Recognition OF Old Friends as They Enter
n Hattie,

n Battle.
/ was chatting the other night with
n well known officer on the retired
list of the navy about the odd way in
which old friends will turn up, and
he related to the reporter what is a
unique experience in that line.
My wife had been very much an
noyed," he said, ''by some boys who
insisted on ringing the door bell of
my house on All Halloween. l came
home rather late in the evening to
find the whole house topsy-turvy.
When l learned the cause of the
trouble, / was exceedingly angry, and
l proceeded to lay for those boys. ]
concealed myself in the shadow Of the
house and waited for some time, but
the boys did not come. Then / stepped
out into the middle of the street and
started toward the corner looking for
them. II was not long before / came
upon the crowd. They were of all
ages, ranging from IS years down. /
grabbed the oldest boy, and wanted TO
know what he meant by ringing the
bell and annoying my wife. Of course
he said he hadn't touched my bell.
You're a liar, said j, and l am going
to teach you not to ring bells any
more, and with that | began to spank
him. He yelled murder, and his com
panions ran in every direction. The
warming process had been in opera
ton for some minutes, when n woman
came out of al adjoining house, and,
running over to the spot where we
stood, told me TO let the boy alone.
Have you any interest in the boy,
MADAME" said l.
He is my son, she replied.
'"Then you ought to have done this
TO him long ago, said l, and whack,
whack went the palm of my right
hand.
You're n brute said the woman,
and / shall send my husband to you
81 wish you would, madam, / re-
piled, as my right hand kept up the
rhythmetic measure. You send him
here to me or you send him to my
house hereafter and I'll give him a
good licking for bringing a boy up in
this way
I'VE had a little audience by this
time, and one man who had come up
to see what the row was about said:
Leave that boy alone Why don't
you hit a man.
Il brought down my hand once
more or luck and letting the boy cs-
cape, 1 reached for the strangers col
lar, as l said: Perhaps you'd like to
be the mani He drew away and put
his hand behind him. / did not know
whether he had a revolver or not, but
l knew that l had one, and before he
could have drawn l had it down on
him. Don't you dare l said.
Are you Lieutenant - he said,
as he looked down the cold muzzlc Of
the revolver.
1 am l replied, what of it9"
why, I'm johnson, said he.
That doesn't convey any impress
ion TO my mind, said l..
81 vas in your class at the naval
academy said he.
"'Come up TO my house, johnson,
and have a drink said L, and he
came VI to my house and drank until
he was very full. We had not seen
each other for fifteen years. If
any one can match that meeting /
want to hear from him. -Pittsburg

A black surah gown may be effectively
