gan to unpack the barrel. First there
was a layer of straw, then layer OF
tiny seckle pears, layer of ripe,
and layer Of green pears to be laid
away to Fipen. ~ = -
Then came. some red apples, some
green apples, some yellow apples,
some brown russet apples and some
long apples called @sheep's noses
Then came Yegetables-parsnips,
beets, carrots, turnips and cabbages.
A long green stem was pulled out,
and what should come with it but a
round pumpkin with tag on it, which
read: "Bobby's own pumpkin. s..
Its the one, Il planted said
Bobby, ..When i left grandpa's; it
wasn't much bigger: than an apple,
! and now look at it'', 1t was as
large around as Bobby could possibly
reach. " =
Wouldn't it make. a fine jack-o'
lantern!'a' exclaimed Betty.
Eyes, but I think I'd rather have
some pumpkin, pies!" replied Bobby.
More vegetables were taken from
the barrel, then box of grandma s
good molasses cookies, paper bag
full. of hickory nuts and chestnuts,
and six boxes of honey!
{ BY this time it was hard to reach
down into the barrel, and it was
turned over box, waen out rolled
potatoes and potatoes and potatoes.
AS soon as the barrel was empty,
everything had to be put away in the
cellar.
Then came the story, hour before
going to. beds :. Tosnight instead of
having mother read story, the bar
rel packings were put il the fireplace,
and the children watched the flames
dart about and the sparks fly up the
chimney. 1t was then that each one
told what he liked best in the barrel
Bobby liked the pumpkin and
grandma's cookies. Betty liked the
honey. father liked the apples, and
mother liked the pears,
When the fire had gone down,
Betty and Bobby gave goodnight
kisses, and then each went to a little
bed for the night

morning was to write letter full of
thanks TO grandma and grandpa,
which they dropped in the mail-box

Lily made as if she would say some

she said this as one who has no

Then the other residents began to
come upstairs, and Lily retired to her

Would you follow these two girls in
their quest Of work and bread!
1t was hopeless quest, because the
things that they would do were so few,
and there were already so many girls
to do them, and they had no friends or
private interest. All that Katharine
could do well was to undertake the
teaching and care of young children, or
of those girls with parents to whom the
curriculum of the high school does not
appeal. She could bring to her task, as
she had done with the Emptage chill
dren, affection and care such as one
hardly has q right to expect for ten
times the salary. Alas! she found that
for one place there were fifty cand1-
dates. And like Lilly, she was always

BEES RACE PIGEONS.

1t is not generally known that bees
are swifter in flight than pigeons
that is, for short distances Some
years ago pigeon fancier OF Hamme,

than q dozen pigeons. The ccmpeti-

Iage nearly q league from Hamme,
and the first bee reached the hive a
quarter of a minute in advance of the
first pigeon. Three other bees reached
the goal before the second pigeon.

SWAN THIRTY MILES.

Edward Duvauchelle, of Molokai.
is the hero of a most remarkable
story of human courage and endu-
rance, and of a. marvellous escape
from death, says the Honolulu cor
respondent of@tAe Chicago. News. The
fact that he. was one of the team
that represented the National Guard
of Hawaii at the rife shooting at Sea
Girt, N. j., last fall, will perhaps
add some interest to the tale of his
thrilling experience.
Monday night, May 23, Duvau-
chelle, who is a fisherman, living at
Pukoo on the southern coast of Mo-
lokai, with three native Hawaiians
as companions, left home in a whale
boat with load of fish for Lahaina,
about twelve miles away. They ar
rived there safely, sold their fish, and
about s o'clock started in dead
calm to row back. A light breeze
sprang up and they hoisted sail,
making the sheet fast. A sudden
squall capsized them before they
could ease off the sheet. The boat
became waterlogged and began
drifting out to seat. They were at
the time mile or two from Kaap-
napali Landing, Maui. They made q
float with four oars and the mast.
and with this to help them, two Of
| the natives, at their own request.
started to swim ashore to get help.
After awaiting their return for
three hours in vain Devauchelle and
his remaining companion, Dan Pa
waa, came to the conclusion that the
two men had failed to reach the
shore by swimming. They made a
float of. the boom and gaff and all
that was left of the boats gear and
started. The current carried them
in the direction of Napili,' and they
were able to gradually make their
| way toward the shore. When within
half a mile Of it they discovered, to
their CONSERVATION, that, the current
was settling against them and that
in spite of all their efforts they were
drifting farther away-this time in
the direction Of tMolokai, which
seemed to them to be about ten
/ miles distant They therefore made
up their minds to swim toward the
shore of that island. They seemed to
be making considerable headway.
and by sunset were, as near as could
be judged by the line of breakers
on the reef, four or five miles from
the shore.
| They had moonlight until nearly
midnight, when the moon set. BY
this time Dan Pawaa was becoming
exhausted and could barely keep
himself afloat. !. Thereupon Duvau-

