The reason Solomon told so many
truths about women was because he
was brave enough to do it.
When a woman sits in church with
a sad, far-away look in her eyes she
isn't always thinking about heaven.
When a girl is trying to make up a
quarrel with a man. he can ALWAYS
start her off again by telling her how
1t started.
One reason all women are dead sure
they can fool all men is that most men
keep their mouths shut as to what they
think about 1t.

low the Men Behind Our Navy's
Guns We're Disciplined.
From the time of the destruction of
the Maine, in the harbor OF Havana,
on Feb. 10, our naval force in southern
waters had been placed partially upon
a war footing. 1t was not by any
means that war was considered newt.
able. On the contrary, it was thought
that even should the court of inquiry
decide that the Maine had been treach-
crously destroyed, Spain would meet
all reasonable demands; but the state
of preparation was q state OF security
demanded by military prudence, and
also valuable to men and officers as
discipline and exercise.
The men had already been we'll train

mechanism and manuals-the principal
business of the cruising man-of-war in
time of peace, but to this training was
added const2nt daily target practice

for which all batteries are now fitted.
1t consists in firing small projectiie

of the secondary batteries. During
those waiting days at Tortugas and
Key West, fluttering flags a few ,.un-
dred yards from each ship showed the
targets, and for hours each day the
splash of bullets followed the rifle re-
ports with monotonous regularity.
After each shot the gun was swung
off the target. brought back, and aimed
anew for the next, thus making it an
independent exercise. 1t was not in

Napoleon the Great who has merited

manly the farther removed they were
from the parent stock. In 1883 the
Comte de Chambord, who was a grand
