TAKING TO WATER
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The United States seems to take as nat urally to water as cat takes to cream Six months ago we didn't know cruiser from a gunboat and now we are nautical to the top notch. We talk boats, we think boats. We have pictures of boats all over our daily papers; boats decorate our mag azines, boats cover our billboards. We fight naval battles with gravy boats and sail cracker boats in wastes of steamy soup. The mere pigmies of the land, the crawling infantry. the hoppity-kickity cav airy, the trunding artillery. are for the moment set aside. It is the sailor lad, with his rolling gait, the bully of the after deck, the captain in his coming tower, who hold our hearts affection. The gorgeous galaxy of generals may bedizen themselves as they will; it is the admiral on the bridge who catches the admiring eye of an ador- ing public.

Phillips Brooks

From the Church Union.
 A lady was travelling from Providence to Boston with her weak minded father Before they arrived he became possessed of fancy that he must get off the train while it was still in motion, that some absolute duty called him.
 His daughter endeavored to quiet him. but it was difficult to do it, and she was just giving up in despair when she noticed a very large man watching the proceed ings intently over the top of his newspa- per. AS soon as he caught her eyes he and crossed quickly to her.
 q beg your pardon" he said, "you are in trouble. May I help your"
 She explained the situation to him.
 "What Is your fathers name," he asked.
 She told him, and the large man, lean- ing toward the troubled old man. had addressed him by name. shaken hands cor dially and engaged him in a conversation so interesting and so cleverly arranged to keep his mind occupied that he forgot his need to leave the train. and did not think of it again until they were in Bos- ton. Here the stranger put the lady and her charge into a carriage, received her assurance that she felt perfectly safe, had cordially shaken her hand, and was about to close the carriage door, when she re- membered that she had felt so safe in the keeping Of this noble-loolxing r22n that she had not even asked his name. Hastily putting her hand against the door, she snid:

Merritt Likes Peanuts

From the Washington Star.
 "A few weeks ago." said Washington man who travels good deal, q was cross ing from New York to Brooklyn on the Fulton Ferry. I stood on the forward deck of the ferryboat to get breath of air. Standing alongside of me was a ragged newsboy, industriousy munching some hot peanuts that he had gotten at the ferry entrance. On the other side of the peanut eating newsboy was fne-lookng, elderly man, of a decidedly military appearance. This military-looking man was to the wind ward of the boy with the peanuts, and he began to sniff hungrily, as I noticed, as he looked at the urchin beside him. He watched the boy munching his peanuts until the ferryboat was half way across the East river. Then he held out the open palms of both of his hands to the lad, saying: For heavens sake, boy, give me some peanuts, quickr
 The boy, who knew his gait all right. grinned, and dumped half the contents of his bag of peanuts into the elderly mans hands. The latter ate those peanuts vora- ciously for the remainder of the trip across, and when he disembarked he led the newsboy up to a peanut stand and bought him a whole armful of 'em. The elderly, miitary-looking man was Major General Wesley Merritt who's now going out, see, to help George Dewey run that new acquisition of ours the Philip pine Islands,"

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE WAR
Admiral Dewex,s Glass

It was forty-four years ago that Rear Admiral George Dewey entered the naval academy with seventy-one other boys, each anxious to be naval officer. The members of his class represented only thirty-one states of the union. The Army and Navy Journal says of Dewey's class:
 Before the termination of the four years course at the academy forty-nine of these novitiate. officers had resigned and one had been dismissed. Only twenty-one of the class remained to graduate and re- ceive their first commissions as officers of the navy. Soon after six others resigned and before they had advanced a single grade in rank. One resigned later on, two were killed in battle and three others died. When our war with Spain opened only seven of these officers remained in the navy, and two of these. Allan V. Reed and Joshua Bishop, were and are still on the retired list of the navy. The five officers on the active list are Commodore John A. Howell the inventor of the torpedo that bears his name and now commanding the northern patrol squadron; Commodore Henry L. Howison, Commodore Albert Kautz, Commodore Norman H. Farquhar and Admiral George Dewey.
 By such process of evolution and selec- ton it Is that we obtain our heroes. The foundation for the victory at Manila was laid in the section room at the academy; in the experience gained in lonely watches at sea- in the crash of battle at New Or leans under Farragut, and in the sincere discharge of the multifarious duties of the faithful officer during long and weary years. It is only thus that such results can be obtained; yet there are men foolish enough to imagine that we need no pre- paration for war. or, at least, who talk and legislate as if they so believed"

General Fitzhugh Lees Desperate Attempt
 to Make a Train

General Lee had an experience recently says the Richmond, Cva.) Times that was little aggravating to him. As soon as he received the telegram asking him to come to Washington he made preparations to leave on the train that passes Elba Station soon after I o'clock. He was not aware of the fact that a new schedule had gone into effect, and that the train left few minutes earlier than formerly. He bade his family good-by and walked leisurely over to the station. At Laurel and Franklin he stopped to chat with friend, thinking he had plenty of time. During the conversation he saw the train coming. It was at Main and Belvidere. A street car came along. and the General lost no time in boarding it. He asked the conductor to make the best time possible The man cracked his whip and the mules started off at gallop.
 There was but two passengers other than General Lee in the car. One was drunk en man. He wanted to get off at Frank lin, and rang the bell frantically as soon as the car got up speed. The driver checked the team. General Lee begged him not to stop. but the driver said he was compelled to give the passenger time to get off.
 You go ahead and will take care of the passenger said General Lee.
 The mules were again made to show r their heels while the general tried to handle the intoxicated passenger.
 My friend,' said the general, -'you wish to get off at Broad street and not Frank lin."
 Flow in the thunder do you know?" asked the man.
 Because I am a student of human ma. ture. I am your friend. Please do sit down."
 By the time Broad street was reached the gates went down and the car stopped abruptly General Lee jumped out just in time to see thes train go by at too great a speed for any man to board it.
