Joke On the Joker.

Young Waldorf Astor told in New
York a story illustrative of the
Astounding spirits of the English
guardsman.
There was young subaltern of
high BIRTH" he said, who had I'M
usually strong forearms and wrists.
He had the habit of slipping up be-
hind, selling mans coattails and
zipp-a quick, powerful jerk and the
coat would be split clean up to the
collar.
This joke had been played so often
that everybody knew it. At a coun-
try house we were both visiting 1 de-
cided to play a joke myself on the
strong-armed subaltern. Accordingly
one night in the smoke-room. 1 placed
myself before him and then 1 turned
my back temptingly. l knew he would
not be able to resist those coattails.
HE did not resist them. He seized
them in his vise-like hands and in a
jiffy the trim, shapely coat I was
wearing hung like a rag upon me, split
up the back in two halves.
1.-The subaltern, regarding his work,
laughed loud and long. When he was
fdone 1 said quietly:
"1 slipped up to your room a little
while ago and this is your coat that
l have on now.''

which has afforded the theme for
many novels of tales of the sea, is the
tale of the officers and seamen of the
little gunboat Wasp.
For over f1fty-two hours this frail
little craft was tossed and buffeted
about during the terrific storm which
swept along the eastern coast recent

With water pouring into the COM

seas breaking over them, pouring
down the matches and companionways,
until nearly six feet of water was be-

Turn of the Battle.
The tide of battle then changed in
favor of the sailors, and they worked
with redoubled energy. Gradually the
water in the fireroom was decreased
until after a few hours fires were
again started in the upper furnaces.
Not enough steam could be raised
to propel the ship and she still lay in
the trough of the sea at its mercy, al
though the danger had been somewhat
lessened by the gain on the water in
the hold.
The men were now allowed to rest,
the crew being placed in squads and
given one-half an hours sleep
By Monday noon the storm had
greatly abated, and the sails were set
fore and aft, while the mems ham,
mocks were spread in the rigging to
steady the ship.
In this manner the ship was able to
make about two knots an hour and

Chances Galore for the Boy.

The boy of to-day has little to fear
that the field is becoming overcrowd-
ed in our own country. 1t is just be-
ing opened 1t is for the young men
who are just beginning to think what
wonderful world this is, to study
well the achievements of the past and
to see in what manner they are to be
improved. Never did the world call
more loudly, more insistently, for
young men with force. energy and
purpose-young men trained to do
some one thing-.than to-day And
every year that cry grows louder,
more insistent. But the times de-
mand men of large, liberal. energetic

Lord odo RusseII's Reminder.

: Lord Odo Russell, while calling on
Prince Bismarck during the sitting of
the Berlin conference, asked him how
he managed to rid himself of that
class of importunate visitors whom he
could not we'll refuse to see but whose
room he found preferable to their
company
"Ohi" replied the chancellor, Il
have a very simple method; my wife
knows them pretty well, and when
she sees they are with me she general
ly contrives to come in and call me
aeay upon some pretext or another" 8
He had scarcely finished speaking
when the princess put her head in at
the door and said:
MY dear, you must come and take
your medicine; you ought to have had
it an hour ago."

Steward White was thrown against a
stanchion by the violent lurching OF
the vessel as a big wave struck her.
Two of his ribs were broken, but not
a man could be spared, and he val

None Would Give UP.
Many of the sailors were green
men, several of the apprentices of the
naval station composing the crew.
Many were very sick, but they contin-

With the fires out the cold water as
it struck the deck formed thin glare
of ice. Many of the men slipped and
fell and were only saved by grasping
handrails from being swept overheard
by the angry seas which swept the
