upon this that the Norwalk Library was

se'f with enthusiasm as to its location,
appoinments, and details of administra-

most gratifying to the committee of the

bi'arisn, to have the library receive
such competent and unstinted praise.

. Chased by a Sea Lion.
Gilbert Belleque went to the beach
the other day without his gun. It was'
a pleasant, warm day in the sunshine,
when sea lions like to come ashore and
sleep in the sand. When Gilbert came
.to the cape he saw in a small circular
sandy cavity at the base of the cape a
large sea lion lying still, quietly sleep-
ing in the sunshine.
When Gilbert first came in sight of
the lion. he thought it was dead, but
when he came within'a few feet of it
and threw a stone at it he discovered it
was alive. ~ . .
When the rock struck him he became
angry and, seeing his assailant so near,
made for him. Then an exciting race
was, had for fifteen or twenty steps.
The pursued and frightened young man
was very active, and soon mounted a
ledge of rocks near by, which was sev-
eral feet high and was out of danger of
the monstrous lion. From the high and
safe position he occupied he was then
master of the situation.
He hurled rocks at the monster as a
matter of amusement and, ,_,revenge.
They would bound off like rubber balls
thrown on a. stick of timber. The ani-
lmal tried to fight the stones for awhile
as they struck it, but finally went off to
its little cave and went to sleep once
more, without having done any damage
or sufiered'any great inconvenience in
the encounter. -— Tillamook Ocean

Russia During the Rebellion.
Russian war vessels remained in New
York Harbor for some months during
the rebellion. It was believed at the
time that the Russian Admiral had seal-
ed orders to do something if certain
events happened; as the events didn’t
happen, or, at all events, as the Admiral
did nothing, no one learned what was in
the sealed orders.
The Cuban Flag.
The flag‘ consists of five horizontal
stripes. three blue, two white; instead
of aunion there is a red triangle, the
base of which forms the hoist of the
flag; the triangle bears a single five
pointed white star. The flag was do
vised by Lopez.
Perils of a Great City.
We are thankful every day that we
live in the country. We have long
wanted to visit New York, but we are
afraid to. A man, from Iowa, 3 har-
ness maker of good reputation, went to
New York lately to see the sights. In
buyiuga piece of plug chewing tobacco
hes carelessly showed a $5 bill. A
strange woman who saw the money
immediame fell on his neck and
said:
“Oh, William. \Villiam. why did you
desert me!” . . ‘ _.
The harness maker from Iowa had
never seen the woman before, but she
haflhim arrested, saying she was mar-
ried to him in 1869. He was finally
compelled to give her the $5 bill to get
rid of her.—-Atchison Globe.
