NEWPORT. r. /, Dec. I3.-There is
talk Of an Army and Navy Club in this
city TO furnish a home for the many
service men who are in Newport from
time to time. The very idea OF the
non-commissioned officers Of the army,
and the chief petty officers aspiring to
have a club house would have been
considered presumptUOus only a few
years ago. During the summer months
there are many naval men who are
well able to pay for the necessary cost
Of such club, and would be more

Made the Most of His Hats.

When Lord Miner held his first re.
ception at Pretoria the officers and
legislators were given to understand
that frock coats and tall hats were ex.
pected of them. There was only one
shop In the place in which silk hats
were sold, and this had but four of
them. The Transvaal legislators rush
ed off in a body to buy these four, but
the halter, not being mad, saw his
opportunity in their extremity. He
knew there was no. time to get hats
from anywhere else, so he resolved not
to sell. He offered to let them out on
hire at the rate of 10 shillings for ten
minutes. His shop was close at hand
Four gentlemen could present them
selves before his excellency. After ten
minutes they must silently steal away
and hand over their hired finery to an
other painting quartet. 1t was done,
and the halter still repeats dreamily as
he recalls the moment of his life, I'll
would not have been fair to have sold
them, not fair to my customers and
not fair to myself."-Pall Mall Ga.

II Is fair to assume that the strain on
a weak heart might fairly be held re-
sponsible. In view of the fierce COM
petition In life and the undue strain to
which the masses OF men are subjected
1t Is Of the highest importance that
people known to be affected with heart
disease should exercise the greatest
care as to overtaxing their physical
strength in view of the danger of sud-
den death, instances Of which are SO
common today. Inasmuch as few peo-
pie are aware Of having weak hearts,
safe rule for all men over forty Is to
avoid the perils of haste and undue
strain. as in lifting, rushing, etc. An
other important factor, many people

JENNIE SAVED THE TRAIN.
And She Was Glad She Did Not Go
20 the Fair.

ny Sydney Merryheid, Aged IS.
= Mother, can't go to with the girls
mis- afternoon? There's to be an ex-
'cursion to the Millgrove fair, and all
the girls are going together. They'll
have . fine time. Can't go, mother?"
Such was the exclamation that 13-
iyear-old Jennie Creek addressed to her
mother one September morning. She
lived with her parents on little farm
In Indiana, SO 1t was only natural that
she had not attended many merrymak-
dngs such as the Millgrove county fair
promised to be. Her parents had
never been wealthy, but this year in
particular things had gone badly with
Them The corn crop had failed and,
although they were not reduced to
actual poverty, they had to deny them
selves many Of the pleasures they
would otherwise have enjoyed.
Her mother hesitated, drew a deep
Sigh, and said, slowly: I'm afraid,
Jennie. cannot let you go. Father
just made payment on the house yes
terday, and / haven't the money to
spare. I'm sorry, but I'd let you go
If we could afford it."
Mrs. Creeks voice was kindly sym
pathetic but weary, and her face bore
traces of sorrow and care. Jennie
bifnked hard to keep back the tears
that threatened to come, but she un-
derstood and tried to be brave.
That afternoon she went out in the
woods near her fathers home, but she
did not spend a very pleasant after
noon all by herself and, try as she
might, she could not forget her dis
appointment of the morning. 1t was
getting rather dark when she started

Who said: BE sure you are right,

choly as a battle won?" Who said:
'I make war on the living. not on the

me die in my old American uniform in
which l have fought my battles. God

A MATCH TRICK.
How to Form Three Squares with Four
Whole and Four Half Matches.

This match trick, although simple
when you know how to do it, is not as
easy as it appears, and is rather In
genious. The problem is to form three
squares with four whole matches and
four half matches, using all of them,
and not letting them overlap.
The result is arrived at by making
two X-shaped crosses which touch
one another with the whole matches,
and completing a square at each end
with the halves.
The whole trick sounds simple, but

An instance Of the careless, good ma
tured philosophy of the negro may be
seen in the little doggerel verse laugh
ingly sung by black farmer when at
the end Of bad crop year nothing
was coming to him after his supply
bills were paid. He could neither read
nor write; he had no money or chance
Of getting any for another twelve
month, yet apparently there was no
fretting on his part. He took the bal
ance sheet, which was an utter mys-
terry to him, and, pretending to inspect
1t and following the rows of figures
with eye and finger, he gleefully chant
ed:
''Aught's an aught,
Figger's a fgger.
Ev'ything fur de white man
An muffin fur de nigger!
Then carelessly he stuffed the bit Of
paper into his pocket, "cut the pigeons
wing" and finally walked away to all
appearances with q whimsical enjoy
ment OF the fact that his own penniless
condition corroborated the statement
of his song.-Chicago Record-Herald
