TIE RIG.FIsTED MAN.

Oh. here's to the nan with a hand nike
ham,
Ard fist just az big as his heart;
20 the big, manly chap, be he banker or
drudge,
Owning railroads or driving cart;
To the man who looks steadily straight In
your eyes
And gives you a grip like wise
Such men as decided long since, once for
all,
That they'd rather be men than be mice
lie may have skull like the crust Of the
earth,
And a jaw like the Terrible Turk;
Ills hands may have spread on the helve Of
a pick,
Or at some other mental work;
But his heart you'll find good as a nugget
OF gold
And twill always be faithful to you
Then here's to the man with hand like q
ham
And a soul that Is loyal and true.
He may not be versed in the dining-room's
ways,
He may never have donned a dress suit,
But he will stand fast while you're true to
your trust;
Your honor he'll never dispute,
For he's just the friend that will fight to the
END,
Till there's no further use to resist
God bless him, This man with the hand Ike
a ham,
And q heart just as big as his fist.

UNCLE SANS NEW NAVY.

the Worlds Navies, But VIII

Since 1898 a fleet of battleships,
cruisers and torpedo boats, stronger
than the two fleets that conquered the
ships of Spain, has been added to the
American navy. The new fleet con-
tains 10 battleships, six armored
cruisers, three semi-armored cruisers,
six protected crul@> RS, four monitors,

stroyers and seven submarine boats

battleships, 10 destroyers. % torpedo
boats and four submarines" have
been completed, and many of the other
vessels will be finished this year, says
Success. On paper, the American navy
will continue to rank fourth among
the worlds navies; but in reality, it
will be third, possibly second, for it
is well known among well informed
naval officers that neither France nor
Russia has the navy it claims. Andrew
Carnegie thinks that we could sink
every one of our ships, and then defy
the world; because, in case of war
against us we could put an embargo on
our food-stuffs, and starye any Euro
pean power into submission. But we
shall not discontinue building ships on
any such assumption as that. Ger

ton is often asked by the men at the

that all shall take the pledge. 1t is also
well to state that all non-pensioners can
join the order without the payment OF
dues. The Union Is thriving beyond all
expectations under the auspices OF the

is due them, as well as the grand workers

elsewhere. An invoice of 1890 flags for
decorative purposes has already been
received, and for some days past a
large force OF men has been at work in
the cemetery. Many of the stones have
been reset and all of the mounds have
been levelled and the surface raked and
smoothed and seed sown so that next
season it will be a vast undulating
green lawn, thickly sprinkled with
white headstones.
The Memorial day exercises will be
much the same as last year: Decoration

The Maria Clark School BUILDING.

The special committee which was ap-
pointed by the city government of
1901, have received two sets Of plans
for the new proposed Maria Clark
Grammar school building, and each set
calls for five school rooms. One set
groups three rooms on the lower floor
lighted from the west, the remaining
rooms being above. A second set de-
votes the lower floor to two larger
rooms with ample entrances and ante
ROOMS, and provides for three rooms
above. The present site of the Mann
school is given preference for the site
of the proposed building, with the pos
sible addition Of the Spaulding lot ad-
joining on the West. 1t is thought that
the location is quite as central as any
that appears available, although there
would be limited space for play
ground uses.

1t is said that Hallowell has been de-

when the elate Gov. Bodwell was mayor
of the city. a schooner came into port
flying the red flag, and before the City
authorities were aware of the facts the
stricken man was bundled ashore for
care and treatment. He was cared for
in Il pest house situated near the city
farm, and recovered, but on going to
Boston some time later, died after a
short illness. The expense attending
the epidemic of that time figured more
than $1,000, although but very few
cases appeared.
