AMBITIONS WAY.
Country Reporters Newspaper In
stinct Wins Recognizition IN
New York.

\ cub reporter in a small city IN
the western part Of New 1yrk State
coveted position on t certain New
York paper. Somehow the chances Of
getting on that papers exclusive stan
seemed mighty few. But one day
his citv editor told ham to 60 down to
the railroad station. see Lord Charles
Beresford, who was to wait there
little time between trains. and get an
interview from him. The boy was
country bred. and Beresford was little
more than name to him. But he
had an hour to spare before he would
have to be at the depot. and that hour
was spent in a library reading Of the
fioht before Alexandria and Of revolE-
ing guns in the Sudan.
When he reached Beresiord at the
railroad depot he found the rear ad-
miral very gracious and obhging and
ready to fill him with much praise OF
the country in whole and that part OF
the country in particular. The boy
took copious notes, then closed has
book with a bang and smile.,'
"That's all Coca stuff, Lord Beres-
ford,' said he, '''but it's what every
single one of YOU Englishmen tell us
when you get over here. want some
real news.
"Real news?" was the response
eff YOU would answer single real
question for me it might put me on
my feet and make a big journalist OF
me-
The big man smiled at the boy.
"Ask me the one question. Let me
see what it is" he said.
It was at the time Of the earliest
troubles in the far east.
"Why did You change yolT plans
and not 60 to Port Arthur?' he was
asked
::But that's diplomatic question
and not to be answered. he replied.
"The very reason why it is real
news" pressed the boy.
"The foreign office at London re-
quested me not to 60 there" L" said
Beresford as he hurried back into his
train. The boy kept his secret to
himself, wrote his conventional inter-
view with Beresford for the paper
that employed him, then wired Beres-
ford's answer to his real question as
an exclusive feature for the New York
paper. That paper put it in its cable
service and sent Beresford's s answer
to the country reporters question
swinging around the civilized world.
Then it sent for the boy himself and
put him on his feet. Today he sits
close to its managing editors desk
and draws 4 salary Of more than s.
600 a year.-Satur,|av Evening Post.

ing to accepted tradition, the order
was sounded for the charge of the
Light brigade at the battle of BalI-
klava in 1891. Mr.. AStor bought the
buglc as we'll as the flag, paying $3.50
for the latter, and presented both to

The captured Chesapeake was bro
ken up about ninety years ago and
part of her timbcrS went into the con-
structon of dwelling houses in the
town of Portsmouth, England. After
the Shannon and the Chesapeake had
bombardcd each other at close range
for five minutes and had then come
alongside and been laShcd together
Captain Lawrence, already seriously
wounded, gave the command for his
buglcr to call the boarlers. Tho bu-
glcr was found in hiding and so over
come with fear that he could not
sound the command. Then it was
that mutiny, signs of which Lawrence
discovered just as he was about to
give battle, was manifested. The delay
was fatal, and the English boarded
the American vessel just as Lawrence
was being carried below. repeating,
"Don't give up the ship" When an
English midShipman attempted to pull
down the American colOrS and place
above them the union jack, the hal
yards became twisted and led to the
stars and stripes appearing above the
English cOlors. Fire was then reopen
ed by the officer in command of the
Shannon, and the British midshipman
who had pulled down the American
colors was killed, his head being taken
off by a shell. The flags were at last
reversed firing by the Shannon ceased,
and the Americans surrendered, the
battle lasting about eleven minutes.
The Chesapeake flag originally meas
ured four feet by four feet six inches,
and eighttenths of its surface was
taken up by fifteen stars on blue
field. All of the flags stripes except
two are now missing.
Mr. AStOr was born In New York IN
1918, but for about a score of years
has lived abroad and for nearly ten
years has been British subject.

IS to increase his already great un-
popularity in the land of mis-
birth he could scarcely have done any
thing more apt to effect such Il pur-
pose than what he did in purchasing
the flag of the frigatc Chesapeake and
presenting it to British museum
About three months ago the report
was published that the flag had been
purchased in London at an auction
sale and that the purchaser was an
American. Who could ii be: Some
said Cornelius Vanderbilt, others j +.
Morgan, but at the time nobody
dreamed that it was bought with the
view of keeping it in England instead
of sending it to this country, where
it ought to be preserved, in the opin-
ion of most Americans at least. 1t is
nearly Il century since the great battle
was fought between the Shannon and
the Chesapeake, during which Captain
Lawrence, commander of the Amcri-
can frigate, uttered his immortal and
dying words, Don't give up the ship"
Between the people of the British en-
pire and those of the leading Amcr-
can republic the most cordial relations
have long prevailed, and it is felt to
be an act of peculiar impropri"ty that
a man born in America and inhcriting
a great fortune from ancestors who
made their money in this Lara of Iibcr-
ty should be the one to fan the dying
