SEE BEAVERS FELL.
TREE in BRONX
HUNDREDS OF SUNDAY VISITORS
WATCH LITTLE ANIMALS PRE-. I
PARE THEIR WINTER
HOME.

NEW YORK. Nov. 14.-For several
weeks a colony of beavers in the
Bronx Zoological, Park have. been
wording to prepare a dam, that they
might construct their village for the
winter.
Sunday afternoon the head OF the
village. a fierce old fellow with
whiskers. called the. members to.
gether for the final work.
An eighteen inch oak tree which
had been left standing in the pond
for the beavers to work upon needed
only little gnawing to topple it
over into the water. No woodchop.
per ever guaged more closely the di.
rection in which tree must fall than
the aged beaver.
When the oak fell 1t landed in ex.
actly the spot where the beavers
knew 1t must fall to make the dam.
The aged beaver, who had been in.
strumental in Telling many trees,
took the result with the utmost com
posure, but he did bark just little
as he gave orders for continuation
of the work. All of the beavers, af-
ter they had congratulated one an
other, set to work gathering sticks
and brush with which to perfect the
dam. 1
1t will only be a little time now be
fore they will enlarge their village
and have plenty of water in which to
swim. Several hundred persons wit
messed the telling of the tree.
A pair Of mallard ducks that did
not understand the beaver tongue
when told to get out of the way were
killed by the falling tree.

Clean. Manly Football.

them. OF this the New York Sun
says: IF the Army-Navy games that
have gone before are criterion the
Secretary need have no worry. The
annual contests between the soldiers
and middies have been models of
square. clean, manly play, the sort of
play the two Government academy
eleyens are accustomed to. That is
the sort of play that may be looked
for from the cadets with the train.
ing they get. In their own big game,
as well as in their other contests,
they play football without forgetting
that craftsmanship is the main thing.
And other teams can play the same
sort of footabll IL they will. Speak.
ing of Army-Navy football. the navy
at present has the call over the army.
This is condition contrary to the
usual order of things and a condition
arising from the fact that the navy
has not been scored on, while the
army has been scored on twice and
beaten once.-Army and Navy Jour

SOME MYSTERY
ABOUT DEWEY
ABSENT FROM ALL couRTEsIEs
TO PRINCE LouIs-How
WASHINGTON TAKES 1T.


comment has been made not only In
naval and army circles, but as well
in official and social circles, on the
strange absence of Admiral Dewey's
name and presence in connection
with any of the festivities and en-.
tertainments now being given Prince
Louis. of Battenberg. 1t has been
remarked that not since the British
Rear Admiral arrived in American
waters has there been a formal or
Informal exchange of visits between
the American Admiral and the Brit.
ish Prince. TIE Prince called upon
the Secretary of the Navy, and all
the rear admirals on duty in this
city assisted the Secretary in receiv.
ing the Prince. But Admiral Dewey
was not present. It was not the Adj
miral of the American Navy who en-
tertained the British Rear Admiral,
but Lieutenant General Chaffee, the
head of the Army. He was the only
official. outside of the President, who
entertained the Prince during his
Washington visit, and even on this
occasion Admiral Dewey was not
present, although he was invited and
expected to meet the Prince at the
state dinner at the White House that
night.
Some are saying that Admiral Dew
ey's health has not been such as to
permit him to entertain, but he was
evidently well enough to go to the
White House dinner, and has been at
his office at the Navy Department al
most every day for a week past. Ad.
miral Dewey did not attend any of
the entertainments given Prince
Louis at Annapolis, nor did he call
on him while the fleet was lying off
Annapolis. The conduct of Admiral
Dewey recalls the fact that when
Prince Henry of Prussia. the brother
of the German Emperor, visited
America Admiral Dewey packed up
and went to Florida and remained
there almost all the time the German.
Prince was in America.
This was explained by his friends
by the statement that Admiral Dew
dey's relations with the German naval
service after the memorable battle
of Manila were so strained that he did
not. care to meet the German Prince
in Washington. But the real cause
for Admiral Dewey's disappearance
from Washington during Prince Hen
rvs visit was due to an incident long
before the battle of Manila, and not
to one after the battle. While Adj
miral Dewey and his fleet were at
Hongkong, prior to the battle of Ma.
Mia, he attended banquet at which
Prince Henry was present, and dur.
Ting the evening Dewey arose from
his seat at the table AMI left the
room, the excuse being made that he
had taken offense at some action of
Prince Henry. which he interpreted
as personal affront. But no such
personal reason is known to exist
why Admiral Dewey did not care to
see Prince Louis, and officials as well
as others say that Admiral Dewey's
rank required him TO bury his per.
sonal feelings and to extend to a
visiting officer the courtesy due his
rank, and not leave 1t to different
branch of the service to observe pro-
prieties that by social usage devolved
upon him.

INFANTILE DIETARY.

To make prominent a few practical
hints the following are mentioned: \
Don't give acid milk.
Don't use tube in the nursing bot
tie.
Don't allow the bottle or nipple to
be any other way than antiseptic
Don't continue to give stuff that does
not nourish.
Don't fail to sterilize milk early and
then cool rapidly by running cold wa
ter.
Don't forget the necessity of pure
air. cleanliness and proper clothing.
Don't forget that the infant is a crea-
>ture OF habit and can be taught the
proper frequency and amount of food
and the time for Sleep
Don't produce collie By allowing milk
to flow too freely.
Don't forget that infants are sensi-
tive to starches.S
Remember always to norish.

Of his dining by means of a fork, prop

Consequently the lighthouse keepers;
daughter promptly fell idolatrously in
love with the young scientist.
The young scientist couldn't help it.
He felt flattered that the young woman
considered him possessed of the fatal
gift of beauty, and all that, but mas
much as he was engaged to a Washing
ton young woman. who knew how to
make honiton doylies and could play
monastery Bells" and The Maiden's
Prayer on the piano. he really felt very
badly over the cascade of affection law
ished upon him by the Virginia sea
nyn1ph and daughter of nature.
Moreover, the girl herself had
beau. He was a rawboned young fish
erman, who combined business with
pleasure by "coteing" her while he
creased his boots
This was, of course, a complication
from the viewpoint of the young

fisherman beau, and 'he didn't want to.
After only half completing his work
of gathering specimens, he packed up
and came back to Washington, glad to
again find himself within the safe. en-

Sadly enough, the lighthouse keepers
daughter pursued him with more or less
violently affectionate letters-none the
less affectionate because they were one
and all signed "yures very respekfly."
The guileless, conscientious young
man of science was much perturbeI after
having received several dozens of these
billet-doux. and he decided to ask the
counsel OF his immediate chief in the
matter.
When he did so. his Immediate chief
lay back in his chair and-well, hollered
He gave the embarrassed young scien-
fist the loud and long laugh Then,
brutally enough. he related the story
unto the delighted ears of the rest of the
corps of scientists of the Smithsonian
institution. They. likewise, hollered.
The name of the lighthouse keepers
daughter is rather unusual-say It is
