Ostrich-Hunting In Nubia.

Ostrich hunting involves good riding,
and is animated sport. Having ascer-
tanned here o nest is to be found, three
or four mounted men go out on the
plain together, and one OF them rides In
the direction of the nest.
Instantly the bird sees him 1t starts of
at tremendous pace; the hunter follow
ing in hot pursuit, until, after running
perhaps couple OF miles, the ostrich be-
gins to circle, its object being to get back
to it's nest, from W bich 1t fondly hopes II
has diverted its pursuer.
The other hunters, who are scattered
over the plain, take up the running by
turns, succeeding each other as each
horse becomes spent; they are thus able
to press the bird 10 it's utmost speed
until it falls exhausted on the ground,
with outstretched wings, gasp;ng for
breath.
The nearest hunter then galiops up and
sewers its head with blow from his
sword. Hastily dismounting, he at
once seizes the stump and thrusts it into
the sand to prevent the feathers from
being soiled by the blood, which is spurt-
ing in ali directions from the con-
vuIsive movements of the neck, even
after death.
The feat hers of a full grown bird fetch
from $50 to S75 at Kassala, where they ere
bought by Arab traders from Cairo, but
they ultimately realize treble that value
in the European markets. - Hdrper's

If James L. Norris, the District of
Columbia member of the democratic
national committee, knows what he is
talking about, Mr.. Bryan has lost his
hold upon that committee, although
he had been generally supposed to
thoroughly dominate majority of its
members. Mr.. Norris declares very
positively that he has received letters
from majority of the members of
the democratic national committee,
endorsing the action of the Ohio con-
vention in throwing Organism over
board. The declaration ought to fur
nish Mr.. Bryan with material for a
little serious reflection, because, if it
be true, it means that he has been de-
posed as the democratic leader.

A Maine girl, Miss Mary Preble
Anderson, of Portland, will christen
the new battleship "Maine" which is
to be launched at Cramps yards,
Philadelphia, on July 25. The desig-
nation of young lady for this honor
was left to Senator Hale, who in turn
delegated it to Gov. Hill, who named
Miss Anderson. She is the daughter
of William II. Anderson, of Portland,
who formerly served as paymaster in
the navy; a granddaughter of the
Hon. Hugh j. Anderson, formerly
governor of Maine; a niece of Lieu
tenant Commander Edward E. Preble,
who was navigating officer of the

Gov. Allen, of Porto Rico, passed
through Washington, en- route to
Canton, to confer with President Nc
Kinley concerning the proclamation
declaring free trade between the
United States and Porto Rico. Gov.
Allen was ready enough to talk about
Porto Rico and its steady increase in
prosperity and bright future, but he
smiled and changed the subject when
he was asked if the report that he
would resign the governorship and not
return to Porto Rico, was true.

refers to Rear Admiral Schley as a

Wainwright, superintendent of the
naval academy, to strike the volume
from the list of text books used. In
addition, the secretary made public a
statement in which he said: 81 know

And give 1t a permanent place In the heart.

Eyes bright as berry.

The groan and the curse and the heartache can

But happy and cheerful,

Surry girl, loyal to her mother state
debt she owes to that mother. In paying
1t she has won the admiration of all who
have been cognizant OF the facts, and has
made every son and daughter of Maine
her debtor in gratitude. The story is
quickly told. 1t is in connection with the
Pan American exposition at Buffalo.
At one time it looked as il Maine would
not be represented in the New England
building at the exposition. The legis-
lature made no appropriation, and 1t
seemed surprisingly hard to arouse state
pride to the pitch OF untying private
purse strings. 1t was at this moment
that the Surry girl came bravely
to the rescue OF Maine pride. She was
Mrs. A. L. Hudson, wife of the pastor OF a
Unitarian church in Buffalo, who has q
summer home at East Surry. 1t was too
much for this loyal daughte of Maine to
sit idly by and watch the other states
busy with their exhibits while Maine did
nothing. Her pride in her old home
state was aroused. Maine must be rep
resented. To think was to act. Day and
night she worked and wrote and planned.
The scant encouragement she met with at
first did not daunt her. Gradually her
ringing letters to prominent men of
Maine took effect, and things began to
happen. At great expense OF her own
time and money, Maine room was fur
nished in the New England building.
In the meantime state pride was being
aroused in Maine by boards OF trade,
private individuals and Mrs. Hudson's
letters, and fund was raised for Maine
exhibit. Only little over week ago
the Pan-American commission appointed
by Gov. Hill went to Buffalo and relieved
Mrs. Hudson Of her self-imposed duties.
And this is why we say every son and
daughter Of Maine owes Mrs. Hudson a
debt of gratitude.
