The sultan's Admiral Lost His aat.

At time when the relations between
the United States and the Sulan Of
Turkey were strained to the utmost, and
the wires between Constantinople and the
State department were hot, the ranking
admiral Of Turkey called upon President
Mckinley and had long chat. The
visitor was short man with bushy black
hair, cut close and pompadour. He speaks
good English and is very much interest
ed in American affairs. He had mislald
his white Fedora hat, and had probably
forgotten that he did not wear fez or q
chapeau. As the search proceeded I
heard him say one little word that in
dictates his higher civilization. It was q
short explosive, explanatory word, often
spoken, but which does not look good in

| usual, just trifle beside the mark
However ,itwasa settled thing from the
time Mr.. Jobson issued his pronuncia.
| mento on the subject of summer trips
that there would be no summer TRIP
for the Jobsons this year. Mrs. Job
son was content with that understand
ing. She had never been particularly
fond of the hotel existence and the in.
cessant dressing and plunging about
of seaside resort.
Frequently during the winter, when
friends of the Jobsons would ask them
where they were going when the sum-
mer came again, Mr.. Jobson would ex.
patiate at great length and with much
fervor upon the complete lunacy OF
modern folks who think they're abused
and imposed upon if they can't man
age to leave their comfortable homes
for month or two every summer and
they had to spend all their time fan.
ming themselves and fighting mosque
toes and trying to convince themselves
that they were having a swell time.
'Not any more for the Jobsons," Mr..
Jobson would wind up, decidedly.
'Folks who can't make themselves
happy and comfortable and contented
in Washington from January the 1st
until December the 31st simply don't
know when they're well off, and
they're welcome to do all the summer
resort gadding they want to. But ]
know one Washingtonian who will
henceforth find Washington good
enough for him the year round"
Mrs. Jobson did not begin, as usual,
in April to get her clothes ready for a
summer trip. She was, in fact, rather
glad to be rid of that bother. Nothing
was said about summer plans, and she
took it for granted that they would
have quiet, comfortable season of it
beneath the shade of their own vine
and fig tree.
There were some humid, sultry ouys
late in May. On the second humid,
sultry day late in May -hr. Jobson
came home from his office hopping his
forehead good deal and complaining
that he hadn't felt so run down" in
years. 1t was obvious to Mrs. Jobson
that he wanted her to suggest that
they take spin to some cool place,
but Mrs. Jobson didn't have any such
suggestion to make. she said she
wasn't feeling the heat at all. Mr..
Jobson looked sidewise at her, and
then he went on to say that he
thought Washington would have d
pretty warm summer of it this year
Mr.. Jobson saw lot of pictures of
young women in bathing suits in the
fashion department of one of the pa
pers early in June, and he commented
upon how much more stylishly women
are beginning to rig themselves up for
salt water bathing than they did in
former years. Mrs. Jobson didn't take
the hint, and again Mr.. Jobson gazed

/ Get that young orchard of yours
into the bearing habit. Do the neces-

blashing only once in two or three.
Trees resent the latter treatment, and

stead of fruit when so managed.

to do some pruning at the same time.

THE RESTLESS ONES.

The man who wants to do things,
He's a very curious chap:
He's the author of few things
That have changed the nations map.
He has argued and Grated;
He has done his level best;
He is lampooned or he's feted
And he never gets a rest.
They buffet and abuse him
And he finds when he is through,
They forget him and refuse him
What is honestly his due.
And sometimes his name is banished,
Like a comet strangely bright
That has famed awhile and vanished
Somewhere far into the night.
All serene in his convictions
He must face the jeering crowd:
OF his personal Affections
He may never speak aloud.
And that hustling, bustling fellow
Eager to go forth and act
Possibly my hearts too mellow,
But l like him for a fact.
OF the martyrs I've been reading
In that book compiled by Fox,
And reformerS I've been needing,
Who have graced the headsman's blocks.
Perhaps l misconstrue things
And should fling him cynic rhymes.
But the man who wants to do things
Well. we need him bad, sometimes.
