turning up everywhere pretending to be governors of various states and old Dangerfleld is seen on all the outgoing steamers There’s been nothing like it since the kidnaping of Charley Ross" Ardmore drew on his and a delighted grin reflectively luminated his countenance “I caught a lunatic down on the Raccoon this afternoon who said he was the governor of South Carolina and I locked him up” "Well

Carolina was marching his troops They had left Cooke’s men with Paul’s foresters to guard- the house and to picket the banks of Raccoon in the immediate of the camp of the neighborhood South

gentlemen” said Collins courteously "and march at once to Ardsley I you understand am only a courier and your guest for the present” “If you please” asked Cooke when the line had begun to move forward "what Ib that wagon over there?” He pointed to a mule team hitched to a quartermaster’s wagon that a negro Was driving into position across the rough field It was piled high with luggage a pyramid that rose black against tbe heavens One of the militia officers evidently greatly annoyed bawled to the driver to get back out of the way "Pardon me” said Collins politely "but is that your personal baggage gentlemen?” "That belongs to Col Gillingwater” remarked “The the quartermaster rest of us have a apiece” The pyramidal baggage wagon had gained the road behind them and linwith the driver gered uncertainly The asleep and waiting for orders were about to gallop forconspirators ward to the head of the moving column when Collins pointed across the abandoned to where a horseman who had evidently made a wide detour of the advancing column rode madly toward the baggage wagon “The gentleman’s trying to kill his horse I should judge" murmured Ardmore "By Jove!” “It’s Gillingwater!”

Gold and Southern Cotton Before 1849 the south furnished the chief gold fields of the country but since that date the south has not been In the running This section has been outclassed by California by Colorado and last but not least by by Nevada Alaska In the last fiscal year Alabama produced gold to the value of $4 1200 and silver to the value of $200 This state was outranked In gold production' in order by North Carolina South and Georgia Carolina but no one of them turned out enough gold to make the round figure of The entire production of gold in the south in the last year was and $273000 In silver Nearly all the silver was mined in Texas It Is pretty plain that Alabama and all the rest of the Bouth can get more gold out of the soil via the cotton boll than it can dig out in the gold mines The climate and the soil can proper in that way be coined into gold The method is a trifle more circuitous but it yields in cotton alone more money nine times over than do all the gold fields In the country for the total yield of gold in the last fiscal year in this country was but $94560000— Birmingham Woodpecker’s Foresight In California the woodpecker stores acorns away although he never eats He bores several boles differthem ing slightly in size at the fall of the year invariably in a pine tree Then he finds an acorn which he adjusts to one of the holes prepared for Its reception But he does not eat the acorn for as a rule he Is not a vegetarian His object in storing away the acorns exhibits foresight and a knowledge of results more akin to reason than to Instinct The succeeding 'winter the acorn remain intact but becoming saturated are predisposed to decay when they are attacked by inaggots which seem to delight in this special food It Is then that the woodpecker reaps the harvest hls wisdom has provided at a time when the ground being covered with snow he would experience difficulty otherwise in obtaining or nalatable food IN THE HOME OF PELICANS Studying ths Huge Ungainly Birds at Close Range and Observing Their Method of Feeding Their Yeung The first time I ever saw a motley crowd of pelicans I thought nature had surely done her best to make something ugly and ridiculous It was a warm day and the birds stood around with their mouths open panting like a lot of dogs after a chase their pouches shaking at every breath Wheh I went near the youngsters went tottering off on their big webbed feet with wings dragging on this side and that as if they were poorly handled crutches The youngsters huddled together by hundreds In a small place Those on the outside and pushed climbed to get near the center till it looked worse than any football scrimmage I ever saw In this wide area of low islands and water it was necessary since we wanted to study the pelicans at close range to adopt some method of hidWe took a large wagon umbrella ing covered with a piece of green canvas that hung down around the sides This we planted among the tules at the edge of a large colony and covers ed the top well with reeds The whole thing soon passed as part of the en vlronment while from the Inside the camera man could point hls camera out through a narrow slit In the canvas take pictures and make observations at will One might wonder how such a huge billed bird as a pelican could feed a helpless chick just out of the egg It The was done with apparent ease old bird regurgitated a fishy soup Into tbe front end of the pouch and tbe baby pelican pitched right In and helpAs ed himself out of this family dish the young bird grew older
