PRIzE MONEY AID pRAYER.
Curious Anecdote Of a Naval Reserve
Man in Cuban War.

Nan IN Cuban War.
In the Spanisl wan, as i'm the civ
il war, there was aD incentive for
chose of the navy 10 capture the
enemy's property beyond the fact
that it would weaken their power.
Prize money was that incentive,
and, despite the fact that the sail
ors' share was very small as com.
pared with that which the officers
received, the men in blue shirts
and widespread trousers craved
for the capture of the enemy's
ships for whatever was in them
with great eagerness. The meth
cd of distribution of the prize
money, says the New York Trib-
une, was described in this cynical
manner by one of the men,: "The
proceeds from the sale of the prize
vessel and her cargo, or the value
of the vessel if destroyed, after de
Quoting 30 per cent. as the govern
ment's share for the navy pension
fund, are thrown through a lad
der, and all that goes between the
rungs is divided among the of.
fcers, and that which hangs to the
rungs is distributed among the
sailors"
This anecdOte is told of one of
the naval reserve men on one oil
the vessels in the Cuban fleet iusd
when it was expected to engage in|
battle with Cervera's fleet. The
young man was on his knees in tho
attitude of prayer, when one of
the officers came up and asked him
if he was afraid.
mo, | was praying" came from
the sailors lips.
"Well, what were you praying
for?" demanded the officer.
praying that the enemy's
shells may be distributed after
the same manner that the prize
money is, principally among the
! officers"

THE R OF GIFTS
Generosity Seems to Be a Prominent
Sign Of the Times.

oAsu VI INC AAAsG
If the making and receiving Of
gifts contributes vitality TO the joy
of existence, the children of the
twentieth century have reason to
congratulate themselves upon
their good fortune. In no way has
the increasing luxury of American
life revealed itself more widely
than in this, SAYS Youths Com
p%aniOn.
Our grandmothers could often
count upon their ten fingers the
gifts of their childhood. The av1
erage American babyOfanyexcept
the poorest families probably re-
ceives more gifts from admiring
relatives in the first year of his
life than his great-grandmOtheE
received in her first twenty. For
in her day, except for the occasion
al rare treasure bestowed by some
especial kindness of fortune, there
was but one kind of gift-making
and receiving, and that the we'd
ding day, when the friends and
relatives brought their simple
presents of household goods and
plenishings and provisions to help
furnish their new home.
Now the bride that is to be does
not have to wait till her wedding
day for visible assurances of the
affections of her friends. The an
nOuncement of her engagement
brings her d multitude of dainty
gifts, and every anniversary re-
peats them. Even before these,
there have been the delightful It's
sue-papered mysteries of birth
days and Christmas and New
Years and st. Valentines day and
Easter, and once or twice the ex-
element of commencement, with
its flowers and boxes, and frequent
presents from visiting friends re-
turning from journeys.
We live truly in an era of gifts.
Is the child-or grown-up child,
for that matter-greatly the hap
pier for all these gifts? Probably
not, and for two reasons. One is
the grave old law of compensa-
ton, so often the leyeler of I'M
equal fortunes. A gift cannot
mean so much to one who receives
a hundred as it did to one who
cherished his solitary treasure.
The other reason is that the
great gift of all to any life, no mat
ter how few or how many the
years it counts, is love. The chile
who has that can easily spare ma
terial wealth.
There is, nevertheless, one side
to this matter of giving. If lux
ury in living is increasing ever,
day, as it seems to be, it is surel,
a pleasant thing that one phase o
it is the deyising of new and grace
full ways of showing our sympath,
with our friends in everything
whether JOY or sorrow, thattouch
