FIVE KILLED IN BATTLE.
-Four of Our Cruisers Meet the Span

les at Cardenas.

Washington, May 12.-Sad news
came to the navy department from
the blockading fleet on the Cuban
coast, telling of the death in action
of FIVE American sailors, the first to
shed their life blood for their coun-
try since the outbreak of the war.
The press kilograms had already
announced that the Hudson had ar
rived at Key West bring the body
of Ensign Worth Bagley, but as mo
other names were given at first the
officials were keenly anxious to
learn who the other victims were.
At half past 10 a brief telegram
came address to the secretary of
the navy. 1t read as follows:
"Key West, May 12.-Secretary
of the Navy: In action in Garden
as harbor yesterday between Span
ish gun boats and shore batteries
and the blockading vessels the fol.
lowing named men were killed on
the torpedo boat Winslow:
Worth BaglY, ensign U. S. N.
John Varvers, oiler.
81. Denfee, fireman, first class.
elijah B. Tunnel, cabin cook.
"The wounded are:
y. B. Rernandou, lieutenant
commanding Winslow.
William Patterson, seriously
but not fatally.
Daniel M. Mickerson, quarter
master, slightly hurt.
Dead and wounded arrived on
U. S. S. Hudson this morning.
"Dead will be buried today.
(Signed) "Remey."
In this engagement the Winslow
was so badly crippled that the sail
ors and gunners found it necessary
to abandon the same, and it was
while they were being transferred
that the shell which killed the men
exploded in their midst and did its
work.

An Accidental Success.


Once upon time, SO runs the story,
there was man in London who had
ventured upon various publishing
schemes with but poor success and was
beginning to despair Of ever making q
fortune when, by chance, he bethought
himself Of a huge scrapbook which his
wife had compiled of various literary
odds and ends that had enchanted her
fancy. She called her scrapbook .sTit-
Bits, and it occurred to her husband
that such odds and ends, published in
periodical form, might interest other
people as we'll as his wife.
The result Of this meditation on his
part was the appearance of little pen
ny paper called Tit-Bits, which proved
SO popular and gained such wide cir
culation that its proprietor felt encour-
aged to place other literary ventures on
the market, and it was not long before
he became known as the publisher Of a
number Of extremely popular penny
periodicals. He is now millionaire
many times over and a baronet, while
his wife, whose scrapbook proved the
cornerstone Of their prosperity. finds
her reward in the title of Lady Newnes.

that he Unanswered himself out of the

About ten years after this happened
there We're dark rumors about his af-
fairs, and it was limited that the great
Gould was not what he was supposed
to be in pecuniary sense. He disposed
of these doubts in very simple man
ner. He invited number of gentlemen
to his private Office, and when they ar
rived he laid on the table before them

his own name to the value Of $53, 900, :

Tha GARDEN GATE.


Long ago in childish terror
From a fancied gnome / fed,
Casting frightened glances backward,
Longing looks toward home ahead,
Through the lane and by the windows,
Swift and sure as feet of fate,
Never staid till behind me
Changed and clasped the garden gate.
Blessed gate of happy childhood,
Barring harm and sorrow out,
Where the shadow of the homestead
Threw protection round about!
Blessed warders, peace and safety,
Holding watch for wanderer late,
Closing with their arms about me
When shut the garden gatel
All things fearsome lay beyond it,
Springing foe and lurking vile;
All things true and right within it,
Clustered round my mothers smile.
But the years came creeping, creeping
Years that would not bide and wait
Till, despite my bitter weeping,
Foes came through the garden gate
All, how struggled with the stranger,
Pale and terrible and grim
Unclasped the hands that fain would hold i
AS he came through the twilight dim.
I" A little whilel Oh, pallid stranger,
A year, day, moment wait
We love him sol" Death gave no answer,
Except to come within the gate.
And now know that sais no longer
Falls the cottage latch for me,
Thought /, waiting, watch beside it
With Whitened head and bending knee.
Yet, with eyelids closed and weary,
Quite forgetting day or date,
dream again how bright the heaven
Whose portal was the garden gate.

The Mauser rifle in hard work is
found to be mistake. 1t has q case Of
five cartridges, which have to be all
used before any can be reinserted. That
is to say, if soldier has occasion to fire
three he must go on and waste the 9TH

rounds in his gun. Nine times out of
ten he prefers to be ready with a full

Oxford Bibles,

Everybody has heard Of the Oxford
Bible, and everybody knows that it is
printed on peculiar paper, but the
story Of that paper is a story of the tri-
umph of perseverance. In McClure's
Magazine some idea is given of the long
search for the paper which has revolu-
tionized Bible making. India paper is q
mechanical mystery and a trade secret,
q secret known only to three men.
1t is made at the Wolvercote mills Of
the Oxford press, but as no employee
is in touch with more than one stage
of the process the complicated secret is
held in hand.
In 1912 an Oxford graduate returned
from India with paper peculiarly
thin, peculiarly tough and peculiarly
opaque. A few Bibles we're made from
it, one Of which was presented to the
queen. Its use reduced the thickness of
the Bible BY one-half. Every effort was
made to obtain supply of this paper,
but without success.
Mr. Gladstone IS ubiquity Of research
was drawn upon, but he could only
recommend search in Japan. Papers
equally thin and equally tough were
obtained, but they were too transparent
It was not possible to print them on
both sides of the sheet.
Finally a paper thin enough and
tough enough and Opaque enough was
developed, but it was too yellow. 1t
was tried, but the color was unaccepta-
BILE to the public. 1t was not till 80
years had passed that the tenacity and
perseverance of Mr.. Frowde triumphed
over all obstacles, and Bibles were is
sued in 1874 on the wonderfully thir
paper on which they are issued today, &
paper which distinguishes the Oxford
Bible from all the other books of the
! world
