Viii taEe a good time. Boxing field

pected to take up and the place is pro-
vided- 1t is dead certainty that he
will want TO dance and not only halls
and skating Kinks innumerable have
been placed at his disposal. but the
pretty giris-really pretty ones, too
will be there waiting to be asked to
dance. Could man ask more for his
pleasure? The delicate task of asking
these girls is in able hands and mas
ter of ceremonies with assistants will
be at each ball to see that everything
goes merrily. One big dance a night
is all that is contemplated, but IL more
are desired they viii be provided and
the same magic carpet will bring be-
fore the wide eyes of the youth more
bathrooms filled with pretty girls.
i. Then there are the band concerts
which will be given every night-three
or four OF them. The possibilities of
romance here beggar description. but
that will be perfectly apparent to the
jacky. The jacky's plea always is.
Just give me a chance to get ac-
cuainted,'' and IL there are no masters
OF ceremonies at the band concerts. one
night at a dance win give iacky
sufficient acquaintance to last him a
good 10 days. One Introduction at a
dance has lasted many p man life
time and a merry, companionable girl
will make time fly for a bluejacket
just as quickly as for any one else
1t has also been considered that most
of the men Of the fleet have never seen
California. so excursions have been pro-
vfded into the country all about the
bay Citizens OF interior towns also
want to extend the glad hand and they
will also be given their opportunity.
Early fruits will be ripe in May and
the memory of one luscious peach
picked from the tree after $4,000 miles
at sea will last in the mind of a healthy
youth when everything else has faded
from il.
San Francisco is providing all this
for the enlisted men of the navy whole
heartedly It IS glad and anxious 20
dc it. Every ono sympathizes with
youth and strength. and there will be
just as much fun giving good time
to the fresh unjaded American blue
Jacket as there is fun In it for him.
There will be many a sad heart when
he sails away. for sailors are famous
for their conquests. and there will be
many smiling. sun bronzed face that
will never be forgotten.
The notion has become well fixed
that sailors are all alike and prefer
to go their own pace ashore so the
entertainments for the officers Of the
fleet have been all made with an eye
to that fact. There will be few grand
and formal affairs. when the spIendor
of the navy and the glory OF the city
will meet. The governor must hold a
formal reception and the mayor as well.
Banquets to which everybody who can
get an invitation will go, and balls TO
which the whole city will turn out will
follow closely on each others heels
Every one recognizes the fact that
this is the biggest social event that
has ever occurred here. and the festivi-
ties will be in accordance To every
young unmarried womans heart there
comes a fiutter at the thought of that

Every afternoon at the Fairmont and
St Francis hotels there will be infor-

navy and the girls they meet at the
big affairs can meet on less formal
ground and get acquainted. With the
officers as with the men, the machinery
has all been provided 1t rests with
the participants to take it up and

1t is not often that you hear a son
declare himself in favor of his fa-
ther as the bravest man in the world.
says a writer in the New York Press
| asked an Englishman the other day
the question, "Who was the bravest
man you ever knew?" His reply:
"My father. He was a colonel in
the army, stationed in India. One
night while encamped near the base
of the Dhawalagiri, in Nepul. lust
south OF the Chinese boundary, he
was bitten in the wrist by a snake.
Instead OF alarming the regiment, he
quietly caught the reptile by the
neck, walked quarter mile into the
wood, struck a match and examined
the creature. 1t proved to be
cobra dl capello, whose bite is be-
ileved to be sure death in seven or
eight minutes. My fathers arm was
beginning to swell. He threw tho
snake away and with his sword
hacked off his arm above the elbow,
using the trunk of tree as a cbon.

llgature in those days. TIE bopnd
