Rodgers greeted him courteously, and
then asked:
DO you know what ship you are
aboard Off"
why yes" responded the British
officer; 1t is his majesty's ship, Sea
horse"
Did you ever hear of a vessel
called The PRESIDENT" inquired
Rodgers.
Indeed I have" replied the unsus-
pecting Englishman. That is the
craft we are supposed to take"
Well The President has taken
you" smiled Rodgers.
The full truth of the ruse by which
he had been betrayed flashed at once
upon the chagrined Briton, but he
saw that he vas helpless. The crew
of The President were at quarters
ready for instant action, and the
Highflyer lay at their mercy under
the frOwning muzzTes Of the Ameri-
can guns. There was nothing for it
but to submit as gracefully as pos
sible. Rodgers ordered the British
cOlors struck, and soon the stars and
stripes foated in the breeze over
both vessels. The sword worn by
Hutchinson, the English commander,
was the personal property of Rodgers,
taken amidst other plumber at the
burning of Havre de Grace, but
destined to be returned to the owner
in token of the surrender of one Of
his majesty's crack sea-fighters.
The Highhyer was taken captive to
the American shore. and the country
once again rang with the praises Of
the dashing and ingenious Rodgers.
To Rodgers and The President also
belongs the peculiar distinction of
having fought for so hours in abso-
Lutte daylight This is explained by
the fact that the engagement in ques-
ton took place in the Norway lati-
tudes where perpetual daylight exists

That Rodgers assumed the entire re
sponsibility is further shown by
diary kept by one of his officers
which reads, in part, as follows:
Yesterday, May 16, while beating
down the bay, we spoke to a brig

Just why historians treat this es-

U. S. TO BUY AREOPLANES
Outline of War Departments Plans for
Training Aviators.

New York, March 30.-An outline of
the war departments plans for train
ing aviators and making the aeroplane
practicable auxiliary, have been sub
mitted to the Aero Club of America by
General James Allen of the signal
corps. He says:
'HThe departments connection with
aviation dates from 1907, when the de-
partment issued specifications for aero
planes, for which there were three bid
ders. The money appropriated by con-
gress for this purpose was soon ex-
hausted and it was not until recently
that the department was able to make
any real progress in the science, which
came about as the result of an appro-
priation of $125.0OO by congress.
''It is the desire of the government to
buy as many machines as possible.
These machines will be selected as best
suited for military work, while every
effort will be made to advance aviation
throughout the country with the avail
able funds.
IAN aerodrome will be established ar
| San Antonio, where six or seven ma
chimes will shortly be assembled. Con-
siderable difficulty has been experienced
| in training officers and men, but the
plans of the government will change
| this in the near future. Aerodromes
will be built on the government reser-
vations at Fort Riley, Fort Leaven-
| WOfLHs w est NION0IIlOT 1SldIlu
and a location near the capital. Every
person who owns an aeroplane will be
| invited to occupy a hangar on the gov
| eminent reservation and thereby assist
in training the officers selected by the
war department for instruction.
1.-THE government will send Officers
for observation to the coming Belmont
Park meets and others of Importance
throughout the country. About thirty
officers will be detailed for aviation
duty this year and this number will bt
| increased next year. The government
will promote the science by providing
suitable places for experiments ans
lend all possible aid to young fliers ant
inventors, which will serve to promote
the cause of aviation and prove of in
estimable benefit to the nation from {
military and naval standpoint"

COMPARISON OF WAGES.
Shows Preachers Receive About Half
as Much as Skilled Laborers.

New York. March 30.-A comparison
of the wages paid in various trades and
occupations. with the salary Of the av-
erage preacher, prepared for the New
York Methodist Episcopal conference,
now in session, shows that the preach
er receives about half as much as the
average skilled 1aborer.
Outside of a hundred of the largest
Cities" the report says, the average
salary of the Methodist minister is $573
a year. Besides this, it might be cited
that 100, 600 locomotive engineers receive
an average of 81, 200 a year. The aver
age policeman gets $1,000 a year, so
that more is paid for those who watch
over the transgressor than is paid to
him who is working for Transformation
Of the human soul"

PLANS TO REBUILD.
VIII Cost $4.oOO,oo0 to Repair New
York Capitol.

Albany, March s0.-The work of
rehabi1itating the f1re-swept state cap-
itol, begun yesterday while the flames
were still cracking in the western
wing, was continued today with in
creasing vigor. First efforts were di-
rected to drying out the portions of
the great building untouched by the
fire but soaked by the tons of water
poured on the conf1agration.
Today the legislative leaders are ex-
pected to confer with Governor Dix
and State Architect Ware regarding
the appropriation necessary to repair
the building. The state architect has
recommended that the legislature au-
thorize Immediately the preparation of
plans for rebuilding the ruined third
and fourth floors in the west end. This
work will include the replanning of
the interior to meet the demands of
the offices that will occupy the quar-
ters from which fire drove the educa-
ton department. Unofficial estimates
place the cost of reconstruction close
to 100000.

About the Time 1t Takes For a

On the Food and Bring Relief.
TRIAL PACKAGE SENT FREE.

TRIAL PACKAGE SENT FREE.
There is no long wait between the
time you take Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablet and the feeling Of relief it will
bring to an overloaded stomach. 1t
gets busy in jiffy and quickly sets
things to rights in that tired and dis
ordered stomach. It goes right at the
work Of digesting the food it finds
lodged there and in no time at all has
things on the move-the gases cease
forming. the breath is sweetened, the
coating on the tongue disappears and
you are no longer conscious that you
even have a stomach.
That is one Of the chief recommen-
dations for Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
that they don't take forever to ac-
complish the purpose for which you
need them. 1t is just as if you put an
extra stomach or two to work when
yours needed help. You can't continu-
ally overload your stomach and expect
it to always smile. 1t is going to get
rebellious and sulky after awhile and
refuse to go on being driven to do dou-
ally-not by starving and thereby
weakening yourself physically-but by
using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet to do
the work of digesting your food.
These tablets contain all the active
elements of the natural stomach juices
and will alone and unaided digest food
just the same as the gastric juices.
And nothing could be more harmless
than these tablets. They do not effect
the system in any way-do not cure
any ailment except as they digest food.
Use them freely.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by all druggists everywhere. Price, so
cents per box. A trial package will be
sent if you will write F. A. Stuart Co.,

M'NEAL TO WELCOME.
Will Deliver Address to County Attor-
neys Tomorrow.

John Dawson, attorney general, an
nounced today the program for the
meeting of the county attorneys of the
state to be held at the state house
Friday. All the county attorneys have
been asked to come to Topeka for this
day to talk over the old laws and the
new ones passed by the 1911 legislature.
In a letter to the county attorneys
Mr.. Dawson said:
Il beg to invite you to a conference
at the state capitol in Topeka, on
March 81, to consider methods and pro-
cedure for the better enforcement of
the laws of this state. particularly re-
garding mOnOpOlleS and trusts in re-
straint of trade. gambling, the main
tenance of bucket shops, and infrac-
lions Of the prohibitory law. The recent
session of the legislature enacted d
number of new and important laws
which need consideration at the hands
of al the prosecuting attorneys of this
state. 1t is important for the better
administration of the law that this
department should be in close touch
with the county attorneys office in ev-
cry county, and this can best be done
by a conference. Doubtless some coun-
ty attorneys who have recently been
indicted into Office find themselves
confronted with many perplexing prob
lens, and an informal discussion of
these matters with those who have
been longer in the public service will
tend to expedite the dispatch of pub
lie business.
THE regular program will be confin-
ed to one day. but all the officers of
this department will be prepared to
give the following day to such Of the
county attorneys as may want to con-
suit them about cases of peculiar diff
Guilty.
IF you find it impossible to attend
this conference yourself, it would be
to your advantage to send your assist
ant or deputy. 1t is quite clear that
your actual and necessary expenses in
attending this conference will be a
proper charge upon the general reve-
nue. fund of your county
