my jackass out to the camel. and let him fall of onto the jack. but l knew dad would sink my jack in minute. and wouldn't go in the river. Well the camels drank about an hour, with dad sitting there meditatfng. and then the dragomen got them out, and we started off for the pyramids, which were in plain sight like the pictures you have seen. with palm trees along the Nile, and Arabs camping on the bank. and 1t looked as though every thing was going to be all right when sud denly dads camel stopped dead still and wouldn't move a foot. and all the rest of the camels stopped closed their eyes and went to sleep and the Arabs went to sleep. and dad and the jackass and I were apparently the only ani- mals in Egypt that were awake.
 Dad kicked his camel In the ribs, but 1t wouldn't budge. He asked me if I couldn't think up up some way to start the procession. and l stopped my jack ass and thought minute, and told dad had 1t. I had bought some giant fire crackers and roman candles at Cairo. with which I was going to fire a salute on top of the biggest pyramid, to celebrate for old America, and I told dad what I had got and I thought if I got off my jackass and fired salute there in the desert 1t would wake them up.
 Dad said "all right. let CT go, but do it sort of easy. at first, so not to over do it." and I got my artillery ready. Say, you cant fire off fireworks easy. you got to touch a match to 'em and dodge, and take your chances. We'll. scratched a match and lit the giant fire cracker, and put it under the hind Ia0 af loAt n yuhpn If eynt to fizzing I lit my roman candle, and as the fire cracker exploded like a 16-inch gun, my roman candle began to spout balls of fire. and I aimed one at each camel, and the whole push started on a stampede for the pyramids, the camels grooming, the Arabs praying to Allah, dad yelling to stop Ter. and my jackass led the bunch and I was left in the desert to pick up the hats.
 I guess I will have to tell you tAe rest of the tragedy in my next letter.

 You have heard that camels can fill up with water and go for a week with out asking for any more. We'll, I guess the week was up, and it was time to load the camels with water, for as we came to the Nile every last camel made a rush for the river, and they went in like yoke of oxen on a stampede, and waded in clear up to the humps. and began to drink, and dad yelled for a life preserver and pulled his feet up on top and sat there like frog on a pond lily leaf

WILLIAM AT TANGIER.
Program Cut short by Report of an
 Anarchist Plot.

Anarchist Plot.
 Tangier. March 31.-Emperor Will liam of Germany paid a flying visit to Tangier today. remaining barely two hours on shore. The elaborate pro- gram for his reception and his enter tainment was much changed. the Em- peror confining himself to a visit to the German legation. where he received deputations of Germans in Morocco.
 The changed plans caused much com ment and disappointment. The Elm peror had been expected to land about s o'clock, but this was delayed six hours. Meanwhile Count Tattenbach- Ashold, former German Minister to Morocco. returned to the Hamburg be- fore the Emperor landed. It was off, cially stated that the reason for this procedure was the roughness of the sea. but after the departure of the Hamburg 1t was stated on good au- thority that Emperor William having heard that there was a possibility of an anti-French demonstration on the occasion of his visit desired to avoid such an incident.
 Another report which, however, has not received official confirmation, but Is generally accepted, states that the German legation was informed that an anarchist plot had been discovered and advised that the Emperor be dtssuaded from landing. Count Tattenbach Ashold visited the German legation and interviewed the Moorish authorities and afterwards notified his majesty that every precaution had been taken, but advised that the program be con fined to a visit to the legation.
 Notwithstanding the shortness of his majesty's stay in Tangier the oc- cAsion will certainly he marked as one of the most brilliant and pictu- resaue in the history of this pretty seaport The Moors exhibited unwont- ed enthusiasm and no untoward incl dent occurred. His majesty appeared to thoroughly enjoy his visit.

William in Collision.

Hamburg with Emperor William on board arrived at her moorlngs here at 6 D. m As she entered the harbor the British Mediterranean fleet hoisted the German ensign, the blue jackets manned ship and the war vessels fired a royal salute. This was followed by salute from the land batteries. The fleet and the land stations were dressed with bunting in honor of the imperial visitor. The Governor, Field Marshal Sira George Stuart White, and his staff immediately went on board the Ham burg and welcomed his majesty
 Owing to the lateness of his arrival here Emperor William decided to omit the drivo through the town which had been arranged for this afternoon. At 8 o'clock this evening, attired in a British field marshars uniform, the Emperor landed and was received by Major Agnew and the German Consul. He inspected the guards of honor. the Yorkshire Infantry and the Munster Fusiliers, which were drawn up at the convent, the official residence of the commander -in- chief where Gov ernor White gave dinner party to present guests In honor of the Elm peror with a garden party and recep- tio1 afterwards Meanwhile the Ger man consul gave a dinner 70 a large marty from the Hamburg.

