strength Of the enemy upon past figures,
so 1t behooves every Democrat to take an

The railroads in Florida have with
drawn all mileage books from sale. the
reason for this, as stated, being that the
roads were compelled to take such action
to protect themselves against the ticket
scalpers. The matter has been taken up
by the Travellers Protective Association,
and petition is being circulated request
ing that the sale of mileage books be re-
stored.

1t is difficult to understand all of this

Ter. 1t seems that he made some criticism
OF President McKinley's message to Con-
gress, which the government did not like,
but why Wevler should be tried and sem
fenced to jail for that is one Of those
things which the people in this free coun-
try cannot understand. A hundred thou

about M'Kinley than Weyler ever thought
in all probability, and nobody has ever
thought Of sending them to jail forit.

HOW MINE FIELD is ATTAcKED

More than the usual amount Of at
tention is being given nov in the
United States navy destroying SUBJ
marine mines. The recent operations
of Admiral Dewey before Manila have
proved conclusively that it Is possible
| under cover of darkness. to u a
field of mines without injury. The
harbor Of Havana, however. Is far
better protected. and. it is argued. the
experience Of the Spanish at Manila is
likely to induce them to make improve
ments in the submarine defenses Of
Havana harbor.
Three different methods Of destroying
a mine field are known to the navy.
The one most frequently used is a pro-
ess OF countermining. The other meth
DDS are known as sweeping" and
Creeping Sweeping" as a rule. is
only carried out at night. or when the
shore batteries are silent. Counter
mining can be done under fire. and
frequently is. Creeping can be done
from a small boat. and frequently has
been accomplished under fire.
Countermining consists in the destruc-
ton Of a field by laying q fresh line of
mines across it and exploding them.
An ordinary line Of countermine con-

other is simply an ordinary grapnel,
used for fishing up the cable when it.
is encountered.
In use one or both of the grapnels is
dragged behind the boa which is doing
the "creeping." When an obstruction
is encountered the operator on the boat
pulls the grapnel line tau and fires the
charge attached to the hook. This
usually destroys the shore connections.
In using the nOn-explOsive grapnel the
cable is caught and pulled up to the
boat. Then it is cut, a battery attached
and the entire field of mines is exploded
harmlessly from the boat
Although ~"creeping' cannot be ar
ried on with any degree of success on
a rocky bottom, it is the method usually
adopted in warfare. When whole mine
fields have to be cleared counterminine
is the preferable method, but it is prac.
tically hopeless under the fire of bat,

The Girls who Are Left Behind,

This is the period of tears, fond fare
wells, mothers blessings and sweet
hearts last embraces. 1t is the spec
tacle of sorrow that every generation
is reasonably certain to witness.
With the long roll of the drum, the
tramp of booted feet and the steady
marching of valiant heroes who go to
Cuba to fight, to bleed, to die for the
flag. There are countless Women's sob
bings, there are endless wounded hearts
that will know no rest, no peace, until
the boys in blue tramp back to the
tune of when Johnny Comes March,
ing Home instead of the old refrain.
1.-THE Girl I Left Behind Me-"
Not since 81 has this nation stood
on the brink of strife, and the old
battle tunes that used to put blood
and vitality into the defenders Of the
nation have become almost mere ira
ditions. The generation which lived
then has Whitened n grown wrinkled
with age, M their last hours promised
to be peaceful. But the same spirit
hat sent the men into the field then
barefOoted and ripe for wal is upon the
nation now, and the same scenes of sad
separations are being enacted over
again.
Every man who will march in the
field, every man who will stand at his
guns on the battleships, every horse
man who will plunge into the fight to
avenge the dead and to preserve the
living must bid some loved one good
bye. 1t may be a wife, a mother, a
sweetheart. or sons and daughters, per-
haps only friends.
The depots, the boats, the highways
and every hamlet and village and
town must be the scene of these fare
wells. True American women do not
stand on the threshold and bar the
way to patriotic men who would DROP
the plough or the hammer or the pen
and follow the flag in it's defence. Wo-
men who love truly would much prefer
to kiss, for the last time, the lips of a
hero, and then send him int battle with
a strong heart than to be the instru-
ment that had cOaXed a willing coward
to stay behind.
Girls whose hearts are tender with
the love and devotion Of m~aidenhood,
become strong women at the tap of the
drum and the sound of martial music,
and the men who share sue love can
only keep it through bravery. Who
knows but that many a soldier Or ma
rine, who welcomes the echo of war.
and who goes to the front light-hearted
and exultant at the prospect of strife.
will within a fortnight be stretched
with other comrades in a trench dug
in Cuban soil already stained with the
blood Of heroes fighting for liberty?
In an hour after our troops land on
the devastated island. hundreds MAJ
drop to earth, and lips hat but a few
days before were pressed to those of a
sweetheart or a betrothed wife will
give voice to a blessing on the loved
ones before the spark goes out.
But there is always hope hat the
girl who is left behind will see her
brave soldier boy come back to her,
battle SCARED n weary, but alive.
n h hope that upon his shoulders
there will be the epaulets of an officer.
and on the open page of history a
name that belongs to her.

