"HE DIED GAME"
WHEN a uwu of the old frontier
came to the end of the trail
there was but one valedictory for him
If he was one of tht true border brood
"He died game."
A party of buffalo hunters was sur
rounded by hostile Indians lu the
Yellowstone country of Montana, The
bullets of the savages had shattered
the leg of one of the hunters so badly
that he could not ride. If his com
panions stayed with hlin, as they of
fered to do, It meant the death of
theui all. i
He asked for his revolver and, al
though they knew why ha wauted It,
they brought It to hlw. He put tha
mutsle to his templft and pulled tha
trigger. The cartridge did not ex
plode. The hunter looked ut tha
weapon curiously. . "That was the first
time It ever failed me" ha said
quietly. Then he rolled the cylinder
one notch and this time It did not
fall him.
Once some Texas cowboys who had
made a semt-utnVlal punitive expedi
tion across the Rio Grande were cap
tured by the Mexicans. General Santa
Ana ordered that they should Craw
from a Jar filled with black beana and
white beans to determine who of their
number should face a firing squad.
Major Cook, who had Just passed
his thirtieth birthday, plunged his
hand Into the Jar and drew out a
black bean. "Well," he said with a

Mere family never made a great man. Thought and deed, courage
and conviction, and not pedigree, are the passports to enduring fame.
Great men are not supernatural; they are the natural, the true
men in whom nature has succeeded. They who (all short of greatness
are the Imperfect.
The great men are they who both see the right and choose It, and
having chosen, pursue It with invincible resolution, resisting the tempta
tions of easier paths. It Is they who point cut the way and by their
example show others.
Great men are unique only in that they are uncommon and are
conspicuous by their contrast to the common.
In the panorama of time the great men loom, up like snow-capped
peaks above a range of hills. Each in its solitude represents a great
spiritual force rather than material force. The great prophets and
painters, preachers and poets, musicians and patriots, all Btood for,
fought for, lived for and died for, ideals,
All great potential powers have come to ns unheralded and unknown,
for there is nothing more simple than greatness. The greatest men
Mke the greatest truths, are the simplest. The great man la what ha
la from nature and he rises to his height of fame without reminding us
of others. It la only the pretender who calls for contrasts. However
far above us the truly great man may be, they always make us feel
that they ire our brothers.
. No really great man ever thought himself as great as he really wa.
No man ever became great by Imitation. A great man must give
us something new in thought or fact. -
Great men never lose their childlike heart. They give to the world
a great affection and it is this, when they are gone, which the world
' keeps and holds for them. Because great men possess this passion to
serve rather than to be served, to give rather than to get, to do some
1 thing for the world, we find great acts and great eloquence most com
monly going hand in hand.
The road to greatness Is through loss of self In the thought of all.

CARABAO CALLED IT A DAY
Animal Willingly Made Three Dally
Trips to tha Well, but Absolutely
Refused the Fourth.
Our water supply on IUmgno Island
In the Sulu archipelago was obtained
from a well that had been dug by our
Spanish predecessors. It penetrated to
the underlying coral rock and gave up
water so brackish that we at an early
date went hack to the high ground and
tried to find n fresh supply. We found
It about a mile from the shore and suf
ficient In quantity for all purposes. I
sent up to Jolo by the next ateamer
for a wntur cart and a carabao, and In
time a huge carabao bull with a 150
gullon cart was added to tfur colony.
He was as usual a stolid but cheerful
animal, Inured to any amount of labor;
hut we soon found that three trips a
day gave us a auftlclent supply for all
our needs.
This continued for about one nionjh
with no variation, when for some rea
son It became necessary to Increase the
supply. We then found that the car
abao declined to make the fourth trip
and nothing would affect him bribes,
punishment or torture of any kind. He
simply lay on the ground and chewed
his cud and placidly declined to move.
He had made up his mind that three
cartloads of water were sufficient for
any well-regulated garrison and de
clined to mnkn nnv further effort. The
next morning he was perfectly willing VOO(l SctWiXlg per COrd

Child, Walking With Mother, Toppled

Before Her Eyes.
SteubenvIIle, O. Her four-year-old
son, James, snatched from her by a
terrific blast of wind, toppled into the
street, and rolled under a street car,
while she stood helpless forced to
watch the grinding wheels of the big
car decapitate the lad this was the
ordeal through which Mrs. Anna Baker
passed here.
Mrs. Baker was walking with her lit
tle son and he playfully ran ncross the
street, leaving his mother on the side
walk. He was returning to her when a
terrific blast of wind picked hlra up
and toppled him over. The momentum
and force of the wind rolled the body
under the wheels of the oncoming car,
his head being cut cleanly from his
body.
Mrs. Baker realized her son's danger
when he was thrown over by the wind,
and with a cry she sprang toward him,
But the heavy car hud ended the
child's life before she reached the rail
on which he lay.
The motorman said he sow the boy

This monument marks the site of
old Fort MIchllimacklnac, at Macki
nac, Mich. The fort was built In 1712
and was held by the French until 1760.
A year later it was garrisoned by the
English under Captain Etherlngton. It
continued as an active garrison during
the conspiracy of Pontlac against the
English In 1763. On June 4 of that
year the Ojlbway Indians captured the
fort and massacred almost the entire
garrison. i

Vanishing Amerloan Birds.
One of the most remarkable exhib
its In the habitat group in the Ameri
can Museum of Natural History Is the
nest of a duck hawk on a shelving -rock
on the rallsndes, with the rocky
rampart of nature stretching In the
background and the placid river be
low.
It deserves to be ranked as a work
of art this glimpse of the bird life of
New York's beauty spot as, in fact,
do all the exhibits in the habitat
group.
As one enters the booth In which
the scene is Installed, one finds It
hard to believe that he Is looking at
the combined work of the artificer and
the painter, and not on the actual
shelving rock hundreds of feet above
the Hudson, with the mother-bird poised
in the summer air, hovering over the
nest with the food for her young
erasDed In her claws.
And the duck hawk Is still to be
found or was to be found there In
1908, when three pairs were nesting
across the river from the city's bub-
bub. Exchange.
