Our Eastern Fleet.

We are sending n feet of torpedo
boats to the Philippines to ply in and
out among the islands, to fire off salutes
when congressional committees call
and to be on hand if Uncle Sam in
the guise Of opportunity knocks at the
door of China and is obliged to break
in and tell the sleeping inhabitants that
he has arrived
These torpedo boats, while not much
bigger than cup and saucer, are yeri-
table terrors. They can blow up a big
ship if it will stand still while they
are doing it, and in the humdrum
days of peace they are master hands
at running into mud banks.
1t is a pity. though. that the officers
are so dignified that we cannot make
the fullest use Of them, for the boats
could make a noble fight on the mos
quitoes of the island province if they
would just dodge up the rivers and
catching these monsters unawares
throw dynamite shells into their midst

Nice People.

The people that we meet in books
Are clever. kind and sweet;
The men are brave and stout Of heart.
The ladies fit to eat.
Unless they are the other kind,
The villains dark and deep,
Who hatch up plots and work them
out
While other people sleep.
They have no cares about the rent
Or anything like that;
The ladies never have to beg
Their husbands for a hat;
They hire cab or take the train
And go most anywhere
And never stop to think about
A vulgar thing like fare.
They live IN some fine mansion or
A cottage by the sea;
Their visitors can stay a week,
And everything is free;
They have a gardener and a maid,
A coachrnan and a man,
And all Of their arrangements run
On some self working plan.
No bill collector comes around
To mar lifes placid flow;
No landlord says the rent is due
And they must pay or go;
For panics. boycotts. lockouts, strikes,
They do not care a rap
In fact, in every way their lives
Are what you'd call a snap

Women and Water.

IF nervous women would only drink
more water they would not be SO nerv-
ous,' remarked a trained nurse the
other day. Nearly every physician
will recommend a woman who is suf-
fering from nervous prostration or
nervous exhaustion to drink lots of
water between meals, but many wo-
men who do not come under a doctor 5
care would feel better and look better
if they would drink say a quart of
water in the course of the day" says
Home Chat Water is a nerve food
1t has distinctly soothing effect when
slipped gradually, as one can test for
herself"

IEunor 0ua Philosophy
BY DUNCAN N. SMITH
PERT PARAGRAPHS.

An aristocrat would never do for an
express messenger. for he couldn't be-
come a common carrier.
Graft. like beauty, is only skin deep.
The wine of youth is too apt to de-
generate into the vinegar Of age.
A smooth man is one who doesn't
get ruhied when you rub him the
wrong way.
A woman who is only happy when
she is miserable is a fine thing to have
about the house when you are nor
there.
a ring has no end. and if it is bought
on the installment plan the paying for
it has no end either
When a man has to carve a turkey
before company it is seldom that he is
enough of philosopher TO be thankful
tina he has a turkey to carve.
A woman's no" means yes only
when she says it to the right man.
When a man is in love and working
at it he doesn't take kindly to the
eight hour day idea.