FIGHTING BOB AN ALL-ROUND
SAILOR.
Evans is one of the best practical
seamen in the navy. He has a thor
ough knowledge OF the art Of sailing
a boat, and when in command of the
old frigate Saratoga he Unanswered
her in a way that ~astoniShed the mer-
chant sailors. 1t is said that no jack
tar in the service can tie so many
kinds Of knots.
Captain Evans Is the son of a DR..
Evans Of Virginia, who was a we'll
known man in his day. He was a
rough and tumble sort of boy. Born
near Christiansburg, he was named
Robley Gunglison, after the man who
edited the famous dictionary Of medi-
cine.
FIGHTING BOB'S FAMILY.
He has three children. One of them,
Taylor. is an ensign in the avy and
| Is 10" Oh Odl VI Tie pdllleSlllp VldS
sachusetts, having been graduated from
the naval academy at Annapolis ahead
of time. owing to the outbreak Of war.
Oddly enough, the same thing happened
to the father.
The other two children are daughters,
and their names are Charlotte and
Virginia. One of the daughters is sim
gle, and the other is the wife of Lieu
tenant Charles Marsh, now on the
| nvJ,iCnC Nn" NNyk Roth nf tho NJ q
women are now at Hampton Roads,
Va, learning to be war nurses.
Captain Evens' wife is a sisted of
Captain Harry Taylor of the battleship
Indiana, now with Admiral Sampson. 1t
is a fighting family, you see. She was
a daughter of Frank Taylor, who many
years ago kept the biggest book store
in Washington on Pennsylvania avenue.
The old man was not an ordinary book
shop keeper, however, but was a littera-
teur, n famous for his learning.
Into Fighting Bob's'' life came his
omanc after he was wounded at Fort
Fisher. When he was slowly recovering
he met the pretty daughter of Captain
Taylor at that officers home. He had
none of the graces of the ball room
with which to WOO his sweetheart, for
his poor, wounded limb prevented that.
But he won her by the manlier arts of
: the soldier. by the simple tales of the
battles he had fought.
HOW FIGHTING BOB FOUGHT THE
GOVERNMENT.
When Bob Evans was secretary of
the lighthouse board he got permission
to put up a residence o. the lighthouse
reservation at Old Fort Comfort. This
reservation was the property of the
war department, from which the treas
ury had obtained by courtesy a con-
cession for the establishment of a light
house.
Subsequently the treasury demanded
that he move his dwelling off the reser-
walton, but he refused, saying that the
land belonged to the war department.
The war department ordered him to
so, but then he claimed that the reser-
walton had been granted to the treas
ury. So by working this scheme back
and forth he has managed to keep his
house where it is, n he is not likely
to be disturbed.
Evans is president of the Fish and
Game Protective association of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
