Of a surprise for Alice Gannet.
And then she put her lips together some
thing the way Mrs. Paine did when she
heard the baby cry.
Mrs. Gannet lives on the same street
with Mrs. Paine. The same street with the
baby too, only sevral houses farther down.
] suppose that is the reason she has noticed
the little girl SO much, because they all live
50 near each other Well, it was about five
o'clock the next afternoon that Mother
started out to see Mrs Gannet. When
asked her II couldn't 40 with her, she said
why no, couldn't 70 to Mrs. Gannets
with her, but | could walk part way if
wanted to. So we started and Of course it
didn't take US very long to get down as far
as Mrs. Paines.

sudden that made cvrybody look up and

II was that same kind Of high sharp cry

silent and motionless. like strangely
carved gargoyles placed there to guard
the limitless plains below. Rowland
took his pipe from his mouth as he
watched the staring interest of Crois-
set. From the man he looked up again
ut the dogs. There vas something in
their %sphinxlike attitude, in the move
less reaching of their muzZles out into
the wonderful starlit mystery OF the
still night, that filed him with an in
definable sense OF awe. Then there
came to his ears the sound that had
stopped Croisset - a low, moaning
whine which seemed to have neither
beginning nor end. but which was
borne In on his senses as though 1t
were a part of the soft movement of
the air he breathed-a note of infinite
sadness. which held him startled and
without movement, as II held e
Croisset. And just as he thought that
the thing had died away the wailing
came again. rising higher and higher.
until at last there rose over him a
single long owl that chilled the blood

wolf howl of that first night he had
looked on the wilderness. and yet un-

Of the savage, Of hunger, OF the unend-

him. In this it was death. He stood
sbivering as Croisset came down to
him. his thin face shining white in the
starlight. There was no other sound
IA the excited beating of life In their
own bodies when Jean spoke.
"M'seur. our dogs howl like that

Until Croisset stopped again in the
middle of the afternoon Rowland
watched the backward trail for the
appearance of the second sledge, but
there was no sign of 1t. After their
second meal the journey was resumed.
and by referring occasionally to his
compass Rowland observed that the
trail was swinging gradually to the
eastward. Long before dusk eXhaus-
ton compelled him to ride once more
on the sledge. Croisset seemed tire

stars and the red moon he still led

Burial of Admiral schley.

Down in Washington today they are laying away the mortal parts of Admiral Sohley with full naval honors. The sea-hghter who was typical of the best in the American navy, has gone to bis long rest enshrined in the hearts of hia countrymen. The years that intervened between his engagement off Santiago de Cuba and his death have served to demonstrate that he was really a re- markedly courageous man. Vindicated at every point by the passage of time and all the animosity that followed the unseemly quarrel over the defeat of Spanish of Santiago, he lived long enough to bask for awhile in the full flood of the honors that were due him. 1t is 8 notable fact that the last olinch. ing of the honor of Santiago for him came within the month in oertihcation of the wisdom of the loop" he made in the famous naval battle that brought on the bitterest military controversy the world has ever known. has been secured in papers of Admiral Oervera of the Spanish fleet who said that Schley'a action in making the loop was brilliant move and effectcally destroyed every hope the Spaniards had of getting out of their bottled up position, because it destroyed their carefully discussed plans and tactics for delivery.
 That statement should surely have brought satisfaction to the old fighter But the whole nation feels just as he ex- pressed himself at the first murmur of the controversy "There's enough glory for al" It was the magnanimous spirit of man speaking for the glorihcation of the work of the whole navy and not for his personal aggrandizement. and shows the temper of the man better than anything else possibly could.

Letters From the People
Taking Velocipede Lessons.

