SAVED BY A FRENCHMAN.
How the Prince of Wales Was Res
cued from the Late Attempted
Assassination.

The credit for saving the life of the
prince at the recent attempt TO assas-
sinate him at Brussels, rightly belongs
to NJ. Louis Won Mol, a young Partisan
law student, says the New York Jour
nal. NJ. Won Mol says: 81 had just
alighted from the train coming from
Liege, which reaches Brussels at five
o'clock, when l heard that the prince of
Wales was in the station, and | went
into the carriage to see his royal high
ness and bow to him. I saw a servant
alight from the carriage; then, as the
train was starting, ! perceived a young
man springing upon the footboard and
holding something in his hand. | at
first thought that it was the servant
returning; but al at once there came
the report of a fTearm. I sprang upon
the malefactor. caught him with one
hand by the throat, and with the other
disarmed him We rolled upon the
ground. AS l picked myself up ar in
dividual tried to seize the revolver
held-in order to claim the honor of
having apprehended Sipido; and an al
tercation then ensued, with the result
that the police came up, and, on see
ing that l held the revolver and that
my hand was covered with blood from
an injury l had received in my fall, at
once arrested me. Fortunately, the
confusion did not last long, but in the
course Of it I was brutally ill-treated
by the police. At last, seeing their
mistake, they wished to apologize to
me, but [ refused to accept their ex-
cuses until the things [ had lost in the
scuffie an umbrella and a pair of
gloves-were returned"

The man with the drum is very i'm

ly Indispensable person in a parade.
The band only plays at intervals, but
the drum beats steadily on, says the

Victory in battle is often due to the

summons to march on and the inspira-
ton of the tap fires the spirit and in
flames the soul and sets the heyday in
the blood rioting hotly with no thought
or power to attend the decision of the

The man with the drums at the Audi
forum is always the most interesting
character in the ensemble of the or
chestra. High in the center he stands
among his fellows and his arms fly this
way and that among the kettledrums
and his flexible wrists and fingers are

MUD HEN EGGS FOR CHICAGO.
Industry But Little Known Money
Producer for Hunters of
Bureau County.

Green river 'hen fruit will soon be-
gin to make it's appearance in Chicago.
This is an Illinois product of which Chi
cagoans partake without knowing
what they are eating. Green river chen
fruit is the egg of mud hen. Mud
hen is the common name of the Ameri-
can coot, or Virginian rail, says Chi
cago paper.
During the month of May is the busy
season of the mud hen; likewise of the
individuals who make living robbing
her nest. The hens, in large mum bers.
frequent the marshes of the Green and
Illinois rivers. They nest in swarms,
on punches of drift, and here they are
easily found by the egg hunters, who
find a ready market in Chicago for all
Of their offerings. A Green river
hunter last year gathered 1000 dozen
eggs in three weeks, clearing 500 for
his labor. The price last year netted
six cents a dozen.
Nearly all of the eggs are taken in
Bureau county. They are coated in the
same manner as the product of the
barnyard fowl, and are sold to restaur-
ant men and confectioners. It is said
to be an easy matter for an egg hunter
acquainted with the haunts and habits
Of the mud hen to take from 500 to 500
dozen eggs in a single season.

THOSE who know Johnnie" Nelson,
the tireless and enthusiastic La Fol-
Iette worker, will appreciate this bit
of sarcasm from The Madison Jour
nal: "Mr. John Nelson, of the state
treasury, is taking a vacation in the
northern counties. Mr. Nelson is so
fond of travel that be rarely spends
two nights in the same town. He is
averse to publicity and so does not
register at the hotels. He does not
care for scenery, SO passes much Of
his time indoors; and disliking crowds
he has a fondness for talking to one
man at a time. Mr. Nelson's services
to the state are SO valuable that his
pay is continued. He will return
when his condition is restored-that
is, Bob's political condition."

A COSTLY RABBIT.
History of the Most Expensive Cot
tontaiI That Ever Was
Heard Of.

