1t did, indeed. Rubbing his eyes in
an effort to understand, he tore open
the envelope and was astonished to
find a sheet of letter paper, with a large
needle of the sort men always choose
when emergency compels them to sew
thrust through it and a foot of black
thread doubled and trailing in a loose
tangle down the page.
The best man thought it was a joke,
but he could not see it, and he was
about to become ~resentful when, upon
turning the sheet, he found this hastily
written note:
Dear Brother-Mother says there Is a
button off your dress coat. 1t is in your
waistcoat, right hand pocket. Sew it on.
Crawling out of bed, the best man ex-
amined his coat and laughed to see that
the situation had been accurately de-
scribed in the letter. Just like moth
err" he said. "She has probably lost a
whole nights sleep thinking about that
button"
Later in the day four bridesmaids
gleefully assisted in making the repairs,
and this telegram went to mother:
Button sewed on. Don't worry.

KEEPING A LOGBOOK.
The System of Authorizations Used on
Merchant Vessels.


How many landsmen know how a
logbook is written up? 1t seems just as
complicated as double entry bookkeep-
ing when one does not know, but after
q little careful attention and study it's
as easy to keep a logbook as to eat hot
gingerbread. There is a list of letters
arranged, and they look like SO much
Greek to the uneducated.
The letter b, for instance, stands for
blue sky, whether there be clear or
hazy atmosphere. G means cloudy or
detached, opening clouds; d denotes
drizzling rain; a small ], fog; capital F,
thick fog; G, gloomy, dark weather; b,
hail; !, lightning, and m, misty or hazy
so as to interfere with the view.
The letter 0 represents overcast or
when the whole sky is covered with one
impenetrable cloud. Passing showers
are noted by the letter p, and q indi-
Gates the weather TO be squally. Con-
tinuous rain is indicated by an r, snow
by an S and thunder by a t. Any ugly,
threatening appearance in the weather
calls for the letter u, and visibility of
ulStduI ODJeClS, WuetHeF Tue SKY De
cloudy or not, is represented by the let
ter V. A small W is wet dew. A full
point or dot under any letter denotes
an extraordinary degree. AS an exam
pie of how the letters are used take
q p d ! t.. This reads very hard squalls
and showers of drizzle, accompanied by
lightning, with very heavy thunder.
Numerals denote the force of the wind.
A cipher indicates calm, 1 light air. 2
light breeze, 3 gentle breeze, 4 moder-
ate breeze, 5 fresh breeze, 6 strong
breeze, 7 moderate gale, s fresh gale,
. strong gale, 10 whole gale, II storm,
- hurricane. This system Of abbreyi-
ation is generally adhered to on all
merchant vessels.

RED CLOUD Is DYING.
Famous Sioux Chief Passing Away at
Pine Ridge,

special to the New York World from
Pine Ridge, Indian agency, s. D.. says
Old, decrepit, blind and penniless, Red
Cloud, chief Of the Sioux, lies dying in his
little tent at his home. one mile from this
agency. Formerly the greatest of all In
dian chieftains, Red Clouds glory has de-
parted. and he lies. a broken reed de-
pendent on charity almost for his daily
bread. White physicians have given UP
the hope Of saving the old sachem's life
and state that dissolution may come at any
hour. surely within a few weeks at the
most. The medicine men still hold daily
''powwows'' over their dying chief, and
make good medicine in his behalf.
Red Cloud, like so many of the nations
great men, was born in obscurity, and by
sheer force of will, bravery and inteli-
gence rose, step by step. to be the chief of
the greatest, most warlike and most saw
age tribe Of American Indians. In his
thirty years war with the whites, from
1845 to 1876 Red Cloud became known us
the fercest and boldest of the Sioux lead
ers, and it was in those years that he
gradually worked his way forward until
he was recognised as the big chief OF all
Sioux bands and tribes.

Has Been Most Remarkable for One So

Lieut. Crispulo Patajo Of the Philippine
Scouts, who has been ordered to this coun-

lege at Fort Leayenworth, Kan, has q
most remarkable record for so young an
officer -,---..........
He was the professional spy Of the gov
eminent in many parts Of the Philippines
where organized gangs of murderers and
secret societies of traitorous purpose throve
without much hindrance until he began to
work He rendered especially good service
in the provinces of Union, Ilocos, Sur Abra.
Batangas and Tayabas. He was known
and officially characterized by the insur-
rectos as ''the terrible Americanista" in
proclamations offering money for his head.
He ran down the notorious bandit Lanes
and secured evidence sufficient to hang this
chief. his assistant and eight of the worst
members of his murderous gang. In Vfgan
he was the means Of ferreting out about
conviction about thirty. In Abra he pur-
sued and captured Angeles, and at Santa
Cruz he succeeded in enlisting the service
and assistance Of all the Igorrotes In the
mountains so as to be able to surround tho
entire hill where the insurrecto band were
camped At Naguilion in two weeks he
captured forty-five insurgents. twelve guns
and ammunition, and discovered that tho
officials in the neighborhood were acting as
spies for the insurrection. His detail to the
Leavenworth college was made on the
urgent recommendation of Gen. Young and
Gen. Bell.
