DEATH All Mr.. Hamiman's properties
are in good shape. He was not one, who
would leave his affairs 20 situated that
the wolves could prey upon them.
Mr.. Hartman suffered intensely dur
ing his illness. He was beyond human
aid. In view Of the suffering which he
had to undergo and which he faced SO
braVely, believe that he is happier now.
The people Of the United States are
not likely to forget the great work
which be has accomplished for then"
Henry Clews said:
HMr. Harriman's success is largely due
to his forcefulness, his energy and his

A Woman Soldier.

Eleonore ProchaSka born March II.

sergeant. After being brought up in
the military orphanage of that town
she became a cook in some citizen S
house. When the great war against
Napoleon broke out in 1918 she was
led away by enthusiasm to quit her
town secretly. By selling her poor be-
longings she procured male attire and
weapons and enlisted under the name
Of August REM in the LutZow corps.
On account of her tall. slender figure
her sex was not discovered until she
was MORALLY wounded. This happened

Somewhat Puxzlina.

It Is not at all surprising that the
American vernacular should some
times prove little too much for the
Englishman. A. case in point was that
of visitor from London who came
to New York last summer and was
taken by his host to see one Of the
league baseball games at the Polo
grounds. The game had progressed az
far as the third inning without any
thing in particular happening. when
suddenly one Of the Giants pounded
out a three Dagger that set everybody
bowling with JOY.
"That was birdw calculated the
Enslishman's host after the excite
ment had subsidized.
A moment later a foul tip sent the
ball flying back to the grand stand.
"And what do you call that?" queried
the Englishman.
THAT'S foul" said his host.
"Ah," returned the Englishman, "a
fowl, eh? Well, it seems to me that
the language Of baseball is most ex-
tracrdinary. A fowl is bird and a
bird is fowl. and vet you use these
terms to describe two plays that seem
to me to be diametrically opposed to
each other. Do you call that logical?"
The Englishman is still trying to
think 1t out-Harper's Weekly.

What's In q LaheI.

There Is good deal of art in adver

makes clear that what attracts the

purpose in the islands Of the south
seas. He tells an experience which q

very tired of fish, but are fond of

A Queer Battle.

A traveller in South Africa tells Of a
singular combat that lie witnessed. He
was musing one morning with his
eyes on the ground when he noticed
caterpillar crawling along at rapid
pace, followed by hundreds Of small
ants. Being quicker in their move
ments, the ants would catch up with
the caterpillar, and one would mount
his back and bite him. Pausing, the
caterpillar would turn his head and
bite the ant and kill his tormentor.
After slaughtering a dozen or more of
his prosecutors the caterpillar showed
signs of fatigue The ants made a
combined attack. Retaking himself to
a stalk Of grass, the caterpillar climbed
up tail first. followed by the ants. AS
one approached he seized It in his
Jaws and threw it off the stalk. The
ants. seeing the caterpillar had too
strong position for them to over
come, resorted to strategy. They be.
gan saving through the grass stalk.
In few moments the stalk fell, and
hundreds Of ants pounced upon the
caterpillar. 1t was killed at once.

~ unhappy and fidgeted about, stand

So patent was his state Of mental un-
