sought the cool breeze of Brandy wine
Park. An unusually large number Of

Don't Worry the Composer

From Golfers Weekly.
 A musical organization, intending to give a performance of an oratorio, began to be alarmed about the probable cost of the pro- duotion.
 Accordingly the director of the chorus said to the leader of the orchestra, who was professional musician:
 We've got to keep down our expenses, and thought might get you to leave out the trombones. You know, they have only four measures in the entire oratorio, and if We leave them out we can save at least $15, and no one will be any the wiser"
 The leader of the orchestra was extreme iy shocked. Assuming a tragic attitude, he exclaimed
 "That would be an insult to the com poser!"
 The chorus director reflected a moment, and then said cheerfuly:
 "Oh, never mind him; he's dead!

acting the side movement of the one en- zine by the use of the helm.
 "Oh, I suppose so," replied the admiral 'Ill just ask that signal boy and find out whether hs has taken any notice of the helm motion coming through the Mediter- ranean since tine screw was injured"
 The signal boy was on the watch on the bridge, and the admiral had no means of knowing whether the youngster had been at the wheel, but his object was to learn how attentive the lad had toeen to the steer ing of the ship
 ''I think, sir" he replied to the admiral's question. that we carried a little star board helm all the way down the Adrlatic." |"
 About how much?" asked the admiral.
 Five or six degrees, l should say, sir"
 Co ask the chief quartermas ster," said the admiral
 Presently the youngster came back and said that the average starboard helm car rded, while running with the port engine only, was five degrees
 There! What do you think of that?" said the admiral, triumphantly. That boy is a fair specimen of our apprentices They keep their eyes open and learn all about the ship and the methods of handling her without being forced to do so."
 There is nothing about which the admiral is more proud than the character and ca pacity of the men under him. They all know it, and consequently he can always depend upon them for almost any demand he can make upon them.

DEWEY'S SIGNAL BOY
How He Sustained the Reputation of
 the Olympia's Crew

A correspondent of the Chicago Record who visited the Olympia while she was rid ing at anchor at Leghorn, sends his paper an interesting anecdote bearing on the clever lot of men who form Dewey's crew. He says:
 ! Thursday is the regular day for the exer- else of the ships company at general quarters for battle and that morning happened to be talking to the admiral on .the after bridge. He takes a very keen .in- zterest in his men. and he was watching their work carefully, because when the ships arrived in New York the inspection board will visit 1t to make a report con- corning its state of efficiency. After he had called my attention to the intelligent faces and brisk alert manner of all the men in sight on the upper deck, he men, tioned, with great glee-as l cabled at the time-the wonder of the Archbishop of Manila at the character of our seamen. The conversation then turned toward the question of the speed that he could make his way home.
 "If we had had the spare propeller blades that are a part of the ships outfit" he said, "I would have had her try-docked left in the Mare Island navy yard. and so we shall have to cross the Atlantic with one engine. We can make ten k1nts even when dragging the starboard screw, and if we could uncouple it we could do better Unfortunately it is not provided with a clutch coupling that would permit it to be disconnected.'
 I asked whether the speed was not some what checked hy the necessity of counter
