In the Straits of Gibraltar, Com

And the new Navy, in it's first ac-

the character of American naval
men, had manifested too great a sym

not only pains to aid them. but had
ondeavored to thwart us With dip

until the proper time arrived. and

Thus was the new Navy shown to

ready to uphold the national honor at
all times and in all places. Such is
the spirit abroad today in the fleet,

Chile, with two or three modern
fighting machines, could easily be-
come an actual menace to our coun-
try, for we had nothing with which
to oppose them.
THE MAN BEHIND THE GUN.
But though the old Navy was in
efficient as far as it's vessel and their
armament were concerned, its officers
and its seamen maintained the best
traditions of the service. and were
ready to fight the world with their
smoothbores against modern rifles.
That was the spirit exhibited by the
last remnant of the old Navy before
it's glorious extinction in the harbOr
of Apia. The wooden Trenton and
Vandalia and the little Nipsic we're
ready and anxious to come to close
quarters with the modern German
warships Adler, Eber, and Olga, and
a battle royal would probably have
been fought between these represen-
tatives of the new and the old navies
of the world had it not been for the
hurricane that brought destruction to
them all. And as the Trenton strain
ed at her anchors while drifting slow
ly but surely on the fatal reef there
was an exhibition of GOODNESS and
bravery of the kind that has always
characterized our Navy. Another
modern war ship, the British Calliope,
of then tremendous horsepower,
fought her way out of the crowded
harbor in the face of the hurricane at
the rate of a knot and half an hour
AS she passed the Trenton, whose
crew knew that they would soon be
cast upon the reef, every man. headed
by the gallant Admiral Kimberly,
rushed to some point of vantage
rail, shrouds, yardarms, or whatnot-
and sent up cheer upon cheer for
the courageous Englishman who dar-
ed to run his ship into the teeth of
the hurricane and who succeeded in
beating the elements because he was
the stronger, And with such men on
board the last vessels of the old
Navy of the United States went to
their doom, and THERE bones, with
those of scores of the brave sailors
who trod their decks, now lie amid
the coral reefs of beautiful Samoa
1 remember, being president of the
chamber of commerce of San Fran
cisco, when Admiral Kimberly and
the surviving men from that fleet
reached San Francisco. The people
of that great metropolis of the Pacific
coast turned out en- masse to give
them reception and applaud them
for their gallant deeds and valor on
that great and eventful occasion.
SPIRIT OF THE AMERICAN NAVY.
At every period in the history of
the United States Navy there has
been some notable example of the
spirit of the men who sailed and
manned the vessels. When John Paul
Jones, on the deck of the sinking Bon
Homme Richard, was asked if he had

war in Cuba. Since that date every
Congress has authorized one or more
first-class battleships. The Iowa, the
most modern of our fighting ships at
the time of the Spanish war, was of
$40 tons and II knots speed, cost
ing $5,S71,206. From that time the
size of battleships increased a few
hundred tons each year until 10000,
ton ships were attained. A few years
ago it was believed that this displace-
ment would very rarely be exceeded,
but suddenly the world began to build
machines still more huge, and
the Congress just ended has author
lied the construction of two monster
of 10000 tons each.

The Navy of the United States is
one branch of the public service in
which the people have a just pride.
They also have a direct interest in it.,
for there is no section of the United
States that has not a representative
on the decks of our ships of war.
PITIABLE REDUCTION OF SEA
POWER.
At the close of the civil war the
United States Navy was undoubtedly
the most powerful in the world, for 1t
had a large fleet of vessels, which were
manned by $4,000 of the best seamen
on salt water, all of whom were well
disciplined and seasoned by long SER
vice, and ready to fight anything that
sailed the seas. But this fleet, when
reduced after the war to peace foot
ing, consisted mainly of wooden ships
and only wooden ships, with two eX-
ceptions, were found therein for
nearly twenty years. But among
these structures of oak there were
some whose names will never be for
gotten-notably the Hartford, which
bore Farragut into Mobile Bay. All
OF the vessels of the Navy at that
time used sail power, to which steam
was simply auxiliary. And the arm
ament was. to us as we look back,
as primitive as were the means OF
propulsion For instance, the glorious
Hartford was only 225 feet long (the
same length as the Mayflower, the
Presidents dispatch), a feet beam,
drawing IS $40 feet of water, with
displacement of 1900 tons. Her coal
capacity was 241 tons, horsepower
$40. and speed 10 knots an hour. Her
armament was one S-inch, muzzle-
loading rifle converted from smooth
bore) and twelve 9jnch smoothbores.
The latest vessel constructed of this
type was the Trenton, 5000 tons and
2,S13 horsepower, capable of making
10 $40 knots, with a coal capacity of
$50 tons. Her battery consisted of
ten S-inch muzzle-loading rifles con-
verted from smoothbores.
When the United States Navy be-
came reduced to twenty-three such
vessels as above-eXclusive of few
single-turreted monitors-the question
began to be asked, OF what good Is
it?" The Old World nations, alive
to the ideas inspired by the Monitor
Of Ericsson, were building new ma
vies on plans which rendered our own
as useless as paper boats. In case
OF trouble with any European power
we should, we began to realize, be
helpless. And as for asserting with
any vigor the Monroe Doctrine, that
would be out of the question. Naval
officers began to feel Inundated at the
condition of the service, for the time
had arrived when there could be
found no excuse. Our Navy had, In
fact, become practically the standard
OF inefficieney-not because of its per-
sonnet, but by reason of the obso-
lete type of its vessel and armament
and the scanty number of armed ships
carrying the American flag. Little

Prevention Which Saves.

