"a sorrow and a mournful cause to the country.
They are turning out sailors from the school to-
day so the veterans say, who will meet the mark
souare-toed with the seamen who have made
American ships respected wherever a starred
pennant floats.
They are graduating classes more than 200
strong in these days. Formerly a class of SO
was believed to be fairly large. The school in its
membership is fully double the size of the mill
tary academy of West Point. The increase in
the number of sea cadets is due to the great
growth of the navy, and to the fact that ship
for ship the vessels of the present day require
three officers where the vessels of the past re-
CURED one. There are more than 700 cadets
at Annapolis and in a year or two the lumber
will be augmented by at least one-third.
The whole system of instruction, save in one
marked respect, has changed since the day the
present superintendent, Capt. Charles j. Badger,
was learning the ropes on the training ship in
the Annapolis harbor. The older officers had to
learn many new and strange things with the change
from the old type of fighting craft to the new.
The changes came gradually, however, and 1t Is
said that the adaptability of the veterans to new
conditions led the authorities to decide that al
though steam had supplemented sail, the best
preliminary instruction in seamanship for the
cadets was to be had on vessels of the style Of
the old navy.
Admiral Sands, while superintendent, broke up
hazing at the academy. He shares honors with
Gen. Mills, who killed the practice at West Point.
Not long after Admiral Sands was detailed for
duty at the school there was an outbreak of
hazing, and the admiral, with the commandant OF
cadets, went at the task of stopping the practice.
not for the moment nor for the month, but for
all time.
Formerly every time there was a hazing scan
dial at either the military academy or at Annap-
oils congress would censure the authorities for
not maintaining discipline. and then would pro-
coed out of hand to ~reinstate the guilty cadets
whom the authorities had dismissed in order
that discipline might be maintained. How much
stopping Of hazing there could be with congress
condemning the offense one minute and condor
ing it the next may readily be conceived.
Through the influence of the superintendent a
law was passed which gives the authorities q
much freer hand In hazing matters than they had
before. The cadet who hazes to-day can be sep
arated from the service BY an extremely expe-

Real U Poem.

Arthur Riddle, the old-time philoso.
pher, made a poem out of the automo'
bile, as follows:
81 like the smell of the gas SO we'll,
and the smell of the gasoline, and I
like the purr and electric whirr of the
buzzmobile machine. What a Joy to
ride Ger the countryside with a gale
tearing by your ears, as you fly
through space at a wicked pace with
never a thought of fears. Clear out
of mind is the town behind, for moth
ing is real, indeed, but your meteor
red, and the road ahead and the dizzy
delight of speed-till the sudden shock
when a cruel rock destroys your dream
with a jerk. The car breaks down
and you walk to town, half a day late
to work."--Atlanta Constitution.

The above is only one of the thou
sands of grateful letters which are
constantly being received by the
Pinkham Medicine Company of Lynn,
Mass, which prove beyond a doubtthat
Lydia u. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

actually does cure these obstinate dis

things, and as long as they are wholly comfortable
there is wisdom in their reluctance to part with
the old things and their clustering memories.
The very inn at which you eat your dinner
housed men and women who saw the revolution
and the passing rule of Britain-a passing that
some of the conservative ones of the town
viewed with regret. This inn is on Prince George
street.-the revolution did not change the name
of the old Annapolis thoroughfare. Within it's
walls Richard Carvel courted Dorothy Manners,
and the host of the inn seems to be prouder
of the ancient fact than he is of his modern
prosperity,
There is a trap for him who is attracted by
the bait of things ancient at every turn of the
Annapolis way. The old elm on Boston Com
anon, now gone the way Of all things perishable,
was of no earlier seed sprouting than was the
old poplar that still stands, sturdy and green,
on the campus of st. Johns college.
Annapolis people call the poplar the liberty
tree" and it has a right to the name. Under
this tree the patriots of the colony met and made
their announcements for freedom.
Charles Carroll of Carrollton, who signed the
declaration, spoke to the people In its shade and
urged them to their duty to liberty as against
kings" Lafayette was entertained under 1t, and
II has been the central point of independence
day celebrations unnumbered. The records, said
to be authentic, have 1t that in 1862 the colonists
and the Susquehannock Indians agreed under
the great poplar to have a period Of peace.
Annapolis people believe that their liberty tree
was growing when Columbus landed. Its trunk is
only a shell to-day, but it is a huge shell, and
the branches thereof put forth leaves in the
spring in thrifty multitudes.
There are three houses standing in Annapolis
in well-preserved old age that served as the
dwelling places of three colonial governors. One
of these residences was erected, as a street
spasser informs one. "the Lord knows when"
Certain it is. though, that the house was standing
and in use in 1892, for 1t was occupied then by
Gov. Francis Nicholson. When the statehouse
burned in 1904 the residence was used for the
ssittings of the colonial assembly, and 1t is sturdy
enough to-day In appearance to war against
time for centuries to come.
There is a King George street as well as a
Prince George street. in Annapolis. and not many
squares removed is the Duke OF Gloucester
street. williamsburg, in Virginia, has a street
named for the duke, or. rather, for his title and
there was a tendency all through the south 70

Miss Davidson who is frail young wom-
