architects:
"A good many of the so-callcd cruis-

Junk for our purposes. Such ships as
we improvised in the war with Spain
will not answer in the next war.
I'VE cannot hope to excel IN target
practice when the powder charges and
sights do not correspond. when mis-
fires and delays occur from poor am
munition, and when the gun mounts
themselves are in need of thorough
overhauling.
Just now, the navy needs unusual
and heavy expenditures for ordnance.
Ships have been in continuous service
from the pressure of the last FIVE years
and every one of them needs to come
to navy yard and get a complete
Dverhauling as to battery and particu-
larly as to ammunition, as they have
on board heterogeneous lot of brown
powder, smokeless powder and projeC-
tiles collected from various sources"

it was not only an aid but was the

sold her to Webster, Pa, barber fol

would have been willing to pay much
more than $40 If it had been a cues.

Josephine was employed at the resi-
dence of L. L. Love of Aspinwall, Pa.
as a servant One night determined
effort was made to kidnap her. The
man in the case was found to be the
barber who had bought her. The
barber failed, but he went to the
humane society with complaint that
the girl was being illegally detained
In the Love household, and that he as
her finance demanded her.
The humane society officials became
interested and made an investigation
Then 1t was learned that the mother
had sold the daughter and that the
barber was endeavoring to carry
home an unwilling purchase. BY
further investigation the society found
the young Italian who was Miss
Josephine's choice and arrangements
were made at once for the wedding.

iMDacT MENTr AGAINST SLANG.
San franciscan Says it Has Spoiled
Many Passages of Poetry.

until the last slang phrase is coined,
and that will not be for long, long

had no objection to slang" said
Thomas Chadbourne, of San Francis
co, at the Manhattan, until it began
to ruin certain passages of poetry for
me, and then | objected seriously. In
its essence, slang is but an expression
of the sense of metaphor which is in
herent in us all, and hence allied to
poetry. But slang never hits upon a
beautiful metaphor, always an ugly
one. achieving humor too often by
making the sublime ridiculous.
There are, probably, no more
beautiful phrases to be found
in all poetry than these
which relate to the human eyes:
Heine, Tennyson, Rossetti, are fun of
such phrases, which you will at once
recall But | for one, connot read
these beautiful passages now without
having pop into my head that awfully
expressive slang phrase, Goo goo
eyes What poetry can resist such a
suggestion? When my sister read to
her Sunday school class the story of
Lots wife, and one of the small boys
whispered to his fellow Rubber neck,
there was another beautiful story
spoiled forever for him and the rest
by slang. The list might be extended
indefinitely. Macaulay might have
changed a line in the Lays had he
foreseen the song about retiring to the
rear and being seated. for instance.
Indeed. slang has much to answer for"

THE OTHER ONE.

Sweet little maid with winsome eyes
That laugh all day through the
tangled hair.
Gazing with baby looks so wise
Over the arm of the oaken chair,
Bearer than you is none TO me,
Dearer than you there can be none;
Since in your laughing face see
Eyes that tell of another one.
Here where the freight softly glows,
Sheltered and safe and snug and
warm,
What to you is the wind that blows,
Driving the sleet of the winter
storm?
Round your head the rudy light
Glints on the gold from your tresses
spun,
But deep is the drifting snow tonight
over the head of the other one.
Hold e close as 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,
Shut from the light of stars and sun.
Clasping the withered roses still
That hide the face of the sleeping
one.
Laugh, little aid, 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,

people suppose, but first dart for their
victim, catching them generally by
the thigh, biting open the artery with
their viscious teeth, and afterward
when the victim has bled to death,
