THE SENTRY ON GUARD.

Rumor reached the commandment Of the
navy yard at Boston that an effort woue
be made 10 mutiiate the offensive figuo-
head. and accordingly each night a SEN
try stood watch near the ship with
loaded musket. This precautionary meas.
ure was not sufficient however as Ne
shall see.
one dark and stormy night the act OF
mutilation was accomplished. and the
perpetrator was a youth Of the name OF
Dewey. Perhaps our present admiral does
not acknowledge any knship. but the rest
Of us recognize a relationship in daring
spirit Young Dewey managed to get
into the navy yard under the cover OF
night or he may have hidden there dur
ing the day. Anyway he got on 10 the
Constitution unobserved by the marine on
duty. There was a thunderstorm raging
at the time. Perhaps that sea-soldier had
a measure Of wisdom beyond that accredit-
ed TO mis- stripe By his traditional critics,
the sailors. and he thought best TO get in
out of the wet on that particular occasion.
BY the light of the flashing thunderbolts.
Dewey reached the wooden figure OF
Andrew Jackson and deliberately sawed
the head OF and got out Of the govern
ment reservation with his spoils.
There was d fearful hubbub the next
morning when the act OF vandalism was
discovered, and it is not recorded just
how the unfortunate sentry or his relief
explained the contamination OF that deed
right under his very eye. To make mat
tiers worse, after the public had been
thoroughly aroused. the dishgured head.
in a common sunnybag, was smuggled in
to the navy yard and surreptitiously left
at the Office OF the commandment. That
was adding insult 10 injury,

Certain II is that no old sailor thought
a vessel complete without a tigurehead'
and when a craft had seen her last days
and was in the hands Of the wreckers
care was commonly taken to preserve the
image or bust which had surmounted her
stem In order that there might remain
tangible evidence Of the days OF her
glory. Many an old skipper has just sucn
memento Of the days Of his prime. and
about that figure his fancy paints the
crstwhile ship and sees her coursing the
seven seas.

stances which. II he had been a smaller
man. would inevitably have thrown him
into violent antagonism 10 me. He was
the close and intimate friend OF President
Mckinley. He was McKinley's devoted
ally and follower. and his trusted adj

with him. Partly because OF this friend
ship. his position in the Senate and in the
country was unique.
With McKinley's sudden death Senator
Hanna found himself bereft OF his dearest
friend. while l. who had just come TO the
Presidency. was in his view an untried
man. whose trustworthiness on many
public questions was at least doubtful.

because Senator Hanna had in him the

REPAIRING THE DAMAGE.

But just the same the vengeful Wings
were outwitted in the end. Another head
was promptly carved and neatly fitted on
the shoulders of the heroic figure. and care
was taken 10 prevent repetition OF the
outrage The new head was held in place
by great iron rod driven down through
its top and buried deeply in the support
ing bust. This igurehead adorned CD the
bow OF the Constitution for a good many
years, and probably was not removed UNI
Ill the craft was so thoroughly repaired
that she was substantially rebuilt In the
SOS. From that time on she carried
a replica OF the scroll billethead which
she bore during the War OF 1912. and
such is her bow ornament to-day. The

was considered by the Wings an outrage
that one so offensive TO them as Andrew
Jackson should thus be signally and
above his merits honored BY association
with that national ship.

NEPTUNE ON THE BOW.

Despite tradition, Hercules did not wear
well. so far as the Constitution was con-
cerned. and that tigurehead disappeared
about 1901 II is quite probable that the
original bust was badly shattered when
Preble carried the ship into the harbor
of Tripou in 1904 and faced the full fire OF
the Turkish forts. However that may be,
Hercules was supplanted by carving OF
Neptune being. according TO the views of
old sailormen. a better headpiece and
mythical patron for "Old Ironsides."
But somehow Neptune was not satisfy
ing, and when war was declared in 1872
the Constitution had only a carved scroll
ornamenting her bow. and II was with
this decoration that she fought her way
SO brilliantly through the succeeding
years Of that struggle blllethead OF
this description was carried by "Old
Ironsides' from that time on until the
event happened which threw the whole OF
New England, at least. into Juror.
At the time Andrew Jackson was run
ming for the Presidency the Constitution
was lying at Boston. undergoing extern
sive repairs. and some partisan official
authorized a new figurehead for the ship.
Accordingly, a full length figure OF Jack
son was carved and placed upon her. In
those lusty days party spirit reached ex-

bear upon her stem a bust Of Wellington.
In our navy the tigurehead has played
a more or less conspicuous part upon a
number of occasions and once. at least,
il became wellnigh a national question.
When the Constitution was built, repre-
senting as she did the majesty OF the law
and the Union. it was deemed proper that
her fsurehead should typify strength and
power Accordingly her fgurehead was
a bust Of Hercules. and the carving was
done by the Messrs. SHILLING. Of Boston,
then famous for work of this sort In
fact. these same cunning artists carved
decorations for her stern which were
afterward supplemented by busts Of some
Of our naval heroes.

WONDERFUL AND VERY POTENT
MEDICINES USED BY THE
MEDICAL EXPERT.

How often Is It that we now plcn
up some daily paper and SEQ that
some poor soul has been taken to the
hospital and operated upon, and died
from the effects OF the operation,
commonly called surgical shock.
While some few cases where pus has
former It Is absolutely necessary to-
operate, as pus cannot be absorbed
and It must have its outlet. But We
also note that where the non-surgical
treatment is given by the Medical
Expert, whose Offices are on the second
door OF the Monarch building at 42b
Main street. they get cured without
an operation and a surgical shock.
For instance, Mr.. s. p. Nygren, living
at 1913 Bank street, this city, who had
tumor removed from his cheek by
the Medical Expert without the knife.
Mr.. Nygren had consulted number
OF doctors and one told him he would
have to go to the hospital and take
chloroform and they would cut 1t off,
This he did not want to DO, as he was
afraid to take the chloroform A
week last Wednesday the Medical
Expert treated the tumor and on
Sunday 1t fell off. This was done
without pain, without the loss Of
blood and without cutting. Mr.. Ny
gren is well pleased with the work
OF the Medical Expert and wants his
friends to know about his cure. He
will be glad to tell anyone OF his
case. The doctors office hours are
from 10 to IL a. M, to 4:30 p. M.
