neighbors when they came into the
yard, with Hello" One day Jerry
few up on to box where some kittens
were sleeping; it frightened the
kittens, and they Kissed and spit at
him; that SURPRISED him so he called
out "Hello-lo-lo!" He was very fond
of picking out choice bits from the
cats dinner plate. The old cat would
strike him in the face. He would step
back and wait until the old cat began
to eat, then walk around the dish,
catch the tip of the old cats tail and
pinch it wickedly. The cat, Of course,
would jump and spit; then Jerry would
cry out: ''Ha, ha, hal" as If laugh
ing. When called he would come to us,
alight on our hand II held out or on
our head. He liked to be praised; If
we asked him to sing and begin to
run the scale, he would try to sing,
and swell out his throat, laughable
sight, his voice about musical as a
Plymouth Rock hens.
Jerry delighted in teasing the dog;
II he found the dog asleep he would
creep up and pull his tail; after try
ing two or three times, IL this didn't
wake him, he would give the dogs
Ioenail a good pull; that usually
brought the old dog up with snap.
Then Jerry would laugh. When the
men were shingling he was very much
interested in chalk line, nails, ETC.; If
you tried to catch him he would just
step out Of your way, while II you
coaxed him or flattered him would
bring them back. He though It great
fun to take a side comb from lady's
hair and fly to the top Of the barn,
yet IL you coaxed him would bring It
Gown to you. He went to the village
one and a half miles away, with the
children to school at eight a. M, COM
ing back at about IL a M; after
awhile perhaps he would be gone over
night. When about a year old he for
got to come home. The children say
they saw him visiting with another
crow in treetop. We have heard Of
him since about three miles from
home, playing with other children.

sacrificed his life. When he made his
ascent Tuesday afternoon he took the
risk of being blown out to sea to
prove a theory that at shutdown the
wind would change and drive his bal
loon back to land. Close searching OF
the ground where the balloon was
found and the path travelled by Noe
quet shows this is what occurred.
The balloon landed on a sand bar,
In hollow caused by dunes. In the
darkness these dunes screened the
light Of the life saving station to which
he might easily have made his way,
About a mile away and easily access
ible were four summer cottages, but
the dunes effectively hid what light
may have been burning in these.
Tracks on the sand around the bal
loon show plainly that Nocquet be-
came demoralized when he leaped
from the car of his balloon. Foot
prints on the sand show that he ran
frantically about looking for way to
escape. Here and there are evidences
that he scooped up handfuls Of sand
apparently to discover whether 1t was
wet or dry. From this 1t is evident
that he feared he had landed on a
sandbar which the incoming tide
might cover.
In his terror, his footprints show
that he ran farther and farther from
his balloon, tearing up the sand with
his hands as he went along. Then,
finally, the footprints indicate that he
started OF In a northeasterly direc'
ton, directly away, almost, from the
life saving station.
The deep footprints In the sand
show that he ran swiftly along In the
darkness, driven by terror that the
tide might trap him, Why he started
OF in a northeasterly direction is ex
planned by the fact that away on In
that direction he could see lights dick
ering on the mainland.
His desperate struggle ACROSS the
morass could plainly be followed BY
the footprints in the sand. Where he
plunged into the runlets and scram
bled out on the other side is plainly
discernible. Here and there the foot
prints wander away, zigzagglng aim
iessly over stretches of sand. but al

these the footprints stop, so back
and circle waveringly as though b

his strength. After a mile the foot
prints became fainter. Impressions in
the sand show that he lay down in an
agony Of despair to rest. Later his
strength gave out. He crawled over
the dunes. Sometimes walking, some.
times creeping along on hands and
knees he struggled along through the
darkness, drawn on by the lights on
the mainland.
Then in the marsh near which he
died his footprints are lost. For half
a mile could be found to-day only faint
traces Of his struggle onward.
His body was found on the landward
side of one of the runlets that split
up the treacherous ground between
mainland and ocean. 1t was the tenth
creek he had crossed in his attempt to
reach the lights. His strength had
lasted just long enough to carry him
across the creek. Then he had fallen
face downward as he stepped from the
water. And there he died.
Strapped around him was the life
preserver he had carried in his bal.
loon On the other side of the creek
lay his overcoat. His strength was
gone when he reached this creek, and
he had discarded his heavy coat, un.
able to carry it across. The creek is
only few feet wide but deep, but
the effort to cross it Slapped the last OF
the young aeronaut's strength.
From the spot where the balloon
| landed him to where his body was
found, as he Travelled, stumbling
blindly across islands, plunging
through swamps, and fording creelA
in the darkness, is just less than two
miles. How long he took, with the
Lights on the mainland ever dancing
before his eyes and Turing him on, can
only be guessed.

