To the average American boy the ad-
ventures of Boots" the mascot of the
Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers, who
has just returned to his home in Pitts
burg, will seem as thrilling as the best
efforts Of the romancers. When the
Tenth went into camp at the beginning
Of the war, Boots, who had attended
the state enoampments for the previous
three years, went along with his favor
ite company. When the regiment was
ordered to Manila, he smuggled himself
across the continent on the cars and got
on the transport. The soldiers kept him
hidden until the steamer was we'll out
at sea, and then "Boots" appeared. OF
course he went to the Philippines with
them.
He was at the siege Of Manila, where
he carried ammunition to the men in
the trenches and occasionally fred an
old gun which departing Spaniard
had dropped in his haste to get away.

A Thousht For New year,.,

1t is blessed provision OF the almanac
to have new year como around annually.
1t gives to countless numbers of persons
an opportunity to indulge in their darling

live up to one's programme of purity is 1t

That is kept for the evening, when labor

take its place, or 1t is reserved for the
evening of life, when exertion ceases and
energy droops, or it is relegated TO some
time In the future, when sufficient means
have been secured to make work appear
unnecessary. 1t stands for the realization
in some way of ease, comfort, leisure, lux

effort, hardship, struggle, are all put in
opposition to it. Thus men will often live
lives Of labor and sacrifice, hoping by this
means to obtain peace and tranquility
when tho toll Is over, but to unite the
two, to enjoy peace in toll, tranquility in
effort, seldom occurs to them. Yet no
peace worth having exists without power,
and power must have its outlet in aotiv.

THE LEGEND OF THE INDIAN PIPE.

The July St. Nicholas contains the fol-
lowing poem from the pen of a girl only IA
year Of age.
When the white-faoed European
Drove the red man from his lands
Drove him from the broad Atlantic
To the far Pacific sands
The Great Spirit, looking downward,
Grieved to see his children sad;
Told them they might leave behind them
One small thing of all they had.
Then they quarrelled, all and one said
Let us leave a thing of war
Tomahawk. that they. by fighting,
May at last exist no more
And another said: Nay let us {:
Leave behind an arrowhead,
That its point may draw their life-blood
Til these people all are dead"
But, my brother" cried a third one.
"Tomahawk and arrow bring
Death so sudden, swift, and painless
That it loses all its sting;
Rather let us leave the snake-skin
That | belt about my waist,
That Il subtle, silent poison
May destroy them. not with haste"
Then there came great Asseboyne.
He, the greatest chief of all,
From his hut beside Niagara.
Where the thunder-waters fall.
Brothers." cried the aged sachem,
will we now, about to go,
Leave Dut war ana nate DenlIlu yOu'
Will We treat the white men so?
Let us answe the Great Spirit,
Asking not for strife and war,
But that he shed peace and plenty
ON this land forevermore.
Now, We underwater listen!
And, thou rolling river, hear!
And, ye rocks and trees, remember!
Harken, brothers, now, and fear!
Though the red man leave his wigwam,
Passing toward the setting sun,
Though he take with him his blanket
And his tomahawk and gun,
Let him leave behind his peace-pipe
Ey the ashes Of his home,
Leaving II alieht and burning,
Ger the land he used to roam"
The Great Spirit heard the answer,
And 1t pleased him there above;
For he said: Between the red man
And the white man now Is love"

A LAWYERS LAST CASE.
His Unusual Reason For Requesting
m Enrly Hearing.

