the story for repetition it is given
here.
A preacher had hour sermon up

He talked an hour and a half upon
the major prophets. The congrega-

Whether our mind is a miniature
of the Great Mind of Nature, or God,
we cannot fully know. But the few
things we can compass may lead us to
worldly happiness even if they stop
there. 1t is better to hope than to
despair. 1t is better to trust than
to doubt. 1t is better to pray than
to feel self sufficient. 1t is better to

IMPORTANT TO NAVY YARD
New Entrance for Freight Cars Con-
templated to Facilitate Work
on Ships at Capital.

A matter of great importance to the
authorities of the Washington navy
yard is now receiving consideration at
the hands of the engineer commission
er az the district, the Pennsylvania
Railroad company and the bureau OF
yards and docks of the navy depart
ment, it is said. The matter In Ques.
ton is the proposed acquiring of GER
tain lands lying immediately east OF
the navy yard on the water front by
the government.
The necessity for the acquisition OF
this land has been shown by Capt. e.
c. H. Leutze, commandant Of the yard.
and the other naval officers of that es-
Establishment. It is to be used In con-
nection with the proposed change Of
route of the railroad tracks that enter
the yard now on the west side Of the
Enclosure.
Without these tracks. 1t is said. the
great and important work Of the naval
gum factory would be brought to q
standstill.
The change Of route IL made nee
sary because of the new railroad tun-
mel in southeast Washington and to
avoid having gHade crossing. which
| would be unlawful. II II therefore
contemplated to have the tracks that
enter the navy yard approach the yard
from point half way between Penn
| sylvania and Virginia avenues. to the
eastward of the yard, and proceed
thence along trestle along the banks
of the eastern branch of the Potomac
to the extreme southeastern corner of
the navy yard, where it Is proposed
to make the point of entry Of the rail-
road tracks.
| In order to carry out this arrange
ment it will be necessary. the naval
officers say, to procure by purchase
two waterfront lots, which are now
said to be held at $4,000 value by
their owners. 1t is proposed to secure
this territory by condemnation pro-
ceedings. The expense of extending
the tracks along the river front to the
yard and of constructing the trestle
will be borne by the railroad company,
it is said. 1t is believed that congress
will appropriate the amount necessary
for the change when the great and i'm
mediate necessities of the situation
are explained.
The proposed change of route will
also necessitate many changes in the
network of railroad tracks within the
navy yard, on which is operated Uncle
Sans little line of railroad cars and
dinky engines, which haul the big and
little guns and ordnance equipment
for his great and growing navy.

New York.-Within the space of
brief few days, Cupid has played more
pranks than the most romantic school
girl could ever conjure up In her
widest dreams!
He has brought together an Amer
lean mining engineer and a Grecian
countess at the mouth of a Mexican
mine. He has married off a rich
young fellow to the nurse who pulled
him through appendicitis. He has pre-
sided at midnight wedding at which
q dashing young naval officer and a
pretty chorus girl were the principals.
He has hired a special train so that
q New York milhonaire's son could
marry a Divorce in another state.
And last of all, but not least, he has
arranged a wedding on the high seas,
outside the international three-mile
limit, so that an impatient young cou-
pie wouldn't have to wait two weeks
for the banns to be published, thus
single-handed setting aside the stern
and implacable majesty of the British
common law.
1t has been left for Miss Alice
Whyte and NJ Hall Cowan to show
John Bull how love laughs at law
They just couldn't wait two weeks
longer, so they were married accord
ing to the rites of the Church of Eng
land far out at sea. That saved the
two weeks banns and made happy
two young persons very much in love,
says the World.
The two young people come from
Windsor, Ont. The young man
popped the question four years ago
and got his whispered yes" sweetest
word in the world. But they couldn t
be married then, for the fact that the
young man hadn't been graduated
from the University of Michigan and
hadn't established himself in bust
ness.

hours and half. The party drove at
once to the Lutheran church, where
they waited until a marriage license
was secured. Then the Rev. ]. s.
Learner tied the knot. Five minutes
later bride. bridegroom and wedding
guests were speeding back to Colo

health of the couple who had circum-

Cupid Behind the Scenes.
Up the bay several weeks ago came
Admiral Evans fleet and the big In.
diana, one of Uncle Sans crack bat
tleships. They cast anchor in the
North river, where Admiral Evans di.
rected, and soon officers and men
were ashore stretching their legs.
Now, some of those gay young fell
lows of the fleet hadn't seen a pretty
girl for so long. that they just ached
to go to some show. So what could be
better than THE Social Whirl' at the
Casino? No sooner said than done.
All hands took box and the one
closest to the stage CHANGED to be
Ensign Freeman Hall. paymaster. All
of a sudden Cupid took hand. En-
