HEROIC DUTCH BOYS.

"ObstiDate and brave IS Du' CHI
man" was familiar term in France
IS years ago, when handful of dog
ged determined and fearless boy
Hollandere gave one more proof of
what Dutcn courage really means,
1t wasin September. 1880, that
Belgium, which for Is years had
been under the rule of Dutch king.
rose ia revolt and demanded the aid
of the other European powers in
establishing her independence and q
setting up OF king OF her own.
As may well be imagined, the
Dutch took these proceedings very
much to heart, but very excellent
army was organized AID The French
government sent Marshal Gerard
and General St. Ayr, with. 10000
pick, d soldiers Of the grand army,
to sec that the Dutch were turned
out Of Belgium, bag and baggage.
Marshall Gerard at once called
upon the garrison 10 the citadel of
Antwerp to surrender. This was
on Nov. 80, and imagine the surprise
of both French and Belgians when
General Chase, the Dutch comman-
der OF this fortress, invited his enc
m les to come and take it.
Marshal Gerard warned General
Chase that he would besiege and
lombard the citadel. "Besiege away"
was the gallant Dutchman's reply,
though he had only 1880 men under
him, while outside the walls his enc
mics numbered 10000.
On the same 29th of November
the French opened fire on the Dutch
but If the French made breaches in
the wall by day, the Dutch labored
and repaired them by night, and
from their |. fly outlook they could
see and knock over every gabion or
approach the French made. With
superior arms and men the French
fairly ragged to see themselves bsffl-
ed and checked at every turn and
to hear all Europe laughing at their
situation.
Their humiliation wss complete,
however, when finally, on blowing
up lunette,- they took So heroic
Dutchmsn prisoners and found them
instead of tough veterans, the mer-
est boys-so young were 40 of them
that they had never had razors at
their chins, and their beardless faces,
wan from toll and privation, gave
them quite the ar pearance OF a band
of sick children.
At last, after 10 days. desperate
after 10000 shot and shell
had been thrown into the citadel,
General Chase capitulated, and the
French, very suitely and rather
shame facedly, entered the strong
hold. Within it was literally torn
to pieces, and drawn up before their
conquerors was this wonderful little
company of Dutchman. Three
fourths of the entire force had not
reached the age Of % years, a few
had been two years in the service,
and q sorry figure in their own eyes
and the estimation of everybody else
did the magnificent French army
cut. Fond as they are of recount
ing their warlike deeds, French his
torians have little or nothing to say
regarding their conquest OF Antwerp.
They realize that the glory rests all
with the warrior boys who were
conquered and who never would
have surrendered unless their gen.
eral had found he could no longer
bear the sight OF the sutferings OF
these young heroes. -sDenver News.

To give exercise to the fashionable

Then, too, some ladies do not like
to have their dogs seen out with an

hours carefully.

benefit to my health. | am as happy

Miss Pierce did not hesitate to ell
that the salary paid her for exercising
thes swell bowwows varied from 81
to S. a week for each dog, according to
tractability and general behavior. For
instance, some highly bred CANNES are
badly behaved, and require a close
hold on the leading strap. Such bad
behavior must be made up in salary,
while docile, well-bred pup is trotted
up and down the avenue for dollar
or so less.
The tiny little dogs which are some
times seen poking their noses out of
muffs and folds of sealskin are the
most troublesome of all, since Miss
