How you can't size up a neighbor

"HE s1Aps ME ON THE BACK"

Kind O. cast iron grin his smile was,
but he thawed out when I
spoke,
An to make things kind O. easy I
worked off little joke.
Why, he fairly keeled with laughin'r
an he slaps me on the back,
An before an hour was over We vas
calm Seth an Jack,
Settin' cheek by jowl an tellin'
bout the times when we wa:
young,
The huskins an the quiltin's an the
old time songs we sung,
The coastin' an the sleigh rides an
the dancin' in the barn,
An at tellin' old time stories he
could cap me, every yarn.
But before I left we made it up tc
meet tonight ag'in,
For we're bound to set the old year
out an see the New Year in.

Who'd thought that Neighbcr Cur

So I tried him with a smile. Says

Merry Christmas, an I'm thinkin'

A GREAT BATTLESHIP.
North Dakota May Steam 5000
Knots Without Recoaling.

Official figures made public indi-
cate that the new battleship North
Dakota, in addition to being one of
the three largest fighting ships aaoat
an honor which she shares with
her sister ship Delaware and the
British ship Neptune-is in class
by herself so far as steaming radius
is concerned. The figures compiled
on her official endurance trials of
the New England coast show that
the North Dakota, steaming at an
average speed Of IL nautical miles
an hour, is able to travel 5000 knots
without recoaling. At 19-knot
speed the big ship will be able to
steam 1000 knots without replen-
ishing her bunkers, while she will
also be able to cover 5000 knots
without recoaling when steaming at
her maximum speed Of 2h knots
an hour.
This great steaming radius is made
possible by the low coal consump-
ton, the tests having determined
that the American-built tnrbine en-
gines, with which the North Dakota
is equipped, requires less fuel than
do the reciprocating type.
