RecoRni,ed Their old FrieAd.

The late Sir John Steel. who was
sculptor to Queen Victoria. was model
ing a bust Of Miss Nightingale when
an officer OF one of the highland regi-
ments which had suffered SO cruelty in
the Crimea heard that the bust had
just been completed and was In Sir
Johns studio Many of the men in his
company had passed through the hos
pital at Scutari. and he obtained per
mission from the sculptor to bring
some of them to see it Accordingly a
squad of men one day marched into
the studio and stood In line.
They had no idea why they had been
mustered in SO strange place. With

uncovered, and then as by one I'M

cries of Miss Nightingale. Miss Night

The capsiZing OF vessel tied up to

Fundy and its tributary streams. The
usual rise and fall OF the tide along
that bay is from forty to tfty feet. and

With the fall of tue tide all craft are
left high. but by no means dry. with
an area of chocolate colored mud all

to hold vessel i'm safety. SO each pier

stork. Are queer Creatures.

The owner Of house near Berlin
found single egg In the nest of a
pair of storks built on the chimney
and substituted for 1t a goose's egg.
which In due time was hatched and
produced a gosling instead of the ex-
pected storkllng. The male bird was
thrown into the greatest excitement
by this event and finally few away.
The female. however. remained on the
nest and continued to care for the
changeling as though it were her own
offspring.
On the morning Of the fourth day
the male reappeared accompanied by
nearly 500 storks. which held a mass
meeting in an adjacent field. The
assembly. we are Informed, was ad-
dressed by several speakers. each ora
tor posting himself on the same spot
before beginning his harangue.
These deliberations and discussions
occupied nearly the entire forenoon,
when suddenly the meeting broke up
and all the storks pounced upon the
unfortunate female and her supposi-
titious young one. killed them both
and, after destroying the polluted nest,
took wing and departed and were
never seen there again.

then allow myself to seem to be u
tenderfoot. So / rolled in and was
soon in Shut-eye-town, and was not
disturbed until next morning about s
o'clock, when I arose and went down to
breakfast About 3 O'Clock in the af-
ternoon the road was opened up, and /
started for Hobart, y miles west of
Chickasha, and arrived there about 6
o'clock, being twenty-five hours behind
time.
Since arriving here, 1 have taken
several little trips, but my letter has al
ready grown too long to describe any Of
them now. may do so in . future let
ter.
Hobart is pretty little city, the
county seat of Kiowa county, and is on
the Mangum branch of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railroad. The
Frisco" has its grade made through
the town and expects to have trains
running by July Is. This will give us
q direct road to st. Louis.
The first house was begun in Hobart,
the sixth of last August, and now there
are several fine residences and many
cozy cottages. 1t is nicely located and
bids fair to be one Of the thriving cities
of the southwest. 1t is surrounded by
fine farming and pasture lands and
manufacturing industries are being es-
tablished. The city is soon to be light
ed by electric lights and several
churches of modern design are being
built. A good school system is being
organized throughout the county, and
good buildings are in process of construc-
tion. A public literary is open to all,
and Mrs. Hobart, wife of the late Vice
President Hobart, in whose honor the
city was named, ia taking a great inter
est in the institution.
The weather the past week was very
bad So much rain fell that we have been
cut Of from the world for more than q
week, and it is hard to tell when this
letter will getawa from here or to Belle
fontaine. The Washita river is out of
its banks at Mountain View, 30 miles east
Of here, and several miles of track wash
ed out and it is impossible to get mail
in or out of the city. The last general
mail came in q week ago today. 1t was
Impossible to even telegraph from here,
and it is reported that in some cases
provisions are getting scarce.
However, believe that this is good
country for persons desiring farms or
wanting to engage in business or prac-
tice q profession. There are about
forty-6ve lawyers in the city, and
among the most promising is former
Logan county boy. now deputy county
attorney, Joseph Harry Cline. His
standing is near the top OF the mem
bers of the bar OF Kiowa county.
For my part, hope to stay here and
think the prospects are good for my do
ing 80. The climate seems to be very
healthful and everything points to q
good crop for the first year on the
many farms of the country.

of Government.
From London Truth.
An Englishman who says that he has
been for many years travelling abroad
unburdens himself to me on his disap-
pointment on returning to London and find
ing it, instead of the first city in the world,
far behind every other great capital in
matters pertaining to the comfort of it's
citizens. He is shocked to see scavenging
carts collecting refuse from houses at ali
hours of the day, and he wonders why
such work is not required to be performed
at an early hour in the morning. He does
not understand why coal CARTS heavy wag-
ons. and similar traffic are allowed to
crawl along main thoroughfares during
business hours, instead of being compelled
to proceed by side streets.
He is aghaSt, like everybody else, at the
incessant blocking of traffic by the OPEN
ing up of roadways, and asks why, when
it is unavoidable, all such work is not
prosecuted continuously. day and night, by
relays until it is completed He is aston
ished to find that he cannot obtain a post
age stamp in the largest of London railway
stations, so that he has to go outside in
search OF post office when he wants to
post letter in hurry. He is disgusted
at the condition of many of the post OF
hces, where there are no proper conyen-
fences for writing. He finds our milk ana
meat supplies-taking them all round-the
worst in any civilized town. and he gives
from personal experience a horrible ex-
ample of the facilities for sending diseased
meat to market. He might easily have
heightened the list. We all know of these
things. and most of us are continually
groaning over one or other of them, but
the recital may help to remind the more
lethargic-minded how far we are as yet
from being truly progressive Community

The stamp Of perfected elegance which all

no art ingenuity in getting beyond the sim
pier twisted effects in thread work The
product of native Indians, of Syrians. of
South Americans. and even Of the Mexi-

meshes similar to those seen in vealings and
with "star" ground are the sole re-
source OF these workers. to whom even the
open buttonhole stitch as an embelldshment
Is unknown. Though often most complex in

to initiate with the needle the raised and

ing the buttonhole stitch became known
among them. however. the experimenters

those countries. and later Of France and
England. were untiring In testing the possi-
biaittes. Soon this stitch became the ba ais

Tientsin should Re Restored.

From the snanghal Mercury.
The allied nations. says the ''Sin Wan
Pao. ought now to restore Tientsin to it's
rightful owners. They came in order to
restore order. Now that order is restored.
why do they tarry? They insisted that
We must pay heavy indemnities. We paid
them, or promised to pay them. why do
they then still keep their claws on our ter
ritory? The expenses Of their soldiers are
all included In the indemnities. We now
have man in Yuan Shikkai who is able
to cope with any possible recrudescence
of trouble. The allies need not pretend
they are holding on for fear Of fresh
trouble. There is then really no excuse
for them. If they are really sincere in their
protestations that they came in the first
instance solely for our good. The troubles
have now ceased for whole year. They
cannot honestly say they retain Tientsin
for the purpose of restoring order. We
have actually given our bonds for the pay
ment of the indemnities. Is not that the
same as IL we had paid them In hard cash?
Why do they not clear out?
