There is now but one esay open for
the enlisted man, Bffde;acket or mar
inc who has q kick to register. He
must show hoo And and file his com
plaintgG his ownperson or name, verb
ally or in writing. If twenty, fifty, a
hundred enlisted men have a common
grievance, they must present that
grievance in delegation to the com.
manding officer, or in the form of O
written bill of complaint, with their
signatures attached to it in the order
of their relative rating. In most cases
the method of presenting grievances
in delegation at the mast is resorted
to by the enlisted men of the Ameri-
can navy Of today. The man with the
individual grievance occasionally puts
his complaint in writing and addresses
tito the secretary Of the navy. Com
handing officers are compelled by
regulations to forward all such COM
plants to the civil chief of the navy
with, however, whatever Endorsements
thereon they elect to make.
It's generally a moderately bad job
for an enlisted man to write a nara
tive Of woe to the secretary of the
navy. Such q chap doesn't frequent
ly find his after career in the navy one
long dream Of peace and quiet. En-
listed men who have drawn up un.
reasonable complaints-eyen COM
plaiuts not entirely unreasonable
and thus addressed them, have gen.
orally shed quite some saline tears in
their hammocks afterwards over the
foolishness OF the act. It seems rea-
sonable to suppose, too-for human
nature is the same on sea and land
that no blueiaeket or marine can pos
sibly add to his sumtotal OF comfort OF
happiness aboard ship by more or less
bluntly informing the civil head Of the
navy department that the commanding
officer of the vessel on which he
serves is an unjust man, a bully or q
man who doesn't know his business.
Yet this fact, which looks so obvious,
is very often ignored by rash enlisted
men.

Secretary Gold Of the Connecticut
board of agriculture has issued a sec
ond report on the subject Of abandoned
farms in the state, the first report
having been issued seven years ago.
The secretary says that later expert
nee shows that there are very few
abandoned farms in Connecticut and
that many towns report none at all,
while a great many farms once aban-
doned have Of late years been taken
up. There are, however, he says,
many farms in the state for sale at
very low prices, and he gives q list of
155 such farms, some of them ranging
from S. to So an acre, including farm
buildings. He calls attention to the
change Of industrial conditions in the
farm towns of the state during the last
half century, especially noting the
great decline Of s~heep-raising and
eheese-making and the extinction OF
small factories, particularly tanneries,
in the rural regions.

she looked q little pale. but so pretty,
SO wonderfully pretty. AS she passed
by him, she looked up at him a mo-
ment, Toms eyes were fixed above
her head, and he never glanced at
her.
All during the reception and supper
it was the same. His eyes never
seemed to rest upon her, although he
was wildly aware of Sheldon's devo-
tion.
But after the excitement of the
BRIDES departure had died away. and
almost all but the house party had
gone, Tom came up to her as she stood
talking to Sheldon. His manner was
as cool as it we'll could be.
"May I See you a moment, Miss
Kenyon?" he said quietly, looking at
Sheldon.
"Mr. Sheldon will excuse me?"said
the girl, which Sheldon did, with as
pleasant an expression as he could
muster.
They walked through the long
drawing room to the little rose recep-
ton room under the stairs. It was
quite deserted.
81 wish to apologize, Miss Kenyon,
if I offended you last night. 1t is
perhaps needless to ssure you that it
was unintentional. Will you pardon
meP" He stood before her, very stiff
and straight, with his blond head we'll
up.
The girl was picking a rose to
pieces. Her fingers trembled a little.
ST am sorry if was rude to you
last night" she said, 81 assure you it
was quite intentional on my part, but
I was very sorry after I had done it,"
Tom moved quickly. "Do you care
for that fellow" he said. "Sheldon?"
"No," she whispered, her eyes
downeast. He hesitated q moment.
"Could you eve care for me, little
one?" he said wistfully. because
you know 1 love you, dear. So
much, SO much. I can't let you be SO
hard to me-" and his voice broke q
little. Couldn't you try to love me
just a little?"
She looked up with a mischievous
little smile.
"You are not the least little bit of
a Conquering Hero now" she said,
and he took her into his arms.

why spaniards Come Here.

One of the curious outcomes of the
late Spanish American war is the i'm
migration into the United States of
hundreds Of young Spaniards, accom-
panied by their wives. They come
across the Atlantic from the smaller
towns of Spain and tell an interesting
sto y explaining why they have de-
terlnined to take up their abode under
theaag of their country's late enemy.
It appears that before aud during the
war the Spanish papers Systematically
balittled the power of the United
States; the yankee pigs were de,
picted as semi barbarians, who could
not even handle the big guns on then
warships, a merely commercial set Of
people, who traded in rough products
and were SO mercenary as to lack pa
triotism. Then came the downfall OF
the power OF Spain in her ancient col
on1es, and to explain the reason Of the
defeat the same papers told their
readers that it was impossible for
Spain to resist SO powerful an oppo-
nent with all the best mechanical APP
pliances, the lest ships, etc. in fact,
a wealthy country and a formidable
antagonist for any European power.
Then the younger generation OF Span
iards began to think that life in the
United States might, offer them broad
.er opportunities than were possible at
home. Tho emigration from Spain
began, and the great republic is gain
ing new citizens, who all expect to
make their way under the Stars and
Stripes. Mexican Herald.

The world has been continually in
evolution since its inception. It is in
evolution today, not only with reference
to the sphere itself, but touching the
welfare of the inhabitants thereof. It
is unnecessary to say that its every
revolution almost has simplifed the
system upon which the universe itself
evolves. II is, perhaps, also unnec-
essary to say that every revolution Of
old earth has brought the people who
inhabit it nearer to a condition of abb
solute equality.

Men,a Littla WAYS.

There is some difficulty in picking
out the meanest man, but it would be
safe enough to play this n for a
place in the race.
Four little fellows who seldom
know the pleasures of country life,
went we'll back on Pingree avenue the
other day to gather hickory nuts.
The nuts were there, the trees were
not beyond their climbing abilities,
and they were soon as happy q quar-
tet as could be found in Wayne
county.
While the largest was aloft whipping
the limbs, a man came across the LOT,
smiling in a way that assured the in
yaders.
"That's right, boys, have a good
time" as he sat down on a stump to
direct the campa;g n. BEAT out
there" pointing 10 q fine lot of nuts
the lad in the tree had overlooked.
"Giye it to 'em. Why, you're q
proper hand at the business. Don't
leave one. Gosh, what a shower!
Here, you other boys, rake them into
a pile. No, don't put them into O
bag. Heap them together till you sec
how many you have. Great haul,
isn't it? Nothing like hickory nuts
and cider before a big fire on a cold
winters night.
"Now get out of here, you thieving
little r~ascals, or I'll have you ali ar
rested. Nice thing to sneak up here
when you think I'm away and try to
steal my hickory nuts! Git now"
The boys ere going and he re.
turned to his suave manner as be
called after them: Every kind of you
to come up and gather the nuts for
me. Ask your parents to let you
come. again next fall"
And the meanest part of it all is

A Paris newspaper publishes statis-
tics to show that during q given period
only one death and thirty-three inju-
ries have been caused by automobiles
in that city, and that during the same
timo vehicles drawn by horses have
caused no less than sixty-seven deaths
AID 745 injuries. The statistics are
interesting rather than conclusive, be-
cause they do not take into account
the relative numbers OF the two kinds
Of vehicles in use. But the fact that
the automobile, whether in Paris or
New York City, is. less dangerous to
passers-by than is the horsed carriage
can scarcely be doubted. Machinery
Is always under better control than
any living organism, especially when
the living organism has high-strung
nerves and absolutely no common
sense, as in the case with the horse,
that scares at an old hat or a vagrant
newspaper and goes mad over vain
imaginings when il see a man draw
ing q buggy or boy riding a bicycle
without holding the handle-bars.

The Dry Goods Economist, advising
the individual who would be successful
in his business undertakings. says:
Assuming that a man has a desire to
become proprietor of a business and
is thoroughly in earnest, the shortest
formula BY which he can express the
policy that is certain to lead him in
the right direction is: ssSift things =
In other words, analyze; get down to
rock bottom of facts; scrutinize and
dissect merchandising conditions and
processes; know why b thing is done,
why goods are bought from one con-
Germ or from another, why certain
salespeople are employed; ascertain
what is cost value and what is profit
bearing yal0e. Conscientious and
continuous sitting will bring to the
surface the latent qualities, good or
bad, Of every element of business
makeup. Upon the capacity Of the
merchant to sift, not only his business,
but his own abilities and qualifications
as well, he degree Of his success will
largely depend. The face goes rarely

There are days of glory coming,

Any fate;
There's a way laid out for each
Leading through the gloom to light,
And by striving you shall reach
The fair station ON the height
Soon or late.
There are problems to be mastered
Day by day;
There are prices all the winners

There are h%ardships great and small
And the road Is long and rough,
But it's easy, after all,
