Adventures Of a Gunboat.

A curious n interesting bit of
naval history ends with the sale of the
old United States gunboat M~onocacy,
on the Asiatic station. The vessel, a
side-wheel "double-ender,' was sent
to eastern waters in 1865 because of
her light draft. With her four big
smoothbores and two rifed muzzle-
leaders she did great service, in the
war on Corean pirates in 1871. The
next year she stuck fast in the mud of
the Yangtse river, and remained there
20 years. Then in 1900, during the
Boxer outbreak, she a hauled out
and reftted, and although an object
of amusement to foreign naval officers,
again proved her worth; for her light
draft enabled her to do work impossi-
BILE to the foreign feet. Monocacy is a
title which should not be forgotten.
It ought to descend to ason, or rather,

Her position as a station agent is

Mrs. Gumprecht has inaugurated a

orally understood in the community
that the agent is to be obeyed. She
keeps a watchful eye out, too, for
children, and never allows them to play
about the station or the tracks. Her

Unlike many widows, Mrs. Gum
precht did not get her position by be-
coming the successor of her husband
in the place, but was led to apply for

male agent, disgruntled, was about to
