A crowd had gathered at a small ur
chins cry Of fight" and just as Stur-
dy was preparing quietly to depart
a policeman stepped up and marched
both victor and victim off to the sta
tion-house.
No one had heard a woman's scream
from behind the closed blinds of the
little house opposite, but Mary had
seen both the personal" and her
avenger. A strange, new light burned
in her eyes as she paced the floor, long
ing for morning.
Early the next day, Mr.. Stevens, the
foreman of the composing-room, was
wanted at the telephone.
A puzzled expression spread over his
face as he heard his absent typeset-
ter's embarrassed request that he come
down to the district police station. A
cab was soon speedily covering the
distance, and the newspaper man was
quarters. Yes;. the prisoner had VIC
lently assaulted a man, without prov
ocation. Of course, If he was friend
of Mr.. Stevens it would be all right;
in fact, he could 60 right along with
him now.
The culprit was summoned and
blinked sheepishly out of two very
black eyes at his chief, who was laugh
ing heartily.
What has come over my steady
right-hand man, I wonder?" But
Sturdy was being piloted out to the
cab and had no time to explain.
At the entrance they almost col
lided with a young girl, looking very
much embarrassed. Sturdy stopped,
looked helpIessly first at Mary, then
at his rescuer, who felt there was
something very important happening.
"Mr. Stevens" said sweet even voice,
Sturdy and are going to be married
very soon, and seeing that he has been
with you for SO long, and so fond of
| you, knew you would like to know"
So Mary and her sadly damaged pa
tient were driven home In the cab,
and Mr.. Stevens chuckling audibly,
Jumped on a car. He made straight
for the Office Of the proprietor, where
his counsel was much valued, emery
ing a few minutes later with letter
in his hand which read:
Mr.. Sturdy McQuinn:
Dear Strive take pleasure in send,
ing you the enclosed check for $500
in acknowledgment of your Is years OF
faithful service on our paper.
We trust you will soon recover from
your slight Illness, and report for work
as usual, with an advance of IS a week
in salary. We remain, very truly
yours.

Beaconsfield's Brooches.

We may conclude from an anecdOte
in Sir Edward Hertslet's "Recollec-
tons of the Old Foreign Office" that
it is a wise valet that knows all his
masters clothes by sight.
Lord Beaconsfeld was one OF the
Elder Brethren Of the Trinity House.
and as such owned a special official
uniform. One day he was about to at
tend levee at st. James Palace, and
his valet laid out his clothes for the
occasion.
Having implicit confidence in his
valet, BeaconsfieId dressed and went
to the levee. On appearing before the
prince-now Edward VII.-the diplo-
matist and minister made his bow and,
to his surprise, was greeted with an
amused smile.
ut won't do" his royal highness joe
ularly remarked. You're found out. -
"In what, sir?" demanded Beacons-
| field.
"Oh," said the prince, still smiling,
you've got the wrong trousers on!'
And, to his horror, on looking down,
Beaconsield found that he had got his
diplomatic uniform coat on with his
Trinity House trousers-a sartorial sim

URGED TO GROW NATIVE SILK.

