and the signalman on the after bridge
of the flagship almost simultaneously
called the cruiser Montgomery. "Ap-
preaching, sir!" was the answer, while
sweeping along at a rapid rate, the
beautiful lines showing up well in
quaker gray paint, the cruiser came
down the roads preceded by the little
picket boat guiding her between the
dangerous lines of explosives. When
near the Brooklyn a salute was fired to
Commodore Schley and returned by
the flagship. Then the transport Pan.
Their, with 800 men, raised anchor, and
with the formidable cruiser as an es-
cort, started for the sea-. It was then
the enthusiasm broke out. Marines on
the transport crowded the decks in
long lines, and, waving hats, gave vent
to mighty cheers, while the sailors,
marines and even the fremen on the
big warship crowded to the forecastles
and returned them with a will. The
men on the Montgomery joined in the
cheers, and the cheers resounded from
ship to ship, continuing until the
transport and convoy we're out of hail.
Hardly had the pair gone than the
booming afar off announced another
approach, and the gunboat vicksburg
came along on the way out, firing a sa-
lutte to the commodore's flag. The flag
ship doomed seven guns. the men on
the Vicksburg swarmed into the rig
ging and almost lost their hats in the
enthusiasm. Every ship of the squad
ron returned the cheer with q will, and
the men went back to their duties with
an aching desire to follow the ships
out.

DR.. Mary Walker is thinking of get
ting ont a book entitled Thirty Years
N In Trousers for which she fondly inn
agines the public eagerly pants. She
shouldn't forget to include a chapter
detailing a spicy episode in her check-
cred career which occurred in Kansas

comparatively, a young woman then.
One sunny April afternoon she trippedi
jauntily along Main street, a shiny
plug hat. on her head and a natty gold
headed cane in her hand. Just as the
1ebOnair doctor passed Bullene's, then
at Seventh street, she was observed by
Officer Kelso, one of Kansas City's pio-
neer policemen, who was afterward
elected police Judge. Kelso was n rigid
moralist, and he followed DR.. Mary
With the avidity of II terrier after a
rodent. Soon after she was roughly
grasped by the stern officer, who de.
lnanded that he she or it accompany
him to the police station. The lady in
the b~ifurcated garments cast upon him
a whitening glance of contempt, which
only caused Kelso to tighten his hold.
Then she wildly protested and
screamed that her constitutional rights
were being outraged, but old kelso re.
torted that his modesty was highly
shocked, Furthermore that he was
born in Missouri and had to he shown.
And SO he pulled her along, followed
by q huge crowd, DIR. Mary shrieking
loudly all the way. Arriving at the
station Chief Speers greeted her with
quizzical smile and the uniformed
cesNsor with a wink, and she poured
into his sympathetic ears a p~laintivc
tale of woe. accompanied by some wild,
staccato notes of scorn for the typran-
nical minion Of the law who thus dared
to rudely trample OF her unalienable
privileges. After an hours parley she
was released, and the original new
woman, MS far as exact and exclusive
masculine garments are concerned, left
