Eagle Valley Correspondence

From our regular Eagle Valley
correspondent. Mr.. Daley and
sons from c. S. creek were in the
valley on business last Saturday.
William Teeters went to Beach
Thursday to meet his wife and
children that arrived from St.
Paul, ..Minn. He will soon receive
a carload of stock and household
goods and move them to his claim
where they intend making their
future home.
Mr.. Duncan was seen in this
unity Saturday.
Mrs. T. A. Leighton was a caller
at the home of Mesdames Panquist
and Neils on Friday of last week.
We have an idea that wedding
bells will soon be heard in the val
ley.
As the Beaver is very high at
present, folks living in this local.
ity have to go by way of Wibaux
to get to Beach. But as the snow
is all gone it will not be long be-
fore they can cross the Beaver
again.
Mr.. Daley and wife were at the
home of T. A. Leighton for a visit
last Wednesday. Mr.. Daley will
go to Beach Saturday to help move
his goods out to the claim.
The valley is looking fine at the
present time. The farmers are get
ting their breaking ready for work
and the ground is in fine shape.
If the weathers continues to hold
good they will soon be busy putting
in the crops.

How Roberts Won the victoria cro-.

How Roberts Won the Victoria Crosa
Roberts noted that a owa of the
squadron with which he rode was in
great danger from a sepoy with a
fixed bayonet. The contest of sword
against bayonet would have ended dis.
a%strously had not Roberts interviewed
and disposed of the bayonet. That
was barely done when he noticed in
the distance two sepoys fleeing with a
standard. He galloped after the reb-
els and overlook them, and then he
had a close fight for the possession
of the standard. He cut down its
chief bearer. While wrenching the
staff from the mans grasp with both
of his hands the other sepoy turned
his musket on him and fired. The
muzzle was within a few inches of
Roberts person. and there would GER
tainly have been an enc of him had
not the musket refused to go off. AS
it was, he rode away unhurt with the
standard, and for those two courage.

NOVELS, LONG AND SHORT.
Plan for shorter Stories

Length of Some Old Ones.
A plan to shorten novels to an aver
age length of about $4,000 words and
to sell them to the general public
mainly through the large department
houses for so cents apiece, is being
put forward again both in this coun
Try and Great Britain.
The idea is bound to fail, as far as
the length of novels Is concerned, says
the New York World. Ar arbitrary
measure of $4,000 words or of any
other number canot be fixed for what
should be a work of art. Novels differ
as widely as pictures In scale, and
nearly all hat have lasted for many
years are long.
Don Quixote' has about 600, 900
words, TON Jones" about 500. 900;
Vanity Fair esteemed by many the
best novel in the English language,
about 500, 900, and all the other impor.
tant Thackeray novels, except Henry
Esmond," are nearly as long. With a
few exceptions the Dickens novels con
tain about 100, 900 words apiece, Mel.
Their Thackeray nor Dickens was at
heart u historical novelist, and when
they undertook work of this kind they
ran out quickly.
George Eliot needed al least 100000
words to tell a story; George Sand

LUNCHES AT ONE CENT EACH.

They Are Fed to Hnlf-Fcd Chill
dren who Would Resent Charity.
A heaping portion of Indian pudding
with milk and two crackers was the
menu for the1cent lunch served at the
Winthrop School yesterday, and as
long as the service proves as success
full as it has in the past the lunches
will be continued at 1890 each norm
ing, so that none of the little children
who come to school with appetites
h~alf-satisted need go home famished.
The high cost of living which has
shaved down the breakfasts at home
almost to a minimum operates to send
scme children to school with insufti-
cient nOurishment to do justice to
themselves in their work, the Boston
Post says.
At the Winthrop School it was de-
cjded that any plan that seemed to in
cluGe charity would prove a failure, as
children are the quickest persons to
form class barriers and look down on
their playmates who may not be able
to have God enough at home.
Miss Emmeline f. Torrey, teacher
OF domestic science, believes that she
mas solved the problem in the 1-cent
lunches served each morning. If cost
of preparation and service were added
it would be impossible to make the
meal otherwise han charitable, SO
Miss Torrey has a class of eighteen
girls, ranging in age from 10 to 10,
prepare the dishes and serve them.
Thus the cen hat the children pay
covers the entire cost.
The cup OF pudding and crackers,
together with the milk, which was
served yesterday to each hungry pu-
pill had enough nutriment in it to
equal nearly three large slices of bread,
with butter. The quality, Miss Torrey
said, was well suited for the needs OF
the children.
All the teachers in the school say
that the tentative working of the plan
thus far has been to provide much
more wideawake children after the
lunch hour and to do away with the
eagerness to have school dismissed.

