THIS VETERAN WAS MODEST
When Finally He Was Induced to Tell of Battle, the Tale Was
 Disappointing.

There is in existence very modest man who, though now peacefully employed, has in his day seen fight. ing in many parts of the globe. His friends know this and lose no oppor- tuntiy to draw him out anent his thrilling war adventures. But the veterans modesty is such that his tales are more than likely to be color less and disappointing.
 Once some of his friends cornered him and by artful subterfuge led the conversation straight up to certain battle, in which, as they knew, the veteran had participated. In moment of carelessness he al- lowed himself to be trapped into statements regarding that battle. Whereupon, noting that he had warmed to the subject, one of his friends suddenly said:
 "You were in that battle, weren't you?"
 Yves" confessed the veteran, much embarrassed.
 "Tell us about your experiences on that day." commanded one of the gathering.
 There was a breathless silence. The fighter saw there was no way out of it.
 "On that day." he began slowly, ''at conservative estimate-"
 All leaned forward eagerly.

RICHES OF ALASKA.

Alaska has proved to be a bonanza in fisheries and treasure house of gold, coal and copper. There are ag- ricultural stations within seventy five miles of the arctic circle. At some points, indeed, vegetables are grown north of the arctic circle, close up to the shores of the Arctic ocean. Stock raising is progressing in Alas ka and its islands, while wheat, oats and barley flourish under the icy stars of the north.

A BAD COLD.

She was a shiftless, slipshod creature, not very bright, not very strong, who used to come round once in a while to tell her tale of woe, accept a bundle of old clothes, and perhaps earn little by some odd job of cleaning. The family had missed her for weeks; then she reappeared.
 ''Well, Leslie, where have you becn?"
 "Oh, I been havin' the worst luck First I had bone felon, an couldn't use my hand any for two weeks. Then had neuralgy pains in my shoulder, an couldn't use my arms any. Even now I got such cold in my head I ain't been able to use my head for week.-Youth's Companion.

HAIRS FROM FAMOUS HORSES
1t Is Fad in England to Collect Mementoes From Tails of
 Racers.

There was somewhat unpleasant incident at the Yarmouth race meet ing caused by curious hobby which Is growing increasingly popular among lovers of race horses. A horse suddenly dashed out with its heels, and man who was behind 1t narrowly escaped serious injury.
 The trainer spoke to the man angrily, and when asked to explain the incident the trainer said that the man had been trying to pull hairs from the horses tail. He added that many people made collections of the hairs from famous horses. Ordi- narily they wrote to the owner or trainer for them, but there were a certain number of men who tried to make few shillings by plucking them from the horses at different meetings.
 It appears that there are many such collections, and one of them recently changed hands for $10O. Such price is above the average, but this collection contained sixty hairs, three from each of the tails of twenty winners of classic races, among them being Galopin, Or monde, Flying Fox, Sceptre, Ard Patrick, Rock Sand, Pretty Polly and Spearmint, the genuineness be- ing vouched for by letters from the various owners and trainers.-Lon- don Standard.
