AN INJUSTICE.

Admiral Sampson seems to have

In the army and navy the primary
requirement is not for men who car

for men Who can act we'll their par
in the time O: battle. Men who are
loyal TO the government. Men WIG
can fight. In arguing against The
whole system o: promoting from the
ranks Admiral Sampson expresses
the hope that it will never be found
necessary to commission enlisted
men. In other words Sampson
would forever dtbar the men who
enlisted in the rank and file from
rising above it. The man behind
the guns, no matter how good ser
vices he dces, no matter how deserv'
ing OF pr motion, there he must re-
main. Only those Who enter the
service through the doors OF the
Naval Academy can hope TO rise.

She Was Too Kind.Hearted.

There is one young woman living at
LAnse, Mich, whose benevolent dis
position received a severe shock on a
recent Sunday evening. She was at
church and sat directly behind a tall.
well-dressed stranger, with a raveling
hanging to his collar. Being one of
those generous-hearted, whole-souled
girls who grow up to be motherly old
ladies' friend to everybody in town,
she thought how glad she would be IL
some kind-hearted girl would do as
much for her father were he to go to
church with travelling hanging down
his back, so when the audience rose
for the first hymn she concluded to
pick 1t off. Carefully raising her hand,
she gave a little twitch, but 1t was
longer than she supposed. and a foot
or more appeared. Setting her teeth,
she gave a pull and about a yard of
that horrible thread hung down his
back. This was getting embarrassing,
but, determined. she gave 1t another
yank and discovered that she was un-
travelling his undershirt. Her discom-
future was so painful that chloroform
would not have alleviated her suffer-
ings nor n pint of powder hidden her
bushes when the gentleman turned
with an inquiring look to see what
was tickling his neck.

The late Father Boyle. who for years
was one of the most prominent and
popular Catholic priests In Washing
ton, had great reputation as a wit.
Some of his most intimate friends were
Protestants and members of the Prot
estant clergy. a few months before
his death he erected missionary chap
el down by the navy yard and bought
at n junkshop an old bell which had
been discarded by one of the Protes-
tant churches. He sent the bell to a
foundry In Georgetown and had sew
eral inches Of metal pared off the rim.
Having thus got rid of a crack, the
harsh and discordant tones of the bell
became soft and sweet. Meeting a
Presbyterian minister not long after,
Father Boyle called his attention to the
change. and the latter could scarcely
believe 1t was the same bell.
what In the world did you do to
that bell" inquired the Presbyterian
pastor. Ito cause such a change In the
tone?"
I'VE blessed II and blessed 1t and
blessed 1t until we got the Presbyterian
devil out of it." retorted Father Boyle.

years more. After twenty years of SER
vice the old engine Ii sold at auction
1t may be bought by another city or
town for use as a fire engine, but this
happens very rarely. The engines arc
heavy and they must be drawn by
horses, so they are not adapted for use
In smaller cities. The old engine is
oftener bought by contractor for use,
for instance. In pumping out cellars. In
such service a steam pressure Of fifty
pounds might be ample for the work,
while in fire service n pressure of $50
pounds might be required. In such
work as this the old engine might last
three or four years more.
Sometimes the discarded fire depart
ment engine is bought by a junk deal.

LAYING A GHOST" AT SEA
Tact of n Captain Solves the Mystery
of a Funeral Bell.

Sailors have great respect for. the
supernatural. In "a Sailors Log"
published by the Appletons, Rear Ad-
miral Robley D. Evans tells this good
ghost" story: 'One of our ships has
had a very curious ghost experience
while cruising In the Mediterranean,
which is well worth recording. At
about midnight, when over 100 miles
from land and while everything was
perfectly quiet about the deck, the
sound Of a tolling bell was distinctly
heard. 1t could be plainly heard by
the officer Of the deck as well as the
men, and 1t continued for several min
utes. To the crew 1t sounded like a
funeral bell. and they decided that
some one was going to die. With much
difficulty the men were finally sent to
their hammocks and ordered to keep
silence. The next morning the story
was all over the ship, from the fore
castle to the officers messes. When
night came again many had forgotten
the incident. but at the same hour the
tolling of the bell was again distinctly
heard and +ha ---hvic eso-- ga+hsrcd
on deck to listen In superstitions ST.
lence. The officers were much puz-
zled, and many theories were advanced
to account for the strange and unus-
ual noise.
THE third night found captain and
all hands, officers and men, on deck,
determined. If possible, to find a solu-
ton Of the mystery. At the proper
time the sound of the bell came clear
and distinct, tolllng as IL for a funeral.
The captain and several of the officers
then began a careful investigation.
which soon cleared the matter up. The
galley of the ship, where the cooking
was done, was under the topgallant
forecasue, about twenty feet from
the ships bell. The fires In the gal |
ley were put out at o'clock, and 1t
was found that at certain point In |
the process Of cooling the contracting
of the metal In the galley made 1t
give out cracking noise which ac.
corded with certain tones In the bell
and caused 1t TO ring.
THE very puzzling ghost story was
solved, and the men went to their ham,
mocks, many of them still shaking
their heads and predicting that there
was trouble In store for somebody"
