MEN LAID OFF
FOR SEVEN DAYS
NUMBER OF WORkMEN OF NAVY
YARD WERE TOLD NOT TO RE
TURN FOR A WEEk-PLENT
OF FUNDS, BUT no VESSELS TO
WORK ON.

A large number of employees of the
Pensacola navy yard have been told
not to report for duty for a week, as
there is no work for them to do at
the present time. The hope that
there viii be something at the end OF
q weeks time was the reason why
they were told to report at the end
OF seven days. The men laid off, how
ever, DO not believe that when they re-
port work will be any more plentiful
The occasion for the laying off of the
wOTkmen is not the lack of money, for
there is now ample money, but the
fact that no vessels are at the yard
to be repaired or rebuilt about all of
this work having been completed. The
fact that the big fleet of battleships is
in foreign country and not at the
northern yards to be repaired, has
caused the navy department to send
the smaller vessels TO the larger
yards to keep the forces employed, and
as result the Pensacola yard has
suffered
Efforts are being made to have one
of the gunboats which has been on
duty in South America for several
months sent here for repairs. Two
vessels are to come back from there
for a general overhauling and if one
of these can be secured it will give
employment to the men

called a shell. The Y. NJ. c. A Boat
Club is now in its infancy, and is not
as well supplied with racing shells as
We hope they will be in the near fu-
ture, and as the inscription on the
cup leads us to believe that the same
was donated with the understanding
that it should be competed for by four
cared shells, which has not been done
up to this, we feel that the above
proposition is perfectly fair We
earnestly request you to give this chal-

and notify us through mail of your
acceptance or Tejectment before the

nodded into one of the great champions
of the faith, surely there was hope for
man who had merely lived life of Sin.
He shut the book and prayed for
strength. At times his burning thoughts
found vent in spoken words. Outside the
door Mrs Hill crouched and listened to
what she believed to be the rawlings Of a
mailman. Then, tired and cold. she crept
back to her bed and thanked heaven that
the rent was paid.
At last. when the man had exhausted
himself in fervent prayer, he opened the
word of God at random. He often did
this. as though seeking a chance inspira-
ton. The ''Sortes Virgilianes" appealed
to him as a form of guidance.
The following was the text that caught
his eye:
1.-The wages of sin is DEATH
He closed the book gently, blew out the
candle and once more lay down to sleep.
Death let it be-" he said. quietly, but
not until my work is DONE
And thrusting everything else out Of
his mind he pondered over the details OF
his great scheme until he fell asleep.
