splendid accuracy, unflinching courage
and answering loyalty of these stern,
Anglo-Saxon gunners the republic
might have been split in twain and the
Mississippi river be running into Cam
ada now In the kearsarge and the
Alabama fight l will admit that there
was only one Englishman at our guns
on the kearsarge, and that all the
gunners on the Alabama were from
the British gunnery training ship at
Gosport; but the captain of the Ala
bama, Semmes, said his gunners
couldn't hit the Kearsarge, and he al
ways believed that they missed it pur-
posely. They swore to die rather than
hit the old flag. The Manila flag is
really an international joke. The fact
is that Dewey and his fleet never saw
Manila for three weeks after the
Spanish fleet was sunk. Sergeant
Jones OF. the Charlestown Navy Yard
has told me the story time and again,
and it is worth telling once more.
When Dewey and his fleet were in
IonGkong waiting for coal and ammu-
milton, word came for him to proceed
to Manila ut once. He was dining
with the British admiral when the dis
patch came. This is simply awful"
said Dewey, II have neither coal,
ammunition nor crews, for my men
are ashore Dewey" said the grutf
old Briton; 'blood is thicker than wa
ter, and the reputation of Anglo Sax
ony is at stake. Get ready as quick
as you can and follow me. My fleet
will sail tonight, go to Manila, sink
the Spaniards and cable Washington
in your name. You can do the rest.
Let Inc have a couple of flags for a

simply got up to keep the Dutch from

old mother country, she has always
been true to us in spite of ourselves.
The British legend, sir has become
robust history, and our gratitude

"When Have Time"
when 1 have time so many things I'll
To make life happier and more fair
For those whose lives are crowded
now with care;
I'll help to lift them from their low
despair
When I have time!

Shall know no more these weary

I'll lead her feet in pleasant paths

And cheer her heart with words of
sweetest praise
When l have time!"
When you have time the friend you
hold so dear
May be beyond the reach of all
your sweet intent;
May never know that you so kindly
meant
To fill her life with sweet content
When you have time!
Now is the time! All, friend, no long

To scatter loving smiles and words
of cheer

so dear;

Sonnet, My Friend.

My strange, familiar, shadowy, dark
or bright,
Silent companion, shall 1 call thee
Friend?
When Love is kind and youth yearns
to the light, ~
Thou whisperest death and fear and
unknown end.
Grief and fatigue appears; then thou
are kind
And thou dost WOO me to thy friend
ly arms;
Gods love and tenderness in thee
find,
And on thy breast the end of vain
alarms.
An old, old tho't-Death is an old, old
theme,
Yet each heart finds it's meaning
ever new;-
Not earth and dark, but lying down
to dream
And wake to the Eternal and the
True.
Oh! Death, l love thee as no other
friend,
Constant and faithful to the weary

COLORs MOST BECOMING.

Not one woman in ten realizes the importance of ascertaining and mak ing a careful study of the one particu- lar color most becoming to her and of always having q touch of it introduced in some part of her attire.
 The auburn-h woman looks best in brown, shading into the tones of her hair, or in rich dark greens.
 The yellow-haired girl can wear red. The greens, too, are delightful on her; also certain yellows and black. Whit is less becoming. but she must be bril- liant in complexion or else most deli cate as to tints to wear grays and blues to advantage. Blues, particularly ths pale and cold blues, are best adapted to brunettes.
 The woman whose hair is dull brown and whose complexion and eyes lack brilliancy may still be most at tractive, but she should avoid bright hued or glittering hats. Dull browns neither yellowish nor reddish, should be selected. Avoid the satin straws Take the dull finish.

 Mr. Wade vas rather peculiar in his wGys. but was greatly respected by all who knew him. and his title of judge was acquired through his service as justice of the peace at Gilbert. He in sisted on keeping his valuables, at least his valuable papers, near at hand, and that fact furnished the opportunity for a villainous enterprise of which he was the victim some months ago and which was recorded in these columns at the time. Some miscreant took advantage of his absence and carried away the desk in his cabin which contained his valuable papers. including titles to scme mining property. If the papers were ever recovered the fact has not been given publicity.

The claim that Paine's Celery Com pound is the only honest medicine in the world for the cure of terrible neu

Nothing else has ever possessed anything like the power of Paine's Celery Compound to restore a healthy nervous tone to the
