TAcTFUL QUAKER.-Some time age
there lived a gentleman of indolent
habits who spent his time visiting
among his friends. After wearing out
his welcome in his own neighborhoo6
he thought he would visit an ole
Quaker friend some twenty miles dis
tant.
On his arrival he was cordially re-
ceived by the Quaker, who, thinking
the visitor had taken much pains to
come so far to see him, treated him
with great deal Of attention and po-
liteness for several days.
AS the visitor showed no signs OF
leaving, the Quaker became uneasy
but bore it with patience until the
eighth day, when he said to him:
My friend I am afraid thee will
never come again"
"Oh, yes I shall,'' said the visitor
II have enjoyed my visit very much
and shall certainly come again"
But" said the Quaker, IF thee will
never leave how can thee come again.

He Spoke Too Late.

Mr.. Cupples, the milkman, owned
pastures all over town. When one did
not know who was the owner OF q
field, 1t was always safe to assume that
Jim Cupples owned it.
One summer a large bull appeared In
the field which the cottagers had tc
cross on their way to the station
There was much indignation and some
querulous inquiry as to the right OF
Cupples to keep his bull there.
II guess he's got right enough" said
the station agent. His folks have
owned that piece clear to the lake
since before he was born"
The bull remained. The cottagers
kept an alert eye on him and crossed
the field on a run. One day he made
after one of the cottagers. The gen.
tleman's coat tails streamed horizontal
and a confusion Of arms and legs
scrambled over a rail fence.
That evening an angry complainant
appeared in the Cupples' barn.
Your bull chased me across that
field this morning"
Did he? Well, l am sorry. Hurt
we much?"
See here, I've come to tell you that
you ought to take that bull out Of the
field"
ITS my field, likewise my bull"
81 guess you don't know who I am"
well, no: dunno's 1 do"
'I am the mayor Of Scarboro and
president of the Scarboro and Taitville
railroad"
BE ye?" asked Jim, respectfully.
"Well, why didn't ye tell that to the
bull?'-Youth's Companion.

NAPoLEoN's ESCAPE.
Reckless of Danger, the Great Soldier
Was Often Wounded.


In reply to the question in what en-
gagements he considered himself to
have been in the greatest danger Of
losing his life Napoleon once said, I'm
the commencement Of my campaigns"
Indeed, If further proof were de-
manded to show that he did not spare
himself at Toulon 1t Is only necessary
to add that during the ten weeks Of
Its siege Napoleon, in addition to a
bayonet wound in his thigh, had three
horses shot under him? While at the
siege Of Acre during the expedition to
Egypt he lost no fewer than four in
the same manner.
During the last days Of his life,
when captivity, disappointment and
sickness had we'll nigh completed
their work, 1t is said that the agony
Of his fatal disease drew from him
on many occasions the pitiful cry Of,
"Why did the cannon balls spare
me?"
During his long military career Ma
poleon fought sixty battles, while
Caesar fought but fifty. In the early
part Of his career he was utterly
reckless of danger while on the bat
tlefield, and this spirit of fearlessness
contributed largely to the love and
esteem in which he was held by his
armies. There was a curious belief
among the English In Napoleon's
time that he had never been wound
ed, and indeed the report was current
that he carefully II not In a cowardly
manner refrained from exposing him.
ry to the truth, for he was in reality
several times severely wounded, but
as he wished to impress upon his
troops that good fortune never de-
serted him and that. like Achilles, he
was we'll nigh invulnerable. he al
ways made a secret of his many dan
gers. He therefore enjoined once for
all upon the part of his immediate
staff the most absolute silence re-
garding all circumstances Of this ma
ture, for 1t is almost impossible to
calculate the confusion which would
have resulted from the slightest re-
port or the smallest doubt relative
to his existence. Upon the single
thread of his mans life depended
not only the fate Of the government
Of graf empire, but the whole pol
icy and destiny Of Europe as we'll.