State Biologist of North Carolina Dis
tributing Mulberry Trees.
There is a new chapter in the awak-
ening movement for growing native
American silk in the South, begun by
Gerald Mccarthy, biologist of the
North Carolina Department of Agri-
culture, at Raleigh, N. G. The State
trees to farmers who will experiment
in raising silk. All over the State Of
North Carolina Mr.. Mccarthy is scat
tering this circular:
1.-THE first seasons experience in silk
growing i'll North Carolina has proved
most gratifying success. 1t has dem
onstrated that the women and chill
dren Of the State may, by light and
interesting work during six weeks of
early summer, earn without interfer-
ing seriously with their ordinary du-
ties, at least $50. Those who can de-
vote more time to the work may earn
much more.
ITO place silk growing upon permn-
nent basis we must increase the out
put Of silk cocoons to volume which
will attract to the silk reelers and
weavers, thus creating a home market
for the product of the silkworm. The
! first and most necessary step is to i'll
crease the available supply of silk
worm food. We must plant mulberry
trees until each farm suited for this
kind of work has at least 100 trees
Every farm having dry soil, lying be
tween Goldsborougn and StatesVille OF
Asheville. can successfully grow silk
! I'm order to encourage the planting
of the mulberry the State Department
of Agriculture will distribute among
the farmers of North Carolina in lots
of fifty and one hundred rooted seed
ling trees of the varieties best suited
for feeding the silkwOrm. Not more
than 100 will be sent to one person.
silk growing will prove valuable a
nature study and remunerative ar
! in schools and is we'll worth the at
tention of all who have supervision
over educational institutions. 1t is alst
we'll adapted for charitable institu
tons. Public institutions which wisl
to experiment with silk growing will
be supplied with trees"
North Carolina is only one Of tn
possible States for the growing of silk
this scientist says, according to tn
New York Times. He expects a wild
range for it's production before man
years, far beyond the confines Of tn
Southern belt.

to another place, keeping up the sport

hunks refused to answer to the call.

But 1t was in Spain. before the out
break Of hostilities between tnau coum-
try and the United States, that Minis
ter Bowen gained the especial expert
ence which will stand him in good
stead in the Venezuela imbroglio. He
first went to that country In 1880. be-
ing appointed consul at Barcelona by
President Harrison. In 1895 President
Cleveland made him consul general.
Barcelona was the scene of manifes-
tations Of hostility toward the United
States In March, 1895. The feeling
was aroused by the passage by the
Senate Of the Morgan resolution, which
recognized the Cuban insurgents. A
mob Of several thousand persons gath
cred In front Of the United States con-
gulate in Barcelona, and with shouts
and excavations demanded the destruc-
ton Of the building and the death of
! the occupants. Consul General Bow
en- appeared at the entrance and defled
the mob, which dispersed in a short
time without harming anyone, and do
ing little damage to the edifice. Mr..
Bowen was the last representative of
the United States to leave Spain at the
time Of the actual outbreak of hostili,
ties. After the close Of the Spanish
American war he was preparing to re-
turn TO his post at Barcelona when
made Minister to Persia.
Minister Bowen was born in Brook
Ign in 1856 and is distinguished as a
literary man Of excellence and a poet
Of considerable power. He is six fee
and three inches in height, Of athletic
build and great personal prowess. He
speaks French, Spanish, German an6
Italian fluently and is thus vel
equipped for his present post.

CHIPMUNK HUNTING.
A Sport that IL Very Attractive to
the Indian Lads.

A Sport that 10 Very Attractive to
the Indian Lads.
It was a part of the Indian boys
hunting to find new and strange things
in the woods. They examined the
slightest sign Of life; and If g bird
had scratched the leaves off the ground
or a bear dragged up a root for his
morning meal, they stopped to specu-
late on the time when it was done.
In Indian Boyhood" DR.. Charles A.
Eastman, himself an Indian, tells Of
the way in which he and his COM
panions caught the animals Of the
wood.
Our devices for trapping small ami
mails, he says, were rude, but they
were often successful. For instance,
we used to gather up peck or SO of
large, sharp-pointed burs and scatter
them in the rabbits burrow-like path.
In the morning we would find the lit
tie fellow sitting quietly in his tracks.
unable to move, for the burS stuck to
his feet.
Perhaps the most enjoyable Of all
was the chipmunk-hunt. After the
first thaw the chipmunks burrow a
hole through the snowy crust and
make their first appearance for the
season. Sometimes as many as fifty
will come together and hold a social
reunion. These gatherings occur ear
ly in the morning, from daybreak to
about 8 o'clock.
We boys learned this, among other
secrets of nature, and got our blunt
headed arrows together in good season
| for the chipmunk expedition.
We generally went in groups of six
to dozen or fifteen, to see which
would get the most. On the preceding
evening we selected several boys who
could initiate the chipmunk's call with
wildcat straws, and each of these pro-
vided himself with supply of straws.
My first experience Of this kind l
still remember well. 1t was a fine,
crisp March morning, and the sun had
not vet shown himself as we hurried
along through the ghOstly wood. Pres
emily we arrived at place where
there were many signs of the animals.
Then each of US selected a tree, and
took up his position behind 1t. The
chipmunk- caller sat upon log, as mo-
tionless as possible, and began to call
Soon we heard the rustic of little
feet on the hard snow; then we saw
the chipmunks approaching from all
directions.
In a few minutes the chipmunk
caller was besieged with them. Some
ran all over his person, others under
him, and still others ran up the tree
against which he was sitting. Each
boy remained immovable until the
leader gave the signal; then a great
shout arose, and the chipmunks IL
their fright all ran up the differen
trees.
Now the shooting-match began. TIT
little creatures seemed to realize thei
hopeless position; they would tr!
again and again to come down tn,
trees and escape from the deadly ar
rows. Whenever several of them rush

