A Story For IJltle Folks.
A f mall girl about eight years was
playing in the conservatory. She was
sewing doll bonnets, w l < n she heard a
piteous cry. Looking arouud she saw a
little bird tryiDg to liy, but alas! its wing
had been broken. Etta rose from the
floor and went toward the bird. Lifting
it up she found one of the wings bleeding.
Etta bathed the bird and gave it
some crumbs. She wrapped it in some
flannel and laid it where she found it.
Near the bird she put some crumbs for
she had seen a flock of birds approaching
the window. After doing this she hid and
watched the birds. They ate heartilyt
then came to where Etta stood. They
llocked about her and sang to their
heart's content, thanking her for her
kindncfs. Then they picked up then
comrade and flew away.

of age and she never enjoyed good
health any more, and was a sufferer

She married Mr. Jack Cooper three

LETTER FROM AN
OLD UNION BOY.
Far Away in Germany'?Sees Miny
Things and lins Many Experiences?Letter
That Will Entertain
Yonng and Old.
Kiel, Germ., June 28, 1903Dear
:
Yoar letter of the 11th inst. was
received yesterday. I was glad indeed
to hear frem you, for I had
been looking for a letter for a long
time. You said in your letter that
you wrote to me in February, 1902;
and addressed your letter to Augusta,
Ga. At that date I was in Fort
la France, Martinique. We had
been gone about two weeks when
that eruption of Mount Peleo took
place. I wrote you last time from
Naples, Italy, if I remember correctly,
We stayed in Naples about
twenty days.
On our way up the Western coast
of Italy we stopped in Leghorn,
Margautta Bay and Genoa. At
Genoa I saw the house in which Co
lumbus was born, and many other
interesting sights. From Genoa we
went to Nice, France, where we were
joined by the Albany. The fleet
was then composed of the Chicago,
(flag ship.) Cincinnati, Albany and
Machias. The Raleigh joined us a
few weeks later. On April 2!Uh the
fleet went to Marsailles, France, to
meet President Loubet on his way
from Algueas, Africa. lie caine
into Marseilles on the afternoon of
the 30th, on a big six stack cruiser,
the Joan de Arc. As she came in
the President was standing on the
after bridge with his staff, As we
fired 21 guns and gave him three
cheers he took off his hat and bowed
to us. We went back to Villa,
France, a small town about four
miles from Nice, to meet the U. S.
3. Buffalo and get some ammunition
and supplies. YVe lay there a month
and then the fleet split up and the
Raleigh, Cincinnati and Albany
went to China, the Buffalo to New
York and the Chicago and Machias
left for Lisbon, Portugal. On our
way we stopped two days in Marsailles
to go in dry dock, and for a
few hours in Gibraltar. We arrived
in .Lisbon on June 5th and were
Lisbon" we"
Hampton, Eng. where wo were
joined by the battle ship Kersargo
We came from South Hampton here.
The threo larger ships going around |
the Northern coast of Denmark and 1
we went by the way of the Kiel
canal. We steamed about twenty
miles up the Elbe river and from
there we went through some of the
most picturesque country I have yet
'seen. The canal is sixty miles in
length and is just wide enough for
two ships to pass.
On the afternoon of the 24th the
Kaiser's yacht came in. As soon as
he was sighted he was greeted with
the booming of guns from all of the
ships in the harbor. As he passed
the ship he was standing on the forward
bridge and as we gave him
three cheers he saluted the ship. In
all there are about twenty men of
wnr anil aoaIi a?a QQ ? ?? ?
? guua
in two minutes and twelve seconds,
that is six hundred and sixty guns
in all, so you can imagine what a
roar filled the air. The King ate
breakfast aboard the battle ship Ker
sarge yesterday. Since we have
been here we have fired over two
hundred and fifty rounds of saluting
cartridges which contain two pounds
of powder each, making a total of
500 pounds. All of the ships have
fired as many, so in all there have
been over 5000 pounds of powder
burned here in the last few days.
Kiel is the nicest place we have
yet visited, and we were royally received
by the people ashore and the m
sailors of the German fleet. Last *"

spared from the ship were invited
aboard of the German cruiser Wint
zenberg by her officers and highly
entertained by officers and men. If
there is any ill feeling in Germany
against the Americans I fail to find
it. Everywhere you go here you
are welcomed. In all of the public
places you see German and American
flags entwined. A dollar will
go further hero than any place 1
have yet visited.
We go from here to the mouth of
the Thames river, where we are to
take part in a great naval review. I
think I will visit London if we get
as near as that. I fear I will tire
vou with my travels, so I will close
f ir this tim<?.
