and as nearly every one was armed
with an ancient telescope a yard in
length or n pair of field glasses worn
to the brass from constant use, there
was little, if anything, that escaped
that battery of lenses.
Finally one old sailor called atten-
ton to a bird that was futtering
about mile offshore, and, after some
discussion, another declared that
there was a white whale in pursuit
of it. This was disputed for time,
but as the bird and whale came near
er to shore, it was seen plainly and
citement. The whale was a little
fellow, about 90 feet long and white
as milk, but it was so clumsy in it's
movements that the wounded bird
would jump about ten feet every
time the whale tried to swallow it.
The chase was a long ono, and for a
time the shelldrake was safe, but
after time the whale got nearer,
and finally the bird failed to reap
pear after diving to escape it's pur-
suer, and the old salts agreed that

Meantime a dory with two men at
the oars and third perched in the
bows armed with harpoon had put
out from shore with the firm inten-
ton of sticking an ''iron" into that
whale, but the game between the duck
and whale was SO prolonged that the
boat could not get within striking
distance. After the fowl had been
gobbled up as easily as trout would
take fly, the whale moved off to-
ward the westward, apparently at
tracted by the mooring buoys, which
resemble wild fowl squatting on the
water. Two other dories had joined
in the chase by this time, but the
whale simply played with them. When
boat came near enough to strike
the whale would quietly sink below
the surface and after a brief spell
arise in some unexpected quarter
This was discouraging work for the
oarsmen, and after an hour or more
of lodging about the bay, the two
latest whalers gave up the task in
disgust, but the first boat out stuck
to it and at one time almost got an
iron in the whale. Finally, it dis
appeared and was seen no more and
the fishermen on the end of the wharf
allowed that he had Swallowed him.

Twp soldiers, lying as they fell
Upon the Redeemed clay
In daytime foes: at night, I'm peace
Breathing their lives away.
Brave heart had stirred each manly breast;
Fate only made them foes.
And lying. dying. side by side,
A softened feeling rose.

To-day we've done our best
On different sides. What matters now?
Tomorrow were at rest.
Life lies behind; l might not care
For only my own sake,
But far away are other hearts
That this days work will break.
among old Hampshires pleasant fields
There pray for me tonight
A woman and little girl
With hair like golden light
And at that thought broke forth at last
The cry of anguish wild
That would no longer be repressed-
'Oh, God! my wife and childw
And" said the other dying man.
Across the sandy plain
There watch and wait for me loved ones
I'll never see again.
A little girl with dark. bright eyes
Each day waits at the door:
The fathers step, the fathers kiss,
VIII never meet her more.
To-day we sought each others lives;
Death levels all that now.
For soon before Gods mercy-seat
Together we shall bow.
Forgive each other while we may;
Lies but weary game.
And, right or wrong. the morning sun
VIII find US dead. the same
The dying lips the pardon breathe.
The dying hands entwine:
The last ray dies, and over all
The stars from heaven shine
The little girl with golden hair
And one with dark eyes bright.
On Hampshire's fields and sandy plain
Were fatherless that night.

and he shivered sort of Falstaff
SILVER and dug his blue fingers into the
ragged pockets of his ulster. One hand
was withdrawn from time to time and
held a tin cup into which he asked
passers-by to drop few pennies.
At last through a momentary hole in
the crowd broad man with white hair
and generous face walked, and the,
beggar got out his cup. The benevo-
lent-lookihg citizen passed him without
look. The beggar was crushed. He
turned cold and hungry face toward
the newsboy on the corner,
"It's no good, Chimmie," he said.
'I'm too heavy. / don't get a cent.
Just because I'm fat, people think I

And he put the empty cup in his
pocket and turned SLOWLY awav.

Features Agreed On.
(By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON. Nov. so.-Chairman
Payne. of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, issued notices to-day recalling
the previous notice of full comnhttee
tomorrow, to consider the bill FOR the re-
ductson OF the war revenue
The reason that the committee VIII iloe
meet. it is stated, Is because furtnef Ai
formation is wanted as to the desires ~, W
the Republicans in reference TO tniS oiii,
such features of the measure prepared
by the Republican members as nas =.
come known have aroused consderaots
opposition. and it is probable tnat cor cor
ference or caucus of the Repuoiisah
members will be held before hna1 oe-
casion is reached. a.
The greatest opposition that mas de-
veIoned comes from the brewing interests
and representatives from districts where
.there is a great deal of beer manufacturer !,
are making serious protests against the
action of the committee IN not reducing
the tax on beer.
There are some other interests whicn
also are making protests, and Repuhil-
can members of the House have teie-
graphetf their friends on the Ways ana
Means Committee that they think the
proposed bill should be changed
The fact that the majority in the pres
ent House is but sixteen warns the Re-
publican managers that q bill must

publican membership in order to pass.