MournerR in Red.

In the dark, and part of the middle
ages, red and not black was the favor
lite mourning color throughout Europe.
Even down to the end of the fifteenth
century the change from blood red to
black was not complete, though black
cloaks were worn over red clothing.
In Abyssinia the mourning color is a
reddish brown. In Turkey it is vio-
let, a color closely allied to red. 1t is
curious fact that among the Maoris
of New Zealand red. Is the hue of sor-
row. In earlier times mourners daub-
ed their bodies with red juices when
they followed chief to his grave, and
even the resting-places of the bodies
were also cOlored red.

Putting I'm a BOYS Lunch.

A recent writer-and she writes as
one whom any boy would love-tells
how she saw mother put up lunch
for her boy to take to school, and then
she tells very prettily how daintily she
would have put up that lunch, and |
know she would do just as she said.
But she didn't go far enough. Now, If
were going to put up lunch for a
boy Is years old, wouldn't take lit
tie tin pail nor yet neat little covered
basket; l would just take the market
basket, If the family wasn't going to
use it that day, and l would cut up a
loaf Of bread, and trim off every bit of
crust to keep the boy from lying about
it, and telling me that he ate it and
didn't fire it over the fence when he
came home. l would cut that loaf into
slices and spread on the butter until
it began to fall off, then would stack
on the sugar as long as 1t would hold
Then I would load In a couple of links
! of sausage and some slabs Of ham, a
dainty cluster of hard-boiled eggs-say
half dozen-all the cake there was In
the house, and fill up the rest of the
space with pie, and then stuff two of
his pockets full Of apples to eat during
school hours, and fill the rest of his
pockets with nuts, and give him {
cents to buy ''taffy." Then II that boy
came home at o'clock and said he
didn't have enough luncheon and
couldn't he have piece, would give
him the keys to the cellar, cupboard
pantry, cake chest, and fruit closet
and, yielding to dark despair, go out
to the barn and hang myself. We
were a boy myself. once.-Burdette.

FOOTBALL NOTES:

Little Johnson. the captain of the
Carlisle Indian football team, proved
by the great game he played Friday
against the all-California eleven his
title of sll-American quarter back. He
scored the first touchdown and played
the best game ever seen out on the
coast After the game was over the
people took him around on their Shout
ders.
In selecting his all-America football
team and substitutes, Casper Whitney
has left Jim Hogan out. All the selec-
tons to date have Hogan on the team.
Rut t. be original Mr.. Whitney left
him out.
The Roarers won the Marks League
on their merits, even if they did win
the game by trick. Mr.. Mcneil, the
coach tor the High School team, said
they lest the game by failing to fol-
low the interference and poor team
work. 1t is not known yet whether the
league will be formed again next year
or not.
Capt. Lyman of Cornell says he ex-
poets to have a good team next year.
The reason Cornell was defeated so
badly by Pennsylvania he says is due
to lack Of condition and overconfi-
dence. All of the present team will
be back next year
