paulon In eo many battles, and over
It he hesitates long, for be knows that
the methodical king likes to see every
officer with his watoh about him, and
he Is fond of asking the hour.
But money most be hod, and the
watch has to go

veteran attaches to It the flattened
bullet of Kunersdorf, which he still
preserves as a relic.
Thus equipped, and with the aamy.

very sore heart beneath his torn unl-l
form, the old man goca up to the
palace.
Now, as ill-luck will have it, jnst as
he comes np the steps the ehaln gets
loose and drags out the bullet along
with it.
Ils puts It hastily beak, hoping that
no one has notloed It; but unhappily
there Is at that moment looking out of
an adjoining window the very last
man whom ho would have wished to
see him—a French wit whe la on a
visit to..the king.
Fond of misohlef as a monkey, and
rejoicing in every opportunity of mak-
ing other people look foolish, the ma-
licious jester looks upon this Involun-
tary betrayal of poverty ns a first-rate
joke, and hurries off to tell the king.
“Your majesty,” says he, “when
Colonel llaafeldt comes in jnst ask him
what time it is, epd you'll see. some
thing comical."
The king looked rather stern, per-
haps feeling conscience-stricken nt the
sndden remembrance of his old efcr-,
rant's careworn face, and the little
notice he had lately taken of him.
lint Just at that moment Inoame the
colonel.
“Are you not a little late this morn-
ing. colonel?” asked Frederick. “Out
with your watch, and let me see what
time it is." . '
The old soldier saw In a moment by
the Frenchman's spiteful grin the
snare that had been laid for him, but
he fsoed the trial like a man.
Without hesitating a moment he
pulled out the flattened ball, and
holding it up to the king,.said quietly;
“This watch, sire, keeps but one
time—it tells me that I mast be ready
at any hour to die for onr majesty.”
Frederick shot a glance at the mali-
cious Frenchman, before which the
latter recoiled as from a blow, and
then taking off his watch, said with a
look of emotion rarely seen on that
iron face;
“Take this, my old comrade, as the
gift not of your king but of yonr
friend, and to-morrow you shall see
that 1 hare not forgotten the field of

And sure enough the very next
morning Colonel llasfeldt received a 1

A few deya ago as Charles Sllaa
was walking on the beach near Far
Hookaway, L. I., he saw aa animal
somewhat resembling a seal asleep on
the sands. It was of a yellowish white
color with black rings on its back like
those of a zebra Disturbed by the
approach of Silas it started toward
him, showing Its tusks. The'only
weapon Sllaa had was a small stick,
and this waa snapped in two by tha
teeth of the smlmal. A heavier olpb
was secured and the sea dog wCa
killed after a stubborn fight. U had
a long snout-Uke nose, with whiskers
about the nostrils. The ears were
short and rouuded. The fore logs
were short, with long sharp claws

A Pulsesed Straam.
The people of Poru, Ind., are very
much wrought up over the condition
of the Wabash river, on which they
depend for drinking water, and
which, they assert, la poisoned by the
refuse turned Into it by the Wabash
Paper mills, some fourteen miles up
tho river at Wabash. A committee
from Peru went to Wabash, the other
day, to persuade the* proprietors of the
mills to not turn their waste Into the
stream. They failed to come to any
satisfactory understanding, and say
that they will apply to tho courts for
an Injunction. It Is claimed that
much sickness and death has boon
caused at Peru by the impurities be-
ing discharged into the river by the
mills. 1-t Is only a few days since the
United States supreme court rendered

of'Indianapolis against the American

and put on trial. Mr. Grimes was put

ring had been given him by the wo-

Ages ago, in tho geological time
known to the, scientists as the tri-
assic period, tho Connecticut river
valley ana,perhaps, the whole eastern
portion of what is now the North
American continent, was inhabited
by a gigantlo species of two and four- |
footed reptilos. At Portland In the
famous brownstone quarries, scores
of tracks of these oreatures hare
boen found and there are probably !
hundreds of them left In that remark-
able ledge that will be unearthed by j
the geologists of tho future. At first
these tracks wore attributed to a
gigantic species of extinct birds, but
