Writers Robin Adair.

During one of the last birthday
celebrations Of the poet Whittier, he
was visited by a celebrated oratorio
singer, recouEts a writer in st.
Nicholas. When the lady was asked
to sing, she gave the beautiful ballad
of Robin Adair." She had hardly
begun before Mr.. Whittier's pet dog
came into the room, and. seating him
self by her side, watched her as if
fascinated, and listened with de-
light unusual in an animal. When
she finished he came and put his
paw very gravely into her hand and
licked her cheek. Robin takes that
as a tribute to himself" said Mr..
Whittier tsHe also is Robin Adair.' -
The dog, hearing his own name, evil

IT WAS GEN. CROOKS JOKE.
He Paid the Bill and Therefore Had
n Right TO Laugh.

ITO most people the late General
George Crook, the Indian fighter, was a
| solemn man, but he loved a practical
joke" said Colonel Joe" Her to a
New York Tribune man. Back in the
rs. soon after he was made a briga-
der general, and stationed at Omaha
General Crook organized a wildcat
hunting party among a lot of us. and
one moonlight night We started across
the prairie from Omaha for the fort.
The plan was to sleep at the fort and
at daylight start for the wildcats. After
we were all fast asleep General Crook
came down stairs without any shoes
on and took from our rifles the ball
cartridges, replacing them with blanks.
On the way to the woods the General
indicated the order In which he wished
us to fire on the first wildcat in case
we should tree the beast. We had
hardly reached the woods before Gen..
Crook rose in his saddle and said:
BY thunder. boys! Here's a cat
right in the crotch of that fir! Drop
off your wagon and bag him.
I'VE were on the ground in a twink
ling and in less time than it takes to
tell it we were blazing away at a
monstrous big wildcat which was hug
ging the limb of a tree. The cat never
stirred as the successive shots were
fred. and the hunters looked at one
another with open mouthed astonish-
ment. We looked around for General
Crook and found him behind a stump
laughing away to beat the band. At
once it flashed on us that we had been
hoaxed. The General had just
Strengthened up and was beginning to
explain the joke when the driver, a
hired man at the fort, pulled from I'M
der a blanket in the wagon a double
barreled shotgun, loaded with buck
shot. The General didn't see him fire,
but he turned around just in time to
see tufts of fur and hair fly from the
wildcat and 1t dropped from the tree.
"Off went the General into another
fit of laughter. But this time the
laugh was on himself. for the hired
mar had poured both charges of buck
shot into a beautifully stuffed wildcat,
completely running it, and the General
subsequently paid the saloon keeper
from whom he had borrowed it about
S1b All that Crook said was.
"tBoys, it was worth a hundred dol
lars apiece to see five good marksmen
miss a wildcat in broad daylight at
thirty paces.'"

Muchinists Organize.

The machinists of the Wheeling dis
trict are taking the preliminary steps
to form a union and on Saturday even
ing a meeting was held for the purpose
of receiving charter members and quite
a number of names were securd. Meet
ings will also be held on the coming
three Saturdays for the purpose of re-
ceiving additional members. 1t is es-
timated that there are about $50 ma
chinists in this district and as there
has been no union for years, 1t is
thought there will be no difficulty in
organizing a very strong union.
