What does that mean? Did you
ever see it before? It is found on the
fourth ridge of every genuine
CORTRIGHT METAL SHINGLE.
And what are CORTRIGHT MET
AL SHINGLES ? They’re a hand
some roofing that lasts as long as the
building itself and never needs re
pairs. Think of it—they were put on
the market 22 years ago and the roofs
iput on then are as good as new today.
What’s more—they’re comparatively
cheap. Sold by

A MIGHTY FORTRESS,
The Famous Rock of Gibraltar
and Its Armament.
GUN IN EVERY CREVICE.
The Place Stored With Feed and Mu
nitions of War to Stand a Siege cf
Seven Years —An English View of the
Cannon Studded Stronghold.
“An enemy’s fleet could he sent to
the bottom in ten minutes before get
ting within five miles of Gibraltar.
Not even a torpedo-boat -could succeed
in entering the bay unobserved on the
blackest night.” That sums up the
opinions of the most eminent naval
experts as to the impregnability of the
world’s greatest fortress.
But disappointment awaits the sight
seeing visitor. The rock, though bar
is covered with luxbriant vegeta
tion —not a fort prominent, net a gun
to be seen even with the most pow
erful glasses, no discernible ammuni
tion magazines, no strongholds, only a
peaceful, prosperous harbor and a
sleepy, straggling town.
It Is night, and the maneuvers are
on. Swift playing searchlights trans
form the bay into a sheet of shimmer
ing silver upon which are seen ma
jestic British warships and elongated
flying shadows, the torpedoes. Guns
answer guns out of every conceivable
and corner, blending in one
uproar, while scores of shells
plow the water for miles around.
Sentries are everywhere; infantry
parties crouch in the shadows; hun
dreds of gunners stand ready behind
hundreds of guns in these mysterious
labyrinths hewn out of the solid rock—
“the galleries.” The vicious barking
of Maxim guns gives contrast to the
deep toned baying of these mammoth
pieces of ordnance, the mere report of
which cracks stone roofs and bursts
doors and whole windows. Could any
'vet live through the murderous hail
Cgigantic shells?
- Gibraltar never sleeps. By day and
night two perfectly equipped signal
stations, proudly flaunting Britain's
flag of ownership, unceasingly sweep
the seas around to a distance of fif
teen miles on a clear day. instantly
reporting tlie coming and going of
each vessel. Sentries guard all the
prominent forts, magazines and gate
ways; gunners sleep beside their guns;
engineers are ever ready beside the
powerful searchlights.
Modern “needle” runs, the finest in
Ew rope, are installed on all the most
prominent points. They are unreacha
able from f he sea, even as they are
undlscernible. owing to the skill with
whicli they are painted and draped to
match the surrounding vegetation,
while huge screens drop automatic
ally before them as each shell is fired.
They have a range of fifteen miles
and could drop shells on Ceuta. In Af
rica, opposite, cuiite comfortably. One
gun weighs 110 tons and is capable of
throwing a shell weighing three-quar
ters of a ton. In that marvel of engi
neering under great difficulties, the
galleries, are concealed guns for every
day in the year.
These galleries are divided into three
sections, entry to which is guarded,
while one is closed even to high offi-
eers, containing preserved stores, mu
nitions of war. rainwater (for Gibral
tar has no springs) and a complete
condensing plant—all calculated toout
j last a siege of seven years.
The firing is the most mathematical
|ly perfect imaginable. The surround
ing waters are mapped out into
squares, upon which certain guns are
kept ready trained, so that it is almost
impossible to miss. During practice
targets are towed across the bay, the
object being to hit the water a few
yards in advance of them.
Although the sentries have now been
reduced, a few years ago 1.18 were
needed daily, the most important point
being the north front, where English
sentries face Spanish sentries. But
the mere pressure of an electric but
ton by the officer of the guard would
cause a miniature earthquake on the
neutral ground. Cassell's Saturday
Journal.
Haggis as the Scotch Make It.
To make haggis take the heart,
tongue and small liver of the sheep,
one pound of bacon, four ounces of
crumbs of bread, the rind of one lem

ful of i>epper and two teaspoonfuls of
salt. Chop the heart, tongue, liver
and bacon, mix thoroughly, add the
breadcrumbs, the anchovies, chopped

pepper and salt Beat the eggs and
pour them over. Pack this Into a ket
tle or mold, cover and boll or steam

A Clever Cock.
Mrs. Nurieh was in the jewelry
store.
“Here are some now souvenir spoons
we have just got in.” said the clerk,
placing a tray for her inspection.
“Oh, ain't those lovely!” she ex
claimed. “I must have some of those!
Our cook makes such lovely souvenir!”
—Argonaut.
Well Posted.
“What was that musty old explorer
talking about?” inquired the languid
lady.
“Progressive Patagonia.”
“And how do you play it?”—Louis
ville Courier-Journal.

