BEEF BOATS AND STEAK BOATS.
a New Kind of Ship in Uncle
Sans Navy.

An amusing mistake occurred III a docu.
eral OF the navy. Ia the report referred
to occurred tht wor is steak boatS.' Tie
judge advocate general looked at it for II
moment With puzzled air. All OF Ii sud.
den it occurred to him that 1t was intended u
for stake boats -
Well he said, Il have heard of beef
boats during the war, but a steak boat is
something new. Beef boat may account
for the mistake, but it can't go out on that
derivation. Change it,
Maybe steak boat is just the thing FOR
a chupry sea.

filed; il was rasped out Of court.
An interesting aspect has been given
to the letter for the reason that it may
get Mr.. WILCOX into trouble. One of the
State Department officials said that he
did not think the sentiment of the letter
amounted to anything serious, but 1t
came very near it. If wilcox had been n
citizen of this republic, aud had written
such a letter to England, he might be

Sir Isaac Pitman was born at Trow bridge,
Willis, January 4, 1913. After six years
service as a clpthier's clerk, he was sent
to the Normal College OF the British and
Foreign School Society, London, and after
five months training, at the close of 1881,
was appointed master or the British School,
Barton-on Humber. He established the
British School at wotton- Under- Edge, in
1886, and removed to Bath in 1889.
His first treatise on shorthand, entitled
"Stenographic Sound Hand" appeared in
1887 and he thus became the originator
OF the spelling reform, to which, and the
propagation of his system OF phonetic shott-
hand, he devoted his entire attention since
1S43. when the Phonetic Society was es-
tablished.
His system of shorthand was renamed in
1910 aud entitled "PhoROgrB ply. or
writing by sound and his Photographic
Reporters Companion" appeared in 1916.
Mr. Pitman edited and printed the Phonetic
Journal
Besides printing his own instruction
books, for teaching phonetic shorthand. Mr..
Pitman has issued little library OF about
eighty volumes, printed entirely in short
hand, ranging from the Bible To RasselIes
In the autumn OF 1887 an International
shorthand congress and jubilee of pbonog-
rapby was held in London, and Mr. Pit
mans family was presented with his bust
A gold medal from the photographers of
the United States and one from those Of
Great Britain and the colonies were pre-
sented to MIR. Pitman, in recognition Of the
invention OF his system OF shorthand and
Of bis labors for the reformation of English
orthography. Mr. Pitman received the
honor OF knight hood in 1894
