Railway Employees,

In the year 1900 there We're no less
than 1,017G53 railway employees IN
the United States, no other business
owning so many, except agriculture,
and that upon the earnings of these
men 100000 persons are dependent.
Engineers, tiremen and conductors
alone constitute an Industrial army of
10000 men. Including other train
men, station agents, switchmen, tele-
graph operators and dispatchers, one
third of the million employees are en-
gagged directly in the operating of
trains. Over quarter of a million
men are needed to keep tracks in re-
pair, while another quarter of a mil
lion are required In shops and else
where to maintain the plant.

FOR THE CHILDREN
A Bird That Plays 81 Spy"

Did you ever know bird that could
play 81 spy?''
Well, Manuela, our parrot, likes
nothing better than to have the chill
dren gather in the back yard and make
ready for game of 81 spy" says Julia
B. Tutwiler in Little Folks. OF course
she doesn't hide as the children do-oh,
no, she thinks her part of the game Is
10 keep watch.
Just as soon as the counter goes to
The base, shuts his eyes and begins to
say "5, 10, 10, 20, %, 30' and so on to
100, Manuela runs for the pine tree
hnd up she climbs to the highest limb.
From this perch she can see behind the
barn, around the corner of the house
and back of the garden fence; in fact,
she has a good view of all the nice
hiding places.
| wish you could see Manuela climb.
She has great. long, crooked bill,
which she hooks into the bark OF the
tree and pulls herself up until she gets
to the limbs. After that it is very
easy. She looks so funny with her
long tail hanging down, for, you see
Manuela is a macaw and has red tail
taree feet long.
She is not green like most parrots,
but is red, with bright blue and yellow
rings. She looks like a great big, beau
tiful flower up among the dark green
pine branches.
When everybody is hidden and the
counter begins to spy around to see
whom he can find Manuela calls as
loud as she can from the top of the
pine tree: Coming! Com-i-n-g!" And,
oh, when race for the base takes place
between two of the swiftest runners
you should hear her scream and laugh:
"One, two, three, for me! Free! Freew
She says, "All free; free u.s." and all
the other things the children say in the
game, and she never gets tired of play
ing.
Manuela seems to love little children
more than anything, and lots of little
boys and girls come to see her. What
do you suppose little girl asked the
other day? She asked, "Is that the bird
that lays the Easter eggs?" You see,
Manuela is blue and red and yellow and
green and purple, just like an Easter
egg, and it was very natural for child
to think she might lay those pretty
eggs.

Children and the President.

Many stories are told of the affection
Theodore Roosevelt entcrtains for chill
dren, be they from the daintiest homes
or from the streets. One day when he
was governor a delegation of public
men came up to Albany and called up
on him. He was not In his Office. and
no one knew where he was. The bust
ness was important and time not to be
wasted. A dozen messengers were sent
hunting the governor, and after ten
minutes of the precious time had pass
ed they found him curled up In cor
ner with one or two neighbors' chill
dren and a street arab drawing pic
lures of guns and ponies on the writ
ing table. The children had waylaid
him and begged him to show them pic
lures of the guns and mustangs he had
in the war. At another time he was
found in the executive chamber half
buried under children clambering over
his chair, while he tried to show them
photographs of scenes of the campaign.

Animal Instinct.

Animal instinct often gives a yalua

Gently written review of the subject OF
dams. The beaver, he says. does not
build his dam straight across the cur
rent, his instinct telling him that in

hint from the little animal has been
acted upon in many cases lately, nota-
bly, in the building of the Great Bear
valley dam in California. Engineers
as rule, build straight across stream
chiefly, perhaps. to save material, but
the arched dam is the more economical

There is nothing sweeter than the lit
tie three cornered beechnuts, but very
few people have the patience to take
them out of their brown leathery jack
cts, let alone hunt for them and pick
them up. They are generally left fol
the pigs and the squirrels. Many birds
are exceedingly fond of them, and it is
said that in certain localities the mum
ber of redheaded woodpeckers which
remain for the winter can be pretty ac
curately determined by the size of the
beechnut crop the preceding autumn.

The QuarrelsOme Kittens.

Two little kittens,
One stormy night.
Began to quarrel
And then to fight
One had mouse,
And the other had none,
And that's the way
The quarrel begun.
81 will have that mouse"
Said the biggest cat.
you'll have that mouse9
Well see about thatr
s..a.,
81 will have that mouse"
T. Said the tortoise shell.
And, splitting and scratching,
On her sister she fell.
=
The old lady took
The sweeping broom
And swept them both
Right out OF the room.
The ground was covered
Thick with snow;
They had lost the mouse
And had nowhere to go.
So they lay and Ehivered
Beside the door
Till the old lady had finished
Sweeping the floor.
And then they crept in
= As quiet as mice,
All wet with snow
Aod cold as ice.
And found it much better
That stormy night
~ To lie by the fire
Than quarrel dnd fight.

