 Bum will not visit the officers quar- ters. or berth deck. Even the most in viting dish of roast beef held under a hatch will not induce him to go below. It appears that in the early part of the cruise Bum was lying in the ward room. An officer was also lying on the transom close by The roll of the ship caused a rose jar to slide off the table and break. Bum jumped up and look ed at the officer, as much as to say Did you do that?" Well, I shall be blamed for it!" And with his tail be- tween his legs sneaked out. Since that day the only time Bum appears on that deck is when he is carried there, which we are compelled to do when having great gun target practice. Bum tun- bles all over when he sees preparations made for this event Then a couple of men will carry him below, before the first gun fires. At Port of Spain Trini- dad, liberty party assembled on the wharf awaiting the boat to carry them back to the ship. One of the men who could not steer a straight course, on reaching the edge fell overheard. Bum immediately jumped in and held him until a boat pulled to them and both were hauled aboard. He carries sev- eral scars from battles with other dogs. Although gentle as lamb on board ship, he is always ready for scrap when he meets another dog on shore He has never been hipped.-Letter to Philadelphia Bulletin.

A Clergyman's Unconscious Adroitness
 in Horse Trade
 I reached camp at Chickamauga on Saturday, had service on Sunday, and on Monday proceeded to buy horse Being a sailor by education and natu- ral predilection, I knew but little about horses, so l turned over the conduct of negotiations to an old trooper of the Seventh United Sates cavalry who had enlisted with us. He bought the horse.
 He took me to see him, and he was present when the purchase was con- summated. He stood by the seller, and calmly pointed out defect after defect in the animal, which the other man re- pudiated vehemently, at the same time calling attention to perfection after perfection in his steed. I never saw such divergent views about single animal. Finally, alarmed at the zeal of my advocate, I remarked decsively that if the horse had all the faults he said it had I didn't want it at any price, whereupon the seller with alarm ing promptness came down in his fig ures to a reasonable basis, and before could utter a protest the horse was my own. As I had unequivocally com mitted the negotiation to the ex-troop- CT, I felt that I was in honor bound to abide by his decision We led the horse away, I confess, with a very rue ful, disgusted feeling on my part.

 navy yard. The Hartford was fitting out there at the time for a cruise around to the Atlantic. Mum made 1 several calls on board and seemed to | like the change. When the English ship l finally discharged her cargo and sailed | from Mare Island, Bum was left be- 1 hind, so he settled down as one of our regular crew. He soon showed his preference for our men in blue jackets uniform, as he looked on one in citi- zen's clothes with suspicion, and would hang around to see that no harm was intended. When men would leave the ship for target practice, liberty or drill
 of any kind, Bum was sure to be one of the party.

 extended to him, he will watch his chance and slip down in the boat. Bum
 is genarally one of the first to get on

 he wanders around all day and occa- sionally breaks his liberty and remains over night, but always finds his way

 At Bahia. Brazil a monkey was brought on board. We named him Ru- fus, because he whistled. He soon be- came great chums with Bum. They would romp and skylark like two little dogs, Rufus at times jumping on

Buns hair was long, so Rufus could hang on with safety We found it necessary to clip Bum on account of warm weather; then Rufus found it rather difficult to keep his hold and could not account for his sudden tum- ble to the deck. Rufus had an English walnut one day which he hammered on the deck and tried all sorts of ways to break it. As a last resort he placel it in Bum's mouth. Bum cracked it and laid it on the deck. Rufus gathered in the walnut and perehed himself in a safe place to eat it. We were compelled to part with Rufus, on account of his mischievousness. He would steal any thing within reach visiting officers rooms and helping himself to pipes,
