The task of gearan- teeing 10 tue world a stable govern ment, a peaceful citizenship in Cuba is mighty ore.

THE NEW vE8sELs
 OF THE NAVY.
They Win Be Superior to Any Ssv Aaoat, and wnI lie Able to
 Go Longer Distances.

Washington, Aug l9-A naval pro- gramne for presentation to congress in. volYing the immediate construction of b warships has been adopted by the naval board of experts to whom the sub. Jeet has been referred by Secretary Long. It provides for three sea going barbette turret battleships of t, GOO tons displacement and minimum of l8I knots speed when the vessels are loaded to their deepest draught or an average speed above 19 knots under ordinary cruising conditions three first class arm ored cruisers of k, ,000 tons and % knots speed three second class protected an6 armored cruisers of 5000 tons displace ment and 20 knots speed similar to sthe Maine type but highly improved, and for six protected cruisers of 16 knots speed.
 The reduced speed of these ships, which is uniformly about two knots less than that proposed at the preliminary meeting of the board was brought about by the desire to secure unprecedented range of action on account of the inereas- ed responsibilities of the United States in the Pacific in the certainty that these vessels or most of them would berequir- ed to make up the fleet in that ocean. The saearifice of speed to en- duranee was made with 9 view or securing vessels of at least 5000 knots ra- dius, or capable of steaning straight away from San Francisco to Manila and Samoa. The board decided that the Pa cific rather than the Atlantic would be the chief depot of American naval oper- ations in future. All the vessels, how ever, will be as speedy as the fastest vessels now building abroad and they will be eminently more practicable in endurance, strength and fermidability.
 The main battery of each of the ba5- tleships will be composed of four ls.ineh rifles i'll turrets on the center line fore and aft, and the secondary batteries will mount from II to l6 rapid fire G.inch guns. In addition to these there will be unusually large auxiliary batteries of assorted sizes.
 The frstelass cruisers will be covered with heavy armor and will be armed with two 8=inch guns with finch rifles in turrets and 10 to 12 G-ineh rapid fire guns on the broad side. They are to be superior in every way to any ships afoat in the world today
 The details of the six smaller vessels are not yet determined upon, as all the energies of the board were first directed to the heavier vessels.
 All the ships will be sheathed. They will have quadruple expansion engines and water tube boilers, and with the ex- ception Of the smaller craft, they will bo equipped under water with torpedo tubes.

pounds produces about 1850 pounds Of

Now tufted heads were beginning
TO appear from behind every boulder,
and shots were scattering ON the rocks
around him Ah-had hot iron been
thrust though his left shoulder? 2
moment later his right foot also was
scared by an Indian bnllet.
He hardly felt the pain Of his
wounds. He was thinking Of the fair
young girl, whose image was indelibly
imprinted upon his heart as she was
whirled past him a short time before.
Suddenly rock rolled down from
above. He turned to look up. There
was binding flash before his eyes
and then darkness.
When the general returned at the
head Of the cavalry troop to the scene
of Mickey's adventure he found the
lad lying where he had fallen. He
was dead, but the body had not been
mutilated, for the Indians had been
driven of by the approach Of the
troops.

A BOX OF HORNETS,


The Baggage Master Thought They Were
Pcashes, as Usual.
A professional man il St. Louis,
who was accustomed during the sum
mer months to have his fruit sent him
by express from his farm in central
Missouri was much annoyed oneseason
by the pilferings Of baggagemen. No
matter how carefully his choice peaches
or pears were boxed, the packages
were sure to be broken into and de-
spoiled with free hand. He stood
the loss without murmur for several
weeks when, having noticed that the
boxes that came in express car No.
81 were rather worse robbed than
those shipped in other cars. he de-
cided to mete out a little righteous
retfibution.
Three or fours days later he re-
ceived notification that an express
package, addressed to him, was COM
ing in car No. 81, aud would reach the
city about noon. He went to the
station to meet the train, and when it
came in, he took position near the
express car and watched.
He had not long to wait. A man
whose head and face were swollen be-
yond recognition came to the door OF
the car. He was palling after him in
the most careful manner box that
bore marks of having been opened
and hastily nailed mp again.
Handle that mighty careful, jim,
he said to the boy with the truck.
'For all you know it may have -"
''Sufferin' job" interrupted the
boy. "What's the matter. Swipsey?"
Nothing" shortly replied the
baggageman. ''Be mighty careful
how you handle that package That's
all I've got to say to you. Stand out
of the way. Tn going to throw this
trunk.
The story soon leaked out Fol
lowing the instructions he had re-
ceived, the manager of the farm, by
little cautious night work, captured
hornets nest, boxed it up, and shipped
it on that particular day, and in that
particular car, in lieu of the peaches
that the box was supposed to contain.

A physician at a certain recruiting
station was obliged to reject many ap-
plicants on account Of their having "bl-
cycle heart" new form of disease pro-
duced by fast riding, or 'scorching,"
as II is technically called. The action
Of the heart has much to do with the
quality we call bravery. Battles are
necessarily accompanied by intense ex-
citement, which weak hearts are un-
able to withstand. The result is gem
eral physical Impairment. The physi-
clan alluded to has discovered that fast
riding on the bicycle tends to. enlarge
the heart, and thus lnterferes with its
proper action. 1t Is quite likely that
any prolonged violent exercise would
produce the same result, but in the
case Of the "seoreher'' 1t Is only one
Of the III effects of over-induigence.
The position assumed by fast riders is
found to have a lasting effect upon the
spine, and In time prevents the victim
from standing erect with his shoulders
well back. It is obvious, therefore,
that a man who cannot hold himself
straight on dress parade, and who is
liable TO death by heart failure in bat
tie, is very poor material for a soldier.
