WARTIME STORY.
Recalled by Visit Of Admiral Wat
son to Chicago.

pretty wartime story developed in
Chicago recently through the presence in
the city at the same time of Admiral Wat
son, who was passing through on his way
to relieve Admiral Dewey, and Mrs. Ed
win A Clarke Of Quincy, Ill, who was
here visiting her son, Edwin B. Clarke.
the Chicago architect 1t was a story
of the war of secession and not Of the
Spanish war. but the occurrence of a for
eign conflict in the meantime does not dim
the story's interest
Admiral Watsons friendship for Mrs.
Clarke dates from the time when he was
q midshipman with Admiral Farraguts
feet before New Orleans, and when she
was q Miss Besancon, a Southern BELLE
and the strongest kind OF a sympathizer
with the secession cause.
Miss Besancon was on her fathers plan
tation in a suburb of the city part of
the Federal army of occupation camped
near the place The soldiers needed fire
wood and set out to get it On the Besan-
oaks, centuries old, the pride of the place
and of the family. The wood-cutting
party saw the oaks, and with axes in
hand started for them;
were her sister, two cousins and two Wis
fling friends. all young women. From a
window they saw the ak party approach
the group OF great oaks. Then there was
a race. when the soldiers arrived at the
first tree they found six pretty girls in
white with hands joined encircling and
clasping the old gray trunk.
1t was case of Soldier, spare this
tree" but the men wanted wood. They
made for another oak, but again were
outstripped in the race. and that tree in
its turn, was clasped in the arms of six
plucky Southern girls. A third tree was
circled in the same manner, and then the
Northern invaders shamefacedly with
drew and secured their fuel supply else
where.
This tree-saving episode reached the
ears Of the officers Of the army Of occu-
patton and OF those Of the fleet They
called In scores to offer their congratula-
tionss to the plucky plantation girls.
Among the callers was Midshipman Wat
son, now a rear admiral with a fleet of
his own.
It goes without saving, perhaps, that
the admiration Of the Federal officers was
no whit diminished when they learned
subsequently that Just before the oak cpl;
wheeled, "by hand" battery of light
artillery, which the ,retreating Confeder-
ates had left behind, down to the levee
and had dumped the guns into the rush
ing waters OF the Mississippi, In order
that they might be of no service to the
invading host.-Chicago Tribue.

ODDLY MATCHED RACERS.
Pigeons outfiy Honey Bees In Mile
Course Trial.

Two men who lived in Wigtown, in Scot
land. became engaged in a controversy as
to whether homing pigeons or honey bees
could fly the faster. Each was so sure OF
the correctness Of his own opinion that
they resolved to make q test of the mat
ter.
But how shall we know that your fast
bees are the right bees when they come
in ?" said the man who owned the pigeons.
Easily enough-flour' en-" said the
other.
So a number Of bees were carefully
taken from a hive, near evening, so that
1t might be altogether unlikely that, they
would loiter by the way, and sprinkled
with fine, white -four, which stuck to
them. Then the bees and one homing
pigeon We're taken to q point a mile away
from the pigeonhole and also mile away
from the beehive, and all We're liberated.
The pigeon reached its journeys end
first, having flown the distance in five
minutes and thirty seconds. The Toured
bees came in thirty seconds later-in ex-
actly six minutes.
The result did not prove a great deal.
so slight was the distance, and the bee
man thinks he might win on a second
trial Certainly neither pigeon nor bees
were very swift. Perhaps they were slow
in getting under way.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

FAITHFUL DOG.
Saved the Lives of a Family, but He
Perished.

Had It not been for the warning bark
Clay. of Kipp street and Indiana avenue,
would in all likelihood have been smoth,
cred to death recently. Mr.. Clay keeps a
saloon at the above address, and in some
unknown manner a fire broke out in the
cellar.
The dog was penned up in the rear of
the cellar and the bright glare of the
kindling flames caused him to bark and
howl furiously. The noise awakened Clay
and the other members of his family. who
We're all asleep. They soon found ont
what the matter was, and hurriedly
dressed themselves.
The dogs warning came none too soon.
for by the time they reached the first
floor the house was filled with smoke. In
the meantime an alarm was turned in by
a Thirtieth District policeman. The fire
men succeeded in extinguishing the
flames, with damage of $1,000, equally
divided between the building and con
tents.
When the firemen had forced their way
through the fire and smoke into the cell
lar they found the dog dead In their
hurry to get out of the house the family
had forgot the faithful animal that gave
them timely warning.-Philadelph Times.

month and half. the birds arriving in
little groups.
Generally they are taken by means of
nets five meters high, which the natives
extend or. cords fastened to poles, in the
fashion of curtains gliding on their rods.
In reality the net is double. The first
near the side of the sea is of meshes very
large and loose, but at the back is an
other net where the bird will really come
and perch itself in the folds formed by
this net of small meshes
There is another method of capture
which is more picturesque. Rows of dried
branches are placed on the shore. At the
foot of each branch is disposed a tuft
of fresh herbs, in the middle of which is
arranged an opening which ends in a
snare The quail, tired by its journey,
takes refuge in the branch, then in the
bunch of herbs, naturally, without figur-
Ing to itself that it is going to put itself
into a trap where q native will surprise
and kill it. With these means Of destruc-
ton, 1t is not astonishing that each year
more than a million of these birds are
taken.-New York Sun.

probably be due to the vibration and noise
Of the traffic 1t was, however, severe
