A memorable sea fight In the war OF
1872 was the battle between the Amer
lean ship Enterprise. 16 guns and luz
men, and the British Boxer, IA guns
and 100 men. The Enterprise was COM
handed by Lieutenant Burrows and
the Boxer by Captain Blythe. The bat
tie occurred Sept 4. 1872, In the bay not
fur from Portland, Me-, and resulted In
the capture Of the Boxer. both com.
manders being killed. The two vessels
were taken into Portland on the 7th
Of September and anchored on shore.
The cofined bodies Of the two com.
manders were rowed ashore by sailors
Of both ships and after public funeral
services were buried side by side In
the village cemetery. Longfellow, then
a lad Of FIVE years old and living in
Portland, recalls the event in his poem
my Lost YOUTH" written during a
visit to Portland in 1916, in which he
says:
I remember the sea fight far away
How II Numbered DER the tide!-
And the dead captains. as they lay
In their graves. o'erlooking the tranquil
bay,
Where they in battle died.

War and a Window.

In the days when Louis XIV, lie
Grand MOnarQue." was dazzling Eu-
rope his minister. Louvois, was super
intending On the kings behalf the
building of the palace Of the Trianon
in the park ut Versailles. Louis in
spected the buildings one afternoon
and declared one Of the windows to be
out of shape and smaller than the rest.
This Louvois denied. and the king had
the window measured, with the result
that he was proved to be right, and he
openly before all the court ridiculed
Louvois.
But the minister had his revenge,
for, with the angry ejaculation that he
would find better employment for q
monarch than that Of insulting his "a.
vorites. he embroiled France by his in
science in a quarrel with the powers,
which only ended years later In the
peace Of Ryswick after war which
entailed the loss Of many lives and the
expenditure Of large SUING Of money.

Siberia's Growth,

Omsk, Siberia, has become the outfit
ting point for an extraordinary migra
ton, estimated Mt 100000 people an
nually, which pours into the country
bordering Oh Mongolia. Nothing il
Europe or Asia has ever been quite sc
like the springing up Of the great cit
les of the American middle west as Is
the growth today Of new towns in 81
IBERIA. Except that the tide is moving
east instead OF west. the movement
has many parallels to the wonderful
migration which won the west fol
America. There are, however, two strik
ing differences. The first Is that thu
pioneering is comparatively luxurious
compared to the American movement
while the natives instead Of being
swept aside are being absorbed by in
termarriage with the settlers. The ter
day journey up the Irish river from
Omsk into the promised land Is made
by steamboats, which are the last WORD

trafflc.-ChicagO News.

EnoIish Prixsfahtsrs.

There was time when nearly every
prominent prizeighter had q nickname
more generally used by admirers than
his real name. and some Of these were
picturesque. William Perry. famous
fighter of early Victorian days. was
"the Upton SIasher." William Thomp-
son. who won the championship in
1895, was known as Bendigo. The Aus
tralian mining town was named after
him, and. although some Of the inhab-
itants managed to have 1t rechrlstened
Sandhurst. the new name never caught
on. Other nicknames borne by heroes
of the ring were 1.-The Gasman," 1.-The
Sailor Boy" "the Chelsea Snob," 1.-The
Bold SmuggIer," 1.-The Great Gun OF
Windsor" and "the Pride Of Westmin-
ster."

10 como to her for further instructions
He wrote her to ask what would hap
pen II the girl he was to marry would
not have him. Her reply was that pro
vision had been made for such a con.
tingency. but since It did not concern
him she had no Information to impart
on the subject.
Travers wondered more than ever.
This was going through life In

that father Of his must have been a

not It all be for his good? Might. not
bis father have taken this means Of
forcing his son to benefit by his own
experience? Nevertheless 1t must have
been a difficult problem, this tying up
Of the fate Of the son by the father,
the tieup to be effective after the
fathers death.
Travers had often wondered who
this Miss Twitchell might be. He
rather expected to Hnd her as peculiar
% bis father must have been. He
found her an elderly lady. with moth
Ing especially queer about her. She
received him kindly and said that his
home was for the present to be with
her. Sic lived in q country place. and
Travers reat he'd her In June. At that
season there was nothing unpleasant
about bis remaining with her. at least
temporarily.
Az soon as be arrived Miss Twltchell
said to him: II have nothing to do
with the plan your father has laid
out for you except to introduce you to
the girl you are to marry. But I am
