BURNING UP A GENERAL.
A Soldier In Cuba Who Unwittingiy
Toasted His Commanders
Feet to n Turn

II never told you, did l." asked a
regular soldier who has not yet re-
covered from the wound he received at
El Caney, ''how near | came to burning
up brigadier general in Cuba last
summer?"
Burning him up?" repeated the SOL
dler's friend; no, you certainly never

swell, the officer that [ came near
finishing was Gen. Miles-Col Evan
Miles, of the First infantry, you know,
but brigadier general of volunteers.
Our regiment was in his brigade, and
this happened one night in June when
| was on headquarters guard. Head
quarters was big name for pretty
poor place. There wasn't even a tent,
and the general and his aid, a lieu
tenant, were bivouacking by fire, with
nothing but some empty boxes to sleep
on-not the softest kind of bed. 1t
grows awfully cold, you know, as soon
as the sun goes down, in Cuba, and the
dew chills you to the bone. That night
was cooler than usual, and L was shiv-
ering as | built up the campfire. Be
cause of that, suppose, made it good
aid big. Gen. Miles and the lieutenant
lay down on their boxes and went to
sleep, and when the fire was well started
L went on my post, hundred yards or
so away. After l had been there for
perhaps half an hour, walking up and
down trying to keep warm, | heard a
commotion in the camp. Gen. Miles
was shouting: Sentry! Sentry!' at
the top of his voice. | rushed up as fast
| as | could, but even before | got there |
saw what the trouble was. You never
laid eyes on such roaring campfire.
The general was kicking at the box
that had been his bed.
"'D-n it, man. he said, as came up,
what are you trying to do-burn me
up? You've got too much fire here al
| tOgether!'
Nobody could help agreeing with
him on that point. The end of his box
was blazing, and his clothes were fairly
scorched. The heat had walked him up
| just before he actually caught fire him
self. l hustled around and stamped the
fire out where it had spread beyond
bounds, and when | got that done |
apologized as well as I knew how. The
| lieutenant was on the other side of the
fire, and the wind had kept the blaze
away from him. He was sitting up
with his back toward US, so the general

funny side to it, of course, but it might
have been serious for me- 1t looked like
the careless trick of a recruit, instead
of the work of a man who has been in
the army as long as [ have. The general
was very good about it, and no matter
how cold it was, l was more moderate

HOW THE cow WAS DIVIDED.
1t Took Wise Judge to Define the
Partnership Lines in the
Animal.

II had peculiar case before me once
when | was on the bench" said the Judge
during lunch hour. Il had become ac-
quainted with certain man who had
gone into partnership with another man
in the ownership of Jersey COW, my
friend paying $25 and his partner $50.
They lived next to each other, but when
the COW came the man that paid $50
began all at once to show what kind of
a man he was. The COW was kept in
my friends barn, and the first night

Sure enough" continued the fisher
man, "he had a lease on the milk end
of the COW. My friend went over to
see about it, and his partner said that
it was all right, that he had paid the
most, and naturally had the choice of
halves, and he had selected the after
half on an imaginary line running mid
way between the fore and hind legs,
and sublet his end to the man. My
friend was a supplemented chap, and
so he went home to think it over. At
the end of the week he sent over for
some hay for the coy. The other part
ner sent back that he had nothing to
do with that end of the animal, and that
the man who owned the eating end
did the feeding. My friend began to
suspect that he was being worked, so

Knew Its TerrOrs.

