Naval omcer 1nvents /. Game.

One of the latest fads is go-f croque:
It was originated by Lieutenant Com
mander Henry McCrea of the United
States navy. The balls used are SINH
lar to ordinary croquet balls only
made smaller. The mallet is also
shaped somewhat like the croquet
mallet, but has a longer and more
solid handle, like the golf club One
end of the mallet is lofted or cut OFF
at an angle, SO that in the first drive,
which is made exactly as in a game of
golf, the ball is sent a much longer
distance than in ordinary croque.
The wickets used in golf croquet ar&
square topped, and are placed irregu
larly and at irregular distances, sc
that the ground resembles miniature
golf course with wickets instead of
holes When near wicket the shot is
made with the straight edge of the
mallet- The game has the merit of
occupying less space than a golf
course. is easier played and requires
far less exertion. Complete sets for
playing golf croquet comprise four
persimmon-head ma1Iets, with hickory
stats and leather grips, six whitewood
balls and nine nickel plated wickets

A BEN BUTLER VETERAN.

John Budd, old and quaint, has for
years been the toll-gatherer at the end
of the Wiscasset bridge, the longest
in the State of Maine. A few days
ago Budd was sitting in the sun at
the door of his little booth, smoking
his pipe. Two young men, evidently
city boys on a pedestrian tour, came
along across the bridge and stopped to
pay their toll. They eased their KNAPP
sacks off their shoulders, and sat down
on bench at the side of the booth for
a moments rest. Budd naturally asked
them whence they had come and
whittier they were going. Our home
is in New Orleans" said the older of
the young men. I'VE are up here in
Maine for the summer" 81 stopped in
New Orleans at one time" said Budd.
when was that?" When / was with
General Butler well, you can't be
very proud of that And why not,
you young snippet?'' demanded Budd,
with just as much asperity. Because
Butler was an insulter of women,
tyrant, and an old thief-that's what
he was-and the boys of New Orleans
who never saw him hate him just as
much as the men and the women who
suffered from his orders. And, besides,
he stole all the spoons out of my
grandfather's hote1?" He did, eh -
snapped Budd. What was the name
of your grandfather's hotel?" THE st.
Charles you just wait a moment,
young man. Budd went upstairs to
his living room and brought down a
heavy canvas bag. He opened it and
took out a handful of spoons On the
handle was engraved st Charles"
What do those look Hke?, demanded
Budd. why, those are some of the
spoons from my grandfather's hotel"
ga.ped the young man. Where did
you come on those?" Il stole EN-"
said Budd placidly; land l know who
stole the rest OF 'em, and we all did
it at the risk of our lives, for, if Cen
eral Butler had known it he would
have had us strung up Now, you take
back what you said about him. Take
it back or l will dump you both over
the rail there Daunted by the glare
in the eyes of the old man, the boys
apologized for their hasty words Then
the older said: Sir my father Will
pay any price for those old spoons
don't know just how much money l
have with me, but / will give it to you,
every cent, if you will give me those
memorials of my grandfather They
can be worth nothing more to you
now Let me tell YOU replied
Budd, that you couldn't bring money
enough in a two-horse wagon to buy
one of them I'm not a thief; I'm not
trying to make money by stealing l
took those spoons as plumber of war,
and I'm going to keep EN- You can't
buy 'em and you can't tease 'em away
No use to try And. if you want to
save your spoons that you've got now
down there, don't you ever declare war
against the North again These spoons
staying up here in Maine viii be jog
to your memory" And, in spite of all
their arguments and protests, the
young men were Obliged to trudge

In many OF the western and midland
counties of England the nineteenth
century closed with the most terrible
floods within living memory. Happily
few lives were lost, but hundreds of
folk-mostly poor-were washed out of
hearth and home. Farmers, small and
great, lost cattle, sheep and poultry,
and immense damage was done to all
kinds of property. One comic incident
was remarked at Alcester in Worces-
tershire. When the water fell the rec
tor took his walks abroad to see what
loss he had suffered. AS he passed
through an orchard he was greeted
with the piercing sGueals of a per-
picked pig, which had got mixed up in
the boughs of damson tree. Probably
it had been borne into the branches by
the rising food. When the waters
went down it was left high. and pos
sibly dry, but terrified out of its wits.
