the Office who were National heroes.
and although 10 is rightfully the in
cumbent by reason of his services 10
the country, his career has not been
such as TO make his name over familiar
to people generally. His military life
has been long and the duties faithfully
performed. but in few events he has
been very conspicuous. General SchO-
field was born on the 29th of Septem-
Der, 1881. He graduated from the
United States Military Academy in
1888. in the same class with Sheridan,
Mcpherson and Hood Before the war
he left the service to become a profes-
sOr of natural science in a university.
but at the breaking out of hostilities
he entered the army as volunteer.
A Maio:s commission was rendered
to him at once and on November p.
1861, he had reached the grade Of
Bridadier-General. He served all
through the war, notably in the At
lantic campaign, and for a time was
Secretary of War in Grants first Cab

The Abuses Of Civ ing

but by a gradual movement along the

name which improvement is the ffiosi

foremost reforms ia to impress upon
people who have the viii and power Il

who help themselves. their aid pre-
duces more evil than good. The pic
lance given to the pauper sows the
seed OF more injury to the poor than
any thousand-dollar donation even TO-
worthy purposes is likely TO cure.
Better not give at all than to give to

STRIKE OR MUTINY?
A Thrilling and Simply Awful Tale
of the Sea.
CHAPTER FIRST.


Tho good ship Blue Peter. writes
Luke Sharp. in Detroit Free Press, lay
at her offing at the wharf in Detroit.
Davy Jones, the m tie. sat on his lock-
er and was evident in very bad hui
NOR Ever and anO4 he rose and paced
the deck impatienily. The ship was
ready to sail. hut one of the crew who
had been hired for the long voyage to
Chicago had not yet presented himself
The tide was ready for business and the
Mate was anxious TO get of so as TO
catch the trade winds that blew across
Lake 81. Clair. Mr. Davy Jones used
language with reference to this delay
that would not look well in print. and
any how it has nothing TO do with the
plot OF this Clark Bussellian story.
just as the patience and the vOcabu-
larry of Mr.. Jones were both exhaust
ed, dapper stranger came down First
street and approached the Blue Peter.
Behind him came a cOlOred lad, who
carried a very handsome valise. The
stranger was tall and extremely well
dressed. He wore gloves and his cuffs
and collar were spOtless white. 4 pair
of gOld-rimmed eyeglasses were astride
his nose, and connected with them was
a thin gold chain that was fastened to
his vest As he saw the tuning Mate
he said-
'.Ahi How-de-dOt"
Look here, cried the mate as the
dapPer young man stepped aboard,
-'this Is not passenger vessel.
1T is the Blue Peter. Is il nOt?" an
swered the young man. as he tossed the

official. What II an the Mate2"

Mate. who had nearly tainted with
establishment. .IOu have kept MS
waiting, then. and we will very likely
miss the tide.
Il am sorry for that. said the sailor.
but. you sec, had 10 have a shave.
and 30 was kept waiting for my turn.
{ couldn't begin voyage TO Chicago
without a shave, you know
The Mate. in a surly manner. had to
admit that such a proceeding would
have been quite unprecedented. and at
this moment the cabin-boy approached
aud took the sailors vaIise. intimating
that his room was all ready for him.
The Mate mUttered 10 himself as he
saw the sailor disappear. II was evil
dent that he did not like the cut of his
iib. as landsmen say.
..I'll take the starch out of that fell
low before we get to Chicago. see if /
don't. said Mr.. Jones. addressing his
locker
Thus you will notice that trouble
looms right up at the end Of the very
first chapter, but You may bet largely
that the dapper young man is going
to come out all right They always
do.