A PRACTICAL FARM TRUCK.
One Which the Farmer Can Build
Will, Serve Him Acceptably In
the Cultivated Field.

There are many plats of ground
where it is inadvisable to take
wagon lest the wheels do a great deal
of damage to growing plants, and to
freshly-cultivated land, especially after
recent downpours yet to economize
time. and labor in gathering fruit or
spreading manure or in mulchlns
plants, haul of some sort seems In
dispensable, This obtains to even a
greater extent on some lands where
there is danger of overturning and not
stopping at just the proper place and
! time.
A broad tire and fat truck Will
neither tear up the ground, start at
improper moments, nor be liable tc
upset. For heavy lifting, and fol
spraying potatoes, the nearer the
ground the better, and if not made too
wide for field rows. yet high enough

Sarcasm ON the Battle Front.

The late Gen. Fitzhugh Lee had a
large fund of wartime anecdotes, He
used to tell this one: ION account OF
the shifting of officers to replace losses,
a young Irish captain was given COM
mand of raw troop OF volunteers who
we're under fire for the first time. Their
baptism must have unnerved the re-
cruits, for they never budged at the COM
mand to charge. A second command
likewise being disobeyed, to their lead
ers stupefaction. he rode along the
line, glaring reproachfully at his men
and demanded, sarcastically: 'Wha
ails you fellows, anyhow: Dye want Il
live forever?"

HINTS For COW STABLE.
No Objection to Storing Hay in the
Loft If the Flooring Be
Tight.

There is often doubt in the minds
of some dairymen whether a room over
which hay is stored can be safely used
for sanitary milk production, says II. |
e. Cook, of New York. This sentiment
is no doubt based upon the loose cell
ing of former years from which chait |
and dirt were constantly falling. 1t
can have no foundation in fact, when
the stable ceiling is constructed as
herein described. In our northern lati-
tudes, living rooms for COWS should
not be over eight and one-half to nine
feet from floor to ceiling. We are there
fore compelled to build floor between
the animals and the roof. Why not
use this loft for storage, whether 1t be
high or low? A track with car can be
| placed in the ridge of this loft,
where it is not convenient to drive
above, and hay can be filled in easily
! and cheaply. If the ceiling is perfectly
tight as it should be, there can be no
objection to storing hay or straw above
the stable. Only few of the certified
dairies have hay in a separate building;
the dust of hay is, of course, the chief

down into a narrow room separated
from the COW stable by partition, there
can be no good objection to this arrange
ment.
When the building is narrow, or when
it is not considered advisable to drive
into the cowroom for manure, the mod
ern track and carrier are convenient and
serviceable; use one that is easily ant
quickly raised and lowered for filling
1t should also be high enough from thu
ground when run out of doors to dunn
into wagon and thereby save on
handling of the manure. 1t should b
said that many dairymen prefer this al
rangement because considerable dirt i
unavoidably brought into the stabl
when the manure is collected with
team. In my personal experience thi
objection is more than offset by the cor
venience of the method. Convenience
feeding makes it essential that tn
granary, silo and root storage shoul
be at the most readily accessible poin
and stock can be cared for more quicl
ly and more cheaply if all the workir
parts of the building are in the grour
floor. Such construction might el

Restored.

Southern people have lately received
into their confederate museum bust
of "Stonewall" Jackson which had been
missing since the fall of Richmond.
when the city was taken, guard was
placed in the house of President Jeffer-
son Devils. A soldier of the guard stole
from the mantel small bust of Jackson,
and took it north with him.
Last winter Richmond gentleman
was lecturing in Boston on Gen. Lee.
In the audience was the soldier who had
committed the theft. Some good mo-
tive led him to put the bust in the lee
turer's hands the lecturer delivered it
to the confederate museum, which is
Davis house, and so 1t returned home
after an absence of 40 years.
To make the story complete, visitor
recognized the bust as one she had
seen, and discovered after some search
the name of the artist, a Baltimor'
sculptor. who had made 1t from deatf
mask which he took himself.
