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 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 scuffie 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. TWAS nowhere to be
seen. The keeper of the bird cages sol
EMMY asserts that he saw a twinkle
in the eye which the pelican opened to
give, a glance at the retreating heron

Peculiar Roses.

One of the wars of the roses, the
fiercest and deadliest Of them all, was
fought on a field where, curiously
enough, rose peculiar to the spot
grows or used to grow. 1t is rare
plant now, and the reason is explained
by Mr.. Leadman in his account Of
Yorkshire battles. After describing
the terrible battle at Towton on Palm
Sunday, 1851, he says: Il cannot con-
clude this story of Towton field with
out an allusion to the little dwarf
bushes peculiar to the Field Of the
White Rose and the Red
''They are said to have been plenti-
full at the commencement of this CEN
fury, but the visitors have taken them
away in such numbers that they have
become rare. Such vandalism is sim
ply shameful, for the plants are said
to be unique and unable to exist in any
other soil. The little roses are white,
with red spot on the center Of each
Of their petals, and as they grow old
the under surface becomes dull red

In south America

There is a gentleman in Boston who
spent q number of years among the
various little South American repub-
lies and who gives an interesting &C
count of the methods of one Of these
small states when it comes to ques-
ton of making war. The navy" OF
the particular power referred to con-
sists of 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 perl
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 q
strong rope, were marched off and
turned over to the general, with note
from the president which read:
Dear General-I send you herewith sew
enty volunteers. Please return the ropes
at once.

Didn't Recognize 1t.

A distinguished member of the Unit
ed States judiciary has discovered that
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 ne
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:
cit 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:
"Little dribblings! Why, man, that's

FRAME OF IcEHoUsE.

forego this luxury, when almost any
kind Of shed will preserve the ice
very well, provided it is properly pack
ed. Our present icehouse is built as
cheaply as possible and took less than
days work in construction. The fig
ure shows the plan of the framework.
We used white oak poles set into the
ground about two feet. Some cheap
hardwood bill stuff of 2 by and 2 by
pieces were used for plates, nail ties,
braces and rafters. A fair grade of
pine stock boards IL inches wide was
used for siding. The siding was nail
ed on the inside of the poles horizontal
ly, better to resist lateral pressure from
the packed ice and sawdust. A better
grade of stock boards one foot wide
furnished good roof. Such board
roof should be made quite steep to
shed water and, with kerfs cut on each
edge, makes almost perfect roof.
The figure shows how the kerfs are
cut, one-half inch wide and three
eighths of an inch deep. The roof
boards should be dressed on their upper
surface, and the kerfs should be cut at
| least three-fourths of an inch from
each edge. The mill operator sets the
buzzsaw out of line on the mandrel
shaft just right to make half inch
wabble. Nail the roof boards on
each edge, outside the kerfs, and drive
| one nail in the center of the board.
Our icehouse cost us less than SIS and
will last as long and keep ice just as
we'll as one costing 500 or more.

The Prayer That Hurt.

A member of certain Massachu-
sets parish, prominent for his thrift
and personal consequence, was also
notorious for his overbearing assump-
lions and pompous airs. Under the dis
tress and fright Of a dangerous illness
he put up notes. on several successive
Sundays, and after his recovery, ac-
cording to usage, he offered note to
be read by the minister expressive Of
his thanks.
The minister was somewhat large"
in this part of his prayer, recalling the
danger and the previous petitions Of
the squire" and returning his CRATE
full Acknowledgements with the prayer
that the experience might be blessed
to the spiritual welfare Of the restored
man. He closed with these words:
"And we pray, o Lord, that thy serv-
ant may, be cured of that ungodly
strut, so offensive in the sanctuary"

Cave Animals.

No animals whatever are found in
the dry parts Of caves. Dampness or
a 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
bugs of the thousand leg sort. These
thousand leg bugs, which in the upper
world devour fragments of dead leaves
and other vegetable debris, sustain life
in the cayerns by feeding upon decay
ed wood, fungous growths and bats
dung. Kneeling in a beaten path one
can see numbers Of them gathered
about hardened drips Of tallow from
tourists candles. There are plenty of
crickets also.

