THE AMERICAN ARMY.-Thfs (the
action of the Continental Congress en-
bodying as a United States force the
New England levies beseiging Boston
in June, 1775,) was the origin of the
American army. In the intervening 126
years nearly 100000 men have worn
it's uniform: 1t has conducted with
success five great wars, covering per-
iod Of II years, and numerous minor
campaigns against hostile Indians and
Filipino insurgents: 1t has been the
chief instrument in restoring order and
inaugurating civil government after
the war with Mexico, the civil war and
the war with Spain; from its ranks
have come II Of the "a presidents OF
the United States and many hundreds
Of men occupying the highest civil
offices, governors Of states, senators
and representatives in congress, cabi-
net ministers, ambassadors and judges
of the most important courts. For a
people who have never sought war and
have only resorted to it when reluct-
antly forced to do so, the army has
filled a large place in our history. 1t
has always been the subordinate and
loyal instrument Of the civil power. In
spite of this it has ever been regarded
with a certain jealousy and suspicion,
born of other times and conditions and
surviving with extraordinary tenacity
for generations after those. conditions
have ceased to exist.-Gen. Francis V.
Green in Scribner.

PROCTOR KNOTTs RABBIT STORY.

Since the Sampson-Schley contro-
versy has grown acute again there has
been considerable reference to Proctor
Knott's rabbit story" in connection
with the credit for the victory at San
tiago. It is here reproduced:
Ex-Governor Proctor Knott and John
Yerkes were discussing the claims of
Sampson and Schley as to the credit
Of smashing Cervera at Santiago. Mr..
Yerkes took the ground that all the
honor of that memorable conflict be-
longed to Admiral Sampson, and was
inclined to entirely ignore Commodore
.Schley's part in the affair.
The governor listened until his COM
panon had finished and then, with that
characteristic twinkle in his eye, said:
"My dear sir, it is exceedingly graft
flying to me to hear you take the posi-
ton you have in the matter. 1t is like
balm to my conscience and settles a
point that has worried me many day.
I was walking through the woods once
with boy friend Of mine when we saw
a rabbit run into sinkhole. We stood
around the hole awhile; then I told
the boy to keep watch while I went to
get some fire to smoke the rabbit out.
When I returned the boy had the rab-
bit. I took it away from him, claim
ing that it belonged to me because
told him to catch it if 1t came out.
That was over so years ago, and you
are the first man who has ever agreed
with me that the rabbit was mine. I
feel now that I was right in taking It,
and my conscience is at rest"
Mr.. Yerkes looked solemn for few
moments, then smiled a feeble smile
and changed the subject.

BEHIND THE TMES.-"It isn't my
fault" declared the bachelor. IT would
have been married long ago If the fates
hadn't been against me. I simply gave
up when I discovered that the race was
too swift for me. There was a time
when all my future was centered in a
certain young lady who lived in this
city. But I had a detested rival who
caused me a good deal of uneasiness.
At last resolved to settle the matter;
so I dressed myself in my best and
made for the girls home. Say, but was
boiling mad when I met my rival at the
door. Something told me that he was
on the same errand, and we stood there
and glared at each other until the girls
mother came to the door and informed
us that the young lady had gone to a
neighboring town to visit an aunt.
"As I turned away I chanced to no
tice a hack passing. I knew that there
was a train leaving town for the town
where the girl was, in a few minutes,
and it gave me an idea. Making dash
for the hack jumped in and shouted
to the driver that I would give him $40
If he would get me to the station in
time to catch the train. Then waved
my hand to my rival as long as he was
in sight, and chuckled to myself at
the success Of my coup.
"Well, arrived at the town, found
where my friend was staying, and call
idea that my rival would be up on the
next train.
Say, I hope to never get married if
that miserable fellow hadn't called her
up by telephone and settled the whole
thing before I had even caught my
train Chicago Journal.

GREATEST HORSE EVER Bred
Among the anecdotes current in Wash
ington is one about Senator Blackburn,
of Kentucky, and Colonel Pepper, of
whisky making fame. The senator and
his valued constituent were discussing
horses, when Representative Grain, of
Texas. entered.
What are you talking about?' ask
ed Grain.
Horses, said Blackburn.
"'Oh.' remarked Grain, why don't
you talk about something worth while ?
Why don't you discuss literature or
something to improve your mind?
'Literature?' said Blackburn. What
kind of literature do you recommend?'
~ like poets answered Grain. 1
am particularly fond of Tennyson and
Longfellow.'
'Longfellow," interrupted Colonel
Pepper suddenly taking an interest in
the conversation. oh, yes; l know
Longfellow. He was the greatest horse
ever bred in Kentucky!"

FATAL ATTRACTION.

1T is a hateful habit" declared the
dandy.
"Pshaw!" said the medical student.
Whats the harm in chewing gum? 1t
improves the digestion-
And ruins the temper. Did you hear
of my experience at Lake Lucid last
summer? No?
"I was visiting the 'Smith-Joneses at
their lodge, and on the opposite shore
lived a girl I wanted to meet. You may
think how pleased was when she sent
out invitations for an informal dance
and I, as the guest of the Smith-Joneses
was included.
You know, belong to the -th regi-
ment and therefore possess a pair of
perfect fitting duck trousers. Now,
those Of the other men were only ready
made, and I would easily eclipse them.
1.-THE evening arrived, and dilemma
confronted me; it was necessary TO
take a row boat, yet to sit down would
crease my trousers. but I recalled the
famous painting of Washington cross
ing the Delaware in standing posture
and I, too, hoped to pass to victory.
IT opened the dance with the hostess
who was stunning, in some gauzy
stuff with blue ribbon. Elated by this
honor, I stepped out on the porch to
cool off on a corner Of the rustic rail-
ing. Presently started to slip down.
Imagine my horror when 1 found
myself firmly fixed to my perch.
1T realized my position at once; the
small boy Of the family had forgotten
his tolu gum.
1T was a long evening. Through the
window I could see that beautiful
blonde, with plenty Of partners, among
whom I could no longer be numbered.
John Smith-Joneses came running
out to fill up set Of lancers.
"'I am not dancing tonight plead
ed, with truth.
When supper was served John again
sought me, saying we must help the Ia
dies; but refused to stir.
"At last the boat returned and then /
literally tore himself away from the
festivities. And my hostess never knew
why I neglected to thank her for
pleasant ening."-Exchange.

WHAT HE COULD AFFORD.
How n Close Fisted Banker Came to
Change His Mind.

How n Close Fisted Banker Came TO
Change His Mind.
Robert Carrick was one Of the earli-
est bankers Of Glasgow. He went to
the city a poor boy, but he became the
leading partner in the old Ship bank.
He lived and died a grim, penurtous
man and left not penny to any benev-
olent institution in the city where all
his wealth had been accumulated.
Once, however, according to Mr.. Pax
ton Hood, he was obliged to act with an
appearance Of generosity. He was
waited on by three fellow citizens for
subscription to the Royal infirmary,
then in its infancy.
They wished him to head the sub
scription, and to their modification and
surprise he put down his name for only
two guineas, and when they besought
him to increase the amount he became
indignant and threatened to withdraw
his name altogether.
He could not really afford even so
much as two guineas. he declared.
The deputation proceeded next to the
office of Mr. Milquham. one of the great
manufa cturers Of Glasgow.
He looked at the paper and exclaim-
ed:
BLESS me, what's this? Banker Car
rick only two guineas!"
They told him that the banker had
said he could not really afford any
more.
Whats that you say?" He turned
to his faithful cashier Jamie, bring
me the handbook" Then he wrote a
check on the Ship bank for 10000.
Now, Jamie, run to the bank and
bring that money to me-
The check was presented. Old Robin
stared. go back" said he. There's
some mistake" and presently he came
running into Milquhams counting room
in great anxiety.
whats wrong WI ye the day." ask
ed the banker.
Nothing in the least degree wrong
with me. But I suspect there's some
thing wrong with you and the bank"
answered the manufacturer, "for these
good gentlemen sitting here have assur-
ed me that in your own office, out of
your own mouth, you declared you
could only afford them two guineas.
And, that being the case, I think it is
high time removed my deposits"
Mr.. Carrick was in hard place; but
he finally put down his name for so
guineas. Then Mr.. Milquham Cancelled
his check. and the deputation went
away rejoicing.-Pearson's.

CAPITAL TEN PERCENTERS.
Clerks Who Lend TO
Their Fellow Workers.

Government Clerks Who Lend to
Their Fellow Workers.
"I reckon I'll sell my salary this
MONTH" remarked the young census
clerk.
"To whom?" asked his friend.
"Why, to one Of the ten percenters, OF
course" was the reply.
Dialogues such as this are Of fre-
uuent occurrence between government
clerks in Washington toward the end OF
the month. When "a clerk sells his
salary to a ten percenter, he gives the
latter an o U for the entire salary
due him on the following pay day and
receives in exchange 80 per cent. Of the
amount. The man who makes the loan
retains the remaining len per cent
whence his name of ten percenter.
The ten percenter is said to exist un-
der one name or another In all OF the
great federal department buildings in
Washington. He is invariably a shrewd
government clerk who has bit Of mon
ey Of his own or has saved his salary
until it's accumulation represents tidy
little sum. This capital he is ever
ready to lend in sums Of from $40 to
$100.
In a majority of the Washington Of
fees the laws against usurers are SO
vigorously enforced that the ten per-
center is unable to transact business IN
safety as an Individual; he exists, new
ertheless, under the protecting title ol
a beneficial society. These fake socie-
ties should not be confounded with the
mutual beneficiary organizations which
have been established for number OF
years in many of the departments, no
tably the government printing office,
for the purpose of aiding sick or dis
abled members and their families and
of burying the dead. The ten percent
ers' society never includes more than
five or six members. They have their
charter and a carefully drawn constitu-
ton and bylaws.
Each member contributes a certain
amount of money to the funds Of the
concern, and the other employees OF
the office are quietly Informed how
they can be accommodated with loan
for a small bonus. On the first Of ev-
ery month the pool divides its profits.
These organizations are usually short
lived, as they become unpopular when
the business begins to grow large. The
death of one fake association is rapidly
followed by the birth Of it's successor,
differing from it's predecessor in name
only, so that the ten percenters are
enabled to ply their trade without very
much interruption.-New York Sun.

KILLING THE BLUE WHALE.
How the Largest Animal In the
World IL Vanquished by Man.

"Orlu IL SanQu1Sneu pS ""h'
To pursue the blue whale success
fully, explains a writer In Pearsons
Magazine, a boat is required that can
steam twelve knots an hour, and which
is furnished with a formidable weapon
known as the harpoon gun.
The harpoon gun Is ponderous piece
of apparatus placed on a raised plat
form on the PROV Of the whaler and
consists Of a short, stout cannon
mounted on broad pedestal, on Whlch
1t can rotate horizontally. The gun has
also vertical motion and can be turn
ed quickly in whatever direction the
prov of the ship dominates. On the
top of the gun are sights" for aiming,
Just as in a rifle. Behind Is the Stock
which is grasped in the hand when
firing the gun, and beneath is the trig-
ger. The breech is a box-like arrange
ment, situated just where the STOCK IS
fastened to the gun proper The gun
IS loaded in the ordinary way from the
muzzle, and the harpoon Is tightly
rammed into it. To discharge the gun
a small cartridge, with wire attach
ed, is first put into the breech. Press
ure on the trigger causes a pull on the
wire, which ignites the cartridge and
discharges the gun simultaneously.
The harpoon is about six feet In
length and very massive. 1t consists
essentially Of three parts, the anterior
conical portion, the movable barbs and
the shaft. The anterior conical piece
Is an explosive shell filled with gun
powder and screws on the rest Of the
harpoon. The explosive shell Is fired
with a time fuse after the harpoon is
imbedded in the whale.
Behind the explosive conical piece lie
the four barbs, situated at right angles
to each other. These barbs are always
bound down tightly together with thin
rope, and when the harpoon Is going
to be discharged. AS the harpoon pen
etrates the flesh Of the whale this rope
gets brushed off the barbs, and, In SO
doing, pulls a wire, which sets nre 10
the fuse, and it explodes the shell IN
few seconds The shell gets blown to
pieces and makes a terrific wound In
the whales interior, and the explosion
causes the four barbs to stand out, so
that it becomes impossible for the har-
poon to be withdrawn. The rest of the
harpoon consists of long shaft with
slot in it, in which a ring moves freely
with the rope attached.
If the whale is at all well hit the mar
poon gets imbedded about five feet, and
unless the rope breaks the animal can
not escape. The rope, which Is very
stout one, passes from the harpoon on
to a round tray in front Of the gun,
where a coil of so feet or so lies.
Taken all in all, the harpoon gun IS
about the most exquisitely cruel In
strument of destruction devised by the
ingenuity Of man. But 1t is only when
one sees and knows the prodigious
brute 1t is meant to destroy that one
realizes it is, nevertheless, none too ef-
fective. The gun is never discharged
at a greater distance than fifty feet,
and seldom, indeed, at more than 81
feet, from the whale. To be able to get
so near requires not o4ly very fine sea-
manship, but a very intimate knowl-
edge Of the habits Of the animal.
