it is impracticable now to loan addi-
tional ships
All possible assistance is given by the
Navy Department to State organizations
in the way of supplying DOCKS, charts,
small boats, ordnance and other equip
ment. The appropriation that is allowed
each State for the support of it's men is
so small that they in a great measure
have to depend upon the national gov
ernment.
FOR NATIONAL CONTROL.
As the national government benefits
by an efficient body of naval militia in
time of emergency, it is contended by
naval men that the reserve should
receive not only government appropria-
tions, but that the system should be un-
der the general control and direction
of the national government. For purely
local defense the naval militia win
probably never play an important part.
Riots and interstate troubles can be
better handled, it is claimed, by the
State troops than by naval militia or
ganizations, which should be held solely
for work on the seas.
A bill has been drawn for presentation
at the approaching session of Congress
for Il national reserve under the control
of the government, upon which the navy
may draw for men in time of war. This
bill, if passed, would tend to place the
militia practically under the orders OF
the Navy Department.

While New York is giving Dewey
great welcome, Washington is waiting
with impatience. At the Metropolitan
Club, where naval and military men most
do congregate, Dewey's name is on every
lip. There is verse in Rudyard Kip
ling's Ballad of Fultah Fishers BOARD

the occasion so that it would read:
They told their tales of right and wrong,
Of bravely unwrought fraud
They backed their toughest statements
with
The birthstone of the Lord,
And cracking oaths went to and fro
Across the fist-banged board.
This revised version of Kipling's verse
might be taken as a description of the
exciting situation at the Metropolitan
Club. Here are some of the tales:
One time, when Dewey was a young
lieutenant, he sailed under an eccentric
captain. The ship put i'll at Rio .Janeiro,
when the commander WAS much woIaied

NO CRUISE THIS YEAR

treme dread of sharks. He tried to ccn-
vert Dewey to faith in the DANCE of
sharks, but Dewey held cut shat they
would never bite hun an being. This
point was long iii controversy between
them.
One day Dewey was sent ashore in he
ships dingey on some trifiing duty. He
had on. as Usual, a frocE coat with very
long tails, such as all naval oticc"s wore
in those days. In obedience to orders.
he hurried back. the sleep being OH the

sat in the stern Of the skiff, his coat
tails trailed in the water. Just as the
dingPy was on the poirt of reaching the
vessel a shark arose to the siIi1face-per-
haps attracted by the gilt buttons on the
coat tails aforesaid-and bit off the star
board side OF the lieuteliant's after lm
form.
Dewey jumped TO his feet. and well
satisfied under the circumstances to re-
linqlIsh his coat tails, ran up the side of
the ship. The Doctor" who had view
ed the proceedings from the rail of the
vessel. approached him presently with a
grim of the utmost width.

the latter expressed the opinion that all
the blrd needed was a chance to climb
into the green tree on shore. chew bark
and disport itself. So the captain sum-
nlefad his steward and bade him take
the parrot ashore and give it some exer-
else.
The captains steward was an impor-
tant rGrsen then. This one was a conceit-
ed old darkey, who aped absurdly the an.
dhoritatiye ways of his master, anI the
men were always on tine lookout for Il
chance to play him some trick When
he stepped to the port gangway to get

ty. There was a sea running in the har-
Dor which made it difficult for the boat
to keep alongside. and, just as the stew
ard put out foot toward the gIlmwale
they pllrposely eased her off, so that he
dibnbled into the sea. He was pulled out
in a minute, but the parrot and the cage
went to the bottom.
The steward was distressed. He
dreaded punishment by the captain, who
had said that he would hold him respon-

time wandering about the city and figur-
ing to himself how he would put in the

with yellow head which looked to HIM

Now. as Dewey tells the story, the cap

more sprighfly it had become. Balt his
astonishment may be imagined when, be-

of them were secretly fattered by their
friendship with the local celebrity who
was about to leave them for the North
with its wider prospects and unlimited
fields of action. 1t was Norman E. Jen-
nett who having achieved Il reputation
which extended throughout the South
as the daring cartoonist of the Raleigh
News and Observer, was starting out in
search of a higher form of art, and incl
dentally hiss fortune. Another week
found him Woodworking student at the
National Academy of Design. A few
months later he entered Chase's School
of Art. where he ranked high as tai
ented and energetic scholar. In short
time his work began to appear in the
evening and Sunday newspapers Then
occasionally, clever illustrations in vari-
Gus magazines bore his signature. Sew
eral humorous publications found his
work very acceptable, and soon his illus
trations came TO be regarded rs synony-
nous with artistic conception and ac-
curate drawing.
Several recent cover designs of Book
Notes were by his hand, and his illus
trations which accompanied series of
verses have been highly praised by many
of our readers. Mr.. Jennett is only
twenty-five years of age. but in spite of
his youth his experience has been great,
and he is fulfilling the enthusiastic
prophecies Of his many friends by rapid
~ securing an enyiable position among

and consistent work"

that the Government has at it's disposal
fine material upon which il could draw
in any emergency calling for an lmme-
date increase in the enlisted strength
of the navy. The experience gained
during the war with Spain by those re-
serves which had active service on
the auxiliary ships has not only served
to stimulate an interest in the naval
militia but has benefited 10 an aTqre-
ciable extent the personnel Of the present
organizations.
BETTER THAN EXPECTED.
The growth of the various State bodies
and the keen interest displayed by both
officers and men were demonstrated III
the recent cruises. The percentage of
men aboard The Prairie was far larger
than the naval officials had any reason
to expect Not only was tine material
found TO be excellent, but the officers
and men showed Il practical knowledge
Of their duties. Congress now appo-
pirates annually $4,000 for distribution
among the reserves, and under rule

Der of men from each State Who took

strength than to any in the country,

Western reserves are third.
The fine showing made this year and
the interest displayed by the States in
their organizations may result III Con-
gress increasing to 100000 the sum

partment. It is believed that the
growth of the naval militia organiza-
tions and the Importance which they
have now assumed. as well as their value
to the government, justifies a more
liberal policy in the way of approplia-
tions by Congress, so that more COM
nlete equipment can be provided for Of
ficers and men. The large number OF
vessels bought for the War with Spain
and the fact that the navy has little
use now for the yachts and merchant
ships purchased by the government will
enable the Navy Department to furnish
the naval militia with suitable vessels
for practical work Heretofore they
have had only old monitors. receiving
