Why There Yves No salute.

Black Jack Percival, who was ma
val captain before the war, once brought
q cargo Of Spanish jacks home in a
man-of-war. He was in Spanish waters
when the jacks were given to the Unit
ed States by Spain, says the New York
Sun, and was ordered to bring them out
in his ship. It made him very angry,
but he got the beasts aboard and sailed
for New York. When he came through
the Narrows, the guns had been rolled
back, and out Of every port there stuck
a jacks head. Thus decked out and
without salute he came to his anchor
age. The admiral commanding sent post
haste to demand why Captain Percival
had not saluted. 81 didn' t salute" twas
the doughty captains answer, because
I couldn't. I had two men twisting
every jacks tail, but not id one
of them would bray. "-Argonaut.
