Japanese Courage.

A New York exchange tells of the
courage of the japanese in the late
encounter with China. 1t is seldom
that, a more striking instance Of
sSa|or is Witnessed sr
When the allies lay under fire
from the walls of -tsin, the Jap
sanesc held two rows of huts along
the south canal. Between these
rows was an open space, commanded
by the Chinese fire.
A soldier was started with YER
bal order across this zone. Within
80 wards he fell dead. Another sol
der instantly dashed out with the
message, aud he fell likewise, Like
clockwork third soldier ran out,
and there was a roar of cheers from
the allies as the brave japanese
made the trip in safety. siiWf

cTALllNGS WAS UNABASHED.

Representative Stallings of Ala
bama has the reputation of being
able to turn corner quicker than
any otherlpolitiejan ipl the south,
but he found himself in a very close
corner the other day. 1t so hap
tn9psl that a gentleman living iprone
OF the most prominent towns in
StaIIlngs district got on the train
for Washington ono fine morning to
see about the appointment as post
nwsterl which StaIlings had prom
/ od him, To his pleasure he found
another prominent citizen Of that

Before they had Travelled so miles
condolences were exchanged, and
1hey discovered, 10 their indigna-
ton. that both were bound on the
'ame errand. StalHngs had prom
led The postollice to both of them
during the last campaign and had
told them 20 come 10 Washington
shortly bcfbrc'the term Of the pres
enl incumbent expired. AT first they
were inclined to turn back home,
but after discussing the subject
awhile they concluded that they
would go on to Washington and
confront Stallings with his duplic-
ity.
They arrived all right and the
next morning called upon their con-
gresham at his hotel. He received
them cordially, was not a bit hus-
trated, and when each in turn re-
minded him Of his promise to make
him postmaster StallIngs clapred
his hand upon his knee, roared with
laughter and said, "Boys, | reckon
one of You uns must be lying, and |
wish you'd tell me which it is."-

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Pigs That Live Upon Fish Which They
Hal Catch Themselves.

SSkS'
In the state of Washington, as all
school boys and girls doubtless know,
are the greatest salmon fisheries in
America. Every spring the swift
mountain streams are fairly alive
With these beautiful reddish yellow
fish (threr and four feet in length
and weighing often 25 and 30
pounds) as they 60 up the river to
deposit their ergs in the headwaters
Of the mountain streams. Then in
the early fall they come down again.
1t is during these two seasons that
what is known as the salmon run is
ct it's full height, and this is the
time for which the Washington boys
look forward all the rest of the year.
But the queer fishers are not boys.
They are hogs. So fond are tho
hogs of this delicacy. which costs
the people of London dollar
pound. that the farmers who have
pastures along the rivers have great
trouble fencing the farms so that
the hogs cannot get into the
streams. Mr.. Hog wades in or
swims in. according to the depth of
the stream. and then watches for
the salmon. The salmon swims
along unsuspectingly. Mr.. Hog is
ready for him. Quick as a flash he
fastens his g. pedy jaws about the
great fish and carries him ashore,
there to deyour him with the great
est relish. Then back he slips into
the water to watch for the next
traveller along that way He will
keep this up until his hunger is sat
isfied. This indulgence ruins the
hog for pork, however, as it gives
it a "fshy" taste, and no one will
buy it. That is the reason the
farmers keep their hogs as far from
the streams as possible.
