The Baby Turtle.

Turtles, you know, lay their eggs
in the sand and let the sun hatch
them out. They do not lay them all
in one place, probably because they
think it safer to scatter them. Then,
even though one be stolen or broken,
the others may escape. The mother
turtle covers them all carefully up,
one after another, with thin sprink-
ling OF sand. and then apparently nev.
er gives them another thought, con-
sidering her maternal duty done. Ger
tain it is that she has never been dis
covered going near these egg babies
again, and when they hatch at last
the tiny, soft backed creatures at once
begin crawling around in search of
flies and other food as independently
as If there were no such thing as a
mother in the world. A little girl
who found one of these odd, oblong
turtle eggs on a sandy river bank in
louisiana took it home and put it in
a teacup on the table for safekeeping.
A few hours later a slight noise was
noticed in that direction, and on look
ing in the cup again she found baby
turtle, full fledged," but tiny, scramb.
ling about among the bits of it's brok-
en- eggshell cradle.

SPOKE Too Late.

Judge George Gray of Delaware,
who is building up a unique reputa-
ton as an arbitrator OF strikes, is a
graduate of Princeton, a member OF
the class of 80.
Talking one day in Wilmington,
Judge Gray said:
There used to be a Princeton jan
itor named Jerome McWade, who was
as witty and amusing chap as have
ever met Whenever You would strike
McWade, he would halt you, and for
three or four minutes you would nave
to listen to some odd yarn or other
that he would relate as Though Il had
been personal experience.

one morning. This lrishman sat by
the fire reading newspaper and suck
ing raw eggs that he took, one by
one. out of paper bag. He paid no
attention to anybody. He just read
and sucked as though he was alone
in his room at home.
"'All of a sudden it happened that
he got a very bad egg, and before he
knew what he was doing, he bolted a
little live chicken. The chick chirped
as it went down, and the Irishman

Birds That cteal.

Some birds are very fonc of build.
ing in and around churches. A ver5
funny story is told of some jackdaws
which built their nests in oae OF the
towers of Christ church. in Dublin. 4
man who was employed in the cathed
raj lived with his wife near by, and
the latter was at first perplexed, and
then seriously annoyed, at the manner
il which her clothes pegs systemati
cally disappeared. In vain she
watched, but could never discover the
culprit. One day an order came for
her to clear out one Of the towers OF
the cathedral, when she discovered
her missing pegs propping up the
rather large nests of the jackdaws. AT
first she was filed with wrath. but
this soon gave way to pleasant
thoughts, when Oh her second visit to
the tower she found a half sovereign
in one of the nests. Jackdaws are
well-known thieves, and often go tc
great pains in order to hide their stol
cn property.

The Late Yellow Hammer.

Recently the Journal gave an ac-
count Of the death of Yellow Hammer,
one OF the few remaining Modoc In
dians. who was killed by lightning
while riding in his wagon along a
street in Oswego. The following
unique biography, or obituary. OF Vel
low Hammer is given by the Baxter
Springs News:
yellow Hammer was good In
dian before ne died and was one of
the features Of the big Baxter reunion,
where he annually gathered the rem
nant OF his tribe and held the familiar
war dances Of his people in big Cog
liZer tent to tho admiration and enjoy
ment Of thousands of visitors.
yellow Hammer was of royal blood,
being u younger brother of Shack
Nasty Jim and first cousin to Princess
Mary. When. he was brought hero
from thc lava beds of Oregon, after
his tribe had been almost obliterated
in their war with the United States
Yellow Hammer soon became recon
ciled to civilization, tarew off his
blanket ana feathers, and took up the
white mans burden with store clothes,
a plug hat and white woman for a
wife. He joined the Quakers at first,
but said they were not quick enough
for him, and SO he went into farming
and horse trading, with an occasional
venture in the wild west show b,1si-
ness.
"The deceased married white
woman OF good family and was an af
fectionate father. kind and indul-
gent husband, fair Christian, good
medicine man and a moderate drink.
or. In appearance he resembled Pad
erewski, and like him was quite eff
cient on the Indian drum Or tom-tom.
He was always pleasant, affabie,
cheerful, and great favorite with the
children; he was remarkable for his
industry and indefatigable energy, al
| ways willing to work, and never bor-
rowing Or asking dollar in charity.
He set an example many others might
follow, and will be missed by his ma
ton more than any other man in il"

All that a woman may!
What did he gifts to the giver bring!

All that heart could hold,
All of her hopes and all Of her fears,
All of her sniies and oil OF her tears,
For one little circle OF .,o.d.
Told she the world of her bitter cheat?
All, no! With smiling face
She clothed her idol from head to feet
With the garments OF her grace.
And no one knew of the tears She wept
Her griefs they were never guessed
For hid in her heart Of hearts she kept
Her thorns of woe. And so she slept
With her hands across her brea t.
