THE ILLUSTRATED BEE.

had no definite idea as to VIA he wanted
to do. For a time he worked a little about
the livery stable and loafed more. Then a
cousin OF his mother, Captain NJ. f. Nc
Donald, who ran a grocery store here,
wanted to make a clerk Of Charlie. The
boy was all ready to take the job when A.
J. Spiegelmire came to Loretto on a visit.
Mr.. Sp'egelmire had lived formerly i'm Lo-
retto. He was part owner Of a general mer-
chandise store in Braddock. He offered him
a clerkship at 81 a week. Charlie accepted
But young Schwab wasn't cut out for a dry
goods clerk. At the end of FIVE months Mr..
Spiegelmire's partner, w. A.. McDevitt, in
formed Charlie politely that as he couldn't
tell calico from Bingham after all these
months he'd better look out for another Job.
Charlie Cooked out" so well that up to
date w. A. McDevitt has the distinction Of
being the only man who ever discharged
Charles NJ. Schwab.
Between Schwab and Spiegelmire there is
an attachment that is the joke Of all
Loretto. Whenever Schwab comes to town
everybody says, well, l see Charlie is
back again. Guess A. j. will be along pretty
soon" A. ]. generally does "be along
pretty soon and makes straight for the
Schwab house.
Spiegelmire loves to chaff his ~ex-employe
with, well, Charlie, I'm responsible for
your success. l saw it in you, took you to
Braddock and gave you your chance" One
day recently after Spiegelmire had told this
to a crowd of Loretto folk Schwab turned
the tables by saying:
I'll grant you that, S~piegelmire, if you'll
pay me the last weeks wages 1 earned in
your store. You've never squared the ac-
count"

The Artists Joke

Brooklyn Eagle; The writer was de-
scribing a crowd gathered on a gala oc-
casion.
THE stands" he wrote, were draped
with people,"
He paused to reflect.
Rather a neat way of putting it," he
said, by way of tossing himself a bouquet.
Then the story went to the artist, who
read 1t with care.
81 am told" said the artist, that my
pictures do not always fit the text. Clearly
II is up to me to show that l can follow
copy in this NATTER"
So he draped the stands with people.
They hung in gay festoons from pillars
and posts, some by the hands and some by
the feet, and some hung hammock-like by
both hands and feet. Never was a story
so realistically pictured. And yet-and
yet
The feud between writer n artist still
exists.

His Free Will Offering

Chicago Tribune: What's that IS kept

That's our voluntary contribution for

But 1t isn't a voluntary contribution.
You've no right to hold It out on me. That

But you have to pay it, you know, or

difficulty Of getting things to drink there,

The day after arriving at his destination,
a small town near the Rangeley lakes, he
went to the only store and asked the CLERK
IL he kept any lines. The clerk though,

"B1ue Ribbon" Beer

Made by storz Brewing Co, Omaha, fast win
ling fame.
A few quotations from the United States Health
Bulletin, New York, June 4, 1902:
BLUE Ribbon Beer yields the greatest tonic
strength so much desired to assist Digestion"
such a palatable tonic must at once quench the
thirst and also revivify the energy lost by high
temperature OF the blood"
For home use Blue Ribbon exXcels as a table
beer, being OF value to wives and children"
LAS a summer beverage IL is par excellent"
Supplies the proper stimulation to give a tonic
strength to overcome lassitude."
BLUE RIBBON is not a cheap beer, but a good
wholesome beer, containing more food properties
than any other beer"
All danger from germs are entirely eliminated by
complete sterilization.

Attempt of Navy to Capture Second

THE BANKERS RESERVE LIFE

When the naval and military maneuvers
on the eastern coast are completed, the
people of America will probably discover
that the coast defenses are equal to the
task of preventing the capture Of the prin-
cipal cities OF the Atlantic seaboard. They
may also learn that the American navy
is equal to the task of blockading any har-
Dor and is also able to throw shells from
the sea into the midst OF several cities
otherwise safe from naval attack.
because a well disciplined army and a
strong navy are the best guaranty Of per-
manent peace. 'In time of peace prepare
for war" is a maxim experience has taught
the nations of the earth to adopt. We have
every reason to believe that America need
fear no hostile attack. Determined to be
independent Of the remainder Of the world
in all commercial matters, we must also be
able IL necessary to defy the warning hosts
and floating armies of the whole earth.

PERMANENT CENSUS BUREAU.
House Considered a Bill For One.
Motion to Reeommit
Carried.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE House
spent yesterday considering the Hop
kins bill TO create a permanent cen
sus bureau. While the general senti-
ment was in favor OF a permanent
bureau there was strong opposition
to the bill as drawn, on the ground
that it was not well matured. There
was also an overwhelming demand
for provision to place the present
employees OF the census bureau I'M
der the protection OF the civil service
law, and the bill finally was recon-
mitted With instructions To report
back bill containing plan for u
detailed organization of a permanent
census bureau to include also a pro.
vision to place the present employees
under the civil service. The fight
to feeommit was made under the
leadership of Mr. Burkett, of Nebras-
ka, the new member OF the appro-
priation committee.
The bill was then opened to amend
ment, and Mr.. Hemenway (Ind). Of
Tered an amendment to provide that
persons now employed in the census
bureau, not including janitors, shall
be eligible to appointment in other
departments without examination or
qualification by the civil service com
mission upon the recommendation of
the head of such department.
MI Mann (IlL), opposed the
amendment because it placed no time
limit upon the eligibility OF employees.
The Hemenway amendment was
adopted without division.
Mr.. Burkett then moved that the
bill be reported. to the House with
the recommendation that it be recon-
mitted with instructions to report
back as a substitute a bill providing
for the detailed organization of per
manent census bureau, and with a pro-
vision therein to place the present
employees of the bureau within the
classified service.
Mr.. Hopkins attempted to secure
the ayes and noes on the motion to
reeommitt, but only SO members sec
onded mis- demand-not a sufficient
number. The motion to recommit
was carried.
The House then adjourned until
Monday.

DR.. WATSON, SURGEON
AT ARSENAL DURING WAR

The Dubuque Times devotes large
space to DR.. William Watson, of that
city. who is leaving to make his homo
i'm Chicago. DIR. Watson is 76 years
old and has been resident of Du-
buquc since 1854. This extract from
the article i'm the Times is of special
interest:
"1n October, 1861. DR.. Watson was
commissioned surgeon of the nth
Iowa infantry by. Gov. Kirkwood,
and served with marked ability until
the close of the war. He saw serv-
ice at Shiloh. Corinth and other big
battles, and made an excellent rec
ora. subsequently he was appointed
assistant surgeon of the United
States volunteer corps by Assistant
Surgeon General Good. of the United
States army. who had married one
of President Taylor's daughters, and
who was u brother-in-law of Icffer
son Davis. president of the southern
confederacy. He was assigned to
Memphis, where he remained busiIy
engaged during the Nicksburg cam
paign. In 1863. in recognition of his
services. he was promoted to surgeon
and, after service at Jackson hospital
and Louisville. he was ordered to re-
port at Rock Island, ILL.,. as post sur
geon. There were 1,500 confederate
prisoners of war in Rock Island,
when DIR. Watson took charge of the
post hospital. The smallpox broke
out among the prisoners and 1881 of
them were seized with the disease,
which was of the most virulent form.
MI these eases were reported in
three months. and the doctor and his
assistant had To work night and day
in their efforts To check the disease.
When il is said that out of 1881 pa
tients only 31s died, it will be seen
the doctor did good work. He is an
expert on smallpox and was highly
commended by Gen. Wood for the
work he did among the prisoners.
Dr. Watson was given an opportunity
by Gen. Wood to go to Johnson's is
land where all the confederate Of
ficers captured were held prisoners.
but he declined. preferring, as he
said, to be as near Dubuque as pos
sible.'
