MERELY MAKING WORK

The one thing a commander of vessel engaged in target practice is more inter ested in than anything else is the record that his men can make at the ranges. But there was time when the "man behind the gum was not recognized as the most im- portant element in the efficiency of fight ing ship.
 To illustrate this an old-timer told this story in Washington not long ago;
 "I was junior officer on the old Essex many years ago. In those days we had tar get practice once quarter. We were forced by regulations to expend so many rounds of ammunition every three months, and-well, that was about all there was to it. It was perfunctory kind of practice, and everyone was glad when it was over.
 ''One day we.went out for the quarterly practice, anchored the target and went at it. The targets we used in those days were blanks fastened in a triangle spar stepped in the center to hold the canvas which formed the target proper.
 ''Now the gun captain of the forward pivot rifle was an excellent marksman, and on his first trial he sent shell through the spar, which smashed it into flinders. That, of course, stopped the practice, and out went a boat to tow the wrecked arget alongside for repairs.
 "When it had been patched up, it was lowed back to it's place, and firing was resumed.
 Again the same gunner had the first shot, and again his shell brougnc cown both the spar and the canvas.
 "The boat was sent out again, but when the repaired target was being lowed back to the range, the captain who was much out of bumor by the delay, spoke his mind.
 Tell Gunner Blank he commanded. that if he hits that target again, will put him in the brigr"

RESoURCEFUL JOSEPH

An Atlanta woman who had met with financial reverses moved to the country in order to economze. To assist her in odd jobs about the house she engaged little colored boy named Joe. Now Joe was so pleased with his job that he was anxious to become a permanent member of the lit tie household.
 "Mis' Helen,' he began one day, "don't yo-oll ever git skeered in dis big house, jus by yo'se'f?"
 "Why, yes, Joe," the lady admitted. "It is lonely at times. I have thought or having someone about when my husband has to be away"
 "Why, Joe,' said the lady, laughing, thought maybe you'd like to know dat Is a candidate fo' de position of protector in case you decides to employ somebody"
 "Why, Joe," said the lady, laughing, "what would you do to help me if robbers happened to break in some dark night?"
 Joe studied over this for moment and had an idea.
 "Wel, Mis- Helen," he said proudly, "dere's one thing I could do in case yo' was visited by unwelcpme intruders. I could light the lantern an show yo'-alI which way to run."

 How do you dare talk fresh to mel" cried the Old Man, rushing to destruction. "How do you dare, you-you-you little runt?'
 "I scarcely know" Teddy responded. "The way you've raised me, you haven't left me much nerve. But have enough to tell you that Pm darn tired of this ancient delusion of yours, and Pm through with this hoodoo you've put on me. Pardon my frankness."
 The Old Mans cheeks swelled and his eyes bulged. So many retorts crowded his tongue that they got into traffic block and none came forth. MT. Lormer turned his back. gazed out at the window, and quivered with emotion.
 "You have loaded me-" Teddy pursued, candidly, "with an inferiority complex big enough to founder an elephant.

The psychosharps say pretty rough things about a man who bulldozes the spirit out of his son trying to put spirit into him.
 "But we won't go into that, sir; l have to remember that you are my father. The point for you to note is that the bully ragging has stopped. It stopped 90 sec onds ago, and it stopped for keeps. It won't do any more."

 That gentleman, having found voice at last, cried, "What in eternal thundera- tion!" or words to that effect, and would surely have dashed himself against the ceil- ing if Lormer had not put out saving hand.
 "Shake, sir.'
 "Shake," Weeks said. "What for?"
 "Chief, you ought to be proud of your self. Man, in 10 years the lad will be running the corporation. You've turned the trick, old chap. I congratulate you. I certainly do. I never saw anything like it."
 The thought was a perfectly new one to Mr. Weeks. The longer he considered it. the more entranced with it he became. Mopping beads of sweat from his flushed brow, he exclaimed weakly:

He was a new flagman at railway crossing in Maryland, and his hours were from seven in the morning till seven at night; but he was instructed not to leave until the "Limited' express, which was due at the crossing at two minutes before seven, had safely passed
 All went well for about month. But one night the Limited had not passed at 2 o'clock. About ten minutes after seven the gateman heard it in the distance, and taking good grip on his red lantern, he planted himself in the middle of the track of the Limited.
 The engineer was trying to make up lost time, and the train was speeding, but he brought it to standstill at the first wave fo the red light. He jumped off his engine and ran ahead to find out why he was sgnaled.
 "What made you signal?" he demanded, angrily, seeing no evidence of danger.

THE PROVOCATION

A southern woman, charitably inclined, was calling at the home of a woman who complained not only of her pecuniary diffi- culties but of the treatment that she re- ceived from her husband.
 "Yes, a'am," said tn woman, 'he com- menced to quarrel with me the moment he came in"
 "What did he do?" asked the visitor.
 "Dop exclaimed the indignant wife. "Why, he just set still an' never said sim gle word!"

-It has taken years, Lorimer, years. No body knows the fight I've had"
 "Yes, Chief, but see what you've got at last''
 "That's right" said Weeks. "See what I've got. Ask him in again, and let's look over his report"
 The general superintendent opened the door, Across the big office Teddy Weeks was seated intimately upon Mary Starr's desk.
 "Oh, Ted"
 "In minute, Mr. Lormer."
 Such are the rewards of big hunting. Thus casually did Teddy reply to the once stern call of superiority.
 The conversation itself, which went for ward so vigorously, would have richly re- paid the vainly listening ears of Acton.
 The spectacle alone rejoiced the entire office. Without pretending to work they watched the drama unfold The words that suited the action were heard only by the chief actors. But they appeare,, to be entirely satisfactory.
 "Why, yes, MT. Weeks," Miss Starr was saying, with smile on her Jacqueminot lips. "It's lovely of you, and so t,ice of your sister, and I'll be ready at t Just think, haven't seen the inside of theatre since I came to town"

Little Rock Letter

Little Rock, Feb. 26 The 44tt
General Assembly will adjourn sine
die one week from Thursday noon
Up to Saturday evening there had
been introduced q total of l342
bills of which 4o6 were in the Sen.
ate and s76 in the House. The
House members have broken all re.
cords in the introduction of bills
and it is expected the number will
reach almost thousand before the
end of the week. The agitation tina,
has been in progress for several
years against local legislation does
not appear to have made much OF
an impression upon the membership
The food OF local bills has been the
greatest ever known and the House
has found it possible to keep

by working two or three nights a
week and on Saturday with several
hours thrown IN for extra measure

of licenses. Closely identified with
this measure is one by Senator
Emory which has now passed both
Houses, levying a privilege tax OF
three cents a gallon on gasoline
manufactured or sold at Wholesale
after April /. This bill, which
passed the House by vote OF 76 TO

proceeds cf the tax shall be paid IN.
to County Highway Fund and 25
per cent into a State Highway Fund.
An initial appropriation of So, 3,5oO,-
600 from the proceeds is made for
distribution among the counties.
Friends Of this measure contend
that it's passage would in no wise
affect the consideration of the Hon

of Governor McRse.
