HARRY BLAKE'8 HEROISM.
First Prize Story by Thlrteen-Year-Old
Detroit Boy.
ThomaB Longyonr and Harry Dlako
woro enemies, or, rather, Thomas was
Harry's enemy, for tho latter boro
no Ill-feeling toward tho other. It
all Btarted becauso Harry Dlako had
won tho silver medal which Dr. Man
ton, tho principal of tho Kemp high
ochool, had offered for the best
original composition. Thomas had set
his heart on winning this prize, and
consequently felt very bitterly toward
Harry, who had Bnatched tho covotod
medal from him.
Mr. Longyear, the father of Thomas,
was n rich man, nnd had much In
fluenco In Kemp, whllo Harry'8 par
ents wero very poor. Tho money
stringency threw Mr. Dlako out of
work, which proved very bad for his
largo family of five. This was Thomas'
chance; ho told his father that Harry's
faJier was not honest and that ho
.Pulled Himself and His Companion Up,
would steal at tho first chanco ho had,
Thomas waB Mr. Longycar's Idol, ho
lng his only child, whllo Mrs. Long
year had been dead for somo years,
Tho boy's fooltph Btory was thorcforo
uellovcu by tno rona parent, wiioso m
fluonco then kept Mr. Dlako out of
work.
Tho Dlnko family soon began to
find It hard to get food and fuel, nl
though Harry hunted for employment
ovory day nnd part of tho night.
On this particular wlntei evening
lio was walking homo by tho sldo of
the Mohawk river, talking bitterly to
himself.
"Why," said ho, "do somo people
have so much, whllo wo havo so lit
tie?"
Dut Just then all thoughts wore ban
ished from his mind as a loud call
for help came from tho river. Ho
flung off his coat and rushed down to
tho very edgo of tho water. Looking
anxiously out, he saw a largo hole in
the ice, while, struggling In Its con
ter, was a boy.
Without stopping to think, Harry
ran rapidly over the lco and plunged
Into tho cold water. Coming to the
surface, ho looked around and saw
nothing; ho waited for a mlnuto nnd
then concluded that the boy hnd gono
down for tho third time. Taking a
deep breath, ho again dovo Into tho
water, and far below him saw tho fig
ure sinking. A few strokes brought
Harry to tho boy's sldo and, taking
hold of him, ho started to rlso. Sud
.denly Harry felt a bump on his head
nud looking up, ho saw lco above him
Tlio .current had carried them away
from tho hole. Frantic with terror,
tho heroic boy strovo to reach tho
placo of safoty, which he know wns a
few feet upstream. His lungs seoniod
bursting, whllo tho limp form dragged
him back. Many times ho felt tempt
ed to let go, but each time he set his
teeth and swam on.
i ,At last, attor great suffering, he
looked up and saw no lco above him
ltlslng to tho top, he took deei:
. .draughts of tho, cool night nlr, which
seemed like nectar, as ho had been
undor water a long time.
Ho caught hold of a treo (hat loaned
.out over tho lco and pulled himself
nnd his unconscious companion up
.Then, for tho first time, he looked at
tho boy'B faco, and was surprised to
find that ho had saved YThomns Long-
year.
On regaining his sonses, Thomns
was very grateful and sooa.aftcr asked
his fathor If ho would give Harry
work." The magnato consonted, and
(the next day Harry and his fathor, too,
wont to work in Mr. Longyear's auto

NESTING BOXES FOR BIRDS.
How You Can Make Friends with Lit
tle Songsters.
There are several rules to bo ob
served In the placing of nesting-boxes
for birds, but nono of them Is moro Im
portant than thnt no food muBt bo put
In or about tho box; nor must It bo
erected In tho immediate vicinity of a
bird-table. To do tho latter is simply
to rob tho possible occupants of tho
one thing which thoy most doslro la
a nesting slto. A bird does not wish
to havo Its homo among tho continual
scullllngs, tho comings and goings, of
other birds; and a nesting box in tho
lmmedtato neighborhood of a bird
tablo is certain to bo' contlnunlly
haunted and raided by spnrows. To
put -food In or about a box 1b even
.orse, for, again, It meroly serves to
attract other birds nnd, which aro
much worse mice and rats. When
onco a nesting box Is made attrncttvo
and accessible to these animals, It bo
comes lmposslblo as a homo for small
birds. Tho latter will know hotter
than to attempt to niako n home thore,
whllo If thoy do attempt It they will

