A group of navy officers were indulg-
ing in "reminiscences of the war, when
one of them told the following yarn:
Early on the morning of Dec. 25th,
1904" he said, Admiral Porter sig
nailed to the feet before Fort Fisher:
Get under way and follow men The
ship to which belonged was assigned,
in the program, to the position be-
tween two ironclads close under the
fort. We anticipated hot and terrible
work. The flagship led the way, and
was approaching within range, when
Lieut. Commander B, of my ship,
ordered all hands to muster The
brawny tars gathered aft on the quar-
ter-deck, with the officers in their
usual places, and our commander began
to read from the prayer-book the
Prayer Before Battle 1t was sol
emn moment, none knew who or how
many among us might suddenly be
ushered into the presence Of the God
of battles. Our commander read as
though he felt it; the whole ships com
pany were awed and hushed, and the
throbbing of the engines and the wash
of the water along the side seemed
prematurely loud. When about half
through a signal was reported from
the flagship: Come to anchor in your
positions When it was read to our
commander a sudden revulsion of feel
ing came over him. Throwing down
the prayer-book upon the hatch, he
exclaimed; Well, I'll be id if I'm
going to pray if we amt going to
fight Army Navy Union.

IT is all right for anybody to tip a
waiter if he wants to. Good service
at the table is an essential feature of
a good dinner, and a token OF appre-
citation in the shape Of tip to the
waite is something that nobody can
object to. But when it appears that
the tip really goes to the landlord in
stead Of to the waiter, inasmuch as
the expected tip is rcckoned as a
part Of the walters wages, it puts a
different face on the business. and
the walters are perfectly right in OBJ
jecting to it.

Mrs. John A. Logan is a woman who
possesses the somewhat rare feminine
ability TO comprehend and intelligent
" converse upon politics. She and
Gen. Grant had many a heated battle.
The story is told that in the midst of
discussion which had been particularly
long and interesting the General lost
sight of the fact that he was taking 10
a woman. He was vigorously refut-
ing one of her statements when he
reached into an inside pocket, pulled
out and opened a cigar case and offered
Mrs. Logan a cigar. She took it. and
apparently not noticing the incongru-
ity of the situation, quietly concealed
it. The General lit his and launched on
in oblivion. Among the most treas
ured of Mrs. Logan's possessions is
that cigar. Washington News.
