An incident related in the recent BIZ
ography of Sir Provo Wallis, Admiral
of the British Fleet, brings home to
the reader the cruel nature of war. 1t
occurred during the War of 1912. An
American captain had taken a fine
ship to Lisbon, where she had sold
her cargo for the use of the British
army under wellington, and received
several thousands of dollars in return,
which were on board.
Meantime war had been declared,
and on her homeward voyage she fell
victim to the British squadron. One
of the principal objects OF her captors
was to obtain information. The
Anne lean captain was sent on board
the Shannon,-which afterward cap
tured the famous Chesapeake but
was kept in ignorance of the war and
OF the fact that he was prisoner.
He answered unreservedly all the
questions put to him, and Captain
Broke, who greatly disliked the decep-
ton he had been obliged to practise,
now felt it difficult to make the pris-
oner acquainted With the next step
which must be taken. At length he
forced himself to sal:
Captain, ] must burn your ship. "

prise. faltered, Burn herr"

eyes," said Broke.
Both parties were painfully moved,
and the scene did not end without a
tear from each; but duty was duty,
and the prize was destroyed,

THE LIQUOR HABIT.

An Inyo County Periodical Descants
on the Ruling Passion.
A well-known miner is in the habit
of getting on a roaring jag every time
he comes "down off the hill, says the
Homer Index. In an hour after hear
rives in Lundy his back teeth are
afoat and his skin is cracking with
whisky. No barman can turn it out
too fast for him. The ecstatic moods
last for q month, during which he
eats nowhere and sleeps anywhere.
Recently we found him rectifying
his bilge.water with half-a-pint OF
soarmash, preparatory to aprotract-
ed jag, and with tears in our eyes so
big that every one would turn mill
we kindly expostulated with him.
Tossing down his four-6nger jolt he re-
piled, as he wiped off his chin and
placed his months check in escrow with
the bartender:
"I'll tell you. / never did like the
taste of liquor. At the beginning the
sensations were pleasant. The heart
beat more solidly and the blood rush
ed to the brain. l went upon the
mount of TRANSPORTATION. l was on
the delectable heights. In my wild
and vivid imagination I clothed my
self, as it were, with the sun, moon
and stars. The depression each time
was in proportion to the exhilara-
ton.
The time came at last when the
nerves were shattered and out of
jingle. For years have not had one
pleasant emotion from drinking. After
being hard at work in the mine for
months, abstaining from the use OF
whisky, on first yielding it thrills the
domain of life for moment and then
leaves me like the blasted trunk of the
dead forest tree upon which the red
ligntnings of the storm cloud have
expended their rage. Then l must
have more steam. Ho, barkeep!
Give us another jolt. Get in here, all
you fellows" And he wiped off his
chin again.

PROSECUTED HIS BARBER.

"Humi" said the irritated barber,
'It's easy enough to kick. Didn't
slice all the hair off your face? What
more do you expect for Is cents?"
'"Fhe stubble has been removed"
demonstrated the customer, says the
New York Herald, "but with it a
large amount of my cutiele."
"Well, what of it?" demanded the
barber. Didn't / dab alum on that
cash in your ear?"
"You did," the exacting customer
confessed, "butyou cut the tip of my
nose"
"And l pasted it on with court
plaster"
'True enough, but you severed one
OF my eyebrows and lost it on the
floor"
Il kept the razor out of your eye,
didn't1?"
"You did"
"And only gashed your neck in four
placesY"
"Quite right"
"I'm afraid you are a kicker. My
advice to you is to grow beard or
buy safety razor and not come
around insulting union BARRIERS.
You're one of those fellows that want
a dollars worth of surgery with each
shave and then kick because you

twined in and through all the bones
of that body. Theyohng tendrils had
wrapped around the stovepipe and

been reared upright in the middle of
