A MAJOR AT THIRTEEN.
An Ensign Bearer Who Attractor} Go-
mez’s Attention.
Crccendio de Varona, a young Cuban
who, far from the smoke of battle, is
resting from the rigors of a campaign
in the Pennsylvania State Norma]
School at chst Chester, is probably
the youngest person ever to attain the
rank of major, to have a war record,
and to bear the honorable scar of a
wound received in battle.
A year ago he joined General Gomez 9
and took part in the brilliant raids of 7
that great tactician. As an ensign
bearer the lad participated in the
memorable engagement at E1 Lavado
and Las Petonas. W'ith Generals G0-
mez and Antonio Maceo he crossed the
Sucaro and Moron trocha, and was
present at the battles of Rio Grands.
and lguara. It was during the latter
engagement that while bearing his en-
sign aloft in a desperate charge a
Spanish bullet pierced his right hand,
while another broke the staff of the
ensign. Nothing daunted, he picked
up the broken standard, and waving it
aloft continued on the charge.
General Gomez, in a special order,
promoted 1’20 young soldier to the rank
of liz-utnr; t for his bravery onathat
000'..xlOll. The injury yielded to the
cm, j) surgeon. and Varona rejoined
the forces in the field, marching east—
ward with General Mayia Rodriguez.
He took part in the battle of Mesece
under Rodriguez, Malbias and San.
guade 'l‘annuio. under General Jose
Macco. and Mnfe under General Rabi.
.He finally reached the forces main.

ment, and fought under Generals Rabi
and Rodriguez and later at Guaimoro
under General Lope Recio.
engagement was on October 8 at Cos-
corro under General Gomez, who was
at the time with the government.
The bravery of the lad attracted the
attention of President Cisneros,
bestowed the rank of major upon him
after Cascorro. It was at the joint
suggestion of the President and Gen-
eral Gomez, who recognized the mili-
tary genius of the boy, that he was
sent to his relatives in New York to
be placed in a preparatory school. Af-
ter attaining the necessary English ed—
ucation he will be sent to a military
school, and educated to the profession
of a soldier at the expense of the Cu-
ban government.
The Bear- Was Awake.
A tall. well-dressed Italian was
among .the many guests who attended
a reception recently given to the new
baby hippopotamus in the Central
Park meuagerie. After he had paid
his compliments to the baby hippo the
Italian wandered over to the cage in
which the polar bear is kept. The
bears appeared to be sleeping near
the bars of the. cage. The Italian, who
wore a high silk hat. tried in many
ways to attract the boat’s attention.
At last he took off his hat and held it
temptingly before the bear. lVith a
sudden image the bear struck the hat
out of the hand of the Italian and
dragged it between the bars of his
cage.
The Italian was so greatly surprised
at this manoeuvre that he watched.
{he bear rubbing the hat the wrong
way for some minutes before he called
to his assistance Park Policeman Bray,»
on whose beat the boat’s cage is situ-
ated. Bray responded promptly. but
before 'he could get a stick with which
to draw out the hat the bear had with
one bite taken off the entire crown. He
then turned the but around until he had
got it in a position to suit his fancy,
when he lifted one of his huge paws
and brought it down on the crownless
hat. crushing it ‘tiao a shapeless mass.
The Italian when last seen was walk

handkerchief tic-d over his heml.—-New

Children “120 Never Picked aFlower.
fl‘hirly-fivc boys and girls in Chicago
who recently applied for admission to
the Joseph Medill Summer School
were asked to answer the following
six questions: “\Vere you ever in the
woods? Did you ever see the lake?
Did you ever pick a flower? “'ere you
ever in the park? Did you ever ride in
a wagon behind horses? Did you ever
ride in a car on the railroad?” 011 ex-
amining the answers it was found that
thirty out of thirty-five had never been
in the woods. nineteen had never seen
Lake Michigan, eight had never
picked :1 flower. During the writing
of the answers one little girl was
found to be crying bitterly. On in-
quiry it was discovered that she ‘had
been obliged to, answer no to nearly
all the questions, and “was afraid she
wouldn‘t pass." The. Secretary of the
Bureau of Charities, in relating the in-
cident, said: “She had never seen Lake
Michigan. never picked a flower, never
been in the woods; but she under-
stood perfectly well an examination.”