COMMON Law MARRIAGES.
The United States Court of Appeals Holds
That Thoy Are Legal in a Breach
of Promise Suit.

St. Louis, Nov. 26.-The United
States court of appeals, in reversing
the decisions of the United States
district court of the Indian territory
and the Indian territory court of APP
peaIs, which were in favor of Rose
Pryor, who sued Samuel T. Davis, a
wealthy merchant of the Cherokee
nation, for alleged breach of promise,
decided yesterday that common law
marriages are legal.
In delivering the opinion of the APP
pellate court Judge Adams said:
Marriage is a civil contract and
may be made by any persons of dif-
ferent sexes competent to make such
contracts. While commonly entered
into with some ceremony, either civil
or religious, it may be consummated
without any ceremony. If a man and
woman, in good faith, agree to be-
come husband and wife, and this
agreement is followed by a consist
ent and notorious cohabitation, the
relation of husband and wife is law
fully established"

PRIZE MONEY AWARDS.
Admiral Dewey Gets $3.50, Rear Admit
raj Sampson S25,417 and Rear Ad-
miraI Schley S216.

Washington, Nov. 27.-To Admiral
Dewey, $3.50; to Rear Admiral Samp-
son, $25,417; to Rear Admiral Schley,
1915. Those are the amounts of boun-
ty money given to Admiral Dewey for
his victory at Manila; to Sampson,
commander-in-chief at the battle of
Santiago, and to Rear Admiral
Schley, who was in command of the
second division of the fleet in the
fight against Cervera. These figures
illustrate one point in the Importance
of the contention that Rear Admiral
Schley was the actual commander-in-
chief at the battle of Santiago. The
commander-in-chief receives one
twentieth of the whole amount of the
bounty, and the commander of a di-
vision, such as Schley, receives only
one-fftieth part of the amount
awarded to the vessels composing his
division.

CONCENTRATION CAMPS.
A BOer Preacher Tells OF Some of the
Horrors of the South AfrI-

New York, Nov. 27.-Rev. Herman
D. Van Broeckhuysen, a Boer preach
er, addressed meeting of Boer SYM
pathizers here last night. He de-
clared the Beers would never surren-
der and then devoted most of the
remainder of his talk to a description
of the concentration camps. He said:
There are "a of these camps along
the line of the railroad. They are
surrounded with barbed wire fences
ten feet high and outside of these
fences armed British soldiers are on
guard. The women and children sleep
on the bare ground, in tents or open
barracks. They are allowed one-half
pound of meat, One-quarter of an
ounce of coffee, two ounces of sugar
and little salt every day. They are
practically living skeletons. In En-
gland and Wales the average death
rate is 10 in 1000. In these camps in
South Africa the death rate was 264
in 1000, while the death rate among
the children was 433 in 1000. Unless
some remedy is effected there will be
no children Left

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 25.-The official
bulletin by the Kansas board of ag-
rieulture, giving the years yield of
winter and spring wheat and corn,
and their home values, was issued Sat
urday. 1t contains the first figures
emanating from the board as to the
seasons products. The state produced
90,045,514 bushels of wheat, valued at
50,479,5 $40, from an acreage of $685.
SAT. The crop of corn aggregates only
42,605,672 bushels from 6, 722, 1913 acres,
but the value of the crop is placed at
21,731,2 15. According to the records

A MEDAL DUE HIM.
Lieut.. Van shaick, of the Fourth Infantry,
Exhibits Remarkable Bravery In
Battle with Insurgents.

Manila, Nov. 26.-Second Lieut..
Louis J. Van Schaick, of the Fourth
infantry, while scouting with few
men of that regiment, met $50 insur-
gents who had attacked and sacked
the hamlet of Siaraca, near Cavite.
Upon seeing the Filipinos Van
Scbaick ordered his men to charge
them. The command was obeyed and
Van Schaick, being mounted, reached
the insurgents 60 yards in advance of
his men. He killed three of them
with his revolver. An insurgent fired
his rife point blank at Van Schaick
at four PAGES, but missed. Lieut.. Van
Schaick was then knocked from his
horse. He jumped to his feet and en-
gagged in hand-to-hand conflict with
the enemy, using the butt of his re-
volver. He sustained two severe
wounds, one of which nearly severed
his wrist. At this point the heuten-
ants men arrived, rescued him and
put the insurgents to flight. Van
Schaick is in the military hospital at
Manila and is doing well. He has al
ready been recommended for medal
of honor for bravery in a previous en-
gagement.
