SECRETARY nOODY
HURT BY RUNAWAY

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Jan 13.-Secretary
of the Navy William H. Moody was Sc
riously but not dangerously injured at
the Naval Academy grounds yesterday
in a runaway accident.
Accompanied by Senator Hoar.
chairman of the Senate naval affairs
committee, the secretary arrived here
at O'Clock to inspect the new build
fngs being erected in the Naval Acad-
envy grounds, being driven from the
railroad station in Superintendent
Brownson's private carriage. The bat
TALON of cadets were drawn up in line
of salute just inside the academy
grounds, and as the carriage bearing
the secretary, Senator Hoar and their
escort, Lieutenant Poyer, passed in
review, a salute of seventeen guns
belched forth from the guns on the
Santee wharf.
The restive horses attached to the
carriage swerved suddenly and got be-
yond control of the driver They
dashed down Upshur Row, past the
line of cadets, the driver meantime
making every effort to quiet them. The
breaking of the pole of the carriage as
the spirited animals dashed down the
roadway served to render them more
excited.
AS the maddened animals dashed
down the hill toward College creek the
driver seeking to stop them, suddenly
turned their heads into vacant lot
between two houses. Secretary Moody,
who had opened the door of the car
riage as the horses dashed over the
frozen ground. suddenly leaped to the
pavement as the carriage made the
turn into the enclosure. He landed on
his face on the pavement and was
rendered unconscious by the shock.
Slight cuts and bruises on his fore
head. nose and face are thought to be
the extent of the secretary's injuries.
Neither Senator Hale nor Lieutenant
Poyer was injured, as the horses were
brought up against wall soon after
making the turn into the open lot.

NEW MUSICAL CARDS
GERMAN WHISTLES BY MAIL

Postal Cards Bear Raised Pictures Of
Birds, Beasts or Persons That
Sing or Whistle When Pressed
II you should faint whistle about
the time that the letter carrier Is ex-
pected at your door, pay attention to
it, for it may be one of the latest nov
elites in the way of postal cards which
he is squeezing that causes this sibi-
liant sound. For the past few years
every steamship arriving from the 9TH
er side and carrying mails from Ger
many to this country has had a large
number of these postal cards in the
mail bags. They are of German inven-
ton and came here for the first time
this year. They are of the double
folder Kind. and in the center of the
rear fold on which may be inscribed
the message there. is whistle. By
squeezing it it gives forth a sound
which Is supposed to come from bird,
boy or any other figure which may
happen to be on the card
The card which seems to be the most
numerous in the mails is one on which
there is printed bird raised from the
paper and one side only showing on the
folder. When this is pressed the bird
begins to sing. There Is another on
which appears the figure of a boy, with
flute in his mouth. BY pressing this
papier mache figure 1t will also whistle.
On another there is a picture of Al
prima donna, who will send forth notes
If she is pressed to do so. If she won't
sing, then she will have to be made to-
sing by the method which is explained
on the card.
Those of the cards which have been
distributed here have caused no end OF
amusement to the clerks, distributors
and the letter carriers. The first lot
began to arrive about two weeks ago.
and they were mostly from Berlin.
where they are manufactured. Since
then nearly every boat carrying mail
from Germany has brought a large
number of them in the bags.
According to the head mail clerk in
the postoffice the folding cards on
which are contained the novelty are
the first which have been received
from the other side, this double folder
having been invented on this side Of
the Atlantic. The novelty of having
the whistle and the figures is distinctly
German invention.
The majority of the cards are direct
ed to New York City to relatives of the
senders and were meant for Christmas
remembrances. The steamship Kron-
prinz Wilhelm brought large number
of them to the city when she arrived
during the week. The idea is the same
on all of the cards, though the figures
are different. and are made to suit
different occasions.
That they will be copied in this coun-
try is without doubt, as they have al
ready proved very popular from an
amusement point of view with those
who have seen them, though it will
probably be too late to make them in
sufficient numbers for the Christmas
| trade.-New York Times.

What In Happinessy

Happiness is the greatest paradox in
nature. 1t can grow in any soil, live
under any conditions. 1t defies envi-
ronment, It comes from within. It is
the revelation of the depths Of the in
ner life as light and heat proclaim the
sun from which they radiate. Happi-
ness consists not of having, but of be-
ing; not Of possessing, but Of enjoying.
1t is the warm glow Of heart at peace
within itself. A martyr at the stake
may have happiness that king on his
throne might envy. Man is the creator
of his own happiness. 1t is the aroma
Of life lived in harmony with high
ideals. For what a man has he may
be dependent on others: what he is
rests with him alone. What he obtains
in life is but acquisition; what he at
tains is growth. Happiness is the souls
joy in the possession of the intangible.
William George Jordan. 81.

about sunset the band was playing, and
the natives of the desert had collected
and were listening to the music. Moth

struck up a tune which we now hear

Fish Spawn,

Senator w. w. Dunn, of St. Paul,
says that nearly forty times as many
fish spawn can be produced at the fish
hatchery than at present without any
additional cost Of maint enance, if the
facilities for Matching are provided.
Attention is directed to the fact that,
while Wisconsin, with half as many
lakes, has two up-to-date hatcheries,
Minnesota, with more lakes than any
state in the union, has only one
hatchery. Money is now available for
the purchase of a tract Of land adjoin-
ing the hatchery, with a spring dis
charging as.much water as the spring
which now furnishes all the water
used at the hatchery.
.E What is needed most now, says Ex-
secutiye Agent S. E. Fullerton, is an
appropriation for building pools and
houses to utilize the water of the
spring on the land to be acquired, the
rebuilding Of the old plank fish pools
and the erection Of much larger
