THE CAPTAIN'S BOY.
My papa come home yesterday and said to
mamma he
Had just got word to start away and ln-lp
set Cuba free. ,
My mamma looked at him awhile and
went up to his Bide,
And took his hands and tried to smile, but
couldn't o sho cried.
My, papa's captain of the Blues they're
soldier boys, you know,
And so we've been expecting news that
he would have to go,
And every night my mamma tried to show
she didn't care;
But through the day she cried and cried,
when papa wasn't there.
And so when papa saw how bad she felt,
he kissed her then,
And told her not to be so sad, for he'd
come back again,
And then we all sot there awhile, and
papa looked at me
I wisht they was some other stylo of set
ting people fre.
"Why must you go away to fight?" my
mamma said, at last;
"I don't believe that war is right the day
for that is past!
Why must they call on you, for oh, what
wrong have you to battle for?
Why don't they just have people go who
got the country Into war?"
"I haven't anything to, say about the
wrong or right,"
My papa said, "I go away, when they tell
me to, and fight;
I'm not supposed to think or know all I
have got to do
Is take up arms at once and go, when
others tell me to."
My mamma covered up her face and bad
to cry again,
And everything about the place seemed
kind of solemn, then,
And so we nil sat there awhile, and papa
looked at me,
And I wisht they was some other style of
setting people free.

THE RETURN
OF ULYSSES.
JOSEPH BIXNS walked rapidly
away. Excitement reddened his
cheeks. Ills eyes glittered.
Gradually the mood worked off, his
steps slackened, and be sighed bard
from time to time.
lie and bis Anne bad married too
young. lie ackuowledgiyl the wrong to
bis wife, and when earning good wages
across the soas scut money homo to her.
But bis letter came back through the
dead letter ofllce. Ho walked along the
winding lane, not heeding his way. He
never thought of Anne as an old wo
man, nearly as old as himself. Ho could
see ber In his mind's eye as she ap
peared In their courting days. A prat
tler lass there hod not boen In the
whole couutry side. Fleet as a door,
timid as a fawn, wfth soft bluo eyes,
and such pretty fluffy hair. Sweethearts
bad plagued her enough, but she flout
ed them all for Joe's sake.
Then bow pretty she bad looked whon
her baby came. He bud taken off his
boots and crept lu on tiptoe to see them.
She was lying back on ber pillow, her
arm round a little bundle of clothes,
ilor face was white, but lighted with
such a beautiful smile, he could think
of nothing but a picture he had onee
seen of the Mother Mnry and the Holy
Child. The peevish moods, the fretful
baby were all later developments, and
he bad not lin patient Uod forgive
blm! tho girl whs only 20 when ho left
ber! What a fool he had 1khii!
The night ndvanid. One by one the
stars came out nnd tho glow-wonns
shone In tho grans Mow tho hawthorn
hedge. All nature seemed nearer to
the heart of God. Tho old man felt
himself drawn Into the mystery of that
magic stillness. A soft an overwhelm
ing sense of sonx-thlng ho had missed
through nil his life took possession of
him. He lifted bis white, lined face to
the starlit sky of tho summer night
"Our Father," ho whispered. "Our
Father which art In heaven, so help me
I will find her and do my duty by her
till I die." Ho went on talking to him
self under his breath for a few nilnuU's,
then he gripped his stick, squared his
shoulders like an old soldier, and
marched steadily ahead Into tho dark
ness.
A few days later Lucy Haws set out
to pay another visit to hr uncle. She
wameu siowiy as sno approached a
tiny cottage standing kick from die
lano behind a low briar hedge. The
dlamond-ivancd enmnneuts wero Uuv,
Uie door iMUtxi up, the garden gate
broken on Its binges. An air of neglect
and desolation pervaded tho little
dwelling place. Peering over the hedge
with keen curiosity was a man, whom
Lucy at first glance took for u tramp,
She could bavo vowed be was crying
when she first looked at bis side face,
but wbcu lie turned at ber approach
there vvas such ongornona and hope in
bis whole inclu UuU Bhe thought she
was mistaken.
"Can you toll mo who lived here,
miss?" bo asked, touching bis hat po
litely.
"Yes, certainly," said the girl; "old
Widow Jom. Poor thing, she's In tho
Union now, nnd tlwre's none to took
after her Wt of garden. It's In a bad
state. She'd flirt awful ti see It"
"Is It maybe tho Widow Jones that
was once kuowu as Anne Blnns?" ho
asked, after a quick look over tho bvdgo
at tlie bit of garden.
"Yes, but that was ycors ngo, bofen I
was born; but folks have invn talking
a great deal about her lately."
Again the man stared over tho hodgo.
Lucy liked tho Kwk of him, and waited
for blm to Rpoak again. Hut bo seemed
to have forgotten she was there,
after a hurt speculating look at his
white hair ami till figure Bhe went on
ber way.
Joseph Blnns walked up tho path and
round tho cottage, pooping In at the
window back and front. He aurveyed
the neglected garden, nnd thought hard
for some time. Then be proceeded to
the village and hired a small bedroom
for a week. When he was going to bed
that night he pulled his blind down,
and looked carefully to see there vvas
no chink or crack through which his
movements could be observed. Then he
began to undress.
He wore a moleskin waistcoat bare
with age but etlll warm and thick. He
put the garment across his knee and,
ripped the lining up the center. After
this he thrust tn his hand and drew out
some rustling papers, which he flat
tened out and fingered separately with
tender care. Joseph Blans had been
wise tn his generation.
"My poor old girl she shall have 'era
all," he muttered. "IH do the thing
proper and pretty. My word, little
Anne won't know herself."
It was pathetic how he still cherished
the Idea of youth In respect to the wo
man he was seeking.
The village had delightful food for
gossip during the next week.
A stranger took possession of Widow
Jones' empty cottage,, and each . dav
brought with it some wonderful trans
formation. The garden was laid out,
the window cleaned and decorated, the
gate mended, the rooms scrubbed and
colored.. The climax was reached when
a big cart of plled-up furniture drew up
In the lane.
Then the neighbors came flocking
with offers to help, but Joseph Blnns
admitted no one Into his house but
Lucy Haws'. Ho had to make a con
fidant, of some one, and Lucy had taken
his fancy.
At last all was rea,dy. The cottage
was fit for a bride to enter. Lucy
chipped her hands with delight Joe's
heart swelled with proud exultation
nnd anticipation. A baven of rest for
tlie waning years of his life with the
old sweetheart of his youth. Not a
loud should mar their happiness.
And now go right away, as quick as
everyou can, and fetch her borne," said
the girl, with a catch In her voice, as
she helped the old man tnto his coat
and gave him his hat
The old man was trembling with emo
tion. A pony and cart were waiting In
the lane. He got In and drove quietly
away In the direction of a large gray
building standing out against the hill
some three tnlleti distant from the vil
lage. ,
The porter came out from the lodge,
"This isn't visiting day," was the
gratuitous remark before Joseph Blnns
In his excited mood could frame a re
quest I've come to fetch some one" he
brought out the words with difficulty-
some one who doesn't need to have to
top here any longer. I'm her lawful
husband and want to take her away.
Anne Jones Is her name Widow Janes,
that was Anne Blnns."
Again tlie porter stared at the old
man, then he looked away and said In
nn even voice void of expression:
Anne Jones, known as Widow Jones,
died at 0 -o'clock this morning.. Cor
oner's Inquest 'morrow at leven,
fun'ml at a."
The old man stood quiet and motion
less. The sun beat fiercely down on
the white gates. The clock In the tower
began to strike, and each stroke rang
out like a funeral knell. The horse be
tween tho Bhafts turned Its head and
Btnred with almost human eyes on the
statue-like figure of tlie aged man.
And when the clock stopped striking
there rose from the golden corn across
the road the thrilling song of a soaring
lark, which flew towards the sun till
only a tiny spook showed darkly
against the bluo of heaven. The En

Remarkable Experience of a Hotten
tot with the Cierniun Longnoge.
If nny one In speaking to you used
the word Hottentotenstrotlertiotter-
mutterattentaoterlatten glttarwctter-
otterbeutelatte, Its harmonious Bound
would assure you that It was German,
and such It really Is, being taken from
a Dresden paper, Dor Weldmann, Here
Is the explanation of It: Among the
Hottentots (Uottentotten) the kanga
ms (boutelnute) nre very numerous.
Many of them roam about the country,
free and respwtod; others, less fortun
ate, nre caught and shut up In a cage
(kotter) furnished with a cover (latten
gltter), which shelters them from bad
weather. These are then colled, In
Gorman, lattengltterwetterkotter, and
tho kangaroo, once Imprisoned, takes
the name of lattengltterwetterkotter-
beutelnitto. One day an assassin (at-
tentaeter) was arrested, who had killed
the Hottentot mother (llottentotenniut
tor) of two children, one half-witted,
the other a stammerer (strottertrottel).
This mother, In tlie German tongue, Is
designated by the word Hottentoten-
strattertrottelmutter, from which It fol
lows that the assussln takes the name
of Hottentoteustrotertrottelmuttexat
tentaeter. The murderer was shut up
In a kangaroo cage (bcutelrattenlatten-
gltterwetterkotter), from which he
shortly escaped.
But, fortunately, be soon fell Into the
hands of a Hottentot, who went joyous
ly to the mnyor of tho vtllage, exclaim
ing: "I have caught the beutelrattel"
"Which one?" asked the mayor; "we
have several."
"Tho nttentaeterlattengltterwetter-
kotterbeutelrntte."
"Of which attentaeter are" you speak
Ing?"
"Of the nottentotenstrottertrotrel
mutternttentneter."
"Then why couldn't yon say at once
that you had caught the Hottentoten
strottertrottel mutterattentaeterlatten-
gltterwetterkotterbeutelratto?"
It Is said that the Hottentot fled In of-
fright-Crltlc.

SURGEON GENERAL STERNBERG
He Will Carefntly Look After Oar Sick
, and Wounded Soldiers.
The medical service of Uncle Sam's
army 13 brought prominently Into pub
lic notice now that our soldiers are In
the field. This Is the branch that must
look after the sick and wounded and It
Is of prime importance that the head of
the department should be well fitted for
the onerous duties that fall upon his
shoulders. Surgeon General George M.
Sternberg Is CO years old, but does not
look his age. He served during the
civil war as a surgeon and won great
distinction. Since then he has been
continuously serving with the army,
both In Indian campaigns and yellow
fever epidemics. He has studied the
best methods for preventing yellow fe

been prevalent, has fepresented this
country at. International sanitary con
ferences and Is a member of leading
medical organizations here and abroad.
He has published many works princi
pally on the cause and cure of disease
from climatic Influences.
In accordance with Gen. Sternberg's
plan for the caring of sick nnd wound
ed during the occupation of Cuba, every
army division will be provided with
tents for a field hospital for the divl-

slon; also with an ambulance corps,
consisting of enlisted men of the hos
pital corps of the United States army,
whose duty it will be to remove the
wounded from the battlefield as
promptly as possible. The hospital ship
relief will go to any port which may
be occupied by our troops, to serve as a
floating hospital and also as Bn am
bulance ship to bring the sick and
wounded to the nearest port In the
United States where hospital accommo
dations are available.
A large general hospital has" been fit
ted up at Key West as this will be the
most convenient point of landing the
sick and wounded of an army In Cuba.
A hospital train consisting of tourist
Bleepers nnd a dining car, with medical
officers and attendants and nurses, will
be held In readiness to transport the
sick and wounded from Tampa or any
other convenient point In Florida, to
the general hospitals located fartUer
north. The first of these Is at Fort
McPberson, Ga., where accommoda
tions have been provided for 5(10 sick.
nnd upon short notice these hospital ac
commodations (Jan be considerably ex
tended. The barracks at Fort Thomas,
Ky., have also been converted tnto a
general hospital, and GOO or more men
can be provided for at this point The
bnrrncks at Fort Myer, Va., have also
been taken for hospital purposes. Ad
ditional hospitals will be established
os soon as the necessity for them arises.
Gen." Sternberg has laid down regu
lations for the soldiers to follow while
In Cuba. They will receive the best
of enlightened medical treatment nnd
If fevers break out nmong them it will
not be for want of vigilance on the part
of the medical corps.

Died Pauper.
Samuel Tetlow, who died a pauper
recently In San Francisco, was one of
the earlier settlers on the raclflc coast,
and In the good old days of Frlseo'B
babyhood was known as "Prince

which he won and lost fortunes over
the green baize. He built tlie old Bella
Union Theater, having as a partuer In
Its management William Sknneantle-
bury, whom he shot to death during a
quarrel. Tetlow was sentenced to death
but "social" Influence brought about
his acquittal at a former trial. At one
time he owned the proierty now known
as Sntro Heights, which he sold to ex

RAPID-FIRE GUN3.
What Distinguishes Them from the
Slow-Fire Cannon. '
Rapid flre guns nre Just now much
talked about but most people have only
a vague Idea of what they are. Prob
ably the general Idea Is bnsed on the
Gatllng gun. Teople who take tho Gat
ling gun as a type of "rapid flre" sup
pose that all guns called by that name
are merely machines for showering rifle
balls. But this is a complete mistake.
There are rapid flre guns with a diam
eter of six Inches that throw shells
weighing 100 pounds. The Engineer
ing News explains the matter as fol
lows: '
The essential difference is In the
method of loading. Instead of opening
the breech and Inserting tho projectile
and the powder separately, the Uvtter
Is In a bunting bag, ammunition for
rapid flre guns Is now prepared as for
small arms, the ball, powder and firing
primer nre united, the powder In n me
tallic case ataehed to the shot and the
primer In (She center of the base of this
ease. There are a number of types of
rapid flre guns, differing in the way
this fixed ammunition is fed to the gun
and fired. The six-pounder (2.24-inch
caliber) rapid fire guns of the Hotch
klss, Drlggs-Schroeder, Maxim, Nord
enfeldt and Sponsel types can discharge
100 shots In 4 minutes 20 seconds, 4
minutes 3o seconds, 4 minutes 41 sec
onds and 4 minutes 50 seconds, re
spectively, or twenty to tweny-five
shots per minute, with accuracy of aim.
Without attempt at accuracy of aim
the rate can be Increased to thirty to
thlrty-flve shots per minute. With
five-inch rapid fire guns, or fifty-pounders,
thirty-six shots have been fired In
five minutes.
Fecundity of t:ie Sparrow.
Sparrows are the rabbits of the feath
ered world In point of multiplication,
frequently producing more than twenty
young ones In a season, three or four
broods of six or seven being not unus
ual, tn six years the progeny of one
single pair of sparrows will amount to
millions, ns evidence the alarming
rapidity with which the United States,
New Zealand nnd Australia are now
infested, the number originally taken
over by emigrants' being very smalL
Complaints from American, Australian
and New Zealand agriculturists of the
ravages committed by the bird are even
more bitter than those of English farm
ers. The total numbers of Rparrows are
out of all proportion to those of other
species of birds.
Siberian Horses' Manes nnd Tails.
Three hundred bales of horses' manes
nnd tnils, to be used for upholstering
furniture, have been landed here by
the British steamships Maine and
Michigan from London. They come
from tar-away Siberia, and are taksn
from horses used by the Cossacks after
the animals have outlived their useful
ness. Horses are cheap In Russia, and
after having seen better days their
manes and tails nre the only things left
of a commercial value. Very often
these hirsute appendanges are taken
from sound animals, and the beasts
left to their fate. Here the upholster
ers use the hair for stuffing chair-backs
aud other articles of furniture, and the
material from Russia brings the best
piice, because the hair Is the longest
and consequently the best Philadel
phia Record.
