CHAPTER XVI.
The Witness.

Man IS a selfish animal, but, In
comparison with his father ias
Wordsworth calls him), the boy, he
Is the embodiment of self~sacrlhce
and self-denial. "No boy knows how
his mother loves him. says modern
writer, who has evidently studied his
subject. mo mother knows how
boy loves himself" and nobody else
knows. His devotion to that idol Is
without limit.
Tt must be admitted, however, that
there are exceptions. Many boys VINO
have not been to school and learned
the law of the stronger, are kind ana
gentle to their sisters and to girls
generally, are not ashamed of par
tiality for that most charming OF DO
mestic pets, the cat; and are even
fond of children. The boy that
loves a baby" is, however, very rare
specimen. In this respect-namely,
for the love of his small, helpless
w-creature-Stevie Helford Was,
as a schoolboy, almost unique.
1t was as natural to SteVi9 to pass
an hour in little Willie's nursery as it
would have been with most boys to
blow themselves up with fireworks.
If Adair had known he came so
often he might have forbidden his
visits; but as it was, he permitted
them, because they amused the child

STOPS RUNAWAY.

Hazel McMullen is a good horse
woman, and to that fact, probably,
several people owe their lives. AS
driving is one of her chief pleasures,
her father recently presented her
with a spirited horse, which unfor-
tunately took occasion to demon
strate its spiritedness one day when
It's young mistress had taken friend
to drive.
A fire in the centre of the town
made the occasion additionally fnop-
perfume The principal street of the
town was full of people, and num-
Der of motor cars stood side by side,
with barely enough room between
them for vehicle to pass. That the
girl driver guided her runaway be-
tween two of these cars, without
collision, and without running down
a pedestrian, is sufficient proof of
her horsemanship.
At the foot of hill a short dis
tance beyond is railway bridge, and
the girl realized that if they reached
this, it would probably mean death
to both herself and her friend. Kneel-
ing down and putting all her strength
into the effort, she pulled the horse
against heavy truck which had
halted by the roadside. The shock
of the sudden halt threw her out, but
without injury. Hive.

BOY PLUCKY IN RUNAWAY.

With display of pluck that many
a grown man might be proud of eight
year-old Raymond Breen, son of Mr..
and Mrs. George Breen, of Springfield
avenue, Summit, N. j., clung to the
reins of a runaway horse until it
freed itself from the harness, then
chased it and finally caught 1t in a
field some distance away.
With him in the carriage when the
horse took fright were his younger
brothers, George and Henry, five and
three years old, and it was in an
effort to save them that the boy
held onto the reins and vainly tried
to stop the horse. Although a hind
wheel of the carriage came off none
of the youngsters was hurt.
Raymond was driving up and down
the Beechwood road waiting for his
mother to do some shopping. The
shaft broke when he pulled up sud-
denly and the horse darted away.
Showing the youngsters from the seat
to the floor of the carriage, little Ray
mond braced his feet against the foot
rail and pulled with all his strength.
The horse, never feeling the puny
tugging at the reins, galloped along
DeForest avenue for two blocks,
when the hind wheel collapsed. The
jar almost threw Raymond out. Then
the horse broke away and the boy had
to let go.
Assuring himself that his brothers
had not been harmed, Raymond ran
after the horse and when it came to
stop he was at the bride. Leading
the horse with one hand and his two
brothers with the other, the boy
marched back to meet his mother,
who cried for joy when she found her
children safe.

A SMALL HEROINE.

Probably the youngest heroine in
the country to receive bronze medal
for bravery is Mary Eva Chase,
daughter of N. Oscar Chase, of East
Milton road, Brookline. This little
girl is only six years old, but last
November she saved her playmate,
Katherine Jackson, four years old,
from being run over by an automo-
bile, and the Massachusetts Humane
Society has just awarded her medal.
Eva and Katherine were crossing
the road, when Katherine cried out
that there was an automobile COM
ing, and stood still in her tracks.
Eva, with sudden push, showed
Katherine out of harms way, top
pling the little girl over on her face.
Eva, was, however, unable to save
herself. The motor car struck her,
hurting her into an unconscious heap
in the road. She was taken to the
Children's Hospital, and remained
there for many weeks. 1t is thought
that she will lose the use of one arm
through the accident, and it will be
many months before she RECEIVERS
from the shock. She sobs every time
she sees an automobile, but is radiant
over her bronze medal.

