classes of white settlers to come among
them. 'J lie deeds to lots in Seminole
towns have a condition in them which
forfeits the title if liquor is sold. The

run through the Seminole country.
When Gen. (at that time Capt.)
Charles King was at the head of the
military department of the University
• it Wisconsin, he had great difficulty
in getting the boys out for drill. He
was a grcul stickler for discipline, but
the boys would shirk, and for one
reason or another many of them suc-
ceeded in being excused from drill.
This annoyed the captain, who himself
would recognize no excuse except
physical disqualification, says the
Saturday Evening I'ost.
.in the middle of one of the terms a
youth arrived at the institution who
had had military training elsewhere,
and all he wanted of it. Jn some way
he succeeded in being excused, but
turned out occasionally to watch thi-
ol hers. The captain was the more
ready to let him have his way in the
| matter, because thecorps was in pretty
! good shape by that time, and a new
j man would have meant a good deal of
j extra trouble. Hut one day the youth
! happened to he with a number t>f the
j university cadets in the Capitol park,
j at Madison, and, all being in a some-
i what happy frame of mind, he under*
I took to drill them, it was a burlesque
were ; drill, in which he imitated all the pe-
culiarities of (.'apt. King. He did it
well, too. The voice, the manner, the
quick, snappy Walk, the attention to
detail, the method of reproof and cor-
rection, were capitally illustrated, al-
though somewhat exaggerated.
And then Capt. King came along.
The new student has his back to him
and failed to see him, but the captain,
after watching iu silence for a minute,
curtly ordered the youth to report ti)
liim that afternoon. But he was very
affable and pleasant when the young
man arrived.
'"That was an excellent imitation,"
he said, "you must have been study-
ing inc."
"I've watched you a little, sir,'' was
the deferential reply.
"Rut you didn't learn a! 1 that from
watching ine," persisted the captain.
"Why, no, sir," faltered the youth.
"1 was a member of the cadet
corps for two or three years."
"1 remember it," said the captain.
"It took first prize at a competitive
drill of which I was one of the judges.
Were you with it at that tine?"
"Yes, sir," answered the youth, and
then he hastened to add: "You see.
that's why I asked to be excused from
drill."
"Oh," retorted the captain, sar-
castically. "You think you ought to
be excused from drill because you
know how, do you? You're just the
kind of a man I want. Report for drill
to-morrow morning at eight o'clock."
Then he added musingly, as the youth
was leaving: "Yes, that was a very
good imitation you gave, and I'm glad
you 'gave it. I might have lost you
otherwise."
Fowling- Cliff* of the Faroes.
The Faroe islands are remarkable
for the immense numbers of birds that
frequent them, and which furnish an
important supply of feathers to com-
merce. The most valuable of these
birds for its feathers is the puffin,
about 100,000 of which are caught an-
nually. Perpendicular cliffs of rock,
facing west wardly, ;wc known as
fowling cliffs, because of the birds
that cover their s'helves. During part
of the summer the birds are so
numerous around the cliffs that they
are said to resemble a thick .snow-
storm. \ ery few birds are found about
cliffs that do not have a western ex-
pos ii^-c.—Youtli's Companion.
