when weyI,prton was Mad.

Gar Nicholas visit to Windsor in
1874 afforded Murray an opportunity
to be present at one of the few occar
sions when the duke OF Wellington lost
control of himself. He did it at re-
view before the queen, her imperial
guest and the royal family, when, con-
trary to his orders, issued for tho
queens convenience, the guns were
fred. The hero of hundred fights
storned in "a most violent manner
When the prince tried to pacify him by
saying 1t was doubtless a mistake he
replied: at ia very geod of your royal
highness to excuse it, but there should
be no mistakes; military orders should
be punctually obeyed. end SO long as
/ command the army they shall be
obeyed!" The emperor was astonished,
and the suites looked at each other with
blank faces, while the artillery wis or
dered off the maneuvering ground.

AMERICAS NEW WAR PHRASE
Twenty Minutes for Breakfast" May
Yet Rank with other His
toric Words.

Not one of all the tribe of railway
porters who ever shouted Twenty
minutes for breakfast" into the rear
door of Pullman sleeping car ever
expected that his cry should be repeat
ed on the deck OF ysarship In action.
But, says the Colorado Springs Gazette,
that is what seems to have actually hap
pened in the record breaking battle OF
Manila. At the time when the fight
was the hottest, when the Spanish ships
were yet undestroyed ard the batteries
on shore were still alive, the American
ships ceased firing ard withdrew. The
first reports had IT that it was for the
purpose OF repairing the ships, to hold
council of war and TO land the wound
ed from the American ships. The lat
ter report states the truth with Anglo
Saxon frankness-ft was to give the
men chance TO get something to eat
So u new war cry has been added to
American history, and alongside of
Lawrence's Don't give up the shfpl"
and Perry's we hove met the enemy
and they are oursi" will live Dewey's
Twenty minutes for breakfastl" II
is great commander, commander of
bat whose issue was still undecided,
could remember that lighting is hungry
work and that men are strongest and
most intelligent when well fed. His
tory records the deeds Of heroes who,
In the excitement of battle, have forgot
ten fatigue and wounds and hunger
and oil other considerations. Bat his
tory has no record of such a battle as
that of Manila, and no record Of COM
mander who stopped in the middle Of a
battle to get breakfast. Che two facts
are not unconnected.

attracts them by her weight, and they
rush toward us ut q tremendous speed.
On plunRing into the atmosphere they
