The Cooks Csnnonade.


The first thing that strikes a lands
man on a man-of-war is the rigid
discipline observed everywhere. on
some of the ships belonging TO the
tropical countries, however. discipline
is very lax.
The Defense. a Haitian man-of war
was lying In the harbor OF Port a.
Prince. One day a mess cook foa
some reason cleaned about a peck OF
knives and forks on the gun deck. and
being suddenly called away and not
wishing to spend time TO go TO the
galley. he seized the mess pot full OF
knives and forks and stuck II In the
muzzle CT the ten inch gun, putting the
hampton In after IL.
About an hour afterward the admiral
came aboard. and as the gun was
loaded with blank cartridge they used
II to tire a salute. r.f .ur
IL happened that the gun was aimed
toward the town. and almost point
blank at the Grand hotel The guests
assembled on the porch TO witness the
ceremonies. when they were saluted
with rain OF knives aud forks,
which stuck against the wooden walls
like .Iuills on n porcupinc.

Ardmore has indeed much cause to
be gratifed with her progress during
the year now closing. The city has
made rapid strides forward. Improve

have had a prosperous business sea

tion. Our churches. all Of them have
been materially strengthened and the
various revivals have been productive
OF great good. Yet with all these
pleasant surroundings there are those
upon whom the rude hand OF afiiction
has fallen heavily, with them we
mourn and sympathize as OF one com.
mon family These burdens will be les
sened by looking upon the bright side
of the year, and as we cannot recall
the past. we should look with hope
TO what the future may have in store
for us. Ardmore has made few errors
during teh past year but We expect TO
see all OF them redeemed by the strong
arm OF commercialism during 1902.
Industries OF various kinds, mills and
factories must be secured and as we
have repeatedly said with our excel
lent railroad facilities in fun opera.

creative existence. 10 forget after the

his gigantic opposition TO the trust in
