The Inevitable Eyewitness"

The late John L. Crisp was a partic-
ipant in the battle of Westport. He
liked to describe the enga cement from
his point of view, and he never failed
to interest his auditors. A few years
ago, while seated at round table, in
a downtown cafe, he gave, according
to friend, free vent to his wonderful
imagination, in the presence of Rich
ard Gentry and others who were at
the scene of battle at the time it ragged
the fiercest.
The colonel told of the way his COM
pany had charged the enemy. of how
the federalists We're put to fight, and
of how he himself had been in the
forefront of the bloody battle.
Gentry. who was member of Crisp's
company, finally interrupted beauti-
full piece of word painting about the
horrors of war by saying: "Now, col
onel, you know you ran like - on
that day. l was running with you
and you kept ahead of me until we
were out of range of the Union guns.
Yes. sir. you ram sir: by CAD. sir, you
retreated, and l retreated withe you.'
Colonel Crisp, so the story goes.

Talented Dorothy Menpes.

Miss Dorothy Menpes youngest
daughter of Mortimer Menpes, the
well known artist, combines cleverness
with an energy that is surprising, for
though still il her teens, she has al
ready written five books, and has a
sixth in preparation. They are all de-
lightfully illustrated by her father,
who is collaborat ting with her on
book dealing with India. Father and
daughter were notable visitors to the
Delhi durbar, by the way. In addl-
ton to literature Miss Dorothy Menpes
goes in for enameling, and designs
rings, clasps and necklaces, which she
carries out herself by the aid of fur
mace. She is in appearance the very
antithesis of what we call strong
minded" being very pretty, with
masses Of fair hair, and possessing an
absolutely unaffec ed manner. From
birth her surroundings have been ar
tistic, and she has Travelled all over
the world. The camaraderie between
father and daughter is as delightful
as it is comparatively rare in these
days.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Arizona's sheep are no longer
clipped by hand. According to the
Baltimore Sun power machines have
almost entirely superseded the Old
time shearers At the main shearing
plant there are twenty machines run
by a gasoline engine and operated by
as many skilled shearers. day S
work for one of these men, with his
clippers run by gasoline, is to clip
from 100 to 125 sheep. In the hands
of an expert the work is done better
than with the hand shears, and the
sheep are left in better condition
than after a hurried sEearing in the
oid-fashiored way
The clippers are much like the or
binary horse clippers. and seem to
fairly peel off the fleece when run at
full speed Then there is an economy
about the machine clipping in the fact
that the wool is taken off evenly. max

all the growth, instead of leaving tufts
and patches on the sheep. So closely
may wool be clipped that sheep have

A Navy Funeral.

The funeral Of a sailor at sea is a
most impressive ceremony. Nine men
of the Massachusetts died as the re-
suit of a thirteen inch guns explosion.
They were buried at San Juan, Porto
Rico, but before the bodies were taken
ashore the funeral was held, as is the
custom, on the quarter deck of the
ship. Excepting on special occasions
like this officers alone are permitted
on this deck. In the presence of the
admiral and other officers, standing
with barred heads, and marines and
blue jackets, a detail from each ship
of the squadron, drawn up in line, the
caskets containing the men who died
were borne by men who had been
their comrades on to the quarter deck.
A band played a dirge, a quartet Of
sailors sang and the chaplain prayed
and spoke with solemn voice of the
bravery of those who had suffered a
death so cruel. The brawny men Of the
ships of war were standing silent, lis
tening their heads bowed, their sun
burned faces motionless. But never a
tear was shed, for tears and women
have no place aboard a man-of-war.
The bodies were taken ashore in the
captains gig after the service and rev.
erently buried.-Leslie's Weekly.

necessary for the editor to go by stage
from one town to the other.

AN UNKNOWN LAND.
Parts of the Old Roma Empire I'm
seen by Modern Eyes.

seen by Modern Eyes.
Few people appreciate the fact that
today, at the dawn Of the twentieth
century, there are stir parts of the old
Roman empire where no traveller of
modern times has been; that there are
ancient towns which no tourist has
seen, temples and towers that no lover
of classic literature has delighted in,
inscriptions in ancient Greek that nc
savant has as yet deciphered-w whole
regions, in fact, full of antiquities for
which no Baedeker has been written
and which are not shown upon ,he lat
est maps. There are regions within
our temperate zone where no modern
European foot has trod, SO far as we
are able to tell-regions where the civ
ilization of Greece and Rome once
f1ourished and where fine monuments
of classic art and of an unfamiliar art
that supplanted the classic waste their
beauties upon the ignorant sight of
half civilized nomads.
To realize the truth of this one needs
only TO cross the ranges Of mountains
that run parallel to the eastern coast of
the Mediterranean and, avoiding all
caravan routes, journey independently
about the barren country that lies be-
tween these mountains and the Eu
pirates. Here is territory which,
though not wholly unexplored, is full
of most wonderful surprises. Here are
cities and towns long deserted, not so
great or so imposing perhaps as Pal
myra, but far better preserved than
the city Of Zenobia and giving a much
truer picture of the life of the ancient
inhabitants than one can draw from
these famous ruins.
These towns are not buried, like the
great cities of the Mesopotamian plains,
nor have their sites been built upon in
modern times, as those of the classic
cities Of Greece have been. They stand
out against the sky upon high ridges or
lie sheltered in sequestered valleys, pre-
senting to the view of the traveller as
he approaches them very much the
same aspect as they did in the fourth
century of our era when inhabited by
prosperous, cultivated and happy peo-
pie or when deserted by those inhab
itants some 1900 years ago.-Howard
