 Occasionally young one is caught and brought up in captivity, becom- ing quite tame and displaying no rebellious conduct if taken far from the haunts of his ancestors to spend the remainder of his days in a zoo cage. and later to pose in . stiff At- titude, stuffed with sawdust and with staring glass eyes.
 As the cassowary ia considered to be of more value dead than alive, and very much safer, these birds are be- coming rare in a country where they once ran in great hocks. Their skin and their feathers, which are fine and hair-like, are extensively used for clothing by the Australian bushmen. who utilize the hard bones of the bird for making points for their ar rows and spears.
 The bushmen are said to eat the flesh of the cassowary served in sev- eral styles and enjoy 1t. How they can do 90 and continue to live is a mystery to civilized visitors to Aus tralia. who say 1t is as tough. as rubber tire.
 When peeved the cassowary is dangerous bird. He can kick like a mule, apparently to all points of the, compass at the same time, striking terrific blows with his heavy feet In addition to those weapons of defenss he has set of live strong quills which grow from his short wings and which are very dangerous whom tho bird is angry and in action.

the ships water-casks; indeed, they brought the bags of gold up on deck and offered to give them to the peo- pie If they would but give them water in exchange. But the people were afraid of contagion and drove them off.
 So the ill-fated ship put to sea again, headed for a nearby port. But there, too, they met with the same treatment. In fact, at every port at which they attempted to land, the townspeople refused to let them do so. And their supply Of water became lower and lower. Then, just as they were about to make port where they felt certain they could obtain water terrible storm came up and drove them far off their course. And from then on, every time they neared port storm would arise and sweep them out to sea again. Finally, the water gave out and they perished.
 For many, many years-and today, too. for that matter-when vessels were rounding the Cape of Good Hope, sailors peered through the storm and declared they saw this phantom ship, with ragged sails. bleached masts and ghostly figures of men running about on deck-saw this ship that was ever trying to reach a port and yet never made one.

Uncle Ned's Fishing Party

0OME on, youngster, let's go A fishing" called Uncle Ned up w 3 the stairs. Robin opened be- <@> wildered eyes on the new day, stared at the strange wallpaper and the old fashioned bureau. glanced at Mamma and remembered.- "Oh, this is Grandpa's. l forgot he took time to say before he shouted, All right. Uncle Ned. I'll be there."
 And so he was in an incredibly short space of time. Who would waste precious minutes on getting dressed up when one had arrived at Grandpa's big farm late last night and hadn't seen one of the wonderful things letters had been telling about?
 But, somehow, fishing was a sur prise. Nobody's letters had remem- bered to mention that little river ran right along the foot of the big meadow, with fish in it and dam across. Robin squealed with joy as he waited for his uncle to get the tackle. Daddy used a jointed rod and a reel and queer looking bait and a minnow bucket when he went at home. And carried a box of lunch that Mother had spent most of the day before in preparing. But Uncle Ned looked just as usual and didn't have so much as a fish about him.
 How" began Robin.
 "You'll sec" Uncle Ned interrupted as he took down basket from hook under the back-porch roof.
 Away they hurried in the lovely, early morning, through the barnlot, across the big meadow and down to the little river at its foot. That's my fish trap" announced Uncle Ned as they reached 8 queer-looking ar engagement at one end of the dam. As he spoke Uncle Ned pointed to a row of sticks, or slats set slanting, with one end down somewhere under the brown water and the other up above it. And there, sure enough, in plain sight on the slats, lay several, good-sized fish.
 Uncle Ned explained afterward, how the trap was made right in the dam and that the river.current washed through 1t with so much force that the fish were drawn to that spot. The perch and trout couldn't

Then the poor little girl would have gladly cried, T am sorry if she had only had the power to do so She wondered very much what had hap pened, when she heard several tiny voices chaLting:
 Harden her eyes and tie up her chin, And keep the smiles forever within.

A Phantom
 Ship

r AVE you ever heard of The Fly
 A ing Dutchman"? No, it isn't a
 Dutch aviator aloft in an aero
 plane; nor yet native ofsHol- land with wings attached to his shoul- ders. It's a ship-or, rather, it's phantom ship. though many, many sailors of the long ago declared and really believed they saw it. And there by hangs a tale.
 There was Dutch ship once, long ago, that set sail for Holland on it's return voyage from the East Indies. But a single passenger was on board and he, one day, while on deck, told the captain of the vessel that he WAS returning to Amsterdam to found a home for poor little boys and girls of his native land. In his cabin, he said, were bags and bags of pure gold with which he would make the little children happy and comfortable until they became old enough to care for themselves.
 It happened, though. that one of the sailors overheard the kind-hearted man talking with the captain; and he straightway spread the news among the rest of the crew that the passenger had bag after bag of gold-a big for tune-stored away in his cabin. So, the wicked sailors mutinied. captured the captain and the passenger, bound them hand and foot and threw them into the sea to drown.
 Then they set sail for the nearest port where they had planned to divide the gold and abandon the ship. But few days later plague broke out among them. Many died of it and the IL l T r;~ +1r fax to relieve the fever consuming them fought with each other and upset the kegs of water spilling most of the wa ter. When they reached the port the people who lived there saw immedi- ately that they had plague on board their vessel and refused to permit them | to land.

