When HObs0n Was Released.

From Richard Harding Davis
History of the Spanish war: j"Hob-

slowly and stood so, looking up at
hObsun in absolute silence.
IL WAS one Of the most impressive
things one could imagine. No noise
nor glare nor shouted tribute could
have touched the meaning or the
depth Of feeling that there was in
that silence.
Hohson was the first officer | had
seen saluted in six days. Everyone
had been too busy to salute. When

men gave u yell and rushed waist
deep through the river, and stopped
the cavalcade while they mobbed
him, shaking both his hands and
crowding so close that his horse
could not move. 1t was the most
wonderful ride young man OF twen-
weight has ever undertaken, to ride
through the enemy's country guard
ed by your own countrymen. On
every side to hear cheers and approx.
al; at every step to learn that your
work was done, and well done; to
know the weary days In jail were
over: to feel the fresh air and see the
great mountain peaks and royal
palms bending benediction under a
soft blue sky.
"But best of all perhaps, was when
he rode through the twilight and
reached the coast and saw again in

cause they heard he was coming, be-
cause he was free.

MOTHER'S FRIEND

makes childbirth easy by preparing the
system for parturi,ion and thus shortening
labor. The painful ordeal is robbed of its
terrors, and the danger lcsSened to both
mother and child; the time of confinement
is shortened, the mother rested, and child
fully developed, strong and healthy.
Morning sickness, or nausea arising
from pregnancy, is prevented by its use.
AS pregnancy advances, the breasts en-
large, become swollen and hard. Long
before the child is born, they are prepar-
ing for the secretion OF milk. It's import
ant that they receive carly attention.
Mothers Friend softens the skin and
facilitates the secretion of Life Fluid.
undeveloped breasts, hard-caked shortly
after delivery, are the result of non

g@" -ek@1s11llll lg1l1Isl LIFE ON A TORPEDO BOAT.
The Men Have to Take Their Sleet and Food in "Catch as Catch
 Can" Fashion.

A man on torpedo boat has to catch his sleep "on the fy." and he becomes exceedingly expert, being young and adaptable, at making up the required amount of slumber in little mosaics of an hour now, half an hour then and ten minutes later on. He becomes accus- toned to drop into doze whenever a favorable minute arrives and he is not on duty, and to stay in that condition until sudden lurch of the boat shakes it out of him. Never at sea does he ex- pect to be able to turn in for a full nights sleep, says a writer in the Boston Globe.
 This difficulty of sleeping on a torpedo boat at sea is one of the principal req sons why the fleet of destroyers sent to Manila had an itinerary arranged for 1t which provided for 90 days spent in port and only 70 at sea. This 90 days of rest against 70 of active seagoing is calculat- ed to be about the limit of endurance of . picked crew on a torpedo boat. A de- stroyer, 1t must me remembered, is only a torpedo boat of larger growth. and not so much larger as to make any mate rial difference in the amount of discom- fort and strain put upon the crew, espe- cially where the theater of action Is the open ocean.
 A man who has had much service on . torpedo boat said to the writer:
 Ut is not only sleep with which you have to play catch as catch can on board a torpedo boat, but you have to play tag with your food as we'll. If there was anything like a sea on, we never used to think of sitting down to table, but took such food as we could get in one hand and ate it while we held on with the other.
 "A great part of the time cooking was next to impossible, and cold canned stuff, or what was left over of the stuff which had been cooked in port, had to suffice us, and we grabbed that as we could and when we could.
 "The cook always, or almost always, used to make coffee for us, though how he managed it was mystery, for, though he used to lash .he coffee pot to the top of the stove and toe down tue llu, IAe PltCHiAS dAu cA0 AoAAAn6 OA the boat in heavy seaway would sp1E Q large portion of the contents of the pot out through the spout.
 "Then cookey would put cork in the mouth of the spout, and when the boiling coffee generated steam enough the lid would blow off, or the cork would fly out. Altogether, 1t was only by the exercise of indefatigable energy and skill of the sort which ought to have been recognized in general orders that finally enough coffee would be manufac- tured to give each man cup"

THE SYRIAN BARBER BOWL.
\ Novelty in Tonsorial Utensils That
 Is Popular with Some New Workers.

"I have quite a number of novelties from my country" said the Syrian bar Der in Washington street, relates the New York Times "but keep them for my American customers. The Syrians want the latest Yankee notions. Of course, once in awhile an old mountain ger happens in who longs for the ancient customs, but he is only bird of pas sage-a maker of laces or peddler of saddlebags-going through the metrop- olis to some other city.

The stars down there have a way of seem. ing to hang out of the sky, like Q jewel placed high in the setting. The moon was full and the magic of her yellow beauty bewitched everything, enhancing the very shadows. There is an abandon about that spot that takes away the stiffness so often found in large, formal grounds, and, as you walk on and on, there seems to be no end to it, but it is as though all the world was a sumptuous gar den; and when you lift your eyes 10 the matchless night blues, k seems as If the very dome of Heav- sn had opened to charm yesy TistoA
