STEP IN ANY, WHERE.
There Is Always Room for the Boy
or Girl Who Is Willing to Take
Part in Lies Work.

During one of the great battles of
the civil war, recruit who had lost his
company in the tumult of strife, APP
preached Gen. Sheridan and timidly
asked where he would "step in"
Step in" Numbered Sheridan, in a
voice that frightened the already ter
ritied recruit almost as much as the
roar of cannonading and musketry.
Step in anywhere; there's fighting all
along the line"
An accident occurred recently that
very forcibly brought Sheridan's
words to mind A heavy piece of ma
chinery was being moved into build
ing by means of a block and tackle.
Suddenly one of the ropes parted and
the machine began to slide backward
The two men who had charge of the
work sprang to stay its progress, but
it was more than they were capable
of doing.
"Give us lift" one of them shouted,
to a bystander.
where shall take hold? 2" asked the
man thus addressed, unmindful of the
fact that both men were eXerting every
muscle to control the machine and that
there was not second to lose.
Grab hold anywhere!" yelled the
mover.
But another had already seen the
necessity for instant action, and rem
dered the necessary assistance.
1t may be that we are in a field where

timidly asking where we shall "step

words of Sheridan: "Step in any
where; there's fighting all along the

QUAIL IN NORTHERN WINTERS
The Birds Have Demonstrated Their
Ability to Withstand the Sc
verify of the Season.

Reports from Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota show that the quail
in the southern parts of those states
wintered we'll; in the northern parts
there are no quail winter or summer,
says the New York Sun
The hardness of the birds has
| proved surprise, as in western Wis
consin and eastern Minnesota the
| snowfall was the heaviest in years. In
January it was the belief that the
quail would be almost eXterminated.
In that month came the kind of
snow that is the most deadly to
ground-bird life-soft and continuous
until depth of nearly a foot on the
level was reached, then a slight rise in
rain, which wet the snow thoroughly,
then fall and hard freeze, convert
ing the snow surface into solid ice,
roofing over the particles beneath.
| When a storm of this kind comes the
birds take shelter under bushes. but
the snow finds them and covers them
When the freeze follows their only re-
course is to tunnel their way to the
upper air and the quail is often not
strong enough to make way through
the frozen crust with its beak.
An imprisoned flock takes turns in
hammering at the crust, but even if
they gain their liberty, coming out one
by one through a hole just large
enough to permit of egress. they find
their feeding places almost impene-
trably covered and have strong
chance of starvation.
Now and then a kind hearted farmer
throws out wheat or chicken feed
near his barn, but generally the
bevies are left to look out for them
selves and whether they live or die de-
ponds entirely upon the length of time
the frozen crust lasts. Quail are ex-
ceedingly daring and ingenious in find
ing food under such circumstances.
Some bevies come up to the farm
yards and associate amicably with the
chickens, sometimes even going into
the henhouse to roost. The huge
Brahmas and Cochins regard the in
vasion with dislike, but cannot catch
the nimble little marauders who get
much more than their share of the
food until their small crops are filed
Other bevies stay along the edges
of streams. Here the snow upon one
or the other bank is apt to be lighter
and to drift and leave the ground bare,
and it must be singularly barren
ground from which a snow-harassed
quail cannot manage to extract some
nutriment.
Others feed upon the still-clinging
seeds of weeds which project above
the crust and others try their already
sore bills along the crevices of old logs
and trees, looking for worms which
have gone as far in from the cold as
they can get.
The state of Wisconsin has been at
much trouble and expense as to its
quail. Some years ago there were not
dozen quail to a county; they had
been shot, Melted and trapped almost
to extinction.
Some thousands of pairs were i'm
ported from Oklahoma, territory
which does not now permit the ex-
portation of quail, and they were
turned loose in a cold and strange
country to die or multiply as they saw
fit.

ARCHERY FOR GIRLS.
As n Sport 1t Is Interesting and
Lively and ns n Recreation 1t
Has Few Equals.

As you girls are looking for outdoor
recreations, why not try archery?
Whoever of you becomes the proud
owner of a bow and arrows will find
them great addition to your sum-
mer's enjoyment. A good bow is rather
expensive, but that expense is neces-
sary, as it is impossible to shoot accu-
rately with any other kind.
Archery looks so easy that often the
beginner is surprised to find how much
strength is required to draw up the ar
row to its head. The bows used by
men require as much strength as would
be needed to lift weight of from 40
to so pounds. A suitable bow for a
girl would be much smaller, of course,
the range being from 20 to 80 pounds.
The length of the arrows used depends
somewhat on the length of your arm,
but generally speaking a bow 51A feet
long will call for a 25-inch arrow.
1t is important to have good instruc-
ton when you are learning to shoot,
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1902-07-24

since in archery, as in many other
things, it is easier to form good habits
than to break off bad ones. 1t is said
that there are IS points to keep in mind
from the time you take an arrow from
the culver until you let it fly. If you
have a friend who is skillful in the
use of the bow and arrow, it will be
well to take some lessons from her on
the proper position to assume, the
right way of hooking" drawing and
losing" as well as other mysteries
which will cease to be mysterious
after few days.
If you have no one to instruct you,
the next best thing is to buy book in
which the proper positions are illus
trated by diagrams and pictures. If
several other girls are interested in this
recreation, and you buy the book in
company, the expense to each will be
small.-Girls' Companion.

The Travelling Man Who Did Not Have

to the Detroit Free Press, but it's all

the drummer, assuring her at the
same time that [ would never, never

that she could never, never be the

No effort was made to take care of
them. but law was passed forbidding
the shooting of quail under heavy
penalty for five years.
At the expiration of that period
they had increased marvelously.
Then the farmer element in the legis-
lature extended the period by three
years more, which has two years to
run.
If the quail are not exterminated by
some savage winter there will be rare
sport in Wisconsin in 1904, unless the
grangers again intervene. The farmer
wants the quail let alone, because in
his opinion it is a slaughterer of pota-
to bugs. 1t does eat potato bugs, but
one middling. well-organized hen will
eat as many bugs as a bevy of quails,
and turkey will eat more.

pieces of straw of even length (about
three inches), as shown in illustra-

two pieces of straw of one inch length

Place the walnut with its pointed
end on the cork of a bottle, whereby
the whole system will be balanced.
Pour thin stream of water in the wal

Looked about in vain.

SCENE Is SHIFTED
STRIKE NEGOTIATIONS NOW ON
IN WASHINGTON.
INDEPENDENTS WORRIED
Confer With Railroad Presidents
About Freight Rates Should Wage
Increase be Decided Upon-Mtch-
ell and MacVeagh Meet at National
Capital.

Scranton, Nov. 25.-The scenes of
have suddenly shifted to WASHINGTON
and New York. Today the committee
of independent operators expects to
hold a conference with the presidents
Of the coal carrying roads regarding
the position of the individual compa-
MES, and at the same time a meeting
between Wayne MacVeagh and posi-
bly, other attorneys Of the coal roads
and President Mitchell and attorneys
will be held in Washington. The New
York conference has been known for
p hours. the Washington meeting
being decided upon yesterday after
noon. The Independents have gone to
New York to find out what the large
companies can do tor them in the way
of freight rates IN case an increase in
wages is decided upon. The miners
representatives went to WASHINGTON
to find out what the companies had to
offer. Both ardently wish for success,
but it was not within their power to
say what will be the outcome
Although the miners representa-
tives did not know why they were
summoned to Washington they believe
the companies have something to Of
fer Before leaving Mitchell had a
conference with his district presi-
dents The nature Of it could not be
learned.
The outlook for a settlement re-
mains hopeful, in fact more hopeful
than ever. Conversations with the at
torneys, coal operators and miners
show that all are wearying of the
strife and willing to waive a point
here and there III order to end the I'M
certainty of the situation and restore
peace and harmony to the community
and the coal trade generally.
There is some talk here of having
congress enact a law making a perma-
nent board Of arbitration of the coal
strike commission, but nothing def
mite il this line has yet been done.