No one can know, as he who has suf-
fered from it, the dreadful experience
of a drunkard's life. The morning pa
per in a brief paragraph, says the In
terror, showed the terrible tragedy of
drink when it told of the fireman who
was thrown from his truck and fearful
ly injured. Going at full speed around
a corner upon paved street, the hook
and ladder department made some balli
and was thrown. The fireman who had
been seated upon the top, holding to
the brake, was hurled against the curb
ing with such force that the bones of
his leg broke and protruded through
the flesh. The companions who picked
him up carried him to the nearest phar-
first aid to the injured proceeded to
fill him up with the best brandy. But
to their surprise his lips were set with a
frmness that excluded every drop; and
then it was remembered that he had
once been a drinking man and was now
reformed. To his mind, tortured as he
was by pain, broken leg was nothing
to an open bottle. No persuasion could
induce him to taste the liquor that was
brought, not even to accept anaesthet-
les; and he bore the setting of the
broken bones without stimulants or
.opiates, rather than incur the slightest
risk of relapse from abstinence. How
much that speaks for his firmness and
the terror inspired by past experience

A FORTUNE OUT OF PIE.
How a Shreyvd ScOtchman in Aus
tralia Made u Comfortable
Pile of Money.

One of Chicago's globe trotters spent
the most of last winter in Melbourne,
whittier he has lately returned He is
naturally full of his travels and when
asked by a friend to describe Melbourne
he said that the two features of the
place he best remembered are Coles
Book arcade and Hosies Scotch pie
shop, which are almost next-door
neighbors in Bourke street. He de-
clared that to have been in Australia
and to not be able to talk about them
is to exhibit a woeful deficiency in the
art of conversation. AS if to prove that
he is not thus deficient, he proceeded
to give somewhat particular account
of the two men, Cole and Hosie, and
their enterprises respectively.
Cole is alive and WELL" he said, "but
Hosie has just died at the age of 6S
An energetic young Scotchman with
only few dollars in the way of capital,
he landed in Melbourne in the early
sos and started little Scotch pie shop
at the end of Bourke street-what time
two other young men named Spiers and
Pond were beginning in a little res
taurant at the other end of the same
street. In 1861 Spiers and Pond risked
all their available capital in bringing
out the first English cricketing team to
Australia. The speculation proved a
great success and on the profits Spiers
and Pond were enabled to transfer
themselves to London and to revolu-
tionize the lunch business in England.
But their pie shop in Melbourne is still
doing business at the old stand.
unlike Spiers and Pond, Hosie re-
mained in Melbourne, made fortune
out of his three-penny Scotch pies, built
pretty bijou theater, provided Mel
bourne with luxurious Turkish bath
ing establishment, erected a couple of
gigantic hotels and attained the dig
nifty of mayor. He was liberal donor
to Melbourne charities, but always
stipulated that his name should be kept
secret. Now that he is dead and" said
this Chicagoan, only few weeks be-
fore / left for home, it transpired that
it was he who in 1889 added a wing to
the Melbourne Homeopathic hospital

DRIVING OXEN TO KLONDIKE.
Fifteen Months in Going Half the
Distance from Edmonton
to Dawson.

G.. w. Lang, of San Antonio, Tex, and
his partner undertook to drive a herd
of cattle and horses to the Klondike
They started in February, 1S9S, with SO
head of steers and 30 horses, from Ed.
monton, Northwest territory. The out.
fit is now at Deadwood lake, / 1,4O0 miles
on the way to Dawson City. Half of the
oxen are still alive and nearly all of the
horses. If they are reasonably success
full they will reach their destination
next fall.
Knowing the perseverance of the
men, it is safe to presume they will get
there, even though they drive but a
single emaciated OK to the slaughter
house at Dawson City.
With two or three helpers Lang and
his partner started on their long jour
ney of over 1000 eventful miles, about
the middle of February, 1898. They
took the trail leading to Athabasca
Landing, thence up the Athabasca and
Little Slave rivers to Lesser Slave
lake, a distance from Edmonton of 300
miles.
ut was while resting our horses al
this post" says a traveller, who has re-
Gently returned from the Klondike.
that we first saw them, with their long
string of yolled oxen, slowly, patiently
hauling their loads. They did not ap.
pear to strain, but by reason of theiI
ponderous weight alone the sleigh fol-
lowed their slow deliberate steps. The
men were weary when they reached that
point. For a month they had been up
at four a. m. to feed their stock, and
were in state of constant activity un.
til long after dark. During the day
they travelled continuously, never
stopping at noon for lunch, but eating
their hardtack as they walked. Already
one of the men had played out and was
forced to return, thus increasing tn.
hardships for those remaining.
"On being asked as to their rate OF
progress one of the party responded
cheerfully: oh, we get along very we'll.
Some days we make as high as 10 or Il
miles,"
The usual daily average for prospect
ors with horses is from 20 to 25 miles
The drivers did not stop at the post sta
tions. Rest was not considered in their
schedule. Each steer was packed with
from 200 to 300 pounds. Having cloven
pointed hoofs, they sank into the trail.
and often had to be pulled out with
ropes.
The last news of the party reported
them to be spending the winter at Dead
wood lake, where they had stopped in
the fall, early enough to put up lit
tie hay for the stock. Lang had died
on the way, but his partner was deter
mined to push on to Dawson City.-Chi.

