and does not wish to lose time, it is sug-
gested that the treatment be given on
Sunday. With this in mind, DR.. Stiles
issues the following Instructions:
"On Saturday evening give a dose of
EPSON salts. The reason is this: The
hookworms are surrounded by more or
less mucus d partially digested food
Unless this removed the thymol may
not reach tie parasites, but may reach
the patient, and this is contrary to what
is desired. as the thymol Is intended for
the parasite. not the patient.
Instruct the patient to lie on his right
side Immediately before taking the drug
and to remain in that position for at least
half an hour afterward. The reason
for this Is that many of these patients
have enlarged stomachs, and If they lie
on their right side the drug has the bene-
fit of gravity in passing rapidly from the
stomach to the intestine; but IL any other
position is assumed the drug may RENAL in

cradle complaint on the part of the pa

the President put his hand on his head
as if in benediction and of the clustered
boyish speech, Mr.. President you'll
never regret what you have done this
day
The Secretary listened to the plain, sim
pie, human story, and then he summoned
one of his secretaries and instructed him
to get the letter. Out of the archives
where it had lain for nearly forty years
was brought the faded letter of John
Hughes, and together the Secretary and
the captain read it over and commented
on 1t and on the clear, legible writing of
the great President.
Captain, said the Secretary, you
should have this, but as it is an official
record of the department we cannot part
with it except in regular form. | shall see
about getting it. and soon the for
malities are complied with I'll advise
you"
Mr.. Secretary" said the captain ..ev-

am to get the letter, which to me is so
much and which to the department is
so little, l am going to get it now You
asked me if I wanted anything / want
the letter. You said l should have it.
If | leave here today without it / am
sure / never will get it.
Mr.. Long read once more the faded let
ter and once more he read over the in.
scrfption of the martyred President.
Then he summoned the secretary again.
Make copy of this letter in strict con.
formity with the fullest requirements of
the department., he said. Have the
copy certified and attested. Bring back
the original and the copy as soon as
possible"
When the original and the copy were
brought back the Secretary compared the
two and gave the copy to the clerk for
filing.
And then turning to Capt Delehanty
he handed to him the faded letter of long
ago.

scientific fact has been often demonstrat-

arouse the people to the possibility of the
land is much harder.
DR.. S. A Knapp. chief of the division
of farm demonstration of the Department
of Agriculture, is the man who knows
this people so well that he has found the
one way of reaching them. He is trying
it and it works. He has 100000 a year

him to go on typical farm and cultivate

hopeless poor white harvests such a crop
as he never before dreamed of. He is
able to buy such things as have never be-
fore entered his home. He awakes to the
fact that he with his own hands has done
this thing and can do much more on the
same principle. His neighbors marvel at
the crop this man who Is one OF them has
grown. They inquire how it was done
and realize that they can accomplish as
much as this neighbor who is merely one
of them. Assisted by direction from DR..
Knapp's organization and good govern

take heart, hope revives, they set them
selves to the task and perform the mira

thousands in the south. With the dragon
slain their strength with which to under
take the new life will be doubled. With
increased prosperity and better nourished
bodies they may better throw off the
disease. The two dovetail together to
complete the whole scheme. The poor

Maybe he saw doubt still Swallowed in
the captains face. At any rate he said
Captain. there is no reason why you

To Sailors Snug Harbor went the cap
tain. He hardly had taken charge there
before the Maine was blown up in the
harbor of Havana. In a day the nation
was af1ame. War was in the air. 1t was
useless for the governments OF the two
countries directly concerned to try to set
tie the trouble by diplomatic treatings.
Millions of persons cried out for ven-
geance for the hundreds who went to
death on the Maine. Outwardly protest
ing that war was not intended and would
not be resorted to unless all other efforts
failed, both the United States and Spain
rushed their preparations for the conflict
that both knew was inevitable.
In Washington the Navy Department
was straining to bring into play it's most
formidable force Night and day the of
ficials studied the problems of equipment,
personnel and concentration. Every COM
mander saw in the coming conflict an OPP
portunity to win for himself high place
in his country's regard and niche, per-
haps. in the temple of fame For more
than thirty years the nation had been at
peace. Service in the navy had been dull
and offered little reward Men had given
the best years of their lives to it and
had grown old and gray without having
attained much in the way of rank. A
year of war meant more in the way of
promotion than decades of service in
times of peace. To the captain who had
powerful friends in Congress there was
the chance of appointment to command
a fleet.
Capt. Delehanty. newly installed in his
office at Sailors Snug Harbor, read the
news day by day, and every day he re-
GREETED more and more that fate had beer.

But they were both waiting for the flavor
of that big strawberry, and they couldn't
seem to catch it. Then James whispered
to himself. This isn't the biggest. this is
lust the sizes we have been having for
several years; wait till we are actually
married..
Genevieye wasn't thinking so much
about the strawberry. because she had all
those clothes of hers on her mind. But
even at that she would occasionally
smack her lips al the spoon and-miss it,

was James watching for the flavor of the
big strawberry.

1t might come when the Voice That

he had just been kissed by his mother

come when he put Genevieve into the
carriage and took his seat beside her,
his own wife-but then they were fling
ing rice and old shoes and the rice got
down his collar. No flavor to the big
strawberry yet.
And they came back from their we'd
ding tour their honeymoon, and their
lips were still undyed from the juice of
that biggest of all Strawberries. And
that is about all.
Except that Of course, it would never
do for Genevieve to think about another,
nor yet regret those years before she
told James yes" 1t is always best to
wait until you know your mind, OF course,
it is.
And James, who is man of affairs,
and gathers up money, and-yes@and
never hears the birds sing, must never
cast a glance over his shoulder at the
Janey-girl he used to be engaged to, and
who is living brave and useful life
but all alone. That would be very
wrong And still less would he give a
twinkle OF those now dull blue eyes of
his farther and farther back to the red
lips of the girl out in the country, the
girl whose little doublet ring is in his

back to him when he had been two years

To go back to Sailors Snug Harbor
after the war with Spain was no hardship
to Capt. Delehanty. He had rounded out
a fine career In the navy and in the man

hopes to round out his career. But there
was one thing that he craved for, one
thing he had sought for. petitioned for
many times and never had been able to

in Washington he got that.
He had been talking with John D.
Long, Secretary of the Navy, and as he
was about to go the Secretary asked
him il there was anything he could do
for him.
Yes, there is replied the captain.

so unkind to him. After all his years to
be pigeonholed or sidetracked just at the
time when the door of opportunity seemed
about to be opened to the men Of the
navy was hard indeed. That he would be

was most unlikely. He had no reason to

Theodore Roosevelt, and that promise I'm

that would overwhelm the assistant secre-
tary of the navy in the preparations for
the war.
Day by day the tension between Spain
and the United States became more
strained. In Congress the war party grew
stronger and stronger, and the demand
upon the President to act became more
insistent. And as the tension became
more strained and as the war feeling in
creased Capt. Delehantys regret that he
ever accepted the commission to Snug
Harbor became more acute
One day he was in the city, riding down
Broadway i'm a car. when he heard the
newsboys crying Extra. Extra!" in a
voice that told its own story. He got on
the car and bought paper. There across
the whole page was the great news. war
had been declared The Cnited states
and Spain were to settle their differences
by clash of arms. The navies were ready
to be hurled at each other. Armies were
assembling to meet each other and battle
to the death. To the men trained to the
wide open at last but not to Daniel Dele
hanty, neglected and forgotten, buried
away at Sailors Snug Harbor after thirty
five years of service.
As he went down Broadway after read
ing the extra, there was not sadder man
in all New York than Daniel Delehanty.
He crossed the ferry to Staten Island and
boarded the train at ST. George for Snug
Harbor with little thought of anything
but his own ill fortune. AS he entered the
gate at Snug Harbor an orderly stepped
forward, saluted, and thrust forward pa

saluted again.
The captain opened The envelope me-

1t was the very finest berry in the
dish and now the old thing tastes Just
like sand heap and no strawberry at

out loud. Very often Genevieves do not
say such things out loud; they only feel
them in the weary, sorry hearts of them.

"And is that ALP asked the President

In New York the following day the
archbishop sent for the boy ana toia nm

go to West Point. l want to go TO An

misunderstood what the boys father had
said about the lads ambition.

you to West Point, and to west Point
you must CO.
But the boy had no ambition except for
the navy, and nothing the archblsnop
could say could change him. Finally the
archbishop told him to go home, and II
he did not change his mind over night

That night the boy slept very little. and
the following day he went to the arch
bishop and told him he desired nothing
on earth so much as to go to Annapolis.
The archbishop could not see why
boy should be so obstinate.
WELL he said, finally. TN not ask
the President to change the appointment
but if YOU want to go to Washington and
ask him yourself I'll give you letter to
him.
The boy was delighted.
The archbishop wrote letter. and as
the lad was leaving the archbishop SAID
TO him: MY boy, I doubt whether you
can see Mr.. Lincoln. Every minute OF
