THE BUGLER WHO FORGOT.
Got n Chance TO Run the Fight "a
SUIT Himself and Made Things
Warm.

1t is not often that an enlisted man
gets chance to run a part of the fight
TO suit himself. That chance, however,
came to one bugler. says Manila cor
respondent of Leslie's Weekly. Capt.
Hannay, finding that L company was
too far away TO hear orders, sent his
bugler after the company 10 sound the
charge. AT the first notes l. flew on
ward. 1t was right here that the
bugler forgot, for the time being, that
he was only the commanding officers
orderly. He saw another chance for
l. 10 move on the jump--too good a
chance, he thought, to be lost. He
sounded once more and Lieut.. Ross,
imagining, of course, that the order
came from Capt. Hannay. executed IT..
Not even yet was the bugler's thirst for
forward action stated. He sounded
again and again, as the heat of gem
crnIship made his blood flow fast and
hot.
BY the time the bugler came to him
self and relnquished the duties of fight
director the poor fellows Of L company
were troubled with shortness of breath.
In this brisk affair. according to the
official report. the dead reached a total
of about 60. including some officers. 1t
is the enemy's dead that is meant, of
course. Twenty-one Mausers and six
Remingtons were the spoils Of this field.

A FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
~ Was fsetween Man-EatinS shark
and an Alligator and the
shark Won.

Some fishermen down at Mayport
Fla, the mouth Of the ST. Johns river
witnessed a strange fight few days
ago between large alligator and a
man-eating shark, says the Philadel'
phia Press.
The alligator was summing himself
on the river bank when the fishermen
approached within 80 yards.
There was a roar from the alligator
which attracted attention to his pres.
ence, and he fell sprawling in the river
Then huge shark shot toward the
bank and caught the alligator's tail
In his mouth, causing the alligator TO
roar with pain and turn onto ,he
sharks tail with his mouth.
The two monsters stuck their teeth
firm.y in each Others tail, and the
shark snatched Off piece of the alli-
gators flesh. swallowing il at one gulp.
The alligator let loose the shark and
made a desperate effort TO escape. The
shark raised himself above the water
and pounced upon the head of the alli-
gator.
The entire head Of the alligator was
caught between the jaws of the shark
and mangled.
Several hours later the dead alligator,
without head or tail or legs, rose to the
top OF the water and was carried out
to sea by the ebbing tide.
Several sharks have been caught of
Mayport this year, and the fishermen
who reported the above story will try
90 catch the shark that ate the alli-
gator.

CREATION OF CATS AND MICE.
An Italian Legend Involving st
Francis de Paula and
the Devil.

/ send you translation have made
of an Italian legend of how the cat was
created, written by Antonio de Nino.
Many are the proverbs about cats in
the Abruzzi.
st. Francis de Paula performed so
many miracles that the devil was made
iii with envy. Once he entered the cell
of st. Francis in the shape of grand
nobleman with box full of heavy gold
pieces. Here, Francis" said he, ''take
these, don't remain in this miserable
hovel, enjoy life; it is strewn with
roses, why do you collect all the
thorns2" St. Francis, without much
ado, raised his hand and made the sign
of the cross, whereupor. the fine gentle
man disappeared amid clouds of sui
phur smoke. Another time the devil
led lovely damsels, barefooted and
lightly clothed, into the cell of the
saint, and then queens and expresses
of glorious beauty, covered with jew
els and wrapped in mantles of gold It's
sue. But ST. Francis stood there like
a log Of wood, and at last made the
sign OF the cross, when everything
disappeared. The devil was furious.
~ must find some way to make this
stolid fellow lose patience"
After much thought he rubbed his
hands with delight. he created mice,
and they multiplied by thousands in
the wink of an eye. The cell of St.
Francis was filled by them, and he
tried in vain to drive them out with
his hands aud feet. But as he drove
them out of the door they swarmed
in at the window, and when he closed
both door and window they crept up
through holes in the brick floor or
dropped down through cracks, in the
ceiling Then they clambered up the
saints tunic, made beds in his straw
mattress, played pranks in his provi-
sion basket and were generally offen-
sive. At last st. Francis, after recit-
ing fervent prayer, burst out laugh
ing. The mice were beginning to at
tack him in thousands, when beauti-
ful little cat was created in the sleeve
of his tunic. So he cried to the mice:
AhPaoAS Jou w otOp uhu bo youi
way or you will repent it."
The mice answered by pushing their
noses against the bare skin Of the saint,
as though they wanted to pierce
through him, so he drew the beautiful
little cat out Of his sleeve, and il sprang
at the mice blessed with such miracu-
lous hunger that it swallowed two at
time Of the big ones and, three or four
Of the little ones. st. Francis hoped
they would have been exterminated,
and rushed to stop up hole in the
ceiling Che had already shut the door
and the window, but he was not quick
enough. A pair of mice escaped, and
thus we have those tiresome mice all
over the world. st. Francis then ut
tered another prayer, and his beautiful
little cat was granted n companion.
They multiplied exceedingly, and have
always been favorites with deyout old
ladies because they are creation of

True Story of Ladl,iie.