havo littlo chanco of being nblo to
rear their young. Another common
mlstako is to put porches or laddors
or other aids to Ingress to tho hole,
for tho convenience of tho birds.
Equally mlstakon 1b tho common
adaptation of human Ideas of lltness
to the selection of the slto for tho box.
Tho Inexporlenced person Is llkoly to
hunt for nice, sheltered spots In tho
middle of n bush or among the small
twigs of trees, neither of which posi
tions Is In the least whnt a bird do
3lroB. Tho chances aro that any such
location will again be easily accoaslblo
to small four-footed cnoiulcs,, and It
must be remembered thnt It Is theso,
as well as other egg-ateallng spoclos
of blrdB, against which tho small birds
need protection.
Tho slzo of the box Itself la moro
or less a mntter of Indifference, as tho
birds will either 1111 up tho whole area
of the lloor with nesting matorlnl, or
they will build In ono corner if tho
space Is too largo. Still It will prob
ably navo them somo trouble, nnd add
to their comfort, If tho Interior bo not
too roomy. Six or seven Inches
squaro Is a good average slzo for all
the smaller birds, though an old
confectioner's chocolate box is often
occupied with Booming readiness. For
the entrance holo 1V4 Inches In dlam
oter Is largo enough for tho smaller
birds, and ljs Inches sufllces for tho
larger birds, rooms, nuinaicnea

to BUlt themselves), flycatchers, otc.
To make tho entrances lnrgor 1b only
to Invite spoliation.
To protect tho nest from tho as
saults of four-footed robbors, tho best
plan la to afllx tho box to the bnro
sldo of a troo trunk or tho faco of a
wall. To make assurance of snfety
doubly suro, when tho box Is near tho
top of n wall, an over-hanging roof, or
porch, may bo fixed above It so that
no animal can climb down to It from

A DESPERATE CHANCE.
Story of Amos Chapman, Scout Under
Gen. Miles.
Amos Chapman was 15 years In gov
ernment employ ns n Bcout on tho
plains. During his Ufa of constant
porll and exposure, writes Mr. Hnndnll
Parrlsh In "Tho Grcat Plains," one
of his most heroic deeds wns per
formed whllo ho was bearing dis
patches for Gen. Miles from his camp
on McClcllan Creek to Camp Supply,
Indian Territory. Tho dispatch party
consisted of six men. Early In tho
morning, nfter n hard night's rldo,
thoy woro suddenly attacked near tho
Washita river by a band of ovor a
hundred Kiowa and Comanche war
riors. Capt. Dodgo thus describes
what followed:
Tho first Intlmntlon of tho prcsonco
of Indians wasa volley which wound
ed ovory man In tho party. In an In
stant tbo Indians appeared on nil
sides.
Dismounting nnd abandoning tholr
horsos, tlo bravo band of whites
moved togot'ior for n hundred yards to
a buffalo wallow, a shallow natural
dopresBtou In tho prairie.
Chapman and Dixon, being but
slightly wounded, worked har3 anil
fast to deepen this depression, and
ns soon ns It was sufficiently deep to
afford somo cover, It was occupied,
and tho work continued from within.
Smith had fallen from his horso at
tho first fire, and wns supposed to bo
"Now, Boys, Keep Thoso
Redsklno Off."
Infernal
dead. Chapman said: "Now, boys,
keep thoso infernal redskins off me,
and I will run down and pick up
Smith, nnd bring him back before thoy
can got at mo."
Laying down his rlilo he sprang out
of tho buffalo wallow, ran with all
speed to Smith, seized and attempted
to shoulder him.
"I lay down," said Chapman, "and
got his chest ncross my back and his
arms round my neck, and then got
up with him. It waa as much ns I
could do to stnggor undor him, for
ho couldn't help himself n bit. Ily
tho time I had got 20 or 30 yards,
about 15 Indians camo for mo at full
speed of their ponies."
Tho boys in tho buffalo wallow
opened on tho Indians, and Amos ran
for it.
"When I was within about 20 yards
of the wallow," ho continued, "n little
old scoundrel whom I had fed 50 times
rodo almost onto mo and fired. I fell
with Smith on top of mo, but ns I
didn't feel pain, I thought I had
stepped In a holo,
"Tho Indiana couldn't stay round
thcro n mlnuto. Tho boys kopt It red
hot; so I jumped up, picked up Smith,
nnd got safo Into the wnllow.
" 'Amos,' aald Dixon, 'you aro badly
hurt.'
'"No, I am not.' said I,
"'Why, look at your leg!' and Hiiro
enough, tho log wus shot off Just ubovo
tho ankle-joint, nnd I had been walk
ing on tho bono and dragging tho foot
behind me, nnd In tho excitement I
never know it, nor have I ovor had
any pain In my log to this day."
Emigrant Money in Italy.
Somo students of emigration In
Italy profess to bellovo that tho largo
sums of monoy annually sent back by
tho emigrants to their families, or de
posited In tho poatolllces, more than
compensato for tho ovlla. Cortnlnly
tho money sont back Is a real benefit
to tho country, as wo havo ulreatly
noted, but would anyone bo so short
sighted as to contend that any amount
of monoy can repay n people for tho
breaking up of family llfo, lowering of
noral standards and consequent physl
cal degeneration? "Man dooa not live
by bread alone," especially whon that
bread la got at tho expense of national

