In this corner of the world, not mentioned

old woodcutter and rich farmer. Every

| There appears to have been a woful
want Of foresight somewhere in the man
agement Of the navy department under
the last administration. 1t seems that
about everything accomplished by the
department during President Harrison s
term is more or less defective Besides
the serious faults discovered in the New
York, Detroit, Montgomery, Machias and
Marblehead, recently referred to in the
MORNING News. still other defects have
been found in the New York. 1t will be
necessary to dock her before her exact
condition can be ascertaiued, for the
faults lie at the bottom of the ship When
the matter of docking such a ship comes
to be considered, the extent of the want
Of foresight on the part of the authori-
ties becomes apparent-this government
has no dock, either built or
contracted for, with enough water on its
port sills to admit the New York as She
floats And it is claimed that she must be
locked without removing any part of her
armament, in order to determine what
ails her
The New York is battleship, techni-
cally known rs an armored steel cruiser.
She is $50 feet long on the load water
line, "a feet in breath, and, according to
the acceptance trial data. has mean
draught Of % feet 1919 inches. But the
New York Times asserts that owing to
defects in construction, she has q draught
of two feet more than that, and hangs
two feet lower by the stern than it was
intended she should. This gives her
draught of % feet 1879 inches-so closely
approaching 26 feet that it would be I'M
safe to move her in twenty-six feet of
water in a dead calm. The largest dry
dock the government now has is at the
Brooklyn navy yard, and it has a draught
of p feet on its port sill. The largest
dock the government has contracted for
is that at Port Royal, and it will have,
when completed, but 20 feet on it's sill.
The New York will, therefore, have to
be sent TO Europe to be locked And in
case any of the other great battleships
need docking they also will have to be
sent to Europe for the purpose. Had
3O-foot dock been contracted for at Port
Royal, the government would soon have
been relieved of the necessity of sending
its big ships TO foreign docks AS it is,
it will be necessary to continue the
practice, to build still other docks at an
enormous expense or to quit building big
ships.

Earning the Money for a Marriage
License.

Il came to Minnesota young man, took a
claim. ana went to work" says a writer in
the Jackson Mimi Republic. Times were
a little dull. but had no one but myself, and
trapping was good, so everything was lovely.
but one DAY IN 1873 = man drove on the claim
adjoining, and went over to cal. Around
Ihe campfire were his wife and two mighty
me looking girls. That evening settled me.
1 tell you things looked mighty deSOiate
around my shanty. so I spent good deal of
time at my neighbours. The grass-hoppers
got In their work that summer. but we all
StuDned along looking for brighter DAYS. and
somehow the days we're brighter, especially
the days spent visiting my neighbors. Well.
10 make long story short. the eldest girl
promised to make it look a little brighter
around my claim just as soon as l could
raise the money for the license and pay the
justice.
Fur was out Of season, work not to be had,
ana no one to borrow Of There was enc
gleam OF hope, that was wolf. There was
bounty on wolves. and If L could get a wolf
an was serene, and she helped. One day
wnen after the COWS she saw a wolf enter his
Den about two miles west of their place
ana over she came to report. and that night
sat Dy the den, but the wolf was out call
ing. Wen, for eight consecutive nights
waited at the front door of that establish
ment with a double barreled gun in posi-
ton. and about IL O'Clock Mr.. Wolf
came Snelking home, but before he pulled
the doOr-bel he was my meat. I shOudered
nm and went down by where the girl lived
threw handful of sod against the upper
window, ana when she stuck her head out, I
told her to he ready in the morning to go
TO jackson. The next morning we hitChed
up the cattle and went TO town. and while she
waited in a store. I went to the court house
only to find Nose Strong, the auditor gone.
Kings looked dark for a spell but Kimball
who was clerk, said: You leave the wolf
mead with Maj. Bailey and l will issue the
license and the major will perform the cere-
mony. Bring the wolf head up when Nose
gets back and all viii be satisfactory So
borrowed coat and stood up before the
major, and home we went as happy as though
we had grand wedding. Come out to my
place some day and see how that same girl
makes pumpkin pies. We are on the old
claim yet, and other young fellows are prowl-
ing around my place just as did twenty one
years ago, but they are better clothed"
