KRTGER'S DOG.
How He Used II to Point IA Moral to
the Reporters.

The true account OF r PRESIDENT Kruger's re-
cent canine analogy is too good to be lost
When the reformers called upon him and be-
gan to thank him for their relea Sc, tie old
man look ed at them for a moment and then
said, ironically: '.Sou-e dogs which have
been ceaten hex the feet OF their master.
Others slinE away and snarl and try to
bite again 1 hope you are not going to
suari any more There was a painful
pause, broken at length by loud guffaw.
a. the president turned TO an interpreter
and said: You needn't translate that, it's
o:iy my little Joke" HIS honor resumed IN
the terms already sumu uarized here:
You have asked ne to he mercifal to
the remaining pri isoners, and l will answer
you ina pa ra Bile. There was once q naughty
little dog, and IL was beaten II was
right to beat that dog, because 1t was
naughty But what should be Gone to the
owner OF that dog, who stood by and said
.saa:'" Then, dropping The parable, this
president exclaimed: Rhodes is the own-
er ofthat dog, What shall be donet TO him."
The GepGtation rather looked as though.
in the popular phrase they would Ike to b
asked another.

COURT MARTIAL TO FOLLOW
Someone Will Suffer for the Brook.
lyn Dry Dock Disaster.
Lightning Will Probably Strike In
High Places When an Invcsli-
cation Is Made.

While Navy Department officials have as
yet obtained only the most meager cetails
of the Brooklyn Navy Yard casualty, no
doubt exists that some one has been cul-
pably negligent and that the board of in
qury which will at once investigate the
occurrence will result in the oourt-niartial
OF at least one officer high In the service.
The earliest iniimation here that any
thing out of the ordinary run had ha opened
came to Acting Secretary McAdoo Sunday
HooB in the following Telegram from the
commandaDt at the Navy Yard:
''BroosiyD, Aug. 9.-At 8 last evening
csissop dry dock No. slipped from groove.
Instantly filled. caisson capsized and
sank. Ercsson's tow badly stove in; other
wise apparently uninJured- Couimandant's
barge badly injured. Appa arently no fur
ther serious damage. Examining by divers
ard attempting to right the caisson. Fur
ther Information by mail when obtainabie.
.SICARD."
The only conceivable way such an ac
cident could have been brought about ac-
cording to the experts here, is that the
water in the caissun was permitted to
escape into the dock which luckily was
empty at the time and in this condition q
slight swell or rising tide taking advantage
Of the caisson's buoyaDcy lifted it fIom
the groove where il is ordinarily held In
place by the pressure OF the water outside
and by its own weight when filed.
1t is sst possible with the details at
hand to point ont the responsibility for the
disaster. The maintenance OF docks Is
chargeable through the bureau OF yards nd
docks to the civil engineer OF the yard.
while the use Of docks is under the con-
straction bureau represented by the naval
Constructor at the yard. II he had turned
the dock over for the time being. having
no immediate use for it in the absence Of
ships requiring docking. the trouble can
not be laid to him, but 1t is certain that
some one viii be held stnctly accountable
for letting the water out OF the caissol-
The Departrne is at a less to account
for tie failure OF Commodore Sicard to
send additional details, and he has been
asked to be more definite at once Com
mosiore Matthews, chief OF yards and docks.
Will be recalled from his summer home at
Newport. and ordered to investigate tho
accident.

DOUBLE QUICK TINE.
His Retreat Was ''in Good Order"
However.

Youths Companion =.
An ancient resident OF Wiliowby. whose
conduct n one o the battles of tbecivil war
had brought him under suspicion of cow
artiice. was naturally indisposed to admit
lhat he had played any but manly part

Judgment aud retreated.''
This statement was regarded as more or
less satisfactory up u the day when a mi H.
tary gentleman came TO visit cousin In
wnlowby. and in the course OF a conversa-
ton held at the village store one evening
heard the oft-repeated explanation
well, my friend.' he said, looking
steadily at the hero OF the retreat. you
say you retreated in good order, but
should ike to ask one thing: About how
fast did you go?'
