SHORT NEWS STORIES.

the Colored Cook.

"Some Of the sbrewdest tricks ever
played are by the smugglers of opium, "
said H. A. Tanning Of Seattle, Wash.
IA very unique smuggling scheme was
unearthed few years ago by United
States secret service officers in North
Dakota. 1t was noticed that an unuSu-
ally large number Of cattle were being
driven across the line to the North Da-
kota markets. and the secret service
men planned an investigation. For
some time their work was in vain, and
they had about given up hope Of discov-
ering any unlawful operations when an
accident revealed the fact that the nos
trils of tho cattle were stuffed with
opium wrapped carefully in tinfoil. In
this way each steer was worth twice it's
normal value. Hundreds upon hundreds
Of animals had been driven across the
border with their nostrils loaded with
opium, and it was estimated that the
smugglers had cleaned upa profit Of
e25. 900 before the discovery was made
But the s,pugglers were sly and they
escaped and were never captured. "-s,,

ing hose. Tho deck, which fow mo-
ments before was almost deserted, now
swarms with life and activity. Two or
three hundred sailors rushing about
with Irooms, brushes, pals and nozzles
give good deal of life 10 the scene.

but through it all the officers sleep un.
disturbed, and for ut least two hours
after. They are used to that sort OF thing.
! After the ship has been tidied comes
breakfast. III the days OF old Jack used
TO take his salt horse or pork and beans
out of metal dishes while squatting on
tnrpaulin spread on the deck. Now,
however, he has such luxuries as bare
pine table and porcelain dishes. The
ships crew is divided into messes of 20
or 25 men each, and the men who
"mess together" are those who eat at
the same table. There il much fellow
ship among lnesslnates. Each mess
elects its cook from among its members.
II the cook does not suit, then another
one is elected until finally the mess is
satisfied. The cook receives few dol.
lars extra each month for his services
Each mess also has its caterer who
buys the extras. As Jack is a born
grumbler and is never satisfied with
what he has to eat he is allowed the
munificcnt sum Of ~ cents day with
which to provide himself with the lux.
uries Of the season. Needless to say he
does not buy telrapin or canvasback
duck.
No day laborer lives so simply or no
economically as does Jack. In many
cases prison fare is luxurious to his. In
theory his daily food is regulated by
act of congress-that is, the regular ra.
ton which is served on every American
warship is the one prescribed by the
navy department. Reduced to common

Admiral Matthews las informed the
Naval Committee that the sum requested
is none too extravagant Tor League
Islands needs. At the meeting of the
Naval Committee on Thursday he pointed
out the absolute necessity OF enlarging
the present dry dock so as to admit the
largest hattleship OF the navy, and also
recommended the other improvements
needed to turn the island into first class
naval station. With such naval authors
tics active in behalf OF this country's
claims, it is difficult to see how they can
be ignored. The present crisis shows the
great need of a first class naval station on
the Atlantic coast, and where is there a
better site for it than that afforded by
