 But n commander doesn't swing in a hammock; and dozen ditty boxes and bags wouldn't hold the mess of uniforms he must have. Also there are his civilian togs, and swords, and books. and fling cases and multi Jude of other belongings.

It was an ignOhle period in our politics when both parties were dodging the irrepressible issue of slavery. and the smaller the candidate for president the better chance he had to dodge the question.
 In the teeth of piercing northwest wind the old farmer president-elect, bareheaded and dsdaining the protec- ton Of an overcoat, rode horseback to the capitol. After addressing q great crowd that shivered in its shaWls and furs, he insisted, though half-froZen, on remounting his horse and leading the inaugural parade.
 No sooner was the first Whlg presi- dent fin the chair than the claims of factions and the clamor for patronage assailed him. Clay had declined cabinet honOrs-and labors-in the confident expectation of playing the easier and more powerful role of the power behind the throne The inn perious manner of the Great Com mOner wounding the presidential pride, he was requested to make his calls at the White House as infre- quent and inconspicuous as he con yenlently could. Thereup0n his total absence became embarrassingly con spicnous.

MOTOR FAULTS

A WIFE? She isn't in it-not with "A man and his machine. The di- vine harmony of married bliss, the gentle concord of lifelong companion ship, the passionate prelude to life itself, are as dust before the hypnotic bonds of mechanism.
 Observe the chief electrician on watch. About him hum and roar and thump and purr the million parts of monster man-of-war. Overhead may flash great teams of heavy guns and hurl their steel death into the enemy. Men may be dying up there. Or a twelve-ton broadside may this moment be in flight toward the heart of the dynamo room itself.
 He is watching his motor. Four fat turbo generators are sucking juice out of the air-or wherever juice comes from-and feeding it through the ship.
 Suddenly electric lamps about grow brighter. Rather pleasant, one would think, to have more light. Not so the chief To him one bit of unusual bril- liancy means turbine speed too high Too much current is squirting through the cupric nerves of his paramour. With a practised hand he shifts a valve. Steam drops the fraction of a pound and lamps come natural again.
 Ives bright from concentration shift to the ammeter a dial that shows the current It's feathered needle moves with the motors pulse, q pulse Of blood more strange than space, twice as invisible, yet potent beyond mans puny measurements.
 Voltmeter gives him the pressure of this blood. Crackle of tiny sparks here and there point to many leaks in the tender skin of insulation. Perhaps a slight fever warns the st 'dy mag nets at the motors forehead-an over load or short in the circuit would do it. So the chief does this and that with his switches, and his armature brushes, and his resisting rheostat, un- til his loved one rests more easily.
 Mayhap a burst of blnding flame stuns him. He may finch in the heat of 1t. Five-hundred volts leap short gaps with almost volcanic intensity. But the chief leaps to his circuit breaker with ferocity of defense. His own body is nothing. 'Tis the motor he would save.
 No msogynist is thls-not with a love like that Bachelor at forty; call him a celibate if you please. But the motors faults are not the follies of q woman They are the weak points In the chiefs electrical efficiency.
 He knows this. The clean truth of it holds him. He sticks to the navy, to his motor; and his love is very genuine.

Mayor Gets soc Year;
 Wants $8 Per Week

Hoopeston. III, = Changing times have brought about the most bitter political fight in the annals of this town. The issue is, shall the mayors salary continue at 50 cents year or be boosted to S9 week? Aligned with it is the proposed dreadful gouge on the part of the aldermen. They get 25 cents year. and are clamoring for S5 Q week.
 For thirtv-nine years the mayors have served for 50 cents atyeac. and the proposed raid on the treasury has caused a public protest. The ma for lty of the faction against the boost is made up of ex-mayo bout twenty of them, who term the aot;ou of the city council which voted unanimously for the boost as "a shocking state of affair S and reckless waste of good money"
 Ex-Mayor Merritt told how he was compelled to waste half years salary when he was mayor to settle bet. He received a telegram asking if it was true that the mayor only received 50 cents year. He replied: Ut is true, and here goes half of it to pay for this message.

Every Home in Alaska Should HarbOr a Goat,
 Says Successful Raiser

Jose ph T. Bauer former master ser geant U. s. Signal Corps atfNulato end Sitka, but now retired. and owner of a goat ranch on Cbicagoff island, makes the claim that he has experimented with the animals during hard winter aud that he was able to winter them without shelter or food and that they came throagh the experience in fine shape. He is of the opinion that goats will thrive where deer will perish.
 Mir. Bauer thinks that goat raising in Alaska is entirely practica ble, and he says he has been raising them with the utmost success for the past five years and is of the opinion, that there should be goat in every home in Alaska. ''1f every island from Dixon Entrance to the head of Lynn Canal was fully stocked with goats, every ship going south would have capacity load of fresh meat and hides," said Mir. Bauer.
 He claims that the animals in Alaska are very prolific and that from five goats last year he got fourteen kids. If the kids are allowed all the milk they wish, a kid will dress thirty pounds iu two months, and roast kid is the meat par excellence, he stated.
 Goat milk. according to Mr. Bauer. if care is taken in the milking, is next only to Jersey milk in flavor, and is one of the best mlks for both adults and infants. 1t is not uncommon, he says,i for 8, goat~to give gallon of milk, a; 6ay.

 slump of more than ST, 900, 900 as com- pareG to the record of 1918, so that the 1920 slump. is insignificant in compar- ison.
