in the shape Of cross and 1t was beauti-
fully damasked and tasseled. The ship got
into the battle before Santiago, and tho
vessels of the enemy began to sink, and
their crew were struggling In the waters,
when, from this ship speak of the officers
and sailors began to throw over chairs,
planks, tables, to help tho drowning save
themselves. After awhile everything
movable had been thrown overheard ex-
cept the pulpit in the shape Of cross.
After objection by some that It was too
beautiful and valuable to be cast into tho
waters, the cross was dropped into the
sea. One of tho drowning men seized it,
bue let go, and another seized and the
shout went from many on deck to those
struggling in the waves; "Cling to the
cross Cling to tho cross!" Several of the
drowning took tho advice and held on UNI
til they were rescued and brought In safe
ty to deck, and shore, and homo, and l
say to all tho souls today sinking In sin
and sorrow, now swept this way and now
that Though the guns OF temptation and
disaster may splinter and knock from un-

else goes down, take hold of the cross and
cling to it for your present and everlast-

mighty that he Is worth infinitely more
than 10, 600 of us.

Recruiting In France.

Every year about 800, 900 Fronchmen
reach the age of 20. After the physically
unfit and those who are exempt under
any of the above clauses have been weed
ed out the actual number of men required
to maintain the standard strength Of the
army is chosen by ballot They spend
three years in the active army and arc
then dismissed from permanent service
and return to civil life. But for the fol-
lowing ten years they are numbered among
the reserve Of the active army. They are
then drafted into the territorial army for
six years, at the conclusion Of which they
pass into tho territorial reserve for an
other six years
Not until tho age Of 45 does French
man become free from all obligation to
the military service, For ID years he is
liable to be called upon to serve either at
home or abroad, and for the following ~
years to defend his country against in
vaders.
No exemption can be purchased. IN
less n conscript is exempt either on the
ground of physique or for family reasons,
he is bound to serve his % years. Until
1890 there was GLASS Of conscripts known
as Zone year volunteers, These were
men Of good education who were allow ed
years service. Tho extent to which con-
scription has militaried France may be
gathered from the fact that every fourth
male is serving or has served in the army.

How Salisbury Lives.

Lord Salisbury would live as modestly
as any citizen on 9200 year. He cares lit
tie for society and hates fuss. To the party
receptions he is expected to attend he sends
his secretaries with instructions to be all
things to all men. He lives scrupulously,
is very precise, exacts obedience which is
never challenged, and, like Sir Charles
Coldstroani, insists that there Is "a great
way of doing everything" To be In bed
by II O'Clock is one OF the gentle domestic
orders of Lord Salisburys life. He eats
sparingly, and, like Str William Harcourt,
would doubtless say, g feel best when
eat least"

the occasion, and responses were as fol-
lows:

ME Young of FL Dorado.
"The North Hall'-Sherman Ploughe.

Mr.. o. A Boyle was down to toast the
Periclesians, and Mr.. Butcher of yelling
ton the Faculty, but neither was able to
be present. Miss Ivy Hall of Mt Hope
gave a recitation which was heartily APP
plauded, and Mr.. F. F. Williams was re-
quested to again recite the. selection with
which he successfully contested during
college days, 1.-The Last Banquet" and
he responded in a manner which added
credit to the laurels he won ten years ago
when student of the university.
Mr.. Ed. Harvey was to respond TO
toast of his own selection. He mention
ed one who was a student as we'll as an
instructor who was reticent in speech
and manner; who, when appealed to for
help, never once failed to give all the
assistance in his power; who was morose,
walked as though upon hinges, and if
seen walking down the street would at
| tract attention anywhere; who as stu
| dent always had his lesson; never went
out with the boys unless compelled TO co.
| but one who was finally suspended by
order Of the faculty namely, the old &C
| cupant of the library-the skeleton.
During the evening Frank Payne rem
dered a vocal solo. After the toasts sew

SECRETARY LOCKWOOD HAPPY
Was Big Job to Pull OF Street Fair
Successfully.

Last night as the electric light on the
gateway of the street fair blinked out
one of the happiest men over the sue
cessful termination of such a successful
entertainment was MIR. Harry Lockwood,
secretary of the fair.
No one, who has not been through it,
can realize the wearing strain a secretary
is on during the formative period of a
great entertainment. a thousand things
have to be looked after and almost stimuli
taneously and it is a matter requiring
tact and abundant good nature to keep
the mind free from distraction and petu-
lance, which would mar good work and
effective suDerintendence.
Mr.. Lockwood has gone through 1t all
with ability and credit and has shown
that he possesses good judgment, marked
executive ability, and above all. rustling
qualities away beyond the common.
AS every day passed, heaping success
upon success, his elation has increased
and his friends are proud with him over
his part in the great show.