home. Willoughby wanted to leav
him alone, but Lee wanted to xii
him.
Upon careful examination the en-
tsance was found to be so large Mr..
Bruin could get out easily, so Will.
loughby watched the bear while Lee
cut some logs from a fallen tree, and
placing them in such a way as par
TALLY to fill the entrance he drove
some stakes to hold them there and
partially fill the two smaller side
openings.
Two axes, the only weapons at
hand, weighing but one pound each
and carried in their belts, were
made ready for use. Mr.. Lee opened
the fight by jabbing Bruin with the
compass staff. Then a rush was made
for the main entrance, where the
bear received blow from the axe.
This only angered him and he ran his
big feet out through the. bark and
slivers in a way that made his oppo-
nents feel anxious He would gnash
his teeth and stir up such dust they
could not see him, and thus the bat
tie went on until Bruin threw him
self on his back, biting and clawing
at the small openings, thrusting his
head out far enough so that Mr.. Lee
was able to deal him blow between
the ear and eye. Bruin turned, pull
ing the axe from Lees hand and land
ing it in the nest behind the bear,
thus leaving them with but one axe
and the compass staff to fight the
bear with.
Willoughby then proposed giving
up the battle, but Lee had to have
his axe, and the only way to get it
was to kill Mr.. Bear, so the fight con-
tinued, Bruin getting more enraged
at every turn.
Finally he started out, and Lee,
seeing the advantage, let him come
until he was we'll out of the tree, and
then called to his partner, who was
instantly on the spot and dealt him
a blow full in the face, which ended
the conflict. The bear proved to be
one of the largest the two men had
ever seen.-Eugene Guard.

RAGS AND NIGER.

1 thought you would like to hear
about my coon cat. Perhaps you
don't know what a coon cat is. Ours
is yellow and his hair is about four
inches long all over his body. The
hair on his legs looks like little pant
aloons and the hair around his neck
is just like d muff. We have got an
old black cat, too, and we call him
Niger, and the coon cats name is
Rags. Perhaps you think Rags a
funny name, but when we first got
him he had been among the burdocks
and got his fur stuck full Of them.
We had to cut big spots of his hair
off, so that is the reason we called
him Rags. We have an old rocking
chair and an old Morris chair. The
rocking chair is Rags and the Nor
ris chair is Niger's. Each lies in his
own chair in the daytime, but at
night they both lie in one chair.
Where live coon cats are very cQn-

THE FLAMINGGO.

In many parts of the Old World
there lives a very curious bird called
the f1amingo (Phoenicopterus rose
us). This bird is a brilliant scarlet
color, with black quill feathers. Its
long, stilt-like legs are we'll adapted
to wading in marshes, where 1t
spends much of it's time. Its neck Is
almost as long as it's legs, and very
snake-like in appearance. The beak
is curiously shaped and the tongue is
covered with curved spines pointing
backwards.
The f1amingo can fly well, and lives
in focks. The eggs are white, ther
number two or three, and the young
birds can run about quite early. A
full-grown bird is from five to six
feet high.
The American flamingo (P. ruber)
is an inhabitant of North America.
1t builds a potlike nest. It's color Is
much the same as that of it's relative.
1t is over six feet high.
The lamingoes belong to the order
Anseres, and are of the goose tribe.
They have a habit of standing on one
leg, like many other stilt-legged
birds.-Philip Schultz, in the Brook
lyn Eagle.

Running q Newspaper.

Running a newspaper is just Ike
running a hotel, only different. WheI
a man goes into a hotel and finds
something on the table which doei
not suit him, he does not raise hadei
with the landlord and tell him tt
stop his old hotel. Well, hardly. HI
sets that aside and wades into the
dishes that suit him. 1t is differen'
with some newspaper readers. Tne!
find an article occasionally that doei
not suit them exactly and, without
stopping to think it may please nun
dreds of other readers, make a grane
stand play and tell the editor how
a paper should be run and Wha'
should be put into it, but such people
are becoming fewer every year

TALES OF
A RUSSIAN HORROR.

History will probably make it clear
that in no other country, since Chris
tianity was first preached, has a
change of regime been accomplished
by such revolving savagery as In Rus
sia. Human life there was set at
naught; human sufferings were a
luxury to the bloodthirsty.
Bombs were thrown among
crowds, exploded in churches, left on
the seats of tramway cars, dropped
at railway stations and theatres
courtyards or streets, and blow each
other up without suspecting the
deadly nature of the toys Trains
were held up every day by armed
men, who would, if necessary, give
battle to the military escort. Mail
coaches were stopped, the horses and
the postmen shot. and the money
bags confiscated.
The authorities had to put up iron
chains on the doors of railway COM
partments to enable the inmates to
shut themselves in during an attack
Banks changed the architecture of
the buildings in which they do busi-
ness. Behind every window of the
cashiers room there is now a bullet
proof shutter, which closes at the
touch of button. The saferooms
have double doors, with iron guards.
Policemen, liable to be butchered
every night, solely because they wore
the uniform and performed their
thankless duty conscientiously, had
to be provided with coats of mail
Landowners fled from the smoking
ruins of their country seats to cities,
and lamented their unluckier kind
red or acquaintances who were tor
tured and killed. People lived in a
mist of blood and died in a storm of
maddening terror. Degrees of cruel
ty were attained by the anarchists of
which modern men have lost the con-
ception.
In lonely part of the country,
near Briansk, one night a peasant
woman was awakened by loud
knocking at the door of her hut. She
was alone with her child at the time,
and felt strong dislike to open the
door; but the feeling that there
might be some fellow creature out
side in need of help moved her to
hearken to the promptings of human
ity.
She withdrew the wooden bolt, and
an ill-favored fellow stepped in.
Looking around the hut, he ordered
her in harsh tones to heat the stove
and boil water. Quaking with fear,
she obeyed. The water boiled.
The stranger now commanded her
to wake up her child and lay 1t in a
tub. With this behest she also COM
piled.
"Now, pour the water over the
brat, and be quick" he said. The
unfortunate woman shook like an
ashen leaf, but held back the vessel.
The ruff1an, brandishing an ak over
her head, shouted, Pour out the
water, tell you, or I'll hew you in
two"
The woman looked in despair at
her child lying in the tub, then rails
Ing her eyes to the human fiend by
her side, suddenly dashed the boiling
water in his face. He fell, bowling
and blinded, to the floor. The wom-
an caught up the child and rushed
wildly into the night.-Detroit News

