A Treasure From the Attic.

Do you know any one who has folded
away up in the attic one of those old
fashioned. hand woven blue and white
coverlids which half century ago were
the pride and delight of some country
house peoples hearts?
If you do, just possess yourself of it,
and there you have the beginning of a
pair of portieres that will fill the heart of
all your friends with envy and mad de-
sire for possession.
Rip the seam in the middle of the COW
erld-there is always a seam in them
and this will give you pair of curtains

more than two and a half yards long.

HEROIC DUTCH BOYS.

obstinate and brave as Il Dutchman"
was familiar term in France - years
ago. when ii handful of doggedly deter
mined and fearless boy Hollanders gave
one more proof of what Dutch courage
really means.
1t was in September, 1890, that Belgi-
um, which for 10 years had been under
the rule of a Dutch king rose i'll revolt
and demanded the aid of the other Euro
pean powers i'll establishing her indie
pendence and setting up of king of
her own.
As may well be imagined, the Dutch
took these proceedings very much to
heart, but a very excellent army was or
ganized and the French government sent
Marshal Gerard and General st. Ayr
with 10000 picked soldiers of the grand
army, to see that the Dutch were turned
out of Belgium, bag and baggage.
Marshal Gerard at once called upon the
garrison in the citadel of Antwerp to
surrender. This was on Nov. 20, and inn
agine the surprise Of both French and
Belgians when General Chasse, the
Dutch commander of this fortress, invit-
ed his enemies to come and take it.
Marshal Gerard warned General
Chasse that he would besiege and bonn
bard the citadel "Besiege away was
the gallant Dutchmans reply, though he
had only 4,500 men under him, while out
side the walls his enemies numbered
10000
On the same Doth of November the
French opened fire on the Dutch, but il
the French made breaches in the wall by
day, the Dutch labored and repaired
them by night, and from their lofty out
look they could see and knock over every

SCHOOL or THE NATIVITY
Work Has Been Commenced on The
New Building at Flagstaff.

Work was inaugurated this week for
the construction CT the new home OF

The plans furnished by A. w. Jur-
den, the architect and contractor, show
two stcry brick building with base
ment of stone, 34x38 feet, containing
nine rooms, with necessary pantrys,
bath rooms and lavatories; a hot air
furnace will furnish heat for the
building and a complete system of cleo

all the modern improvements in the
building line will be utilized for the
heath and comfort Ct the inmates.
William F'riedlien has secured the con-

The general style OF the building is
colonial, though in places it verges on
the modern school.
The contract calls for the completion
Of the building by January /, 1900. Mr..

well known energy in the line of con-
struction is guarantee that the School

BLAIR, THE REGULAR.

/ Blair, the regular wounded lay
/ On the slope of San Juan Hill;

Bleeding and faint and still;
/ And further up. in a palm tree hid,
"A Spaniard with deadly gun

Dropping them enc by one
One volunteer, with a feeble hand,
Fought with the plaguing flies;
It told the fact Of lingering life
To the Spani2rds watchful eyes.
He raised his gun t. his shoulder then
And a bullet sang afar;
It hit the hat of the wounded man
Who lay on the left of Blair.

And muttered, I'm hit again.

His brow grew black with a frown-
and I vCw I'll sho1t that Spanish
brute,
Who fires On men thai are down.
Weak were his hands as he raised his

But steady his eye and aim;
Soon, round the trunk of the shielding

Then up from the slope the Springfield

So, firmly shutting his whitening lips,
He crept where the Spaniard lay,
Secured the prize and crawled slowly
back
Ah. painful and long seemed the
way.
''You first" said both of the volunteers
AS he held out the full canteen;
They saw his blood stained blouse, and
they knew
Right well what its cost had been;
Blair could but whisper to answer
them,
