Aged from one year old to twenty,
Kisses better far than hoLey, can taste
their sweetness yet.

Given me by kindly misses
Is the ever-verdant memry Of kiss |

For one winsome little fairy,
With grace so light and airy,
Kept me ever fondly saying, Ill achieye

But at length she slyly vanished
With the gift for which famished

Reader, pardon this depression
Does pursuit or does possession
The greater pleasure bring? really

l'ye forgotten many misses
Who bestowed on me their kisses,
And III always recollect the girl whose
kiss I did not get.
Now, of course there is moral
In this simple story, for all
Those indiscreet young ladies, who will
sometimes much regret
That they gave their kisses freely,
For tkeyll fud a lover really
May remember more than all the rest

Naval NomencIature.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-One result OF
the radical changes in naval architecture
in recent years has been to render confus-
ing and inadequate the nomenclature which
has ruled aboard ship since the birth of
the first navy. Particularly misleading
were the terms applied to designate the diff
ferent decks of a ship. modern ship has
decks never known to vessels Of the old
navy; whole decks intended solely for pro-
lection against gun fire, partial decks that
would not have been possible to sailing
craft and bridges expanding into the di-
mansions of actual decks in parts of the
ship These have been christened haphaz-
ard by the builders, the sailors and officers,
and the result has been a degree of con-
fusion that is scarcely credible, making 1t
very difficult for the bureau officers of the
Navy Department to know just what part
of the ship is referred to in the reports
which come to the department. To correct
this in q measure, Secretary Herbert has
issued circular prescribing in great detail
the names to be applied to every deck in
the Ship from the bridges above to the
orlop deck below. and copies of this cir
service and every constructor, with instruc-
lions hereafter to only the prescribed
names on all occasions.

GREAT JOY AT ROBY
THE HAWKINS RECEIvERSHIP CASE
FINALLY DISMISSED.
Records I'm the Race Track Case
stolen from the Clerk of the Court
Results of Various Races.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HAMMOND. Ind. June 1.-THE counte-
nances OF the managers of the Roby race
track were wreathed In smiles as they
greeted their friends at the track to-day.
With the dismissal of the Hawkins receiver
ship case and the injunction case hung up
in the Supreme Court, the track is practi-
cally free from litigation for the first time
since the close OF the spring meeting Of the
Roby Fair Association. Now that there is
a likelihood of racing being continued with
out interruption, the officials are planning
TO increase the value OF the purses and the
possible opening of the entries for stake
races. 1t is said that the purses will be in
creased to $500 day and already tele-
grams are being received from all parts OF
the country for engaging stable room for
new horses. Fred Foster will arrive Mon
day with DR.. Rice and several other horses.
The Carmchaels, j. Hardy & Co. and the
Flash stables will arrive the first of the
week.
Six races were carded for to-day and $500
people came out to see them: While but
one favorite won, all the other winners
were heavily backed and the talent went
home happy. The war on the bookies be-
gan in the first race, when Rock. backed
down from 10 to to /, landed the money.
The event of the day was the fifth race, a
mile handicap for three-year-olds and up
wards for a purse of $500. Lulu L: was made
an even money favorite and, with the as
sistance of Wynn's fine riding, succeeded
in landing a winner. summaries:

FOR ENGLAND'S SAKE
REAL CAUSE OF THE PUNISHMENT
OF REAR ADMIRAL MEADE.
tary Gazette on the Degradation
of a Patriotic American officer.

NEW YORK, June 15.-The case Of Ad-
miral Meade, which had ceased to attract
much attention in naval circles here, be-
ing generally considered a closed incident,
has begun to evoke comment among naval
officers abroad. In the last issue of the
Broad Arrow, the naval and military
gazette OF Great Britain, which has just
reached the navy yard of Brooklyn, the
leading editorial is devoted to the subject.
The article says: 1.-THE American govern
ment has shown it's good will to England
not only by its amicable attitude over the
N;caraguan difficulty, but also by its sup
preston of Rear Admiral Meade, in COM
mand Of the American squadron. which
: was present on the Nicaraguan coast. Adj
miral Meade, with an indscretion which
is as painful to Englishmen as it is foolish,
expressed his regret that his government
had not allowed him to act with vigor
against US. He was anxious to support
the Nicaraguans in their farcical resistance
to our just demands, and for this he has
been punished. We cannot but deplore the
unfriendly attitude which certain American
naval officers occasionally assume toward
us. We have in our mind Admiral Bel
knap's pronouncement that the japanese
could easily whip the Britishers, as the
British navy was quite an inefficient force.
Such talk does an immensely of harm when
the two branches Of our race are drawing
closer together. Captain Mahan and Ad-
miral Erben did not think or speak in this
way, and on this side of the Atlantic there
is nothing but the friendliest interest in
the new American navy. We do not grudge
our cousins their greatness; we do not in
terfere with their policy, and we look
westward with hope to a future possibility
of an alliance which would be the only
really popular alliance in England"
