Another Spanish Excuse.


A belated war story comes from
Ponce, Puerto Rico, and is told by
Lieut.. Juan Arato of the Spanish en-
gineers. when the war broke out, {"
said the lieutenant, I'VE found that our
supply of ammunition of all sorts was
very low. Some was new and some
old; some was black and some brown;
some was old-fashioned and some was
smokeless and mysterious. There was
one lot of brown smokeless powder
which was marked Use with care!
Very powerful! Keep cool and dry!'
and to it was attached legend that it
had burst Krupp field gun. deter
mined to try it. I employed small
charge in gun, and to my surprise it
refused to go of. My gunners were
very much disguised, and one of them
said: Bah. this is no good for war.
I'll use it for cooking our supper We
all jumped as he threw double hand
full into small campfire. Judge of
our feelings when we SAW the fire go
out. I afterward learned that powder
of this sort deteriorates with age, and
that long before this case was opened
it was as harmless as wet sand"

QUEER RETURN.
OF Two Rings That We're Stolen from a
Dead Soldiers Hand.

Or Two Rings That We're Stolen from q
Dead Soldiers Hand.
Washington Spe. New York Times:
Indian Agent Logan, of Browning,
Mont, told night or two ago of an
interesting experience he had while
out in the far northwest. His father,
Captain William Logan, was killed in
a fight with the Nez Perces at Big
Hole % years ago. When his body
was discovered the little finger on the
left hand had been cut off at the Sec
ond joint, and two rings worn on that
finger had been removed. Two years
afterward his son, now the Indian
agent, came across Blackfoot Indian
who wore seal ring. Upon examina-
ton 1T was found to be one of the
rings worn by Captain Logan. The
Blackfoot who had it had obtained it
from another Indian, who, in fight,
had killed the Nez Perez who wore it,
and had removed it by chopping off his
victims finger, just as Captain Logans
finger had been amputated. Twenty
two years after the battle in which
these rings were captured squaw at
the Browning agency attracted the at
tention Of Agent Logan by a ring worn
on her finger. 1t was a plain gold
band, on one side Of which was Nal
tese cross in red enamel, and on the
ether side the square and compass en-
graved. It was his fathers second
ring. The sluaw who wore it had
traded some pelts for it and knew
nothing Of its history. Agent Logan
wears the seal ring on his third finger
and the Masonic ring on his watch
chain. He will not venture to try
either ring on the little finger. Re-
calling the rude method adopted to
get them off Of two fingers, he prefers
to try one on another finger, just to
change the program in case an envious
person desires to obtain it without his
consent.

"a SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

Begun with Small Farm-Now Does m.
tsnsivs Mixed Farming.
Within three miles of the town, go
ing eastward. is the farm Of Mr.. w.
Dreamer, one Of the municipalities
largest and most prosperous mixed
farmers. Mr.. Dreamer came to this
country in 1880 and settled on a por-
ton Of the land which comprises his
present enormous farm of 1880 acres.
In common with many others Of q
similar period, he experienced all the
nardships and difficulties common to
tho absence Of railway and market ia
cilities. In no wise daunted, by ener-
gy, industry and indomitable will ne
was able to surmount all obstacles
and has achieved an unparalleled sue
cess. and is known throughout the dis
trict as one of its pre-eminent farm
ers. His operations extend over 1890
acres, two sections (the thought alone
OF so much land makes the eastern
farmer dizzy; 800 acres Of this is
broken and the remainder is excellent
pasture land and wood. This harvest
ne took on crop Of 500 acres of wheat
and 200 Of other grains. Four hundred
acres are plowed and ready for wheat
next spring. Mr.. Dreamer is, as has
been stated, a mixed farmer of nc
mean proportions, having at the pres
ent time forty horses, sixty head of
cattle and lfty pigs. The most mod
ern farm buildings are found on his
premises, the main building being a
barn fifty-five feet square on stone
foundation, containing stabling for
sixteen horses and large number of
cattle. The loft is stored with twenty
nine loads of sheaf oats for feed, and
tons Of hay; there is also a cutting
box. Another building of large d.
mansions is the granary, in which, aft
er teaming large quantities to market,
he still has stored 5000 bushels of
wheat. A crushing machine is in the
building. There are number of less
er buildings containing chicken house,
pig pens and cattle sheds. The farm
residence is handsome frame struc-
ture OF ample proportions; in connec-
ton with it is woodshed. The water
supply is unexcelled; besides house
supply there is we'll in the stables
and never-failing spring situate in
bluff, which never freezes. Surround
ed by thick bluff Of poplars, extend
ing in semi-circle to the west, north
and east, the winter storms are brok-

Added to his farming operations, Mr..
Dreamer conducts a threshing o:t:ft

one instance Of what can be accom-
plished in western Canada.-Baldur

There was a sharp cry from among
the crowd of passengers. Mrs. Morell
was coming forward, with arms out
stretched. She was entirely uncon-
scious of the crowd, apparently. Some
one whispered to the man who held
the babe:
"Her little one was buried yesterday

The man shuffled his burden awk-
wardly in his arms and took his hat
from his head. Mrs. Morell reached
him and her hands seemed to hover
above the coverings of the child's face
as an avid Zee hovers above flower.

toward her cabin, and as she went she,
who had hitherto shed no tear, sobbed
aloud.-Chicago Tribune.

THE SEAS
RESTITUTION.

The third day out from aavre fog

For two days it did not lift nor thin,
and 1t was dincult to believe, In spite
OF the log, that the ship was making
any Roadway at all. It seemed almost
as II the world had ceased to be, or as
II 1t existed but in state Of flux, and
as II, enchanted ones, accursed with an
immunity from the common destruc-
ton, were left to contemplate the
nothingness.
Then, to add to our sense OF doom,
young baby was said to have died on
enlpooad. At first every one took 1t
Tor granted that Its mother must have
been steer:ge, or, at the least, a sec
ond cabin passenger. It seemed un-
likely that death would be so imperti-
nent as to enter the first cabin. But

"The Captain asked me If would
be willing to have my baby buried at

reminded me of a mournful bell, "and