The weather being too hot for gloves
in the street, the mirrors of fashion
are carrying hand coverings in their
side pockets, with the tips of the fin
gers sticking out. This is just to show
that they've got a pair. Constant
watchfulness is required to keep the
things peeping out the correct dis
tance, as they are inclined to weaken
and slip out of sight. Young Van Nor
den has overcome this by sewing the
finger tips of new pair of cheap gloves
in the top of his pocket. 1t reminds
one of the old-time dandies who wore
the corner of handkerchief where il
could be seen. Those who did this
"sported" red neckties, and often the
handkerchief was not fit for polite So
ciety to gaze upon. Happily these old

him void of reason and even brute in
stinct. Time upon time when the hell
fires" of passion infamed by rum leaped
out to devour all that was sacred and
dear in the home circle she had thrown
herself in the very heart of the burn
ing, never failing to allay it. Thus, by
the magic influence of her loving eff
forts to lead him away from danger
and into the security of a Saviour's
love, she had threaded a part of her own
being into the very heart-life of that
reckless, goddess father. Now she was
about to leave him. Her going meant
to him a loss of all that was worth pos
sessing; she was his "better self ="
There he sat under the stress of a sep
aration that drove heart pangs more
deeply than he had ever before expert
enced. The fountains that had been
sealed for years were broken open, and
those rum-bleared eyes were flooded
with tears.
The child's lips moved and the father
drew nearer. Papa" she said, 81 am
going home to Heaven now; if you have
no whisky breath, come to me and kiss
me good-by."
The father stopped and pressed his
trembling lips upon those purer ones
that were already touched with the chill
of death. Hot tears gushed from his
eyes and broke upon the pale, dimpled
cheek of his dying child. In a faint yet
distinct whisper the child used her last
earthly breath in pressing upon the
mind of her father this searching in
quiry: Papa, dear, what shall l tell
Jesus when | see Him, cause you do
not love and serve Him."
That tiny form now rests in the silent
tomb, while the child dwells in man
sions on high. It's earthstay was brief,
but its fruitage abundant. The father,
a redeemed, transformed drunkard
now living a life of great usefulness in
the Masters service, is most beautiful
monument to the child's memory.-Rev

BACHELOR GIRL COLONIES.
How They Provide Pleasant Homes
for New YOrk's SeIf-SuppOrt-
Ing Young Women