As It Happens.
Bobbie—Papa, when a foreign count
gets engaged to an American girl, is
she his fiancee? Robert—That is a mat
ter of opinion, son. Usually she is his
financier.—New York Press.
Love’s Language.
It was the morning of that fearsome;
uncertain day on which the bonds
were to be made fast, where a tiny
path yet leads hack, when each tries
to peer into the future and wonders
and doubts and hesitates.
They were alone, and she drew near
him, aware and watchful.
“Harold, dearest, in a few hours it
will all be over. Can you grasp it
all? But did you dream of me last
night ?”
“Yes, ownest. I saw you as a black,
marvelous swan, drifting placidly all
alone on a mirrored lake, with here
and there a fiat, floating leaf. And
then I, a humble, joyous swan, too,
began to float out to you. And my
soul took fire, dearest, and I thrilled
all over as you swung superbly around,
and I wished to be a poet, with a liv
ing, passionate pen, find I wished my
self an earth god and that a raging
wind would swoop down upon you
that I might seize you in my arms
and defy the storm god. And I c-ould
smell sweet .incense and hear the
tinkling of innumerable bells and could
feel the delirium of a burning heart,
and again I wished to be a poet that T
might sing"—
“But, Harold, do you really love me?”
lie paused, breathed deep and
poured out Pis soul, “l’es, dearest, I
think you are it.”
And then she held up her vibrant
lips, confident, satisfied.-—Puck.
Soliloquy cf the Engagement Ring.
T am considered a brilliant success
in literature, though many people ac
cuse me of plagarism, the popular crit
icism of my work being that old, old
story.”
It is a pity I am so bright, however,
considering the conversations I have
to listen to every evening. Last night
he remarked sixty-five times, “I love
you so, dear,” and sixty-five times she
replied. “Do you, dear?”
He tells them all “I love you as man
never loved before.” Isn't he clever to
find so many new ways of doing some
thing so old?
Personally 1 can see no difference in
his methods myself.
They held on to me with both hands
last evening, but I Insisted upon cut
ting them.
The man and I can always get
around a pretty girl.
The man owes all his happiness to
me. Only through my influence is he
able to hold her hands in his and taste
the sweetness of her lips, yet already
has he forgotten me in his longing for
a wedding ring.
Men are so ungrateful, but I will
bide my time. Methinks I will soon
be avenged.
I am the “best seller” on the market.
—Puck.
ADVANCE Of PROHIBITION.
The spread of the wave of prohi
bition in the last few years has been
one of the most remarkable features
of American history. Few persons
realize that there are only four
states and one territory in which the
sale of liquor is state wide. Penn
sylvania stand' alone in the East as
a wholly wet state, while Nevada,
Ptah, Wyoming and New Mexico
still uphold the wet banner in the
West. All the rest are either en
tirely dry or partly so through local
option. In every instance the pro
hibitionists have won their way
township by township, county hv
county, until they held a majority
of the counties, and then they have
j pittied the strength of the dry rural
districts against the cities in a fight
for state-wide prohibition. They
now control nearly two-thirds of ti.e
114 counties in Missouri, and are
planning to use this preponderance
to overwhelm the wet sentiment in
the cities. As to the fairnessof this
proposition and whetner it will suc
ceed, is something on which opin
ions differ. —Kansas City Journal,
Quite an Order.
He was out with his best girl,
and as thcy*st rolled into the West
End restaurant he tried to put on
an I-do-this-every-evening kind of
a look. When they were seated at
a table a waiter approached them.
“Will monsier have ala carte or
table d’hote?” he asked.
“Both,” said the young man,
| “and put plenty of gravy on Vnrr”
—Tit-Bits.
l He Understood.
“Now, Johnny, do you under
stand thoroughly why I am going
to whip you?'’
“Ves’m. You're in a bad humor
this morning, and. you’ve got to
lick someone before you feel sati •-
tied.” —London Tit-bits.
