any money this time.
Cutter suggested that $500 was too
much money to spend for such a purpose
ana offered an amendment reducing the
appropriation to $1,000. Wolfe thought
that $1,000 was not too great a sum. and
Dickinson said he would refuse to serve

A Naval Solomon.

From London Spare Moments
Captain Mob, canny Scot, was once in
command of a troopship returning from
India. On board he had as passengers three
ladies, all wives of officers in her majesty S
service.
Now it fell out that the cabin allotted to
them was fitted up to accommodate four
and consequently ii contained four wash
basins. one of which was far larger than
the other three.
For the right to use this especial basin
each lady put forth her claim, citing her
husbands position in the army. But the
husbands. unfortunately, all proved to be
of equal rank. SO to clinch the matter the
trio bearded the captain in his cabin.
We will leave it entirely to you. cap

'Leddies, as it is no matter O. rank,

sud have the beegest bowl"
With murmured thanks they filed out
again. but that basin was never used dur
