knew they were done for. The Vizcaya
and Cristobal Colon seemed to stand the
fire pretty we'll, but soon the Vizcaya was
seen to head for the beach, when we turn
ed our attention to the Christobol Colon,
Cervera's last ship.
At that moment the order was given to
cease firing, which we did, and with the
Oregon following US we gave chase. 1t
was just forty five minutes from the time
the Maria Teresa was sighted coming out
of the harbor up to the time the Vizcaya
was left on the beach, s'and 1t was 1.15
O'Clock when the Christobol Colon hauled
down her flag, and her commander shout
ed (for we were very near her, within
speaking distance) 81 surrender only to
Commodore Schley, unconditional" Such
cheering as there was / never expect to
hear again from such a small crowd of
men.
While our boats were being lowered
and our commodore was going to the Co
what did we see? Holes big enough to
crawl through in our ships smoke-stacks
and sides. We found out afterwards that
we were struck about thirty-eight times,
none of the shots doing very much dam
age.
Right after the Vizcaya went on the
beach young fellow, who 1 had been
rather cumming with, came and told me
the commodore's writer, young fellow
by the name of Ellis, and who we both
had been very friendly with, had been
killed, and also that two others were
wounded. They were the only ones in
the whole ships company. Ellis was
buried on shore at Guantanamo, on the
9Th.
There was one thing very noticeable
among the crew, that is the guns crew
whose guns were not in use during the
battle, for we could only use our star.
board battery, that Is, only the guns on
one side of the ship. They were singing
and dancing for all they were worth, not
one seeming to realize thatshe might be
shot down any minute, or be blown up-it
was indeed wonderful.
Where was the flagship New York al
this time? Nobody knew until about AZ
minutes after the surrender, when she
hove in sight way astern of US. She had
not even fired one shot, and was not even
in sight when the ships came out, and we
now think we are about even with her.
We found out afterward from the com.
mander of the Colon that 1t was his in.

said he knew that he would have nc

ANY One Would Do.

Bishop Lawrence of Massachusetts
tells good story on himself and Presi-
dent Eliot of Harvard. When Phillips
Brooks was elected bishop, President
Eliot met DIR. Lawrence, who was then
dean of the Episcopal Theological school
at Cambridge and said to him: 1.-THE
church has made the greatest mistake Of
q lifetime Brooks was the pivot around
which we revolved in Boston. Now You
have spread him all over the state. Any
one would have done for bishop"
Years after, when Phillips Brooks
had gone to his reward and Dean Law
renee had been chosen in his place. he
met Presid dent Eliot in the street again.
The latter was warm in his congratula-
tions. My dear bishop" he said, II
must congratulate you. The church
COULDN'T have made better selection. ]
thought you should have been the choice
when Brooks was chosen. "

.eseo . PIN and Pick It Up."

It may be before long that our pins
will have to be dipped in carbolic acid
before being put on our bureaus. Fol-
pins have been proved to be prolific
source of danger in spreading conta-
gious diseases. All kinds of germs, it il
said, can be collected under the heads,
and nurses who indulge the feminine
habit of holding pins in their mouths
lay themselves open to serious attack.
The doctors who have warned the pub
lie say that many of the SO called new
pins are not new at all, but have beer
picked up in the streets and laid side by
side with the others. The idea is not an
altogether pleasant one, and is, more
over, one likely to increase the uneasi
ness of the overfastidious.
There are some women now who are
so afraid of germs that they wash all
their gold and silver pieces before han
ding them and who never allow banl
bill to go into their purses until it hal
been wrapped in some kind of disinfect
ing paper. They even require the shop
girls who hand them their change tx
wrap in paper first. What is to be done
if all this is so, with the popular super
stitions about picking up all the PIN
that one sees and never passing penny
in the street?-Harper' Bazaar.

"a priceless thing is hobby. The
daily tasks by which hosts of women
support life are favorless, barren, al
most hopeless. To such ones hobby
may offer the dearest hopes of ultimate
freedom from the unwelcome daily task.
It will at any rate serve to entertain
and give point and flavor to an other
wise blank existence is the position
taken by Carrie E. Garrett discussing
sWoman's Dreams and Hobbies' in
The Woman's Home Companion.
"Hobbies have the power to concen-
trate and absorb the scattered energies
which might otherwise be expended in
purposeless f1irtations, building super
huous bonnets, reading cheap sensations,
gossiping away precious moments, pick
ing out our friends foibles, dissecting
our own emotions and wishing vaguely
for everything which is attainable. If
the hobby did nothing else but prev ant
these frivolities, it would be boon to
humanity.
"Man found out the value of hobbies
long ago. Almost every man who is
good for anything has purpose which
he thinks is quite the most magnificent

slsight of Hand In Church.

Many years ago, when Joseph Mars
den lived in Hawaii, he attended church
on Sunday morning in Hilo. Mr.. Mars
den was then noted for his skill in leg
erdemain. When Dr. passed around
the contribution bag at Sunday serv-
ice, Mr.. Marsden held up $40 gold
piece between his thumb and forefnger
SO that DR.. - could plainly see it.
He then placed his hand over the bag,
palmed the goldpieoe and dropped in a
silver quarter. DIR. returned to the
table with his collection. After the
service he emptied the bag on table,
but could not find the $40 goldpieoe.
He shook the bag repeatedly, turned
over the small pile of contributions, got
down on the floor and looked under the
table, walked down the aisle, looking
closely at the cracks in the floor, felt in
his own pockets, fearing that ne had
made some mistake. and then went
home wondering at the strange loss of
the goldpiece. Some time afterward the
deceiver quietly sent the goldpiece to
the church.-Paoifio Commercial Ad-

under the influence of an opiate What
the novelist describes as a piece of fic-
ton may be paralleled from the sober

McNish, in his classic volume on

place where his flock was pastured,
waded through river and returned
home without waking. In another case

cliff and brought home from it an
eagles nest, which was found under his

Abercrombie's case of the Scottish
lawyer who, when worried over per-
picking case, was seen by his wife to
rise from his bed in the night is an
other illustration of the occasionally
purposive character of somnambulism,
