The Scouts of the Sea.

Torpedo boats, however are designed
for Il wider service than simply to carry
and discharge the ! frightful weapon
from which they take their name
They are to the navy what scouts and
skirnlisllcrs are to land army. They
form the cavalry of the sea, of which
the cruisers are the infantry and the
ba!!l"S:,:;:s and mentors the artillery
arm. They must spy out the position
fIallls CT haunt his anchorage to ascer-
means to 40 next. They must act rs
ing the neighborhood, or waiting and
in inicts and river mouths ready to
ing Of any movement OF the enemy.
1T is not their business to fight lex
ce;;t rarely, in the one particular way),
but rather to pry and sneak and run.
Hence they are as small and sleek and
swift rs they can be made. When the
1cat goes riuu cruise, they are car
rind on the decks of the big warships,
although the, are able to get about in
really rough weather by themselves. A
very recent idea is to build them out of
aluminium. which would be not only of
great advantage toward ease of trans
portation, but would tend toward in
creased speed, by adding buoyancy and
elasticity to the structure, which seems
to skim along the surface and fairly
leap from wave to wave; but it is
doubtful whether aluminium is strong
enough for safety and whether it will
not be injured by the chemical action

pedo Boats" by Ernest Ingersoll, in st.

"WHY WOMEN SHOULD wOO.n
1t Seems to BE About Time They
Had Their Turn

1t Seems to BE About Time They
Had Their Turn
The Chaperone Magazine tells 'Why
Women Should Woo.' 1 haven't read
the article, but I have no doubt at all
that hosts of good reasons could be
found why women should WOO. In
fact, 1 can think OF a good many my
self. They have more time, to begin
with. and they seem to know how to
go about it better No woman is half
so awkward during the courting pel.ioG
as the most graceful man. Sweet
speeches come instinctively to her lips,
and the art Of tuclling a flower neatly
into the button hole Of coat is hers,
though she had never brother or a
male cousin. while all the sisters at
home ever possessed by any youth
never taught him to place 4 rose above
his lady's brow without ticl.lin. her
ear and allowing the thorn to prick her
neck. BY all means let women WOO.
Let them pay the installmcnts on ting
diamond ring, too, and lire the boats
at the picnic and pay the car fares as
we'll; let them buy the bouquets when
ever there is ball on the tapis, ana
when all is done let them hustle out
after long happy evening of love-
making and try what fun it is to go on

nut Hill to Grove Hall in the last car

Foxes are devoted PARENTS, like all of
the lower cr;ler of animals, and the
way they provide for their young is
something amazing. It is related that
one fox in Scotland had developed such
a marked fondness for lambs that ef-
forts had to be made to find her lair.
After long hunt the men succeeded,
and in the den five young foxes We're
found. They found also store of food
calculated to last long while There
We're lambs, rats. curlew, plover, ducks,
partridges. and. most astonishing of all,
seventy-six short-eared owls. All the
the game was dead. and the hunters
soon dispatched the young foxes, and
also Mrs. Reynard, when she ap-
proach her lair.

The Czarina's Spoiled Gown.

For many months past the most
skilled workers Of embroidery in the
Russian converts were hard at work
embroidering, in delicate gold and sill
vcr. on white satin, the coronation
train of the czarina. AS it was so
enormously long it had to be worked
in separate pieces and sent 10 ST.
Petersburg and pieced together. Judge
OF the CONSERVATION of the court

ul.wrapped. All OF the beautiful silver
threads had turned black! How such
Il c;etastrop!l> could have occurred is
roljei in mystery. The only possible
conjecture that can be arrived at is
that the paper it was wrapped i'll mast
I,..ve had some corrosive acid in it.
E,sy fingers worked night and day to
finish another in time. OF course it
WAS impossible to produce in Il few
days what The work of months of pa
tic!,t labor did. and the beautiful
czarina was obliged to wear Il less
magnificent gown than was at first in

GREAT SUCCESS.

