The youngsters Immediately ran for the

lengths ahead of the bull, entered quick

Miss Heiteshew and two pupils were

The race between the teacher and pu-

AN INTELLIGENT MOUSE.

Trapped.

when we think of mice 1t is usually
Of the trouble they cause us; we are not
apt to credit the rodents with much in
telligence," said a lady at the sewing
circle, according to the New York
Times, 'but really had an experience
which shows that the little creatures

had been annoyed for some time by a
family of mice which lived in the walls
of the bedroom. They nibbled my
clothes, disturbed my sleep, and when
they grew SO bold as to go into the
canary's cagesand eat up its seed, my
patience gave out and determined to
fix them. I bought trap and set it by
the hole in the wall. For five nights L
caught mouse, then several days
passed without catching one, although
they were still there, for they kept up
their noise. although not coming into
my room any more.
"I found that the trap was all right,
but the hole in the wall had beer closed
from the inside. pulled the filing out.
It was not easy work, for 1t had been
evidently put there to stay, and was
made of bits Of plaster and rubbish. I
kept the hole open with the trap close
to it, but next day 1t was filled again
I repeated this clearing out process five
times and five times the filing was re-
placed. 1t was evidently the work OF the
mother mouse to prevent her little ones
from passing through what had proved
fatal gate to so many. And left the
hole closed, for the mice did not come
into my room again" .t

Hill occurred from the brides home, 667
Mississippi street, St Paul.
The gay bridal garments, which had
all been made, and other incidentals to
the ceremony which had been provided,
were laid aside in an unoccupied room,
and the young woman who was TO have
been joined for life to the man Of whom
death had robbed her was arrayed in
mournfuI black. The priest who had al
ready been engaged to performEthe mar
rage ceremony read the funeral service.
The endof the engagement of Mr.Hill
and Miss Morrison came on Monday,
when the intended groom died at Be
thesda hospital of appendicitis. The
stricken man was taken Ill two weeks
before, but the nature Of his affection
was not known at first. His physicians
held out assuring hopes to the anxious
man and the more anxious young wo-
man, who was constantly at his bedside
10 attend him.
Finally, his condition not improving,
he was advised to go to the hospital The
exact state Of his condition was carefully
kept from the solicitous young woman.
and she was told that he would be out OF
the hospital entirely well before the day
set for the wedding Preparations, there
fore, were carried on, and as the day
drew near everything was in readiness.
Monday, however, came a fatal re-
lapse, and all that his physicians could
do for him was of no avail. In the even
ing he died, while his intended bride was
putting the finishing touches to the
gown she was to have worn at her we'd
ding.
Gently the sad news of the death Of her
intended husband was broken to the
Inflated girl. So FRUSTRATED was she by
the news that she was carried to her bed,
where she was carefully attended by
sympathizing friends. She recovered
sufficiently to be present at the funeral.

Moro Music.

Moro music is strangely unrhyth-
mical to European ears It consists
mainly of a monotonous reiter-
alton of sound, even supposed
change of air being almost i'm
perceptible. to an ear unaccustomed
to the barbarous lack of tone. The Moro
piano is a wooden frame shaped like the
runners of child's sled, on which small
kettle drums are balanced by means OF
cords and sticks laid horizontally.
These rather resemble pots for the
kitchen range than musical instruments,
but each is roughly tuned, forming the
eight notes of the scale. Women crouch
ing on the floor before this instrument
beat out wailing sound from 1t with
shaped sticks, while from larger kettle
drums. hung by ropes from a wooden
railing at one side, two men accompan-
led the piano, and one old woman in the
background drummed out an independ-
ent air Of her own on an empty tin pan.

rison," in Everybody's Magazine.

Indication of the military spirit which
animates young Canada. The state OF

2.O00, 900 more than the entire Dominion
of Canada, yet its national guard has an
enrolment Of only IA ,468 men. Canadas

THE TORNADO.

Clouds low, low hung,
And wild birds flung,
Like leaves on the gust, go by;
And dash of rain
Strikes the window pane
Like tears from the heavy sky.
Tail trees wind-blown
Writbe round and groan,
Erike back at the blast, and bend
In tortured toss
TIL their branches cross,
And their tops with the grasses r. s.Ed.
From caverns far
Where northwindS are
The god of the storm comes forth:
On his far-f1ung breath
Rides shrieling death,
And its mantle Is over earth.
Huge pillows rise
Where the ocean lies
Till the heavens are washed in brine;
Mems souls go out
In the tempest's rout,
And wild beasts crouch and whine.
Man, who forgot
In his pursuit hot
OF pleasure, golden shod,
With plea for peace
And storms swift cease
Creeps back to an outraged God!

LIFE ON A FIGHTING SHIP.

NTARDROOM life aboard American
w men-of-war has greatly changed
with the growth of the new navy. The
bigger ships of today carry more officers
than those of twenty years ago, and the
FASTENED promotion of the last five years
has changed somewhat the character of
the personnel in the wardroom. The of
ficer who presides at the head of the
wardroom table is no longer a grizzled
veteran who has eaten his heart out with
twenty years OF monotonous service in
the grades below lieutenant commander.
Bearded ensigns thirty years of age and
drawing pay that barely enables them
to live, no longer haunt the ships of
the United States Navy. Promotion and
command come earlier. and men who
even ten years ago would have been
seated well toward the foot of the ward
room table now dine in the lone dignity
OF the cabin. With the fuller table of
the wardroom there is more variety of
character and conversation, and with
greater activity everywhere throughout
the service men have Hvelier interests.
Old stories are not heard so frequently,
and men do not harden into set pecu-
liarities of views and manner as they
did when promotion was slow and duty.
from being the same for long years to-
gether, was dull and insipid.
Some things remain, however, much as
they We're, because tradition is powerful
in the navy. Chan? Yes: a good deal
of 1t as of yore. There is always some
man in the twenty or more who live in
the wardroom keen enough to penetrate
the most secretive of his fellows and
discover their lurking weakness. Once
discovered. that weakness is a proper
subject for chaff. The freshness of the
young Doctor" the Incidence of the pay
