That joyial Irishman and sturdy Cal. whist, The Rev. John Hemphill, was having stiff discussion with Roman Catholic fellow countryman respecting the propriety of the prayers for the dead. the pastor of Calvary church, of course. opposing the practice. Neither of the controversialists would yield an inch. Finally the layman tried spe. oious argument:
 "Now, doctor, he said, "if one of your parishioners should die and be- queath you $50, 900. wouldn't you pray for him?'
 "No, sir. replied the stalwart de- fender of his faith positively. "I wouldn't pray for him. But would pray for another like i''--San Fran cisco News Letter.

Ing gown, or gowns, be wisely chosen, % that variety may be obtained by different accessories for different occasions. A pe- culiar or striking costume is always poor investment where the wardrobe Is limited, ns 1t must be worn over and over, and be- ing noticeable 1t therefore soon appears old and it is recognized unfavorably after it's first few appearances. For 0 young girl or woman white evening gown Is the most serviceable, as 1t Is youthful, becom- ing and susceptible of many alterations.

 Satin, bengaline, taffeta and the new goods called ''fieur de velours" are all suitable for ball costumes. The skirt alone may be of any of these goods, the bodice being of thinner material of the same tint, gathered and draped. The skirt worn by persons who dance does not share the lengthening tendency visible in most skirts--.it just escapes the ground all around. It is lined with silk and has very full ruffie inside the hem. The trim ming may be rutf1es of mousseline de soio or tulle, ruches of ribbon or chiffon or bands of moire ribbon arranged in parallel rows or forming vaudykes, Greek patterns or similar designs The ruohes also may outline pattern or give tablier effect, or even describe vertical stripes

 On the links of the Island Golf club at Garden City, N. r., two men were having hot game. with success about even. They were good friends and com piimented each other on their good shots and looked the other way after a foozle. Just as the younger one stepped upon the tee to drive off for the sixth hole very swagger cart came spinning up the road that crosses the links near that tee A stunning young woman was driving. She pulled up sharply near the tee and called out to the man about to drive:
 George, dear, won't you come home now and not delay luncheon?"
 The man strengthened up with an air of disgust at the interruption and re. piled:
 Not now. I'm playing the game of my life. ;"
 T wish you'd come, !" she said.
 No, not now, !" be answered. "I'm playing too we'll. I wouldn't quit this for 40 luncheons. I'm breaking my reo- ord by ten storkes.'
 We'll, I'll drive up and down here and wait for you" she said.
 As she started off George, dear, turned to continue the game of his life. He sliced his drive and lost the ball in the blackberry bushes ill the ravine. He dropped new ball and lost one stroke Then he topped the ball on the niblick shot out of the whir and didn't gain three feet Finally he got out with seven and was bunkered in the road that crosses the field. There he lost two more strokes and the rest of his temper Finally he got out of the bunker and with beautiful lie used his brassey for three-quarters iron and overshot the hole by 50 yards into the tall grass There the ball was lost.
 Ten minutes later the swagger cart was spinning down the road at the top speed of the horse, the stunning young woman sitting very erect and statu- esque and driving with superb skill. In the back of the cart, with his heels dan gling and brandishing two golf clubs, sat George, dear

There was considerable ill-feeling be.

Billy Chetwynde declaring that he
could paddle from Silver Glen dam to
the railroad bridge in twenty minutes.
Nobody had ever thought of doing 1t in
less than twenty-five before, and Hal
Burgess, who heard Billy's Boosting
from the other tent. stuck his head
through the Zap and said:
What you growing about, Billy? Do
you want TO make a new record for

was over we were all squabbling over

Nothing would satisfy us but a chance
tournament in which every member OF

against some member of the Burgess
fraternity. Now take my advice: when

If you want quiet time.
There isn't more peaceful spot in

TELEPHONES N The NAVY.


Our Warships Equipped with New
Set of Signals.
The present war between this country
and Spain Is credited with Fastening
the equipment. OF unite1 States naval
vessels with new gnaling system,
The apparatus on the Teiephotos
Company, OF Buffalo, has been APP
proved by the United States Navy De-
partment, and several sets are. being
made for American warships. The
telenhotos Is considered the most rapid,
most powerful and effective night sig
nal system yet invented. 1t consists Of
series of four double lanterns, light
ed by powerful groups of incandescent
lamps, the four double lanterns being
hung vertically on strong wire cables,
the upper end of which can be run up
to mast or yardarm, while the lower
end is Intended TO be fastened to the
deck of the vessel. The upper half Of
each lamp Is white and has within it a
group of three lamps surrounded by
powerful magnifying lenses. The lower
half Is red, and has four lamps, In or
der to make the red beams the strong
er, which are surrounded by heavy red
lenses.
The carefully insulated cable con-
meets the lamps and passes from the
lower one to the deck or bridge, where
a keyboard enables the operator to spell
out the code signals about as rapidly as
a typewriter is manipulated, and very
much In the same manner. The key

of signals. All OF these operations are
automatic and the combination is made
by one touch of the key. Another fea-
ture of the keyboard is that when one
letter is down all the other keys are
locked so that another cannot be acct
dentally pushed down and confuse the
signals.
Any key pressed down can be turned
one-quarter way around, like screw.
which motion locks it in place and
leaves the signal burning in case 1t Is
desired to use 1t as standing signal
for an order In the secret naval code.
Thus the keyboard can be used to tele-
graph ordinary instructions by the usu-
al letters, to send a cipher dispatch or
special code orders. Notwithstanding
all this apparent complication. the key
board is compact and its mechanism'so
simple that 1t cannot be readily dis
turbed or gotten out of order.
