the war. the captain found himself in
want. A petition bearing some Of the
bestknown names in New York was
sent to congress, through President
Roosevelt an old friend of the cap
tain. asking for an increase in pen
sion. Although congress had ad-
journed, it has not become known, to
Chicago Friends of Anderson, at least,
whether the plea was successful.
Capt. Anderson comes from an old
sailor family and has sailed on every
sea of the globe. In 1861. while in
New York, he heard that Capt. Erics-
son, the inventor Of the Monitor, was
having difficulty in obtaining a crew
for his strange craft. Anderson imme-

At the battle with the Merrimac the
guns of the Monitor were double shot

civil war Capt. Anderson continued in
the navy until old age and feeble
health compelled linn to retire.

scabs which he would rub until they
fell of. Then blood and matter would
run out and that would be worse.
Friends coming to see him said that If
he got well he would be disfgured for
life. When it seemed as if he could
possibly stand it no longer, l used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-

For Choosing Partners.

The question of pairing partners for
even dinner party may be made a
pretty ceremony by this method: Have
two baskets of flowers in the drawing
room. with numbered tickets on the
stem of each blossom. The men are
told to draw from the basket having,
say, pink carnations in it. and the
ladies' take theirs from the rose bas-
ket. When numbers are duplicated
partners are found and all proceed to
the dining room.
This relieves the hostess Of the re-
spOnsibility for ones ViS-a-vis, and if
her party has only consenial people it
evening for all.
