A Menthcr story.
From DC WaghIngton 20


II was the dog watch and the two police
reporters were killing time at station No.
-. They were waiting for 3 o'clock to come
and close their labors
did ever tell you Of the deep snow IN
Marshalrs Pass?" asked the turnkey as
he cooked his feet on the table and stared
at the reporters. NO? Well, that's highly
curious. l almost froze that winter; r.

the hot weather yesterday revived It.

ProiectiIes and Armor plates.

tIOLl IldIpti W ttfAAJs
This subject ought to be clearly under
stood. for it is as easy as it is important.
Briefly stated. the projectile represents the
defensive and protective strength of the
United States; the armor-plate represents
the attacking energy of the strongest ma
val powers If the armor plate is impen-
etrable. sea power is irresistible. If, on
tho other hand, the projectile is irresisti-
BILE coast defenses are impregnable. To
state it in another way, it is question
which is the stronger. the gun or the ship.
The victory of the ship is a naval vic
tory. The victory of the gun is victory
for the land fort.
The result of the test made on May II
of an 11O0-pound Misunderstanding solid
steel shot, fired at 1900 yards distance
from a new thirteen-inch gun against an
eighteen-inch Carnegie armor-plate, was
accordingly a victory for coast defense.
The shot fired with velocity correspond
ing to the maximum striking velocity at
1900 yards range, broke the plate in four
places and buried itself in the sand bank
behind the plate. The shot was broken
to pieces. but the head was whole. The
heavy oak backing behind the plate was
completely demolished The result claim
ed. as established by the test. was that
no armor iii existence could keep out the
thirteen-inch projectile at 1900 yards.
Further tests viii be required to def
nitely establish the capacity Of the pro-
tectile against an eighteen-inch armor-
plate. The armor-plate used in this trial
was one of the acceptance plates for the
side armor of the Oregon. 1t had already
stood the strain of two acceptance shots
from the twelve-inch rifle and one from
the thirteen-inch gun. Two of these shots
had split the plate through and through in
another part AS 1t is, the tests are of
iucalculable value. They seem to decide
the question between the twelve-ineh guns
and the thirteen-inch guns on the new
battleships They certainly settle the
point that there is no warship af1oat that
could stand the fire of a thirteen-inch gun
from one of our battleships or from one
Of our land batteries.

WHAT IS THE BEST SUMMER DRINK
Spring water, Says "a bartender, hut
CIaret Punch Is Good.

From the Philadelphia Record.
what is the best summer drink know
of" said a well known bartender the
other day in response to an inquiry. wen.
for my part ! think spring water beats
anything in the world for making per-
son cool and comfortable and keeping him
that way, but II a person is of the opin-
ion that a little stimulant Of some kind
is absolutely necessary. why allow me
to heartily recommend claret punch. 1t
certainly is a fascinating cooler If prop
erly constructed. Take pint Of claret-
the ordinary kind will do-and pour It
into glass pitcher half filed with cracked
ice. Put in just enough sugar to sweeten
little, and add the juice Of a lemon.
Then when you serve 1t top off each glass
with a slice each Of orange, pineapple
and lemon, as well as a few Strawberries.
Sip the nectar through a straw, and I'll
wager a trip to Europe that you win
wish your neck was a mile long when the
delicious beverage is going down."

II was so added and dizzied by the
whlrls Of IL all, that l was hours getting
things straight in my head. When / did
come around so | could think in direct
line, me and my SNOWFALL were lying
quite still on our side and the stars were
looking down on US through the ragged
pines.
IN the morning while chilled plumb
through and unable 10 move by reason Of
my snow cocoon, / was not frozen, still

and was due to die Of starvation unless
some kind OF Christian friend came along
with an ak or some such weapon and
Matched me.
at was, perhaps, 8 O'Clock when [
heard voices Two men approached at
my cries. They were chopping ties in the
mountains and said that except for a
couple Of Englishmen on the other side of
the hill who were trying to hunt bears,
! was the first stranger they had seen
since September. They allowed they were
glad to meet me and asked where l got so
wrapped up in snow.
u was lying on my side in my snow
ball. and apologized for not receiving them
standing up. told them, too, that IL
they would take me down to their camp
and melt me out Of my snow l would ex-
plain all.
at first they tried to kick my snow
as ice. Then they rolled me down to their
shanty. which was only a few hundred
yards below. One OF the bear-hunting
Britons, who was a doctor and a man OF

scheme and / was set upon their drum

remained with me- so as to stoke up, and
also to keep me from feeling blue and lone
some and make me feel at home. We
passed a very pleasant half day together

But said the turnkey, looking at the
clock, its a. m. and time for you boys

sioners for being cruel"

true This is what the letter said:
"Office of Pelham's Pharmacy, "a Pat
