old l noticed small red spots on hes

disease spread all over the face and
the eyes began to swell. The itching
grew intolerable and 1t was q terrible

months. but they were unable to cure
the baby. l paid out from $40 to $50
without relief. One evening l began

terrible explosion of sound which re-
verberated along the shores and was
thrown back by the echoes. Here
they came, the dying gladiators of all
nations, sailing out to doom!
Well in front were the vanquished
squadrons of japan, their tunnels re-
paired for the last cruise they would
ever make, but stripped of fighting
masts. Back of them came the
mighty ships of England, with prows
turned outward for their final voy-
age. German cruisers, graceful and
well manned, followed; while in their
wakes could be seen others flying the
banners of Italy, of France, of Rus
STA. and nearly every maritime nation
of the globe. Flanking this assem-
blage were the vessels of the Ameri-
can navy. which but short time be-
fore had been regarded as the coun-
try's bulwarks, and were now par
ticipating in the last review.
The science of ages, the experience
of all who had gone down to the sea,
the refinement of skill and study, and
the genius of evolution were embodied
in those metal sides. They repre-
sented the wealth of nations collected
through sweat and blood, all poured
out unstintedly for this-consignment

farewell and carrying his fleets for
the last time. No more would its

Sweet Mary Jane sat fourteen
days and wouldn't deign to rise, al
though her folks tried every way
to make her realize that it was
quite unladylike to sit all day and
night and never change her atti-
tude or rouse her appetite. They
coaxed and teased and threatened
her, and still she would not stand,
and when they tried to raise her up
she bit them on the hand. They
didn't want to do her harm or call

at the thought Of Mary James dis
