SENT HAIL TO THE MOON
Embryo Man-ofWar's Man at Least
Convinced officer He Was At

This is the story of one of the men,
bers of the Massachusetts Naval Re-
serves. On the second night of the
cruise of the San Francisco one OF
the amateur tars was on watch. The
night was clear, and myriads OF stars
twinkled in the sky but there was no
moon. Suddenly the reserve sang out,
Light ahoy" where away?" asked
the officer of the deck. Far, far
away" replied the would-be man-oi-
wars man. When the officer had re-
covered from the shock occasioned by
this unseamanlike answer he looked
over the rail in the direction indi-
Gated by the reserves finger, and
then he had another fit. . Whats the
matter with you?" growled the officer.
Cant you recognize the rising moon
when you see it?" Moon! moon! "
stammered the embryo sea dog. Il
beg your pardon, sir" Then he
shouted, as if making amends for his
error, Moon ahoy!"

Fix Paw of Lieutenant Governor.

The house passed bill fixing the
salary of the Lieutenant Governor at
$500 per year. At present the lieuten-
ant governor receives $500 per year as
a member Of the state board OF rail-
road assessors. a board that is no long
er in existence. He also received six
dollars per day for fifty days as pres
ident of the senate, every two years
He received mileage the same as other
members of the legislature. The bill
as introduced by T. ]. Davis of Gray
county provided compensation of ST.
600 for each session of the legislature.
That would be $500 a year. The COM
mittee amended it to read $1,000 per
annum and the house cut it down to
the figures in the original bill.
