Was Saued Against His viii

Of the navy, Gideon Welles, deter
mined upon Lieut.. Worden as the COM
mander Of the Cheese box and my
point, Long Island, and make a careA
full inspection of the curious craft.
On the morning after he received the
order, the lieutenant reported at the
shipyard of the Delamaters, and it was
with very curious eyes that he beheld
the little ironclad.
Ericsson and one of the Delameters
took him all over the Monitor. He
was intensely interested in the revolv-
ing tower and warmly approved of
the mechanism by which it was made
to revolve. The tower is absolutely
impregnable, in my opinion he de-
clared. I don't believe shot could
hit it square; any blow would glance
off of it.
Lieut.. Worden was equally salts
fed with the various other parts of
the vessel shown him, but at last he
asked: But where Is the pilot house?
There must be some place from which
the pilot and the commander can look
out upon the waters so as to guide the
vessel, either for navigation or into
battle
"Erisccon took my cousin along the
passageway beneath the deck to
point very near the bow of the little
boat, and then pointed to little tow
er-like projection reaching only about
two feet above deck.
That's where the pilot or COM
mander will stand" he said. That's
your post when you are In battle
Lieut. Worden looked the little
pilot house over carefully. He found
the lookout hole and peered through
it. At once he turned to the inventor.
That's an absurdly small hole he de-
clared. I insist that the slot be wild
ened considerably
THAT slot is just the proper width
replied Ericsson. 1t would not be safe
to have the opening any wider"
Nevertheless, l shall insist that 1t
be made wider l will appeal to Secre-
tary Welles and ask him to issue an
order instructing Mr.. Delamater to
have a much wider slot made retort-
ed the lieutenant.
Sure enough" continued the rear
admirals cousin, when Lieut.. Wor-
den returned to Washington he made
an urgent appeal to the secretary Of
the navy to order the slot to be con-
| siderably wfdened, and after much
hemming an order was issued for a
slot somewhat wider, but not nearly so
wide as the lieutenant had contend
ed for
Not long thereafter there was
| fought the battle that revolutionized
sea warfare, and. as every school boy
knows, early in the engagement a
shell from the Merrimac struck ex-
actly upon the pilot house where the
slot was. 1t was terrific blow, and
through the slot and into the face of
Lieut.. Worden, who was looking out
of the slot at the moment, a great
amount of fine metal and powder
! passed. He fell back, mortally wound
ed. apparently. fate that would I'M
doubtedly have been his had he had
! his full way about the width of that
slot. He was saved against his will.
Still, for all that, had he not had his
way partially, he probably would have
escaped the serious injury that threat
ened for time to blind him perma.

DRINK WATER TO CURE
KIDNEYS AND RHEUMATISM
The People Do Not Drink Enough
Water to Keep Healthy,
Says WeIl-known
Authority.

"The numerous cases of kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism are
mainly due to the fact that the drink
ing of water, natures greatest medi-
cine, has been neglected.
Stop loading your system with med
icines and cure-alls; but get on the
water wagon. If you are really sick,
why, of course, take the proper medi-
cines-plain, common vegetable treat
ment, which will not shatter the
nerves or ruin the stomach"
To cure Rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters of the blood They must
be made to strain out of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu-
tralized so it will no longer be a
source of irritation to the bladder, and,
most of all, you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This
is the cause of stomach trouble and
poor digestion. For these conditions
you can do no better than take the
following prescription: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by
shaking we'll in bottle and take in
teaspoonfu1 doses after each meal and
at bedtime, but don't forget the
water. Drink plenty and often.
This valuable information and SIM
pie prescription should be posted up

backache or urinary trouble, no mat
ter how slight.

Cross on FLodden Field

in Scott's notes to "Marmion," in
which it is alleged to mark the spot
where James fell. AS a matter of
act this was a very ancient tribal

ed from some distance either me-
chanically or by glacial action and is
situated about three-quarters of mile
northward from the locality of the
final scene of the battle
The Memorial Cross, which was un-
yelled by Sir George Douglas, is the
outcome Of joint effort by English
men and Scotsmen from both sides
of the border. The idea of marking.
the site near where the closing trag-
edy of the battle took place originated
three years ago with the Berwick
shire Naturalists club.
With regard to the numbers that
took part in Flodden. although the
Scottish army assembled in August

computed to have numbered in all
100000, the camp of James on the

Worden Would Have Been Killed on
the Monitor If Slot in Pilot House
Had Been Wide as He
Wished.

IF Lieut. John L.. Worden, whom
you know better as Rear Admiral Wor-
den, had had his way, he would have
been killed in the naval battle between
the Monitor and the Merrimac, instead
of receiving the injury to his eyes
which every school history tells came
to him while he was gazing through
the lookout hole of the pilot house of
the cheese box at the height of the
battle" said a cousin of Admiral Wor-
den to me when his distinguished
kinsman's career was under discus
sion.

pleted, the work upon it was being
rushed day and night, so as to get 1T

Memorial Unveiled by Sir George
Douglas Is the Outcome OF
Joint Effort by English.

Although Flodden was fought close
upon 400 years ago it is only during
The present week that there has been
unveiled a monument erected upon the
site approximately of the center OF
the battlefield "To the Brave of Both
Nations" -Olim Hostes, Nunc Fratres.
Much confusion, writes correspon-
dent of the Westminster Gazette, has
arisen heretofore from the presence
of the reputed SYPHILIS Well with it's
inscription on Flodden Hill among the
trees above Blinkbonny, where it had
been placed, or rather misplaced, by
the late Warehouses of Waterford
with entire disregard of historical ac-
curacy.

corning Kings Stone" another sup
posititious site memorial consisting of
an unhewn column, has probably been
perpetuated by If 1t did not originate

tain probably more than $4,000. But
these comprised the flower of the
Scots army. The numbers of the two
forces which faced one another,
though at first largely in favor of the
Scots, were probably pretty well
equalized after the dramatic disap-
pearance Of Home and Hunty's divis-
ion Of 5000 to 10000 men shortly aft
er the beginning of the battle.
The arm mostly used by the Scots
was a kene and sharp spear fifteen
feet long. Targets also were carried
by them and when the spears failed
they fought with great and sharp
swords" Flodden was the last field
upon which the bows of yew and
clothyard shafts were employed by
the English. ..4.a

THOUGHT ONLY OF THE GAME
FiIiaI Affection Lost Sight Of by the
Small but Enthusiastic Lover
of Football.

Among the spectators at match

the Olympic was little lad about
nine years of age. Though the boys

been limited, his notion of correct
play was extremely robust.

When his parent neatly "grassed"
one of the opposing forwards, the
youngster expressed approval by
bawling, Good fer yer, ovid en-" add

Los Angeles is a truly exciting town

Death of Christian Science
Founder Brings Out Inter
view With Follower.

The death of Mrs. Mary Baker Ed
dy, the discoverer and founder of
Christian Science, has left the local
Christian Science body undisturbed.
There was, of course, expression of
genuine regret among the members,
but the great leader, with her remark
able forsig ght. had years ago guided the
church into the course in which it
could continue undsturbed after her
leave taking.
The Christian Science body in Ham
mond is well holding it's own, although
the Christian Science church suffers
just like the others, because of the
shifting population said one of the
leading members yesterday. In due
course of time Mrs. Eddy will take her
proper place in history. and Christian
Science too will grow. It is but natural
that it should grow for Christian
Science is nothing more than the pri-
NAL doctrines of Christianity"

MONON TO
RUN NEW
TRAINS
II Ire N1sa0SI

Information as yet unofficial, but
generally disseminated among the en-
ployes of the Monon railroad, is to the
effect that the company will run at
least two more passenger trains in and
out of Chicago. The new service is
merely an extension of the schedule
which made up two Indianapolis ,raIns
at Monon- According to the new plans
these sections instead of connecting
with Nos. 5 and 6, will run through as
second setcions of Nos and s. Their
official numbers however are to be 81
and 3S. None of this information is
official thus far and is merely patched
together from rumors that the train
men carry back and forth.
Yesterday it was said that the new
schedule would go into effect next Sun
day but bulletins had been received
at the local office. This morning it was
said that the new schedule would GO
into effect on Sunday the 18th.
The new service is aimed solely to
accommodate the Chicago and Indianap-
oils passenger traffic, and will be big

NIGHT SCHOOL
IN The GAR
DISTRICT

TIL desire on the part of large
number of the foreigners in the Stand
ard steel Car district to secure edu-
cation has resulted in their presenting
a petition, signed by fifty of them, ask
ing for the establishment of night
school.
The law provides that in the event
twenty or more people petition for the
establishment of a night school it shall
become mandatory upon the part of
the board of education to establish such
a school,
Consequently preparations are being
made for the establishment of a night
school. At the present time the regular
corps of teachers viii be assigned to
the work. but II Is expected that extra
corps OF teachers will be assigned to
the work, but it is expected that ex-
ira teachers will have to be employed
for this work later on.
The teachers who take up these night
classes will be compelled to teach from
O'Clock until $50. This will be more
work than they can do if they are
compelled to teach during the day in
addition to doing the night work.
superintendent c. NJ. Mcdaniel stated
today that many of the foreigners show
great precocity in their studies, and the
older of them learn readily. He be-
lieves that the night schools will dc
a great deal of good in educating the
foreigners of this community, and he
expects to encouragethe establishment

IDEA ABOUT

Hammond's Mayor at Good

to See His Project Made

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. S.-Lawrence
Becker, mayor of Hammond. is here
to attend the good roads convention,
and he has an idea which he hopes to
see made into law at the coming session
of the Legislature. 1t has to do with
proceedings for the openining of new
streets He says that under the pres
ent law when a street is to be vacated
the proceedings must be filed against
every property owner whose property
Is affected in any manner by the i'm
provement. If there are five hundred
SO affected 1t is like a law suit against
that number of individuals.
The law requires that personal sci =
Ice of the notice shall be made in every
case where 1t is possible to find the
owner" said Mayor Becker, yesterday.
Where the owner cannot be found so
as to get personal service on him the
law says the notice shall be by publica-
tion- Now this is a very expensive, un-
handy procedure, and it could be simpli-
fed and made less expensive by cha ng
ing the law to provide that notice
to all property owners snoe-si be by
publication / hope the legislature will
