REBEL YELL" COSTING HIS LIFE.
One "Hurrah for Dixie" Sent confed-
 crate Veteran to Mexican Prison.
thn Atlanta Constitutlon.

From the Atlanta Constitution
 Fl Paso, Tex.-"Hurfah for Dixie, v yelled at the topmost pitch of a good pair of western lungs, is costing the life or Mac Stewart, veteran prospector and min ing man. Stewart one of the most gal lant soldiers which the Lone Star state sent to the Confederate army, Is slowly dying at the home of relatives in the little town of Navasota, Texas.
 Eleven years ago Stewart started on a mining and prospecting tour in the state if Shihuahua, old Mexico A little too exuberant. walking the streets of the small town of Parral, celebrating in per- haps a trifie too boisterous manner, the old rebel yell came to Stewart and he ripped it out in the regulation style of the boys in gray during the early eos. He topped it off with "Hurrah for Dixie." The Mexican gendarrne did not under stand the language, but he did not like the noise. He protested. Stewart tried to explain. Neither comprehended fully what the other meant. In the altercation which followed guns were drawn. The policeman was shot and killed. Although the plea of self defense was set up, 8. trial was followed by a conviction and sentense of death. Stewart was doomed to stand up and be a target for soldiers. those who receive the death penalty in Mexico being shot In the military fash ion.
 Ills sentence was commuted to twenty years and in the prison In the city of Chi huahua he served ten years of this sen tence. Then through the tireless efforts If his old comrades he was released. A big delegation of Fl Paso ex-Confederates. headed by the mayor of the city, crossed the Rio Grande to Juarez and met Stew art as he stepped from Mexican Central train.
 Broken in health, weakened by the long confinement, in faded, dusty clothes, his hat across his arm thls hot June day. Stewart descended from the train to re- ceive an ovation. American words, so long strangers to his tongue, came with diff culty and he could hardly find the lan- guage to thank his old comrades. In long association with the Mexican prison guards, he had almost forgotten how to speak English. With tears In his eyes, he faltered his thanks. the words com ing slowly, one at a time. Driving across the bridge over the Rio Grande, a flash of the old fire came as the carriage passed the central span. Stewart raised in his seat and yelled once more. "I1urrah for Dixie" He choked up. his emotions over came him and as he sank back on the cushion he murmured, Thank God that l am on American soil again."
 This was eight months ago. Ever since that time Mac Stewart has been failing in health. It was largely on the plea that he was dying in confinement that his release was obtained. Even freedom seems unavailing and Stewards end Is near His friends think that 1t is but matter of weeks. And 1t all came from yelling "Hurrah for Dixie that May day in 1895. in the little town of Parral. state of Chi huahua, and Mexican gendarme who did rot understand.

Crows Fight to the Death.

From the New York Herald.
 Two dozen or more persons. including several well-dressed women, watched a battle to a finish between two crows near the obelisk in Central park about ? o'clock yesterday afternoon. The fight ended only at the death of one of the feathered pugilists and held the spec tators intensely interested to the finish.
 The birds flew together into the park and without any prellminaries face - other like trained gamecocks Tn
 began immediately. There were no
 and for fully 20 minutes the contt one that would have satisfied
 With wonderful tenacity and pus sna0..s. and amid a constant nutter Of wings and much shrill cawing, the crows begged and tore at each other with their powerful beaks. In 10 minutes one bird lost It's left eye and almost half of its feathers. but not for an instant did 1t give ground or weaken It's attack. Five minutes after ward its antagonist delivered vicious thrust in the remaining eye. The stab ap- parently reached the brain. for the blind ed bird toppled oyer and turaed it's feet skyward
 Then the victorious crow, which had not come out of the fight unscathed, fiuttered around it's dead opponent for about minute, growing loudly the while. It then flew to the obellsk. winged around 1t sev- eral times and allghted on the very pin naele of the huge stone. From It's lofty perch fl looked toward the body of its erstwhle foe for d few seconds, then emitted three long melancholy caws and turned and flew away passing over tho Museum building

Pics as Draft Animals.

