HE USED ONLY >ONE MATCH.
When Robbie Board that God Knew Who
Burned the Barn He Confessed.
A barn and ice house belonging to
E Miller, a farmer, near Hartland,
Conn, were destroyed by fire. There
was much mystery as to the origin,“
tramps in the neighborhood bad start-
de the blaze. ‘ '
During the discussion, Robert, the
seven-year-Old son of Farmer Miller,
was very restless. He had some‘sug-
gestions to make himself, and showed
so much concern that attention was
attracted to him. His face grew very
pale, and ,he appeared anxious to re-
tire from the investigation when ques-
tioned as to his knowledge of the fire.
- “Did you start it, Robbie?” his fa-
ther asked. '
“No, sir,” faltered the boy, “I didn’t
know anything about it until I saw
the barn on fire.”
The boy refused to play with the
youngsters in the neighborhood that
afternoon, and seemed worried. When
his father spoke of ‘the awful trouble
that would come to those who started
the fire Robert was silent. He did not
eat his supper at night, and went to
bed very early. .
He knelt at his mother's knee and
said his childish prayers with more
solemnity than usual. When his
mother Spoke of the fire, and said that
the house, and perhaps all the family,
would have been burned but for. the
hard work of the neighbors, Robert
began to cry. .
A few minutes later, after he was
3tucked away in bed for the night,
3 Robert called to his mother.
3 “Momma,” he cried, “did God see
3 whopburned the barn?”
3 “Yes,” his mother said.

The boy sobbed for a few minutes,
and then whispered: .
“Mamma, I only used one match."
3 THE LEOPARD KILLED.
3 A Cow Successfully Protects Her Offspring
from Its Attack.
A man who has spent much time
in the observation of the ways and
habits of the wilder sorts of animals
tells the following curious story of
the audacity of a leopard which paid
a visit by night to the cattle—shed of
a blacksmith: -
‘A native cow had a calf. This be-
ing her firstborn, the mother was ex-
ceedingly vicious, and it was unsafe
fora stranger to approach :her, es-
pecially as her horns were longand
pointed.
The cattle-shed was scooped out of
the hill-side,“ and within a few feet
of the blacksmith’s house. The roof
was thatched. During the night a
leopard, which smelt the presence of
the cow and calf, mounted the roof
of the shed, and began to force an en-
trance by scratching through the
thatch. \
The cow at tithe same time detected
the presence of the leopard, and, ever
mindful of her calf, stood ready 'to
receive the intruder. It is supposed
that upon the leopard's descent it Was
at once pinned 'to 'the ground before
it had time to make its spring.
The noise of a tremendous struggle
aroused the blacksmith, who, with
lantern in his hand, opened the cattle-
s‘hed door and discovered the cow in
a frantic state, butting and tossing to
and fro some large object, which evi-
dently had lost all power of resist-
ance. This was the leopard in the
last gasp. Thef‘big cat” had been run
through the body by the horns of
‘the courageous mother, Whose li‘ttle
calf was nestled in a corner, unheed-
ing the struggle of its brave mother.
Cork Does Not Come from Ireland.
Cork is brought from Spain by ves-
sels which return with grain, and
thus diminish the price of transporta-
tion. The corkwood-is put up in bales
weighing from 1.50 pounds to 160
pounds. The pieces are cut varying
fro-Ina half inch to two and a half
inches in thickness. The stripping
of the tree’s takes place in July and
August. Two cuts are made around
the stem, one a little above the ground
and the other immediately under the
spring of the main branchesf'l‘hen
four longitudinal incisions are made,
the utmost care being taken not to in-
jure the inner bark. The cork is after-
wards removed in the sections into
.which it is cut by inserting under it
the wedge-shaped handles of the in:
struments used in making the incis-
’ ions. After the outer surface has been
scraped and cleaned the pieces are
flattened by beating them over a fire
and submitting them to pressure on a
flat surface. .

, MRS. HENRY WARD BEECHER.
NearlyElghty-six Years Old, Yet Actively
~ Engaged in Literature. ‘
On the 13th of next August Mrs.
Henry Ward Beecher will celebrate
her eighty-sixth birthday; and judg-
ing from present appearances she will
on that occasion greet her children, her
grandchildren, her' great- grandchildren
and a host of other relatives and friends,
with that hearty cheerfulness for which 4
she has always been famous. Since
her recent return to the old homestead
in Brooklyn, where she lived with the
great preacher, and where several of
her children were born, the "venerable
old lady looks, twenty years younger,
and feels‘so.
It was almost a calamity fer her
when adverse circumstances forced Mrs.
Beecher, five or six years ago, to give
' up her house and to move .into a flat
with her penates—mostly treasured
relics of her married life. Brave wom-
an that she is, she bore the setback of
fortune heroically, and settled down in
anapartment house with a fixed deter-
mination to make the best of: it. Some
time ago the present owner of the
Beecher homestead ofiered it to its
former mistress. rent iree. for the rest
of her days. She gratefully accepted,
not without warning her generous friend
that she came from stock noted for its
longevity. Her father, she said, died
prematurely at the age of :72, but her
grandfather might be alive today if he
had not met with a. fatal accident short-
ly after celebrating his one hundredth
birthday. ' ’
MRS. BEECHER. .

