The Buffalo Enquirer tells the follow
ing: \ boy IA years old. who was told
to write all he could about breathing In
a composition, handed in the following:
Breath is made of air. We breathe
with cur lungs, our lights, our liver and
kidneys. Ii it wasn't for our breath we
would de when we slept. Our breath
keeps the life a-going through the nose
a room all day should not breathe. They
should wait till they get outdoors. Boys
in a room make bad, unwholesome air.
They make carboncide. Carboncide is
poisoner than mad dogs. \ heap Of sol
diers was in black hole in India and a
carboncide got in that there hole and
nearly killed every one afore morning.
Girls kill the breath with cOrsits that
squeeze the diagram. Girls can't holler
or run like boys because their diagram
is squeezed too much. If / was a girl
! had rather be a boy so l can run and
hOller and have a great big diagram.

this pleasing and heretofore unpublished
anecdote of Stevenson is told by Albert
Haywood, the present commercial agent
Of the United States in the Hawaiian ISL

in the Detroit Free Press.
1t was while Stevenson and his wife
were living at Apia, in Samoa, that Mr.
Haywood was appointed consul there for
this country.
Shortly after his arrival in the country
he arranged for a reception to the Eng
the community that they might meet
him in his official capacity and he them
as "citiZens of Samoa"
Of course an invitation was sent Rob
ert Louis Stevenson and his wife. Two
DAYS before the date of the function Mr.
Haywood was surprised to receive note
from Mr.. Stevenson, sent by courier.
The note read as follows:
Mrs Robert Louis Stevenson and
Robert Louis Stevenson accept Consul
Heywood's invitation with pleasure, and
assure him that they will be present on
the evening Of the 23d, if, by that time,
Mrs Stevenson finds her other shoe.
Ever thine,

today call meeting of the committee
appointed by him recently to arrange
for reception to take place immedi-

was the original intention Of the gov

The others would have TO pay such
heavy tribute to the Southern Pacific
that they announced that IL would be
entirely satisfactory to them to let the
Santa Fe have all the business.
The regiment will reach Frisco
about October 8. 1t will then take
about ten days or two weeks to muster
1t out. The muster out rolls will all
be prepared on the voyage, and about
tho only thing left to do at Frisco is
for the volunteers TO undergo u physi-
cal examination This will enable the
regiment to reach home about October

peka, and the various railroads will
grant excursion rates from all parts of