THE OWNER Is FOUND
The Man Who Distributed his Cloth
ing Over the City Was
Railroad Man

After seeing the story in the Daily
Sentinel yesterday regarding the find
ing by City Engineer O'Malley of a
handsome vest with a fine watch at
tached, in his door yard. and the find
ing by other residents of pair of fine
shoes, pair of nice sox and suit
of new underwear, Chief of Police o.
Neil was not long is realizing who
had lost the property.
Yesterday morning a young rail-
road man who makes his headquar-
ters in another town but who runs
as fireman into this city every few
days reported to Chief O'Neil that he
had been robbed of his watch and
part of his clothing on the night of
the Fourth. while drunk. He left a
description of the property with the
officer, and this morning Chief o.
Neil recovered practically all of the
unwittingly discarded personal be-
longings. He could not tell the Off
Ger how his clothing was removed
from his person.
There is no qustion but that the
young man while gloriously load
ed began to disrobe as he was walk
ing about town and as a result left
his vest containing a valuable watch
in one yard, his shoes and soX in an
other yard and his underwear in
still another yard. How he managed
to keep on his outer garments is a
mystery perhaps as much mystery
to himself as to anyone else. Then
notifying the officer of his loss he said
that he did not remember anything
about losing his clothes and watch
but naturally took it for granted that
they had been stolen from him.
The young fellow who so strenu
ously celebrated his country's birth
day is very lucky indeed in the fact
that his watch and various articles
of clothing fell into the hands of hon
est people.
1t is certainly true that there is no
telling what a man will do when he
is thoroughly drunk.

A WONDERFUL PHENOMENA.
a Strange Freak of Nature-Light-
ming Photographs n Human Like
ness ON IA Church Window.

Did you ever hear of lightning
making a photograph? You would
not believe it If you did hear that it
did, would you? There is a most re-
markable case of such a prank of ma
ture in a Methodist church at Salina.
Kansas, A. n See of that city, who
stopped in Denver at the Elk hotel
for a few days, tells the story and
vouches for the truth of it. And
he's an elder in the church and you
would not accuse him of side-step-
ping the truth.
A few weeks ago lightning struck
the church at Salina, doing no harm
to the building. When Elder See
went to the church to see if any in
jury had been done, his eyes were
filled with wonder. Thereupon the
wall was the picture of man. The
face only had been photographed.
The outlines of the features were per-
feet and as expressive as a living
face. The mans hair and whiskers
stood off from his head and face as
though they had been electrified, but
otherwise appeared perfectly normal
and natural. No one was in the
church at the time the lightning
struck there. No one in the city was
known who looked at all like the pie
ture on the wall. 1t was a mystery.
OF course the story of the remarka-
BILE phenomenon spread and from
miles and miles around the curious
came to see. The people who came
to attend services in the church did
not listen to the minister's sermon,
but gazed at the mysterious portrait
upon the wall. A mysterious fasci
nation fixed their eyes upon the pic
ture when once they had looked. 1t
was useless attempt for the minis
ter to attempt a sermon, for his
words fell upon unlistening ears. Fin
ally, to help the pastor to get the at
tention of his audience, the church
had a coat of whitewash put over the
picture, which is certainly one of the
most unique natural phenomena in
the world.
