FINALLY SERVED THE PAPER
Willy 6aiIf Had Hard Work, but at
Last Scored Victory Over the
Cardinal.

Some time ago a very rich old Ital.
ian lady died leaving to her heirs a
colossal fortune. She was very pious
and. first of all, laid upon these heirs
the obligation to remit to the vatican
100000 lire. The heirs were greatly
embarrassed by this bequest. They
obtained n decision which should put
the vatican in possession Of this leg
acy, but neither the pope nor Cardinal
Merry del Val would accept IT, A bal
liff was charged with the duty of CIV
ing notice of the Judgment to the holy
see. He was unable to place this pa.
per In the hands of Plus X. or in the
hands of his secretary He could not
approach the holy father and entrance
to the apartments of Monsignore del
Val was prohibited.
He then devised a scheme. He
learned that the cardinal had gone to
battle In Lake Bracciano, soLe dis
lance from Rome. At the moment
when the papal secretary reappeared

der the nose of his eminence. But
the cardinal, who is an excellent swim
mer, made a dive, disappeared. and
next took refuge in a bathhouse,
closing the door behind him.
A half hour later his eminence was
breakfasting at a restaurant. The re-
past ended, he asked for his bill. The
garcon brought It to him and upon
the same plate the cardinal found the
Official paper. The garcon was no
other than the bailiff. His last trick
had succeeded. The paper was served

there are many such men in the artillery
ranks. II the marksmen at Fortress Monroe
failed in their cunning there is little chance
that their brother artillerymen at Fort Wool
would fail in theirs. for the enemy that would
attempt to force the passage of the James
would almost brush the muzzles OF the small

Few of the modern 12.inch rifles that form
the armament Of Fortress Monroe mount
ed on the parapet Of the ancient part of the
stronghold. The real Notifications are on the
beach hundreds OF yards away. The visitor

The targets were not hit. and yet they were
hit at nearly every shot, and the conscience
isn't hurt in making this contradicting state
ment. With their glasses and measuring in
struments. the officers with the firing detail
marked the place where the projectile struck.
and IL 1t hit within a space fore or aft OF the
target not greater than the space that would
have been covered by a battleship a hit was

The life of a 12-inch gun is measured by a
little more than hve-score shots Add this to
the expense of the firing. and you have some
of the reasons why most of the big-gun prac-
tice is confined to sighting without shooting.

duty to locate the mine fields and clear the
channel Of the explosives. Small boats are
sent out from the investing battleships with
crews given over to the duty OF finding the
mines and of removing the dangerous OBJ
structions by a process OF graphing.
The artillerymen at Fortress Monroe are
drilled at frequent intervals in the work Of
checkmating any attempt Of the enemy to In
wade the mine fields and to drag away the
torpedoes. The drill is conducted at night. and
It is combination of the exciting and the
picturesque. a mine field is laid of. and small

aboard undertake to approach the defensive

light squad finds them coming to the mine
field. and shows them shining mark to the
gunners. the men OF the fortress are held to
have won the day, or It should be. the
night. This searchlight and mine-feld drill
doesn't cost much and 1t is important in
the game Of war, the artillerymen have 1t over
and again. 1t is amusement and serious
work in one.

intelligence is needed in the service and the
men who serve one enlistment are capable. be-
cause of the instruction they receive. Of filling
well-paying positions in civil life. The result
has been that few men have cared to re-enlist,
and Uncle Sam has been compelled to go over
the instruction work time after time with new
levies of recruits. The increase in the pay of
the men. it is believed. will hold them to the
service.
Fortress Monroe is one of the best posts in
the army from the enlisted mans point of
view. He has everything that makes for COM

constantly changing and always interesting
