Her Announcement.?It was a street of many babies and uttle Sallle, having no small sister or brother to wheel in the perambulator processions of late afternoon and Saturday morning, was constrained to make believe when she might, with the young children of a well-supplied neighbor. At last came the happy day when into Sallies own household came a tiny sister. Sallie, being informed of the fact, scarcely waited to bestow an adoring caress upon the pink and flannel wrapper bundie before dashing across the street to ring a rapid peal on Mrs. Jones' doorbell. "I Just wanted to tell you," she replied breathlessly, when that lady made startled appearance, "that we've a real live baby of our own at our house now and that we're going t< keep it. "I shall neither borrow nor lend!" He Wanted it Clear.?Carroll Phelps Poulteney, a Wheeling clubman, told a story the other day about a west Virginian. "The total dryness of our state," he said, "made a certain Bluefield man prize liquor as he'd never done before. He set off for Atlantic City after a month or two of dryness and there, on his first day's bath, he had the misfortune to be nearly drowned. "But a sunburned lifeguard saved him. Dripping and unconscious, th lifeguard laid him across a barrel. A bottle was uncorked. It approached his lips. "But at this point the Bluefield man's pale lips fluttered, and his weak hand waved the bottle feebly away. " 'Not yet, boys," he faltered. 'Not yet. Roll me on the barrels first and get some of the salt water out of me. If you don't it'll weaken the liquor."? St. Louis Globe-Democrat. That Risky Scotch Whisky.?A Scotch minister and his servant who were coming home from a wedding, began to consider the state into which their potations at the wedding feast hnd ipft thMTi savs the New York Globe. Sandy," said the minister, "just stop a minute here till 1 go ahead, Maybe I don't walk very steady and the good wife might remark something not Just right." He walked ahead of the servant for a short distance and then asked: "How is it? Am I walking straight?" "Oh, ay," answered Sandy, thickly, "ye're a* recht?but who's that who's with you?" Conscientious.?Mrs. Trotter, being a conscientious woman, wanted a conscientious maid. It took a long search through employment agencies to find one sufficiently well grounded In the rudiments of religion. The ' maid finally secured was a new arrival and Irish. Among her first in structions was the art of saying her 1 mistress was not at home when she was. One visitor who called under these conditions is responsible for this story: "Is Mrs. Trotter in?" se said, when the door was opened in response to her ring. "No," replied Bridgest. stoutly, "she's not at home and may God forgive me for the He I'm tellin' ye.'" Whereupon she slammed the door in the visitor's face and that was the end of it.?New York Times.

"Oh. yes, I believe it." responded his customer; "but I wish in future you'd see that they don't drop their tears into our can." Against the Rules.?The new attendant stood sentry at the door of the lo cal picture gallery. Presently a visitor strolled up and was about to enter, when the attendant seized him by the arm and asked him for his walking stick. "My walking stick?" exclaimed the man, astonished. "1 nave not got one.' "Then you must go and get one." replied the attendant. My orders are not to allow any one to enter without leaving his walking stick with me." A Lesson in Spelling.?The lawyer was Scotch, and the judge was English. The case in argument concerned certain water rights, and the lawyer had frequently to use the word "water." which he pronounced very broad.

