ESCAPE OF CONSTITUTION.
Exc ting Adventure of "Old Ironsides''
in the War of 1912.

Exc ting Adventure of "Old Ironsides"
in the War of 1912.
The Constitution, or s.Old lronsides"
as she is more familiarly known, is the
most famous of all the wooden ships
that we have preserved. Time and
time again did she vanquish the Eng
fish ships in the war of 1912. and
proud were the people of her captures.
Probably the most thrilling incident
of her career was her escape from
seven English men of war, after an ex-
citing chase of nearly three days and
nights. The chase was begun July II,
1912. The Constitution was out for a
long cruise, and was weighted down
with stores. The sea was calm, and
no wind was stirring. Captain Hull
put out his men in boats to tow the
ship. They pulled valiantly, and as
night came on a ..kedgen anchor was
run out half mile ahead. The
crew on the ship kept pulling on this,
and the Britishers didn't discover for
long time the secret. Finally the
English saw it and adopted the same
tactics, and by doubling their crews
began to pull their famous ship Shan
non near to the Constitution.
A light breeze sprang up and saved
the American ship for the time, says
| the Chicago Times. There was calm
the next day and the agonizing strug-
| gle went on. The next night another
light breeze came up and the tired
sailors obtained a little sleep. The
next day there came a sharp breeze
after many hours of struggle. The
| Constitution trimmed her sails to
J catch it; the boats dropped back and
/ the men were caught up as the ship
| gathered Roadway. The Guerrero OF
| the English feet, came abeam as the
| wind freshened and fired broadside
| but the shots fell short, and the Con
stitution's men ignored them and
calmly went about Strengthening ur
their vessel as if they had just left
port and such a thing as an enemy
was unheard of.
AS long as the Constitution can be
kept together she will probably bs
seen at Portsmouth, n. H., where she

LITER AIRY MILLIONAIRES
Mr.. Clews Had to Accept a Check for a
Contribution.

Mr.. Clews Had to Accept Check for a
Contribution.
Millionaires have their weaknesses
as do other people, and it seems, in
deed, as if a majority of them desired
to pose as something different than
what they really are. They especially
delight in being considered literary,
and if Jack Astor is at all vain he
must be exceedingly gratified over the
yOluminOus reviews of his book, but
those who know him assert that his
satisfaction is over the vast amount OF
free advertising thus given his proof
even against charges of faulty syntaX
and bad grammar. The Aston eye for
business is unflinching.
Henry Clews is another millionaire
author, and he takes delight in gain
ing repute as writer. He has writ
ten a book, and occasionally con-
tribution from his pen appears in the
magazines. He writes well enough:
there is no occasion to find fault with
him on that score, and there is no
reason for more than an indulgent
smile for the manifestations of his
pride in authorship.
NOtlOng after one of his articles had
appeared in well known review j
met him on the street. He was re-
markably affable. He is always pleas
ant and approachable, but this time he
seemed to be more than anxious to say
something. l waited expectantly.
Presently he brought the conversation
around to the topic discussed in his
article.
Il wrote out my views on that mat
ter" he said, and sent the manuscript
to the - Review. 1t was published.
Did you see it?"
/ had not, regret to say, but my
reply satisfied him.
Yes he continued, "they not only
printed it, but sent me check for
So Here he pulled out the check
from his pocket and showed it to me.
'Of course, l don't pretend to be a
writer" he resumed, land so / re-
turned the check, disclaiming any in
tention of writing for pay, but the ed
itor sent the check back with a note
saying that he preferred to have me
keep it, as his magazine was in the
habit of paying for all contributions,
and that unless l accepted pay he
wouldn't feel like publishing any of
my articles in the future. SO / sup
pose I'd better keep it. hadn't I?n
And with shamefaced smile he re-
turned the editors check to his vest

A Temple Of Health

Where vigor, good digestion, appetite and
sound repose minister to physical comfort, is
the bodily structure which, however much its
foundations have been Slapped by i'll health, has
been restored-rebuilt, as it were-by the great
renovating tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Nothing infuses strength into a debilitated
frame like this saving medicine, which, in the
vigor and regularity ii imparts to the system,
endows it with the surest defense against dis
ease, and the best guaranty OF long life and
hale old age. Worn out men Of business, tired
mechanics, overworked mill hands, miners
broken down by hardship and exposure TO ma
laria, mariners and tourists, all declare that it
is the best safeguard against the influences of
fatigue, bodily or mental, and of climate and
temperature Incompatible for bilious, rheu-
matte kidney and nervous troubles.

Curio,i,ies About Cast Iron.

Cast iron is extended the five tn . IS
and five hundredth part of its length
for every ton of direct strain per square
inch of its section; its elasticity is fully
excited when extended the one thous-
andth part and the limit of its elastic
ity is estimated to be found at the time
when it is extended to the twelve hun
dredth part of its length. The tensile
strength of the strongest piece of cast
iron ever tested was 45,970 pounds to
the square inch.

Coxey has only deserved we'll of
his followers in leaving them to
their own devices. He was as in
competent to care for them as he
was to advise them and it was only
a question of time how long it
would be before they were left to
the direction of what little COM
mon sense they possessed. There
is no doubt that CoXey, Debs, Alt.
geld, Tillman and the whole seed,
breed and generation of that fam
lily are lacking alike in mental and
moral balance, and they ought to
be taken in out OF the wet and
cared for at the expense of the
state behind bars. There is no fool
so big a fool but that a still bigger
one will be found to follow in his
fool tracks, no matter how broad
they are.