Tradition sometimes plays strange
FRANKS with dead mems regulations.
1t would make an interesting half hour
for the eavesdropper beyond the Styx
if he could hear the exchange Of amen.
ities between Duns Scotus and Judge
Lynch, the one shrewd, clear reason
er, whose name now signifies a fool;
the other a simple Quaker gentleman,
whose name has come to stand for or
ganized savagery.
Charles Lynch was a man whose
services to his country as brave pion-
eer and righteous judge, as soldier
and statesman, are by no means de-
serving Of oblivion, still less of oblo-
guy. 1t seems indeed one Of the in
EQUITIES Of fate that his name should
now be universally applied to proceed
ings that no one would condemn more
heartily than he. The records Of the
court of Bedford county, in Virginia,
and those of various Quaker meetings,
the journals of the Virginia house Of
burgesses and of the first constitu-
tional convention, taken together with
i family documents and traditions, show
him to have been an upright and useful
member of society and wise and en-
| ergetic leader at the most important
crisis of American history.-Atlantic.

Its Outline Remains an Unparalleled
Idea In Architecture.
The greatest of the architectural en-
terprises Michael Angelo was called up
on to take up was the completing Of
st. Peters, and he devoted himself
through pure obedience to this task,
refusing all compensation, offering his
unpaid services in that way both to
his master and to the service of reli-
gion.
He had to struggle against the OPP
posing ideas of the architects in charge
of the monument, who held by later
plans than those Of the first deviser,
and their enmity and misapprehension
of what was best aimed at a continual
thwarting of all his Intentions He
managed, however, to bring back the
building to it's original plan, that of
his greatest enemy, Bramante, upon
whom he has left this noble judgment.

Bramante laid the first plan of st. Pc
ter's clear and simple, and all who
have departed from his scheme have

We have not the great cathedral as
Michael wished it, nor can we see in
it the creation of his genius. But the
one thing that Michael Angelo left to
his successors in the work is the cupo-
la, whose outline remains as an unpar-
alleled idea. as important a landmark
in architecture as his other records of
achievement in painting and sculpture.

Interesting Facts.

According to The Indusrialist,
wheat experiments conducted at the
Kansas Agricultural college for eight
cen years show that proper prepare
ton before seeding increases the yield
10 per cent. Steers fed the ordinary
ration fatten in from five to seven
months. On balanced ration they
are ready for market in from 80 to 100
days, and feeder who knows how
can produce a balanced ration as
cheaply as the ordinary one. The col
lege purchased half of farmers herd
Of hogs, taking fair average Of the
lot, and fattened these hogs in fifty
days, while the farmer, doing the best
he could, marketed his in 10 days.
The college spent less for feed and had
risk from disease for less than half
the time. By feeding alfalfa hay with
grain to fattening hogs the college
secured 1853 pounds Of pork per ton Of
hay fed. 1t pays to know what type
of animal gives best results for feed
consumed. In 1898 scrub COW Of the
dairy type gave milk worth $4037
above cost Of the feed, while another
scrub not Of the dairy type yielded
milk during the year worth $6.25 less
than her feed. Steers of the beef type
required one-half the feed consumed
by steers not having a beef form to
make pound of gain.

AN ELKHoRN ENGINEER HURT.

Has u Close CALI

James Stanton, the Popular Engineer,
Has u Close Cali.
When about five miles north Of Buff
falo Gap last Friday morning the en-
gine of north bound passenger train
No. on the Elkhorn railroad had a
serious mishap that came near killing
engineer James Stanton. While de-
cendlng a grade the side rod of the
drive wheels on one side broke and in
flying around struck the side of the en-
gine cab, tearing it loose and threw
Engineer Stanton against the ceiling
Of the cab with terrible force. He was
rendered unconscious and seemed to
be seriously injured. Division Supt.
Harmon sent q special train with DIR.
c. W. Hargens the company physician
of this place, who was taken to Buffalo
Gap. a distance of 13 miles, in 16 min
utes. The special brought the injured
ran to the hospital at this place, and
vas accompanied here by MIR. Stanton's
wife and daughter, Division Supt. F.
A. Harmon and eA.Division Supt. E.
G. Harris and wife, who are personal
lends of the family and were brought
from Chadron by special train. DR..
Ilargens says Mr.. Stanton's spine is
badly hurt and that he is painfully
bruised but expects that he will ulti-
mately recover. The whole train had
q narrow escape from running away,
for the engineer was unconscious aud
the fireman had jumped from the en-
gine. By some miraculous chance,
however, the flying rod struck the
lever that controls the air brake and
turned it SO that it put on the brakes,
thus fortunately stopping the train
quickly, and possibly preventing the
wrecking of the whole train.
LATER-Since the foregoing was writ.
ten Mr.. Stanton has continued to inn
prove and will soon be able to be about.
