SENT TO COVENTRY.

SENT TO COVENTRY.
That line of action was at once car
ried into effect. When Hcbson met
any of his classmates about the grounds
they turned their backs upon him or
looked straight through him. Never
was man more utterly sent to COW
entry. He had no part of any kind in
their life; he might have been suffering
from contagious disease. And.
more than that, to save his life he
couldn't get drink of milk.
Hobson knew what it all meant, and
he shut his teeth hard and never quiv-
cred. 1t was some time before he cons
nected the milk drought with the
proper cause. It hadn't occurred to
him that the other cadets had noticed
his fondness for that simple fluid. One
day at dinner when a glass of it was
brought to him, the man next, hard
pressed to prevent the victim from hav-
ing the coveted drink, put some salt in
it. Hobson understood then. After
that, except " hen he was on furlough,
be had no milk for two years.
The taboo lasted all that time. Many
cadet has left Annapolis for lesser
ostracism, but not Hobson. Through
it all not once did he say he was sorry,
and not once did the cadets let up on
him. Except his chum no one spoke
| to him.
At last Graduation Day came, and
Hobson stood at the head of bis class
without the sympathy of it. He was
more reserved and self-contaiued than
ever. His course of treatment hadn't
tended to make him expansive, and he
was somewhat of mental cynic. Af-
ter the exercises he was turning to
leave the room when the class leader
came up and thumped him on the
back.
''Hobson," he said, "we want to
tell you you're hero. There isn't
another man in the class that could
have stood what you did and kept his
nerve. You're grit straight through.
Will you shake hands?"
Hobson couldn't say much. He
had rather forgotten how. But the
grip of his hand was expressive, and
he held levee then and there.
| DRAINED A LOVING CUP.
/ Later he was served with jug OF
milk, and he drained loving cup.
This is fact.
Hobson is still bachelor, but not
because he hasn't had inducements to
enter the holy bond. He is popular
among women, and some of them
speak of him as "stand BY" He will

And almost in the same breath came
the whisper that Hobson had beer

REPORTED "A CLASSMATEs
There is an unwritten law at An
napolis that no cadet, under any cir
cumstances whatsoever, when on duty
shall report classmate for any disre-
gard of duty or discipline, and the laws
of the Medes and Persians were not
more rigidly enforced than is this one
at the Naval Academy. Never was it
known to be broken until one day,
when he had still two years more. be-
fore his course would be finished, Cadet
Hobson on duty reported classmate
for slight Infringement of discipline,
and said classmate was reprimanded.
Hobson's class could not believe their
ears when they heard the charge pre-
ferred, and the corps d'esprit of the
lower classes was shaken to the foun-
dation by the establishment of such a
precedent, and with it all Hobson went

A PRETTY INCIDENT.
The Kindness of N Spanish Lady to a
Lone soIdier Boy.


recent traveller in Spain describes
a touching scene witnessed at the depar-
ture of regiment for Cuba. All day
long there had been heard the meas
ured tread of soldiers marching through
the street; all day long gayly bedecked
boats had been passing TO and from the
vessel that was to take them to Havana.
The twilight began to deepen when the
correspondent saw a startling and
pretty sight"--thc impetuous action of
a portiy, good-looking and weli-dressed
lady, who noticed young soldier walk
ing dejectedly along down the pier in
his travelling gray, with "a knapsack
strapped over his shoulders. All the
rest of the men had friends, their
novias, mothers. relatives, and made
the usual gallant effort to look elated
and full of hope. This lad had no one,
and il might be OWNED that lie was car
rying a desolate heart over the seas.
The handsome woman burst from her
group of friends, took the boys hand,
and said: My son has already gone to
Cuba. He is in the regiment of Andalu-
sia, aud sailed TIVE months ago. You
may meet him, Pepe g.; take this kiss
to him." She leaned and kissed his
cheek"
An English boy would have shown
awkwarness, but these graceful
southerners are never at loss for a
pretty gesture and prettier word.
The boy blushed with pleasure, and still
holding the lady's hand, said with quite
natural gallantry, without smirk or
silly smile: And may | not take one
for myself as well. senora?" The lady
Redeemed, laughed little nervomsly.
and bent and kissed him again to the
frantic applause of soldiers and civil
ians, while the hoy walked on, braced
and happy.-Blackwood Magazine.

A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming 60 Alaska or the
kiondIkc Cold Fields


One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader com
ing to Alaska. to the klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the aeces-
sity for providing an a1eqrate and
proper food supply. Whether proca-ed
in the States, in the Dominion, or at
the supply stores itese or further ON,
this must be his primary concern.
Upon the manner in which the miner
has observed or neglected this precau-
ton more than upon any other one
thing will his success or failure depend.
These supplies mus, be healthtul and
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention i'm the selection OF
foods that will keep unimpaired in
definitely under all the conditions
which they will have to encounter is
imperative. For instance. as bread
raised with baking powder must be re-
lied upon for the chief part OF every
meal, imagine the heIpIessness of
miner with a can of spoiled baking
powder. Buy only the very best flour;
IL is the cheapest in the end. Expert
ence has shown the Royal Baking Pow
der to be the mUst reliable and the
trading companies now uniformly sup
ply this brand. as others will not keep
in this climate. BE sure that the bacon
is sweet, sound and thoroughly cured.
These are the absolute necessitIes upon
which all must place a chief reliance,
and can under no circumstances be
neglected. They may, Of course, be
supplemented by as n,.ay comforts or
delicacies as the proprietor may be able
to pack or desire to pay for. Ildsea
