! Property of British Admiral.
The vast fortune is the accumulation
of property bought by Sir Admiral
! henry Spencer a British officer of the
18th century, whose duties took him
to the West Indies and Caribbean sea.
where he ran down and exterminated
several notorious bands of pirates.
| Enormous sums were captured from
these pirates and the officers and men
of Admiral Spencer's ships prorated
the spoils, the admiral receiving the
largest share. When he returned to
England his money was invested in
mines and landed estates. He left no
children, his sole heir being nephew,
grandfather of Mrs. Spencer.
The long fight for the estate is
nearing an end, and word has been
received from Mrs. Spencer that the
British government offers to compro-
mise for half the claim. Mrs. Spencer
has written her 10 children, asking
whether they wish to compromise.
The Spencer children were reared
humbly. always hoping that some day
the estate would be settled. Mrs.
Jones married and came to Milwaukee

A Strenuous Statesman.

Charles James Fox, the English
statesman and sport, had wagered
something about a waistcoat which
could only be obtained in Paris; went
off to Dover by night. caught the mail
packet, posted to Paris and back to
Calais, and remembered he had horse
racing at Newmarket. He chartered
a fishing boat bound for the eastern
counties, just got to Newmarket in time
for the race, took the post back to
London and stopped on the way to dine.
In the middle of the dinner he was
caught by special messenger who
had been tearing over half of England
in search of him and reminded that
he had to move to bring in marriage
bill in the house of commons. He
rushed to the stables, reached the
house in time to make a brilliant
speech in reply to North and Burke
and defeated North on a division by
a single vote.

CAUGHT THE CAPTAIN.
He Was Not on the Early Morning

He Was Not on the Early Morning
Job, but the Kaiser Was.
Some time ago the kaiser heard that
a captain in one of the guards regi-
ments at Potsdam had fixed the regu-
lation hour of schooling for his men at
6 O'Clock in the morning. The kaiser,
though doubling the fitness of such an
early hour for the lesson and the abil-
ity of a popular young officer to keep
up to this rather exacting standard of
early rising. said nothing. but one day
walked into the barrack room at 6
o'clock.
The captain was not there. but the
emperor showed neither annoyance nor
surprise. He asked where the lesson
was to be found in the books, and
without more ado. to the mingled anX-
iety and delight of the men. he took
the lesson in hand and explained the
passage in history which was the sub
ject of the day. 1t was nearly Z o'clock
when the captain showed himself The
kaiser returned his salute and made no
allusion to his crestfallen countenance.
but handed him the lesson book after
pointing out how far the class had got
and then left the room.
Nothing more was said or heard
about the incident until a few days
later. when the captain received a
handsome alarm clock, evidently from
the kaiser. What the officer wrote in
his letter of thanks for the gift is not
recorded.-"lreland's Own"

Wasps and Beetles Paralyze Their
Victims Before Killing.
That the sting of the wasp, which
punctures the nerve centers Of a cap
tured caterpillar or spider. usually par
alyzes the creature into helplessness
rather than kills it is well known.
The victim remains alive in the bur-
row or cell In which the wasp stores 1t
as food for the larva which will
emerge from the egg laid in the same
cell. Therefore the newly hatched
grub finds ready for it a provision of
living meat instead of decayed car
riOn.
That wizard" among entomologists.
the venerable Fabre, has discovered
similar yet even more extraordinary
fact in the history of the glowworm
beetle Qampyris-namely, that it an
itself feeds, so that it may consume it
at leisure and predigested. This beetle.
whose brilliant phosphorescence at
tracts the eye in the dusk of the sum
mer evenings. habitually hunts and
seizes upon a certain small snail in or
der to eat it.
The curious thing is that the beetle
anaesthetizes the molusk at the first
attack. preventing it from escaping by
withdrawing to safety deep within its
shell. Upon finding the snail the
beetle dashes forward and, thrusting
out its sharp, curved mandibles. re-
peatedly stabs the side of the body of
its prey. After a few punctures the
snail becomes insensible and remains
! in that deadened state for three or
four hours-a time more than sufficient
for the beetle to complete its meal