1.-THE most expensive rabbit on rec
ord" said a well-known river man, re-
lates the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
'lived and is probably still living on a
big sugar plantation in Jefferson par
ish. No, am not joking; am in dead
earnest. The place | refer to is owned
by an old friend of mine, and is one of
the finest on the whole river. 1t has
been worked of late years almost en-
tirely by Italian labor, and the fore
men have had a good deal of trouble III
coping with some of the racial pc
culiarities of the hands. Among other
things they were exceedingly fond Of
wild game of all kinds and had an espe-
cial and particular liking for rabbits
The consequence was that whenever
cottontail would be scared up in the
field the entire gang would drop their
hoes and dart in pursuit. The Italians
were good sprinters and the abbit was
generally caught, but every episode Of
that kind meant the loss of at least
half an hours time. There were
great many rabbits on the plantation,
and these impromptu chases became so
frequent that the foreman finally real
lied he would have to take drastic
measures to stop them. Accordingly
he put all hands on notice one morning
that the next man who stopped work
to run after a rabbit would be locked
SIS pay. About an hour atterward
fine bunnie leaped suddenly out of Is
furrow and started across the field
Instantly the cry went up and ESQ
Italians went galloping in pursuit
After the fugitive had, for a wonder,
escaped, and the excitement abated.
the foreman quietly remarked that S.
apiece would be deducted from the
pay roll Saturday night. He was as
good as his word. and that lone rabbit,
which they didn't get, cost the Ita1-
ians exactly $3.50. 1t was the last ever
chased on the plantation. When one
appears at present the swarthy labor
ers look Wistful, but keep on hoeing.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR STONE has
expressed the following opinion on
the gubernatorial situation to a Mil
waukee Sentinel reporter: ''The fact
that Mr.. La Toilette has so many
running against him will be of consid
cradle assistance to him, for no one
will have enough votes on the first
ballot to nominate and large num-
Der of votes will undoubtedly 90 TO
the Madison candidate after the first.
1t IS simply a question OF what COM
bination can be made against him,
for Of course it will be necessary to
unite on one of the opposition candi-
dates to defeat him. Who this will
be is a question, while there is still
further cause for speculation as to
what strength La Toilette will be
able to draw on his own account. 1t
is my opinion that he is not so
strong about the state as two years
ago, but | think that this disadvan-
tage IS Offset by the divided opposi-
ton. | expect that he will be able to
secure most of the delegation in the

in the commonplace world through
having refused, not long before, an
offer from the emperor Of the French
of the keepership of the Jardin des
Plantes and senatSrship, if he would
come to Paris and live. Such an in
credible and disinterested love for
America and science in our hemis-
phere had lifted Agassiz into an ele-
walton of popularity which was be-
yond all scientific or political dignity,
and the selectmen of the town ap-
pointed a deputation to welcome him
and his friends to the region A re-
ception was accorded, and they came,
having taken care to provide them
selves with an engraved portrait of
the scientist, to guard against a

Naming the Prince of Wales.

About coo years ago there was a king
of England-Edward I.-who subdued
the people of Wales. After conquer
ing the Welsh, he was anxious to get
their good will, and so, when it hap
pened that his first baby prince was
born in Carnarvon, in Wales, he had
bright idea. He announced that his
boy was a native of Wales-one who
could speak Welsh just as well as any
other tongue (this was true, as the
baby was but a few weeks old), and he
should therefore be the peoples own
prince, Edward, prince of Wales, says
Forward. Twenty-three years after
this baby became king of England, and
about so years later his grandson had
assigned to him, as the third prince of
Wales, the crest and motto which has
been borne by all the English kings
sons who have since that day had the
title. The crest is three ostrich feath-
ers, and the motto is the sentence, ''Ich
dien"-"I serve" 1t was given to the
Rack Prince. a boy of great promise,

co OUT OF TOWN DEWEY DAY.
Residents of Chicago Who Passed

There were some people in Chicago
on Dewey day as the appearance of
the streets and buildings testified,
but there were others as we'll wEe
were not in Chicago, but who bied
themselves away on an early train
to the nearest golf ground and spent
the holiday propelling the little round
gutta pefcha implement across green
fields and pastures new, says the
Chronicle. The lull OF the country
was particularly gratifying when con-
trasted with the jar and hustle and
excitement OF the celebration in town,
and, while the country idler wanted
to cheer for Dewey, he wanted still
more to enjoy the delights of holt
day close to natures heart when
spring is IN the air.
So he gave little cheer for Dewey
every time he drove a ball and he
challenged his opponent to come on
in the immortal words of the immor-
tai commander: "You may fire when
you are ready, Gridley." He kept the
battle of Manila in his heart and left
