velt was the central figure at the Naval
War college IN Newport the other day
In the most notable conference Of
American naval officers ever called to-
gether to consult and discuss in a
broad, general way the features of fu-
ture battleships. The president spoke
publicly for more than half an hour,
and the conference went into executive
session for an hour.
During this session the president
took leading part in the discussion.
He argued as d layman, he explained,
and did not attempt to give advice to
professional men. He Impressed upon
the officers, however, that it was given
to them to keep the American navy
abreast OF the times and to make it
the hard hitting, efficient fighting
force which he believes to be a guar
antee against the possibility Of war.
Mr.. Roosevelt characterized the navy
as the cheapest form Of safety insur-
ance policy the nation could secure.
The president In his address said:
Admiral, Mr.. Secretary, Gentle
men There are only 4 few things
that l desire to nay today to the con-
ference, and what have to say really
is said less TO the officers present than
to the great blk OF my fellow coun-
trymen outside. I could not speak TO

cember. Sow this In drills from two
TO three feet apart Sometimes set
lettuce or SOW early beets between
the rows OF celery. but. this is only
advisable when the land is rich aud
holds moisture enough for both. The
celery should be large enough 10
thin out and transplant In June or
July. Some prefer to cut the tops OF
the plants once or twice before trans.
planting to make them more stocky.
The weeds must be kept down at all
stages OF growth. but as the roots are
wide-spreading. Il should not be
worked deep.
For winter and spring use the seed
Is seldom sown before day, and the
thinning and transplanting are not
done before July. II very hot when
this Is done, standing boards along the
rows to shade them on the south is
thought TO save more plants from
being injured by the sun than can be
saved by watering them, and is less
labor In most gardens. The boards
will be needed later on fer blanchIng.
These varieties are usually sown
four feet apart II they are to be
blanched or partly blanched between
boards. and six feet apart II TO be
blanched by banking with earth. A
common practice used to be TO SOW
three or five rows Of onions as early
as the ground could be made ready.
then have a row for sowing or trans.
planting celery. and thus proceed
through the field. The plants should
not be less than one foot apart The

CHAPTER vi,
"To Be or Not to Be-"

They were seated rather close togeth-
er upon the steep hillside, gazing silent
ly down upon squalid Glencaid. At such
considerable distance all the dull shah
biness OF the mining town had disap-
peared. and II seemed almost ideal,
viewed against the natural background
of brown rocks and green trees. Every
where was loneliness, no sound telling
of the labor of man reached them,
and the few scattered buildings far
below resembling mere doll-houses.
They had conyersed only upon the
constantly changing beauty OF the
scene. or OF incidents connected with
their upward climb, while moving
slowly along the trail through the
fresh morning sunshine. Now they
sat in silence. the young girl, with
cheeks flushed and dreamy eyes aglow,
gazed far OF along the valley, the
man watching her curiously. and won
dering how best to approach his task.
Observing her now, sitting thus in
total Inconsistencies of his scrutiny,
Hampton made no attempt to analyze
the depth of his interest for this waif
who had come drifting into his life.
Even to his somewhat prejudiced
eyes she was not an attractive crea-
ture. for she possessed no clear con
ception of how to render apparent
those few feminine charms she pos
sessed. Negligence and total uncon-
seriousness of self. coupled with lack
of womanly companionship and guild

brought back to him that abiding
