OP two ANCESTORS*
A Woman lafcorltod the Instincts of the
Coward and tho Haro.
Among tho women in and about Boa*
ton who know who her great grand*
fathers are la one whose ancestors
played prominent bat widely different
parts in the battle of Concord.
One was appointed to lead the yeo
men, the other was one of the yeomen
to bo led.
When theory of battle sounded the
leader, the man to whom the troope
looked for direction, deserted them.
At the last moment -his fear overcame
him and ha fled.
The other anoestor, seeing that the
troops were without a commander,
rushed from out the ranks and shout*
ing: "For God’s sake, flret" mode him
self the leader the men needed.
From the time this woman was a
little girl in short dresses she had re
peatedly heard this story and had been
proud of the brave man, and oht so
ashamed of the coward. As she grew
into Womanhood she found in her na*
ture parts of both ancestors.
"Let me tell you how I often feel,"
she would say. "For instance, when X
go to a party I am happy in anticipa
tion until I get to the drawing-room
door and catch a glimpse of the guests
within and the hostess standing stiff
and prim to receive me.
"There comes over me a terrible fear
and the runaway ancestor in me says,
‘Take to your heels, Annie, you can
never face these people.’ I’m on the
point of obeying this impulse when
‘For God’s sake, flrel’ takes full pos
session of me. With a bound I attack
my hostess and the battle’s won.”

JIM-JAM VALLEY.
A BeautlfU Vlsloa of Paradis# fl^stag
the Mountains of California.
“In the Jim-Jam valley, in California,
there are many wonderful and reason
able mirages,” said John E. Owens of
New York. “It is named Jim-Jam
valley because of the curious and
strange sights seen there. The valley
is about forty miles long and thirty
miles wide. Not a soul lives within its
territory. Mountains capped with snow
all the year surround the valley. In it
the eyeseeslakes, green trees, bubbling
springs, and even lilies growing in the
marshes. Contrast these with the
rugged mountains that surround you,
and the picture is one of indescribable
loveliness and beauty. You Imagine
that no paradise, ethereal or heavenly,
could surpass it. In the distance there
are beautiful lakes with lovers paddling
softly over the calm waters; fantastic
craft and beautiful water nymphs show
themselves. Weird and somber figures
gleam at you from all directions, and
dimly outlined forms of all colors,
shapes and sizes may be seen.
“Occasionally there is a storm in the
valley. Forked lightning leaps from
the mountain tops and in its light you
see strange animals, different from any
you have ever heard about before.
“These mirages strike the observer
with awe, and few men who see
once care to repeat the visit”
FnmMbi Honk*?*.
The author of “The History of Bra*
ell” tells of a species of money called
“preachers.” Every morning and even*
in? these monkeys assemble in the
woods. One takes a higher position
than the rest and ihakes a signal with
his forepaw. At this signal the others
sit around him and listen. When they
are all seated he begins to utter a .se
ries of sounds. When he stops these
cries he makes another signal with his
paw, and the others cry out until he
makes a third signal, upon which they
become silent again. This author, Mr.
Maregrove, asserts that he was a wit
ness to these preachings, but no other
traveler has confirmed the statement.
A detachment of soldiers was told oil
to take charge of young Tom, now
Father Shenfaan, while crossing the
pontoon bridge across the Potomac
when the armies of the country were
coming to Washington to take part in
the great review there in 1885. He
was then about eight years old.
One of the men asked him if he ex
pected to grow up as smart a man as
his father, the general, and he prompt
ly answered “No.”
“Why?” was the next question.
“Well,” he replied with the
readiness, “there are plenty other men
who have grown up, and why ain’t
they as smart as my father. •
