Washington says:
Secretary Long will make recommen-
dation for but q limited increase In the
new navy in his forthcoming annual re.
pert. Il i his intention 70 especially de-
vote his pen to urging the abolition Of the
limit Of cost now imposed upon armOr
purchased by the government and to aslx
for sufficient appropriation to enable The
department. to procure Krupp aEmor for
the battleships Of the Maine class, and the
projected battleships and aEmoFed cruises.
The keels for three battleships and thres
arnOred cruisers authorized by the last
congress have not yet been laid down, the
law prohibiting the awarding Of contracts
for the hulI and machinery in advance Of
the contracts for armor. Yet the secre-
taTy believes that an increase, however
small, should be made during the coming
session.
1t can be stated that be win certainly
not recommend the authorization Of more
than three protected cruisers Of the Olyln-
Pia class, and he may determine to recon-
mend in their place that congress author
ize several small sheAthed cruisers and
gunbOats capable Of doing effective work
in the Philippine
Considerable progress has been made by
the naval board Of construction in the
preparation Of the circular for the battle
ships and armored cruisers for which Sec
Rotary Long will ask the authorization Of
KrupP armnF.
In reply TO the boards Recommendation
that the battleship Kearsarge be placed in
commission as soon as possible and her
supenmPosed turrets given an exhaustive
trial, Secretary Long has informed Rear
Admiral o'Neill, president of the board,
that such trial viii be held Immediately
after the vessel is turned over to the gov
ernment and she Is placed in commission
Final decision win doubtless not be taken
by the board on this point until the trial
Il held.
The aEmOred cruisers viii not be sup
piled with double turretS- All the ships
viii be sheathed, 80 that the speed
which they will make cannot be regarded
as fictitious as in the case Of the unsheath-
ed vessels, and they viii be able to repest
their trial trip record after being in coal-
mission several months.

Use To the great joy of the banker he
brought back a bar of gold. When
the two men had been together for an
hour the banker had gotten from Uncle
Ben the bewildered statement that. IN
addition to the small slab which he
carried. they had cached near their
camp a rough bar that would weigh
seVenty-fiVe or eighty pounds. He was
tired of living so, starving in bank
vault so to speak. and had at last
gained ChekkO'S consent to give up
third interest in the mine for the bank
er's help. But first ChekkO must have
some tangible proof of the bankers ex-
istence and of his wealth. Finally IL
was agreed that the banker should
weigh up the gold that Uncle Ben had
brought-the bar, the nuggets and three
bags of dust. and find the cash value
of the whole. Thirty-six thousand,
nine hundred and sixty dollars was
what ii was worth.
How much is ChekkO's share!
asked Uncle Ben eagerly.
The banker figured a moment ana
said: "SI2. 800 Then take Sl2,32O IN
cash and show il TO Chekko. He knows
money-knOws what it looks like-an II
we show it to him ne will be satisfied:
then YOU can bring the money back and
lock it up in your iron box again You
can bring the big bar of gold at the
same time he added, as If this had
been a mere afterthOught.
The banker sighed sigh that was
great relief to him, and then he called

prospector would have passed on with
out recognizing the banker. but the lat
ter would not let il happen that way.
He spoke to the miner, calling him
Uncle Ben. and showing great surprise
and much pleasure at the unexpected
meeting Uncle Ben was remote. but
not altogether frosty in his intercourse
with Macquagin. After much persua-
sion the prospector consented 10 break
bread with the man who had offered to
help him, and before they left the table
they had some white wine that spark
led a bit like hard cider. and it put
Uncle Ben in better spirits than he had
shown for some time. As the two men
came down the long flight of steps that
led from the hotel 10 the depot. Uncle
Ben actually leaned, at times. upon the
bankers arm.
When the last CLINT of gold was gone
from the western sky and the stars
studded the blue vault above the valley
of the Columbia. the two men said
gOod-by. and Uncle Ben disappeared in
the forest behind the town.
Before they separated the banker sue

dition to being superstitious, had a
great dread of white men. Ehey We're
all thieves and robbers, he said, and
he had sworn by the bark of the witch
hazel that no white man would ever
come within twenty PAGES of him. and
he, if he knew it and could avoid it,
would not pass within twenty miles of
a white man.
And SO it had taken Uncle Ben two
years to persuade Chekko to allow him
to take the gold out to Sandy Mac
quagin, who, as Uncle Ben had learned,
ran a bank at Calgary.
He knew Sandy, he said, and knew
him to be an honest man.
But now Che dashed tear away it
was ell off. This Macquagin was not
Sandy and he would not deceive
ChezkO.
CO thering up his gold, Uncle Ben
moved toward the door.
DO you think Sandy would buy your
gold if you could find him?" asked the
banEe--
"Oh, ] don't want him 10 buy it. I
only wanted him to take it and ship it
away an git some sort of machine to
git the gold out with. You see the

rock" and as he spoke he produced a
handful of the richest gold quartz that
had ever been seen in Calgary.
Now, the banker could not know, pos
itively, that the slab was gold or that
the great nuggets were not nuggets of
brass, but this quartz was good rock
and he wanted some of it. AS Uncle
Ben put the specimens back into his
deep pockets and reached for the door.
the banker spoke:
Perhaps, if you can't find Sandy,
you'll let me help you out"
The old prospector smiled sadly, and
shook his head.
No" he said q don't say you amt
square, an 1 thank you very kindly,
but Chekko won't have it-not fer a
minute
That was all ne said. and he passed
out into the street, followed the street
until it became a dim wagon road, then
trail, and when the trail pinched out
! disappeared in the trackless forest.

PREGNANT THOUGHTS FROM THE
WORLDS GREATEST PROPHETS.

Our Dead-A Prayer for the Soldiers-No
Lowering OF Standard-Faith a Lamp
for Darkness - The World Is Gods
Ouarry-The Triumph Of Manliness.
Strange how the touch OF the angel Death
Trans1gures their faces, as one by one
They leave US amazed in the high noontide,
Where sweetly and long they have walked
by our side,
Their faces were pleasant and fair to see,
And winsome, and bright, and sweet;
They were tenderly human, our loved, our
own,
Their images into our hearts had grown,
Ere they sank In the wayside heat.
Then suddenly chilled were their precious
forms, .
With the breath Of the grave o'ercome,
Their faces were set in measureless calm,
Like souls In the spell OF q wonderful psalm =
And silent as carven stone.
o silent friends, but We love you still
In your stainless, majestic sleep,
And We linger with questions beside your
bed; ..
How, hog, does it seem to be lying dead
And never to laugh or weep?
Do your eyes, close sealed to the things Of
time,
Look out on immensity?
Are your ears, 80 deaf to our passionate
cries,
Entranced with music Of Paradise,
And the surge OF its melody?
We, too, some time in your lot shall share,
And, ceasing our long unrest, 81
Grow suddenly strange to familiar things,
And, soothed by the tanning Of Deaths
white wings.
Fold hands on quiet breast.
