WEAK POINTS OF
OUR NAVAL RESERVE
By JAMES D. MacDOUGALL.

The naval reserve of the District of Columbia
could be made one of the best in the United States
if a few of the weak points looked into and ad
jlsted properly One of the first things that should
be done would be to withdraw ii from under the mill
tary branch of the National Guard and place at its
head retired naval officer, who, of course, would
have the nautical knowledge required for the posi-
ton.
1t seems ridiculous to anyone who observes the
situation that many of the officers of the military
branch of the Guard outrank the officers of the Fern,
and technically would be in command while on board
Another weak point is that the youngsters who enlist
in it for the novelty of the thing. and after being in

in the lobby of the New Willard last
evening. Dr. Kerr is here in the interest
of the pneumatic tube service OF the
Chicago postofice. He will be here for
several days.
Nobody is for Mason, continued DR..
Kerr, except the people. and they gen.
orally get what they want when they
are united. And they are united on the
return OF Mason to the Senate. There is
no question as to the popularity of the
junior Senator from Illinois. He is broad
in his views on public questions, and
that is what the people like. He is lib
erai and tolerant, and If anyone thinks
Mason is not in the race they will be
sadly fooled. The Democrats are making
a desperate effort 20 carry Illinois. but
this is not a Democratic year IN ILL
nois." DR.. Kerr was formerly health Off

MEMORIES OF ONE GONE.

Sweet little maid with winsome eyes
That laugh all day through the tangled hair.
Gazing with baby looks wise
Over the arm of the oaken chair
Dearer than you is none to me,
Dearer than YOU there be none
Since in your laughing face see
Eyes that tell of another one.
Here where the freight softly gows,
Sheltered and safe and snug and warm,
What to You is the wind that blows,
Driving the sleet of the winter storm7
Round your head the ruddy light
Glints the gold from your tresses spun
But deep is the drifting snow tonight,
Over the head of the other one.
Hold me close you sagely stand
Watching the dying embers shine;
Then shall / feel another hand
That nestled once in this hand of mine;
Poor little hand, so cold and chill,
Shut from the light of stars and sun,
Clasping the withered roses still
That hide the face of the sleeping one
Laugh. little maid, while laugh you may,
Sorrow comes TO us all, / know;
Better perhaps for her TO stay
Under the drifting robe of snow
Sing while you may your baby songs,
Sing till your baby days are done
But. OH the ache of the heart that longs
Night and day for the other one!

4, I,ssrnssieaal Ice Statue.

About twenty people wintered thli
year ON the summit Of White Pass
Alasks. As time passed slowly the
small community Of American and
British residents undertook q number
Of community enterprises. Chief
among them was the erection on the
international boundary Of q heroic
ststpe Of ice and snow. The statue
sisss twenty-four feet. and Is described
Sy outcomins KlondIkers as the joint
production Of everybody Ia the com.
nunity.
The most interesting feature Of Its
building Ii the fact that the loyal
Americans fashioned that side facing
Iouthward to represent Miss Columbia.
Not to be outdone. the Britons con.
Earted the side facing northward into
Z fairly good likeness Of John Bull.
As the statue was built up the snow
was sprinkled with water. thus form

phia In 1862. and In 1869 received 4
call from the Central Presbyterian
Church Of Brooklyn. which had dwin-
died to the verge Of dissolution: He
accepted the call.
His success in Brooklyn was lmme-
diate. He found a congregation OF
thirty-fv members. 1t increased so
rapidly that n new church was needed
and the First Tabernacle was begun
In 1870. a year after his arrival.
Fire was discovered in the Taber-
nacle early Sunday morning.. Decem.
Der %, 1872. and all attempts to save
Il were fruitless. Plans We're made
ut once for a new structure Of brick
and stone. with room for GOO0 per-
sons. 1t was built. and on January
%. 1874. 1t was dedicated.
Fire destroyed the new Tabernacle
early on the morning Of Sunday. Octo-
Der 13, 1880. DR.. Talmage at once
appealed for 100000 for n third
Tabernacle. He sailed with his fam.
lily for Palestine in the same month

Sunday. May 13. 1894. after DR.. Tai.
mage had preached his farewell ser
mon. He had celebrated his silver
jubilee In the church few days before
and was about to resign.
After n trip to Honolulu. he did re.
sign on November o. 1894. and then
preached at various places until lie

First Presbyterian Church In Washing
ton, on September %. 1895. He went
abroad In 1900 and travelled extensive.
ly In Europe.
DR.. Talmage was married three
times. The bride who went with him
to his first charge was Miss Mary
Avery. Of Brooklyn. They were mar
ried In 1860. She was drowned In the
Schuylkfll River when he was pastor
Of his third church. which was In Phil
adelphia
Miss Susan c. Whittemore. Of
Brooklyn. was married to the young
preacher In 1862. The shock Of the
burning Of the third Tabernacle in 1894
injured her nerves and she died In
August. 1906. In a sanitarium.

of three weeks. DR.. Talmagc leaves
