Lieut. H. Williams, who is in

ish-American war and declares the
one thing that was demonstrated by
the war was that the most effective
work can be done by small guns. This

fight off Santiago the execution was
done by the small cannon, the great,
much-advertised guns being entitled
to very little credit for the victory

didn't HIT" said the lieutenant. THE
turrets carrying those guns weigh 100
tons, the guns themselves weigh
thirty tons more That is SO great a
mass to move in aiming that it is diff

proper place. Then the large guns
can be fired only once in two minutes.

that Mrs. Benton's manner might
have caused.
Jack and 1 were old sweethearts
at Fort Smith. Lord, what larks we
used to have in the old days, after
school and coming home from choir
practice. I never thought of going
on the stage in those days, but talent
will not be suppressed-and here
am. 1t looks like fate, our meeting

believe I'll just drop down on you
folks for a months change. If the
old place is as slow as it used to be
it will make an elegant place to rest"
Benton looked beseechingly at his
wife, but she appeared oblivious, to
the fact that he was still on the face
of the globe-he hesitated a minute
and then, remembering the boy and
girl friendship, he glanced at his
wife and said defiantly:
I'VE should be awfully pleased to
have YOU
And Mrs Benton astonished him
by adding with suspicious friendli-
ness:
Yes, do come, we shall be per-
fectly delighted"
With more astuteness than her
husband would have given her credit
for, Mrs. B. had come to the con-
clusion that dose of an old sweet
heart-when she is as impossible as
Flora-is almost as good for a man
as an occasional dose of rheubarb.
Flora came-John Benton saw-but
Mrs. Benton conquered.
Forth from Flora's voluminous
baggage came gowns fearfully and
wonderfully constructed from mate
rails which might have just arrived
from an Indian bazaar. The hat with
the green feather was not a circum-
stance to the creations which crown
ed Flora's yellow pompadour when
she impersonated the heroine in some
glowing melodrama-and she wore
them all at Fort Smith.
On Sundays Mrs. Benton systemati-
cally manufactured excuses to remain
away from service, and John, who
liked to see women CARRIED as soberly
as Quakers, was compelled to stink
down the aisle in the wake of a pur-
pie gown and a green and purple yei-
vet Gainsborough hat
Four weeks went by and still Flora
showed 70 signs of en- early fitting
Mrs. Benton absolutely refused to
offer suggestions, so in a moment of
desperation Benton bethought him
self OF an old-time feud between his
mother and Flora, which dated back
to his and Floras schooldays- He
wired his mother at once, Need you
here. Immediately, do not fail me, "
and well did he know that the first
available train would bring the faith
full SOUL At dinner that day he casu-
| ally announced that he expected his
