odd Dad" and then rushes into the
fight the big bay horse, topped by the
big, fierce man. with his black beard,
and all is over but the shouting.
Enlisted men returned from service
in the islands tell all sorts of little
stories of Gen. Wheaton. For instance,
there was the night after the landing
at San Fabian. Six gunboats, says the
Chicago Tribune, had gone down the
coast to cover the landing of lot Of
men under Gen. Wheaton, who were
loaded on couple Of army transports.
While the gunb6ats shelled the town
Wheaton got his men into launches
and other small boats and waited for
the first chance to get ashore. Once or
twice his eagerness led him to push
ahead within range of the gunboats'
fire, and each time he had to face about
and retire, much to the amusement of
the men, bobbing about on the swell in
their little boats. Finally the party
landed, under hot fire from the insur.
gents, and rushed the town. After
pickets had been thrown out and all
arrangements made for guarding
against night attack, Gen. Wheaton
started to turn in, with the idea of
catching a few hours sleep. He and
his orderly went into native house
on the square and opened the door
leading into the corner room. As they
did so couple of privates, who had
already lain down to sleep on the floor,
rose speedily, came to attention, sa-
luted and started to leave the room.
"Here you'll" roared "Old Dad" in his
terrifying voice, "you boys need sleep
Just rs much MS do. Lie down again
and 60 to sleep"
So the commanding general and n
couple Of privates went to sleep side
by side on the floor. But early in the
morning, before any one else was
awake, Gen. Wheaton got up and went
out all alone on accommodating tour.
He closed the door, and 1t locked be-
hind him with spring lock. Several
times during the night stragglers had
come pounding on the door, and had
been ordered away by the somewhat
sulphuric orderly. 1t happened that
the orderly had just got into sound
sleep when the general returned and
knocked for admission. The orderly,
who had no idea that Gen. Wheaton had
gone out. woke up hot and angry.
With all the resources Of his pic.
turesque vocabulary he cursed the
man who had disturbed him and or.
dered him to go away under awful pen
alties. "Now, you clear out of here
and let us sleep, or I'll come out and
kick your head OIL" he roared.
"All right, sergeant" sounded the
deep voice Of "Old Dad" ""all right, III

Dry-Plcking for Market.

When dry-picking turkeys or other
poultry for market be careful to re-
move the pin-feathers. The carcasses
are "plumped" by throwing them into
ice-cold water, allowing them to re-
main in the water four or five hours
or longer, then hanging them up, heads
down, to drip and dry, keeping them in
n cool place. Do not scald dry-picked
birds. While the dry-picking method
gives the birds the best appearance for
market, for home use the best and
easiest mode is to quickly scald them,
then remove the feathers, and also the
entrails. If pumped" it should be
done before drawing the entrails. The
scalding process cleans the skin and

An Instance of German Military

An instance OF military thrift and of

Soor and had accomplished altogether
a nine days march. This was not the

were still eating scouts came in with
the news that the Austrians were near
at hand. l 1'..'

Immense plans which seemed about

London Answers tells the story Of a
tn mine In England which might have
yielded fortune but for storm.
With the finding of, a new vein Of ore
running out toward the sea new level
was driven out below the water; then
II was found that the lode bent up
ward too near the sea bottom for min.
ing to be safely carried on. Undiscour-
aged, the owner borrowed money, built
a sea wall to cut off the water, erected
pumps and again went to work.
On the sixth day just as an enor.
nous mass Of rich ore was being tap
ped a gale came up, ship was blown
upon the wall, which went to pieces at
once, and the sea drove the heavy
stones In upon the thin roof of the
mine. In moment the workings were
hopelessly flooded, and the owner was
a ruined man.
A story equally tragic is told of the
Speedwell lead mine In Derbyshire.
Believing that a rich vein of ore exist
ed In a nearby hill, the owner risked
his entire capital to bore tunnel 1900
feet long into the heart Of the noun

through a wall of rock into a vast hid

stream of water.
They began to dump rock into the
stream, and after 10000 tons a bridge
began to rise out Of the darkness, and
then their farther progress was stop
ped. Month after month they toiled,
and at last, after 10000 tons in all
had been cast into the cavern, they
gave IT up.

day as the Bottomless Pit.
