heelS OF the three soldiers above
named, but it was also the property
OF the immortal Custer and was fss.
tened about his right ankle when he
was killed by tho Red Mon of the
West.
| The story of how the spur came
from the hills .of the far-away Mont
ezumas to the library of Roanoke
home-how it travelled from the heel
OF Mexico's warrior, Santa Anna. to
the heel Of CuHtel, the dare devil In.
dian fighter, of how it fell into the
possession of Gen. Huger and his son,
Col. Huger--is as follows: ..,.
! After the stubborn Santa Anna had
surrendered the City of Mexico to
den. Winfield SCOTT he presented to
the American commander the pair of
handsome spurs which he had worn
throughout the struggle. Gen SCOTT
In turn presented the spurs to his
chief Of ordnance, Gen.. Benjamin
Huger of South Carolins, father Of
the late Col. Frank Huger, and he
years afterward gave them to his son.
| Col. Frank. Huger was q student at
West Point Military Academy from
south Carolina at the time young
Custer was attending that institution,
and the two young men became fast
friends: When the var divided the
Northand the South the dashipg Hu-
ger enlisted in the Confederate ser
vice, while the ssalwart Custer osst
his lot with the federal forces. The
historic spurs, which had many years
previous to the outbreak at Fort Sum.

hiO son, were carried by the latter. in
to the War Between the Sections and

the battle Of Sailors creek, not long
before Appomattox, he was captured
BY the Yankee forces, commanded By

Custer. That night the two soldiers

The army and navy Of Turkey are
not regarded with much respect by the

At Salonika guard-ship, fairly
modern looking small cruiser, lies year
In and year out peacefully at anchor IN
the bay. One day an order came to
the commander to put to sea. and the
CONSERVATION of that gallant officer was
great, because no screw steamer can
move without a shaft. and the shaft OF
this cruiser had been sold some time be
fore.
But he was man of resource, and
had a shaft made OF wood, which he
hoped would break as soon as 1t was
put to use. The shaft held. unexpect.
edly, and as the cruiser slowly steam

sank, for he did not care to 60 to sea
with shaft that must break sooner or
later. So he sent below. and had the
shaft sawn halfway through. A little
extra steam, the shaft broke, and the
guard-ship was towed back disabled"

professor seize the bar of his trapeze

"You had better descend few thou

head, then sliding from his perch on the
edge Of the car he was gone.

breathe so hard that the exercise was
painful. My head grew light as still
assembled. The cold was 80 intense that
my lips cracked, and the air so light
that they bled freely. Soon my nose be-
gan to bleed. l was too weak now to
think of descending by the parachute.
1t was as much as l could do to stand.
Suddenly my fingers clutched some
thing. l pulled it toward me, and a
moment later felt that the balloon was
descending. Pretty soon full conscious
ness returned to me, and realized that

locity Of the descent. and again turned

and the trapeze was now swinging a
dozen feet away. The only way for
me to reach it was to jump for 1t, and
this did not feel disposed to do. Still,
we were descending rapidly, and as the
car dashed down through the clouds

the under current and driving toward

trapeze now or run the risk Of being
drowned. Thousands of times In the
circus had taken such leaps, but now

death. But there was no time to hest

out into space. My hand clutched the
bar and in an instant was descending
with terrible velocity.
l was certain that the parachute
would never open, but 1t did, and a
thousand feet above the earth INV

great awning above swayed from side

We have reform schools for way

best they can. But If there could be
reform schools for parents there would
be little or no need of reform schools
for children. Delinquent parents are
to blame for delinquent children-in
nine cases out Of ten. If parents would
do their duty, II they could be forced
by state, church, society, press, public
opinion or the whips and scorns of the

the children they have brought into the
world-then there would be no need of
the State reform school. The parents
would keep that school. It's course of

business.

Few men In America have had more
newspaper space devoted to them dur
ing the last forty years than the late
Russell Sage, and yet there are prob
ably few men about whose real charac-
ter the public knew less. His great
wealth naturally made him prominent
In the business world, but the things
mostly with his idiosyncrasies-or
rather with the one idiosyncrasy which
made him an unusual and picturesque
character among American millionaires,
namely, his excessive personal economy.
Anecdotes Of his extraordinarily cheap
luncheons, or of his anxiety to save
penny whenever 1t was possible, never
failed to excite amusement, not to say
ridicule. 1t may readily be granted
that Mr.. Sage's outward life had in 1t
little to appeal to popular sympathy
or affection; yet there was much In 1t
to appeal to common sense. His indie
pendence Of public opinion, the sim
plicity of life led amid much sense
less and disgusting ostentation, his busi-
ness problty and foresight, his religious
constancy and the purity Of his domes-
tic life, are all facts upon which young
men may ponder with profit. More
over, no man can be judged with abso-
lutte justice by his fellows, least Of all,
one who lived SO reserved and self
contained life as Mr.. Sage.
