The CoIOneI's Kid


tcopyrignt. 1906. by Mcclure. Phillips g. Col
Among the batch Of forty recruits re-
ceiyed at Fort Blank one day from
jefferson Barracks was one who at
tracted attention Immediately from his
superior looks and bearing He had
an aristocratic face, d good figure, and
it was evident at q glance that he did
not belong among that crowd. Private
Harker had not been in the barracks
an hour when 1t had been determined
from colonel to corporal that he was
a man who must be disciplined.
Colonel Banks had lost his wife two
years before, but he had not sent his
little daughter Edith east among rela-
tives, rs 1t had been supposed he would
do she was d handsome, sunny haired
child of ten. and he chung to her and
had an. aunt come out and act as bis
housekeeper aud mother TO the moth

Of her She was referred TO affection
ately as the coionels kid
The coloners kid stood holding her
fathers hand when the recruits lined
up for roll call Her eyes royed along
the line until they rested on Harker,
and there they paused. There was that
In his face that attracted her, and she
secretly determined to be friends with
him. He saw her from his place In
the ranks, and his face softened. He
dared not smile at her, but more friend
Illness came into his heart than had
been there for many day. The next
day. and the next. and the next, he saw
her from distance while he was be
ing drilled On the fourth day, while
he was doing sentry duty at the flag
staff, she came walking up to him and
held out her hand and said:

Private Harker's face was all smiles

that he liked her la return and that

who looked almost Ike her. Ten

THE SAN JOSE SCALE
A MENACE TO ORCHARDS
Has Already Obtained Foothold in
acknowledgements Proctor
to investigate.

Burlington, jan. 7.--Governor Proc
tor viii soon take steps in investigate
the matter Of the determination of the
dread San Jose scale which has already
obtained foothold in Vermont and
orchards Of the state unless something
is done speedily According to the pro
visions of the law passed by the last
general assembly the governor is given
power to act in the matter and to draw
on the treasurer of the state for the
necessary amount to defray expenses.
The Governor it is expected win consult
with Prof. William Stuart of this city
who il leading horticultuTist and sec
rotary of the state society before def
mite action is taken as Prof Stuart dis
covered the prevalence of the scale and
made an exhaustive report upon it be-
fore the convention of the Horticultural
society here a few weeks ago. Prof.
Stuart believes that nothing short Of
the most stringent measures win do to
eradicate the scaIe which has has been
found in the towns Of Charlotte and
North Hero, several orchards being in
vested, one orchard owned by Charles
Emerson Of Boston, in Charlotte being
nearly ruined by the scale.
One female scale is capable of pro-
dltcing no less than three billions Of
progeny in a single year, large per
cent Of which survive even the rigors of
Vermont winter. It is expected that
some action will be taken before spring
towards exterminating the pest.

Some Costs Of Running Hotel.

It is stated, on excellent authority,
that the manager of the Waldorf
Astoria must receive in cash over s1o,-
600 daily before he can look for a cent
profit.
During the first year of the existence
of the st. Regis, John Jacob Astor's
Fifth Avenue hotel, no less than 100000
were spent for cut flowers alone. Even
this huge sum is outdone by the florist
bill of the Hotel Aston, which, by reason
OF its countless banquets expends about
100000 annually for these fragrant but
fragile decorations.
At the st. Regis some of the expen-
ditures for everyday articles of food
tax the imagination and strain credulity.
For instance, the butter costs S57, 900 a
year--more than the salary Of the Pres
ident Of the United States; the egg bill
is $4,000; vegetables, $4,000; fruit,
$4,000; poultry, $4,000; and meats,
5000 900. 1t should be borne in mind
that the St. Regis is not the largest Of
modern hotels in New York. and hence
its commissariat department is by no
means the most notable from a anan.
cial standpoint.
George w. Bo1dt, manager of the
Waldorf Astoria, paid, in single year,
$4,000 to replace the broken china,
croclIery,, etc, and it is stated THAT,
on friend commenting on the magni.
tude of this sum, he replied that he
did not think that his employees were
so very, very careless, after all.--Remsen

his second sentence, she defended him

friendships in an hour, but their judg
ment is not ms good as the intuition Of

Private Harker, and they argued In

He was in angry mood when he re-
eeived the recruits There was nothing
he could do officially, and yet he would
not talk as man to man.

sorry to hear bad reports Of you. II

end? You may be above the common
run, sir. but let me tell you that you
can put on no airs here. If l catch
you tripping again, shall put you
down as a trouble maker and act ac-
cordingly. Go to your quarters, sir"

Fish ozt ~ water.

1t is we'll known. says knowledge
that certain kinds OF fishes are able to
live out OF water much longer than
others. the power being dependent
upon the length OF time that their gills
are capable Of remaining damp. SO
long as this condition lasts FISH are able
to obtain the necessary amount of oxy-
gen from the air through the medium
Of the water spread over the fine nom
brane of the gills. Recently a German
has invented an apparatus by means
OF which the gllls can be kept moist for
an indefinite period. This apparatus
consists OF wooden box with a num-
Der of compartments corresponding
with the size OF the fishes. On the door
Of each compartment is a layer BALI m
inch deep Of cloths saturated with wa
ter which by evaporation keeps the at
mosphere moist. The gills Of the fishes
are thus kept damp. while oxygen is
supplied from a receptacle outside the
box. Many kinds Of fresh water fish
have 1t is said. been kept alive for
from three to four days by means Of
this ingenious invention.

APPEAL BY CARD. RICHARD

Rome, Jan 7-Developments in the
church and state situation in France
continues to indicate that the Vatican
authorities feel constrained to vindi,
cate their course, by which church
property in France 10 the value of $780,
100000 was forfeited, by the rejection
of everything offered by the govern
ment, and will even order the clergy
to leave the churches in the hope Of
driving the French Catholics to demand
redress at the ballot box. Bishop La
croix Of Tarentaiso, situated in a poor,
mountainous region of France, has re-
ceived orders from the Vatican neees-
stating the dissolution of an associa
ton which he had formed with the OBJ
iect Of retaining the church property
in order to support the stricken clergy
of his diocese Many bishops have be-
gun to issue appeals TO the faithful for
funds, painting the spoliation of the
church in the BLACKLIST eolors.
Cardinal Richards appeal, which will
be read in the churches Of Paris today,
will say III part 1.-THE spoliation Of the
church in France win soon be complete
The government has repudated its sa-
cred obligation by suppressing the pub
lie worship budget. The small recon-
pense which is accorded win not pay for
what is owing to the clergy for the prop
erty seized during the revolution. The
bishops and priests have been driven
from their homes and the government
has stripped the church of all the prop
a,4 al 80, f,T
the faithful during the past century.
The property Of the wardens, pious en-.
dowments, seminaries, rectories and
even the fund of the aged and infrm
clergy is today sequestered and tomor-
row will be eonfscated We protest
against this action in the name of the
