PRETTY STORY OF THE sToRK.
Why one Norwegian Town Admires
the Ungainly Bird.

In a certain town Of Norway the fig
ure Of a stork appears on the church
and over many of the houses. Tourists
who go there often find on sale on
every hand images of the stork in sill
yer and gilt, or carved in wood. The
story of the origin Of this sign of the
stork is unusual and most interesting.
The hero of the tale is Conrad Jonas
sen, whose name will be forever. asso-
ciated with the stork.
Many years ago, when Conrad was a
boy, a stork built it's nest on the roof
ofof the house. Conrad and his moth
or fed the bird and % encouraged it's
return.
In time the boy went to sea. One
day the ship fell into the hands Of
pirates, and Conrad, with his ship
mates, was sold into slavery in Africa.
Hardships and indignities of all
sorts were heaped upon them for three
years. One day Conrad saw storS
flying about overhead, and was filed
! with homesick longings. He whistled
to the bird as he used to do at home,
and to his delight the stork came near
and finally alighted as if expecting 10
be fed.
He had nothing to give the bird then
but the next day he saved a part OF his
breakfast, hoping that the stork would
come again. 1t did, and for several
days continued to come.
At length it occurred to the home
sick slave that the stork would soon
be flying north again, and like an ;r-
spiration came the thought chat by
means of the bird he might send a
message which might possibly fall in
to the hands Of his friends.
He wrote few lines on a bit OF
tough paper and bound it fast to the
stork's leg. A few days later the bird
disappeared.
One day Mrs. Jonassen noticed the
! stork, which had returned again to its
nest, on the roof, picking at something
on its leg. She fed the bird, caught it
and removed the bit of paper. Fancy
the mothers feelings when she found
it to be message from her own son,
long since given up for lost
1t would be too long story to tell
of the interest Of the parish, of the
money raised, the expedition sent to
rescue Conrad and his mates. All this
took place, however, and Conrad Jonas
sen came home. In after years he be.
came rich man, and did much for the
welfare Of his native town. The storH
was never forgotten, and it is small
wonder that it became the emblem of
the Norwegian town.-Youth's Com
panion.

TURTLE AS RACE HORSE.
Little Ones Enjoy Rides on Clumsy
Creatures Backs.

The latest amusement for childreA
in Germany is tortoise racing. which
Prof. Carl Hagenback, the renowne4
German zoologist, has caused to be i'm
mensely popular at the gardens In
Stellingen.
When Hagenback recently received
consignment of half dozen Of thess
clumsy creatures, weighing from l2e %
$50 pounds each, he let them roam a
large for short time in the grounds
surrounding his villa, and one OF hI1
grandchildren became imbued With tha
idea that it would be great fun to usa
one of them as horse.
When one of the giant tortoise WEE
experimental upon he seemed TO enter
into the fun as much as the children
and the consequence was that tie etgAa
big tortoises in the geological gardez
were brought out day after day. aud
soon became so practiced in their neW
lole that they would walk about with
the children as though they were MOTH
ing more than feathers on their thick
shells.
No whips or strings are used to guide
these awkward mounts, but each rider
is given a stout stick with a cabbagx
tied to it, which is always held a few
inches ahead of the tortoise. EyerY
| now and then the Juvenile rider allows
his steed to get a nibble of the tempt
ing morsel he is chasing around thu
yard, and thus keeps up his enthusz-
asm. Since Prof. Hagenbacks uniQux
idea has got abroad, children from an
over Germany have ridden his tor
| toises.
When real race is contemplateS.
the eight big fellaws are brought up In
line, juvenile jockey crawls upoa
the great shell, and at the given word
the cabbages are stuck out in front q
the tortoises. Tortoises are great ami
mails to sleep, but if anything on earth
will arouse them quickly it is the odnz
of cabbages. So in the majority Of
cases they are all off in pursuit of thu
morsel ahead of them at the same time
Once started, a good deal depends un
the Jockeys. The mount must be keps
in a straight line, he must have nib
BILE just SO often, but not enough e
make him lose enough time to give his
rivals an advantage. When properly
managed he SCOTS over the groun6
with his rider at good round ppace.-

An incident which occurred while
Admiral Dewey was commanding the
Asiatic station and one which illus
trates his independence is one known
as the coal incident
1t seems that his squadron was in
need of coal, but, instead of writing to
the chief of the Bureau of equipment
at the navy department, he purchased
a large amount of coal without con-
sulting the department.
The following is the correspondence
between the Admiral and Captain
Bradford, the chief of the bureau of
equipment, and is self-explanatory.
Navy Department, Washington, D. c..
To Dewey, Manila:
Why did you buy so much coal?
