FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
What Uncle Sam Does With the Boys
Who Enter His Navy.

The first question that Uncle Sam
asks of a boy who applies to enter
the navy is, ''Do you yourself want
to enlist? ?" because Uncle Sam does
not want boys who themselves do
not want to serve him on shipboard.
Nor does he take boys for the navy
to reform them. There was a time
when the navy ma !e good home
for incorrigible boys, but it is not
so now. This is not the kind Of d
boy the navy wants and needs. Boys
between the ages Of fifteen and scv-
enteen years can enlist for the nay
until they become of age. When
the apprentice is first received on
board ship he is furnished, free of
cost, with an outfit of clothing not
exceeding in value the sum of SD.
His first pay is SO a month. After
making his first cruise, if qualified
he is advanced to $15 a month. His
next advancement is to that Of first
class apprentice, with pay of $2l a
month.
Ex-apprentices are given prefer
ence in the selection of petty Off
GERS with pay ranging from $50 to
$40 per month and rations. Those
having a good record and showing
marked ability are eligible to APP
pointment as warrant officers, po-
sition varying in pay from $1,000 to
$1,000 per annum, with retirement
at the age of sixty-two years on
three-quarters pay for life. Warran.
officers not over thirty-liye years OF
age are eligible to appointment to
the rank Of commissioned officers
after having served six years as war
rant officers. Commissioned officers
are in line of appointment to all the
higher grades Of the navy service,
and thus it is that some apprentice
boy now may be our first admira,
some day. 1t is perfectly possible
for boy to start at the very bottoms
in the navy and rise to the topmo.l
notch by his own efforts and abili-
ties.-American Boy.

Wife SUES
FOR $4,000
Claims the Alienation Of Her Hus
bands AT ections Are Worth
That Amount. The Case Called
Yesterday at Parkersburg

ISSbSlN uy ~ "a SO0S
The case of Hattie L. Gordon
against Mate Yost, was called In
the United States court at Parkers-
burg, and the demurrer which had
been entered was overruled. The
case Is one which attracted a great
deal of attention In oil circles all
over the State, as the parties are
we'll known.
The suit was brought by Mrs.
Gordon, who charged that the de-
PENDANT alienated the affections OF
her husband. She sued for dam
ages In the sum of $4,000, the
suit being instituted about two
years ago.
1t will be remembered that the
children OF Gordon came here from
New York, their home, upon learn
ing that their father was located at
Sistersvills, although they believed
him dead for a number Of years.
Upon discovering that he really ex'
listed they returned to New York
with the news, and their mother,
Gordon'o wife, then came 10 West
Virginia aud instituted action
against the Yost woman on the
grounds named.
It seems that Gordon come to
Sistersville without letting his fam
i.y know of his whereabouts and
there met Mate Yost, who, at the
time, had a small amount OF oil
property. He managed her busi-
ness for her for number of years,
and the two became wealthy, Cor
don proving a successful manipu-
lator In the oil world. After he
had been there for a few years
whispers reached the children In
the metropolis as to where their
father was located. They came on
here, discovered that such was the
case, informed their mother of the
situation, and she, unlike the ma
iority of women, did not sue for d.
vorce, but for damages, for the
alienation of her husbands affec'
TONS.
The above appeared In the Wheel
Ing Telegraph but the Parkersburg
papers say the suit was dismissed
at the cost of Mrs. Gordon.

Natchez, Miss, June .-Doyle's
pitching yesterday is record for the
local diamond With two bases on
balls and two sacrifice hits, Natchez
had but twenty-seyen men really at
bat, and they got but three hits. When
batters connected the ball went
straight to a visitor, ten going out on
fly balls. Errors in the eighth took the
heart out of Breitenstein, who lost his
first game this season. Woodruff hit
homer, also scoring Howard, in the
sixth. A double and two triples added
two runs in this inning.
