When the Oregon left Hongkong re.
Gently, after her long period of service
on the Asiatic station, she was flying a
homeward-bound pennant over 500 feet
in length. 1t was necessary to support
this long streamer by two small bal
looms tied to the end to keep it out Of
the water. The pennant was made of
silk thread and attracted much atten-
ton in the Asiatic port.
In the old days it was the custom to
have foot of pennant for every day of
the cruise. That of the Oregon is prob
ably one of the longest displayed from
the mast Of a homecoming ship, al
though it is on record that the old
Brooklyn, on one occasion upon her ar
rival in New York, displayed a pennant
700 feet long.

THE FIGHTING INSTINCT.
Story of Desperate Hand to Hand
Encounter Against Heavy Odds.


Now and then among the brutal.
ties and crimes that form the chief
subjects of daily journalism in this
country, there comes an item that
not only appeals to our morbid nature
but gets in close to the primal love
OF fight which springs eternal in the
human animal. Most of us have no
feeling except Of loathing in the case
Of the secret assassination Of six Ital-
ians in Minneapolis, because their
modes of fight are Latin in a country
of Anglo-Saxon prejudices. But Just
a week before, the press dispatches
from Bristol, Tennessee, told of the
sudden demise of seven Italians who
with others had conspired to murder
their section foreman, because he was
a "hard boss" Doubtless he was!
Nevertheless, the old fighting blood
tingles at the bare account of the bat
tie that the foreman, Haverly, whose
name suggests his nationality, waged
single-handed against the body of la
borers that rushed" him. Had he
been armed with a revolver, he would
have no sympathy, but he depended on
the first weapon at hand-a crowbar.
Backed against an embankment, he
withstood the combined attack of the
entire gang Of laborers, all bent on his
murder, and armed, against him, with
picks, axes, and spades, in addition
to their knives. Repugnant as the idea
of killing may be, one can scarcely
help thrill at the thought of the fore
man, Haverly, at bay like knight of
former days, fighting for his life, and
so sturdily and valiantly laying about
him, weapon for weapon, steel against
steel, until he stretched seven of his
assailants dead before him and routed
the rest. Haverly may be brute and
a bully; he may have deserved what
the laborers, rising like desperate
slaves against a tyrant, had in store
for him, Yet, somehow, that is hard to
believe because the innate love for
combat in our nature challenges adj
miration for man who displays des-
perate courage and physical prowess.

close to the ranch, and we were spurred
on to another hunt.
1t opened much like the last. Late in
the afternoon we sighted a gray fellow
with tail up, not half mile off. AS we
rose to the upland and sighted the chase
half a mile off, Dander, the greyhound,
came up with the Wolf and snapped at
his haunch. The Gray wolf turned round
to fight, and we had a fine view. The
Dogs came up by two and threes, barking
at him in a ring, till last, Snap, the
little white one rushed up. He wasted
no time barking, but rushed straight at
the VOLTS throat and missed 1t, yet
seemed to get him by the nose; then the
ten big Dogs closed in, and In two minutes
the wolf was dead. Snap had lived I'D
to my promises for him.
Now 1t was my turn to crow, and did
not lose the chance. Snap had shown
them how, and at last the Mendoza
pack had killed a Gray-wolf without help
from the men.
There were two things to mar the
victory somewhat; FIRST 1t was a young
Wolf, q mere Cub; second, Snap was
wounded-.the Wolf had given him bad

now that it was not safe to NEEDLE with

Little CannibaIs.

Every once in a while we hear of
breeders complaining of the cannibal-
istic habits among growing fowls. espe,
cially among those still in the days of
their early babyhood This pernicious
habit, when once the young birds be-
come thoroughly addicted to it, is rath-
er difficult to control and suppress,
Usually it finds its chief expression in
fiocks confined to close quarters, where
the ground is bare and the feed is
wanting in animal matter. Bird life
under natural conditions finds oppor-
tunity for work and play in the hunt
ing of insects for food and in the care
full selection Of such vegetable mat
ter as its system may demand. Young
chicks, when confined, are obviously
deprived of these opportunities for a
healthful exercise; the result is that
they become idle, which engenders
vicious habits and a craving for some
thing to do as well as for animal food.
When in this condition if a member
of the little flock shows a wound or
effects of blood the chances are that
one or two win at once commence to
peck at it, which leads the others on,
and soon the whole flock will be rend-
ing the little one into shreds, devour-
ing it before one has opportunity to re-
lieve its misery or to isolate it from
the flock. The remedy, of course, is
obvious, namely, afford the young
chicks wider range and be more care
full in your feeding by making it a
point to keep them busy by throwing
the food into litter or suspending
head of lettuce or cabbage where they
can peck at it, also supply in one form
or another animal food. A good way
to do this is to take the underground
chick feeds, which of them
selves are balanced ration, and scat
ter the same in a litter of chopped
straw or hay, about one and one-half
or two inches deep. In fact, anything
that will make litter may be consid-
cred available.

