A Troublesome Turtle.
BY Elizabeth webb

I once had q turtle named Potlphar. and
for twenty-four hours that turtle was the
trial OF my life. When I first made his
acquaintance he was sitting placidly on a
bit OF wood In a round glass bowl at the
animal store looking as good and amiable
bought him and the man at the store took
him out OF the water. told me his name
was Potiphar and put him into car and
put the bag down on the seat beside me
after carefully screwing up the mouth SO
that he couldn't get out. But Potiphar was
wet and the bag was Of paper, and while
l was looking out the window that animal
pushed his way out through the soft, moist
paper and started on for walk along the
seats of the car. Next me sat an old gem
tisman reading the paper. and what did
that turtle OF mine do but crawl Into his
overcoat pocket.
As the car neared my corner I picked UP
the bag. 1t felt strangely light looked
at It. It was quite empty. In the side was
q great hole. where the turtle had torn his
lessly. Where was Potiphar2 What should
dot had just made up my mind to ask
the conductors help when the old gentle
man next me put his hand into his coat
pocket to got his handkerchief. Ny how
astonished he was when he pulled out PotI-
phar along with It'll Ginger.y the old gem
denan picked him up between his thumb
and finger and handed him to me. Potiphar
stretched his neck out OF his shell as far as
1t would 80. twisting his head from side to
side. and looked just as naughty and mis-
chieyous a. speckied turtle possible can
look
took Potiphar home and put him down
In the middle Of the grass plot There I
left him looking as good a. gold ana went
upstairs few minutes later looked out
OF the window and there lay Potiphar on
his back in the middle OF the path. kicking
heiplessly.
Down stairs went and set him on his
feet again. Five minutes later he was lying
on his back pathetically waving his feet M

I thought that poor thing was on his back

opportunity to tell of how the old fellow
went a-flshing.
He went. and. arriving at the place or
meeting found many of his friends. Sew
.eral parties remarked at the absence OF
Ola Fox and Mr.. Turtle, who were always
on hand at such times; but after hearing
the coons story on the first night. how
ever, they ceased to wonder at the foxs
absence.
When they had spent several days IN
discussing the various affairs of the times,
singing. dancing and telling stories around
the fire at night. Cousin Coon suddenly
took a notion that he must go home, and,
bidding his many friends goodbye he set
out.
He Travelled contentedly on his road all day
long. singing and occasionally talking to
himself, to help pass the time away, and
as he came out or the forest along the lake
shore he saw a number of nice fat geese
swimming around not very far from the
edge OF the water.
''Yo-ho my friends. come here, have
sone news for you. Where 1 have Just

sticks and built great fire, which ne
knew would soon burn down and leave
nice bed OF Goals and hot ashes. In this
he could roast his goose to delicious
crisp.
From away down on the river, Old FOX,
looking out of his lodge, saw the light OF
the fire on the hill and said to himself:
Now wonder If that old rascal has got
ten home, and for what reason he has
built such a great fire as that. III just
take look around that way after while
and see about It."
Cousin Coon's great fire had burned down,
as he knew 1t would do, leaving the fine bed
OF Goals and hot ashes Just as he wanted
them. He had been very busy preparing
his game, and all was ready Taking a
stick he scraped a place In the hot ashes
and carefully put his geese in it. He placed
them on their backs. all in a nice row, with
their feet sticking upward. He covered
them over nicely and smoothed the ashes
and Goals over them, leaving the three pairs
of webbed feet sticking out of the ashes In
a row.

that II might be q good i'd for him to

He had just received notice from a runner
of a great council that was to be held at
some distance from his place. and he at

and at all euch gatherings he was very
welcome and of come importance. in his own
estimation at least At any rate he could
not think of missing this council, for he

FAIL TO DECIDE.
Sheridan Statue Commission to Meet
Again in July.

The Sheridan statue commission, which
Is charged with the duty of erecting a
statue of Lieutenant General Philip H.
Sheridan In this city, held a meeting In
the office of Secretary Taft at the War De-
partment this forenoon. The members of
the commission are Secretary Taft Sena-
tor Wetmore of Rhode Island and LIeuten-
ant General II. C. Corbin, the latter repre-
senting the Society of the Army of the
Cumberland.
In April 1892 agreement was entered
into with Mr. ]. @. A. Ward, the distin-
guished sculptor of New York. for the con-
struction of an equestrian statue of the
great cavalry leader, in accordance with
an approved design. Congress appropria-
ted $4,000 for the statue and the Society
of the Army of the Cumberland raised
an additional $1,000. The commission se-
lected Sheridan Circle on Massachusetts
avenue west as the site of the statue.
Through one cause and another the sculp-
tor has so far failed to complete the statue.
He made one model, which was accepted
by the commission, but the artist was dis
satisfied with 1t and destroyed ii. That
was several years ago. Since then Mr.
Ward, who Is now an old man, has been
at work on another model and recently
completed II In his studio in New York.
The three members OF the commission in
spected the model at different times within
to have determined the question OF Its ac-
ceptance rejection The session lasted
over an hour and at It's close 1t was an
nounced that no final action had been taken
and that another meeting Of the commits
sion will be held early In July.
