Venture to recall Tennyson's splendid
verse depicting the service which good
women always have rendered and al
WAYS will render in times like these:
Thy voice is heard thro' rolling drums
That heat TO battle where he stands;
Thv face across his fancy comes,
And gives the battle to his hands,
A moment while the trumpets blow,
He sees his brood about thy knee;
The next, like fire he meets tne roe
And strikes him dead for thine and thee.

something to enjoy the novelty of such
government.
In Chicago wear a veil over your face.
Wells are usually intended for ladies' use,
but when the wind blows in Chicago.
and the dirt on the streets dries up and
gets in motion, yoa will find the veil a
good thing.
When you call on a man in his Office
remove your hat. Being acquainted with
Chicago ways, he will not expect you to
do this and that is why this advice is
good You will make an impression be-
cause of being so astonishingly polite.
Secure employment that requires your
going to work at in the morning and
remaining on duty till at night. That's
the correct system in Chicago.
If you should have the temerty to take
stroll along the lake shore, or so driv-
ing on a week day afternoon, do not at
| tire yourself like a man of leisure. for
that would cause people TO stare at you
and wonder what right YOU have recre-
ating while all other people are either at
work or trying to find work
When You feel like eating lunch, shut
Your eyes and follow your sense of smell.
! The restaurants are bad enough to make
choice too great a task. If YOU ask for
a glass Of claret at lunch don't expect
the waiter to bring it before Your order
Oh. no. thar would be like the walters do
in France. You will get the ciaret with
Your dessert.
You will find it best to coincide with
the large number of persons who MAIN
tain sarcastic regard for the famous
400 of New York, and your position as
thoroughly loyal ChicagoLn will be
helped thereby. Don't make remarks
about St. Louis. The time has gone by
! when Chicago felt it necessary to refer
| 10 it's superiority over St Louis. London
/ is now the only rival.
/ Don't hire cab in Chicago. The cabs
I there are almost as expensive as the
! cabs in New York. The cabmen of Chi
| cago would rather charge twice as much
as fares are worth and not be busy than
| TO accept a civilized price and have plenty

pt,' IL ..s.5 soon perceived That Renel.
Ter No ! had no intention Of runnino
away, nor Of going over to Ireland
From slowly cruising about four or five
miles Off shore she had steamed west
ward until she had reached q noint
which, according to the calculations of
her scientific corps, was nine marine
niles from Caerdatf. There she lay to
against strong breeze from the cast.
1t was not yet l0o'clock when the Off
Ter in charge Of the starboard gun re-
marked to the director that he s,Ipnosed
That it would not be necessary to give
the smoke signals, as had been done in
the channel, as now all the crabs were
lying near them. The director reflected
o moment, and then ordered that the
signal should be given at every discharge
OF the gun, and that the columns of black
smoke should be shot up to their ereatest
height.
At precisely 10 o'clock, up rose from
Eepeller No. II two tall jets of black
smoke. Up rose from the promontory
OF CacrdaiT, heavy gray cloud, like an
immense balloon, and then the people
on the hill tops and highlands felt a
sharp shock of the ground and rocks be-
meath them, and heard the sound of a
terrible but momentary grinding crush. L
AS the cloud began to settle, it was
borne out to sea by the wind, and then it
was revealed that the Notifications of
Caordaff had disappeared.
In ten minutes there was another
smoke signal, and great cloud over the
castellated structure on the other side of
the bay The cloud passed away, leav-
ing vacant space on the other side of
the bay.
The second shock sent panic through
the crowd of spectators The next earth
quake bomb might strike among them
Down the eastern slopes ran hundreds of
them. leaving only Il few OF the bravest
civilians, the reporters Of the press, and
the naval and military men.
The next motor bomb descended into
the fishing village. the comminutcd par
ticles of which, being mostly of light
material lioated far out to sea.
The detachment of artilerists who had
been del%tcd to man the guns on the
heights which commanded the bav, had
been ordered to fall back to the noun
tains as soon as it had been seen that it
was not the intention Of the rcpeller to
send boats on shore. The most courage
Gus of the spectators trembled little
when the fourth bomb was discharged,
for it came farther inland, and struck
the height on which the battery had
been placed. removing all vcstiges of the
guns, caissons, and the ledge of rock on
which they had stood.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1898-04-30

The motor bombs which the rcpeller
was now discharging We're of the largest
size and greatest power, and a dozen
more Of them Were discharged at inter-
walls OF q few minutes. The promontory
on which the Notifications had stood
was annihilated, and the waters of the
bay swept over is foundations. Soon
afterward the head of the bay seemed
madly rushing out to sea, but quickly
surge1 back to ill the chasm which
yawned at the spot where the village
had been.
The dense clouds were now upheaved
at such short intervals that the scene Of
devastation was completely shut out
from the observers on the hills, but every
few minutes they felt a sickening shock,
and heard momentary and horrible
the air. The instantaneous motor bombs
We're tearing up the seaboard, and grind
ing it to atoms.
1t was not yet noon when the bonn
bardment ceased. No moro puffs of
black smoke came up from the distant
repeller, and the vast spreading mass of
clouds moved seward, dropping down
upon ST. Georges channel in rain of
stone dust. Then the repeller steamed
shoreward, and when she was within
three or four miles of the coast she ran
up large white flag in token that her
task was ended.
This sign that the bombardmcnt had
ceased was accepted in good faith, and
as some Of the military and naval men
had carefully noted that each puff from
the. repeller was accompanied by u
shock, ii was considered certain that all
the bombs which had been discharged
had acted, and that, consequently, 10
further danger WAS TO be apprehended
from them. lii spite of this announce
ment many Of the spectators would not
leave their position on the hills, but u
hundred or more OF curious and courage
GUS men ventured down into The plain.

daft had been was Il new country, about
