Secrets Of the Navy.

For q long time it has been source
OF great concern that European nayies
know as much about American war
ships under construction as we do our
selves. The attention of the navy de-
lartnent has now been directed to
the fact that the so-called confidential
plans, which have been guarded with
utmost caution, are accessible prac-
ucally to anyone who may choose 10
consult them at the return Office of
the interior department. Under the
law, copies Of all contracts, with full
designs, plans and specifications, must
be sent to that branch of the govern
ment. This, we are informed, is done
In all cases, no matter what the con-.
tract may call for, and regardless Of
the wishes or policy Of the naval adj
minlstration. 1t is an old law which
acquires this, and no one is able
to understand why there should be any
such requirement, unless it is to pre-
serve in one place duplicate Ut all
contracts. It serves a purpose to those
who wish to look at the contracts
and examine the plans and specif1ca-
tons, which are not accessible to
them elsewhere, and applications for
which would be promptly and properly
denied. This is the case with the war
ships, and especially with the sub
marines. The contracts for the latter
vessels are made with the stipulation
that the specifications and designs will
not at any time become public prop
erty, and that they will be held in the
etrictesL confidence by the navy ce-
partment. With all the machinery for
keeping Warship designs away from
the public, it seems ridiculous that
there should be depository where
they are accessible to all who may
take the trouble to go after them. 1t
Is possible that the inconsistency will
be corrected, so far as confidential IN
formation is concerned, by legislation
as soon as congress meets.

CHRISTMAS S

will;be here right on time this year ai- though it doesn't seem one year ago since we made so many people happy by presenting each purchaser of our nice tasting, fine quality Tea or Col- fee with a beautiful souvenir calendar. Of course we will do likewise this year. Watch for them next week. And, remember your Christmas square meaF will not be what 1t should pc II you do not have some nice tasting tea or coffee to drink and the kind we sell will fill the bill all right. You may also bear in mind that our tea and coffee not only tops off your Christ mas "square" but it helps out just the same on the other 364 days in the year and if you doubt us, all you have got to do is to buy some at our store ana pay the same price you pay the other fellow and see how much nicer the quality that we sell is. Say, last week a man told the writer of this ad that he 'swore off" drinking any 1ntoxi- cants on January 1, 1905, and has used only our tea and coffee in his house ever since and he says he has no de- sire to break out any more. He also says he thinks that it was the bad tasting tea and coffee that they used to buy elsewhere that sent him to drinking intoxicants but ever since they bought their drinks at our store he has no use for the other stuff and happiness and good health prevail.
 Remember you get bars of warrant ed good soap with each pound of our guaranteed nice tasting tea; crystal
 glass pickle dish with pound of our nice fresh roasted coffee (pure or mix ed) and a 14-qt bread raiser or well
 made sled with a pound of our Bak-
 ing Powder, 45 cents per pound, at

New-York tribune., 1905-05-28

soon to fade into the shadowy past In the evening
of the second day when the old man called for a
coal of fire, she brought it with the wire tongs made
for that purpose and he noticed that she had been
weeping But he said nothing until he had lighted
his pipe, and then he reached forth his hand and
stroked her hair as red as a sumaCh-leaf tinged
by the first frost.
All are YOU very sorry ! want your name to
remain as It when my Polly named you: You
don't remember her. That French painter coming
down the river in tatboat who painted all the grand
DANES caught her face fairly we'll but 1t was given
to none except the immortal artist to catch her
soul-and he took it away. Soul You could feel
ii coming before she entered the room and whenever
she went out she left 1t, like sort of twilight and
though she has been gone a long time l can see It
now when the clouds purple and hang low
where the sun goes down.
You are poetic this afternoon" said the girl,
twisting wisp of his gray hair about the wire tongS
This when, Afternoon! There never was any
afternoon down here, Polly, till a Yankee brought
It. We always said Morning and Evening. First
time l heard it-clock-peddler from Massachusetts.
He sold me that old clock in there, and aiterward
while talking to the gentry gathered about the
store down yonder he SAID: Well, good-atternoon
NOw-nOw mavbe YOU don't know how that sound
ed2 'Good-to-morrow. or 'Good-last-week would
have been no more strange to US. but we never
cracked a smile till Doc Horner snOrted. and then
we all laughed Pete Mayhew wallowed on the
ground-rolled into the gully and whooped. We
IOld the lellOW 10 come OaSh ana take any LING io
wanted, but he shook his head and lowed that
he rather take his own leave than anything we
could give him"
Times change" she sagely remarked twisting
his hair about the tOngs.
But virtues don't, he replied
She patted his head. old ones may not change:
but new virtues arise. 1t was thought that the
world was complete-and then America was dis
covered
Eth, wiseacre. what voters league you the
president OF. Hello who's that,
A young man entered at the gate. In his long
stride as he came up the brick walk there was
sort of cultivated awkwardness. He stopped tor
a moment TO stroke the shaggy hair OF an old dog
that waddIed up to sneeze at his legs, and then
