"A certain Cleveland attorney has
two bright little children. They are
quick at imitation and have talent
for making up games in which they
cleverly burlesque their elders. A
few days ago their mamma found
they were playing doctor The
youngest child was the patient, with
head wrapped in a towel, and the
older the physician, with silk hat
and cane. The mother, unseen by
the little ones, listened at the door

tient.

doctor, looking very grave indeed.
Then, without word of warning,
the skilled physician hauled off and
gave the patient smart slap in the
region of the ribs.
"Ouohr" cried the sufferer.

the doctor.
"Yes," said the patient,

"It's all right" said the patient,
edging away.
Thereupon the doctor produced a
small bottle filed with what looked
like either bread or mud pills and
placed it on the table.

physician said, dissolved in water,

PIGEONS AS MESSENGERS.
Advantages OF Their Use For tho Rapid
Concentration OF Naval Forces.


Concentration OF Naval Forces.
The twenty third volume of pro-
ceedings Of the United States Naval
institute has among its contents sew
eral ably written papers on subjects
interesting to the navy. Lieutenant
E w, Eberle contributes a paper on
"Homing Pigeons as Messengers of
the Fleet, in which he refers to the
advantages and practical workings
of messenger pigeon service and
points out conditions under which it
may be used with advantage to the
feet. In his paper Lieutenant Eberle
says;
From its geographical surround
ings Key West will become our most
important pigeon station on the At
lantic, and Port Townshend, which
controls the strait of Fuca and en-
trance to Puget sound, will be the
most important on the Pacific. Port
Townshend station can control
the entire entrance to the west
ern possessions of Great Britain,
and this would prove of great value
in the event of hostilities with that
country.
"The rapid concentration of naval
forces at the point of attack or the
movement of forces to intercept the
enemy is only made possible when
we have system by which we can
communicate rapidly with the shore
station from long distances at sea,
and the messenger pigeon service is
the only system by which we can
obtain such communication. This
service might be called, very appro-
priately, sea telegraph system,
and although its messages cannot be
dispatched with the speed and abso-
lutte certainty Of the telegraph yet
the system has the advantage of
forwarding its messages from any
position within definite limits, and
therefore it is not necessary to Geek
the telegraph station in order to
send a message.
I'm the event of hostilities many
more messages than those given in
the above illustrations would be
sent in order to insure the receipt of
important information, and if only
one of the many little messengers
should arrive in time to enable our
feet to maneuver so as to engage
the enemy before he could infiict
appalling destruction of life and
property upon some one of our sea-
ports, then this service would prove
itself most valuable to the govern
ment and well worth the small an
nual sum required to maintain its
efficiency.
1T requires but one practical il
lustration to strike home and to
open our eyes to the merits of this
service. Let a single human life be
saved from shipwreck in a time of
peace or let one maneuver of the en-
emy's feet be frustrated in the
midst of war by the timely arrival
of one of these swift winged, trusty
little carriers with its urgent mes
sage, and all the country will ap-
plaud the result and will realize the
value of messenger pigeon service
upon the seas. Baltimore Sun.

SOLDIER WHO THREW
SHINING GOLD AWAY
EPISODE IN A STREETCAR THAT
MADE A STIR.
The Martial Creosus Hailed From
North Dakota and Was Only
Just Out of Hospital.

A soldier Of the North Dakota volun-
teers, who has remained behind his regi-
ment in San Francisco, being sick in the
hospital at the Preside, electrified a car
conductor on the California street line
and carload Of passengers night before
last. He had been drinking and was
hilarious. The car was No. AZ and was
running extra Just after it turned into
O'Farrell street from Jones on the way
down to the Market street terminus the
North Dakotan rose from his seat I'm
steadily and delved down in his trousers
pocket and brought up 4 handful Of shin
ing twenty dollar pieces that he had re-
ceived upon his discharge from the hos
pital.
"Whoopeer" said he, with a chuckle.
The word was accompanied by a sudden
upward motion and the gold pieces scared
toward the roof of the car and then
rolled upon the perforated covering of the
floor. "Whoopee" Once more the soldier
man hoped to rid himself Of his earthly
dross, but he had only silver dollars and
small change to send glimmering into the
air.
The car conductor was in the car and
picked up all the money that he could
find There was 500 in gold pieces and a
small sum in silver.
e! don't want the money" yelled the
excited soldier when the coin was handed
back to him. Keep it. Keep it. 1t is no
good good to me-"
We'll" answered the conductor, IT
dont want 1t either"
Here was an interesting situation, and
the inmates of the car, soldiers and civil
ians alike, were at once amused and in
terested. Twice the coin was rendered to
the soldier and twice he refused it, for
he was "gloriously drunk"
When the car stopped the conductor
hunted up policeman and gave him the
money to keep in trust until such time as
the soldier might think that he needed it.
