ARATHER TOUGH STORY.
fEyaning Post. ]

Here's tough story from Leadville.
It is told by the officiating physician:
The middle part of last week one OF
the best young ladies of Leadville-
she's sweet as a peach, too-came to
my Office in the evening, and told me
in great deal of embarrassment that
she wanted me to help her out of some
trouble. Wel3 from her manner, my
suspicious were aroused, and began
to question her closely. And what the
dence do you think? Well, the con-
founded little fool had the name of the
young fellow whom she used to be
engaged to tattooed on the half of her
Leg. Now, she's just about to get mar
ried to quite different party, and had
sense enough to see that the marking
would be likely to kick up a big row.
She was awfully distressed and ready
to submit to almost anything, even a
surgical operation, to awipe out the
damned spot" I was puzzled at first,
but after studying over it for a little
while 1 happened to remember that
had read somewhere in some old scien-
tific magazine that tattooing may be
removed by going over the design with
a needle dipped In milk. 1t was a
forlorn hope, but thought 1 would
try 1t, and, taking her little foot--deli-
cate position, wasn't it, for married
man?-I carefully went over the let
tiers. 1t must have hurt, but she never
whimpered, and when it was all over
told her to go home and come again
in couple of days. Well, sir, when
she came, 1 had the satisfaction of
knowing that the letters had faded in
to an indistinguishable blue line. The
operation is perfect success, and she
Is the happiest girl in Leadville. I got
fifty dollars for the job. Let's go and
have a smoke.

The old frigate Constellation. which started

tory as the famous Constitution, whose re-
peated victories earned for her the name Of
Old Ironsides. The Constellation was on, of
several war vessels launched In 179S, when
the renown of Paul Jones's great sea fight
yet fired the sailors Of the young republic
with emulation. England was as yet uncon-
quered on the sea, and a British brig was
counted a match for q frighte of any other
nation. 1t was the Constellation and her sis
ter ships built in the same year that In the
war of 1912 fairly astonished the world by
meeting the British frigates sinale-handed
and forcing them to strike their flags. The
first victory of the Constellation. won the
year after she was launched over the French
frigate Insurgente, occastoned great reioic-
ing. Not long afterward she met the French
man-of war Vengeance, much her superior In
force, and, after a desperate battle, so rid
died the enemy with cannon shot that he
could barely crawl into port. By the unfor-
tunate loss of her mainmast the Constella-
tion was prevented from making prize Of
the Frenchman. These victories aroused the
greatest enthusiasm. and made the navy uni
