mander of the high fleet. who was for
merly Miss Ethel Field OF Chicago, has

OUR FIRST NAVAL SCHOOL
One Was Established at Boston After
the Last War With
England.

The first naval school in the Unit
ed States was established at the old
Boston navy yard a little over a CEN
tury ago, the founder being Commo-
dore William Bainbridge, who is
known as the "Father of American
Naval Construction" and who was
born in Princeton, N. j. Balm
bridge was captured by the French
in 1898, during the naval conflicts
between that country and the United
States, and in 1903 he was held
prisoner for nine months by the Tri-
politan pirates, an exchange recalls.
He fought gallantly in the last
war between America and England
and after its conclusion induced the
Washington authorities to open a
training school for naval officers at
Boston. In 1910, some years after
the death Of the founder of Ameri-
can naval education, a naval school
was opened in the old naval asylum
in Philadelphia, and here for few
years the midshipmen of the repub.
lie were instructed in the arts Of
warfare on the seas.
The plan was so successful that it
was decided to open a permanent
naval academy. Annapolis, Nd, was
chosen as the site of the school and
there, over seventy years ago, the
present United States Naval acad.
emy was formally opened.

A Faithful Dog.

It's related by Professor Bell,
that when a friend of his was
travelling abroad, be one morn
Ing took out his purse to see if 1t
contained change for a days
iaunt he intended making. He
departed from his lodgings,
leaving a trusted dog behind.
When he dined, he took out his
purse to pay, and found he had
lost a gold coin from 1t. On re-
turning home in the evening, his
servant informed him that the
dog seemed to be very Ill, as
they could not induce him to eat
anything. He went at once to
his favorlte, and as soon as he
entered the room, the faithful
creature ran to him, deposited
the gold coin at his feet, and
then, with great eagerness, de
youred the food placed for him.
The truth was that the gentle
man had dropped the coin IN the
morning. The dog had picked
1t up and kept 1t In his mouth,
fearing even to eat lest he should
lose his masters property before
an opportunity was afforded him
to res tore lt.-Chalmer's Journ.
