WHERE OUR NAVY STANDS.

In tonnage, fourth; in battleships,
fifth: in armored cruisers, seventh; in
submarines, fifth; in torpedo-boat de-
stroyers, sixth. Rather a sorry show.
but figures will lie. For example, the
japanese are seventh, inferior to Great
Britain, France, Germany, the United
States, Italy and Russia (before the
cataclysm) in number of battleships;
and yet the japanese, who are also
well to the bottom of the list in tor
pedo boats and destroyers, are able to
give a very good account of themselves
on the sea, and in a sea fight. And in
two years the United States will have
twenty-five battleships instead of
twelve, and twelve great armored
cruisers instead of two.-Everybody' s

WANTED!

Oh, have you seen them anywhere?
Or know you where they hide?
The police are hunting high and low,
And i'll Will sure betide
These most elusive gentlemen,
If they themselves but show,
Perhaps you may have met with them
John Doe and Richard Roe.
What crimes are writ against their
names?
What have they done? you ask;
To mention what they haven't done.
Would be a harder task
From winebibbing to manslaughter,
They've seen the whole blamed show,
They're very hardened criminals,
John Doe and Richard Roe.
The twain are most ubiquitous,
They roam the wide world Ger,
They're known in Honolulu town.
Likewise in Baltimore:
Their names are in the public prints
From Broadway to Soho
They're most distinguished travellers,
John Doe and Richard Roe.
If you should run across the pair,
The fact to them don't show
That you have recognition made,
But to a policeman go;
The news of your discovery /
He'll hail with glee, I know,
And straightway clap the bracelets on
John Doe and Richard Roe.
