THIS MAN WANTS WAR.
tie Is Extremely Anxious for Some-
thing to Happen Before Moving
Day Comes Around,

"There's one thing about this war bust
ness, said the man with the indeterminate
mouth, that sort O. consoles me. 1t may
put stop to my Wlte,s mountaineering agi-
tatlon, which always becomes something
fierce as the first of May draws Closer Be-
tween, going to war, anywhere or under
any Old circumstances, and moving, gimme
war every time! I'm living in hopes that
the thing'll break out biggern bunch of
coyotes before May l. When we moved
INTO the house we're occupying now, my
Ml1 e. was enthuslast1c over it. She called
something like that, that she'd ever seen,
and said she'd be perfectly willing to live
ana die IN such Il love of a little home. But
she's been hedging more or less all winter,
and the other day at dinner she came out
Hat,1ootedy and made her declaration that
with us 1T was a case of move on May l. 1t
seems that some woman friend Of hers down
IN the next block had porcelain bathtub
and one or two other confixin's put in her
house, and VIGOROUSLY showed them to my
wife. My wife went to our landlord and
gave him bad quarter of an hour, I'll bet,
told her that the porcelain bathtub scheme
would have to follow little later she told
him he could have his old ancient Aztec
house after the first day Of May. When we
first moved into the house we've got now
my wife couldn't talk enough about the
!dylllc quletude that relgned IN the neighbour
hood Now she talks day and night about
the yelling of the kids on the block She
says they re the noisest mavericks this side
O the Panhandle, but | never hear 'em.
The bathtub we've got looks all right to me-
but my wife says it's chocl full Of typhoid
and death, and what she says goes, | s'pose.
Now, if this here war'll only get move on
and break out in time, why, | may get a
show to pack amusket wherever it's going to
happen along with the rest of the gang and
this year anyhow As between packing a

MY FIRST Fart.

She was The fairest, bonniest lass
That mortal ever knew;
The roses blush was on her cheeks,
Her eyes had caught the blue
OF June-time skies; around her head
Bright, golden ringlets danced, ;
And when my sweetheart smiled on me
l felt my heart entranced.
I found her sitting meath the trees
One glorious day in May,
The breezeS with her dancing curls
Were merrily at pay;
looked at her with steadfast gaze,
She turned her eyes on me,
They brimmed with love, our warm lips
met
IN kisses one, two, three.
That day was years and years ago,
But I can ne'er forget
My first sWeetheart'S beWitChing eyes,
And, oh, l love her yet
AS fervently as in those days
When first on me she smiled;
And she loves me, know it, for
l am her only child.

HOW A SAILORS PAY GOES.
Reckless Jack Tar Usually Squanders
His Wages, Sometimes
by Proxy.

nat 90 the jack tafS IN the navy
do with all their money, has often
been asked, although most people have
answered the question to their own
satisfaction beforehand by deciding
that they spent it the first chance they
got. Many Of the younger or newer
ones do get rid of their cash at the first
opportunity, but then they spend it
themselves and get their. moneys
worth, or what they think or are made
to believe is their moneys WORTH
Those who are really warm in their
following seldom take all. their wages
from the paymaster. They let him
keep it during the cruise and draw four
per cent. interest on it until the cruise
is over. Then, of course, some spend
it all before they go back to the ship.
b They have a good time all in a lump
and are satisfied to wait for extrava-
giant days again until another cruise
is over. These are the men who have
no *one except themselves to care for.
While on the man-of-war they need not
go short of anything and yet not use
their money. Moreover, they Will prob
ably attend to their duties better and
have a much finer time when the cruise
is. at an end.
relatives to care for usually send their
money home regularly and faithfully.
Often, however, their confidence is
meanly abused. Married men make up
this class. They send their wives COM
Portable incomes and that is all these
wives care for them for. These are
the wives who married simply for what
there was in marriage in a money way,
with the additional advantage or con-
venience of not having a husband
around much. Unluckily for women Of
this class, not all jack tars can main
tain wives. Only chief petty officers or
tirst-rate petty officers can afford the
luxury of marriage, and even they have
to watch out pretty keenly not to i'm
pair the due to their better halves.
Many of these better lhalves are adj
venturesscs pure and simple, who make
it business to get acquainted with
naval men, make an impression, get
married and then take the money sent
to them and do what they please
marry, some one else at another navy
yard belonging to another ship some
times, and keep track Of the cruises of
the vessels.
The older men seem to fall most east
ly before the adventures. And when
they discover their mistake and have
obtained divorces and are free again
usually get back into the same boat.
Still, many woman is sailors wife
who has not seen him for years who
is just as good and true and saving as
woman ever was. She takes care Of
baby while he is away and almost dies
for JOY when she can meet him at the
end Of a cruise. Sailors, too, in many
cases are just as true to their wives,
although sometimes with them only
two months in three years. Then,
again, Others slave simply that son
or a daughter, a brother or a sister,
may get an education and will n ot have
to work as hard as they do, or are
sailors so they can earn enough to keep
an aged parent out of want.-N. Y.

driven from their homes and made de-