The dry routine of proceedings before
the prosy court of claims in Washington
was broken during the past month or so
by the unfolding Of a pathetic romance,
the participants in which were persons of
real life. The case was that of Clara II.
Flower against the United States for
damages on account of the destruction Of
her husbands homo and live stock by
Federal troops during the southern rebel
lion.
Mr.. James Fullerton, a southern attor-
ncy, appeared as counsel for the claimant.
IN the ordinary course of events the case
would probably not have been reached this
term, but on Jan. 4 Mr.. Fullerton came
into court and asked that this particular
case be advanced and heard at once.
He h made a dramatic appeal to the
court, stating that he was suffering from
n deadly malady and that the doctors had
informed him that he could not live more
han "a month. He added that he had Pc
culiar personal reasons for closing out the
case in which he was engaged as attorney
and that he was the only man living who
could complete 1t.
This address had q marked effect upon
the court and the attorneys present. The
cou consented to hear the claim at once.
Despite his weakened condition, Mr.. Full
lerton made an able argument in behalf
of his client, but at its conclusion he left
the courtroom in evident distress.
The prediction Of his physician in regard
to the duration of his life was true, for
about the middle Of February, before a
decision had been handed down, he died,
his doctors stating that death was due to
cancer.
The other day the clerk of the court
made this entry in the ledger devoted to
the case Of Clara II. Flower against the
United States; Judgment for claimant,

Thirteen HIS Mascot.

The career Of George C. Boldt, the hotel
man, who has decided to build a SO, 900,
600 hosiery in Philadelphia, is a striking
refutation Of all the talk about the nun
her 10 being unlucky, for that number
has been identified with every important
step he has taken in a long time. The
first house he lived in in this city was To-
Gated at 1921 Chestnut street, where Wan
amaker's store now stands. Mr.. Boldt
married a young lady who lived at 1881
Green street, lived for several years at 1918
Locust street and bought a hous at Ii
North Thirty-fourth street, which he used
for many years as a laundry. Another
important step was becoming proprietor of
the Waldorf hotel, in New York, which is
10 stories high, and now he is to build n
hotel in this city which will be 13 storie,
high. In no instance has this been by de
sign or the part of Mr.. Boldt, for, as he
explains, it all simply happened so.-Phil-

TRAPPING AS A BUSINESS.
1t Hnz About Come to an End In the
Eastern States.

Trapping as n business has about ended
in the eastern states. A few boys and i'm
provident men still set traps along the va
rious wood streams of Pennsylvania, New
York and Maine, but the old time trapper
is going. The time was when men had
lines of traps up streams, over ridges and
through swamps for scores OF miles,
through densest forest, o steep trap or dead
fall large enough to hold mink or marten
every quarter of a mile or so and n double
spring trap at "likely" places along the
line large enough to hold a fox, wolf, fish
err or other bait thief. A couple or three
bear traps were commonly in the line.
Every 10 or II miles was a little shanty,
with its pile of dry hickory, frying pan, a
bag Of salt and stretchers for the skins, all
Of which had been prepared in the fall be-
fore the fur was prime.
The longest lines took a week or ten
days TO cover. Progress was slow. Snow
had to be cleared away from the traps aft
er a storm, the victims had to be skinned,
the traps reset n rebaited. Deer were
hot to supply the bait. All alone the
trapper, with IN AK or rifle and n light
pack containing food, followed his line by
the blaze marks he had cut on the trees.
1t was a life of toll and hardship. Some
times the men were lost, and in the spring
or years after their bones would he found
with the rusted AK or rifle. The remuner-
alton was not great, but large enough to
be tempting in the days when a prime
mink brought $40 to $l2 each.
The old trappers are mostly dead. The
new ones are guides, and trapping for Sl0C
to $500 a winter is not overlapping tC

ARMOR PLATE FOR BANK VAULTS,
From the Scientific American.

\ Pittsburgh trust company has lately
erected a vault. composed of steel armor
plates. which possess some novel features.
1t is 1919 feet by 1912 feet by 9ia feet. The
entire front of the vault is of a single plate
OF armor s inches thick. This is le-infcCc-
ed by a nickel-steel plate Of the same size,
only 6ie inches thick. Therefore the total
thickness is 1iia inches, The floor is in
the front, and the bolt-work of the door
radiates from the center, like spokes from
a hub. The armor plates are dovetailed
together and clamped from the inside, II
desired, plates % inches thick can be used,
thus avoiding the use of bolts. II is
thought that armor plate vaults possess
remarkable advantages over the old lam
mated plates. ether banks are about TO
adopt the new system.
