After more than 45 years OF con-

during which he has served as Mas

Drum Major and Captain" of the

tion he now holds, Henry p Graham,

Captain" Graham is SO years old.
With the retirement OF Captain
Graham, Rear-Admiral A. III. Scales,
superintendent of the Naval Academy,
will be called upon TO name a sue
cessor Already there are dozen
or more applicants for the appoint
ment, among them being George
Hahn. former Chief of Police of An
napolis, but for the last several years
one of the corps OF watchmen. Mr..
Hahn's large circle of friends and
dCqudlHldhceS are putting W HIS ehi-
nent qualifications for the position
and have given strong recommends
ton for his appointment. AS the
citys Chief of Police he made an
excellent record, and in view OF this
and his robust physique, his tact and
courtesy of manner, his friends say
he would make a most worthy sue
cessor to Captain Graham. He is a
prominent member of Annapolis
Lodge of Elks.

Has Had Unique Career

When Captain Graham steps down
on August 20, it will mean the pass
ing out of a unique figure in the life
of the Naval Academy. Through his
long tour OF duty at the local sta
tion, and the fact that he is four
score and two years old, he enjoys
the close acquaintance of practically
every officer on the active list of the
Navy today, and those who have re-
tired, and besides he has outlived
hundreds of them.
Few people perhaps are aware OF
the fact that Captain Graham is
native of Denmark, and also that he
is a Union Veteran, and fought in
the Indian wars. AT the outbreak
of the war between the States, he
enlisted in the Thirteenth Connecti-
cut Volunteers, as a trumpeter, and
served throughout the conflict.

OF SeafarIng Family

The great grandparents of Captain
Graham were of English and Scottish
extraction. His forbears were sea-
farers. He came to America from
Denmark when comparatively young
man, and he too, had the lure OF the
sea and soon afterward he enlisted
in the Navy. He came to Annapolis
on March 1, 1875, upon transfer
from the Navy Yard at Washington,
where he had been assigned to duty
for several years. AS a member OF
the Marine Corps he rose to the grade
OF Sergeant, and at one time he srev-
ed as master-at-arms. Later on ne
was transferred to the corps of watch
men and in 1898, he was appointed

SHORT LIFE OF FARM TOOLS
Farmer Must Stand Pretty High Acre
Charge on Most of His Labor
Saving Devices.

The life of farm tools Is short at
the best and If tool is given shelter
Its life depends upon the number of
acres 1t has covered. If the tool is
left out all winter its life is not de-
pendent upon the number of acres 1t
covers but upon how long 1t can re-
sist the elements. 1t may be interest
ing to know the average life of some
common tools. A manure spreader is
useful, on the average, eight years;
the sulky plow is good for twelve
years of hard work, while the average
life of moving machines. side deliv-
cry rakes and gas engines is twelve
years If person will take the first
cost and then add on to it the interest
on the investment and annual depre-
citation, taxes, etc, then divide this
sum by the number of acres he has
used 1t over, in most cases he will
find that he has pretty high acre
charge on most of the tools he keeps.
Grain binders will show an acre
charge of about sixty cents; grain
drills twenty-six cents; corn planters
twenty-five cents; hay leaders seventy
five cents and disk harrows forty-fve
cents.

Clinton followed the girl to his door
and watched her sprlghtly departure
down the corridor. When she disap-
peared in the elevator he stepped back
and nodded to the attendant.

''As you wish, sir"
Tie door closed noiselessly. Clin-
ton went to the window. stepped up
on the hot-wnter radiator window

the upper left-hand corner of tho
screen. All the screws were immovable
He reached over TO the other side.
One of the screws in that corner
turned under the twist of his finger
tip, and the screen swung outward.
He drew 1t shut. pushed up the win
dow. and stepped down to examine the
wlndow-seat radiator. There was
nothing about 1t to which line could
be fastened. He stepped up again and
looked at the window cord. Taken
together. the cords of both sashes
might be strong enough to bear his
weight. From the window he went to
the bed. The sheets and coverlet,
though light, were of fine, strong ma
terial.
Having made these investigations
he settled down beside the pile of
magazines and began to read. He was
not interrupted until close upon the
fashionable hour for dining, when an
attendant opened the door and an
nounced that dinner would be served
to him In his room.
4 small table was presently brought
In, and the meal served as neatly as In
n trst-class restaurant. The cooking
was excellent, though noticeable for
the absence of all highly seasoned
dishes and of all stimulating drinks.
Neither wine nor coffee nor even tea
was served. Clinton drank his creamy
milk without complaint, and compli-

There was no reply. Clinton sat

"Hcre-enough OF that :" he ordered.
