NEW NOSE AND
Young Man in the Navy Gains Ad-
vancement by Clever Sur
gical Operation.

No matter how straight a mar may
in ~seamanship, no matter what his
knowledge of torpedoes and such
things, there is no promotion for him
in the United States navy unless
well, unless he is good looking, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean. Uncle Sam
will not have petty officers, even, that
are not handsome chaps-fellows with
good faces under their caps.
And so it was that Frank Clancy,
five years in the service and n of
the cleverest lads on the torpedo boat
destroyer Lawrence, could not get a
step higher than the ranks. He
passed brilliantly in everything, but
to no purpose, for Frank had a nose
that was anything but an ornament.
1t was a hollow nose. with a big, up
turned end. which made him look as
if a scoop had been at work between
it and his eyes.
The young sailor was gr%ievously dis
appointed and mourned the physical
disability that deprived him of adj
vancement. In despair he sought a
face specialist, directing him to kill
or cure the offending member.
In 40 minutes Frank Clancy was
ready to take his place with the finest
looking on board Uncle Sans ships.
And now. thanks to science aiding ma
ture, he is an officer on the Lawrence.

THE MAKING OF A JUROR.
PUSHED German Gives the Judge q
Chance to Get Even with
Lawyers.

The Judge had his patience sorely
tried by lawyers who wished to talk.
and by men who tried to evade jury
service. Between hypothetical ques-
tions and excuses it seemed as if-they
never would get to the actual trial of
the case. relates the Green Bag. So
when the puzzled little German who
had been accepted by both sides
Jumped up the judge was e~xasperated.
"Shudge!" cried the German.
what is it?" demanded the judge.
81 tink l like to go home to my
wife, said the German.
You can't" retorted the judge "Sit
down"
But shudge," persisted the Ger
man, Il don't tink l make a good
shurer."
You're the best in the box" said
the judge. sit down"
What box?" said the German.
Jury box" said the judge.
ooh, | thought it vas a bad box that
peoples gets in sometimes"
mo-" said the judge, the bad box
is the prisoners box"
But, shudge," persisted the little
German, 81 don't speak good English"
you don't have to speak any at ALL"
said the judge. sit down.
The little German pointed at the
lawyers to make his last desperate
plea"
"Shudge," he said, 81 can't make
holdings of what these fellers say"
It was the judges chance to get
even for many annoyances.
Neither can anyone else" he said.
'Sit down"
With a sigh the little German sat
down.

QUINlNE AS A CIVlLIZER.
Valuable Aid to the First American
Troops in the Philippine
Islands.

In the outset of trying to establish

peared amongst the Moros the most fear
ful OF all diseases, the Asiatic cholera,
and Straightway it was charged upon us,
writes r. l.. Billiard, in Atlantic. The
white men were in league with the
Cholera Man, and had brought his devils
to destroy the Moros. My few friends
dropped away out of sight, whence they
had come. Proving bands, ever lone
Moros, beset the trails and camp, lying
in wait and attacking with fury and Bit
terness lone Sentinels and small parties.
4 single old datto, Alandug, stayed.
From his seacoast village he had looked
wider upon the world, and was wiser
than his fellows. | did not need to tel
him, for he easily saw for himself, our
mortal terror of the cholera whose cause
we called germs, he, devils. He did not,
however, understand why we were not
diving like the Noros. | showed him the
soldiers boiling their water, and told
him that before drinking we thus drove
the cholera forth from the water in
which it LIVED. To my surprise he never
hinched at the statement, he swallowed
it whole: this truth so hard of accept

lief with this savage. Long afterward !
knew why. 1t agreed with the Moro
religious theory that all diseases are but
devils that have slipped from the out
side into the body. Our theory and
theirs, so different, yet the same, proved
a first bond, something common be-
tween white man and brown. Alandug
told the other Moros what a just theory
the Americans had of the cholera, and
how the awful disease had killed but few
Americans. In a short time my friends
began to come back with him, bringing
all the il of human flesh for cure by
the advice of the white man, in whose
medical theories they had quickly &C.
quired confidence. ThenceforWard
