Surprising a Fireman.

E. Church, fireman Of Engine Company
No. 6, Los Angeles, was asreeably surprised
one morning recently. when, with his COM
pany, he made a hurried dash to his own
residence in response to supposed alarm
of fire, only to learn that neighbors had at
tempted to notify him that he had just be-
come the father Of an eight-pound baby.
The telephone message had been misunder-

by the groom's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. d.
Burdette Of Lafayette, Ind, Young Burdette
and Miss Bryan were members Of the cast
in the play Browning the Prince" which
was presented by young people at Bethany
park.
Between acts and while waiting their cue
Burdette and Miss Bryan spent the time in
making love behind the scenes. At a GER
tain part of the play neither one of them
had TO appear for some time. so the couple
selected this period as a very opportune
time for slipping away and getting married.
This they did without going out of the park
and while the performance was still going
on. No one ever guessed their secret until
the announcement was made by Burdette's
parents Burdette is an evangelistic singer
and he and his bride will live in Chicago.

An Ancient Tortofre.

A living creature that has trod the earth,
however sluggishly, since the days OF the
Spanish Armada, is an object of no COM
mon degree OF interest Such a creature
has just passed away peacefully In Lon
don in the person of Drake. a venerable
tortoise of the Geological Gardens, sup
posed to be nearly 400 years old.
The tortoise was captured in the Galapa-
gos islands toward the end of the eigh-
teenth century, says the Literary Digest.
At this time the scanty inhabitants OF this
wild archipelago regarded him as a bicente-
marian, relying on a date cut into his she'll
with a knife, which though half effaced,
appeared 20 begin with a IS. From this It
was inferred that he had been first cap
tured in the seventeenth century by some
of the hardy English or French pirates
who were then disputing the passage Of
the Spanish galleons between Mexico and
the Philippines, and who made the Galapa-
gos their rendezvous. One OF these fill
busters, in a vein Of pleasantly. or per-
haps to furnish data for the benefit of
future naturalist, may have cut on the
prisoners back the date Of his capture and
then set him at liberty. Perhaps he even
added his name, which has been ob1iterated
by the growth OF the shell.
From this vague date undoubtedly comes
the name OF the tortoise, Drake, from
the famous chief of the buccaneers, Sir
Francis Drake. the illustrious and SAN
culinary sea rover of the new world.
The tortoise was not brought to England
till eighty-five years ago After several
changes of ownership he finally found COM
Portable quarters for his old age In an
Enclosure of the garden at Regents park.
II we are to credit these facts, then. cal
culating that at the epoch of his first cap
ture Drake was 80 years old-the infancy
of these reptiles-we see that the defunct
may have lived over three centuries

Many of the inmates of the asylum, work quite
regularly, but always need the supervision OF an
attendant. Few of the inmates of the Home are
able to do any work. The general health has
been reasonably good, but this part of the con-

visiting physician, he will report to you there
on, and of the deaths during the year.

appropriation of 1000 dollars completed the
building. The Hospital had to be furnished
inside, the trustees expended out of their own
fund the amount of about 200 dollars for that
purpose The health of the inmates of both in
situations has been very good, and the financial
part is in excellent condition. TO Supt Dyer and
