On the contrary. she lacks in appear

the popularity of the Mangrove due to
any unusual achievement during the
war with Spain. AS naval vessel she
appears to have been eminently peace
full.
Nevertheless the Mangroye Is not
without fame and her name will be re-
called by future historians of the ma
TONS greatness on the sea long after
those of Far more important ves-
sells have been forgotten. It was
on the MangroSe that the court of in

her an interesting vessel and caused

to ask to have her pointed out to them.
She is anchored close in shore, just off
the Chamberlin Hotel, and, although
she wears the regulation lead colored
paint of the government looks more
like q river steamer than a warship.

tothe street railway company for work.
Out of the forty, three were employed.
Thirty seven men went home to their
families disappointed, discouraged.
The glorious old sun arose Sunday
morning in all the splendor common to
it on a spring morning. The birds were
singing songs of gladness and nature
everywhere smiles her sweetest smile.
But thirty-seYen men were soriowfully
brooding over the failure to secure the
one job. They might have been as hap.
py as the birds had the anxiety for even
an opportunity to earn livelihood for
themselves and loved ones not been
blowing burrows on their brow. But
another week must bring with it the
experience of the past. The grocery
man and the landlord must have their
money. Where could it be had? Ev-
cry place or position vacant perchance
