Zone Of the most remarkable cases
in my experience said country doc
tor, was an old woman in a fisher
mans hut on the Carolina shore. 1t
was a long, dreary drive Of ten miles,
and when I reached the place I found
that the only occupant besides the sick
woman was skit Of girl, who was
utterly worn out by weeks of care and
nursing. I examined the patient and
found every sign Of early dissolution.
Her pulse was growing feebler, and 1t
was only a question Of few hours, In
my mind, before the end would come.
The idea of the girl being left alone in
that hut touched me, and decided to
remain with her, even though the un-
expected happened and the old lady
lived through the night. The men Of
the hut were fishermen, and they
would probably be back the next day.
So I sat with the girl in the corner Of

ground, and you may toss me some
nuts. and I will store them away In
the little hole in the ground in which
I'm going to sleep this winter. If you
do that, / will let you sleep little
while"
The sparrow agreed to this, and the
squirrel hurried down the tree trunk.
Now, it happened that the sparrow
had nest in the top of the tree, and
there were two little eggs In the nest.
Instead of getting a nice nut to drop
down to the squirrel Mr.. Sparrow pick
ed out the biggest egg in the nest.
Throw them straight" cried the
squirrel. "I'm going to catch them in
my teethw And he opened his mouth
as wide as he. could.
Then the sparrow dropped the egg.
Oh, my! Oh, me!
It struck right square In the squ1r-
rel's mouth, and the shell was crushed
into thousand pieces. The white Of
the egg and the yolk Of the egg splash
ed all over the squirrel from head to
heel, and the worst of 1t was that his
eyes were filed with the egg and he
could no more see than blind man.
Then the squirrel ran away into the
grass, and the sparrow laughed and
said, THAT serves you right for treat
ing me bad" Then he closed his lit
tie eyes and took a nice long sleep

war he was given volunteer rank OF
colored volunteers In a few years he
will be promoted to be a colonel and
then he will be entitled to command
regiment. There Is no way the de-
partment could arrange matters so that
Colonel Young would not be in charge
Of white officers, provided he Is con-
tinued as a field officer. This Is the
situation that Is dreaded by war de-
partment officials, for it Is believed
that there will be trouble from having
a colored man in command over white
graduates from West Point.
In 1874 a colored youth, Henry E.
Baker, was appointed to the naval
academy from South Carolina. At the
semi annual examination he was re-
ported deficient, but was given
chance to make up. At the annual ex-
animation he was again deficient and
was turned back to the lower class. In
November, 1875, Baker was dismissed
for applying an epithet to classmate.
Another colored youth, Alonzo c. Nc
Clennan, was appointed to the naval
academy in 1873, also from South Car
olina. The next year he was reported
deficient In all branches Of study and
was allowed to resign. In 1872 James
f. Conyers, colored, was appointed as
a cadet at the same institution from
South Carolina. At the examination
at the end Of the first year he was de-
clared to be failure with mo apti-
tude or promise" but was given an
other chance to make good. He failed
to improve this opportunity and at the
end Of that year was dropped. These
youngsters led very unhappy life at
Annapolis, for the white boys there
have their own way of settling the race
question.
Whether the developments Of late
years in connection with the suppress
sion Of hazing will secure better treat
ment for future colored appointees re-
mains to be seen. It Is also matter
Of conjecture whether the. cadets will
class native Porto Ricans and Hawaii
ans with Negroes. Instances are nu-
merous where boys have been received
at the academy to receive instructions
as a matter Of compliment to their re-
spective governments. One or more
Japs are usually at Annapolis under
this condition. Usually these boys
have gotten along all right with their
white companions and instances are
recorded of very strong friendships
springlng up between the American
and foreign youths.

LOOTED BoER BIBLES.
Lord Roberts's Appeal to Their Pos
SCISSORS to Return the Volumes.

SCISSORS to Return the Volumes.
1t is notified from the war office,
says the London Chronicle, that large
number Of Boer Bibles disappeared
from the Boer farms, and Lord Roberts
asks any soldiers in possession of these
Bibles to return them, "as such kind
ly act would be much appreciated by
our new fellow subjects"
Since the beginning of the South
African war the Society Of Friends,
whose central offices are at II Bishops
gate Without, has had a committee
watching for opportunities Of giving
relief to sufferers in South Africa. ir-
respective of race or nationality. Last
autumn w. H. F. Alexander and l..
Richardson went to South Africa, and
reported in January, among other
things that they had discovered a num-
ber Of Boer family Bibles, with records
Of births, ETC., had been looted and TAX
en- to England.
The society corresponds with minis
ters and magistrates in South Africa,
which Of course, Is slow process. and
as the owner Cor his representative
Of each Bible Is traced 1t is sent back.
Some of the Bibles are greatly priced
by the Beers, as they contain the whole
family pedigree. They are printed In
old Dutch, not the Taal, and many are
very fine specimens indeed.
So far information has been received
of some twenty Bibles which are
wanted. One is in the care Of the
Bishop Of Ripon, which belonged to
Gen. Prinsloo. The Bishop Of Ripon
has expressed his willingness to re-
turn it. Another fine Bible, belonging
to an Outlander family, was heard Of
in the west Of England. This was prob
ably taken from johannesburg, and a
third Is that of a Dutch commandant
named Haasboek, who was killed in
the war.
Mr.. Alexander has two Bibles by
him. One is a magnificent volume, a
large folio, dated 1860, 1S inches by IL
DSlou6h6 " q loNihS iiehAiSo
Van der Nerve, and returned by Capt.
Werneford, 44th Georkhas, who found
1t near Ermelo. This contains a pedi-
gree, the first part Of which Is in IL
Illuminated characters. In all probabili-
ty it belonged to one Of the old Voor-
trekkers, who established the Orange
River colony and Transvaal. The 9TH
er Is not so old and apparently belongs
to a family named Grant.
Only yesterday an officer living at
Newcastle on-Tyne wrote to say he
was returning a Bible he bought from
one Of his men, which belonged, he
believed. to one Martinus Els, Of Sloot
Kraal, Heilfron, Orange River colony.
The frontispiece of this had been torn
away, the Bible having been found
near a deserted farm house which had
been partially destroyed.
The only volume yet sent back Is a
Psalm book given by father, when
on his deathbed, to his son, and this
has been sent to the widowed mother.
1t Is hoped that, as the movement for
returning the Bibles gets better known,
more progress will be made and that
the sympathy it expressed will be ap-
preciated by the Beers.

"Tll do anything for you If you will
only let me sleep for an hour or two,
