A battalion Of volunteer infantry
was drilling in field when regiment
of regular cavalry rode BY. The colonel
Of the cavalry halted his men to watch
the volunteers and, getting into con-
versation with the colonel Of the latter,
he criticised their drill unfavorably,
especially their want Of unsteadineas.
The volunteer colonel was q fierce fell
low, and he cried hotly:
my men are as steady as any reg1-
ment Of regulars .
II do not think so, retorted the
cavalryman, land IL you'll draw up
your men in order TO receive cavalry

The challenge was accepted. and the
cavalrymen charged down upon the citi-
zen soldiers who awaited them in the
usual way. Now, regular cavalry can
charge to within few feet. or even
inches, Of infantry at full galiop, and
then at the word Of command pull up

their nerve when they saw the huge
horses laundering down upon them and
showing no signs of stopping when a
few yards off. They fed. all but one
man, who remained on his knee with
bayonet leveled. His colonel, enraged
at the others flight, approached the
hero and. tapping him on the back,
cried:

Rosa Bonheur's Love of Animals.
From Grain OF Corn - The
Boy WHOM BE a Man.

Nile. Rosa Bonheur, the great
French painter, died few days ago.
and numerous as were the stories told
during her life Of her strange power
over Wild beasts none Is more interest
ing than those which are now coming
out about her childish days. Until she
was past 10 'sThe Little Hussar," as
her piaymates called her. took her
pleasures In the rough and tumble
fashion Of her brothers When she was
13, she began TO find great deal Of
pleasure tn drawing horses, cows and
sheep upon the barn doors, and by the
time she was IA she had neither eyes
nor ears for anything but some shaggy
headed lion or striped tiger, who for
got all their savage instinct when Bon
heur looked in their eyes.
There has been MISREPRESENTATION on
the secret Of that look. "Hypnotism,"
said every Snowman in Paris, who was
quite accustomed to having Mile. Bon
heur walk into cage of surly lions
and pat and poke them into good hui
NOR till they rolled on the floor at her
feet like huge bundle Of happy kit

ers who helped to attend to Mile. Bon
hours pets on her estate near Fon-
tainebleau. But whatever was the Sc
cret Of her power over the four footed
kingdom it made her the greatest Of
animal painters.
There used to be an old joke among
the French circus men that when q
lion or tiger proved refractory and I'M
manageable it must be given 70 Mile.
Bonheur.
And she never failed to tame the
most savage.
In this way she came into the possess
sion of very beautiful Nubian lion,
which was her devoted slave for years.
Finally Mile. Bonheur was obliged to
leave her estate at Fontainebleau, and,
fearing to leave the savage creature in
charge of any one else, she turned him
over to the geological garden. The lion
dropped and pinned. They sent for Mile.
Bonheur, but it was too late, and the
broken hearted king of the forest died
with his head In her lap.

From a Grain of Corn,

In the seventeenth century the little
town of Grosslawitz, in Germany, very
much wanted new bell, as the old one
was too small to send its tones to the
end of the village, but the people of
the place were too poor to defray the
cost.
One Sunday when the schoolmaster,
Gottfried Hayn, was going to church
he noticed growing out of the church
yard wall fiourishing green stalk of
corn, the seed Of which must have
been dropped there by passing bird.
The idea suddenly struck him that per-
haps this one stalk Of corn could be
made the means of producing the Sec
ond bell they wanted so much.
He waited till the corn was ripe, and
then he plucked the six ears on 1t and
sowed them In his own garden. The
next year he gathered the little crop
thus produced and sowed 1t again. till
at last he had not enough room in his
garden for the crop, and so he divided
1t among a certain number of farmers,
who went on sewing the ears until in
the eighth year the crop was so large
that when it was put together and sold
they found that they had enough mon
ey to buy beautiful bell, with its sto-
ry and its birthday engraved upon it
and cast of the cornstalk to which it
owed its existence.
There could hardly be a better in
stance than. the above of the wealth
that lies in careful outstanding Of re-
sources.

middle in even slices toward the knuckls

Return OF che Goblet.

Dealers in cut glass announce a re-
turn to the high stemmed goblet style
of water glass 1t cannot be denied that
goblets are more decorative in effect
on the table than the tumbler shape,
but in careless hands the destruction Of
the former is much more rapid The
bowl of the new goblet israther broader
than formerly. while its stem is not as
lcng as that seen on the same glasses
when they were in almost exclusive use
for water service few years ago.

And yet their eager minds he.wrought

And everything he. wrote was bought
They straightway made him rich.
Rub as the years came on he tired

OF honest thoughtful praise.

All fearlessly he strove, and then