s. Now that we have started on cash basis
8 whole object is to increase trade and see
81 how cheap we sell goods In short time
81 we shall be in position to sell even cheaper
s. than it is possible TO do at present. Our new
y prices are not simply cut few lines of
8 goods that are going out of season that store
= may be overstocked with (you don't want them
y at any prce) but staple goods such as groceries,
u cottons, clothing, overshoes, boots, shoes, fan.
u nelette's, ginghame, tinware, shelf hardware
y nails, oils and repairing of all kinds. Every
y thing we have is figured to a very close margin
y above the cost and the closer we can buy the
:; cheaper we can sell. In order to buy right we
u have got to have the actual cash and buy in the
q eastern markets That is the secret of trade.
81 We are meeting with grand success as far as
q we have gone. It seems that the people have
81 been looking some time for place where they
8 can buy things right without sending their mon
81 ey out of town. You say you don't want to pay
5 for other peoples goods or in other words for
- goods that have been sold and never paid for
~ You have got to pay your share for them at
"a store where credit system is carried on as
u every man who ever who ever did a credit busi-

y have and the people who pay their bills pay

q Our prices in hardware will be noticed as
a we were selling hardware on cr dit at hardware
q prices we are selling for cash on very
q close margin. Come in and get our new prices,
y see what we are doing ask your neighbors about
q it, don't pay the old prices any longer, they

OF light. The cells are comfortable
with simple furniture and in all
the cells were found more or less
pictures and other nick-nacks on
the walls. The only thing sug-
gestive of punishment being the
dreadful silence. Men moving
about like automatons IN their
striped suits seemed to belong toa
different species to our kind. The
glove may be Of velvet but the iron
hand is there just the same. AS
we passed along the corridors I
noticed the name "Pancoast" upon
cell door, and remembering that
to be the true name of Kent, so re-
Gently convicted OF wife murder.
l waived all politness and took a
good look at the inmate. [ saw
standing in the far end Of the cell,
with his face partly turned away, a
tall, slender middle-aged man,
whose appearance alone would
excite sympathy, but I was assured
by one who knows his record that
all such sympathy is misplaced. 1
have not room to repeat the story
OF his life as it was told me, but I
am convinced that his present po-
sition is but the logical conclusion
OF such a life. During our prog
!.ress through he institution an
event occurred that furnished lots
of fun for one half Of the party, but
at the expense Of the other half.
The warden, who was acting the
part of guide, got through the gate
with the lucky ones. We saw the
guard open the gate from his posi-
ton on top of the wall and con-
cluded he would do the same for
us when we should ask him. But
he refused to take the same rosy
view of the situation and when we
bade him cope the west port and let
us gae free!'' the gowk wadna, and
50 we we're compelled for a time to
fill the unique position of being
members of the state assembly and
prisoners in the penitentiary at the
same time. There's were the laugh
came in, but Of course our crowd
could not see anything to laugh at.
I told the warden that II had my
opinion of guard that could not
distinguish between a representa-
tive and convict I thoug hit that
was cllncher until one of the
party remarked in q smooth inno-
cent kind of way that "He be-
lieveh there were many others
troubled with the same lack of pre-
ception.' I feel free to say that
their conduct was remarkably un-
dignlfied for convicts.
When passing Through the
Sheridan the other morning, I be-
held with as much pleasure as
though he we're long lost brother,
the jovial, good-natured face Of one
of your most prominent citizens.
After few words Of greeting he
told me that some burglar had en-
tered his room through the night
and thrust roll Of greenbacks
into his pocket and pulled out a
roll of bills as big as my arm
to prove his tale Of woe. Re
markable case Of burglary, isn't
it? I do not hear that he has
lodged any information at police
headquarters, or offered any re-
ward for the capture Of the burg
lar. Meanwhile swirl goes the
roulette ball, whirl goes the wheel
Of fortune, craps, faro and other
things to numerous to mention are
all in full blast. One of our men
introduced resolution to stop the
whole law breaking brotherhood,
but as it was a joint resolution it
must take its place among the bills
and it has not yet reached it's first
reading. --BUTTERwIcK.
