A Story of Bismarck-
When Biemarck was a Pruwlon Del

patrician who held the Pruwions in
great repugnance, and when Bismarck
applied to him to have a bell fixed up
in bis servants room be answered that
if Bismarck wanted a bell he must get
it fixed himself. A few days later a
loud report of firearms was heard to
proceed from th? delegate’s room. The
landlord rushed up to his lodger’s
apartments, and, bursting into Bis
marck's study, found him seated at bis
desk before a great pile of documents*
calmly smoking bis pipe. There was
a pistol lying on the table, still smok
ing at the barrel. "For the love of
heaven what has happened?’ asked
the frightened landlord. “Nothing,
nothing,’’ answered Bismarck quietly;
"don’t disturb yourself; I was‘only
calling my servant; it is a very harm
less signal to which you will have to
accustom yourself, for no doubt I
shall want oftentimes to use it again."
The bell was fixed up next day.

The Nation’s Shame-
Today ft Second Cavalryman, a pale
looking fellow came up lo a Sun re
porter ou the road and sheepi.hly
holding out a couple of Mauser bullets
said: ‘ Are those worth a few cents
to you? I <ook them from a Spaniard
in Cuba, and they might make inter
esting souvenirs.’’
"What do you waol the money for?”
asked the reporter.
"To get something to eat,” said the
soldier. *1 am starving to death here.
I am too weak to bold the rotten food
the government ie giving There’s
three months’ pay coming to me, but
I cau’t get any of it.’’
And this ie the story that one hears
all over the camp. Soldiers are selling
all kinds of souvenirs that they collect
ed in Cuba, in order to get a little
nourishing food.
The only explanation that can be
obtained of this state of affairs is that
a regimental commander can not draw
fresh rations for bis men until he baa
used up what he got iu bis last requi
sition without payirg for it himself.
And while these conditions exist in
the camps of the regulars, the camps
of the volunteers are overflowing with
good things—New York Sun
Sure of His Infamy-
There seems to be a prospect of as
lively a shindig between Shafter and
Miles, over the credit of the Santiago
campaign as that between the friends
of Sampson and Schley over the credit
of sinking the Spanish fleet.
Well Shafter and Alger may deprive
Miles of hie share of the credit of
Santiago but there is no one who will
dispute hie claim to the infamy of
putting irone on a sick and feeble
prisoner in Fortress Monroe.
Ae long as the name of Jefferson
D tvis is deaj to the eoulbern people
eo lung will Gen. Nelson A. Miles be
be remembered as the one petty tyrant
and beastly coward in all the land
who could have been found dastard
enough to have perpetuated such a
brutal outrage.
Miles’ name will go down in history
but it will be ss Jeff Davis’ jaijpr and
not as a gallant fighter in the field.—

The Remains of Columba*.
Io whom do the remains of Chria o
pher Columbus belong? They , lie in
the Cathedral at Havana, their third
resting place, where they have reposed
for a bandrod years, says the Savannah
News. The great navigator died el
Seville io 1500, and was buried there.
Thirty years later bis son carrying
out the wish of his father, removed bis
bones to 8«n Domingo and deposited
them in Un-Cathedr»l al that place.
When Spain evacuated that island in
1795 lbs Spaniards took the remains
of Columbus with them and carried
them to Havana, where they are now.
The newspapers of Spain are protest
ing vigorously against any suggestion
of the bones of Columbus falling into
the bands of the bated Americans.
As a matter of fact, have not the
Americans as much right to the bones
of Columbus as the Spaniards? He
was not a Spaniard; on the other
hand, be. was the first white American.
Spain never appreciated him during
his life time. She ill-used him, loaded
him with chains and finally broke bis
heart. If the old discoverer could ex
press his preferences, the probabilities
are that be would hail with gladness
the opportunity to sleep Under the
mighty flag of the country he discov
ered. ___

A Fanny Burglar Story.
An elderly woman and her daughter,
living in Walnut street, have been spend
ing the last few days In recuperating from
a nervous shock, each blaming the other
as the cause of the trouble. The elder
woman lives in constant dread of burglars,
and to additionally fortify her room at
night she has taken to standing a stick
between the lower sash of her window and
the casing above, so it cannot bo opened.
The other night she was awakened by
hearing a racket in her room and finally
mustering up enough courage to look
around she discovered that her stick had
fallen from the window to the floor, be
hind the sewing machine. She arose, went
■ to the machine and leaned over it to reach
the stick.
In the meantime the daughter had been
awakened by the same noise, and, fearing
that a burglar had entered her mother’s
room, she hurried to investigate. Reach
ing the door, she saw, to her’ horror, that
her mother was lying, head down,’over
th<r machine, evidently dead or uncon
scious. Running over, she clasped the
supposedly unconscious body around tho
waist. Immediately the mother gave forth
such a succession of blood curdling shrieks
as might have been heard for squares as
she struggled in tho grasp of tho long ex
pected burglar; but the-daughter, certain
that her mother had gone mad with
fright, held on for dear life, and the two
struggled and swayed till finally they both
fell exhausted on tho bed. Then they real
ized tho true situation, and they’ve been
blaming each other ever since.—Philadel

