TUGS FLoATED KENTUCKY.
Battleship Released From Mud Bank
Off Lamberts Point.

NORFOLK, Va, October 9.-The battle
ship Kentucky. which stranded on a mud
bank alta Lamberts point yesterday morn
ing, was floated with the aid of ten or
twelve powerful tugs last night. The
vessel Is apparently uninjured and will
proceed to the navy yard in the morning.
Quantities Of ammunition and stores were
taken from the vessel during the day in
order to tighten 1t. The ship struck at
one high tide and was foated at the next.
The channel where the Kentucky
grounded Is narrow and many other ves-
sells have stranded on the very bank that
stopped that ship. There were other ves-
sells anchored in the river when the bat
tleship passed up, and in maneuvering to
avoid these the ships nose was stuck in
the bank.
The Kentuck arrived at the Norfolh
navy yard today In tow of the naval tugs

been offlcially reported to the Navy De-

grounding occurred while the Kentucky

Reason for the Ride.
No one seems to know why President
Roosevelt ordered test ride Here's the
reported reason: The President was
somewhere one day and he went for
ride. During the course Of the ride he
met a cavalry captain who hasn't any
name and asked him to 60 along. The
captain, honored went. but after a few
miles of stiff-legged road pounding he
quit. And the President went back and
made uncomplimentary illusions to cav
airy CAPTAINS who couldn't ride.
Why did the captain drop out? Well,
cavalry captains have to be careful how
they converse, 80 there's nothing official.
But it's reported that the said cavalry
captain was chided by his wife some time
after the incident in question, and she
went so far as to ask why"
II AM not horse-killer, my DEAR" the
cavalryman replied.
Goodness" his better half replied. as
that the reputation Of the Pr
And the conversation closed with q re-
quest that somebody please pass the
butter.
