But the mighty hand OF fate,
Sank beneath the ocean waters,

ADe,ightfuI Companion.

Imagine friend VINO would listen
to a recital of Your troubles, give You
help and encouragement, and never
tell a soul; who would visit you reg
ularly without waiting for you to re-
turn the call. and who would always
leave YOU feeling brighter and hap
pier than when she came: who would
give YOU the cream of the late news
i'm Il few words, and never forget to
bring budget of helpful suggestions
TO make your work easier. What
would you not give for such 4 friend
How eagerly would YOU look forward
to her coming, and how disappointed
would YOU be should she fail to put
in an appearance at the customary
time
Like semi-monthly visits from a
dear friend" That is what IS said of
the Housekeeper by all its readers, and
the lady who has not had this most
delightful nome companion has missed
Il treat. 1t is loss for which there is
no good reason, for none need be de-
prived of its visits since the subscrip-
lion price is only 30 cents year. and
they who have not that amount OF
money can earn the magazine in an
afternoon by persuading Two friends
TO subscribe.
The progressive hOusekeeper will
find this magazine invaluable, for ii
tells the best and easiest way to do
all necessary work. and helps her to
economic not only in money, but in
time and strength as well. 1t keeps
her informed as to the most import
8Ht1news of the day. a=Id furnishes in
tefestfng reading for her entertain
ment when she is too tired to care for
anything except fiction. The serial
story in the present volume is from
the pen of John Strange Winter, and
is considered one of the best of the
many good stories written by this
bright author. Many of the short
stories are furnished by well known
writer's, and all are far above the
stories usually found in domestic
magazines. The departments of fash
ions. fancy work, household helps,
economy club, home talks, mothers
council. entertainments. the dooryard,
Horticulture, our young folks and news
and comment are all carefully edited,

and Porter. Upon the decks of these
historic old terrors of the seas the
sailors of the rising generation must
learn all that is to be known of our
navy; and, practically, they will thus
be taught to feel that they have grown
up with the navy from its incipiency.
They will love their calling better, and
love their country better for the ex-
perience.
With this idea in view, Lieut.. Alex
ander Sharp, Jr., has been on tour
of the western and far western states,
selecting the 400 recruits who are to
man the Hartford. He has also reen
designated to be executive officer of
the ship, when she is in commission,
again carrying the flag to foreign ports
on her way back to the waters in which
she won fame and everlasting glory.
1t is well indeed that the old battle
ship is to have such a man for eXecu-
tive officer. He is one of our naval
heroes, and deserves greater celebrity
than has been given to him. His name
has been OvershadOwed by the names
of Schley, Evans, Philip, Clarke and
others of higher rank who participated
in the battle off Santiago on July 3,
1898, when Spanish Admiral Ceryera' S
feet was destroyed. But he was an
active participant in that battle, as the
commander of the converted yacht
Vixen, little vessel which was in the
battle from start to finish, and which
rendered particularly valient service
Although well-directed shot from any
one of the Spanish ships might have
destroyed the Vixen, Lieut.. Sharp kept
her well to the fore all the time, and
she sent death-dealing missiles through
the Spanish torpedo boat destrOyers
The navy department did well in Sc
Letting such a man for the special re-
cruiting service for the Hartford; anG
also in designating him to be the eXecu-
tive officer, or first luff,' as the sailors
call that officer.
Commander Hawiey, who also par
ticipated in the great naval engage
ment, has been designated to command
| fhe Hartford, and he has diligently at
| tended to the work of supervising en-
| listments. He says: THE desirability
of having western men for jackies was
! demonstrated during our late war with
| Spain. We had a number of recruits
from the west, particularly from Iii
nois, who performed splendid service
during those trying months, and they
may we'll be proud of the records they
made. Although they lacked the orig
inal training of sailor men, they soor

overcame this handicap by their intellis
gence and zeal, and they rapidly be-
came familiar with their duties in the
strictest sense. Besides, they were
hardy and endured climatic conditions
which would have Frustrated less hardy
men,"
He further said: ''It is unfortunate
that the United States lacks a big mer-
chant marine, such as European ma
tions have, upon which to draw for their
warships in time of hostilities. Great
Britain greatly outstrips us in this
particular for the present. In my
opinion, the merchant marine of our
country will develop with wonderful
rapidity during the coming ten years.
In the meantime we can find, and have
found, in the middle and far west a
sufficient number of sturdy young
Americans, born on our soil, with pa
triotism bred in their bones and sinews.
Such men we need for the Hartford,
and for our entire navy. Heretofore we
have had in our navy too many men of
foreign birth, and without naturaliZa-
| tion. We must have strictly American
navy, and the Hartford is beginning to
| form a nucleus of such a navy.
"You see, we are not going to take
| landsmen directly on board of the ships
of the new navy. We are going to take
them on the Hartford, and teach them
to shoot straight and often, and keep
| up our well-earned reputation for
American gunnery. Then, when they
GO aboard the big modern vessels, they
will be ready for the most efficient serv-
ice. We want the nations of the world
to know that in all times and under all
| circumstances our American jackies
will shoot as we'll and as effectively as
they. did in Manila bay, and on the
south coast of Cuba, while they manned
their guns under the inspiration of the
floating signal: Remember the Maine
twelve months on the Hartford, and
will then be nortioned off among the
ships of the new navy"
SO the old Hartford has not outliyed
| her usefulness. In her old age she will
! furnish the sinews Of strength for the
navy, and will give to all of our fleets
men of intelligence and skill, who will
! be the peers of all modern artillerists,
and probably the superiors of those in
other navies; men who have been given
ample opportunities to prove what they
I can do to targets thousand or more
yards distant.
If Admiral Farragut is to-day where
he can view the American navy, and if
there be tears of joy in the heaven of
the heroes, his eyes must be moist with
pride in his old flagship, the Hartford )
the ship once so dear to him, the ship
which never knew defeat.

