THE CAPTAIN WAS IN A HURRY.
He was Noted for His Cool Deliberation
and Strong Nerves.

Chinl
A good story has been told Of
lisping officer having been victim
lied by brother oficer-who was
noted for his cool deliberation and
strong and of his getting
square with him in the following
manner; The cool joker, Captain
Biakeney, was always quizzing the
lisping officer, a lieutenant, for his
nervousness, and said one day at
mess: "Why, nervousness is all
nonsense. [ tell you no brave man
is ever nervous" "Well," inquired
his lisping friend, chow would you
act thpothing a thell with an NTH
futhee thpuld drop ithelf in a wall
ed angle, In which you had taken
shelter from company of tharp-
thooterth, and where it wath Their
tain if you put out your nothe
you'd get peppered?"
"How?" said the captain, with a
look at his brother officers, "Why,
take it coolly and spit on the fuse"
The party broke up and all retired.
The next morning number of SOL
diers were assembled on parade,
when along came the lisping lieu
tenant. Lazily opening his eyes.
he remarked to cluster Of officers:

thith morning and thee how Elk
theedingly cool Tom Blakeney can
be-" Saying this he walked de-
iberately into the captains quar-
ters,. where a fire was burning on
the hearth, and placed in its hot
test part powder canister and IN
stantly retreated. There was but
one door of egress from the quar-
ters and that opened on the parade
ground. The occupant gave one
look at the canister, comprehended
the situation and in a moment made
for the door, but it was fastened on
the outside. "Charley, let me out

tain. "Thpit on the canistherl"
shouted he in return.
Not a moment was to be lost;
the captain had at first snatched
up blanket to cover himself with;
but soon dropping it he raised the
window and out he bounded, sans
everything but a very short under
garment, and thus, with hair al
most on end, he dashed on to full
parade ground. The shouts which
hailed him brought out the whole
Of the occupants Of the barracks to
see what was the matter, and the
dignified captain pulled a sergeant
in front to hide himself. "Why
didn't you thpit on it," inquired
the lieutenant. because there
were no sharpshooters in front to
stop a retreat" answered the cap
tain. "All I've got to thay, then,

looking man, with pair of specta-

seat beside him, kept rubbing his
pate in a nervous way and hitching
about on the seat as if afraid of
tacks. Opposite him sat a man

until the attention of a dozen peo-

asked to explain, and he said:
"The old chap over there sat down

elbowed my ribs and didn't apollo.

"But how?"
">That paper is just three years

to procure it, but I've had fifty dol

The old fellow struck the head

puzzled, bobbed up and down and
slowly shook his head. He jump

time for two yaars the Naval War College
ct Newport will be opened again Sept. Il
next, the new buildings having been
completed and put in order for the re-
ception Of officers who will be ordered
there for course Of instruction. Capt.
Mahen 10 the colleges new president.
Extensive preparations are being made
to give many OF our new ships speed and
tactical trials, torpedo and boat drills in
conjunction with the presence OF the
new class Of officers, aud 1t Is now prac-
tically settled that all the ships Of the
North Atlantic squadron will be present
to take part In the drills and evolutions.
The Vesuvius and Cushing will be
speeded over q course and will be given
trials in tactical operations. The depart
ment intends to have nearly all the ves-
sells In the vicinity of the New York navy
yard participate In the drills, SO that
their officers may have at the same time
the benefit of the institution given in
torpedo and strategic drills at the col
lege.
1t 10 likely that the ships now at Bar
Harbor will remain there for some days
longer and then proceed to Newport to
take part In the opening of the war col
lege and subsequent drills.
