Bowed to Senator Hale.

Senator Hale is the autocrat of the
senate on naval matters, fact which
is thoroughly recognized at the navy
department. Last summer Secretary
Metcalf took a number of senators
and representatives, members of the
naval affairs committees of the two
houses, on an inspection" jaunt of
the West Indies. Mr.. Hale went
along. One day the Dolphin lay all day
at some port while Secretary Metcalf
spent the time ashore. The place
bored Mr.. Hale, and he remained
aboard the Dolphin. In the evening
Mr.. Metcalf returned, and when the
captain of the Dolphin asked for sail
ing orders, Mr.. Metcalf told him the
ship would remain in port that night.
Just at that moment Mr.. Hale came
on deck. How much longer will we
stay in this hole?" he asked Mr.. Met.
calf. II was just giving orders to sail
at once" replied Secretary Metcalf
Five minutes later the Dolphin was
pulling out as fast as her engines
would take her.

BOB RURpETTE's BEAR STORY.
Tale Recited by President Roosevelt
Around the Campfire.

president was enjoying the campfire

'Wah Bob Bu'dette a bah huntah?"
asked Guide Ennolds.
mot exactly the President an
swered. Bob was a much braver man
than bear hunter. He trailed bear
in his youth, but when he grew older
he became brave enough to follow the
lecture platform
The guides didn't know this last
named beast, but they smoked their
pipes in confidence of it's terrors.
"Bob's bear story needs Bob to tell
It," the president continued, "but he
isn't here, and I'll rattle around his

the bull made for him, and he bobbed
in and out as the bull shot back and

and the man in the tree yelled:

"The bull was dashing across the
hole with mad roars, and the man was

he heard the voice from the tree.

With 5,500,000 inhabitants Holland

Appreciation.

'They say Butterworth is going to
erect monument over the grave of
his wife's first husband"
can ordinary man would regard
that as waste of money, wouldn't
he?"
Perhaps, but you see he left
enough life insurance to make it pos
sible for Butterworth to get along
without working for the rest of his
life, and suppose he feels that he
ought in some way to publicly show
his appreciation"

Birds Teach Lazy Man a Lesson.

Go to the birds, thou sluggard, for
birds can and do work far harder
than human beings. A pair of house
martins, when nesting, will feed their
young ones in 20 seconds-that is
each bird, male and female, makes 90
journeys to and fro an hour, or about
1000 day. On each journey the
bird has the added work of catching
the insects. Even so tiny a bird as
the wren has been counted to make
ITO trips to and from it's nest within
43O minutes; and the prey carried
home consisted of larger, heavier and
harder to find insects than were
caught by the sparrows. Among them
were 20 good-sized caterpillars, ten
grasshoppers, seven spiders, II worms
and more than one fat chrysalis

AN ANALOGY.

A few years ago the people in charge
Of the law department of the West Viz

sion that It would be good thing fo@

have a change made in the order OF
things relative to admission Of candi-
