Navy Beans Still Hold Own.
At meal times, while navy beans
still hold their own, the old salt pork.
the venerable salt horse, plum duff
and hardtack have given place to re-
frigerated meat, fresh vegetables,
bakers bread, pie and ice cream.
OF all changes, however, the great
est Is In the kind of demands made
upon the crew and officers. In the
frigate Colorado the yards were
hoisted and braced about. the sails
were reefed and furled, the anchor
weighed, the boats rowed and hoisted
aboard by the crew, the ship steered
by wheel, and stores whipped on
board-all by hand Handling sail,
besides making strong bodies, taught
eye, hand and brain to work nimbly
together.
In stormy weather seaman aloft
at a dizzy height could work with
both hands and exert his full
strength, while holding on by his
knees, or even, In some incredible
way, by a grip with his belly. In

Seamanship was an art. to him the

In contrast, most Of the demands
for power in the modern battleshlp

effort to do away with all foreign

The law has been taken so serious

81 men. All of them knew they were
risking their lives in venture in
which all the odds seemed to be
against them, but they were deter
mined either to capture Aguinaldo or
to give their lives in their most des-
perate effort to do so.
Fire at Aguinaldo's Guard.
Everybody knew by heart the story
to be told. That was that the Mac
abebes had captured an American
scouting party, after killing several
men, and were bringing in "six prison
ers." The prisoners" were Funston
and his fellow officers. One wrong
word FROM member of the native
band and the Americans would be
shot down.
The party landed March IA at
Casiguran bay under the cover of
darkness and disembarked. Aguinal-
dos hiding place was about 100 miles
away. A day was spent ut Casiguran
and Funston's story was tried on the
natives there. They took 1t in COM
pletely and gave his men food to take
win them on the tortuous route from
Casiguran to Palanan.
There was week Of marching.
Torrents of rain fell without ceasing,
the food dwindled, the men grew weak
and II seemed as though Funston's
great effort was to be blocked by
starvation. The last days march was
made on empty stomachs, but II
brought the invaders close to Palanan
The Macabebes were ahead. with
Funston and the other prisoners
close behind. Aguinaldo was still In
Palanan, in house in the village. He
had an escort Of about fifty men, in
cuding his military staff. The sup.
posed "rebels" called on him and told
him Of their capture Of the Americans
The Macabebes outside of the house

fire on Aguinaldo's escort and killed

grown nearly tenfold; the old sea-

American entered.
II am Frederick Funston OF the
United States army" he said quietly.
."You are now a prisoner of war"
Aguinaldo could not believe 1t.
"Is this not some joker" he de-
manded.
He was assured 1t was not. He and
his band were led down to the coast,
put aboard the Vicksburg, and taken
to Manila. There he was nominally
prisoner, but the United States gave
him very liberal treatment, and on
April 10 he issued his famous declara-
tion which brought the two-year war
of the insurrectionists In the Philip
pines to an end.
HE was the best Filipino was ever
brought in contact WITH" Funston
said, in speaking of him. And Agui-
naldo congratulated Funston in writ

daring enterprise.

rich American, Mrs. Silvanus
Hestooks, paid 10000 francs to
an artist who could paint her
portrait In given time.
She recently went to an artist
in Passy and told him that she
was very anxious to have him
paint her picture, but she had
only three hours in which to
have 1t done. The artist, selling
his brushes, set to work. Paint
ing by electric light, he finished
the portrait in the required time.
Mrs. Hestooks, surprised and
much delighted with the result,
handed him a blank check.
"Such prompt work deserves
a prize" she said, "fill this out

The artist made the most Of
his opportunity.
Thirty thousand francs, as
