The Navy Mans Life.

"Laymen call our life exciting and
think that we see a lot of the world"
said the navy man. but it's a big mis-
take. What do we know of any of the
ports we visit? The pier, other boats
that may happen to be there at the
same time. and the English club of the
town-thats all we see And it's all
we know about. After you've touched
at few ports and gone through the
same performance over and over again,
you get mighty tired of it.
"As for our life. what is it but a
perpetual club life? There are a few
professional club demands. but the rest
of our time is spent in much the same
way that a man spends his at his club
lin smoking. reading. in swapping
lies. in making oneself agreeable to
ones friends who may do him the hon
or of visit and in making oneself
agreeable to some other fellows
friends who may do him the honor
of visit-that's the sum of our ex.
istence. and when you think that's it
for day in and day out you can but
agree that a whole lifetime of it might
begin to pail.
ITS like wearing evening clothes all
the time or spending ones life at the
opera. or always having dessert and
nothing else for dinner. All play and
no work makes dull boy of almost
any Jack. sometimes wonder how
any of us navy men manage to rise
superior to our opportunities for sink.

lars, at a low estimate, will be spent by
private persons TO receive election re-
turns in this city BY wire tonight and
get information a few hours ahead Of
that which the Wednesday morning
papers can furnish.
In addition to this heavy expendi-l
ture will be made by the Chicago Teie-ll
phone Company 10 supply all its pa
irons with its bulletins during the en-
tire evening and probably 100000 other
persons will be served with the great
news of the day without money and
without price in front of the newspaper
offices, where bulletins will be displayed
and in public halls and theaters opened
for the occasion.
Popular interest in securing early re-
turns seems to be as great this year as
1T was four years ago. despite the lesser
interest which has been displayed in
the campaign itself. The Chicago Tele-
phone Company has applications from
about $500 persons who desire its con-
ltinuous bulletin service, and the Postal
Telegraph Company will supply news

fees.
The Western Union Telegraph Com-
pany reports less demand for its SER

will supply over 200 instruments in va
rious parts of the city. The residence
