Colonel's Change Of Heart

The following story is told of Col.
Asa Barron, whom old-time patrons of
the Crawford house will remember as
the proprietor of this famous resort
in the White mountains.
Henry Ward Beecher, while on one
of his pleasure trips, found himself at
the Crawford house one Sunday morn
ing in July. The colonel meeting his
guest on the veranda. proposed a
walk, to which Mr.. Beecher agreed.
Col. Barron inquired if Mr.. Beecher
would not like to see his hogs, of
which he was very proud. Mr.. Beech
err, who was very fond of livestock,
said he would be delighted, and they
turned aside toward the pens. AS
these were much higher than ordinary
Col. Barron called one of his men to
drive out the hogs for his guest to
see.
The driving commenced, and with
many impatient grunts at this I'M
wonted disturbance the drove was at
last brought to view, except one old
boar. Hearing his frantic rushes and

King Lewanika of Barotseland, in
South Africa, made voyage to Eng
land a few years ago in the company
of Col. Harding, the British govern
ment agent. He was much puzzled by
the voyage. GLOW can we travel by
night?" asked the king on one oc-
casion. There are no lights to steer
by, and no land to keep in sight of.
Again he asked: What are those
things above my head?" pointing to
the life-belts in his cabin. When it
was explained that the pople put these
things on when shipwrecked and they
wished to swim to land he replied:
where is the land to swim to-" The
king got seasick Col. Harding says:
"Once when there was more tossing

the chief. He was delighted and said:

Deserted towns were common out
west in the days of the land boomer,
but deserted streets are seldom re-
corded in America, though they are
fairly common abroad.
Many of these are the result OF lit
igation, as in the case of a block of
seven houses in Versailles, where a
lawsuit over an estate has left the
property without tenants for eleven
years. So warm has been the dispute
that the interested parties cannot even
agree upon caretaker, and the mid
die house, once occupied by the owner
of the property, is filled with hand
some furniture and effects which are
slowly rotting because Of lack of care.
Moscow has a row of seventeen
handsome houses left without tenants
because of two murders and suicide
within few months. The notoriety
given the case drove out the tenants

ready Have Cold Feet.
Thre women are going with Peary
on his polar exploration trip. But
they are only booked for a part of the
way. When the real difficulties may
be expected they will turn back to
warmth and civilization.
This is disappointing. If women
want to put stop to such accusations
as that recently made by Labouchere,
that they cannot fight and therefore
should not vote, they ought not to
back out of such expeditions as that
of Peary
By nature, women are adapted to
discovering the poles. The scientists
tell us that women breathe with the
upper part of their lungs and need less
oxygen than men. That is why they
can stand corsets and keep warm in
diaphanous garments when a man
wants summer overcoat. That is
why they are SO partial to ices. That
is why they seldom complain of cold
feet after tripping through the slush
in slippers. What is needed, in order
to speedily find the North pole, is an
expedition whose members won't get
cold feet.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

A South African Kingdom

In Barotesland Col. Harding one day
delivered to a native chief message
which King Lewanika had talked into
photograph. The chief "gazed blank
ly, wildly, from side to side, looking
this way and that, and finally, in spite
of rheumatic difficulties, rose to his
feet, and stumbling to the table, gazed
long and hard down the mouth of the
trumpet, with the evident lively hope
of seeing there his masters head. Not
finding it, he turned away dazed, and
said: How can iron speak? How
can it know my language?' Then he
added, with the air of one who has
solved all difficulties: This is witch
craft.
Royal blood in Barotesland has to
be accompanied by merit if it amounts
to anything. Says Col. Harding: "To

An appearance of a new island in
the Japanese seas calls to mind other
rapid risings of land in the ocean.
An island suddenly came to light off
the coast of Sicily, remained two
months and as quickly disappeared.
Sabrina, near the Azores, retired
from public life before it was fairly
charted. The Gulf of Mexico has wit
messed the advent and subsistence of
small islands. These upheavals of the
bed OF the ocean suggest all sorts of
mysteries connected with the I'M
known depths. An uncanny experience
is related.

from Manila to the Sandwich islands
1t was silent, dead-black night. The
lead showed deep sea. Suddenly we
felt as if we were grounded. The
mate suggested a sunken wreck, but
the skipper stuck to the theory of
earthquake. Subsequent events showed
he was right.
Daybreak revealed a low and misty
sky. We lay as if becalmed in the
midst of an oily sea, strangely dis
colored in patches. Suddenly the
water trembled. l can use no other
word. The ship rolled and in the dis
lance rose a huge, balloon-shaped
mass of vapor, steam or smoke. There
was not the slightest sound, but a
long line of chatting water stretched
across the streaky calm. Then the
vapor settled over all and we could