In several of the uptown avenues,
right in the heart of upper tendon,
live the colonies of bachelor girls of
New York. They are women of re-
finement and culture, some means and
undoubted business capacity, with
Ideals beyond the hail bedroom and it's
cheerless and lonesome environments,
and at the same time they are women
who are alone in this city and self-sup-
porting.
To such women chow to live" be-
comes question of absorbing and ir-
ritating moment. Driven by one after
another of the eXigencies of business
life here to seek new quarters as the
city moves up town, they do not know
where to turn until the common law
of necessity drives them into commun-
ism. They do not call themselves by
any high-sounding name, or by any
name at all, but they just got together
to form some sort of a cooperative es-
tablishment that will give them gen.
cral table, a roof tree and a place to
call home.
"Oh! you know, we can live so much
better and cheaper this way" they
said, when l questioned some of them.
And you never quarrel?" l asked.
"Oh! you ought to see how well seven
women can get along together" they
answered, laughing.
The colonies have for their typical
fiat set of eight shut-off rooms-not
a continuous fiat, with everybody run
ming in and out and no place TO call
ones own, but room for all and a
room for each girl which none dares
invade.
a general dining room, pantry and
laundry, with well-lighted, speckless
kitchen, complete the inventory. OF
course, they have girl or general serv-
ant, who, for extras" adopts the part
of maid to each one who wants but
ton here or tape there, or well
brushed skirt.
Much fun and good humor prevails
where seven or eight girls are common
sharers of apartments that mean
home" to them all, and many of the
old time traditions for women have
faded away within those walls.
A piano, a library of a few choice
books and many well selected etchings
adorn the drawing room belonging to
one well known circle of bachelor
maids, and they manage to get along
very well without any masculine heads
to the departments. The apartment
is rented in the name of one; repairs
and demands are made of the owner or
agent through her; the marketing is
done by one with domestic tendency;
the accounts are kept by a girl with
ability in that line, and all the colony
affairs are carried on with system and
precision.
''As fast as girl gets engaged, they
say-and it appears they are not too
advanced" to outgrow the good old
story-''we throw her out" And so
the law of change affects the colony,
making way for some other grin.

mats. He excused himself on the plea
Grand Duke Sergius, with whom he
wanted to discuss some minor matter
of state. 1t would not brook delay.
Grand Duke Sergius happened to be at
Cannes. Accordingly Prince Cantacu-
zene appeared at Cannes the day after
the unexpected pleasure" and "imper-
ative orders from St. Petersburg to
join the grand duke" Notwithstand-
ing the imperative orders from st.
Petersburg" Grand Duke Sergius saw
little of Prince Cantacuzene.
Mrs. Palmer decided to leave Cannes
as suddenly as she had left Rome. This
time the grand duke was not available;
but the prince followed them to Paris.
One morning early in May the prince
cabled to Col. Fred Grant, who was then
in Chicago. He asked for the hand of
Miss Grant in marriage. Before night
he received a brief but satisfactory an
swer. Concerning the matter, Gen.
Grant said:
There is really very little to say
about the engagement. l received a
cablegram from Paris, asking me to
give my consent to the engagement be-
tween Prince Cantacuzene and my
daughter, and l replied that there was
no objection to it, SO far as knew. I
have known Prince Cantacuzene's fam
lily for 20 years, and, while l have never
seen the young man who wants to be
my son-in-law, | have often heard of
him and know him to be highly accom-
plished and of exemplary character"
Miss Julia Dent Grant is named for
her grandmother, who was the beauti-
full Julia Dent, of st. Louis. Miss Grants
mother was a Miss Honore, sister of
Mrs. Potter Palmer. She was born in
the white house in 1876. She is a tall
woman, with dark eyes and an olive
complexion. Her manners are not Vi
vacious, but graceful and dignified. Be
tween the ages of IA and 16 she lived at
Vienna, Col. Grant then being minister
to Austria. She is a fine linguist, speak
ing French and German fiuently. Miss
Grant had three winters in New YORK
society, and one at Bar Harbor, besides
seeing good deal of Washington soci-
ETY. all her life. She has had many adj
mirers, among them Prince Victor EN-
manuel, count of Turin and nephew of
King Humbert of Italy. At one time
Miss Grant refused to be queen, when
Prince Albert of Belgium offered him
self and the half of his kingdom. Els
attentions were very marked. But the
Newport season, of which Mrs. Potter
Palmer was the bright particular star,
because of the attentions of the Belgian
prince to her niece, passed without the
expected announcement of an engage
ment. Another suitor of hers was Rob-
ert Gerry, son of Elbridge T. Gerry.
But now Miss Grant has made her
choice, and she has chosen to be a Rus
| sian princess,
