RICHARD is A FIGHTER.
Lieutenant Commander Wainwright ~ o
Rival to "FightinC Bob"

hival TO 'f1Rhtfng Bod
Contemporary naval annals are now
threatened with Fighting Dick" In
addition to a Fighting Bob" and sure
Iy Captain Evans would not grudge
this need Of glory to his junior in the
line.
From that awful moment on the
night of February Is, when Wainwright
stood beside his captain on the sinking
quarterback of the Maine and gave the
order to lower away the boats, he had
looked forward to some such opportu-
nifty as that which linked his name
with the Gloucester as indissolubly as
Hobsons is linked with the Merrimac.
Not that Wainwright is a man to
brood on vengeance. He has heart
too big to cherish malice. Only his
dearest desire was that he might have
the good fortune to be an instrument
of retaliation.
No man knew better than he the
CHASTITY horrors that followed that
night in Havana harbor. No man was
more certain than he that the Maine
disaster was not an accident, and none
was better qualified to reach a just
conclusion. During all the long weeks
following the disaster it was Vain
wright who toiled beside the wreck.
and above 1t, from dawn till dark, di-,
rectlng the divers work, recovering the
bodies of the dead, familiar with every
development of evidence, the confidant
of every grim secret brought to light
by the submarine research.
April s, long after Captain Sigsbee
and all his other subordlnates had been
relieved of their painful task, VAIN
wright, the sole surviving officer of the
Maine left in Havana harbor, pulled
down the weather stained flag that had
floated day and night from the shrouds
of the wrecked battleship. When
Wainwright left Havana the United
States government relinquished it's SOW
ereignty over the Maine.

Was Considered Just the Man to Free
Cuba from the Spaniards.


Major General william Rufus Shaf-
ter, commander of the United States
army of invasion into Cuba, was re-
Gently described by his lifelong friend,
Senator Julius c. Burrows, as every
inch a soldier, and Just the man to
clean the Spaniards out of Cuba"
The son of pioneer farmer, william
R. Shafter was born in the town of
Galesburg. Kalamazoo county. Mich,
October 16, 1885. With scant educa-
tional opportunities, the future general
toiled on his fathers farm until he at
tanned his majority. By that time he
had saved sufficient money to carry
him through the winter term at the
Prairie Academy He returned to ag-
ricultural pursuits, but the monotony
of a farmers life was irksome to his
ambitious spirit, and the outbreak of
the civil war found him ready and will
ling to become a soldier. At the first
opportunity that presented, young
Shafter rendered his services as a
private. He was a fine specimen cf
manhood physically hardy, athletic, a
dashing rider, and very handy with a
gun. Persons in local authority appre-
ciated his worth, and he was commits
stoned first lieutenant in Company of
the Seventh Michigan infantry. He
was mustered into service few days
after the repulse of the Federal troops
at Bull Run, and from that time to the
present he has baen in tho rnilifarv ear
vice of the United States.

Making Horses Step High.

Spectacles for horses have been
patented by an inventor, and are be-
ing used with considerable success,
Their object is not so much to mag
nifty objects as to make the ground in
front of the horse appear nearer to his
head than it really is. The result is
continual high stepping, which, after
while, becomes natural, and gives
to horse an aristocratic gait, which
he will retain for many years.

A brand new style OF cycle rack
has been discovered by a Canton, Pa,
landlord. 1t possesses the combined
virtues of great efficiency and extreme
cheapness. He has taken the wheel
of an old farm wagon and after cutting
the spokes off half way to the hub,
has stood the hub on end in wood
en- socket in fixed position. Bicycles
are pushed in between two spokes,
which, radiating in all directions,
make it convenient for every user to
stow his wheel and remove it without
interfering with any ofthe others.
