NOBLE AMERICAN CAPTAINS.

Not all the war stories are about "the
thunder of the captains and the shouting"
Some are about the praying Of the captains.
A shipmate of Admiral SIMPSONS, to illus
trate that commanders courage, says, HE
is a God.fearing man, and he always says
his prayers before turning NJ Another
story of q praying captain relates 70 the
actual events If the war. Captain Phillip,
of the Terts, which engaged the Vi1caya
with suoh terrible effect, called all hands to
quarter. deck after the fight, and, with bred
head. thanked God for an almost bIoodless
victory. 81 want to make public acknow-
Judgment here" he said, that believe IN
God, the Father Almighty. l want all you
officers and men to %liftyour hats and from your
hearts offer silent thanks TO the Almighty"
"An tLe hats we're of" the narrative
continues, "thele was q moment of absolute
silence, and then the OverWrought feelings
Of the ships company relieved themselves
in three hearty cheers for their beloved
commander" 1t is Of this same Captain
Phillip that another fine story is told.
While the 1osos and the OqWendo were
fighting, o mighty explosion shook the
Oguemd0, aud the crew of the Teas cheered.
"Dou't cheer" shouted Captain Philip,
tile poor fellows are dying"

IA little fellow Of our acquaintance, !"
says Moonshine, Just turned 4, is re-
markable for his philosophical way of
viewing things in general. Coming in
doors the other day from playing in the
garden, he strolled into the reception
room, where he espied strange lady.
Now, the doctor had just brought
Master Cyril a new little brother with
whom he was told he would always be
able to play. When therefore he saw
another stranger, who seemed as if she,
too, had come to stay, he sauntered past
her, with his hands in his pockets, and,
glancing at her in casual sort of a
way, contemptuously remarked to him
self, but in tone loud enough to be
heard by the visitor:
"H'm! More company Ii there's
much more company coming to this
house to play with me, I'm off. They're
both no ,.ood for cricket. know. He's
too little to hold bat, and Ale's too
fat to run. "

HE is NOT NOBLE.


he 10 not noble who would sell himself.
His actions or his principles for pclf,
Who bends the knee to wrong intrenchsd in
power,
Who flatters evil In Its triumph hour,
And trying to be all things to all men
SmIrking and smiling falls in evils dem
on earth the merest pimple, wart or wen
He may be handsome and to all mon seem
The form material of an artists dream,
But in his polished words and vanished
smile
Keen souls discern the woridwash and the
guile;
No outward smoothness made of thin
veneer
Deceives the instincts keen and vision
clear
or those who dwell in honor's atmos-
phere.
The truly noble soul can face the light
Which brightly beats on fame's sky-pierc-
ing height;
From sacred fire can light with honor's
spark
The lower deeps. though desolate and dark;
No small deceptions can their pail unroll'
To hide the incandescence of soul
Which reads its notices from Heavens s
sacred scroll.
Turn thou away from tortuous deceit,
Let tangled thoughts trip not thy steadfast
feet;
scorn coward subtsrfuge and weaklng
Go by thy compass though men blame or
praise;
Thou canst AFFORD the enmities of earth,
The sneers of cravens and unseemly mirth,
If true unto thy trust and Heavenly birth.

Pennsylvania, was also prominent as q
defender of the law and the manner OF
its administration. 1t a singular fact
that Gen. Grosvenor has long been re-
garded as one of the most stanch po-
litical friends of President Mckinley,
and yet he denounces the law which the
president is trying so hard to enforce.
A shrewd politician suggests to the
writer that may be Mckinley is not so
much in favor of the extreme enforce
ment of the law as he is supposed to be
1t seems to me that he is acting on the
principle enunciated by Gen. Grant,
that the way to secure the repeal of a
bad law is to give it extreme and rigid
enforcement 1t is not altogether un-
likely that Mckinley extended the civil
service classification to make the ex-
treme administration of the civil serv-
ice law obnoxious. Therefore. it is not
surprising that Gen. Grosvenor should
be doing his part in congress to make
the law unpopular"
That is suppositiou; but to one ex-
perienced in the ways of politicians it
does not seem to be an improba BILE view
of the actualities of the situation. Gen.
Grosvenor is one of the best men in con-
gress, and President Mckinley is one of
the purest men ever known in public
life. Both of these are politicians, and
yet both of them come fully up 20 the
measure of true craftsmanship. There
is nothing partisan in the true admlnis-
tration of the civil service law. People
everywhere, however, are divided in
their views concerning the manner and
method of its proper enforcement.
The debate of this question incites the
thought heretofore expressed in this
column of correspondence; that is, are
not the offices made too tempting by
the large salaries attached to them
There is a reason for everything in this
world, and there must be some reason
for this terrific clamor for the spoils of
office.
But it is perfectly natural, after all.
II John Doe gets nomination to con-
gress, and his success is largely due to
the political management of Richard
Roe, it is only natural that Richard
Roe should expect some sort of reward.
When John Doe comes to congress he
BelS Il salary Oh oo,OOU per annuIn, ana
that looks pretty big at home. Never
theless, the cost of living in Washing
ton. according to the style expected of
congressman, is very great, and the
congressman cannot afford to pay
money to Richard Roe for having stood
by him in the past, and for standing by
him in the future. But Richard Roe
wants his reward, and he applies for Of
fee. OF course the congressman ought
to do something for him. If he can.
That sums up the original cause OF
office-seeking, but it does not suggest
the cure. The plain people of our coun'
try will in their own way and in their
own time settle this question once fol
all and take it out of the realm of dis
cussion.
The fate of this much-discussed Law
may be settled in the debating societies
of the country. Let the young men TAX,
it up, discuss ii. argue it and reach con
clusions concerning it. There is nj
more fruitful theme to-day before tn,
| people. 1t will be found that the young
men in all of our cities and villages hav,
