Uncle Terry Coming.

James K. Waite as Uncle Terry" has
been one Of the successes Of the theatri-
cal season and will appear at the Howe
Opera House, Feb. 20. "Uncle Terry"
was dramatized by William Gill. The
scene is laid in Southport, Maine, and is
widely known. The lighthouse which
figures with so much prominence is Hen
bricks headlight and of the revolving
type, and in the production this revolv-
ing light effect is striking, as is also the
beach on the Southport shore. The
piece is well staged, the prologue show
ing snow storm with realistic effect.
The settings in the several acts are on an
elaborate scale, and the company is an
excellent one. Mr.. Waite has selected a
character which be well fills and which
places him in a favorable light with
actors who have attempted the portray,
al OF the rural characters.

The Pelican Smiled.

There is sly old pelican in Central
park which has an almost human way
of noticing what goes on about him
without seeming to do so. The other
day two herons in the same cage with
him fought over Il fish. One had made
the catch, but the other had under
taken to wrest the mOrsel. from its
rightful pOssessor.
They squabbled over it like two boys
who have hold Of the same baseball
bat. The scuffle brought them into the
neighborhOod of the old pelican, who
stood, apparently asleep, with his big
bill tucked away under wing. Then
the heron dropped it's fish. and the bat
tie went on.
No sooner had it been dropped than
the great bill came out from under
meath the wing and the fish went into
the pelican's pouch. Then the head dis
appeared again. The pelican was
plainly asleep.
When one heron gave up the fight
and flew away, the other looked about
for. the prize. 1t was nowhere to be
seen. The keeper of the bird cages sol
EMMY asserts that he saw twinkle
in the eye which the pelican opened to
give a glance at the retreating heron

A distinguished member of the Unit

he still has something to learn in the
direction of agriculture.
He bought farm as summer home
for his family and finds especial de-
light in walking about the place, com
menting on the condition Of the crops
and in many ways showing his inter
est in his new possessions.
One evening during the summer he
was strolling over the farm. The hired
man had cut the grass during the day,
a very thin crop, and had left it lying
on the ground to dry. The judge saw
it, and calling his man, he said:
at seems to me you are very care
less. Why haven't you been more par
ticular in raking up this hay? Don't
you see that you have left little drib-
blings all around"
For a minute the hired man stared,
wondering if the judge was quizzing
him. Then he replied:

Cave Animals.

No animals whatever are found IN
the dry parts Of caves. Dampness or
q certain degree of moisture seems to
be essential to their existence. Under
the stones one finds white, eyeless
worms, and in the damp soil all around
about are to be discovered blind beetles
in little holes which they excavate and
hugs of the thousand leg sort. These
thousand leg bugs, which in the upper
world devour fragments of dead leaves
and other vegetable debris, sustain lie
in the caverns by feeding upon decay
ed wood, fungous growths and bats
dung. Kneeling in beaten path one
can see numbers Of them gathered
about hardened drips Of tallow from
tourists candles. There are plenty OF
crickets also.

by Mr.. Leadman in his account Of

There is a gentleman in Boston who
spent a number of years among the
various little South American repub-
lies and who gives an interesting ac-
count of the methods Of one Of these
small states when it comes to a ques-
ton of making war. The navy OF
the particular power referred to con-
sists of a single old fashioned side
wheel steamer, armed with one gun.
In time of peace she is engaged in haul
ing freight UP and down the river
which runs close to the capital.
At the outbreak of one Of the peri
odical wars not so very long ago the
president of the republic took charge
of the steamer and started up stream
on a recruiting expedition, leaving his
senior general in charge Of the military
preparations at the capital. A couple
of days later the steamer returned,
and some seventy miserable looking
natives, each firmly bound with
strong rope, were marched off and
turned over to the general, with a note
from the president which read:
Dear Gener9l-I send you herewith sew
enty volunteers. Please return the ropes
at once.
