and earnestly about the poor marks he
had been getting in his work at school.

A CAMEL STORY.
Fooled In It's Revenge, the Animal
Committed Suicide.

Fooled In It's Revenge, the Animal
Committed Suicide.
Some years ago it CHANGED that a
valuable camel working in an old mill
in Africa was severely beaten by its
driver, who. perceiving that the camel
had treasured up the injury and was
only waiting a favorable opportunity
for revenge, kept strict watch upon
the animal. Time passed away. The
camel, perceiving that it was watched.
was quiet and obedient. and the driver
began to think that the beating was
forgotten.
One night after lapse Of several
months the man, who slept on a rails
ed platform in the mill, while. as is
customary. the camel was stalled IN a
corner, happening to remain awake.
observed by the bright moonlight that
when all was quiet the animal looked
cautiously around, rose softly and.
stealing over toward spot where a
bundle Of clothes. and a burnoose,
thrown carelessly on the ground. re-
sembled a sleeping figure. cast itself
with violence upon them. rolling with
all it's weight and tearing them most
vtciously with Its teeth.
Satisfied that its revenge was COM
plete, the camel was returning to its
corner when the driver sat up and
spoke. AT the sound Of his voice and
perceiving the mistake it had made
the animal was so mortified at the fail
ure and discovery of its scheme that it
dashed its head against the wall and
died on the spot.-Shef6eld Telegraph

The Eorests on. the niger.

The insects Of Africa are expert dis
ease carriers. and they come in such
numbers on the Niger that one hardly
dares to use ones lamp or go too near
d light OF any sort at night. These
forests on the Niger are deadly places
for ali their haunting attraction and
take d, big toll both Of European and
native life. Yet the first three days on
the Niger, with ali its mud and Its
smell and its mangrove flies and its
frogs and its crickets, are enough to
give the newcomer an mixing Of the
drawing power, the fascination, OF
what is probably the most unhealthy

Pleasure and Sacrifice.

An alert little f1ve-year-old was visit
ing city park with her mother Tor
the first time. She had noticed the
beautiful red and white swan boats as
they passed through In the morning,
and her mother had promised they
should come back after the shopping
was done and have ride. -
Shortly after dinner they stood on
the bridge over. the lagoon watching
the boats below and listening to the
cry Of the barker as he tried to induce
the passing crowds to patronize his
swan boats.
But when her mother started toward
the boat landing little Elsie declared
very vigorously that she did not want
to 20 at all and. as her mother urged
her, broke forth in tears.
This sudden fear was so different
from her former eagerness that her
mother could not understand it until
she noticed the boatman's call.
he was crying: "Come along! Come
along! Ride clear round the pond.

That Winchester Camp No. 81,

new life was shown at their regular
meeting Saturday night, at which
four new candidates were initiated

decided to hold a meeting every Fri
day night. instead of the second Fri
day and the fourth Saturday nights
of each month, as heretofore.
AT the meeting next Friday night

Mrs. Farmer that the notary public
was called in.
Facing death with the dawn the
wretched woman showed no evidence
of collapse, though the last words be-
tween herself and husband, separated
in their parting interview by heavy
bars and an impenetrable screen,
were affecting to the two women at

there was no farewell embrace when
the time came for separation.

MOTOR HOSE WAGON
IS EXPECTED SOON
Hose Apparatus For the Fire Depart
ment May Be Here Monday
Or Tuesday.

No doubt now remains in the minds
of the tiremen that they are to have
the motor hose wagon. Word was
whispered around this morning that
it was sure to arrive either Monday
or Tuesday and in any case not later
than the middle of the week.
Councilman Hackett and Dinelli
were also busy trying to rent a room
near the engine house in which to
keep it while it was being tried out.
1t is thought best not to move the
old wagon and team out yet as the
new hose wagon might not prove sat
isfaetory and then they would be out
all the extra expense for fixing for it..
The wagon will be kept in the SEQ
bee building on Fairfax street for
thirty days or until the Councilmen
are satisfied that it will give salts
faction and then it will be taken to
the engine house. No arrangements
as yet have been made for the old
hose wagon and team, after the new
one is installed, but in all probability
it will be sent to the north end and
another engine house established.
