Probably no single vessel was ever
exposed 10 such hail of shot and
shell as fell upon the "Merrimac' be-
fore she went down in Santiago mar
Dor. From Lieut.. Hobson's account
# this famous exploit. graphically
given in the January Ceutury, we ex-
tract this account OF the first firing
upon the ship when it came within
quarter Of mile of MORO Castle:
Another ships length, and flash
darted out from the waters edge at
the left side of the entrance. The ex
pected crash through the ships side
did not follow, nor did the proiectile
pass over; it must have passed astern.
Strange to miss at such short raugel
Another flash--another miss This
time the projectile plainly passed
astern. Nightglasses on the spot re-
vealed dark object--a picket boat
with rapid-fre guns lying in the
shadow. AS sure as fate he is firing
at our rudder, and we shall be obliged
to pass him broadside within ships
length! II We only had rapid fire
gun we could dispose Of the miserable
object in ten seconds; yet there he lay
unmolested, firing point blank at our
exposed rudder, so vital to complete
success. A flash of rage and exasper-
alton passed over me. The admira
ton due this gallant little picket boat
did not come till afterward.

"A touch of port helm, sir, was the

Now, even without helm, we should

The Philosophy of Faith.

Do you remember how broken heart
ed you were when you found out that
your patron saint, your dear, myster-
ious Santa Claus, was myth? You
spent days and nights wondering how
he could get down the chimney with
out covering himself with SCOT and
powderipg all the presents he must
drag down with him with coal dust
and smoke. You examined as care
fully as you could the length and
breadth of the chimney; you specu-
lated as to how he could make the de-
scent without dropping suddenly,
since there was nothing inside the
chimney to which he could cling. Did
he use tiny ladder? Perhaps. But
your wise father and mother had new
er seen the ladder, and, besides, there
wasn't room enough in the chimney
for Santa, ladder and packet. But,
then, what mattered all these perp.ex-
ing, troublesome questions. since
Christmas morning your stocking was
full to OVERLOOKING and not the slight
est trace of SCOT on single gift! Once
upon fateful day You discovered that
your new doll, bearing the name of
Minnie Christmas, was clad in frock
of blue and white, exactly like your
little sisters cloak? Here was mys.
terry. How did Santa Claus get that
piece OF the new cloak2 You appeal
ed Immediately to your mother, who
admitted that it was a singular coin
cidence, and from that moment the
suspicious OF the truth haunted your
troubled heart. When the next Christ
mas dawned, with your maturer
knowledge you announced mournful-
ly: II guess l won't hang up my
stocking-there isn't any Santa Claus
and he never did come down the chin

Farewell to Valley Forge.

Nearly a score of years passed
away at Valley Forge, when one sum-
mer day tall gentleman of advanc-
ing years, dressed in black and riding
horse, was seen by the farmers while
working in the fields" writes Will
liam Perripe of Washington Christ
mas at Valley Forge" in the Decem-
Der Ladies Home Journal. Accom-
panied by his negro servant, he
alighted from his horse by the road
side and began kindly to put ques-
tons to one of the farmers. He told
that he had been in the camp of the
Continentals, that he expected soon
to leave Philadelphia forever, and that
he wanted once more to look upon the
scene OF the suherings of his comrades
in arms. He was pleased to see hap
piness and prosperity now around
him. He would stay over night but
his duties required him to be at the
Capital. When the farmer heard his
name he was astonished, and protest
ed that he should have been more re.
spectful. The stranger replied that
the sight of his companions of the
war now engaged in the happy pur-
suits of peace gave him more satisfac-
ton than any homage that could be
paid his person or his station as Pres
ident of the United States. 1t was
George Washington, soon about to bid
farewell in his great Office to his coun-
trymen, and as he rode away forever
what thoughts must have come over
him as be looked back in those piping
times of peace to the anguish and tolls
and the despair of that dark Christ
mas at Valley Forget"

Santa Claus Predicament.

Santa Claus seemed upset. He
stood off, put his hands in his pockets
and gazed in puzzled despair at the
row of long limp stockings. Here
was sticker. He went up to one,
turned it inside out, inspected it,
twisted it, counted its checks and
again stood of and looked at it in an
agony Of desparing uncertainty.
"Well, I'll bowed" said Santa, "if
in these days of bicycling, l can tell
which is man S and which is a wo-
mans" Then a sudden smile wreath
ed around his troubled face. "But I
guess 40 cent bicycle lamp will do in
either case