DEFENDS HIS CLAIM.
Dr. Rand Insists He Was First to
Volunteer In War or '61.
Submitting n copy of an affidavit
which states that ho voluntcorcd ns
a soldlor In tho civil war at Datavla.
N. Y., "within ten minutes nfter tho
receipt of tho telegram announcing
President Lincoln's call for voluntoors,
April 15, 18G1," Dr. Charles F. Hand
recently mndo reply to tho statement
of Mr. J. T. Ford, which appeared In
tho Sunday Star. Mr. Ford claimed
that the honor of being tho first vol
unteers In tho civil wnr belongs to
tho National Klfles of tho DlBtrlct
of Columbia, nnd not to Dr. Rand, as
claimed by him. In reply Dr. Rand
says:
"Mr. J. T. Ford has given accurate
ly my record except In two facts which
I fool It Is necessnry to explain. Mr
Ford Bnys I Wns enrolled May 1, 18G1,
nnd mustered In May 13 nt Elmlrn,
which Is truo as far ns mustering In
goes, Datavla la a small vtllago and
we did not raise n company In ono
day. May 1 62 men wore mustered,
nnd wo wero two wooka In raising tho
company. Wo could not bo recognized
nB soldiers until wo woro mustered In,
which was on thnt dato. Wo had
at thnt tlmo no placo in tho sorvlco
and hud no assignment. Wo waited
to aeo if thoro waB n vacancy In
somo regiment thnt wanted n com
pany to till out. At last nows enma
hat tho Twolfth Now York volun
teers, at Syracuse, needed us. und wo
wore mustered Into thnt regiment
May 13, ns Company K.
"My claim as tho first volunteor In
tho war of tho rebellion has novor
ooen disproved and novor can be, un
less Borne ono can give bettor evidence
than I can nhow. When that la dono
1 will gladly yield tho palm. Men,
a number of them, clnlmod to havo
volunteered Immediately aftor Sumter
waa llred upon, which no doubt
la true, In which case thoy woro
throe dnys ahead of, mo. They
onllatod In tho mllltla. Thoro wero
no voluntoors at Unit tlmo.
"I did not volunteor until wnr was
declared, and voluntoors called for by
President Lincoln tho 15th of April,
18CL Tho mllltla was called Into
sorvlco boforo I volunteered. Tho
Third battalion of tho National
Rifles, which was called Into sorvlco
April 0, wus six days ahead of mo.
This claim Is good I acknowledge tho
fact, but It does not In nny way Inter
foro with my claim. Thoy woro nl
roady In tho service boforo tho war
opened.
"I hope this explanation will con
vince Mr. Ford that I was tho first vol
unteer In tho war of tho rebellion. I
think tho wnr department records
show no voluntoor whoso modnl was
dated previous to April 18, 18C1, tho
dato of my modal. I will also yield
that, point If hotter ovldonco la pro
"iftlcotf than that hero prosontod."
