cesturino over the Wire.

1T was the constant gesturing OF
that fellow at the other end Of the
wire that made it SO Internally hard to
catch what he said," growled the man
who had been wrestling with the tele-
phone.
How in the world could you tell he
was making gestures?" asked the In
credulous listener.
"By the jerky way the words came
over the wire. Many people get 80
excited when telephoning that they
gesture as frantically as If they were
talking to man face to face. Their
bouncing around and saving the air
breaks the voice and the sentences

Washington seemed imminent, there
flashed across the wires from gov
ernor to governor the quick and in
sistent demand for fighting men. In
every armory was heard the resound-
ing clash of rifles. A hundred thou
sand men, drilled for the emergencies
of a country's need, sprang to their
weapons like tensely strung warriors
of old awaiting the pretor's command
to charge. A country, which through
days of defeat had seemingly slept,
sprang into the harness of strife, as II
electrified by the God Of Battles. Sim.
ultaneously with the ordering out
of all National Guardsmen and a
further call for volunteers, which re-
ceived instant response, every railway
traversing the country was requisi-
toned by the war department.
Yet, in all this turmoil the destina.
ton of this suddenly mobilized and
splendidly powerful army remained q
secret. In vain the press Of the coun'
try and it's most influential citizens de
manded knowledge; but not till the
day when from all directions swarms
Of armed men sailed forth, was this
information given. And as If black
ened by a scourge Of locusts, the
Canadas awakened one morning to
find that along 5000 miles Of border
land were spread line of soldiers, the
most singular line of repulse ever
stretched between nations. 1t was one
of accommodation.

as they took their stations knew the

Allowed. -Mole-colored broadcloth has
been made up into this stylish little
coat for the growing girl. 1t has many
of the fashionable directoire fea-
lures and is very becoming. The
model hangs straight from the shou!
ders, the revers being of black and
white striped velvet. A tie of black
messaline is slipped under the high
rundown collar and tied in a soft bow
at the front, the long ends finished in
small black silk tassels The turn.up
cuffs are of the material and the
stitching on these and the patch pock-
cts is done in self-colored silk. The
1ouble-breasted front closes with
large cloth-covered buttons, smaller
buttons trimming the revers. The
pattern is in five sizes-six to fourteen
years. For a girl of ten years the
coat requires 6A yards of material 20
inches wide, four yards 36 inches
wide, 31s yards AZ inches wide, or 23s
yards 81 inches wide, with IL yard
of velvet ribbon to trim and one yard
of ribbon for ties.

to Pattern Department." of this paper.

CHAPTER ".
The Harness of War.

A breath Of summer swept over
the land, giving promise of wealth of
bloom and prodigality Of harvest; but
the plow stood idle and rusted in the
waiting fields, the meadows went un-
shorn, and the crops in which lay the
riches of peace, implanted. Every
where was the growing din of an
archy and the stern clangor of war. A
people who had never tamely bowed
a head beneath a yoke, nor rebelled
at just ruling, found themselves dis
traught in the whirling current of un.
reasonable tides which carried them
out to they knew not what.
A tame yielding of territory over
which their 1iag had once flown, ar
equally passive Surrender of islands
which had come to them of their owr
volition, seeking in the spread of the
eagles wings the shadows of security
and, last of all, as crowning climax
Of folly, the sending Of warships tc
neutral ports! From east to west, as
the oceans run, from the border line
of the north to that of the south, there
swept over the great waiting nation Q
call to arms. No dam built by mortal
man could have stemmed that rising
tide of indignation save the one that
was erected by the administration in
the hours of its stress. News of il
came unheralded as had all the
ominous stories preceding it.

throw of the governing power q

her, in the positive assertion that,
come what might, she of all nations
need have no fear of being embroiled,
and that under no circumstances need
she apprehend war with America.
The English ambassador, who was
one of the last to take timely ad-
vantage of his opportunity and seek
a temporary residence in Montreal,
cabled his country frank admission
that the policy Of the United States
was completely beyond his compre.
hension, and that whatever of the stu
alton might be known from personal
observation would be explained by his
secretary, Guy Hitler, due at any mo-
ment in London. The ears Of Europe
were therefore open for such commu
nications as might be impaired by this
young man, who for the moment be-
came of paramount Importance.
Thus it was that Hitler, arriving at
the Liverpool docks, found himself the
center of all interest. A swarm Of

seeming of uninterrupted commerce
and unimpeded communication. No
modern government had yet had tho
temerity to shut its ports to friendly
nations, scorn intercourse with them,
and trust to its own resources for
support and maintenance. Protests
from friendly powers were unheeded
or unavailing, because after a few
days there was no possibility OF con
veying such remonstrance to the Of
ficials at Washington.
In the capital itself representatives
of foreign nations, hearing of this EN-
barge on the ports, stood upon their
rights and demanded either their dis

Champion Carrier Pigeons.

B. A. Fogg Of Hunts Mills, Garland,
is the possessor Of some rare carrier
pigeons. He has one pair of which the
father and mother have record OF
flying from Minneapolis, Mimi, to Bos-
ton in SO hours. For the last thousand
miles of their flight they flew against
a northeast storm, arriving with Ice
and snow frozen to their plumage.
This pair had never flown west of Buff
falo before. They partook of no food
on their trip. Mr.. Fogg also has
pair of English carriers, the father and
mother having record Of flying over
5000 miles. These birds are the same
breed as those that flew from the bal
loon of Andre, the Norwegian explorer,
who perished in his attempt to reach
the north pole. He has also IL homers
that he has been flying from points
in Maine. One pair has a record OF
flying from the Bangor fair grounds
to Garland, 25 miles, in 2S minutes,
and from Skowhegan, SO miles, in 6O
minutes.-Kennebec Journal.

why's or wherefores of this most re-
markabe move, although their in
structions were of the simplest, and
were that under no circumstances
were there to be acts of unfriendlinesS
nor, even under provocation, move
ments of aggression. They were to
stand as an insurmountable barrier
between the United States and the
dominion, prohibiting traffic, passage,
and communication, and nothing more.
No man might cross the border, and
wires, which in days of peace carried
of the day, were cut and torn from
their poles as If no further word
might ever be transmitted through
them.
Nor was this all. Wherever cable
touched on all the outer edges of this
great land might be found soldiers in
charge Wireless telegraph stations
were abruptly closed, prohibiting
the use even of the air itself. Procla.
nations were issued that instructions
had been given for the perforation of
any airships attempting outside com
munication, and the penalty of instant
death was threatened any aeronaut
who disobeyed this command.
From every seaport vessels of all
nations, friendly or unfriendly, were
summarily excluded. Protests from
captains and from companies were
ignored. The United States was sud
denly blockading not only its own
means of communication, but sealing
its ports as well. No message might
be carried in or out, and, as IL fearing
also for its southern border line, the
soldiers of the regular army were
| placed there. The vessels of the navy
which were in the home waters Of the
Atlantic were put on patrol duty,
! steaming up and down the eastern
| coast with the regularity of police
men on their beats. To the world at
large the United States of America
might never have been. The tabled
Atlantis of old could have disappeared
no more completely nor been cut of
more effectually from intercourse with
outside mankind than was the great
| American nation.
Whatever criticism and surprise had
been caused among other powers by
the abandonment of the Philippines
and the Hawaiian islands was out
done by this latest move. Never be

war soldier and l am receiving $lz per

for my support, as / am so crippled

tendance of another person. l am the
mother of private soldier who was

have been told that the pension once
granted $50 per month for such condi-
ton. Can l get more pension as the
mother of a soldier killed in the Span
ish-American war?-Mrs. Martha }. M.
Answer-You are receiving the high
est rate of pension allowed the widow
of a private soldier. (2) The $50 per
month pension is only allowed soldiers
and sailors (but not to their widoWs)
who are disabled from disability due
to service and line of duty, to such an
extent as to require the regular aid
and attendance of another person. (3)
You cannot receive pension as depen-
dent mother, in addition to your wild
ow's pension, for the reason that Sec
ton AIS, Revised Statutes, prohibits
the payment of two pensions to the
same person for the same period OF
time.
