"HOW ARE YOU, SANITARY ?''

Down the picket-guarded lane Rolled the confort-laden wain, Cheered by shouts that shook the plain,
 Soldier-like and merry; Phrases such as camps may teach, Saber cuts of Saxon speech, Such as, 'Bullyp '"Thats the peach !"
 "Wade in, Sanitary" Right and left the caissons drew -. As the ear went numbering through, Quick succeeding in review
 Squadrons military Sunburnt men, with boards like frieze Smooth-faced boys, and cries like these; '"U. s. San. Com. I" ''That's the cheese !''
 'Pass in, Sanitary" Tn such cheer 1t struggled on Till the battle front was won; Then the car,s tits journey done,
 Lo, was stationary; And where bullets whstling fly Game the sadder, fainter cry, ''Help us, brothers, ere we die
 Save us, Sanitary" Such the work. The phantom flies, Wrapped in battle clouds that rise; But the brave, whose dying eyes,
 Yelled and visionary, See the jasper gates swung wide, See the parted throng outside, Hear the voice to those who ride
 ePass in, Sanitary"

 ing to his shrewd business instincts, which are supplemented by a trait which his friends call 'laudable frugality' and his enemies term "parsimoniousness. Some time ago this gentleman concluded that he had arrived at that state where he needed helpmate to travel with him along the path of life and assist him in presenting to his country citizens who would be able to offer their services to the sanitary commissions of the future There was, however, one thing which troubled him. He had seen so much of women that he realized how little value they set on money. and he did not want to marry girl whose inclinations would be to spend on dress and other frivolities the nest egg that he had spent years de- veloping in his pharmaceutical incubator. But how to find the kind of girl that would prove the realization of his ideal was the thing that troubled him. Finally he resolved to take his case to an old maiden aunt and get her advice on it. The aunt listened to his dilemma and, when he had finished, said: My dear nephew, I certainly agree with you that it is good idea for you to marry and provide yourself with a home. I also think that you should know something of the disposition of the woman who you in- tend to wed. Now, I'll tell you what we'll

In recent years the little Amer
lean navy has spent three times
as much money for target practice az
the combined navies of England,
France and Germany. For two years
the Spanish have spent nothing. The
fighting has already proved that
Spanish gunnery practice is to ours
as one is to one hundred. We are
probably superior in gunnery to the
three nations named. The American
sailor has always had the idea that a
gun was made to discharge projec-
tile that was intended to hit some
thing. He never put much faith in
the impression created by the noise
made by the discharge. He has
pracsiced with his guns in time of
peace. and now does terrible execu-
ton in time of war In Secretary
Herbert's administration of the navy,

"the useless waste of ammunition in

Specifications as to the Big BOuntieS
They Will Receive.
Comodore Dewey's squadron stands
to win some handsome bounties as a
result of the victory of Manila. Just
how much and how the prize money
will be divided cannot be foretold ex.
actly in advance of more precise infor,
nation regarding the battle than
has reached America yet. Based,
however, on the official dispatch Of
Commodore Dewey, says the New
York Press, there was not q ship in the
Spanish feet which was not put out of
the fight, Upon the truth regarding
some other vital particulars hangs the
gross amount OF. bounty and how it
VIII be divided.
The laws Of United States provide
that if in battle we sink or destroy
or have to destroy, because of the in
juries she sustained, a warship of an
enemy which is inferior in fighting
force to the attacking ship in our feet,
the United States will pay to the
officers and men of our successful
feet a bounty Of $lOO for each person
on the enemy's ship the amount to
be divided the same as prize money,
If the enemys ship is of equal or sup
erior force to ours, the bounty is $500
If the actual number of men on the
hostile fleet is not known, an estimate
is made according to the complete
ment of our vessels of equal fighting
force.
There is question of relatiye
strength of the squadron. Themeas-
ure of strength, according to the law
is the fighting force of the ships.
Gauged by the guns in the main bat
terry of both aeets-the usual standard
of fighting strength-the American
squadron was the superior, having
fifty-three guns to forty-one Of
the Spanish. But the fight was not
in the open sea. It was in the harbor
where the American ships we're under
the fire of four batteries, mounting
Krupp guns Of from 8 to 12-inch cali
bre. The Spanish forts combined
with the Spanish feet certainly over
matched Dewey's squadron. If this
condition be accepted the men of the
American feet will beentitled to $500
man, instead of 500. As to the in
dividual matches in the two fleets, our
flag ship the Olympia. undoubtedly
addressed herself to the cruiser, Reina
Cristina, the flag ship of Admiral
Montejo. And SO it probably was with
the rest Of the two fleets. Cruiser met
cruiser and gunboat met gunboat, as
far as possible.
The commander and men of the rev.
enue cutter McCulloch and the trans
port which he took into Manila bay
took almost equal chances with the
lighting ships. It would seem as if
they should be allowed share Of the
prize money The naval officers who
commanded both ships were detailed
from their usual positions through nc
fault of theirs, and that they should
not have share in the results would
seem to be unjust. The ruling Of the
navy department will settle this,