A LITTLE WoRD-HUNT.
How Mother Helped the Children to
Pass the Time Until Tea
Was Ready.

20, dear, what shall we do?" said
Dick at dusk. Tea time was half an
hour off and the children were sitting
around the fire.
Let's have word-hunt," said
mother. i've Just been reading about
the queer ways some common names
start Where do you suppose the word
army comes from?"
Give it right up" said little Billee,
promptly. The rest laughed, but they
had to give it up, too.
at comes from a French WORD
meaning to be armed" said mother
And where do you suppose that bri-
gade' comes from? 1t comes from the
Italian 'brigata,' meaning a company
or a horde, and the word 'brigand' has
the same source. And the word milf
tary' itself comes from the cid Roman,
for the miles meant the men who had
to supply a thousand men each for the
army"
Where does soldier come from?"
asked Sam.
From 'solidus,' an ancient coin with
which the fighting men were paid. 1T
dates back to the time when all wSr-
riors were hired for the work. ThA>
word artillery goes away back to the
Latin 'arcus,' meaning bow and 'arcu-
balista,' which was a word coined in
the Middle Ages as a name for the
crossbow. The projectiles known as
'shrapneP are named after the British
General Shrapnel. Pistol has queer
history. Long ago the village Of Pts
toja, in Italy, was famous for making
daggers. When the pistol was invent
ed, it became known at first as fist
gum and then the name of the dag
ger 'pistoja' was given to 1t. The bay
onet got its name from the French
town Of Bayonne."
Just then the tea bell rang.

who expects to be soldier some day,

Restores vigor In Old Age

Mrs. Eliza Scheirer,who
lives at Macungie, Pa,
and who has passed a
very strenuous life, found
at the age of 70 some
of the old time vigor
and energy lacking. She
felt that she needed
something to give her
strength in her declining
years. For over a year
she he has used Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey as a
tonic-medicine and has
found in it the very thing
needed for one at her
time of life.
She writes the follow
ing and cordially recon-
mends Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey to both young
and old:
81 would say that am now in my sew
enty-sixth year. Have always lived an

as restorative, and can heartily recon-
mend it as very valuable preservative for

THE CANON OF THE GRAND
NATURE'S:cHEF D'OUVRE.

On the main line of the Denver
& Rio Grande Railroad. east of
Glenwood Springs. Colorado, lies
one of the most beautiful and in
spring scenic attractions4in the
world, the Canon of the Grand
River.
On emerging from a tunnel.
the canon in all its grandeur sud
denly opens before us, and for
twenty miles the ride is one con-
tinuous panorama, colored and
blended as only nature can.
As the scroll unrolls with the
bends of the river, each new
wall, column andsspire' seems to
rise heavenward higher, and
each new picture rivals in, beauty
and coloring the one just passed.
The general effect is a com
mingling of ancient Egyptian
art and architecture, with that
of medieval and modern times;
| for here are suggestions of the
Sphinx, obelisk andLpyramid,
there, the bastions, buttresses,
walls, towers and turrets of the
baronial castle, while those tow
ering blocks of sandstone and
granite remind us of the1modern
sky scraper.
Wonderful and beautiful is the
verdict of all who see it. Write

FURNISH DRINKING WATER.

New Orleans. June l1--Arrange- ments to carry drinking water by train load from New Orleans to Milneberg, about ten miles from here on Lake Pontchartrain. were made today in re- sponse to an appeal from the 200 in- habitants of that place.
 The water famine is in part due to the prolonged hot wave from which New Orleans and vicinity has been suf- fering for a week, although it has caused no deaths yet.
 For three months there has been lit- tie rainfall here and the heat hastened the rapid diminution of the water sup ply in cisterns from which the drink ing supply both of Milneberg and of thousands of families of the poor in New Orleans is taken.