UNDER THE SEAT.-John G. Woolly
used to tell this story: Two drummers
one an old and we'll seasoned knight OF
the road, the other young, fresh and
green, on his first trip, were seated
together on the train.
The young one went to sleep. The
old one stole his ticket and put it in
his vest pocket. Presently, when he
saw the conductor coming, he woke up
the verdant one and said:
Here comes the conductor; get your
ticket out"
Yes"
Then began the search for the ticket
through his clothes, in his valises, un-
der the seat, back Of the seat, behind
the seat. Finally he gave it up with a
groan.
What shall I do?"
You are little fellow" said the
ancient, get under the seat"
He did so.

A KEEN EYED ENGINEER.-An old
engineer in the north of England was
getting his sight tested by a doctor
who lived in a house facing a large
park The doctor used to say to his
patients, Look over there and tell me
what you can see" When the engin-
eer learned that his sight was to be
tested he arranged with his son to take
his bicycle half a mile into the park
and be oiling 1t. In due time the old
man was led to the window, the doc
tor saying as usual:
What do you see?"
The old man, peering out. said, 81
see young man STOPPING beside his
bicycle"
DO you?" said the doctor. Il don't
see anything at all"
Nonsense" said the engineer. Why
he is oiling it,"
The doctor took up a pair of field
glasses and plainly saw the same.
Magnificent sight" he said
The engineer is still drawing his
wages.-London Telegraph.

only progressive body of native inhabitants

more than sufficient money to satisfy inn

ture OF Spanish or Chinese blood.
DR.. jerks stated that he could see no
hope for the present generation of the
Moro race. They are cruel, lying thieving
ing assimilated with the western ciyilIza-
ton. He predicted that under the care and
training of the American teachers and mis-
sionaries, the next generation will be bet

THE PLEASURE CRAFT.
Owners Getting Ready for the Spring
and Summer

The large Eastern Shore canoe which Mr..
g. F. Neitzey brought to this city last fall
from the eastern shore of Virginia, is lying
in the boat house at the foot of 18th street
and Is to be equipped with a power engine
and converted into a pleasure craft for use
on the river during the coming summer.
The canoe has been stripped of spars and
sails, center board well and everything,
leaving only the bare hull. A roomy cabin,
with sleeping accommodations for about
four persons, is to be built on the beat,
and a 1O-horse power gasoline engine VIII
be placed In her. The boat when she goes
overheard will be named Ella n. In honor
of Mr.. Neitzey's wife. The little craft is
expected to develop high speed and will, IL

service on the river.
Capt. J. +. Corners has his little power

ing, in preparation for the coming season

ice for several weeks, her owner using her
for fishing trips on the river. She was out
yesterday In the heavy south gale, and IN
coming around from the Long bridge the
Georgetown channel was so rough that the
occupants of the little craft were thorough
ly drenched by the water from the seas
breaking over her and washing iii upon
them. She made good time IN spite of the
heavy weather and arrived at Eeagaus in
safety.
The sailing sloop Culprit Fay owned by
Capt. Herbert Evans is also at Reagan s

NATIONALS SECURED
GOOD PRACTICE

The Nationals. led on by the veteran
Cross. Were a American League park as
early as 8 O'Clock this morning, and they
worked until IL. when they were driven to
cover by the groundkeeper, who is anxious
to get the field in first-class shape as early
as possible. There were full 300 fans on
hand TO look the boys over and it was the
unanimous opinion of the crowd that the
new men are strictly all right.
OTTO Williams had his first good workout
of the season. and when he trudged to the
club house at the close OF practice he was
almost all in. He is an unusually fast man
on his feet and although he guarded his
arm carefully. he demonstrated that he is
an exceptionally gool infelder. and will
make the other boys do their best to keep
him Off the regular lineup.
Smith was on first, Schalfly on second Will
Hams at short and Cross on third with
Rapp behind the bat. This outfit worked
almost like a machine, Cross acting as a.
pacemaker. and the crowd frequently an
plauded the clever stops and accurate
throwing. Schalhy worked with Williams
