Why are the wives of American
officers barred from war ships? This
question. which has puzzled the fair
sex for years, has at last been answered
by Mrs. Roblcy d. Evans, who recently
passed through Boston on her way to
Bar Harbor. That u friend of Mrs.
Evans herself is responsible for the
order which with every new cruise
separates thousands of husbands and
wives may he news even to those
intimately connected with naval affairs.
Several years ago the Rcar-Admiral's
ship was i'll tropical waters OF Il neutral
mission. While in one of the tropical
ports, the wife Of an officer was seated
on the deck one evening, when Il man
crcpt up ont of one Of the companion
ways and presented himself. \ de-
feated South American revolutionist,
this man appealed to the oma to
protect him. He told such u tale of
wrongs that she finally capituluted and
consented tn hide him in the ships
hold.
The next day, when far ont mt sea,
the hidden desperate was found by one
of the ships officers. The authorities
then made the ruling banishing women
from warships for all time.-Exchangc,

Whisker Fireworks

b. F. Olson, whose home is somewhere
in North Dakota. and who was OH his
way to Seattle to see the exposition. had
an amusing. but rather dangerous. ex-
p%erience while he was in Ogden taking
in the town Sunday.
About ll:iO O'Clock Sunday morning
Olson, who is bawhiskcred. went into
the Elite cafe and ate "A lunch. When
lie left the counter he evidently forgot
to put II few tcothpicks i'll his pocket.
and rs he stepped oul on the sidewalk
he thrust u parlor match between his
teeth for a of a better picker.
From the cafe he walked down Wash,
ington venue toward Twenty.fifth
street right in the glare of the MONDAY
sun. While he was strolling along.
probably thinking only OF the prospects
of the Red River valley crops for this
fall, the heat of the sun suddenly set the
match afire, and III the brief part of Il
second his whiSkcrs and mustache were
ablaze.
There was wild excitement on the
avenue. People stopped and stared.
Thay couldn't believe their eyes.
Right before them was u bunch of
whiskers on fire, and they didn't know
what to do. Some of them howled for
the police, and Others ran for a bucket
of water but no one thought of turning
in the fire alarm. The excitement was
of short duration, however, and Olson
extinguished the blaze himself. Just
rs the flames WAS at their height, Olson
dashed frantically into Il drug store
nearby. and seizing a couple of glasses
of water that were about to Ire handed
to w women that had stepped into the
to store toquench their thirst OIL the way
home from church, lie dashed them over
his rapidly diminishing beard, and put
out the fire.
After it WAS all over, Olson kind of
grinned and said. Val, dis hare fer