GOES STRAUSS ONE BETTER.
JOSEPH HoIbrooke Calls for Weird
Instrument in the Orchestra.

Joseph HnIbrOoke Call. for Weird
Instruments in the Orchestra.
Having heard "Elektra' at the Man.
haitian opera house, New York, you
have some idea of how Herr Strauss
is capable Of expanding an orchestra
to over 100 pieces, some of which are
quite unknown to the ordinary must
clan, says a London letter to the New
York Times. Joseph Holbrooke, how
ever, in an orchestra concert in
Queens Hall last Friday apparently
went Strauss one better. His concert
was the prelude and a scene from his
three-act music-drama, "Dylan," which
was produced for the first time in
London.
The scoring of "Dylan" is on a CO.
lossal scale, as is shown by the fact
hat 12O members of the London Sym
phony orchestra have been engaged,
with Landon Ronald as conductor. IN
addition to the ordinary instruments
of the modern orchestra, the composer
has scored for one bass flute, which
has long since fallen into disuse and
which, Groves Dictionary of Music"
| says requires a great deal of breath
and has a tor not strong, but of very
fine quality" one oboe d'amora, also
an obsolete instrument; three saXa-
phones, comparatively new and not
much used; an unlimited humble Of
concertinas, which are a discovery Of
Mr.. Holbrooke; every imaginable per-
| cussicn Instrument; one tubaphone,
which is a little known instrument,
and one celesta. All these extra IN
struments have been especially made
for Lord Howard de Walden, who has
| presented them to Mr.. Holbrooke.
In spite of the extraordinary amount
of noise occasioned by "Dylan,' it has
considerable merit in the orchestra
ton, Mr.. Ronald says. And he has
expressed the wish to place on record
my appreciation of the astounding
technique shown by this young man
in scoring for such an enormous or,
chestra."

A BIT OF TREACHERY.

Carl Hagenbeck, the most eminent
owner, exhibitor and trainer Of wild
animals in the world. has had many
adventures in his half century of ex-
perience. Some of them are described
in a recent book, entitled Beasts and
Men" On more than n accession an
elephant has come uncomfortably near
putting an end to Mr.. Hagenbeck's
career. One of the worst accidents
happened at the end of the SOS. About
that time he purchased a menagerie at
beasts a female elephant, which stood
about eight feet high. 1t seemed to be
a thoroughly good-tempered animal, its
only fault being that, it occasionally
had the sulks-'a not uncommon char
acteristic," comments Mr.. Hagenbeck,
"in all feminine creatures"
He soon made friends with the ele-
phant, which he named Lissy, and he
never passed it's stall without giving
or a handful of food. He was. there.
fore, he believed, justified in thinking
he had quite won it's heart. and as it
neve showed any sign of violence. it
did not occur to Mr.. Hagenbeck that
he might be dealing with a grossly
deceitful creature.
The elephant was learning a trick
in which it had to swing its keeper
into the air with its trunk, and then
slowly set him upon the ground again.
The word of command which was
given to the beast when it had to per.
form this simple exhibition was:
"Lissy. apport!"
"One day" to continue in Mr.. Ha-
genbeck's own words, II found Lissy
alone in her stable, the keeper being
absent. 1t must have been a devil that
made me feel a desire to be raised on
high by her, after the name of hel
keeper. / stroked and fed her, and
then. taking hold Of her trunk, called
out the word Of command:
"Lissy, apport!"
Then followed M of the most vile
ever heard. Lissy began to obey the
order. but I soon felt she was bent on
mischief. for the embrace of her trunk
was unpleasantly vigorous, and 1
scared high into the air.
But I was not quietly deposited
once more upon my feet.
Instead Of this, Lissy dashed me
violently against the wooden barrier
In front Of her stall, and I went flying
over into the menagerie.
II lay almost senseless upon the
ground until the old keeper. Philippe,
appeared to help me home.
Fortunately no bones were broken,
but was terribly battered and
bruised. and for weeks could only hob
bic about with great pain"