Dow Men Fight Nowadays.
Georgo P. Gross, the colonel of the Third
regiment, talked of war to a reporter about
as it really is.
“There have been changes in war tac
tics since the civil war,” said lie. “For
instance, soldiers used to line up in battle
shoulder to shoulder and stand out in the
open under a galling fire. That has been
changed. When tho regiments are in line
firing nowadays, tho men will bo three,
four, five or even six feet apart. The ex
tended order line is similar to tho skir
mish line. It is p. very effective way of
fighting and greatly reduces tho loss of
men.
“ To march mon upon the field shoulder
to shoulder in tho face of rapid firing ar
tillery means a great slaughter. Gatling
and Hotchkiss guns would simply mow
them down. Then, too, the men are al
lowed to protect themselves. They lie
down and with their trench knives or bay
onets scoop up loose earth, which is a great
protection from infantry fire. Loose earth
will stop rifle bullets. ®
“In the last war wo used to raise earth
fortifications and tramp tho earth down
hard. That is just what wo should not
have done. Wo should have thrown up
the earth loosely.
“In an engagement a regiment is
marched out upon the field in three bat
talions under tho command of majors, the
companies—four to a battalion—com
manded by tho captains. By this means
the colonel and lieutenant colonel can di
rect the maneuvering of the regiment.

•■John Inglesant" Declined.
James Payn has himself told how he
refused “John Inglcsant,” one of tho most
successful stories of the century. He
chanced to come across a paragraph stat
ing the fact and was most Indignant, tell
ing the head of the firm that he was going
to give the writer a bit of his mind. “I
don’t think I would trouble to do that,"
the publisher replied. “Why not?’’ asked
Mr. Payn. “Because—well, beemiso you
did refuse‘John Inglcsant,’you know.’’
“I did nothing of the kind,’’ protested
Mr. Payn. “Refuse ‘John Inglesanti’ I
refuse‘John Inglesanti* I never heard of
such a thing.” However, he was con
vinced when his own letter of declinature
was shown and laughed heartily over the
Incident, adding always: “I had refused
'John Inglcsant, ’ and my publisher bad
never said a word of It to me. Wasn’t it
good of him?"
It is also an open secret that, although
Messrs. Smith, Elder & Co. published
“Robert Elsmere,” the book was rejected
by Mr. Payn. But, on the whole, he was
appreciative and quick to discern new tal

