John Driscoll of Hampton, Va, is
the last survivor of the old U. S. S.
Monitor, conqueror of the Merrimac
in the Civil war After the famous
naval battle President Lincoln sum-
moned the Monitors crew to Washing
ton and told them if anyone ever want
ed favor it would only be necessary
to ask it. Driscoll, now seventy-six,
never asked anything of the United
States until recently, when he told the
navy department a trip through the
Panama canal on a warship before he
died would make him happy. The
promise will be made good and he will
sail on the next ship to make the pas
sage.

DECLINED TO PERMIT 4
SQUADRON TO DEFEND
AMERICANS.

At Tampico there was a gen.
eral movement of attack by the
Mexicans on Americans and
other foreigners. We had a
squadron Of American warships
in the neighborhood. The Viii
son Administration declined to
permit this squadron to be used
to defend the lives of American
men and the honor Of American
women, and the commanders of
the German and English ships
at Tampico had to step In and
perform the task our represcn-
tative had so basely abandoned.
At the very time that the Mexi-
can mob had surrounded the
building in which the Americans
had taken refuge, and was howl
ing for their blood, the Ameri-
can fleet, in spite Of the pro-
tests of the American naval
commander. and In accordance
with wireless orders from Wash
inaton, was forced to steam out
OF the harbor and leave the Am
orleans to be massacred by the
Mexicans, or rescued by the
Germans and English.-From

Roosevelt, delivered at Lewis

Pay up Day In China.

At the Chinese New Year, the houses
and other buildings are decked with
flowers and the streets are thronged
with people who have come out to buy
provisions. new clothes and gifts. One
good New Year custom In China Is
that of settling up all debts before the
old year has died out A Chinaman
who allows the New Year to dawn be-
fore he has settled with his creditors

man to whom money is owing is not
there to receive it then be is debarred
from pressing his claims for some
months afterward. The New Year is
also a great time for housekeeping, by
the way.
