hawkins can talk of moth
ing half so much as the PROJECTIONS Of her
daughter-in-law.

Meantime, in his cosy home in the city,
Will had been glOomily reading his old
mothers last curt letter
''Don't let it worry you, WILL" said his
bride, soothingly.

"Never ~ Answered Will, firmly.
"Unless business takes me, shall never
enter my old home unless you go, too. If
my mother cannot receive me, it is no use
talking to me about it,
There was touch of the old lady's stub
born spirit in the son, you see.
Mother Hawkins was stout, fleshy old
lady but she did all her own work, except
for few weeks in summer, when haying
and harvesting came on.
This season, right in the midst of haying,
Mary Jane, the hired girl, fell out of the
haymow, where she was hunting eggs, and
broke her arm. OF course, she bad to &c
home. Not another girl could be got fol-
love or money, and so Mother Hawkins had
to do all herself. The two hired men could
get the wood, and do the milking and
shurning. But Mrs. Hawkins had to sweat

In considering the selection of Admi-

in-chief of the North Atlantic Station
the Navy Department has practically
narrowed the field down to two names.
1t has been laid down as the policy 10