In the evening of her life Mrs. Beech-
er is the type of sweet, digpified wom-
anhood. No one has ever seen her in
an unsympathetic mood. The change
in her material condition, her financial
reverses, even the banishment of her
late husband’s hymn book from Plym-
outh Church—which was the unkindest
cut of all—resulted only in emphasizing
the strong side of her disposition. Her
direct income. after Henry . 'Ward
Beecher’s death, was a little over $2,000
a year. ' Plymouth Church did not even‘
allow her twelve months’ salary‘ to
prepare for the battle of life, as has
often been done elsewhere. “I shall
have to go to work, then,” said Mrs.
Beecher, who above all cherishes inde-
pendence. So she became a magazine
and newspaper writer, and has kept at
work ever since. Her modest home re-
mained the meeting place of friendly
gatherings as of old, andshe is still the
leader of Plymouth Church’s social
life.
The Mrs. Beecher of today has snowy
white hair, and her form is much bent.
but aside from occasional fainting spells
her health is comparatively good. She
writes about a thousand words a. day
with her own hand, and every week
contributes a literary article for the
benefit of some charity.

THE DERVISH LOSS IS HEAVY
England's Forces “’1“ Follow Up the
Advantage Gained and Are Passing
on to Dongola—El Hafir
Reported Captured.
KERMA, 0n the Nile, Sept. ‘21.—The
ADSIO-Egyptian expedition occupied Ker.
Ina yesterday morning and is now only
30 miles from Dongola, on which it will
rapidly advance. .
At about 7 o’clock in the morning the
news reached .the expedition, which left
the last camping place, Sherib el Mar, at
down that the dervishes, alarmed at the
size of the column, had deserted the posi-
tion in front of the Anglo Egyptian army.
A party of seven dervishes crossed the
river at 7 :30 a. m., and the artillery, com- ‘
manded by Young, opened fire against the
west bank, where the dervishes were. in
force with camel, foot, cavalry, armed
sailing boats and one armed steamer.
Between the expeditionary force and
the dervishes were several small islands,
but the fire directed upon the dervishes
was excellently aimed and compelledthem
to leave their positions and boats almost
immediately. -
In ‘the meantime three of the Anglo-‘
Egyptian gunboats had hovc in sight,
steaming slowly toward the dervish camp .
and firing rockets, nine pounders and
maxims.
The dervishes replied with the fire of
two seven pounders. one of which was
quickly silenced by one of the Anglo-
Egyptian horse batteries.
Commander Colville of the British navy,
on the river gunboat Tamai, pressed for-
ward and was suddenly subjected to a
very hot fire from dervish rifiemen hid-
den in pits. Commander Colville received
a slight wound in his right wrist and re-
tired slowly out of the enemy’s range in
order to use his maxim guns with more
effect, which he subsequently did.
Advancing on Dongola.
TheAnglo-Egyptian side of the river
was then engaged, a few companies open-
ing fire, and as they did so a field battery
under Peak of the British artillery, which
had taken up a suitable position farther‘
north, also began Work. Both the Anglo-
Egyptian batteries directed their fire on
the enemy’s fort, Where a second of their
seven poundcrs had been placed. The
firing of the Anglo—Egyptian batteries was
excellent. Three successive shells from
Young’s battery fell right inside of the
fort. The dervish loss must have been
considerable. All the While the gunboats
kept up a fierce firing. At one time they
advanced boldly past the enemy’s intrench-
ed rifle position, replying to the dervish
fire with heavy maxim discharges. '
Sir William Kitchener and staff, who
were watching the proceedings from a
knoll .on the east bank, saw three gun-
boats pluckily force their way past the
dervish fort. Before finally forcing the
passage, the cavalry, infantry and the
maxim batteries took up new positions
only 11,200 yards away from the dervishes
and poured a heavy fire into the boats of
the enemy. These boats the dervishes at-
tempted to take with them in their re-
treat. Whilo‘covered by an attack on the
dervish fortifications the Anglo-Egyptian
gunboats' and steamers moved steadily
past. These boats. are now steaming as
fast as possible in the direction of Dongola.
Sunk the Dervish Steamer.
During the firing upon the dervish beats
the Anglo-Egyptian field battery succeed-
ed in sinking the dervish steamer. When
the shot struck the steamboat of the ene-
my, the boat overturned. When the fire
from the Anglo-Egyptian forces had thor-
oughly honeycombed the enemy’s first po-
sition, the dervishes retreated in a north-
westerly direction. Nothing is known of
their programme. -
All of the future movements of the
Anglo-Egyptian forces depend upon these
movements of the dervishes. If the der-
vishes evacuate El Hafir, tho Anglo-Egyp-
tian forces Will probably cross the river
and will doubtless make a forward move-
ment. The steamers will probably be or-
dered forward, while the Anglo-Egyptian
squadron of cavalry Will be dispatched to
the front for the purpose of raising clouds .
of dust, thus impressing the dervishes
with the idea that the whole Anglo;Egyp-
tian force is advancing. It now seems as.
though the whole dervish force had occu-
pied El Hafir, leaving the women and
children at Dongola. , »
The loss of the Anglo-Egyptian forces
was comparatively trifling,only Command-
er Colville and one interpreter being
slightly wounded.
El Hafir Reported Captured.
The loss of the dervishes must have
been considerable, though they sheltered
themselves behind walls and trees.
The maxim guns under the command
of Lawrie must have inflicted heavy dam-
age to the enemy.
will be far-reaching. The statements of
the dervish prisoners are to the efi'ect that ‘
the enemy intended offering resistance at
Korma, but that when they saw the size
of the Anglo-Egyptian: forces they were
panic stricken. All of the members of
the Anglo-Egyptian army are in the best
of Spirits and eager for news of the-ad- _ T
vancipg steamers. .
Peyton’s squadron of cavalry yesterday
afternoon met the dervish cavalry patrol.
Five of the dervishes came forward and
were fired on by the members of the An-
gloEgyptian squadron. One of the sol-
diers. was killed during the engagement
which followed. Two of the dervishes
were killed, and the rest fled.
-_CAIRO, Sept. 20.—Advices just received
from Karma are to the effect that El Hafir
has been captured by the Anglo—Egyptian
forces.