THE SEPOY REBELLION How England Dealt With Famous Uprising of Nations. One morning in February, 1857, a stranger native appeared in a village in Oude, carrying two chupatties, or cakes, and ordered the person who took them to make and bake ten more, and distribute them by twos to the five nearest villages. In a few days the whole countryside was alive with natives carrying cakes. Like fire through flax. the mysterious craze spread. Few knew what it portended, the Europeans least of all, but most people were agreed that it was a signal of some kind, and that mischief was brewing. Very few precautions, however, appear to have been taken. Indeed, the majority of the British officers absolutely refused to believe that the native troops whom they commanded, could ever prove "untrue to their salt." How utterly they were mistaken first became apparent at Meerut, where on Sunday, May 5, the troopers of the Third Bengal cavalry broke into open revolt, shot down their officers on the parade ground, and afterwards rode amuck through the cantonments and the bazaar, pillaging, burning and murdering all the Europeans they came across. The sepoys, after a few minutes' hesitation, joined in the orgy of slaughter, sparing neither age nor sex in their blind fury. Delicate English women were hunted like rats through the blazing streets, and hewn in pieces with the razor-edged tulwars carried by most nt ? Vi e native cnlriierlv nt thnt time. Little children were impaled on bayonets, or had their brains dashed out on the stone pavements. Then, when there were no more Europeans left at large to kill, the mutineers marched off to Delhi, nearly 40 miles away to the southwest. When the Third cavalry galloped into the city, shrieking, "Deen! Deen!" (kill! kill!) brandishing their bloodstained sabres and slaying in a casual way every stray Englishman or Englishwoman they came across, Lieutenant George Willoughby, of the Bengal artillery, quick to grasp the situation, hurriedly gathered together eight European non-commissioned officers and men, and hurried with them to the magazine. This was a huge building, of immense strength, and stored with munitions of war sufficient to have armed half India. Young Willoughby realized that if these fell into the hands of the mutineers all was lost, and neither he nor any of those with him hesitated for a moment. While seven of the men kept at bay the sepoys who, following hard on their heels, were by now clamoring at the gate, he and a man named Scully broke open some barrels of powder, laid a train, and blue up the entire magazine. All Delhi rocked with the shock of the explosion, and hundreds of sepoys were killed. But four of the nine heroes inside the building escaped death by a miracle. The remaining five were blown to pieces. Next to the blowing up of the Delhi magazine, as an instance of individual heroism, comes the blowing up of the Cashmere gate. This formed the main entrance into the capital, and was defended by a deep ditch, across which stretched a single charred beam. Over this frail support darted an English officer, Lieutenant Home, followed in Single nie oy iwu sergeants anu icn sappers, each carrying a bag containing 25 pounds of gunpowder. These they threw hurridly in a heap before the gate, then set fire to them. Every man of the little party was either killed or wounded by the explosion, or by bullets of the defenders, but the gate was shattered sufficiently to allow of a storming party forcing its way through. The famous Hodson, of Hodson's Horse, was one of the first men in, and he made straight for the royal palace, the residence of the aged king of Delhi, and his two sons and one grandson. But the four had fled. Hodson, with a handful of men. tracked them to a sacred shrine known as Humayon's tomb, dragged them forth, and with his own hand, in the presence of 6,000 or 7,000 of the king's own retainers, he shot the three royal princes dead, first, as an added degradation, compelling them to strip naked. They had killed Englishmen in cold blood, and in circumstances, in some cases at all events, of hideous cruelty, and their hands were red with the innocent blood of Englishwomen and children. Who sh.ili say, then, that their punishment was excessive ? The storming of the Shah Nujeef. an immense and solidly built mosque, near Lucknow. was another gallant affair. It was held by the mutineers in full force, with many guns. Sir Colin Campbell had brought up Peel's naval brigade, but even his agile bluejackets were unable to scramble up the 20-foot high walls of the outer enclosure, and there were no scaling ladders. They got in at last, with the assistance of the 93rd Highlanders, and a drummer boy named Ross, "12 years old and small for his age," clambered like a cat to the summit of the great guilded dome of the mosque, waved his little Highland bonnet in the air as a signal to the beleaguered garrison in the residency, that we were in possession, and blew shrilly on his bugle the first few bars of "The Cock of the North.' The signals were both seen and heard at the residency. its flag being lowered and raised three times in acknowledgement. DUNKIRK IMPREGNABLE French Expert Describes Artificial Lake Defenses. Ardouin-Dumazet, the military topographer, writing in Paris La Liberie, describes the difficulties the Germans would meet if they sought to advance on Dunkirk. "Any one not a topographer," he says, "in crossing these regions would see little difference between them and Belgian Flanders. There are the same scrub oaks, the same low ground and (he same canals. But let the Germans once reach Urnus and all the approaches to Dunkirk suddenly will be transformed into a vast lake twelve kilometers (7i miles) long by six kilometers (."