From the New York Times.
 In many countries and even so near as Scotland the pig has served the purpose of beast of draft, and has actually been harnessed to the blow in company with cows and horses. In Scotland also early in the last century pigs were some times made to serve as chargers and proved most docile mounts.
 The homing instinct is strongly devel- oped in the pig Instances not infre- quently occur of pigs finding their way back to farms whence they have beeh conveyed. There is a record of two pigs homing nine miles, and crossing the Thames to boot, to their old farm, whence they had been driven to Reading market and bought by local gentleman on the previous day. At one point on their homeward journey where two roads met the twain were observed putting their noses together as is in deep consultation.
 About 1915 London gentleman created a sensation by driving a four-in-hand Of pigs through the streets, and thirty years later an old farmer caused amusement to a great crowd in the market place at St. Albans by entering it In chaise drawn by four trotting hogs. After two or three turns round the market he drove to the Woolpack yard, where his curious steeds were unharneSSeu ana leu away to pe iS galed with a trough of beans and mash.
 There have also been sporting pigs. An old account of black SOW which Richard Toomer, one of the royal keepers In the New Forest, broke to find game and to back and stand says: Within fortnight she would find and point partridges or rabbits, and her training was much for warded by the abundance of both. She daily improved and in a few weeks would retrieve birds that had run as well as the best pointer; nay. her nose was su- perior to the best pointer"
 According to Linnaeus the hog Is more nice in the selection of his vegetable diet than any of our other domesticated herol- vorous animals Thus in one respect inc pig may be said to be an epicure. Lin- naeus states that the animal will eat only seyenty-two plants, against the goat 8 44s, the sheeps SS7 the cows 27e. and the horses 262

ties. They are still in dreamy state. The best thing in them lies so deep that II has never been awakened When we meet these people we feel conscious that they have a great deal of latent power that has never been exercised. Great pos sibllities of useblness and of achievement are. all unconsciously. going to waste within them
 If you interview the great army of fail ures, you will find multitudes have failed because they never got into a stimulating encouraging environment, because they ambition was never aroused, or because they were not strong enough to rally un- der depressing, discouraging, or vicious surroundings. Most of the people we find in prisons and poor houses are pitiable examples of the influence of an environ ment which appealed to the worst instead of the best in them.

 zinep
 Many people seem to think that ambi- ton is a quality born with us; that it is not susceptible to improvement; that it Is something thrust upon us that will take care of itself. But it is passion that re- spends very quickly to cultivation and 1t requires constant care and education. just as the faculty for music or art does, or it will atrophy.
 If we do not try to realize our ambi- ton, 1t will not keep sharp and defined. Our faculties become dull and soon lose their power If they are not exercised. How can. we expect our ambition to remain fresh and vigorous through years of in- activity, indolence, Or indifference? If we keep letting opportunities slip by us with out making any attempt to grasp them, our inclination will grow duller and weaker What I most need" as Emerson says.

Gem Deposits In California.
Oliver shedd fin LesIle's Weekly,

oliver Shedd in Leslie's Weekly)
 It was only recently that San Diego county, California, awoke to the realiza- ton of the fact that 1t is one of the great gem spots of the world. For years the Indians. who led lazy. listless life among the hills and valleys of this semi-tropic section, have adorned themselves with jewels of rare beauty. Many of these In- dians still remain, and some of them are to-day the best gem miners in the region. Indeed a substantial slice of San Diego county is set apart as the reservation for the Mesa Grande tribe, which has always had its abidlngplace among the gem hills.
 But the white men who came into the county paid little heed to the jewels of the natives The newcomers were ranehmen, gold miners. or fruit growers. One of the latter located some of his vineyards among the mountains which are now be- ing tunneled for gems His daughters wore earrings and finger rings made from beautiful specimens of tournaHnes. which they found In the broken rock at the hiu

The Smallest Watch.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
 There are plenty of small watches in the world. and many ladies wear them, with faces no larger than silver dime, Tn their bracelets. But Earl W. Eckel. who was found encamped at Eighteenth and Market streets when that region was first discovered, and has been Identified with the neishborhood ever since. has the smallest affair yet He wears 1t as a lapel button.
 The face of this tiny watch is much smaller than q dime. The back of IL. which is about as large as 5-cent piece, contains the works It is a splendid 1ittle tiinekeeper and ticks away the hours without making any fuss about H.
 IL Is. says Earl. the greatest bore dis eoiuager in tho world. The novelty Of 1t directs attention to 1t. and no one can impose upon its wearer aad forget the flight of time 1t stares him in the face and conveys hints that ara unrl is:shaais~ and which he meekfy needs.
 Eckel picked it up in his travels. and has never seen another like it. The little watch was made In Switzerland. and is . remarkably fine piece of work.