he ever did see, for then the pistol cracked and MT. Moccasin had eaten his last fish.
 Uncle Ned cut him in two and held the pieces up to show the big lump in each half where the fishes had stopped Then he dropped them into the hurrying water that swirled and tossed them out of sight, and, for all Robin knows, carried them clear to the Gulf of Mexico.

get through, between the slats, and as the stream went. rushing over the dam it threw them out of the water and onto the high part of the trap. Then all that was left for Uncle Ned to do, was to pick up the slippery, Hopping things and get them into his basket Of course, he walked out on the trap to do it.
 While Robin, with wide eyes. was watching this very unusual fishing party, Uncle Ned gave a shout and said, I've got you at last. you rascal Then he called, Don't be scared at the fireworks youngster," and first thing Robin knew, "Crack,' went a pistol that Uncle Ned must have had ready on purpose.

Now there is good fairy called the Fairy of Smiles who, whenever a child is naughty, fingers near, and when the child thinks he is sorry and wants his mother the Fairy of Smiles chases all the bad little elves away. So as soon as Masie thought the magical words 1T am sorry" the Fairy of Smiles wearing a beautiful robe of mist fringed with dewdrpps, and carrying wand made out of the end of the rainbow appeared and said: The good will put the bad to rout; Vanish, vanish, Frown and Pout.
 At one wave of the rainbow wand the naughty elves scra ambled off of Masies face and tumbled out of her curls where they had hidden, and ran away in great alarm.
 "Oh, mother" cried Masie, as her face loosened out of the ugly knots, and she could open her mouth, "I am so sorry"
 Then Masie's mother, followed by Nora came running down the garden. and in the background stood papa and Jack. And, oh, joy of joys, in Jacks hand were two little boxes tied with pink and blue ribbons.
 Jack had returned from the party, and Laura had sent the boxes to Masie. In one box was an ice cream heart, just the color of the fairy's wand. and the other was filled to the brim with the most delicious candies.
 Why, Masie" said her mother, looking at her little daughters still bewildered face you must have fallen asleep under the tree and you are not yet wide awake.' But Masie only smiled up into her mothers face with smile that undid all the hard knots tied by the naughty elves. and far of in the distance she could hear the songs:
 am Frown and my brother is Flout My cousin is Sulk and his brother is
 Pout.

 And then came the answer of the Fhiry of Smiles:

 Then one of the little men, who could read her thoughts, and who was no bigger than a thimble, began to sing:
 I am Frown and my brother is Flout, My cousin is Sulk and his brother is
 Pout.
 "Oh dear oh dear" thought Masie, what are you going to do with me?' The little man balanced himself on the tip of Masie's nose and sang We'll pucker your brow and pull 1t
 down,
 We'll chase out the smile and keep in
 the frown.
 And he slid down Masie's cheek and tied her mouth into a firm, stubborn knot. Masie was in terrible plight. She could not open her mouth to cry out, nor could she even wink her eye, and she knew from the way the little

men worked on her face that they were fixing it to stay, and she vowed that if she could ever get her own face back again without the ugly frown she would never be stubborn again.
 The little men were scrambling and dancing over her face like so many daddy-long- legs, singing the while: Harden her eyes and tie up her chin, And keep the smiles forever within.
 Poor little Masie was sure she would never smile any more, but she thought with very big think, indeed, "Oh, if 1 could only see my mother. I am so sorry, l am so sorry"

indeed, it wasn't the fish he shot. A big water-snake which he called a moccasin, had come to visit the fish trap. It had raised its head up be- tween the slats and had swallowed a good-sized fish. For moccasins like fish and also like to be saved the trouble of catching them.
 Then, because the first one tasted so good he decided he'd try another. So he ran his head under the slat next to him and out on the other side

He entered the examination, Just as
he said he would. and took first place
over 25 other boys. That was in 1870
and he has been in the navy service
since.
According to the Chicago Fletcher,
It was one of the bitterest disappoint-

he was compelled to remain at an exec

Spanish war But the admiral. as the
result of that experience. became an
expert on ordnance.

OF the ordnance department until he
