A sAUCY CRAFT.
The Wasp Was All Ready to Sting at
Any Moment.

What struck me as being very amusing
incident occurred just as the army trans
port Catania. having on board the list Regi-
ment, District Of Columbia Infantry, United
States Volunteers. was pulling away from
Key West, bound for Santiago. about the
9Th Of July, 1885," remarked an officer of
the local National Guard who served with
the volunteer regiment. THE U. s. s.
Wasp, a converted yacht, which did not
appear to be much larger than full-grown
tugboat, when. compared with the trans
port approached u.s. and the officer In COM
mand, who was a lieutenant of the navy,
announced, with megaphone, in a tone
that every man aboard the Catania could
hear: I have been ordered to convoy you
to Santiago de Cuba. You will take posi-
ton about 800 yards off my starboard quar-
ter In case of attack move to my disen-
gagged side and make off as rapidly as pos
sible while take care of the enemy
clearing such big talk from such tiny
craft caused general laughter on the trans
port. as well as widespread admiration for
the officers and men of the Wasp. No
sooner had the megaphOne message been
completed than the Wasp proceeded to set
busy A steamer was moving up the har-
Dor not displaying flag. The converted
yacht sent a solid shot across the bow Of
the stranger. The latter fastened to run
up the German celors. This convinced us
that the commanding officer of our escort
meant business. All went well for several
days, hut one;perfects afternoon the actions

scented. In the vernacular of the day, the
Wasp was pulling at the traces and eager
for a scrap with anything afoat.
AS we rounded the eastern end OF the
island the Wasp drew alongside the Catania
and the naval lieutenant stated, with his
megaphone: I win move ahead and put In

WAKE TO NEW LIFE.
This is the Season When Chickens En-
joy Themselves.

This is the season of the year when

are having good time. Chickens I'M
doubtedly wake up with spring. Before
living During the long winter months
they lay little and hunt the warmest and
most sheltered spots. AS a matter of fact.
eggs are the cheapest things In the food
line In the world, considering the cost of
my chickens cost me about $1.J0 week in
food, besides endless worry, attention and
medicine bills. Chickens are liable to many
diseases, and lots of them die. For six
months my chicken food bill alone was
probably $40 with practically no returns In
the way of eggs, and these returns, offset
by the cost of medicine. deaths of chickens.
etc. AT this season, however. the flock is
paying for itself. l get an ayearge OF two
dozen eggs day, or fourteen dozen a week.
At 20 cents a dozen, this is 81 10. a profit
Of probably 80 cents a week. 1t is true OF
hens that they never lay when eggs are
scarce. Naturally. IL they did. eggs would
soon become plentiful. L heard a piece of
doggerel a few days ago that went like
this, but is remarkably descriptive of chick
ems:
Mary had a little hen;

From the Philadelphia Times.
An insurance agent had made several
calls on one of his neighbors, and finally
last week persuaded the citizen to. make
application for a policy. Among the CUES
tions on the document were those seeking
the usual family history.
How old was your father when he died?"
was one of the points on which information
was wanted.
'Seventy-six," was the answer.
What was the cause of death?'
"Oh. some little thing like a cold. I be-
heve. Nothing serious, I'm sure" was the
unthinking reply.
