this opinion is trick that a bird

Not Afraid.


Personal courage invests its owner
with protection beyond that afford
ed by outside forces. An illustration
of this is recorded by Gen. William
F. Draper in his "Recollections of a
Varied Career" where he gives this
incident:
In 1864 Col. Daniels of the Seventh
Rhode Island became unpopular with
some of his command, and rumor
spread that he would be shot at the
next engagement. He heard Of it.
It was customary when guns had
been loaded for some time to have
them discharged into some convenient
bank, and Col. Daniels took advan-
tage of this. Marching his regiment
out with loaded rifles, he faced them
toward a suitable elevation. and TAX
ing position on the top Of 1t, and
in front of them as at dress parade,
he gave the commands, Ready, Aim,
Fire, and the pieces were discharged.
Needless to say, any man could
have shot him with little danger of
discovery, and needless to say, also,
none of them did. There were no
more threats Of that kind in his regi.
ment.-Youth's Companion.

BERGER.
FATHER BRINGS BODY
HERE FOR BURIAL
Young Hishberser Was the Son Of
Richard X. Hishberser Formerly of
Noble Street, This city-Father and
Family Now Reside in Waterloo
Lad Was Going to Omaha.

The boy who was killed by North
western train near Dunlap, week ago
last Friday night, has at last been
identified as Alfred L. Highberger,
aged 16, a former Marshalltown boy,
and the son of Richard X Highberger,
who prior to few years ago lived
on Noble street, but who has been liv-
ing in Waterloo for several years.
The body of the boy, accompanied
by the father, and the latter's son-in-
law, Fred Morrison, also of Waterloo,
was brought to this city early Sun
day morning and taken to the D. C.
Wilbur store AT O'Clock Sunday aft
ernoon the body was buried in River
side, where brief services We're held
by Rev. James Rayburn.

Mr. Highberger became convinced
after reading description of the lad
as published in the state papers, that
it was his son Alfred, who had left
home few days before He went to
Dunlap Saturday, and positively iden-
titled the body This Identification will
set at rest the fears of several Mar
shalltown families, who thought that
the unidentified corpse might be the
body of their son, who had disappeared
from the city during recent weeks, and

been received.

with his son-in-law, returned to Wa

tween the time the boy left Waterloo

posed that the boy fell from the train
on which he was riding.

Christian Missionary Had Little Show
In Argument with Native

AS a medical Missionary, stationed
for is years in northwestern India,
near the Afghanistan frontier, DR.. T..
l.. Pencil had his share Of peril and
adventure, which he has recounted in
a volume entitled, Among the Wild
Tribes of the Afghan Border"
AS medical man, DR.. Pennell had
his ups and downs with the native
doctors, who sweat their patients and
burn sores with lighted Oil, but have
no faith in western treatment. They
also bleed and purge: but gradually
the new-fangled treatment was &C.
cepted. and grateful converts were
made at the Bannu dispensary.
AS a missionary. DR.. Pencil had
to contend with the mollahs, who are
argumentative and great browbeaters;
and very often, he confesses, he got
the worst of it by verdict of the
ragged crowd that hemmed in the
theologians.
With a certain niollah, who regard.
ed the Christian medicine.man as a
rival, Dr. Pennell had an amusing en-
counter.
DO you know" asked the mollah,
what becomes of the sun when il
sets every day."
The doctor gave the native circle
the Scientific explanation.
Rubbish" exclaimed the mollah
We all know that the fires of hell
are under the earth, and that the sun
passes down every night, and there
fore comes up blazing hot in the
morning
All Dr.. Pencils accounts of natura,

Cricket Eiohtinu.

Cricket fighting national sport In
the Celestial Kingdom, is odd to see.
Crickets are trained. They are exer-
ciscd and dieted, and daily, before a
match, smaller, weaker crickets are op-
posed to them that they may work out
for themselves good fighting systems.
In matches the betting Is very high.
The Chinese, who are tremendous gam
blers, often lose fortunes over crickets,
as American millionaires lose fortunes
over race horses. 4 good cricket fight
will last half an hour. The opposing
crickcts, each in a tube like box stall,
are dropped into a ring with wall
around 1t about six inches high. 4
combatant TO win must throw his ri
val over this wall clean out of the ring.
Tiny bells are rung by the seconds.
These bells have n peculiar timbre and
excite the crlckcts to very frenzy of
fighting. 4 cricket with n good record
will sell for So or SO. while champions
often fetch $5O.-New Orleans Times