?:} miles) wide. It will be necessary merely to stop the steam pumps and the windmills which now remove the water from the depressions and open the Dunkirk dykes at high tide. "Moreover, the immediate environs of Dunkirk can be flooded all along the canals by stopping the outflow at low tide, and thus the city itself could be attached only through a series of narrow causeways at an enormous sacrifice of men." Two months ago Dunkirk was a busy seaport, with hundreds of sailing vessels going out of the harbor at dawn and returning by nightfall, and scores of freight steamers darkening the sky with great clouds of smoke. Today none but military transports enter the harbor. Most of the fishing vessels are tied up at the quays; the big steamers lie idle; canal boats that dare not venture out congest the waterways that are among the busiest arteries of commerce in Dunkirk in days of peace. There is something impressive in the sight of hundreds of these freight boats, low narrow craft, with perhaps a mast or two on which to hoist a sail when the wind blows. Here war, which has paralyzed industry in the north country, has paralyzed commerce; the vnune men who manned these boats i have gone to war, only the old folk and the women and very young remain. The boats dance up and down on the water as a ripple stirs them or as a bit of breeze causes them to bump against their neighbors. Their season this year closed long before the coming of snow and ice. Dunkirk suffered heavily when the war began because, like so many other seacoast towns, it was deprived of considerable revenue during the summer months from tourists. The beach of Dunkirk is at Malo-les-Bains, a few miles from the harbor, a spot where the large tourist hotels are today either boarded up or housing soldiers. HOUSE OF HOHENZOLLERN. Story of Its Rise from Kingdom to c : ? bmpiivi Two kings have ruled over Prussia when Frederick II (the Great) came to the throne. The vainglorious Frederick I, had acquired the title of king and prodded the masses into better rudiments of education. Frederick William I, the most miserly of monarchs, had builded a military machine with infinite care and labor. In their time, says the Spokane Spokesman-Review, neither had done much to advance Prussia, but the result of their efforts gave Frederick the Great a lever to pry his way into the first rank of kingdoms. Before his elevation to the throne Frederick had been a prince of small promise. He took little interest in military life or affairs of state. He dallied away his time writing mediocre verse and aping the school of philosophers then powerful in Europe. But once king he changed. He adopt ed the economy of his father, without the miserliness. His hate for the army turned to passion favoring it. It almost seems that some superhuman destiny watching over the Hohenzollerns turned the mush of Prince Frederick into the steel of Frederick the Great. Frederick's prime ambitions were to make the monarchs of Austria, France and England respect him as much as they did each other, and to round out liis dominions. Perhaps, too, there came to him the first imperial longings which grew stronger and stronger until William 1 was crowned at Versailles. Prussia had followed, more or less servilely, in the wake of imperial Austria until Frederick the Great. He resolved to cut loose from that alliance and contest with Austria for the leadership of the German states. When the emperor Charles VI died he seized Silesia. Empress Marie Louisa of Austria, resisted, but no military or diplomatic pressure could force the grim Prussian ruler to give up what he had taken. Might was right with Frederick. With a population one-fifth as large as France he had a larger and better army. Treaties were less than "scraps ,xf no nor M Prncuin miiat rulp fipr many and the end justified the means. Something of his tenacity penetrated the minds of the other monarchs in the years following Silesia's seizure, and resulted in a coalition of France, Austria and Russia against him. For seven years he waged an unequal war against three foes, but finally, by trading and playing with their jealousies and showing a remarkable determinedness, he triumphed. Silessia was secured to Prussia. Prussia was tripped of men and < wealth when the war ended. But ten years after the waste it had arisen to greater numbers and greater wealth, a recuperation almost miraculous. Frederick continued the game of politics, engineering the first division of Poland, and when he died in 1786, Prussia was paramount in northern Germany. The reigns of Frederick William II and Frederick William 111 were the black hours in Prussia's history. The first, a nephew of Frederick the Great, tried to continue his predecessor's policy, but lacked the force. Little occur- | red in his eleven years of rule. Frederick William III was weak in nurDose and character. Napoleon rose and fell during his reign. Prussia suffered the deepest humiliation under him. The star of the Hohenzollern was eclipsed by that of Austerlitz. But in this time, when the Hohenzollern prince lacked the ability to push his fortunes upward. Destiny again stepped in.

Cotton Insurance t Cotton Insurance, like that covering any other kind of property, is based on a specified percentage on the $100. The cost for this class of insurance on the farm is $3.50 for $100 for one year, which means that if a bale of cotton is worth $33, it will cost $1.16 to insure it for 12 months, or about 9 cents per month. If the insurance is carried for less than one year the cost per bale per month will be higher; for instance if it is carried y four months the cost per month will be 14$ cents per month. ? I am prepared to furnish insurance in Time Tried and Fire Teeted Companies, not only on Cotton In the Country or Elsewhere, but also on all other kinds of burnable property anywhere, and solicit the business of all who need insurance mai insures ?nu service.