The American speaks of his Tuxedo
suit and his dress suit. The English
man talks of his evening clothes, and
would as soon think of changing his
trousers to match his smoking Jacket,
as Of changing his studs and tie to
accord with his Tuxedo.
While the vast majority of men buy
their clothes ready" or "semi-ready"
made, most men regard with envy the
one who has time and money to have
his clothes made and fitted. The En-
glishman of means considers it his
duty to have his clothes made by the
very best tailors and to wear them as
badly as possible. AS he can rarely
remain long at time within his own

the world when they need new
clothes. These measurements are a
valuable asset and insurance on them

AS a matter of fact, the best dressed
man in the world is neither the New
Yorker nor the Londoner, but the man
who gets his frock coat, cutaway and
evening clothes from the Bond Street
tailors, who have made these styles
OF masculine dress for centuries, and
his sack suits and overcoats from
Fifth Avenue, where one might say
they were invented.

And as the ten big Dogs were leaning

In England they talk a lot of what
seems awful rot to this side of the

Yet some West End tailoring estab-
lishments in London depend for their
very existence on American trade, not
alone the trade Of Americans travel

which entails making on measure

tant is this business that cable code

a complete catalog and full directions

cable his order to London, and feel

PERHS IN COLD STORAGE.
Frozen Bacteria Actlve-C Government
to Make Experiments.

The Agricultural Department is fol-
lowing up a line of scientific investiga.
ton of the effect upon perishable goods
in cold storage for an unlimited time
and DR.. Wiley believes that he will de
yelop the fact that legislation is needed
fixing the period for which such ar
ticles as meats and milks may be
stored.
In one of the Philadelphia cold
storage houses space has been set aside
for the ex. eriments and a like arrange
ment has been made in Washington for
storing birds and milk.
The stored articles will be taken oit
from time TO time and examined to as
certain whether or not deterioration
has begun, and at what period the
point has been reached when the ar.
ticles can be no longer stored and re.
main good food.
1t already has been demonstrated
DR.. Wiley says, that the bacteria that
occasion decay remain In the meat
while frozen, and that they actually
carry on their work, although at a
greatly reduced rate.
III OuS VI the COlu storage plants in
Cleveland some meat was recently
found which had been mislaid and for
gotten for a period of eleven years It
was sent to the department and a por
ton thawed out and examined.
Decay had gone on to such an extent
that the meat was entirely an for
use. The greater portion of it. was
again placed in storage and the obser-
walton will be continued The fact that
the meat, having been frozen for eleven
years, was in a condition of decay is
held to conclusively prove that the
bacteria can work in the meat while
frozen. The object of the investigation
is to ascertain at what point the decay
has progressed to such an extent as to
injure the food value of the article
stored.
There is at present no law prohibit
ing the storage of any article for any
length of time. The only law upon the
subject is one that requires fowls to be
drawn before they are placed in stor.

New Clothes for Easter

The flowers with which many church
es are ornamented on Easter Day are
most probably emblems of the Resur-
rection. There are people today who
think that unless something new is
worn on Easter Day no good fortune

The Dorsetshire poet, Barnes, gives us

That's nothing" said the American.
my two friends, Johnson and Jones,
were once having an argument. There
were eight or nine inches of snow on
the ground. The argument got heated,
and Johnson picked up a SNOWFALL and
threw it at Jones fram a distance Of
not more than five yards. During the
transit of that SNOWFALL, sir, believe
me or not, as you like, the weather
suddenly changed and became hot and
summer-like, and Jones, instead of be-
ing hit with a SNOWFALL, was-er-
scalded with hot water!"