LEGEND OF A PRAIRIE GRAVE
Beneath the Wild Flowers Lies the
Remains of n Soldiers Beloved
Young Wife.

Near the top of the highest knoll on
the rolling prairie three miles south
west of old Fort Hays, in Kansas, is a
lonely grave in the prairie grass. There
is board at the head and another at the
foot. These boards may once have
borne an epitaph, but now they are
Drowned and worn by the sun and
storms of many years, and they are de-
cayed at the ground and stand at an
angle, almost ready to fall. A prairie
rabbit has made it's burrow at the foot
IF the grave. All around it the grass
is full of purple and yellow flowers.
Standing by the grave and looking
north and east there lies stretched out
a landscape Of wondrous beauty. The
green sod of the plains slopes grad
ually down from the grave a distance of
three miles to the cluster of long gray
and yellow empty buildings which were
the barracks and officers quarters of
Fort Hays when this was the far west,
years before there was a railroad in
Kansas. Beyond the fort is the town of
Hays, a group Of yellow stone and
red brick buildings Beyond stretches
the prairie, north and east, to the hori-
zon lire 20 and 80 miles away. Di-
agonally across this stretch of level
plains runs a thread of vivid green
from the northwest to southwest, the
trees that fringe Big creek. There are
no other trees anywhere else on the
landscape.
The legend of the lonely grave is that
years ago, when the Fort Hays barracks
were full of troops, an army hospital
steward brought his young wife there
to live with him. Each Sunday the Off
Ger and his wife walked out to this hill,
and they used to sit down on the shady
side of it near the summit and gaze for
hours out at the landscape below. Then
they could see the herds. of buffalo
roaming over the prairie, and 6nce in
awhile band of Indians scurrying
across it.
One day the young wife was stricken
with a deadly fever. Before she died
she asked her husband to promise that
he would bury her body near the top
of the hill, at the very spot where they
used to sit and look out over the won
derful landscape. He kept the prom
Use and there is her grave. The only
flowers he could get to plant upon il
were the wild flowers of the prairies
and they are blooming there yet.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

Journey of the Hartford in Dewey's
wake, because it was upon her old deck,
and in the fleets of which she was the
flagship, and under the command of
Farragut, that George Dewey learned
his first lessons of actual warfare.
When the Hartford reaches Atlantic
ports she will, in her new sphere occu-
DIV the unique. position of being the first
one of Uncle Sans fighting craft to be
used exclusively for the training of
green landsmen into the ways of typical
man-o-wars-man. The mayor of Hart
ford has requested that the staunch
and sturdy old ship be sent to that city,
and the secretary of the navy has IS
sued the appropriate orders, so that, as
soon as she arrives on our Atlantic
coast, she will sail to Hartford, where,
for the city of Hartford, the mayor Will
present a silver service as magnificent
as any that has yet been given to our
modern cruisers and battleships.
After that the Hartford will cruise
about the principal coast cities, visiting
those places where, almost 35 years
ago. the Hartford cTuised with Admiral
Farragut on board, the hero of the ma
ton; just as the Olympia has just been
cruising about bearing proudly the hero
of Manila.
But not only the people of the coast
cities are to be interested in the re-
iuyenation of the famous Hartford, but
the people of the middle west and far
west are being given an opportunity to
infuse their vigorous blood into the en-
listed branch of the navy, and 300 able
bodied men of the sections named are
recruited for terms of four years, and
they are to serve first on the Hartford,
studying practical seamanship. Sim
;Iar crews are to be enlisted and serve
ON the old Constitution. 1t is the the
ory of the older naval officers that en-
listed men of the new navy ought TO
know how to sail any kind OF snip;
whereas it has recently been customary
10 enlist men and set them instantly at
work on the steelclad cruisers and bat
tleships of the new navy. 1t is believed
that patriotism will be infused into the
Young men by having them serve on the
nd battleships, where they will learn
their history. and with it the history of
the olories and achievements OF the
navy. After that, with other young
men to take their places, they may be
sent on board of the modern cruisers
and battleships.
They must learn bow~o go aloft, to
r1n about the rigging, and be at home
with sure footing, in calm and storm.
They must learn all about the fore'
main and mizzen masts, their spars,
garnets and shrouds. They must learn
to furl, unfurl and clew garnets, Just
as the American sailors did under John
Payl Jones, Ingraham, Farragut, Foote
