In Office a Long Time.

1t is only Il matter of hearsay as to
how long Mr.. W. L. Booker has been
county clerk. The Oldest citizen may
be able to remember when he was not
in the county clerks office, but it is
doubtful. Mr.. Booker copied a deed
for constituent the other day that
he had himself recorded 53 years ago.
Of course Mr.. Booker was not high
clerk at that time, because he is not
much older than that, so he says, but
was acting as deputy for his father.
who was clerk. Mr.. Booker has been
county clerk for 80 years, and the
greatest test of his popularity and eff
ficiency as clerk is that lie has never
had opposition for the office but once
since his first election. and then h,
beat his opponent about 1,500. He has
never had opposition in the general
election but this once and has never
had any opposition within his own par.
ty. This is a remarkable record when
it is taken into consideration that this
county is very close politically and has
often elected Republican county Off

outspeeaed the Swallow.

4 swallow is considered one of the
swiftest Of flying birds, and it was
thought until a short time ago that no
insect could escape it.
A naturalist tells of an exciting
chase he saw between swallow and
dragon fly, which is among the swift
est of insects.
The insect flew with incredible speed
and wheeled and lodged with such
ease that the swallow, despite its ut
most efforts, completely failed to over
take and capture it.

See How Long You VIII Live.

There is very simple rule for find
ing the average number of years which
persons of any age may expect to live
If the present age be deducted from
so, two-thirds of the remainder is the
answer required. This result is not
absolutely accurate. but it is near
enough. For instance, a man aged 20
might by this rule expect TO live 10
years longer, which is Just what the
latest actuarial tables give At 40 the
expectation OF life works out at nearly
81 years, while the tables give it as
more than % years. At TO the above
rule allows just over Is years, and the
table shows little less.

THE BIRDS PETITION.

Deep in lesfy woodland bowers,
Bright with underground of flowers.
Ger the dsppled mead and pool
And in tangled lanes most cool,
Pipe the throstle, finch and lark
From the dewy dawn to dark,
And they pipe and never tire
Songs as sweet as loves desire.
Oft TO ME they seem to sing,
On the branch or on the wing:
If you leave US space and sky,
Room TO nest and sing and fy,
We Will pipe for your delight,
Pipe and make the days more bright,
But in narrow cage confined
Song is slain by joy unkind.
'Honor, then, our wide domain,
Break not little hearts with pain;
God who made the merry day
Gave to US our roundelay,
And ike honey laden bee,
Or like wild winds made US free,
Leave, then, leave US to our song,
Woods and meads and flowers among"

Soldiers of the noncombatant class
come in for many very hard scorings,
but when one of these gentry gets
chance to face the music he does it like
a hero. The assistant surgeon of the
Twenty-first infantry, Captain ii. G.
Fisher, gives a modest story of how
he helped the wounded on the firing
line at San Juan Hill. Having learned
that the regiment was to attack the
blockhouse Captain Fisher went for
ward and caught UP with the men,
awaiting orders on the bank of a
stream Says he: THE bullets were
tipping about. Captain Ebstein called,
Get down, dOctorr and the doctor got
down and listened TO the hornets.
Soon some one called out that Lieuten-
ant Meade, Just from West Point. was
wounded, and, keeping low till got
to him dressed the wound in his
forearm, through which bullet had
passed, both of us lying down. Then
came a staff officer to say that General
Kent ordered the Twenty-first to gain
an important hill, and they started
ahead at double time. About that time
was called to dress some officer of
the Sixteenth. lying in the roadway
wounded. and when I could so on the

all for awhile But they had us dead ir range
and it was no dream the way their bullets played
around US.
One OF the bravest things ! saw in the war
happened right there. An officer came up-he
was major Of the regulars but | don't know
what regiment-and he saw that we didn't know
what to aim at and were getting a little rat
tied So what did he do but quietly walk out in
front where the Mausers were coming thickest
and proceed to study the hills with his feldglass
as unconcerned you please And every now
and then he would call out to who were in
side, Men, fix your range at $40 yards and sweep
the grass of the ridge OF that hill again:
Men, / see Spaniards over there. Try LOCO
yard range and see if you can't get some of them.
Fire low l such nerve as that Off
Ger had. He'd have stirred courage in anybody.
Hanlon told two stories of ugly
wounds sustained by his comrades in
the blockhouse from bullets fired
through the small window, and the
question was natural one as to the
fate of the brave major outside. The
second comrade wounded was a boy
of 20. in the Thirteenth, and Hanlon
went out to call IA Red Cross man to
attend him. He found one bending
over Il PROSTATE form On the ground.
1t proved to be that of the major. He

credit of the deed TO where it belonged.
In the first brilliant account of the
battle of FL Caney by Captain Lee OF
the English army there was reference
TO deed of her0ism called by the au-
thor one Of the most daring of the
campaign. Other writers have refer
