AloH LIGHTS

sentimentality is the foolish elder sister of sentiment
 When the heart loses freshness it be- comes reminiscent
 Our facts are earthly: by our fan cies touch heaven.
 Experience teaches man long after he thinks he has taken a diploma,
 Early to bed and early to rise makes even q genius tiresome to his family.
 The wise man knows he is q frac- ton: the fool tries to be the whole thing.
 The woman who is down on gossip doesn't say so until she has heard it all
 Women hope for the best and then go and buy articles that have been mark ed down
 The drawback to the noble ancestry is that it sets up in business a lot of bragging deeendants.
 1t is an inconsiderate husband who needs a new overcoat the same winter that his wife needs q new cloak.
 1t would be a better world if women praised their husbands as heartily as they do their favorite baking powder.
 A man thinks that in knowing one woman he knows the whole sex; where as he may know the rest of the sex without knowing that one woman.

 If men didn't believe that women were better than they are, they would believe that they were worse.
 After a woman has had a baby, she looks pityingly at ai1 the old bachelors she knows; after she has had three or four, she begins to wonder if they aren't looking pitingly at her.
 The woman who marrles man to make him better, two years afterward is generally putting in her time talk ing care of her complexion.
 There is no revenge so bitter or so lasting as the revenge of q lover.

An Incident in His Career While at An
 napolis.
 ''Fighting Bob" Evans earned his title the first year at Annapolis. He has made good his claim to it since years before he became skipper of the Iowa, but Fighting Bob" was tackled to him as a cadet At the time he was sent to the naval academy there was a rule of the institution which forbade the decoration of the walls of the ca det's headquarters by hanging pictures thereon or i'll any way improving upon the furnishing of the cells. The object was wise and twofold. It sought to prevent the boys from becoming soft and luxurious and to head off any. eX- pensive rivalry in the way of outfitting. In word, the end desired was to pro duce hardy and democratic naval of ficers. Young Evans fond mother, like all good women, was q christian, and with her sons academy equip ment packed q framed motto-a quo tation from the scriptures, so the le- gend runs.
 The first net of Robby D. upon his assignment to quarters was to nail his motto to the wall. He was told to re- move it, but declined. The contumac- ious younster was reported from one officer to another, but resisted argu- ment and command alike. The, mar row martinets of the academy resolved to expel him, and orders were at once issued to that effect. The storysof the war spread and at last an officer in Lincoln's cabinet intimated very strong ly to the faculty that they would do well to overlook the offence Preach CTS were beginning to predicate sermons upon the noble cadet who perferred expulsion to taking down the scriptural text and, as the politician said the chances were that if the young man were dropped the authorities of the academy would not last long afterwards, as public sym pathy was with the boy. It was in this war that Evans became known as Fighting Bob.'' =

CONTEMPLATION OF WOMEN.

Why is it that so few women fall in love with the riglat men? How many women who try on hats at millinery openings really expect to buy them?
 The woman who talks most about her loveNaffairs is the one who expert. enees the least real emotion.
 No woman was ever known to call her photograph other than 'hideously ugly" no matter how much she may admire it secretly
 The girl who talks Tor the gallery in public conveyances may think she is making a great impression, but she is the only one of that oI4nion.
 Many women fail to see. the charm in their own husbands until some other woman manifests better eyeslght In that particular line.

OCEANIC COMING.
The Biggest Steamship in the World
Preparing for Maiden Voyage
to New York City.

The greatest steamship the world
has ever seen, the Oceanic, is now pre-
pairing at Belfast for her maiden voy-
age from Liverpool to New York. Capt.
Cameron, formerly of the Majestic, has
been given the command of the Oceanic
and is engaging her officers and crew.
The graceful outlines of the Oceanic de-
ceive the beholder regarding her great
size. She has yachtlike lines, clean-cut
bow and is cut away at the counters.
The vessel has three-pole masts and two
enormous tunnels. If one of the fun
nels was placed horizontally on the
ground track for two street cars could
be built in it and the cars run through
at the same time. The Oceanic is 7O4
feet long. 6s feet Az inches wide and
40 feet deep. The ribs of the Oceanic
are only 31Ks inches apart throughout
her length, and to them are riveted IT,
600 steel plates, many of the plates in
the midship section of the ship being
% feet long. Each plate weighs from
two to three and one-quarter tons.
The engines of the Oceanic have been
topic of much discussion. The steam
ship company says the Oceanic is not
built to establish new ocean record,
but that her mission will be to leave
Liverpool on Wednesday and arrive at
New York the following Wednesday,
storm or calm.

HAS CHARMED LIFE.
Remarka bic Wounds of Volunteer

Carries a Filipino Bullet at the Apex
Of the Skull-His Left Leg
shattered by Another
Bullet.

With bullet from Filipino's rifle
resting on his brain at the apex of the
skull, the socket of his left eye empty,
his left leg still helpless, but slowly re-
gaining strength, and with a steel plate
helping out the functions Of his breast
bone, Private Harvey II. Smith, com

full soldiers head. In few days an
operation will remove the bullet, which,
if left alone, the military surgeons say,
might cause insanity and eventually
death.
Private Smiths career for seven years
past has been such as few men live to
tell about. In 1898 he was a passenger
on an eastern road when a smash-up oc-
Cured. Both of Smiths arms, the
right leg and breastbone were shat
tered. He was taken to the home of
his parents in Chicago and for months
his life was despaired of. Then his
breastbone was patched up with a
steel plate. The other injuries had
healed, so when the Klondike fever
broke out in 1897, Smith, apparently as
well as ever, joined party that en-
dured great hardships and finally be-
came stalled in the muck along White
pass.
Smith reached Seattle just few days
before the call for volunteers, and when
the call came enlisted as private in
company F. Last April in a skirmish
near San Fernando mauser bullet en-
tered his left eye and followed his skull
to the top, where 1t is to-day. Another
mauser in the same fight shattered his
left leg.
Smith was invalided home on the
Morgan City. The doctors say that ex-
cept for the loss of his left eye Smith
will be well and sound again, He is
able even now to hobble about the
reservation on crutches, seemingly the
cheeriest man among the scores of VIC

JOhnStOn'S Adventures

KNOW this story is true, for John
ston told it to me himself, and he
has not imagination enough to invent
an untruth.
He told me that if you should attempt
to enter into conversation with fell
low passenger in a Chicago train he
probably would present you with the
card in question as delicate hint that
he wanted to be left in peace.
81 am going down to Warwickshire
tomorrow said"-continued John
ston-" to spend a few days with Sco-
BILE, and I'll take this card with me. If
some one insists on talking to me when
I'm reading my paper I'll try what
handing him the card will do.
II took the train at Euston, travel
ing second-class.
my fellow passenger was fine-look-
ing woman of about 80. The heat of
the day and the excitement of catch
ing the train had given her horid col
or, and l could see that the desire of
condemning the weather and exposing
the wickedness of a cabman was strong
within her. n.
Presently the woman caught my
eye and said: I beg your pardon, but
will you tell me the exact time? My
cabman--' Es,F rtl-N
