when Lawton Was Scared.

Major Putnam Bradlee Strong who
was on the staff of General Macarthur
in the Philippines, snys General Lawton
confessed to being afraid once In his life
That was when he was riding with bis
12-year-old son Manley past Paco ceme-
terry, at Manila. 1t seems that a Mon
tana detail had just buried a comrade
when a California burying detail came
up. Somehow they failed to get car
tridges and asked the Montanas for some.
The latter had nothing but ball car
tridges.
ooh, they'll do" said the California
sergeant.
Ready, fire." came the order mo-
ment later.
The bullets went whizzing over the
grave and over the stone wall, on the
other side of which was riding General
Lawton, his head only few inches below
the wall. The bullets made breeze as
they went past. THAT was the only time
l can remember being scared" said the
general later, ''but my boy spoke up and
said: Papa, is this like being under real
fire? If 1t is, I Ike it.'"-Army and
Navy journal.

\ Yankee visitor to England during
the jubilee celebrations was staying at n
certain hotel In Liverpool. The morning
after his arrival he was taking a look
round the hotel when he came across one
Of the walters. Glancing up at the build

this the biggest hotel you have here in
LiverpoolT' "Well, yes" answered the
waiter, II believe it is one OF the largest

JACKS GRIEVANCES.
How He Makes Them known 10 the
Captain Of the ship.


Captain Of the ship.
There is now but one way open for the
enlisted man, hlucjacket or marine, who
has kick 10 register. lie must show his
hand and Gle his complaint In his own
person or name, verbally or In writing.
II 90, 80, 100, enlisted men have a COM
mon grievance, they must present that
grievance in delegation TO the command
ing officer or in the form Of a written bill
Of complaint, with their signatures at
tached to IL in order Of their relative rat
ing. In most cases the method Of pre-
senting grievances In delegation at the
mast is rcsortcd 10 by the enlisted men Of
the American navy Of today. The man
with the individual grievance occasional
ly puts In his complaint in writing and
addresses il 10 the secretary of the navy.
Commanding officers are compelled by
regulations TO forward all such com
plants to the civil chief of the navy
with, however, whatever Endorsement
thereon they elect TO make.
Ii is generally moderately bad Job for
an enlisted man TO write a narrative OF
woe to the secretary of the navy. Such
chap doesn't frequently find his after
career in the navy one long dream of
peace and quiet, Enlisted men who have
drawn up unreasonable complaints. even
complaints not entirely unreasonable, and
thus addressed them have generally shed
some quiet saline tears in their ham
mocks aftcrward over the foOlishness Of
the act. II seems reasonable TO suppose,
too-for human nature is the same on sea
and land-that no btuejacket or marine
can possibly add to his sum total of COM
fort or happiness aboard ship by more or
less bluntly informing the civil head of
the navy department that the command
ing officer of the vessel on which he
serves is an unjust man, bully or man
who doesn't know his business. Yet this
fact, which looks 50 obvious, is very often
ignored by rash enlisted men.-ExchanGe.

The Brain and Names,

An Austrian s0vant has declared that
the human brnin contains name cen.
ter" lie says that it is the office Of this
cell TO retain names.
\ striking case which would seem to
confirm this theory occurred at Cleveland.
a brakeman was shot by q conductor
and the former could not remember the
names OF persons or things, although he
could perfectly well describe the func-
tions Of all articles exhibited to him.
The surgeon prObcd for the bullet and

Abraham Lincoln was once retained TO
defend q man charged with stealing some
hams. At the trial the accused himself
gave some very damaging testimony,
which so alarmed Mr. Lincoln that he
went over 10 his client and told him that
any further effort TO clear him would be
useless. The accused insisted. and Mr..
Lincoln made short plea TO the jury.
The charge of the court was very clear,
and there was little doubt that the de-
fendant would be convicted. The jury
was out only five minutes and returned
verdict of mot guilty. Mr.. Lincoln

COTTON MEN DISPLEASED.
ID. NJ. Thompson's Speech Meets With
Severe Criticism.


Several members of the New England
Cotton Manufacturers Association, which
recently met in this city, have condemned
the address delivered at the opening ses-
sion of the association by d. NJ. Thompson,
the president of that organization. A
member said:
1T is a very poor vote-maker. In some
instances it is likely to produce effects
and results directly opposite to those de-
sired by the speaker. In his address
President Thompson declared that the
New England Cotton Manufacturers As
sociation is not political organization
Notwithstanding this assurance Mr.
Thomrson's speech covers eleven printed
pages dealing exclusively with politics.
He starts off to paint in lurid colors the
scenes OF financial ruin, wrecked for
tunes, unemployed labor, reduction of
wages. tax upon charity. untold suffer-
ings of the wives and children of the un-
employed. exhaustion of capital, and 9TH
er bogys, which will follow Democratic
victory. Mr.. Thompson takes it for
granted, it seems, that the people will
be satisfied to accept his views as the
only ones and unbeatable. as he offers
no argument whatever to substantiate his
assertions. The people cannot be scared
into DONG anything, the time OF intellect
ual intimidation is passed.
Il would like to know whether Mr.
Thompson imagines he can win Democrat
ic votes by defining that large body of
citizens in his speech as follows: This
modern Democracy composed of popu-
lism, anti-imperialism. and socialism is
indeed wonderful production. Its COM
ponent parts possess peculiar afinities.
1t is a political phenomenon of ignorance,
hypocrisy and deceit such as not hitherto
known in American political organiza-
tion.' 1t is unfortunate that Mr.. Thomp-
son does not think it worth the trouble
to support his argument with anything
like facts. He is apparently SO conf
dent of the truthfulness of his mud sling
ing speech that he expects the voter will
follow him through the mud.
For a piece of foolish talk, hypocrisy,
and moral cowardice just listen to this.
In speaking on Cuba. Porto Rico, and
the Philippines, Mr.. Thompson said: The
results of the war in the liberation of
Cuba have established before the world
the very highest ideal of honorable and
unselfish dealing on the part of the United
States. This, coupled with the acquisi-
ton of Porto Rico and the Philippine ISL
ands, bears the impress of the influence,
Inspiration, and direction of Divine

cans will do well to respect and accept"
