as to the parentage of Henry Morton
Stanley. 1t Is known that he was born
near Denleigh. Wales, in 194O and at the
age OF three was sent to the poorhouse
at st. Asaph. At that time his name
was John Rowlands. He remained in
the institution for ten years. and shortly
after leaving 1t shipped for New Or

That was the beginning OF his re-
markable career of travel and adven-
ture, the crowning event of which was
his discovery of DR.. Livingstone IN the

as to how he came to adopt the name OF

and said that he thought 1t would take
him eighteen months to accomplish It."
The farewell between the two men was
affecting. Stanley confesses that he
choked up, and after calling back, Good

people and ordered them to push on"
He declared that he would cover the
ground in forty days that 1t had taken
him three months to perform before.
The trip back was easy as compared to
the outward one. On May he came
within sight of Zanzibar and was met by
a jolly Englishman who asked! What
will you have to drink-beer, stout,
brandy? I congratulate you on your

Stanley was dubfounded that he had
been recognized so quickly, but he took

From that time on he was over

reached Zanzibar-and then 1t was worse.

sTANLEY'S PREPARATIONS.
Stanley was kept busy for weeks pre-
pairing and Quitting his expedition. The
only medium of exchange between travel
ers and the natives in eastern and central
Africa is merchandise. A bead necktie
represents a cent; two yards of American
sheeting a half dollar or form, and a
roll of brass wire a gold piece Conse-
quently. the money belt'' of an African
traveller is represented by caravans of
merchandise. When Stanley had COM
pleted his purchases he found that they
weighed in the aggregate 11.000 pounds.
AS pack animals and conveyances are out
of the question in African travel, 1t Is
necessary to lCok to human carriers to
transport all baggage and supplies AS
the maximum load for each man does not
exceed seventy pounds. Stanley discov-
cred that be would require nearly 100 men
to pack his impedfmenta into the interior.

HoAx1NG A BRITISH FLEET.
Amusing Incident That Happened Dur
ing Recent Naval Maneuvers.

An amusing story is told of the
hoaxing Of British fleet by "a stupid
Irishman" during the recent naval
maneuvers. 1t appears that during
an attack on Bere island by some Of
the vessels of the OBJ fleet the Off
Ger at the Hut received instructions
from the Castletown coastguard sta
ton to gather up all kilograms and Sc
cret plans, send a man away with the
same to hide in cave, and on no &C
count to let them fall into the enc
my's hands. With the remainder of
his crew he was then to show fight un-
til the last. In the meantime an at
lacking force of Is men and an Off
Ger had been landed, which marched
to the Hut and secured its surrender.
All search for the secret papers, how
ever, proved useless, and the men at
the Hut maintained a profound ST.
lence to all interrogations. During
the afternoon one of the men of the
Castletown ceastguard station had
been sent to Bere island with the pay
of the men. Upon arrival there he
proceeded at once to the Hut (having
previously disguised himself) and
found himself surrounded by the in
vaders, who wanted to know his bust
ness. lie posed as an old naval pen
sioner, stating that he was a native,
and was trying, with the help of his
small pension, to make a living on the
island by cutting and selling turf. He
had provided himself with turf-cut-
ting spade in order to give color to his
story.
The sailors of the invading party
were very sympathetic, and advised
him to go to England, where he would
be sure of getting work in one Of the
royal dockyards. After getting the
invaders into a good humor he imme-
diately went in search of the man with
the secret documents in his posses
sion. With the aid of some Of the is
landers he found the man he was in
search Of, took from him all the docu-
ments, which he hid in two baskets OF
turf, and returned to the Hut. This
time the sub-lieutenant in charge Of
the invaders took him in hand and
closely questioned him with a view to
obtain some reliable information re-
garding the defenders, but all to no
purpose. At last the sub-lieutenant
dismissed the man with the remark
that he was the most stupid Irishman
that he had ever met. Little did the
officer imagine that the supposed stu
pid Irishman was the very man they
wanted, as at the time he had in his
possession all the documents the in
vaders were searching for.
During the night the enemy's
fotilla left Berehaven, going west,

Hut before leaving. - Westminster

among the more remarkable patients

was soon obvious to all that the issue

II Tried to Steal Chicken But Was
Captured and Killed.


Rhn Burroughs has some trouble

we%N that Turk in the woods around
his siab-sided cabin near West Park,
on the Hudson. In the Century, in
"Glimpses of Wild Life About My
Cabin" he thus describes an encoun-
ter with an especially pertinacious
robber of his roost:
Il @hs standing in my porch with
my dog, talking with my neighbor
and his wife, who, with their dog,
were standing in the road few yards
IN front Of me. A chicken suddenly
screamed in the bushes up behind the
rocks just beyond my friends. Then
1t came rushing down over the rocks
5 past them, flying and screaming,
closely pursued by long, slim red
animal, that seemed to slide over the
rocks like serpent. Its legs were
SO short that one saw only the swift,
gliding motion of its body. Across
the road into the garden, within a
yard of my friends, went the pursued
and the pursuer, and into the garden
rushed and my dog. The weasel
seized the chicken by the wing and
was being dragged along by the
latter in its effort to escape, when !
arrived upon the scene. With saw

and seized the sole of my shoe in his
teeth Then I reached down aud
