And She Didn’t Propose to be‘Locltcd Up as Insane for Doing it. A Chicago girl we! in Scotland. She had made arrangements at’ the office of the steamer in Glasgowto telegraph her the hour to be decided upon for the ‘ sailing of the ship she intended to take. Then she partook herself to Highland wilds in peace. She re- ceived no telegram, but on the day set for the sailing of her steamer she ar- rived in Glasgow, and after leaving her baggage at a hotel went to the stcnmcr’s office to make inquiries. She was told there that the boat was even then leaving the wharf at Glasgow, but by taking train to Greenock she might overtake it at the port. She rushed back to her hotel, saw her bag- gage dashed upon a cab, caught the train for’ Greenock, and got there in time to see the ocean liner pulling splendidly out to sea. She beckoned to a. man with a small tug, declaring that she must catch the steamer, and in a few minutes more was steaming madly after the big ship. The Captain stopped the liner at the frantic gestures of appeal from the men on the tug, and the Chicago girl was helped over the side of the steam- cr, while the captain stood by and made a few remarks. A little later the new passenger found herself lock- ed into her stateroom by the steward- ess. She rang her bell, got her key from the outside from the steward, who answered the bell, and when the ship's doctor came down to see the passenger believed to be insane he found. the door locked on the inside. Then the captain came, and at his thunderous order the Chicagovgirl un- locked her stateroom door. The Cap- tain’s demeanor was not childlike nor bland, and his language was suited to sailors in a storm. But the Chicago girl stood her ground. She explained through the blue-streaked air about the Captain that she was no more insane lhan he was, and that she had a pm- icct right, in her opinion, to stop an ocean liner. She had engaged her passage on that particular steamer. This was her own stateroom. The company had broken faith with her in not notifying her of the hour of sailing, according to the express agreement of the company’s servants in the Glasgow office. But she had not broken her faith with the company. She had agreed to sail on that particular ship; she had paid her passage weeks before; she was now sailing on it, the, Captain could not deny that! And it had cost her a good deal extra to catch this steamer, too‘. That last straw broke the back of the Captain’s anger, and his stern face melted into a smile. He made friends with the Chicagoan and treated her with distinguished consideration dur- ing all;of1’the voyage to New York. W but she paid the man on the tug the lady never knew. She declared that she gave him whatever she had left of British coin before she began her now historic scramble up the side of the ocean liner. , Sevehifec’n Adres of Wine.

THE- E, V J‘JNING AN ORPHANED FAWN’S TRUST. Wot “’ith its mother. Biood, the Young Deer Came to a. Boy for Protection. A young boy with a pet fawn trot- ting behind him attracted attention on a recent afternoon on the White House road in Portland. The little creature was perfectly tame, and on the ap- proach'of a team would timidly run to the boy’s side as though seeking protection. To a. well-known insur- ance man who was on the road driving with his wife, the lad told the story of his acquisition of the fawn. Some weeks ago the boy was fishing on the Tualatin river. Fish were plen- tiful, and, engrossed in the sport, the lad kept his eyes on the ripple, taking no cognizance of what was going on behind him. A bleating sound from the bank above him he paid no atten- tion to, thinking it was some stray lamb. The bleating was repeated 9. number of times, but the boy was fish- ing, and the trout were rising freely. down the river bank, and a little cold nose was pushed into his hand. Look- ing down, the boy found the fawn standing beside him, apparently with- out fear, the pleading look in its big. brown eyes asking help. Its neck and one side of the head was covered with blood, still wet, its limbs barely sup- porting the frail body. The boy’s first thought was that the waif had been wounded, and in at— tempting to reach water had come out on the river bank at the point where he was fishing, and through sheer wakness, being unable to go further, had tumbled down to the stream, landing by his side. Picking the little thing up in hiS‘arms, the lad waded out on the ripple, and washing the blood from the fawn’s neck, found it uninjured. Some pot hunter had shot the mother doc, and with her dying strength she had plunged back through the timber to reach the baby deer, born but a few days before. The fawn had evidently become alarmed and started to find the buck, its one point of location be- ing the runv’vay at the river, where, during its few days of life, the two had come nightly to drink. The boy, who gave his name as Frank Harrison, took the fawn to his ,home, where there was a baby brother and a nursing bottle, and together Mrs. Harrison is bringing up her own baby and the orphaned deer. It was less than an hour before the fawn had accustomed itself to the new surround- ings, 'and was perfectly at home. It at once attached itself to the boy, Frank, seeming to look on the lad as its natural protector, and now wher- ever the lad goes the fawn follows.— Portland Telegram. ' "r——~r~———-° A STRANGE POWER. The Influence a. Boy Has Over Vicious An- imals and Wild Birds. It is a curious thing, the . power which some human beings have over animals. There is in Lowell, Mass, a boy, differing in no respect from his companions, who has this power in a marked degree. Every stray dog or cat in the neighborhood knows‘zhim, and loves to be in his company. A vicious horse which the stablemen can with difiiculty handle, will stand like a lamb While he harnesses and unharnesses him. , The doves fly around'him, and in the woods the wild birds apparently regard him as a friend and ally. The most remarkable exhibition of his power which has long been known and commented on by his friends, was given the other day. A large and vi- cious rat was captured in the stable in one of those traps which permit of easy ingress and no egress. The men ° who were looking at the animal were afraid to go near the trap, the animal showed so much terror, but the boy, when he beheld the imprisoned crea- ture, fearlessly put out his finger and stroked its head, the rat manifesting as much pleasure as would a cat or a dog. Several days have passed sincew then, and the stablemcn are still afraid of their capture, bet he has grown so tame and familiar with the boy as to allow him to take him out and put him in the trap, will come at his whis- tie, and manifests every appearance of joy at his pieseuce. There seems to be no question but what the boy could train that wt to perform almost any feat within the power of such an ani- 11131.

Odd Bowed com. ‘A fact well known to farmers is that the rows of grains on an ear of corn are always-even in number,” said A. D. Catlin, of Tolorio, Ill. “There may be eight, ten, twelve, fourteen or sixteen rows, but never nine, eleven, thirteen or fifteen. This fact and the knowledge of it cost several men in my neighborhood very dearly a few days ago. A farmer who raises a small crop of corn, and who has always been regarded as of rather weak intellect, concluded that he saw a chance to make some bets. Early in the sea- son he carefully scraped from a dozen earsof corn just formed one of the rows. The corn ripened, and the re- maining rows grew together so as to hide the evidence of the one removed ever having existed. Then the far- mer offered to bet either that the oth— ers could not or that he could find ears of Com with odd rows. He had no trouble in getting some very good bets on the latter proposition, but, of course, none on the first. He then found the ears he had fixed, and made as much money on the dozen ears as he did on the entire crop of corn. Now, any sugggestlon of corn with odd rows is provocation for a. fight in that neighborhood—Washington Star. Sea Signaling by Flags.