To the Editor of The News.
 Dear Sir Did you ever have any experience in riding velocipedes? No? We'll, have. Let me tell your readers about It.
 This was about forty years ago, ill Canaan, Conn, and it was before bi- cycles came into use. It was this way: Three men came up to Canaan from Bridgeport, and they had three of these two-wheeled vehicles, and they started what they called a Velocipede School. They hired the Town Hall. This was a new thing at the time, so it drew con- siderable attention. They charged 60 cents an hour for the use of the wheels, and they were the teachers of course.
 One evening myself and two chums were in the hall, taking in the fun and seeing them ride, or trying to at least. This looked easy to us and we thought we would have to show them how, so we hired the three wheels at 60 cents each, for one hour, and if scratches and bumps were worth a cent apiece we cer- tainly got our moneys worth. These wheels were so tall that when we had mounted them with help of the teachers we were elevated up so high it made us feel sen sick like, but we would circle around the hall a few times, perhaps, when our steads would become un- manageable aud we would all collide together and come down in a heap. This was no laughing matter, for these wheels were made of solid wood and iron and not of rubber, same as bicy cles we have now, but we were courageous, or at least we wished to appear so. We would mount our iron steeds again, with the help of the teachers, and make a new start, but it was sure to end in disaster every time. But it was good sport if you only knew how to manage the consarned pesky things.
 This was my first and last attempt to ride these two-wheeled whirligigs, and have never had any further desire to do so. Now I wish to give this advice to all of your readers You may ride your bikes all you wish, but if you value life and limbs, let velocipedes severely alone. Charles 4. Harris.

The Army Mule.

According to the evidence that is pouring into the War Department at Washington, the day of the army mule is drawing to a close. The command ing officers in the field are beglnnIng to ask that the time -honored beast be re- placed by-motor-trucks,o Of all things.
 The latest recommendation in this connection has just been received from Colonel William l.. Pitcher, command ing the Department of the Lakes, who says "I believe the time is now at hand when experimental types of motor trucks should be constructed and issued for the tests, with view of finding a hope that will replace the field wagon to the greatest possible extent"
 We'll, if this destruction of fine old tradition must be. it must. But there will be mourners for the picturesque and faithful arny mule when the last of his kind is unharnessed for good and all. His war record is much finer than that of many human generals.-B Boston Post. -

ladies made it their business to "heckle !" The statesmen with treasohs why they should have the ballot, and insisten6 questions as to where the statesmen stood on the subject of equal franchise. The heokling" may have been good stateswomanship, and the interroGa- tories may have been pertinent But the heckled {" statesmen might we'll have asked the suffragettes what they wanted the franchise for, in view of the attitude of the Suffragists of Canaan or any other town where Equal Fran chise Leaguers are in league-who fell down when it came to the actual point of making use of the privilege they al- ready possessed.
 It's discouraging for the champions of woman suffrage.
 Several hundred women's ballots might have been cast in Canaan; there should have been at least a dozen. or a number in some sort of proportion to the membership roll of the Canaan Equal Franchise League.

Where Were the sufragists ?

Where were the Suffragists, or the Equal Franchise Leaguers, on election day? Not single woman climbed the hill to exercise her undisputed and in- dlsputable right to vote for school com mittee-not one. And the candidate for school committee on one of the tickets was lady, too. It seems in- credible that, after the rousing and in- spring Suffragist meeting, engineered by some of the national shining lights in the cause of woman suffrage, few weeks ago; in spite of the fact that at subsequent meeting for organization a Sufragist League was formed here, with every prospect of becoming a tions of the town in the face of the fact that the way to the polls was clear for any qualified woman who might care to exercise the divine right of fran chise, without let or hindranoe from proud, overbearing and domineer1ng man-in spite of all this, the women summed the voting place as scrupuIous- ly as if it's portals bore banner with this strange device "For Men Only. ]"
 Why? ..#s #.....s
 As one who is. and has been wid 'em in their fight for their rights, ,and who be- lieves they ought to have, and are bound to get just about everything they think they want-as they generally do-The News claims the right to ask again
 Why?
 Why were there not at least three women, or two, or one, earnest enough, or interested enough in their own cause, to come out last week Monday. and vote for one of their own sex-or her mascu- line opponent if they liked his politics more-for the office relating to affairs on which they are eligible to vote? What inspiration will this neglect have for those who are almost but not quite persuaded to whoop Ter up for Equal Franchise and give Woman's Rights boost
 4 Will not these near-converts be prone to ask questions-for instance: Whats the use of giving woman the right to vote, if she won't vote when she gets it ? How can she manifest her earnest ness more convincingly than by making use of the privileges she already has? If woman will not cast vote for sister, woman when she has right and 8 chance to do it, will she be apt to get out to vote for a whole mess of men when she gets that privilege9
