TOOK ALL INDICTMENT AWAY.
Admiral's Provlso Would Have Rem
dered Shore Leave Valueless.

Admiral Coghlan, as every one
dinner speaker through his recital OF
"Hoch der Kaiser" at a dinner given
by the Union League club in 1899.
Little the admiral cared about the
diplomatic stir that followed. Admiral
coghlan is a stout man of medium
height, grayish hair, large nose, and
twinkling little eyes. He Is always
smiling, good humored. and easy to
approach. Though polished by con
tact with men of many minds, he is
still an old sea dog, and his after din
ner yarns retain much of the flavor OF
salt water.
II never know what | am going to
say when / start out" says the ad-
miral. 81 just get on my feet and
trust to the Lord like the sailor who
starts to row out into a harbor on a
dark, foggy night and trusts to the
good Lord to help him find his ship
somehow"
One of the admirals favorite stories
Is about a former bo'sun of his who
always got drunk when allowed to go
ashore. He was carried aboard so
many times in a helpless condition
that Admiral Coghlan finally decided
to make him stay on board. Some
time after, the ship made European
port after long voyage and all the
crew, except the bibulous one, was
given shore leave. The latter moped
around looking 50 sorrowful that
finally Admiral Coghlan relented. and
said: Jim, If let you off this time
will you promise me not to get
drunk?" Thereupon the reply was:
Thanks fer yer kindness, Cap, but
what's the use goin ashore?'-Bo-

Notes Oh Spring STYLES.

Fashion is marching on In her
usual way this spring, and to those
who know and sec ahead she Is leading
up to an entirely new type of woman, "
says Grace Margaret Gould, the fash
ion editor, in the March, the Spring
Fashion Number of the Womaus
Home Companion.
"rhe change Is to be gradual one,
however, but before long the fashion
able woman will have banished for
good and all the extravagantly large
hat, the huge pompadour, the frills
and the furbe ows of her bodice, and
the full skirt The new tendency is
all toward the straight up-and-down
type of 6gure-sloping, slender hips,
pulled back, tight skirts trailing on
the ground, plain, fitted waists, and
sleeves of the old fashioned tight fit
ting sort which cling to the arm from
shou der to wrist.
"This Is what we are coming to, so
the authorities who make the fashions
tell us, but as yet we have only taken
a step or two on the way. This spring
m any small hats will be worn; the
new corset effect gives unusual slen-
derness of line; cut-in-oue dresses will
be fashionab e /; mousquetaire sleeves
which show the outline of the, arm
will be favored, aud skirts will have
lost their full effect"

HOW TO STOP A NosE-eLEED.
Good Idea, However, Not to Select
One Who Bears You a Grudge.

When the bellboy responded to the
signal he found the elderly travelling
man standing In the center OF the
loom holding a handkerchief to his
nose, from which the blood was
Gozing.
Give me a slap alongside OF the
head, good and hard" said the elderly
man, turning his face toward the boy
and speaking with difficulty.
But, sir, don't know what you
mean, SIR" stammered the boy, back
ing toward the door.
Don't stop to talk" sputtered the
travelling man. slap me, tell you,
again holding his head forward. The
boy hesitated for a moment, then
timidly slapped the mans face.
Harder!" commanded the smitten
one. The boy hesitated no longer, but
with his open palm dealt the man a
vigorous blow.
That's better" grunted the CORY
one as he removed the handkerchief
and after a test found the bleeding
nad stopped. I'm subject to these at.
tacks Of nose bleed" he explained to
the astonished youth, handing him a
tip. 81 have tried all sorts of rene
dies, but nothing acts more promptly
than blow alongside the head. The

A DESERVED PUNISHMENT.

one year in the county jail was the
sentence imposed on Clinton Grady, a
Tacoma insurance solicitor, who was
arrested last week for Stacking his
wife to a bed while he attended to his
business down town during the day.
Gradys inhuman treatment of his wife
stands without a parallel in Tacoma s
criminal history and a years confine-
ment in the county Jail is hardly a
fitting punishment for his crime. 1t is
to be regretted that there is not a
whipping post law in this state in or
der that Grady's punishment could
have been supplemented with sound
threshing. Wife abuse is becoming OF
too frequent occurrence in this state
and while the whipping post is rather
a barbaric method of punishment.
harsh measures are needed to put an
end to the cases of extreme brutality
toward wives that are being constantly
brought to public notice.
