There must be some kind of ill omen in

Winfield Troinblev met with a bad ac­
cident at Bay City on Saturday. He was
trying a double barrel gun with smoke
less powder, when the weapon exploded
at the breach. A piece of the gnu struck
Trombley’s left arm above the wrist,
making a had wound and tearing away
the tissues. Dr. Wiley was sent for to
dress the injured limb, and the young
man is progressing as well as can be ex­
pected. He is a nephew to Mr. W. S.
Cone, and came from Michigan about
eight months ago.

UNCLE SAM THEIR BANKER.
Have on Depoalt with th«
Covarnmemt $4.000,000 of
Their Saving;«.
Soldier«
The American soldier is coming to
be a thrifty person, who saves his
money and uses the government of
the United States as a depository.
A long time ago, when rates for
money’ ranged from five to six per
cent., a law was passed by congress
authorizing the war department to
take deposits from soldiers and pay
interest on them at the rate of four
per cent.
Of course, at the time that was a
low rate of interest, but in these
days of two and three per cent, from
the savings banks it is a very high
rate. For a few years after the law
w'.ns passed the savings fund amount­
ed to almost nothing. Then the sol­
diers realized that this was an excep­
tionally good way of saving, and
many of them started accounts with
the government, says a Washington
report.
A few years ago a soldier received
an honorable discharge and drew $10,-
000 from his savings and interest,
and another soldier, who had re­
ceived and deposited a cash inheri­
tance during his term of enlistment,
drew $30.000. Blit these were excep­
tional cases. However, during the
last fiscal year the soldiers of the
government deposited with the war
department upward of $,4.000.000, and
that money is now drawing four per
rent, interest.
At the time that this law was
passed there were many desertions
from the army, and it was provided
that if a soldier deserted he should
lose all the savings he had on ac-
count. Hence when an enlisted man
gets an amount of money on de-
posit with the government he be-
I comes a better soldier and never
de-
serts.
His independence and interest in
his work increase in proportion with
his savings account, and the govern­
ment is thus well repaid for the
rather high rate of interest that it
allows upon soldier deposits.

“My wife tells me that our 15-year-
old boy is stage-struck,” said a man,
smoking his after dinner cigar over
on another man’s piazza, according
to the Detroit Free Press. “She is
worried about it, but I tell her to
take it easy—it will all come right.
I was stage-struck once myself, and
that’s how I came to have this hand­
some Roman nose, and to be a re­
spected and prosperous lawyer.”
“Roman nose,” repeated the other
man, “I can't see the connection be­
tween a Roman nose and your being
stage-struck.”
“Well, the connection is there, all
right,” continued the other man.
fondly caressing the little arah in the
middle of his large, ornamental nose.
“At 17 I was badly stage-struck; and,
of course, my pare.nts bitterly op­
posed all such notions on my part..
The fever continued to increase, how­
ever, and with two other young men
of the same age. I secretly organized
an amateur comic troupe to go on
the road when the time was ripe. As
a starter we decided to try our great
entertainment on a country town not
many miles away. We eloped with
our outfit, guitars and gaudy ward­
robes one day. and had no trouble
in getting together a pretty fair au­
dience that night, at ten cents each.
The songs, dances and dialogues went
off all right, They were really fun­
ny, I believe, even now; but at the
close of the entertainment I met
with bad luck.
“In going out to announce another
appearance the next week I clumsily
caught my foot in the folds of our
impromptu drop-curtain, and pulled
the heavy curtain pole or roller down
on my straight Grecian nose—the
pride of my mother’s family, and
mine by
1
inheritance.
“I was assisted to mv father’s roof
the next day, with a fractured nose
and two very black
___ eyes.
___ __ By the time
I was well again my ardor for • the
stage had abated; and T believe ‘ mv
son will get over the mania, too. My
wife, however, has not heard the
story of the Roman nose, and she
rather admires it.”

Having talked themselves nearly
to a standstill about the achievement
of ('apt. Clark in bringing the bat­
tleship Oregon through the Straits
of
Magellan
(not
around
the
Horn, as it was published countless
times), and putting her into action
at the bnttle of Santiago, the emo­
tionalists for the first time should
pause to consider by what means the
gallant captain was enabled to ae-
complish that wonderful feat. A be­
lief is growing in the navy that her
engines brought the Oregon around.
Who controlled the engines, kept
them going, prevented journals from
getting hot. governed their speed,
and made sure that they did not suf­
fer the usual break-down? I guess
that genius was Robert Wiley Milli­
gan. says a writer in the New York
Press.
Did you ever hear of Milligan,
chief engineer of the Oregon on that
moat famous of all voyages since
Jason sought the (ItildeQ Fleece? ’
trow not.
Like Brer Babbit, he
seems to have lain low. All honor to
(lark, but there are a thousand offi­
cers in the navy who could have
“commanded" such a ship on such a
voyage. I doubt, however, if there
lives an engineer in the service who
could have equaled Milligan's work
in Ye engine-room. But Milligan re-
ntaidb a chief engineer, with the
rank of commander, and is now on
shore duty in the Norfolk navy yard

In the East Indian is Lands is found»
curious lobster which climbs trees. Al­
though it prefers a home on land it it
time« feels a longing for the wstet,
where it goes to moisten its gills; and
here the eggs are laid, and the young
are raised on the coast, where they
have the benefit of salt air, alwiji
good for children. But most of their
time is spent inland, living at the root»
of tree-s where they have burrowed
deep hollows which they carpet lux­
uriously with fibers stripped from co-
ooanuts.
They come out of these homesr
night to climb the palm trees, for al­
though it seems funny to us, lieir
climbing is quite a serious business!«
them, since it is. in this way that they
secure the cocoa-nuts of which they are
so fond and on which they live prioci-
pally.
To get at the contents of the nut the
lobster first tears a way the fiber which
covers the three “eyes.” (You must ill
ha ve noticed those black spots on ou«
end of a cocoa nut that makes it lock
like the wierd face of a monkey.) It
hammers away wi th its claws at theie
spots or “eyes” until a hole is mc V
when it extracts the kernel by mean»
of its smaller pincers. Sometimes li­
ter drilling through the perforated
“eye” it grasps the nut in itaclawsiftd
breaks it against a stone.
