Commander McCrea was aboard the
United States battleship Blake on the

COMPANIONS OF OUR DREAMS.
The Friends We Find In Books Never
Fall to Understand Us.

The Friends We Find In Books Never
Fail to Understand Us.
Once in q great while We measure
literary characters by living people, but
constantly We measure the living
against the ideal, writes Florence Hull
Wlnterburn of the companionship of
cooks in an article entitled Our Near
est and Dearest" in the Woman's Com
panion. And the ideal becomes real,
and the real seems remote and insig-
nlflcant when, as often happens, our
most passionate wishes are realized in
the friend between bookcovers, more
vital in his sympathy with our secret
self than the person who walks beside
us day by day, keeping step with our
gat. but out Of all understanding OF
the rhythmical movement OF our spirit.
1t is almost impossible for two persons
to have perfect comprehension of one
another for there is a plot in every
heart fenced about and marked uneX-
plored.' We fear to know ourselves
perfectly lest we should find something
to fear and shun, and yet be forced to
reveal it, But a spirit of yearning
dwells in this secret region, and its
cry is like that Of a lost child, seeking
to make itself known. How joyful,
then, the start with which We find in
the ideal world of literature where
feeling walks in open day, unabashed-
lineaments that declared kinship with
the dearest hope of our heart. This Is
the compensation for a poor, barren,
worldly experience. Even cooler minds
are susceptible to the influence Of the
literary companions they select; more
susceptible than they are to me guild
ance of their companions by the hearth
or in the exchange market. We put up
our guards when We walk abroad nor
are they wholly down when We are in
converse with the friends of our Dos-
ON. But to open beloved book is to
throw ourselves into a current that
shall carry us whittier it will. In read

This blissful condition continued
for six months or year. Then came
the usual uncertainties. suspicious and
jealousies that so frequently disturb
loves young dream and bring despair
to youthful lovers.
1T was this way: Our first lieuten-
ant was a dashing young officer, as
fearless as a young lion and so hand
some that the privates soon dubbed
him Master Prettyboy.' We were
cleaning our muskets one day, prepar-
atory to the morrow's fight, when Mas
ter Prettyboy came strolling along and
paused near us, saying to Jim, Lucy's
brother: L received charming letter
from your sister today. She sent her
love to you two boys and asked me TO
tell her how far you both ran at the
first fight
That night went to Jim and asked
him if the first lieutenant and his sister
had long been friends.
They played together when ba-
bies,' he answered. Sis thinks heap
of him.
THAT was enough. From that hour
my visions of sweet Lucy were blur
red with the mist of insincerity and
faithfulnesS. To be sure, we were not
engaged but We understood, and our
eyes had asked and answered the Ques-
tions which our lips were forbidden to
speak
MY love-life-as Ibsen calls it-died
one day when the first lieutenant,
beaming and smiling, hailed Lucy's
brother with: Congratulate me, old
boy; she says she'll have me-

A WISE COMM AMBER.

Lord Howe, who, in 1853. accompan-
led General Abercrombie in the attack
on Fort Ticonderoga, did not, like the
foolish Braddock, insist on fighting In
dams and Frenchmen according to the
military rules Of European armies.
While his army was encamped at AL
bany he forbade all display Of gold and
scarlet in the march, and ordered tie
barrels of the muskets to be blackened.
that the soldiers might not be seen al
a distance by the glittering of their
arms.
He himself set an example by wear
ing a soldiers coat shorn Of its tails,
and leggings made of cloth. The hair
was. in those days, worn in a bag or
queue by the officers. Lord Howe's
hair was abundant and fine, yet he
cropped it. and ordered the officers TO
do the same. The amount of personal
baggage and camp equipage then car
ried by officers was enormous.
One day the officers were invited to
dine with Lord Howe in his tent. When
they arrived. they were surprised to see
no chairs or tables, but bearskins
spread on the floor like rugs. Lord
Howe sat down on a small log, and the
officers followed his example. Present
ly the servants set down a large dish
of pork and peas.
Lord Howe took a sheath from his
pocket, drew from it knife and fork,
and began to cut and divide the pork.
The officers sat in silence, which he
interrupted by asking IL they were not
provided with similar portable instru-
ments. Then he distributed to each a
case like his own.
On the march he ordered that each
soldier should be provided with powd
cred ginger, and that it should be mix
ed with the water with which they fill
ed their canteens.
The simple prescription saved the
dives of many while marching through
malarial swamps, the water Of which
thirst compelled them to drink. The
wise and gallant commander was shot

COLORADO'S FAVORITE SON..

Hon. John +. Shafroth of Colorado
ranks among the best known and
most widely respected of the members
of the national house of representa-
tives. Mentally and physically he is
true representative of his mountain
state, possessing not only a powerful
physique, but an equally powerful,
rugged and athletic mind that meets
every occasion that arises with an
ability and courage that at once COM
mands the admiration of friends and
foe alike.
Mr.. Shafroth ranks high as lawyer.
and his opinion upon measures before
congress where fine points of interpre-
tation are involved is often sought by
his fellow-members before their final
acceptance or rejection of proposed
measure. When he addresses the
house upon any pending measure he
not only commands the attention Of
his fellow members, but has the conf
pliment paid to him of the presence
and attention of the leading members
in the press gallery. He has always
been a Republican in politics, and was
elected to the Fifty-fOurth congress
by that party. In 1896 he was elected
as a Democrat. He supported William
]. Bryan for the presidency and threw
the strength of his great personality
into the campaign with a force and
resolution possessed but by few men,
Mr.. Shafroth is a familiar figure in
the Supreme Court room of the United
States, where he is frequently called
to argue important cases appealed
from the supreme court of the state Of
Colorado and other states.

was changed to four years. In 1892 his
successor was elected, but died ten
