NEW YORK, March f. How a lU-ycar-old New York boy caused the defeat and capture Cf a British army during the annual war game" in Bermuda is told in letters which have just been received in New York,
 The boy, William Stokes. Jr., is in Hamilton. Bermuda. with relatives, and when the three regiments that constitute the Bermuda garrison were ordered by the British war office to conduct their annual war game he was interested The garri- sen was divided into blue army and a red army. Young Stokes, who is wireless telegraph amateur, amused himself by Geciphering the h .liOgraph and w'gwag messages sent by the scouts of the rival arm ies. One day, having acquired a fairly accurate knowledge of their code words, he determined to end tho mimic war.
 He took his pony and rode to the top of Hamilton hill, near which the blue army was entrenched. Secret ing himself, he photographed to the rcd army on the opposite hill at St. George: Now is your chance Proceed to Devils Hole and up the foOtpath."

MARRIED PEOPLE WOULD BE
 HAPPIER

If the home trials were never told to neighbors.
 If they kissed and made up after every quarrel.
 If household expenses were pro portioned to receipts.
 If they tried to be as agreeable as in courtship days.
 If each would try to be support and comfort to the other.
 If each remembered the other was a human being, not an angel.
 If women were as kind to their husbands as they were to their lovers
 If fuel and provisions were laid in during the high tide of summer work
 If both parties remembered that they married for worse as well as for better.
 If men were as thoughtful for their wives as they were for their sweet hearts.
 If there were fewer silks and vel vet street costumes, and more plain tidy house-dreSseS.
 If there were fewer please dar- lings" in public, and more common manners in private.
 If wives and husbands would take some pleasure as they go along and not degenerate into mere toiling machines. Recreation is necessary to keep the heart in its place, and to get along without it is big mis- take.
 If men would remember that q woman cant be always smiling who has to cook the dinner, answer the door-bell half dozen times, and get rid of a neighbor who has just dropped in, tend to sick baby, tie up the cut finger of a two-year-old, gather up the playthings of four year-old, tie up the head of six year-old on skates, and get an eight year-old ready for school--to say nothing about sweeping. cleaning, etc A woman with all this to con tend with may claim it as a privilege to look and feel little tired some times, and word of sympathy would not be too much to expect from the man who during the honeymoon wouldn't let her carry as much as a SunShade

One such appeared in gen. eral store in Southern town on one occasion, deposited his pack on the floor and remarked to the merchant.
 "I guess I couldn't drive trade with you, colonel?"
 T reckon you calculate just about right" was the decided reply of the merchant, who had had dealings" with Yankee pedlers on previous occasions. Get out!"

SEATTLE. March ,. - Officers of the Northern Independent Navigation company, which was formed by Seat tie and Alaska men recently, are arranging for their first sailing to Alaskan ports.
 l. is announced that the steamship Washington, which has been acquir- ed by the company. will sail from Seattle for Valdez, Seward, Cordova and all Prince William sound ports April 15 The vessel was to have arrived in Seattle today. but ran into a boom of logs off Astoria, Ore, and was damaged, which delayed her voyage.
 The Northern Independent Naviga- tion company is headed by Wallace Langley, who is the owner of the steamship AlKi, and she will be one of the vessels which will be op- erated by the new company between Seattle and the North. The Al-Ki is now at the Commercial Boiler Works, and more than s25,O00 is to be expended on her to place the vessel in firstclass operating con- dition.
 The Al-ki was built in Bath. Me, in 1884, and after being brought to this coast, sailed for years in the Southeast Alaska trade. She has a capacity of SSS net tens and is equip with 600-norsepower engines. The vessel is 2OO1 feet long, and has a beam of 3S.2 feet, and a depth of 23.3 feet.
 The promoters of the new com pany filed articles of incorporation at Olympia few weeks ago author izing a capital stock of $150,0OO. That amount in cash was put into the project and arrangements made for the purchase of number of vessels. The capitalization will be increased from time to time as the business of the company warrants.
 The Northern Independent Naviga- tion company will dock its vessels at the Virginia street piers. from which the Washington will sail.
