San Diego, Cal, April 15.-The
parade of blue jackets nd marines
landed from the American battle
ship feet, 5000 fighting men fresh
from a cruise of more than 1900
miles, marked today's ceremonies of
official welcome to the state Of Cali
fornia. Sixty-four companies Of sal
lormen in their togs of sea, with wide
spreading trousers reefed down in
canvass leggings and sixteen COM
panies Of marines, soldierly and
straight, formed the most notable of
the nayy's land display. The landing
party, equipped as infantry, armed
with Krags, in light marching order
and with canteens filed, equalled an
army corps. The procession the men
Of the navy formed was more than
two miles long. They marched from
the water front to City Park, over
three miles of streets canopied with
decorations which combined the red,
white and blue of the nation, and
the gold and white Of the state.
San Diego took holiday to see
the martial pageant, and the side
walks paralelling the asphalted
roadways were crowded with a typi-
cal holiday crowd. Their enthusia-
SIN was explosive, the appearance Of
blue jackets and marines calling
forth long sustained cheering.
AT city Park the sailors passed in
review before Rear Admirals Thorn
as, Sperry and Emery and Governor
Gillette and his staff. A crowd Of
thousands OF people surrounded the
grandstands. Three thousand school
children waving flags and banners
were massed directly in front Of the
reviewing stand and their songs and
cheers were one of the prettiest feat
ures OF tn days celebration. Gov
ernor Gillette In brief speech, sup
plemented his words of welcome
spoken yesterday on the deck of the
flagship Connecticut, and Rear Ad-
miral Chas. M. Thomas made a
formal response in behalf OF the
4 feet.

Admiral Evans behalf. a golden

increase was opposed by Mr.. Tawney,
chairman Of the committee on appro.
priations; Mr.. Foss, chairman of the
committee on naval affairs; Mr.. VIII
liams, the minority leader, and 9TH
ers, and was advocated by Hobson of
Alabama, who declared that, in rela-
ton to the increase of the old nations,
four battleships would only keep the
American navy abreast of other great
nations. Mr.. Longworth of Ohio, in a
vigorous speech, told the house that
the president was more interested in
this increase than any other question
before congress, and as practically all
OF them had in the last election de-
clared they supported him, this was a
good opportunity for them to live up
to that declaration.

Short Names.

An English clergyman, DR.. Frederick
Lee. had a prejudice against long
string of Christian names, and held
that If such names were proposed the
clergyman should alter them at bap-
tism. whether the parents were willing
or not It was said of him that he
christened all the boys Frederick after
himself, and all the girls Mary after
the Virgin. The author of THE Life
of Walter Pater" gives Doctor Lees
method of christening as follows:

his authoritative voice.

tine Ferdinand" perhaps the mother
would whisper.

amazement, and then would follow the
usual formula Of baptism.
In the vestry, Of course, there would
be objection.
."This child" Doctor Lee would re-
ply. "will have to get bis living in the
world and what do you want to hand

for? Anyhow, it's done now, and can't
be altered"

One of the most successful Of modern
techers writes, For ages people have
realized that the boy has a mind to
: educate Only recently have We awak-
ened to the fact that he has body to
develop and a character to form. A
! fine mind in puny body Is deplora-
BILE combination. When it is allied to
weak or unprincipled character the
situation is far worse; and no plan Of
education is complete which does not
seek persistently and Systematically tc
develop in every boy character and
health as well as mental power No
one can dispute the truth of these
words. But we have not yet learned all
the conclusions they involve. They alb
solve the teacher from the final re-
sponsibility, and thrust it into the often
reluctant hands Of the father and
mother. Health and character are i'm
mensely dependent on conditions in the
home. The school may keep the child
| in the most desirable surroundings for
six hours a days; but the other eight
cen hours are passed under the order
Of the home. Sleeping and eating are
far more determining factors in the
life of the boy than studying. A boy
overfed or a girl underfed can no more
respond to the call of an inspiring
teacher than an engine can move when
it's fire box is choked with cinders or
empty of coal Bad air in a sleeping
room can vitiate the moral teaching OF
the schools Tight clothing may stran-
gle in a girl a talent for music or a
love of poetry. So we arrive at another
truism-that parents and teachers
must work together if the children are
to do we'll. The aid of modern science
must serve in home as in school. So
| the wise home making and the affec-
tionate companionship of the father
and mother may supplant the infor-
nation and the discipline which the
teacher brings. Out Of the combination
comes the happy family.

The young woman with the firmly
modelled chin raised her gray eyes to
the chandelier. II wonder If girl
wouldn't be just as happy single as
married?" she said, musingly.
The rather understood young man
with the convex forehead and the wa
vering gaze replied that he couldn't
say.
There's a good deal to be said on
both sides, suppose" said the young
woman.
The young man said he supposed
there was.
Edna Is just as happy over her en-
gagement as can be-" said the young
woman with the firmly modelled chin.
"she thinks there isn't anybody in the
whole world like Fred. 1t must be
nice to be so satisfied, but Fred doesn't
appeal to me much. He doesn't come
anywhere near my ideal Of what a
man should be-"

"Soon after New Years." replied the
young woman. Her mother thinks
they are both too young, but his father
believes in early marriages. He says
there isn't any sense in waiting If they
think they like each other we'll enough
to be married. What do you think"
II suppose it would depend upon cir
cumstances," said the young man with
the convex FOREHEAD. There might be
circumstances under which it would be
better to wait, and then there might
be no reason why they shouldn't get
married at once"
"Of course" said the young woman.
II don't think Edna has extravagant
tastes. She's like me in that respect.
She likes to have things nice, and so do
I; but she doesn't care about having
them splendid. She says she will be
quite willing to wait for splendor until
Fred gets very rich. I told her l knew
that would be the way should feel.
What do you think about it?"

shouldn't" agreed the young man.
"Of course, they haven't known each
other so very long-not nearly as long
as we've known each other. Still, l
don't know why it hasn't been quite
long enough for them to have fair
idea Of each others tastes and DISPOSE

there are not only tennis and croquet

The history Of Temple Dinsley dates
back to the coming of the conqueror

by Bernard Of Balliol, who lived in the
days Of King Stephen, and Sir Walter

the local color Of the beautiful district
where this lord of Hitchin held almost

Stories are told about a mysterious