Few dogs have had wider circle
of personal friends and have been
more sincerely mourned when they
have died than Laddie Boss, an intel
ligent Scotch collie of ancient lineage.
To some of Laddie's friends. in
deed, it seemed an insult to call him
dog. He knew by name the various
visitors at his home, and would go up
stairs in the morning and call any
member of the family whom his mis-
tress told him to awaken. This, in
deed, was particular delight. for he
had discovered that his cold nose,
thrust unexpectedly aga nst a neck in
the early morning, created sensa-
tion, and his JOY at the remonstrances
that ensued was always unbcunded.

LESSONS In stamps.

The child who possesses the bean
tiful set of Columbian stamps will
learn from their designs much of the
career of Columbus. If he has ac-
quired the curious stamps of New
South Wales, he will not fail to adj
mire the map OF the continent that
adorns them if he forget which country
is inhabited by the kangaroo, his
Australian stamps will duly inform
him, and should he desire to know
where his cod liver oil comes from the
Newfoundland stamps will teach him.
Stamps are instructive at all points.
For instance, any child knows from
them that Salvador is volcanic, that
Egypt has pyramids. that Holland has
little queen and Spain still more
infantine king.
All, if stamps and printing had not
been such very recent inventions, how
much more would not history have
had to tell US, Think of having the
portraits and accessories of all the
emperors of Rome! Not as worn de-
signs on rusty coins, but engraved on
parchment by skilful workmen and
carefully preserved in ancient arch
ives. They would teach history in

a Sea Biral.

The guillemot is sea bird of the
genus alca, or AJAX.
Its legs are set very far back on The
body, 50 that it's usual attitude is
nearly upright sitting posture. Its
three toed feet are strongly webbed
and their structure gives it great
facility in swimming and diving. In
these operations it Is greatly aided by
it's short wings, which are of more use
for these purposes than for flight,
mode of progression of which it is,
however, capable, though in a some
what clumsy fashion.
From the position of its legs and
the fiat surfaces of it's webbed feet
the guillemot's walk is very awkward,
but in the water its movements are
lively and graceful. The male bird
measures from fifteen to eighteen
inches i'll length and the female from
twelve to fifteen inches.
Guillemots are found in high lati-
tudes on both sides of the Atlantic, in
America breeding rs far south as the
Bay of Fundy. On the British coast
they exist in countless millions, the
Scottish cliffs and the rocky islands
to the north and northwest being their
chief resorts. They also extend far
to the north of these points.
Like many common birds, fishes
and other animals. the guillemot is
known by many names, these varying
in different districts and not always
being limited to the guillemot alone,
but including its allies, the penguins,
razor bills aud puffins. Thus it is
variously known as the frowl, kiddaw,
langy, lazy, marrock, murre, scout,
sea pigeon, skiddaw, strany. tinker,
tinkershire and wilcox. E. E. T., in

Republican news item. [volume] (Laport, Pa.) 1896-19??, 1900-02-22

The first considerable discovery of
gold in the Cape Nome district was
made in September, 1898, by party
of Swedes, who found it in the creeks
and gulches. They were sent out and
told where to look by Swedish mis-
sionary, N. O. Hultberg, who had
persisted, in spite of every discour-
agement, in believing that there was
gold along the edge Of Golofnin Bay.
Not till last summer was the beach
gold discovered. In the gulches
along the edge of the mountains the
diggings are coarse gold, nuggets
valued at $3.50 being found there six
or eight feet under the creek gravels.
Along the beach the gold is as fine as
bird shot or finer. Its occurrence is
mostly under two or three feet of
gravel and sand, on the bottom layer
of clay or argillaceous sand, called by
the miners bedrock" Thin layers
of ruby sand inter tratified with the
gravel near the ''b drock' are often
found to be rich. The production of

Laddie understood all about closing
doors, bringing the paper, fetching
his dish, saying his prayers, singing
and all other ordinary dog accom-
plishments. But aside from these,
Laddie understood the English Ian
guage, and did things every day that
surprised his family by his intelli
gence. One sultry evening Laddie
showed al indisposition to retire AS
usual to his rug in the kitchen, and
his master said, ''You think it is

your rug in here if you want to-. P"
Laddie, to his masters astonishment,
for he had never before teen told to
move his rug, went promptly and
brought it into the dining room, and
laid himself con entedly upon it. In
the morning, when he was told that
lie had better take it back to the
kitchen, he picked it up in his teeth
and dragged it back.
Laddie had his own friends, many
of whom his master and mistress did
not know. These were mostly bust
ness men and women who passed the
house night and morning, and whom
Laddie met regularly, as if by APP
pointment, at one corner of the door
yard, and escorted inside the yard as
far as the fence would permit. These
people were known in the family as

sent home on the next train. On the
way to the train mad bull attacked

The Iceland Dinner.

In Iceland the natives dinner
usually consists of dried fish and but
ter. The fish is the ling or cod,
which, when caught, is split open and
then hung up on lines by the sea-
shore to dry in the cold winds and hot
sun. When thus preserved, they will
keep for years. being as hard as the
neither milestone. When wanted for
dinner the fish is we'll hammered by
stone mallet and then cut up into
strips. In this state they are eaten,
but it is said that it needs an Ice
lander's teeth to get through the
meal. The butter is not spread on
the fish, but the two are taken alter
nately, first mouthful of fish, then
n mouthful OF butter. 1t may easily
be supposed that the Icelander is
thankful to have his jaws well creased
between every mouthful of the tough
