RULER OF THE NAVY.
Secretary Herbert has Powers
Which Cannot be Gainsaid.
from the Chicago Times.

| From the Chicago Times
! There is one man in the United
Sites who has more power than the
PRESIDENT and all the federal courts
combined" said a naval officer recent
ly "The secretary of the navy is the
man. His power over officers of the
navy is autocratic. He can, without
theaid of court, fine an officer all the
w& from $500 to $4,000 a year, accord
ing to his rank, and simply to suit the
whm of the secretary. Unlike officers
of The army, officers in the navy are
moi paid uniform and fixed compen-
saton. In the army the salary of an
officer is fixed by law, and no one, not
even the president, can deduct a cent
from that pay without court-martial.
In the navy there are three regular
grades of pay In the case of rear adj
miral, which is the highest rank in the
navy the pay at sea is $4,000. On shore
duly this is reduced to $4,000, while if
the officer is on leave of absence or
"vaiting ordersn this is reduced to
S4O0
Now, suppose a rear admiral is
ordered to the command of the fleet in
the North Atlantic. The secretary of
the navy proposes to visit the fleet He
is received on board the flagship with
all the honors due his station, and the
admiral does his best in the way of en-
tetalnment. Suppose again, when the
secretary sits down to dine at the adj
miral's table he finds that a cheap
brand of American wine is served in
stead of his accustomed Chateau
Yquem. The secretary determines to
resent this indignity. He goes ashore
and decides to relieve an admiral who
knows nothing of the first principles of
hospitality. He issues an order de-
taching the admiral and placing him
on waiting orders. Then on the follow
ing day he determines to punish him
still further. He calls in the chief of
the bureau of navigation, and directs
that Admiral Bowline be given an in
definite Through. That means that in
stead of drawing $4,000 year. as he was
yesterday, the late admiral of the North
Atlantic finds his income suddenly re-
duced to $4,000 and all because he has
offended the ruler of the navy in some
slight manner.
Cannot the admiral appeal? Ger
tainly not There is no one to whom
he can cry out. The president has no
power to review the decisions of the
secretary of the navy in matters of this
kind. This is an extreme case, of
course, but it would not be difficult to
point out where lieutenants have had
their pay cut from 1900 to 5000 by a
secretary who had a grudge.

Her Grace.
From the Youths Companion. !

An Englishwoman of rank, a duch-
ess, while kind hearted in the main,
was careless about many matters which
affected the happiness of others, par
ticularly the tradespeople whom she
patronized. She was apt to forget to
pay her bills until annoyance and some
times distress resulted. A milliner
whose large bill had been repeatedly
ignored by the duchess. at last deter
mined to send her little girl, pretty
child OF 10 years, to beg for the money
which was SO much needed.
"Be sure to say your Grace to the
Duchess" said the anxious mother; anC
the child gravely promised to remem
Der.
When, after long waiting, she was
ushered into the duchess presence, the
little girl dropped low courtesy, anC
then, and then, folding her hands and
closing her eyes, she said softly: "Fol
what | am about to receive, may the
Lord make me truly thankful"
AS she opened her eyes and turned
her wistful gaze on the duchess, thai
light hearted person flushed very red
and without delay made out a check
for the amount due to the milliner.
The little girl, happy in the belief tina
she had done the errand exactly as shs
had been told, departed joyfully; but
the quick witted duchess knew that thu
lesson she had received had never beer
intended, and felt its reproof all the

for dinner at a country tavern kept by
an old fellow | had never met. There
was bar attached, and thither my
companion and l adjourned shortly
after our arrival. We hadn't seen the
old man yet, and boy was behind the
counter. We explained our wants to
him, and he had just set out a bottle
and couple of the ordinary small sized
whisky glasses when the old man came
in. My companion knew him and at
once introduced me as the member of
congress from that district. We shook
hands cordially and L asked him to
join us.
"Not at all, he responded, with a
bow, "you are to drink with me, and
turning toward the counter he noticed
the little glasses.
"'Here, Bill, he exclaimed, showing
them to one side, take these thimbles
away and bring out them goblets.
Didn't you hear the gentleman say
this was a member of congress.

Not Amusing For Him.

can amusing joke was perpetrated
upon a pat iotc neighbor of mine dur
ing the railroad strike" said Harry
Lemon of Chicago to st. Louis Globe
Democrat man. ''He regarded it IS
duty to tender his services to the city
government as special custodian of
the peace, and he evidently regarded
the position given him as an honor
second only to the United States Presi-
eency. He was otficious to a degree,
and interfered with the ubiquitous
small boy on every conceivable oppor-
tunity. His family was away at the
time and he was occupying large
house all alone. AT about II O'Clock
one night he was aroused by vigorous
knocking, and was informed by an APP
parently trustworthy messenger that
his services were required to assist in
preserving order on the railroad tracks
about mile from his house. Dressing
hurriedly, he rushed to the alleged
scene of danger and spent the bulk of
the night hunting up disturbance
which failed to disturb. When he re-
turned home tired and footsore he found
that his house had been ransacked from
basement to garnet, and that everything
worth taking away had beens removed.
1t was evident that party of burglars,
taking advantage of the absence of the
police on strike duty and the good
mans phenomenal activity, had pur-
pOsely called him away and cleaned
out his house in his absence. His en-
thusiasm cooled off rapidly after this
outrageous practical joke, and he has
lost the fervent desire to be enrolled in
the ranks of the am; teur police"

Economy and Artifice.
+ Ernvn fhn NnnthSS

The Duchess of Buckingham tells an
amusing Manori story belonging to the
period when these natives were at war
with England. All sorts of tricks went
on, such as are not only fair but COM
mendable in war.
When the Maoris were in want of
bullets they used to show a dummy in
the bush; of course it was immedia ely
fired at. A man in the background
pulled it down by a string.
"Oh," thought the British soldiers,
"we've done for himu'
Up came the dummy again, cautious
ly; bang, bang, went the British rifles.
Down fell dummy, and this went on
till some W ,rse marksman than usual
cut the dummy's rope. No Maori
would go up the tree to splice it, for
that exposure m, ant certain death.
The bullets were all taken out of a
little earthbank which the Maoris had
made behind the tree where the dunn
my appeared, and were used over a ain.
1t was long time before this artifice
was discovered.

The Lincoln Fountain Pen for
Holiday Gift.

Price 81 100 only; but the price is the only
thing about the pen that is cheap. The
Lincoln is in fact a $3.50 pen, and it is in
all respects frst-class pen. The editor of
this paper had tried, at various times, the
most approved high-priced pens on the mar
ket, and returned to the stub steel pen
every time as the only thing ready for busi-
ness on demand Some months ago the
Lincoln was sent him on trial, and it has
proved great success. 1t is always ready
to "go," but never overdoes the thing
the ink flowing always uniformly and in the
right measure This pen is now used in all
departments of this office, for all kinds of
service, and has stood the test without
failure. The Lincoln is also in use in the
banking, insurance, commercial and manu-
featuring offices of Montpelier, and has been
bought by people in all the professions and
empioyments. 1t is the UNIVERSAL FAVOR
TIE. Every pen guaranteed. For sale at
