Soldier Finds Widow of Man Who

Mrs. E. R. Bootey of jamestown, N

stranger came to the door and asked
her name.
Finding she was Mrs. Bootey, he
said he was lying in a southern hos

to get home, but had no money. A
companion gave him SIS, with which
he made the journey. His companion
was E. r. Bootey, a lad from Chautau-

again.
Mr.. Bootey has been dead several
years, and the stranger paid to his

Mrs. Bootey had never heard her
husband speak of the incident, but &C
cepted the payment and thanked the

DOG HAD NOT FORGOTTEN.

Something must have stung your

a suburbanite, whom he was visiting
few days ago, as he noticed the an
tics of large collie which, after
swapping frantically at flying in
sect, lowered his head and carefully
licked his right forepaw.
No" replied the owner of the dog,
that is only little delusion of his.
When he was a puppy a bee stung
him on that foot you see him attend
ing to, and ever since he has cher
ished a standing grudge against flying
insects. Apparently the sight of one
not only arouses his anger, but re-
calls most wildly his first experience
with one, for each time after run
ming after one, whether he catches
it or not, he stops and tenderly ticks
the place where he was stung two
years ago. AS far as 1 know he has
never been stung since then Phila-

The odor arrested the attention of
the goats as being very tempting.
They swarmed down the mountain

proved fatal, as they had eaten so
much that they were poisoned. The

they are worth $3.50 each in season.

HAS FoNDNEss FOR SNAKES.
Little Pennsylvania Darkey a Puzzle
to Naturaiists.

Prof. H. A. Surface, State Economic
Zoologist, has found the Boy Snake
Charmer of Harrisburg" according to
a dispatch from the Pennsylvania
city.
The other day Prof Surface was
engaged in sorting snakes for his
new volume, "On the Snakes of Penn
sylvania," when a little black face ap-
peared in the doorway and squeaky
little voice asked:
rs heah wheah de snaik man
lfves?"
The professor thought a moment
and then said that he was the man
who was looking for snakes.
The little fellow beamed and asked
the professor if he would let him see
some of his snakes.
Certainly said the professor, and
he went to his collection, where a
lively Kissing viper and a large black
snake were coiled up Both of these
snakes are perfectly harmless, but
the boy did not know it. He was de-
lighted over the snakes and the
squirming and twisting of their beau
tiful bodies seemed to charm him.
When DR.. Surfaces attention was
diverted to another part of the room
the negro ndu reached iHlo the ooA
and took out the kissing viper, and
followed this by lifting out the black
snake, which coiled about him. He
was fondling the snakes when DR..
Surface turned and the boy was ap-
parently not a bit afraid.
The boys name is James Dean and
he is a familiar object on Harris
burg's streets, clad in a red sweater,
short trousers and shoes that have
seen better days. He wears neither
hat nor stockings. At the meeting of
the Harrisburg Naturalists' club, DR..
Surface took Jimmy" Dean as an
object lesson and the little fellow
handled the snakes as if they mad al
ways been his playmates, much to
the establishment of the members of
tire club.

Statistics of Billiards.

Taxation enables many curious Ia
bies of statistics to be compiled. 1t
would probably puzzle the best of
English statisticians to guess even
approximately at the number of bill
lizard tables in use in England. There
is no such difficulty in France, where
the billiard table is a taxed luxury.
and its relative frequency in COM
munes of all grades of population and
wealth is made the subject of calcu-
Iations as elaborate as they are in
genious. In all France there are
SO SIG billiard tables, divided among
1861 communes, and realizine more
than $4,000 in taxes.-London Tit

statue, who will be surprised to learn
that the body of the great poet was
once on view at a charge of threepence
a head within few yards from the
site chosen for this splendid tribute to
his memory.
1t was in 1890, after carousal, that
two overseers and a carpenter enter
ed the Church of ST. Giles, Cripple
gate, where Milton lay buried, and,
having discovered the leaden coffin
which contained his body, cut open it's
top with a mallet and chisel When
they disturbed the shroud," Neve says,
when telling the story of the ghoulish
deed, the ribs fell. Fountain con-
fessed that he pulled hard at the
teeth, which resisted until someone hit
them with stone. Fountain secured
all the fine teeth in the upper jaw, and
generously gave one to one of his &C
completes. Altogether the scoundrels
stole rib bone, ten teeth and several
handfuls of hair; and, to crown the
diabolical business. the female grave
digger afterward exhibited the body
to any one willing to pay threepence
for the spectacle. ---Westminster Ga

Reserved for Humans.

Cannibalism appears to. be unknown
among the lower animals in a state
of nature. In India some instances of
snakes devouring one another have
been collected, but it has been point
ed out that in every case cited the
snakes were of different species.
This, it is declared, is no more an act
of cannibalism than the devouring of
a field mouse by a rat. Unquestion-
able cannibalism was noted some
years ago in a London menagerie,
when a python ate another of its
own kind, but this was under the I'M
natural conditions imposed by life in
captivity.

Back at Chattanooga.

Il was IN Chattanooga last week
said the captain, land went over ~
the Chickamauga battlefield to locate
the camp of the First Illinois in 1898.
| couldn't find it, or at least / could
not locate it by any of the old land
marks. All traces of the old camp have
been obliterated, and new camps of
more permanent character have taken
the place of the old ones. In a few
months other changes will have taken
place, giving to the regular cavalry
stationed in the park the model bar
racks and camp of the country.
The Seventh cavalry is there now,
the troopers riding along the roads
that were the scenes of many dashing
soldier adventures in September, 1863
An old surgeon riding with me over
the field pointed out where full regi-
ment of rebel cavalry crossed the river
in the rear of his brigade and galloped
by log shanty behind which he had
just established his field hospital
The men in gray seemed oblivious of
the men in blue firing in 'front.' and the
men in blue were as oblivious of the
presence of the enemy's cavalry in their
rear. That illustrated, the doctor said,
what mix-up there was at Chicka-
manga.
A little later our driver, pointing
to large mandatory near the base
OF Lookout mountain, said: In spite
of the mix-up some of the boys were
lucky in the outcome. There is a fell
low named Patten, an Illinois man,
by the way, who is worth 50 900 900
because of a leg shattered by a cam
non ball over in the park, before it
was a park. He was so severely
wounded that he could not be sent
north with the other wounded of the
battles hereabout, and was still in
hospital when the war closed The
result was he remained here, went
into business, and is now worth 81
100000. If his leg had not been
crushed by a cannon ball, or If he had
gone home lame, he might have lost
his chances to become a millionaire !"

Deaths Of Confederate onicers.


Much has been said in the Euro
pean press of the death of Lieut.. Gen.
Count Keller, of the Russian army,
who was killed in a recent battle with
the japanese in Manchuria. Gen. KEEL
Ter was the first officer of high rank
killed on either side, with the excep-
ton of the Russian Admiral Makhar-
off, who was blown up in a warship
at Port Arthur. 1t may be out of
place to mention that in the civil war
in this country the Confederates had
killed in battle no less than ffty-two
general officers, of whom one was
general of the highest rank and COM
handkerchief, Albert Sydney John
ston, who fell at Shiloh, and three
lieutenant generals, Leonidas Polk,
Stonewa1l Jackson and A. p. Hill.
There were eight major generals and
forty brigadier generals. The Confed-
crates fought great odds, and it was
necessary for officers of the highest
rank to expose themselves. They
went with their men into every dam
ger, and this was the reason WHY So
many were killed in battle, while few
escaped being wounded.-New Or
