JOHN O'BRIEN
HAS BIRTHDAY

John O'Brien, the eight-year-old
son of Judge and Mrs. j. P. O'Brien,
was given a birthday party in his
honor at the home of his parents last
evening. Quite a number of the
young mans friends were present to
congratulate him and all had de-
lightfuI time. The Chesterfieldan
manners of young O'Brien won for
him the admiration of all. Light re-
freshments were served, various
games INDUCED in dear to the little
ones hearts, and all went away
wishing him many happy returns of
the day.

Doe. q Vacation Pays

What a difference there is in what
two people bring home from vaca-
toni One comes back tired, disguised,
bored. He has spent his money and
doesn't feel that he has much Of any
thing In return. Another comes back
all radiant with the riches which he
has drunk In and absorbed during ev-
cry moment Of his vacation. He comes
back rejuvenated, refreshed, inspired,
new creature, with q new grip upon
life. The cobwebs, the brain ashes
have been swept away from his jaded
brain. He has been made over anew.
Life means more than ever before.
His dimmed ideals have been brighten
ed and sharpened, his ambition renew
ed. Ask him If a vacation pays, and
he will ask you, in turn. if 1t pays the
grub to throw off its ugly shape and
blossom out into a butterfly; If it pays
a rosebud to open up its petals and
fling out its fragrance and beauty to
the world.
When you go into the country, make
up your mind that you are going into
Gods great gallery Of charm and beau
ty to enjoy yourself and to see what
you can get out Of it. Resolve that you
will come home laden with riches that
no money can buy; that you are going
to extract from the landscape-from
the mountains, the valleys, the fields
and the meadows-a wealth which does
not inhere in the dollar.
Learn to drink in beauty and health
at every pore. Try to realize that the
flowers, the grass, the trees, the brooks
the hills-the charm and beauty every.
where-are Gods smiles; that they are
for him only who can appreciate them
who can respond to them. who can ap
propriate their message. They cannot
be bought; they belong only to him who
can enjoy them.-Success Magazine.

THE NAVY'S NEW

Tremendous sums are annually ex-
pended in target practice by the navy
OF this nation. The ultimate end
sought for in this sedulOus training

ing Of An ability to hit the enemy first,
to hit rapidly and to hit hard
1t is now realized that the sea
fights of the future will open at ex-
tremely long ranges, say, five or six
miles. 1.-THE feet that first gets the

recent interview, land Is best handled

doubleday do such damage in the first
ten minutes as practically to disable

All other fittings being equal, the in
itial advantage would therefore appear
to be the deciding one. The gaining Of
this advantage is now almost wholly
dependent upon the observers station
ed IN the tops, the clear-eyed, cool
headed men who from their point Of
vantage determine the range, and, by

mind, the reader can clearly compre-
bend the vast Importance of an observ-
Ing station sufficiently elevated for the
range finders to execute their mission
with precision and CELEBRITY, and, more
important still, station that can re-
main longest erect under the stress of
battle.
In recent notable test which was
conducted BY the British Admiralty it
was found that the ordinary cylindri-
cal steel mast with which all battle
ships are now fitted is wholly insult
ed for this purpose. The Hero, an OBJ

This brought naval administrations
face to face with new conditions The
need Of some method Of carrying range
finders high in air had been noted In
the battle of the Tsushima Straits,
where the initial advantage had been
gained by the Japanese, who had con-
centrated their fire upon the Souva-
rolf, Rojestvensky's flagship. Accord
ing to Semenoff, Russian officer on
board the flagship, the mast of that
vessel was shot away almost at the
beginning of the action. This not only
interrupted all further efforts on the
part Of that vessel to get the range OF
her antagonists from her fighting tops
but it also interfered with the display
# signals.
| The need Of some new method indi
Gated by that battle was accentuated
and made urgent by the test to which
the Hero was subjected. Some of oul
own very alert and progressive navy
officers at once set about solving the
problem. The result is the test Il
which the monitor Florida was sub
jected a few days ago. The Arkansas
a sister ship, was selected to do thu
firing.
The Florida is one Of the new typ,
Of single-turret monitors. For the pur
poses Of the test she was towed to tn

shots, after passing through the Flo

at q range Of about $50 yards with

5000 yards with a full charge of pow

"He said it was paralytic stroke--N
very bad one--and ordered him to be put

my father was reading?"

She drew from her pocket letter,
which she placed in Walters hands. Lilo
read it hastily, and it confirmed his sus-
picions. 1t was from lawyer MI. Con-
rad had asked to make inquiries respect
ing the Great Metropolitan Mining Com
pany, and was as follows,
civilian Conrad, ESQ.,:
| Dear Sir-I have, at your request,
taken pains to inform myself of the pres
emit management and condition OF the
Great Metropolitan Mining Company.
| The task has been less difficult than
anticipated, since the failure of the conf
pany has just been made public. The
management has been in the hands OF dis
honest and INSCRIPTIONS men, and 1t is
doubtful whether the stockholders will be
able to recover anything.
ANDREW HOLMES"
Walter folded up the letter, and put 1t
into his pocket. He felt that this letter
had cost his father his life, and in the
midst of his grief he had very bitter
thoughts about the INSCRIPTIONS man who
had led his father to ruin. Had 1t been
merely the loss of property, he could
have forgiven him, but he had been de-
prived of the kindest and most indulgent
of fathers.
II should like to see my father" he
said.
An hour later he came out Of the death
chamber, pale but composed. He seemed
older and more thoughtful than when he
entered. A great and sudden sorrow often
has this effect upon the young.
