cific. He speaks particularly of Pearl
Harbor at Hawaii. where naval base
is now being established, and of the
dry dock Dewey at Olongapo. sixty
miles from Manila.
"The protection of our Atlantic
coast" he says, lies in fleet based
on Guantanamo, and the protection of
the Pacific coast lies in a fleet based
on Pearl Harbor Both Guantanamo
and Pearl Harbor are ideally situated
in their respective spheres. The form
er is centrally located with reference
to the Panama Canal and our Atlantic
coast, and a fleet based there would
command all the avenues toward the
canal. Hawaii stands in the Pacific
as our outpost, and no power could
successfully approach our Pacific
coast without taking it and meeting
VIGOROUSLY the strong fleet which we
would maintain there"

Tho LaIrd's Pictures.

Some years ago Scotch laird found
on succeeding to his estates that the
house contained two portraits of a dis
tinguished member Of the family who
had fourished during the reign Of
George III, one by Reynolds and the
other by Raeburn. He knew no more
of pictures than a Newfoundland dog,
and he decided that two portraits Of
the same individual need not be kept
The Reynolds was retained, while the
Raeburn was presented to public
gallery. The worthy man was struck
with constrnation some time afterward
when he found that his gift had been
valued at $4,000 and probably the
picture would now fetch double that
amount

I had pleaded my headache as an
excuse for avoiding Aunt Selma all
day, and she had not sent for me.
Bella was really quite extraordinary.
She was never in the habit of putting
herself out for any one, and she al

in one of Bella's wadded silk robes,

doing her hair in elaborate puffs-

on Aunt Selina's nose and dabbed vio-
let water behind her ears, and said
she couldn't understand why she
(Aunt Selina) had never married, but,
of course, she probably would some
day!
The result was. naturally, that the
old lady wouldn't let Bella out of her
sight, except to go to the kitchen for
something to eat for her. That very
day Bella got the doctor to order ale

could come in; Dal said 1T was all a.

learned to eat anchovies and caviare

almost instantly by a Stuart's Dys-

busy at once-supplies all the diges-

the food in a jiffy and opens up the
clogged stomach and bowels. 1t also
sweetens and Iefreshens the mucou.
