During Grants first term his secre-
tary of the navy. Borie. for time
turned the actual administration over
to Admiral Porter Admiral Porter
was n sailor In the strict chronological
sense OF the term In that he believed
there was nothing like sails. As soon
as he was I'm authority he caused the
four bladed propellers OF the vessels
to be removed and replaced by two
bladed ones In order that the ships
might maneuver better under sail. The
inefIiciency thereby brought about Is,
of course, apparent to any engineer, as
the size OF the propeller opening was
fixed and the two bladed screw could
not be made large enough. few years
later In n report to the department he
actually claimed that the vessels were
faster under steam with the mutilated
screws. The facts. of course, were Just
the reverse, and when his influence be-
came less proper propellers were again
fitted. This was when he was still In
his prime and his Judgment was. at
least. not impaired by age. About
twenty years ihter, Wnen tne honNh
cruisers were being built. the dear old
man, then over seventy, went before
the naval committee and said that the
plans OF these vessels were wrong be-
cause they had only auxiliary sail
power. In his judgment they should
have been given full sail power with
steam rs an auxiliary. lie was still n
sailor! The world had not moved for

"For more than thirty years the
most popular woodsman's bank In
Maine was a bank on two legs" says
Major Holmes Day. author Of king
Spruce" Until he was over seventy
years old Uncle Nate Swan was con-
ductor on the Bangor and Piscataquis
railroad. running between the city and
Moosehead lake. With him rode the
woods and driving crews. When they
forgot themselves and made a racket
ON his train he used to cuff them Into
submission, and no man ever raised
his hand against Uncle Nate. When
the men came out Of the woods with
their pay most of them realized from
bitter experience that the city folks
would get all their money away from
them In few days. As soon as they
would get aboard the train they would
begin to strip ten dollar bills OF their
rolls and hand the money to Uncle
Nate to sink for them, banking It on
call They never forgot, nor did he,
and In all the years there was never
dispute between Conductor Swan
and any Of his depositors. When they
came back on his train they were sure
Of enough money for their fare and
their tobacco at the lake outfitting
store. They wouldn't have known very
well what to do with more"
