An International :. Incident .:.

A HOLIDAY celebration that will
 N long be remembered in the H American navy is the Santa
 Claus dinner" given in the wardroom of one of Uncle Sam's gunboats of the Venezuelan coast. The plan had been to have the affair on Christmas night, but as the vessel was then at sea the event was post poned until New Years. It was on this occasion that an Italian battle ship commander, with warlike inten- tions toward the United States and all their inhabitants, was beguiled into peaceful thoughts by good American punch, which the American officers dealt out to him in such quantities that he finally said he would like to settle in the western hemisphere
 It happened that the Italians man. of-war and the Yankee gunboat arriv- ed in southern waters at about the same time. There was the usual inter change of courtesies. Then occurred the incident that aroused the Italian captains ire. A South American news paper printed a cartoon representing him as being blown out of the water by the United States gunboat. In this, of course, there was no sense what ever, as Italy and this country were on the friendliest terms. but the for eign skipper, being both excitable and suspicious, took the matter to heart. The Americans heard that he even ac- cused them of inspiring the cartoon and that he had complained to his home government.
 New Years day came due while the gossip was at its height. For weeks the wardroom officers of the gunboat had been making preparations for q grand feast. They decided at the last minute to invite the Italian and his staff as guests of honor.
 A refusal. of course, was out of the question. but when the guests arrived their attitude was cold and distant, es- pecially that of the captain, who look ed as though he expected to be thrown into irons. It was said afterward that he had ordered his vessel to be ready for immediate action in case of treach- cry. At any rate. he sat down at din her without a smile for his hosts. and for awhile things looked gloomy.
 Gradually. however, the younger off cers of the gunboat succeeded in fore

ing the visitors to partake of the punch. and with each glass the suspicious cap- tain grew less suspicious In an hour he was affable. In another hour he was affectionate. By the time the real celebration began, while the coffee was being served he had forgotten the car toon and was drinking healths to the stars and stripes every thirty seconds. When the ceremonies, which had been carefully arranged, had been in prog ress a few minutes he was proposing a joint expedition by his and the gun boats crews against the Venezuelan capital.
 Even if the incident of the Italians conversion had been lacking the dinner would have been an affair to be remem- bered. The first part of the closing eel ebration was the appearance of Christmas tree, which of course should have been called New Years tree. It was a big tree, too, one that anybody might have envied, and the tars had made trip ten miles inland to get it on the previous day. AS it was borne into the wardroom 1t reached up into the dome-like window at the top. For this window, forming a sort of tower space to the wardroom, naval men have a technical name, but no landlub- Der could hope to get 1t right. so let 1t be called simply a window. The tree went all the way up, and from every branch there hung gifts for the merry diners.
 Just as the New Years tree was fas- tened into it's place on the center of the table there appeared through the high window real Santa Claus, with beard and furs and red coat of approved cut Down the chimney-like opening he crawled, finally leaping upon the ta- ble with such force that half a dozen glasses went crashing to the floor. Amid the appaluse of the now hilari- ous party he proceeded to award the presents, calling each name in a gruff voice from beneath his white whiskers When he came to the Italian captain he addressed him as Your most pow erful excellency Signor Captain @," by which high sounding appellation the signor captain was so fattered that he bowed until his forehead bumped into what was left of a saucer of ice cream.-New York Times.

A teacher in certain Episcopal Sunday school had been impressing on her girls the need of making some per sonal sacrifice during lent. According ly, on the first Sunday of that peniten- tial season, which happened to be a warm spring day she took occasion to ask each of the class in turn, what she had given up forthe sake of her relig- ion. Everything went we'll, and the answers were proving highly satisfact- ory, until she came to the youngest member, "Well, Mary" inquired the teacher, "what have you left off for Lent?" "Please, ma'amI" stammered the child, somewhat confused, "I-pve Left off my leggings."
