Po..led tn. interpreter.

A young Philadelphia, who was
born and raised in the fourth ward,
saved enough money to pay the sx-
penses incidental to a European trip
last summer, and by strict economy the
trip was strung out to a period of
little over six months He landed home
last week, coming in the steerage with
agents, with their interpreters, were
wide-awake- The young Philadelphia
is very dark, and he was mistaken for
a foreigner One OF the Interpreters
came up to him and said: ''Moczesh
mouveet Pc Polski ?'' They're trying to
string me-" thought the fourth ward
man. '1'n keep it up So he shook
his head. The Interpreter was asking
him if he could speak Polish. Then
he changed to Russian, asking, "Moc-
zesh govorett pc Rousski?" Again
the supposed foreigner shook his head.
"Redden Sic Yiddish?'' asked the in
terpreter. This was followed by an
other shake of the head. Then in or
der the interpreter asked: Farley vous
Francaise?" ''Sprechen sic Deutsch?"
and "Parlate Italiona?" A negative
shake of the head followed each query
For my sake, what language do you
speak?' exclaimed the interpreter. The
supposed foreigner laughed, That's
the stuff he said. "Why didn't you
ask me that first?'' The interpreter
nearly collapsed.

To the Loser.


So you've lost your race, lad?
Ran it clean and fast?
Beaten at the tape, lad?
Rough? Yes, but it's past.
Never mind the losing
Think of how you ran;
Smile and shut your teeth, lad
Take it like man.
Not the winning counts, had,
But the winning fair;
Not the losing shames, lad,
But the weak despair;
So, when failure stuns you,
Don't forget your plan
Smile, and shut your teeth, lad
Take it like a mani
Diamonds turned to paste, lad?
Night instead of morn?
Where you'd pluck rose, lad,
Oft you'd grasp a thorn?
Time will heal the bleeding
Life is but span;
Smile, and shut your teeth, lad
Take it like a man,
Then, when sunset comes, lad,
When your fighting's through,
And the Silent Guest, lad,
Fills his cup for you,
Shrink not-clasp it coolly-
End as you began;
Smile and close your eyes, lad
And take it like a man!

INDIAN MISSIONARIES STORY.
Years of Toilsome A1inhtry Among the
ChoctaWs.

Years of Toilsome Ministry Among the
Choctaws
Little York. Ind, April 1.-(Special).
Twenty-Five years ago the Rev. G..
HI. Thompson left Indiana. For a
time he preached in Arkansas, after
wards entering on the regular mission
airy work among the Choctaw Indians.
For five years he lived and labored
among the full bloods OF the western
prairies. until on April 9th, 1885, hav-
ing lost his wife, he left the circuit
on which he had preached SO long, and
commenced travelling missionary
work among the Indians of the various
tribes scattered in the west.
This Irregular work involved a great
deal of travel over the prairies. The
drinking of SO much alkan water,
brought on kidney troubles which
terminated in Diabetes.
Finally, while laboring among the
Creek Indians at Wagner, Indian
Territory. this noble man was strick-
en- down completely. A Chicago spe-
cialist was summoned. and after q
careful examination declared that there
was not the slightest chance of his re-
covery. Besides the prescriptions of
the doctors he tried many other medi-
cines, but all to no avail. He says:
Il had concluded that my days were
drawing to q close, when 1 picked up
an almanac telling of the cures OF Dia-
betes by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
1 sent for two boxes. gained strength
and spirits from the time 1 commenced
to use them, and so sent for more.
am now completely cured, and have
not the slightest symptom of my old
trouble.
II am ss years of age I tell every
body Of the wonders Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done for me. I can certainly
endorse them heartily, and vouch that
they are all that is claimed for them.
They have certainly been q God-send
to me-
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only
Remedy that has ever cured Bright's
Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy and they
never fail.

establish camps for consumptiyes In
the various forest reservations OF the

believed that the sufferings of the dis

probable that the first camp will be
opened on the reservation In Clinton

feet above the level of the sea- This
reservation has an area of $4,000 acres
and is adjoined by two other large res

The geological gardens of Berlin
contain, perhaps, the largest collection
of ostriches in the world. Their keep
er. August Wedel, has trained several
of them to draw light two-wheeled
vehicles. At first he found it very diff
ficult to subject them to harness and
bit, but after months of patient work,
four of the big birds are now excellent
trotters- They are 1eet-footed and can
outrun anything on the driveways of
the Thiergarten-
Among the other odd rigs in the ZOO
logical park is a fine team of zebras
and a big cart drawn by a baby ele-
plant. The keepers allow the child
rem to ride in these, but not behind the
ostriches.

The Chicago, Rock Island e. Pacific

Learn to Protect tn. Birds.


Italy is the first country in the world
where systematic effort has been
made to enlist the children in the
work of protecting the wild birds from
harm. DR.. Vitelanio Tonta recently
pointed out to the, leading Italian
teachers that little children could easily
be taught to love birds and that this
lesson, once learned, would never be
forgotten whereas, if the lesson were
not taught until the children were
grown up little heed would be paid to It
except by those persons who were nat
urally sympathetic and fond of dumb
creatures. In Germany, France and
England, he said, there Sre many per-
sons who are interested in birds and
who are doing what they can to pre-
vent them from being killed for the
sake of their plumage, but in order to
do really effectual work a more thor
ough crusade is needed and it is only
from the ranks of children that crusad-
ers of the right type can be obtained.
The doctors suggestion has attracted
a good deal of attention and many
think it would he well for teachers
throughout the country to carry it into
effect, which they could easily do by
simply impressing on their pupils the
fact that it is wrong to be cruel to-
ward birds or other innocent creatures.

Doing His Best.

Mr.. M. B. Thrasher, a friend of Tus-
kegee Institute and it's pupils, says
that he once made inquiries about a
certain graduate, a shopkeeper in Ala
bama, who seemed to be doing a thriv-
ing business.
What kind of a man is this Wood,
the colored merchant down the street?'
he asked in the store of white man,
judging that there, if anywhere, he
might hear an unfavorable opinion.
The merchant supposed Mr.. Thrasher
to be a travelling salesman, and an
swered:
you can sell him any amount of
goods. He'll pay for them every
time
Then Mr.. Thrasher went on to the
store, where he found everything in
the most prosperous condition. In the
course of his talk with the merchant
they stepped to the open back door,
and there Wood began calling, "Suke,
Suke. Suke! Ho. there, Sukev'
Then there came grunting under
meath the floor, which was raised a lit
tie from the ground, and presently
there came crawling out an enormous
hog.
That's my hog" said the merchant.
81 raise one every year, though there's
no reason why 1 should, for I'm not
married, and 1 don't keep house. 1
raise them as object lessons. 1t doesn't
take much of anything to feed them,
except the waste from the store, and
see how fat they grow!
Then 1 get the negro farmers who
come here to trade to look at my hog,
and see what can be done by keeping
the animals shut up and fed, instead
of letting them run wild. Then 1 tell
them they might as well have hogs
like mine as their thin razor-backs.
All they need to do is to shut up the
pig in a pen of rails and set the child

Guided. Il tried that and failed. But

rh,. story About Monkey.


As everybody knows, monkeys are
very fond of watching what men do
and then hooking them by doing the
same thing themselves. In the coun-
tries where the monkeys live and men
sometimes catch them by bringing ba-
sins filed with water and spying about
until they see some monkey. When
they see that the monkeys perched ON
the tree are watching what is going on
the men begin to wash their hands in
the water they have brought The
monkeys all the while keep looking on
and no doubt wonder what the wash
ing is for When the men have wash
ed their hands over and over great
many times they at length go away
and take the basins with them But
under the trees in which the monkeys
are seated they leave other basins dIled

STRAW HAT STYLES
FOR NEXT SEASON.

Straw hat styles for next year are
just out The new shape of the mems
Panama is a wonder. 1t shows an
earnest effort Of the Panama hat to
get back to the first principles of con
struction and form. The new shape is
exactly similar to that worn in South
American countries. 1t resembles
very much the form Of Uncle Reuben's
straw hat years ago, Immediately after
a rain storm had taken advantage OF
it's unprotected condition.
Imagine a wide brim exactly round
the crown drawn to a point and then
pressed gently down half way until it
has much the appearance Of cone
with the top sawed off and you have
the shape of your new Panama; just
the kind that the South American
senior delights in decorating with a
single feather from the tail of a bald
headed eagle.
The demand for the new shape is
said to be brisk-in some parts OF the
country. Local dealers, to use their
own expression are "Ieary of it. They
say that the nearest that the northwest
has ever come to it has been the hats
worn by the occasional real thing Mex
lean who has wandered this way. They
are buying the old shapes principally
and letting Panama conduct his own
campaign OF education Another thing
that may initiate against the Panama
headpiece is the price, which will be
high, as the togul is of very fine quail.
