KANSAS CITY, Dec. George H. Ross
of Chicago, for several years traffic mana
ger Of the Indiana, Illinois & Iowa railway,
has succeeded Theodore C. Bates of Boston
as president of the Union Depot, Bridge &
Terminal Railway company. Mr.. Bates

interests might be in the hands Of a prac-
tical railroad man. A dispatch from Bos-
ton, however, positively asserts that Mr..
Bates sold his interests, and the Winner
bridge piers in the Missouri river, and the
valuable river land and terminals owned
by 1t, have been purchased by Swift and
Company, who contemplate building an in
dependent stock yards and a new plant.
Another rumor is to the effect that the

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1902-11-12

In his great narrative poem, "Enoch
Arden" Tennyson describes the ship
wrecked mariner on his lonely isle sit
ting so still in his long wait for sail
that the golden lizard on him paused"
| have often wondered how Telnyson
got that idea and whether he was iusti-
fed in it. Do lizards ever run up onto
human beings and wait there for their
insect prey? Emily Bront represents
the sinister hero of "Wuthering
Heights" as standing still so long in
his agony, and coming to look so IN
like human being that building
thrush, If l remember rightly, is seen
to perch upon him. But a lizard seems
even less likely in this connection tha(k
bird. However, as We sat lunching
on sunny bank the other day nv
companion suddenly gave a little
scream and cried "Oh, what curious
thing is on your arm?" 1 looked down.
and there was a common lizard. with
its head oddly twisted on one side.
The movement disturbed my little vis.
itor, which darted over my shoulder
and in an instant or two had disap-
peared In the tangle of the white
throated haunted hedgerow, but not
before l had seen and admired its
bright eye and its greeny coat.-Lon.

Walked With a Ttgress.

1t is related of Sir Edward Bradford
the Chief of Police Commissioner of
London, that he once walked arm in
arm, so to speak. with a tigress He
was out shooting, and always fear.
less sportsman had come to close quar-
ters with his quarry. He fired, and
either the ball failed to take effect or
but slightly wounded the animal. She
sprang at him and seized his left arm
above the elbow. The pain must have
been terrible, but Sir Edward kept cool,
and realizing that 1t would be death to
drag his mangled arm away and allow
her to spring afresh at him, he delib.
erately walked few agonizing PAGES
until his comrade was able to take aim
and kill the brute. Thus his courage
saved his life, though the amputation
Of his arm at the shoulder proved
necessary.

ant Gilmore has told in McClure's
Magazine of the behavior of Venville,
the eighteen-year-old apprentice, who
had never before been under fire.
Having no other weapon that re-
volver, useless at the range" wrote
the officer, II reached for the rifle
dropped by one of the dead. 1t had
been hit in the lock and the clip was
jammed in. Venville, one of the ap-
prentice boys, attempted to fix it. A
bullet went through the flesh of his
| neck.
Mr.. Gilmore. I'm hit he said But
he continued working at the rifle.
"a second shot plowed through the
boys breast and came out in his arm
pit.
I'm hit again, Mr.. Gilmore
HE was still trying to pull out the
jammed clip when ball cut furrow
in the left side Of his head.
Mr.. Gilmore, they've hit me againr
He wiped the blood from his brown
eyes with his coat sleeve and then re-
turned to his task as calmly as If it
were only a mosquito that had stung
him. 1t was not three minutes until
ball crashed into his ankle, inflicting
a painful hurt. There was just slight
quiver in the lads voice as he looked
up to me and said:
Mr.. Gilmore, I'm hit once more,
but I've fixed the gun, SIR"
One wishes this true tale might have
ended, as stories do with the heros
recovery and return. but when the
other survivors of Lieutenant Gill
more's party were taken into the inter-
rior, Venville, being unable to travel,
was left behind, and some time later
he was killed by the order of an insur-
gent general. Yet his eighteen years,
few though they were, had been spent
to some purpose. The monument
stands fair and stately symbol of the
boys life.

A Lesson From the Bees.

"Don't stir up beehive unless you
know it is a rich one" said an apiar-
list to n visitor at his bee farm.
81 think that 1 would leave them
alone altogether" was the reply.
"They have too angry buzz about
them to win my confidence"
you are not used to them, that's
ALL" said the beeman. For example,
these hives are full of honey, and if l
puff little smoke into the doors so as
to sort of suffocate the sentries, / can
topple a hive over, handle the bees
like so many beans, clean the honey
combs and carry them off. The bees
won't harm me-" And, to prove his
words, the speaker performed his eX-
pertinent, and came back to his friend
with a smile and several heavy combs
of honey.
"If those hives had been nearly
empty" said the apiarist, Il would
have been lucky to have escaped with
my life. The tenants of a poor hive
sting to kill"
That's strange" said the visitor. 90
should think that they would defend
their boards with especial jealousy
and the more they have the hotter
they would fight"
1.-The reason is" said the beeman
''that when alarmed the bees fly t,
their storehouse and gorge themselves
When full of honey a Dee can't benz
| its body and sting

A TALE OF FOOLISH PRIDE.

The day was most uncommon warm,
And Chanticleer and wife
Had had a small domestic storm
To mar their married life.
She held he had no gift of song,
And shook her little head,
But he maintained his voice was strong,
And he could sing, he said.
And so he stopped, his voice to try,
Upon the dusty road,
And she, with hypercritic eye,
Stood watching while he crowed.
And such a frightful noise he made
1t shook the earth and sky,
And woke hawk of sombre shade
Who'd been asleep near by.
The hawk who had been dozing, heard
The rooster proud and trim,
And pouncing on the foolish bird
He put an end to him.
MORAL.
