has been a healthy increase. and we report 52S
conversions. You could not find anywhere q
more single-hearted lot of men than our work
ers. As TO our material interests, we have
made good progress. In South Washington the

A Naval Cadet Put In Step.

Il shall never forget" said a naval officer to
STAR reporter today, "a very funny thing
chat happened at Annapolis while was there
ss a cadet and Commander McCalla was COM
mandant Of the battalion 1t was at the time
Of the annual parade and there were fully 1000
spectators present. We were marching I'D and
down the plain. when. just in front OF. the sup
erintendents house, the captain thought he
saw one of the men, named Taylor, get out of
step, so he called out to him to get IN stem
The cadet, 1t seems, was not out of STEP and
the captain was laboring under an optical de-
fusion. Taylor foolishly talked back, telling
the officer that he was in error This made
SicCalis mad and he halted the battalion ON
the instant and told the unfortunate cadet to
step TO the front When he had done SO he or.
dered him TO march at the proper step to the
gymnasium. which Is several hundred wards
away. On went Taylor. marching with his gun
at right shoulder. with McCalla about fifty
feet behind him. and the whole battalion and
crowd OF visitors laughing until they could
scarcely contain themselves. When TAYLOR had
reached the sea wall he halted and the captain
gave him the order about face" Then the
captain yelled to the band master to play See
the Conquering Hero Comes" and to that tune
the poor fellow was forced to march clear back
TO his place in line, accompanied by the shouts
of the multitude. He never could get away
from the nickname of "Conquering Hero"
IL was a cruel thing to do.

She Will Have Them Cut Down,

Women observe the smallest trifles, especially
If they belong to the dress of their own sex.
The other day stylishly dressed lady sitting
opposite a STAR reporter in a street car. hap
pening TO look out Of the window, nudged her
companion and called her attention to the feet
of lady on the sidewalk, which came neatly
into view as their owner daintily lifted her
dress to step across the gutter. ..She belongs
in New York, was the remark of the lady in
the car, land she has not been here long.
Look at her heels-they are way up in the air.
Wait till she has been here any length of time
and she will have them cut downI"-and the
rest OF the dissertation, which probably con-
tanned some light on the question of why she
would cut down her high French heels, was lost
in the conductors cry at the transfer station

That Bermuda Hat Story.

According to the view of n naval officer the
reported escapade of Commander McCslla at
Hamilton, Bermuda. on his way home from his
late unfortunate cruise on the 22d of February,
when, il was said he and several other officers
and some civilians. while at dinner with the
wine flowing freely, impersonated George
Washington by means Of their high hats, and
dared any one TO touch them. had its prob
able origin in . peculiar custom that is in
vogue among certain Of the older officers Of
the service in clubbing an old hat with the
name of some disliked person and treating it
with great indignity. 1t seems that on a GER
tain cruise some years ago there was a crowd
fun. got into the habit of addressing each other
IN the most extravagant terms of endearment,
to the disgust of their seniors, who began CALI
ing them the ''mutes," which is the shortening
for mutual admiration society" In view Of
this atmosphere they adopted the system of
speaking of the others by fictitious names. SO
that they could talk about them
in whatever style they pleased while
in their hearing, It 20 happened that
ment was Jones'" and it was a common thing
for the young fellows to tax in a most disre-
spectful manner Of "Old Jones' with that in:

One OF the party had an old hat, a shocking
remnant Of former STYLE and he, in q fit Of
after. when there was any extra spleen to work
OF against the commander some one would
bring out the hat and, putting it down on the
deck, say: "Do you see that hat. well, that's
Jones', whereat every man would rush at it in
an effort to get the first kick at it. Somehow
or other this notion spread to other ships, and
in time there was a hat on board of nearly
every man-of-war named after the captain, who
was invariably called Jones' From this came
the idea OF setting up the hat as o symbol Of

lection Of his younger days in the service that

tai George, il he ever did such thing.
