1t Was Riverside and Military Day--Some
Premiums Awarded

Yesterday was Riverside and Military
Day at the Citrus Fair, and it was one OF
the best days, in point of entertainment
and attendance, since the opening of the
exhibition. The Rlversiders did not turn
out in very great force, but the fruit was
there, and while it did not take first pre-
MUM, it was close second. All day long
and throughout the evening, crowds
thronged about the magnificent display of
fruit made by the Riverside fruit ex-

tinued the case until this morning, for an
opportunity to learn the particulars of the
crime.

A Joke on the Chaplain.

On one occasion, while executing
a change of base. our mail facilities
became demoralized, and for some
days we did not get a letter. At
every opportunity the boys. who had
become quite nervous over the pro-
longed delay, would appeal to the
good chaplain for u letter from home.
Failing to get one, they invariably
began to fire questions as to the
cause of the failure or endeavor to
get some explanation. 1t was Of
course part of the business of the
chaplain to comfort or encourage
the men. He did all he could in
this~direction, but in the army pa
tisRce soon ceases to be virtue,
even WITH preashers
The chaplain became tired of an
swering so many questions. The
same stereotyped reply. day after
day, al do not know anything about
the mails" finally irritated him so
that he shut himself up in his tent
and refused to see any one. He
was advised to place printed no.
tice on his quarters to the same eff
feet, SO that all anxious inquirers
coald see for themselves and not
annoy him. He finally procured
the top board of cracker box and
with a piece of charcoal from his
campfire wrote in plain letters the
following notice aud nailed il to a
tree in conspicuous place: "The
chaplain don't know anything about
the mails"
A w"g coming along, observing

bands Of outlaws were constant
menace to life and property in Hmm
gary, the widow Of wealthy mag
nate was living in q lonely castle
not far from the principle route be-
tween Buda and Vienna. The lady
received one morning q polite note
requesting her to provide supper at
10 O'Clock tina: night for IL gentle
men! There could be no doubt as
to the character of her self-invited
guests i; but she realized the futility
Of sending to town for help, as
every road would be watched and
her courier waylaid.
At 10 O'Clock that evening MP
rode an armed band ef IL men.
The castle gates were thrown open
and the mistress herself stood at
the entrance to receive them, richly
appareled, as il to welcome honored
and invited guests. She took the
arm of the chief and led the way to
the dining hall.
There a goodly feast was spread,
the tables and sideboard being
covered with magnificent display
of gold and silver plate, the &C
cumnlation OF many generations.
The leader Of the robbers started
in surprise, but quickly recovered
himself and acted the part of we'll
bred gentleman during the feast.
At it's close he said
MADAM, the happiest moments
of my life have been the shortest.
In appealing to my honor as you
have done tonight you have saved
me from the commission of crime.

Chicago Times The little pc
culiarities of women are fruitful
topic with some masculine writers.
They continually rush into print
with such questions as: Why does
a woman always want to know il
her hat is on straight? Why does
she keep waiting ten minutes after
she's declared she's all ready? Why
does she do this, that and the other?
Here's q counterblast from q wo-
man writer:
Why does a man rush through
his dressing and throw everything
all over the room, because he's in
such a hurry-he knows he'll be
late,' and then spend a good five
minutes filling and lighting his
pipe?
Why does he never put together
and fold up newspaper?
Why, when pretty girl praises
another mans charming manner,
does he say the girl is soft !?
Why can he never, by any posi-
bility, find anything he 10 sent to
look for in closet or drawer (?
Why is his headace or toothache

SECRETARY HERBERT DID Nor
FORGET His OLD BENEFACTOR.-
A romance has blossomed from the
dust of the administration routine,
and it does not deserve to waste its
sweetness on the desert air. Sec
rotary of the Navy Herbert is the
hero. Or, rather, the real hero
lies under the consecrated sod of
Gettysburg in that great silent
bivouac of heroes of the blue and
the gray. Secretary Herbert wore
the gray in those old days of strife,
and as he fell badly wounded from
his bullet riddled horse at the bat
tie of Seven Pines the worthy wear
er of the blue, who so soon fell as
leep on the other field Of honor and
duty, rescued him from the bayo-
net of fierce Northern soldier,
who would have transfixed Cne luck
less Southern officer. Only since
his elevation to the head of the navy
was Colonel Herbert enabled to
trace his unknown benefactor to
the tragic end at Gettysburg; but
he found still surviving an old COM
rade of the dead soldier who had
helped to bear the wounded Colon
ell to the rear. This veteran was
promptly installed in one of the
navy Yards at his post-bellum trade
of ship-calker; and no one will find
fault with this single violation by
Secretary Herbert of the civil SER
vice order established by himself.