Now, put it into money, this same saving to the race through intelligent observation. Hunter has estimated the average cost of preparing man for usefulness at $1,500. The loss of 100000 workers, which occurs every year from diseases that are preventa- ble. represents, therefore, an annual loss to the country of $500, 100000. On Hunters estimate the lowered death rate of England in about ten years would mean capital saved of S1,2S5, ,2O6,O00. The epidemic of 1S91-'92 cost Philadelphia an esti- mated loss of about $22,000,0 ,000-to railways. hotel keepers, merchants, manufacturers-for care of sick, loss of time and expense of burial. A pol icy of prevention, on the other hand, would have cost about $700,000, says Leslie's Weekly. The discovery of the yellow fever mosquito is supposed to save us more money in each single year than was spent upon the entire Cuban war. If we could master tu- berculosis the saving in money in the United States would be 330,000, 900 per year. Is it any wonder, then, that the best physicians are heart and soul in the study of prevention?

TORTURED SIX MONTHS
Suffering Was Terrible - Soon Entirely Cured by Cuticura.

Eczema appeared on my sons face We went to a doctor who treated him for three months. Then he was so bad that his face and head were nothing but one sore and his ears looked as if they were going to fall of, so we tried another doctor for four months, the baby never getting any better. His hand and legs had big sores on them and the poor little fellow suffered so terribly that he could not sleep. After he had suffered six months we tried . set of the Cuticura Remedies and the first treatment let him sleep and rest we'll; in one week the sores were gone and in two months he had clear face. Now he is two years and has never had eczema again. Mrs Louis Beck, R. F. D. 3, San Antonio, Tex, Apr. 15, 1907"

 The next day everything was fixed up with the husband of the 60 wives his toothache was cured, and he quit being mad at Pa, and we all went to river about a mile from camp to catch a mess of hippopotamuses.
 The usual way to catch the hippcs is to let negroes go out in boats and give the hippos chance to swim under the boats and tip them over, and after they had eaten a few ne- groes they would come ashore and lie down in the mud for a nap, and they could be tied to a wagon and hauled to the cages.
 Pa was to superintend the boat excursion, because the hippos would not eat white man. Pa forgot that he was made up like negro, and so he went in the first boat, with six negroes who had been purchased at s apiece for hippo bait
 When the boat got out in the mid dle of the stream, and the hippo heads | began lO pop up out or the water, with Took who's here" expression on their open faces, Pa turned pale which probably saved him, for when the boat was upset, and the hippos took their pick of the negroes, and the water washed the pokeberry juice. off Pa he was as white as the drioen- enoro, and when the nearest hippo got his negro in his mouth and start | ed for the shore Pa climbed on his 1 back and rode ashore in triumph grabbing the husband of the 60 wives by the arm and pulling him on board the hippo, and saving his life, and right there in the mud, while the hippos were eating their breakfast oi cheap negroes, that husband told Pa he felt so under obligation to him that he could have his 60 wives and wei come, and he would go out in the jungle and corral another family.

Pa was a hero after capturing the two tigers and the lion after they had inhaled gas from the gas bag of the air ship, because the crowd didn't know how it was done Every body thought Pa had scared the wild animals with the airship until they were silly, and then hypnotized them, and got them into cages, but when the wild animals came out from un- der the influence of the gas and be- gan to raise the roof, and bite and snarl, the whole camp was half scared to death, and they all insisted on Pa going to the cages and quieting them by his hypnotic eye, but Pa was too wise to try it on wild animals, and he had to confess that it was the gas bag that did the work, and they made and quiet the animals, and when the employees of the expedition found that Pa was not so much of hero as he pretended, Pa was not so much of king as he had been, except in the minds of the African negroes who were at work for us. That old negro who had 60 wives fairly dotted on Pa, and the wives thought Pa was the greatest man that ever was, and the wives fairly got struck on Pa, and wanted to take turns holding Pa in their laps, until the giant husband of the 50 big black females got jeal- ous of Pa, and wanted to hit him on the head with a war club, but Pa showed him thing or two that made him stand without hitehing.
 The black husband had a toothache and asked Pa to cure him of the pain, and Pa had him lie down on the ground, and he put some chloroform on a handkerchief and held it to the mans nose, and pretty soon the ne

 I never saw Pa so discouraged as he was when the oldest wife took his hand and said some words in the ne gro dialect, and pronounced Pa mar ried to the whole bunch, and when they led Pa to the mans tent, fol- lowed by all the wives, half of them singing a dirge for the dead husband, and the other half singing wedding hymn. and Pa looking around scared and trying to get away from his new family, it was pathetic, but all the hands connected with the Hagenbach expedition laughed, and Pa disap- peared in the tent of his wives, and they hustled around to prepare ban quet of roasted zebra and boiled mi noceros.
 We went to the tent and looked in. and Pa was the picture of despair seated in the middle of the tent, all the female negroes betting him, and hugging him, and dressing him in the African costume.
 They brought out loin clothes that belonged to the chloroformed husband and made Pa put them on, they blacked his arms and legs and body