SPANISH WAR DOGS.
-
They Were Armor and Were More Feared
Then Soldier. by ladtaAe.
Aperreado Sa a Spanish word which In
the days when Spain was busy with tta
conquest of the West Indies and Central
America struck cold terror to the hearts of
the Indiana The word means “given to
the doge,” or, to translate it yet more dis
tinctly, it means death by bloodhounds.
In Spain magnificent specimens of this
canine race have always been bred, and
when Columbus i -t> out on his first voyage
a few fine hounds constituted part of his
fighting equipment. Not knowing with
'what enemies ho might have to contend,
ho took the hounds along to aid his men,
but Columbus was one of the few invaders
coming from Spain who treated the In
dians humanely, and not until after he
had gone back to Europe, broken and dis
graced, were the hounds used to torture
the poor savages.
On all the dogs as well as the horses the
Spaniards brought over with them tho In
dllans looked with fear and reverence.
Tho West Indian savages had not only
never seen animals so large, but the fact
that both dogs and horses performed tasks
and obeyed masters filled the natives with
respectful amazement.
Their Interest in these new brutes was
soon, however, turned to dismay when the
horses’ iron shod hoofs struck down wom
en and children and the dogs were em
ployed in battle. So ferocious and effect
ive were these canine warriors as taught
by their Christian masters that in Cuba
one dog was more feared than a hundred
armed men.
When Cortes took his famous first ex
pedition into Mexico, a fine pack of blood
hounds waa among his most highly valued
fighters. Pizarro also took hounds into
Peru, but on the continent the native war
riors wore a sort of armor made of padded
cotton cloth. Through this the dogs could
not set their, teeth, but they could spring
easily as high aa a warrior’s throat, run
in among the men and by butting vigor
ously cause theta to fall, or, more horrible
still, they were encouraged to prowl over
the battlefields and tear to pieces any
wretched wounded Indian who showed the
least sign of life.
There were many among these brute
fighters who rose by dint of hard service
high In the Spanish ranks, and the names
and deeds of some of them come down to
us in history. In the Island of San Juan
—now Porto Rico—was a remarkable dog,
so large that he went by tho name of Ber
cerrillo—little calf. This renowned man
eater destroyed the lives of so many In
dians that he was promoted to a military
grade, receiving the pay of a sergeant of
the horse and a proportionate share of
prize money and spoils.
It is told of Bercerrillo that he easily
comprehended all that was said to him
and the value of any object. On one oc
casion when the governor of San Juan
wished to send a written message he gave
it into the hands of an Indian woman to
deliver. Unfortunately her way led past a
church, where a group of Spanish soldiers
were lounging waiting for mass to begin.
Bercerrillo waa with them and in a spirit
of idle brutality they proposed to set the
dog on the woman.
Bercerrillo needed but small encourage
ment. He rushed at the poor creature,
who fell on her knees, the governor’s mes
sage in her hand, crying: “My lord dog,
thy servant Is sent with this to the Chris
tian lords down yonder—see, here it is.
Do me no harm, dog, my lord."
Sniffing at her, tho sagacious creature
let her pass unharmed.—Exchange.

One night Chaplain Jones of the Texas
heard volley firing on the Cuban coast,
which was being guarded by the blockad
ing squadron, and was told that marines
were being landed from the Marblehead.
The next morning Captain McCalla came
alongside of the Texas in his launch and
announced that four of his men had been
killed and that there was still fighting.
Chaplain Jones then approached Captain
Philip and said that he would like to go
ashore and look after the wounded and
read the services for the dead. Captain
Philip gave instant permission, and the
chaplain prepared to go ashore with a boat
load of marines that was in charge of a
young lieutenant. As the worthy chaplain
clambered over the side of the Texas the
lieutenant looked up from the boat and
called out:
“Where are you going?"
"Lieutenant,” replied tho chaplain, "I
am going to bury the dead.”
“For goodness sake, give us a chance to
get killed first,” rejoined the officer.
“Lieutenant, I am going to bury the
dead that have already fallen,” responded
the chaplain, whereupon the lieutenant
quickly replied:
“I beg your pardon, chaplain; I was too
hasty.”—Buffalo Express.
Boys Always the Same.
The numerous papyri unearthed some
time ago by Messrs. Grenfel and Hunt
from the ancient city of Oxyrhyncus,
Egypt, are being gradually deciphered.
One of them, a letter from a boy, evi
dently a petted darling, to his father
sounds strangely modern, though it is at
least 1,600 years old:
“Theon to his father Th eon, greeting.
It was a fine thing of you not to take me
with you to the city. If you won’t take
me with you to Alexandria, I won’t write
you a letter or speak to you or say goodby
to you, and if you go to Alexandria I
won’t take your hand nor ever greet you
again. That is what will happen if you
won’t take me. Mother said to Archelaus,
‘lt quite upsets him to be left behind (?).
It was good of you to send me presents * * *
on the 12th, the day you sailed. Send me
a lyre, I Implore you. If you don’t, I won’t
eat, I won’t drink. There, now!”—New
York Tribune.
A British Coast Defense Scheme.
Major General Crease of the British
royal marine artillery has devised a new
scheme for the coast defense of Britain.
His plan .is to build 18 floating batteries
of 11,500 tons each, thickly armored from
deck to keel so aa to be practically torpedo
proof, but of such light draft that they
can fight in shallow waters. They are to
be armed each with 16 heavy guns in four
two story turrets and manned by naval
militia. He would have besides nine “ bat
tleship exterminators,” armored destroy
ers of great speed, supplied with a ram,
torpedo tubes and light guns. The cost
would be 1100,000,000. General Creaseis
now on tho retired list.
Novel Way to Celebrate.
The ruling prince of the Indian state of
Rampore has rather a novel way of cele
brating the birth of a daughter. A week’s
pay has been deducted from every state
employee. The hope is expressed, and just
ly, too, that to make things equal the
nawab will give tho state employees a
bonus of a week’s pay in the event of a
royal funeral.