Before | went to sleep
I always took my evening bath
l liked it pretty deep"
Sometimes I didn't want to 60,
And sometimes there were tears;
But mother never failed to say:

"And don't neglect the corners, or
Don't splash too hard she'd cry;
Yet she wes quick to help me
When soap got in my eye.
And now that I'm a great big boy,

Where other mothers learn the things
My mother used to say.

CARE OF CREAM.

Cream will keep sweet much long
er than milk, if properly cooled, as it
contains less milk serum or food for
the action of bacteria 1t should be
kept where the surrounding atmos-
phere is pure, so as to prevent it from
taking up f1avors by absorption If
cream is kept in a cellar the walls
should be whitewashed a couple of
times year, as lime is great puri-
fer. Vegetables should never be put
in the same room with cream. 1t is
well to ventilate the cellar during the
night and close it during the heat of
the day.-The Epitomist.

EFFECT OF FOOD ON BONE.

Experiments conducted at the Me-
braska Experiment Station show very
marked increase in the strength of
bone when tankage or ground bone
is fed to pigs in addition to corn. In
determining the strength of bones.
the two principal bones in each leg of
each animal were removed and bro
ken in a machine. There were four
pigs fed in each lot, making the fig
ures given the average of the break,
ing of thirty-two bones in each lot.
The average breaking strength per
100 pounds, live weight, of hogs af-
ter twenty-five weeks feeding was as
follows:
Lot 1, corn, 325 pounds; lot 2,
corn and shorts, 396 pounds; lot 3.
corn and skim milk, 500 pounds; lot
4, corn and tankage, $50 pounds; lot
5, corn and ground bone, 681 pounds.

TO PREVENT GAPES.

A good method to prevent gapes is
to plow or spade the ground intended
for young chicks as early as possible,
and then scatter air-slaked lime over
the surface. The lime will destroy
any eggs or other sources of the
worms. Lime is also roup preyen-
tive. Disease always leaves germs in
the soil, and therefore the poultry
grounds should be occasionally stirred
by either spading or plowing, after.
ward using the lime freely. If some
of the lime is sprinkled over the
ground before stirring, and then
turned under, all the better.-Farm-
ers' Home Journal.

rections. Split a piece of fresh meat

of hooks in it and drop them careless

FREDDIE'S IMPRESSION.

impressed by the teacher and the
larger boys of the class. On return
ing home his mother questioned him
in regard to what was SAID and what
he must learn for his next lesson.

piled: "Oh, mamma, it was all
about God and love, and lady
named Eve, and how she gave an ap-
pie to a man called Adam, who nev-

BRIGANDS OF TONKIN.

The outlaws of Tonkin whom the
French called pirates are, properly
speaking, brigands, who infest the
country both on land and water.
One of their resorts is the province
of Bacninh, where they have just
murdered French officer. There
the brigands openly and successfully
defy the forces of the government.
Long immunity in that quarter has
made them numerous and formidable.
This need arouse no wonder, con-
sidering that the troops in the field
consist of native soldiers whose lives
are too precious to BE risked in
frontal attacks on brigand Businesses.
Just before the murder of the Off
Ger band of brigands made its ap-
pearance on the railway line between
Hanoi and Bacninh and inflicted loss
on some native levies who encounter
ed them. Upon this the resident went
for a detachment of native regulars
to deal blow at the enemy. The
troops met the brigands intrenched
in a village. one house in which they

speak.
The commander of the troops
found himself in a fiX.E-To send the
regulars across the open to carry the
stronghold by storm, under heavy fire
from the brigands, meant heavy loss
and certain death to many of his
men to little purpose. The only al
ternativce was to blow up the house
along with it's garrison. But this re-
source failed him from no explosives
being at hand. The result was that
the brigands escaped.
The Haiphong paper rightly won
derS why the troops in the field are
not supplied with melinite bombs.
Such engines of destruction would
save much loss of life among the SOL
diery operating against the brigands.
Yet no bombs are supplied to the
troops, though the brigands have Of
ten defied them safely from fortified
attack from fear of loss of life not
worth while to incur against outlaws
The result of this weakened policy
is that the brigand bands in that Sec
tion of Tonkin increase steadily in
numbers and strength. Pessimists
say that in time they will become too
many to be terrified by melinite
bombs.-South China News.
