their f9olishness in having had that
extraordinary bit of tattooing ner-
formed Oh their countenances.
There was a funny tattooing Incl

attached on the Mediterranean station
about a dozen years ago. The execu-
tive officer of the ship-of course, YOU

first lu1f, as the blue jackets call him.
is, next to the skipper. the biggest man
on board a man-o'- waf-was perhaps
the quietest and most reserved man in
the American Navy. ~sLfc
An ensign was sent out to our ship
TO replace a young man who had been
relieved. The new young officer had
peen the talkiest cadet, perhaps, who
ever Went through Annapolis, and his
penchant for -volubility elung to him
after ne got his commission.
One day, soon after joining the
ship, the young ensign began at the
mess table to dilate on the subject of
tattooing. He abhorred tattooing. it
seemed. He had noticed that a large
percentage of our ships company for
ward We're tattooed and ii panied him.
It's barbarous, silly, disgusting
practice, said the young man, and
there ought to be a regulation provid-
ing for the severest punishment to be
meted out upon any man, fore or aft
who permits himself TO be tattooed. An
officer who allows himself to be tat
tooed ought TO be dismissed the SER
vice.
Now, that was pretty warm talk. in
asmuch as most of us older men at the
table We're more or less marked up
with the needles, but the older men
around mess table have to make al
loWances for the raWness of the
younger chaps, and so nothing was
said. The executive officer regarded
the laxative boy with a vague smile
in his eyes. and then transferred his at
tention to his plate.
I'VE had salt water shower bath
fixed aft on the main deck wherewith
to cool ourselves when we turned out
in the morning. Wed don short
trunks and stand under the thing and
then go over ourselves with fresh
water
"On the following morning after the
young ensign had basted tattooing so
thoroughly the executive officer walked
out under the shower bath in his
trunks. The young ensign happened
to be officer of the deck, and it was Il
study to observe how his eyes stuck
out when he had one good look at the
person of the first luff,' his very mucn
officer.
The executive officer was a giant of
s feet 2. On his chest he had tattOoed
an enormous full-rigged ship in blue
and red. On his back he had a really
fine piece about a foot and a half long
and wide that had been done by a Jap
anese. It represented a Japanese dra-
gon battling with an eagle, in four
colors -blue, red, golden brown and
green.
"On his brawny arms from his
shoulders almost to his wrists were
nicely pictured anchors. boa construct
ors. weeping willows, stars, flags and
such.
THE executive officer stood under
the shower. looking straight ahead and
smiling dreamily. He knew that the
young ensign was taking him in from
behind the engine room hatch. The
quiet humility which characterized
that young ensign's demeanor at mess
during the remainder Of the cruise was
remarkable"

King Edward Putting Himself to Great

London, Oct. liking Edward is par
ticularly interested in the presence Of
the American generals, Corbin and
Young, in England. and IL possible
hopes to meet them and Gen. Wood
when the latter arrives here. In the
meantime the Associated Press learns
that his majesty has sent special or
der from Scotland that all attentions
shall be shown to the visiting generals
while they are in London. The king hes
ordered that If the visitors care to go
to Windsor castle all the private apart
ments therein shall be thrown open and
that the equerry shall accompany them
over the castle. These special marks of
friendliness are due to he little extent
to the accounts given by the British
generals returning, SON the German
maneuvers, of the eA>- riendliness
which existed between the American
and British officers and to the kindness
which the former exhibited towards
the latter on many occasions. King
Edward has caused Gen. Kelly-Kenny,
who was one OF the British generals
who attended the maneuvers. to notify
Corbin and Younggof his appreciation
OF these circumstances. The royal hos
pitality will be accepted by the Amer

at Minnesota University.

Minneapolis. Oct. 3.-Three park po-
licemen and a plain clothes man ran
afoul the students of the University of
Minnesota this morning and came out
of the fray ingloriously woysted. The
controversy arose over the attempts of
the park police to arrest students who
ride bicycles on the walks along the
street thru the campus over which the
park board has jurisdiction. Yesterday
the students rescued one of their num-
ber who was arrested, and drove the
policemen off. This morning Superin-
tendent Berry sent four men to assert
the boards authority. The students
promptly hustled three of them off the
campus and put them on passing street
cars. The plain-clothes man was tied
to tree with garden hose. The OFF,
GERS displayed their revolvers and
threatened to shoot, but the students
refused to take the threat seriously.
