TERRAPIN,S NtETsloRY COOL.
The Story That Was Told by Mary
land Man of Wonderful Recol-
lection of Pet.

That Br'er Tarrypin has memory IL
proved by a story told by Mr.. Young ID.
Hance, who owns the birthplace OF
Chief Justice fancy, on Battle creek,
in Calvert county.
Mr.. Hance, says the Baltimore Sun,
keeps a small boat under mulberry
tree on the shore of the creek, and on
going to the boat early one morning he
noticed dry land terrapin busily en-
gagged in eating a few mulberries which
had fallen. Mr.. Hance, wishing to as
sist Br'er Tarrypin in getting his
breakfast, gathered some mulberries
and pitched them to him one at time.
In very short time the terrapin be-
gan to catch the berries in his mouth
exactly as they were thrown to him.
Every day afterward a slight knock on
the side of the boat would bring the
terrapin out for his mulberrles, ana
Mr.. Hance often took his friends and
visitors to see his pet.
On one occasion a fresh young man
threw a piece of tobacco to the terra
uin instead of mulberry Br'er larry
pin retired at once in disgust and for
days afterward refused to come when
called Although Mr.. Hance finally in
duced him to come again for his null
berries, Br'er Tarrypin remembered
the tobacco and would never approach
unless Mr. Hance was alone.

INTOLERANCE OF THIBETANs
Natives Not Permitted to Perform
the Slightest Service for
Foreigners.

To show the severity and tyranny of
the authorities over their subjects,
will relate what happened to one of my
escort for complying with most harm
less request, which, unfortunately,
had made to him, writes Capt j. H.
Baldwin, in Chambers Journal.
One morning, when starting for the
hills, as usual, in search of game, we
happened to pass the spot where our es-
cort had spent the night. noticed that
one of the party-the youngest and most
pleasing looking Of the group-was
seated on the ground repairing the soles
of his boots with some narrow strips of
hide, Remembering that one of pair
of my own shooting boots required
mending, I asked Dhun Singh to take
1t over to the man when we returned in
the evening, and to try to get him to do
what was required. On the following
morning my boot was brought back to
me, roughly repaired, but once more fit
for use. / sent small present to my
Tartar friend, and thought no more
about it. Some days afterward, while
I was in my tent about midday, Dhun
Singh called me outside. The poor fell
low who had mended my boots was
standing beside hem. The other three
of the Tartar guards were not in sight.
CHANGING anxiously behind him, to make
sure that he was not being watched, the
man suddenly threw off his sheepskin
coat, exposing his back and shoulders,
and showing the he had been recently
most cruelty and shamefully beaten with
the lash. To my establishment, Dhun
Singh informed me that this terrible
punishment was the result of the Tar
tar's having complied with the small
request had made of him to repair
my boot.

CAT WON VICTORY EASILY.
Meeting Of Tom and Toodlums in a
New York Water Pipe Proved
Quite Eventful.

Toodlums, before he entered the con-
tEst, was a spotlessly white New York
lap dog. His mistress, who was also
attired in spotless white, had been CIV
ing him an airing.
Toodlums and his mistress strolled
east on Thirtieth street from Seventh
avenue. Recently the water depart
ment has been placing new 12-inch pipes
thereabout. preparatory To doing some
radical tearing up of the street.
The pipes are along the gutter the
whole length of the block between Sixth
and Seventh avenues. Toodlums saw
them, and found it no end of good fun
to run in at one end and out at the other.
While exploring the pipes Toodlums
ran afoul of a large tomcat, that had

LOOKED LIKE A DEGENERATE

been enjoying siesta in the cool pipe.
Toodlums stopped and barked; Tom
sputtered and sneezed. Once more
Toodlums barked, and his mistress
thought there was hollow note Of
despair about the bark
Come, Toodlums," she cried.
The only sounds that came from the
interior of the pipe were the fierce
caterWauling Of tomcat and the frantic
yelps Of Toodlums. The fight inside of
the pipe lasted fully five minutes, much
to the joy of crowd which gathered.
The only one who did not seem to enjoy
the racket was the mistress of TODD
lumS
Finally there was silence in the pipe
Toodlums' mistress wept copious tears.
Hes dead-he'd dead" she walled.
Poor Toodlums. I'll sue the city,
But presently there was low whin-
ing sound, and out of the pipe crept a
thing which might at one time have
been Toodlums. He now looked like a
degenerate ancestor. He was scratched
and dusty, and as he walked sections of
his once milky coat fell like week old
snow upon the sidewalk
Inside the pipe Thomas had resumed
his broken slumber.

WHAT THE RUSSIANS READ.
Even the Children Are TERRIBLY Up
to-Date" in Literary
Preferences.

William Lyon Phelps, in Booklovers
Magazine, writes: Of authors outside of
Russia, according to recent voting
contest among Russian schoolchildren,
Guy de Maupassant led all the rest,
with the respectable total of Sc admir-
ers; then followed Erckmann-Ch
lola, Dickens, and Hugo; and just in
side the breastworks fell Goethe and
Schiller, with So votes apiece Shakes
peare and Cervantes, as well as Ibsen
and Daudet, straggle along, hopelessly
out of the race, with less than so to do
them reverence.
But it is bewildering to find even the
children Of Russia SO terribly up-to-
datei Those sensitive souls who bewail
the crassness of American Philistinism
should turn their eager eyes toward the
north. Maupassant and Cork are GER
tainly not milk for babes. While their
extreme popularity in Russia demon
strates a rather complete intellectual
emancipation among the boys and girls
from the moral point Of view our only
comment, like Quintilian, is to stare and
gasp.

TO FORCE A BATTLE
Japanese Have a Great Army
East Of Liaoyang.
EUROKI NOW THREATENS RAILWAY
Count KeIIer's Corps at Fengwang-
cheng Is Being Constantly At
tackled Near DaIin

LONDON, July 9.-Reports from the
front received st st. Petersburg indi-
cate that the continued and increasing
activity of the Japanese is all impor-
tart. The advance posts of Lieutenant
General Count Keliers force. holding
the Fengwangchepg roads converging
on Liaoyang, are faced by a heavy Jap
aneSe force, and there is constant Skin
mishing in the region of Dalin pass
At neither point has there yet been de-
yeloped an unmistakable forward
movement, so that General Kurokis
blow at the railway, which every one
at the front is expecting, may fall any
where between Kaichow and Lao
yang.
1t is believed that the Japanese are
planning an immediate attack of some
sort before the rains begin again.
4 Liaoyang dispatch says that there
have been repeated skirmishes during
the past few days at Dalin pass, some
of them being hand to hand encoun-
ters.
The Japanese have a tremendous
s force east of Liaoyang, and they evil
IDENTITY want to force a big battle be-
fore the rains set in.
The Russian soldiers are anxious for
q fight. Whatever may be the strate-
gical plans of the generals, nothing, it
is evident, would please the soldiers
better than to be allowed to close with
the Japanese.
A Tientsin report says that three
Frenchmen who have arrived at Taku
from Port Arthur state that 10000 sol
diers and 10000 marines compose the
garrison Of the Russian stronghold and
that the Russians have mounted TOO
guns on the heights of Port Arthur.
They say also that the Russian torpe-
do boat destroyer Lieutenant Burukoff
has made in all four trips from Port
Arthur to Newchwang.

Ichthvosaurns in a Cave.

During the past year it has been dis
covered that the chalk pits at Chisel-
hurst, England, are ancient British cave
dwellings, dating back some 1000 years.

down through narrow shafts, some of
which are IS feet deep. A labyrinth OF
passages and chambers exists, and in the
midst of them is large circular apart
ment supposed to have been a>druidical

to be seen, partly uncovered. The body
of the monster is embedded in the chalk
rock.-Youth's ComDanion
