He entered the examination, just as
he said he would, and took first place
over % other boys. That was in 1870
and he has been in the navy service

According to the Chicago Fletcher,
1t was one of the bitterest disappoint-
ments of the admiraPs career when
he was compelled to remain at an exec
utiye desk in Washington during the
Spanish war. But the admiral as the
result of that experience, became an
expert on ordnance.

Why Called spin Money.

Why is il called pin money!" The
answer to that question goes away
back to the fourteenth century. Pins
were pins m those days. They were
not carelessly lost or cast away as
they are now. The law perT ID that
they be sold only on the first two days
of each January. in order that they
might not become too common II
therefore became the custom for
women of all classes to buy their
years supply Of pins on chose two
days. and the money given to them
by their husbands or fathers for that
purpose was pin money.

Frank Speaight Scores
In Recital of Dickens

Frank Speaight could have made no
more happy selection for his first re-
cital of Dickens stories than "Plck-
wick Papers" with which he enter
tained large audience at the Belasco
yesterday afternoon. The manner in
which Mr.. Speaight presents his reci-
tai is unique. Without stage acces-
sories. he tells the real story of the
famous characters. impersonating them
all to a sufficient degree to make his
audience thoroughly familiar with their
characteristics. The recitation Of the
famous Bardell-Pickwick troubles, gave
the actor-lecturer a wonderful oppor-
tunity for the display of his talents
The result was an afternoon of unusual
amusement While the humor of Dick
ems is brought out cleyerly and fully,
the pathos is not neglected. and the
great ability of the master of English
to draw both tears and laughter was
exemplified in Mr.. Speaights presenta-
ton.
Next Thursday afternoon the subject
of the recital will be David Copper
field" and April IS. "A Tale of Two
Cities" will be given.
