by Nicaraguan soldiers and police. Da-

Commander Fullam's orders were
sharp and decisive:
ARREST the chief of police and the
policemen engaged in the assault, put
them in irons and send them aboard
ship; arrest the Nicaraguan officers
and men engaged in the assault and
hold them for orders"
It was thought possible that an at
soldiers and police captured by the
bluejackets, so men were landed from

additional men were landed from the
Marietta.
The Paducah moved to position
fronting the Nicaraguan cuartels,
while the Marietta covered the Guar

FuIIam is Energetic.
Commander Fullam, finding that the
civil authorities were incapable of
maintaining regulations or order; that
the government of Tegucigalna was a

leaders that so far gave no evidence OF
stability, decided to ignore the author

HARDLY A CORRECT COSTUME.
Dean Stanley Once Entered Palermo
Wearing a Nightshirt.

The voice of the church went forth
full early against the proposal that La
Milo should ride through the streets
of Coventry in raiment too closely
copying the birthday attire i'm which
the original Lady Godiva rode But
the church itself was once in danger
of being scandalized by one of its H.
lustrious members in what appeared
much the same way. The culprit was
none other than Dean Stanley who
was driving with a friend from Mon.
reale to Palermo. Both men were
reading. Stanley suddenly discov-
cred that he was shivering with a
cold. He mentioned the matter to his
friend. We'll, hadn't you better put
something on?" said the latter, point
ing to the deans bag, which was close
at hand. Stanley thought it rather a
good idea, and the friend went on
reading, AS they entered Palermo
there were shouts of astonishment
Stanley was placidly reading. His
friend found that the distinguished
churchman had absent-mindedly
drawn out a nightshirt from his bag,
and put 1t on over his other clothing,
and, thus arrayed, was riding tri-
umphantly into the city.

with coyote close to his heels, See
ing the man the coyote ran back and
the dog plucked courage to follow.
out of sight of his master he weak
ened and came back over the hill with
the coyote after him. This was re-
peated several times, TO the amuse-
ment of Mr.. Shockley, who offered
neither counsel nor assistance, mean
ing to see how the dog would figure it
ont. He had not long to wait The
dog sat down and seemed to think over
the situation, and then started for the
house on a keen run. He was back in
a very short time, accompanied by a
big dog whose reputation as coyote
fighter was established. The young
dog led the old one over the hill and
soon the coyote had disappeared.
