SENT HAIL TO THE MOON
Embryo Man-of-War’s Man at Least
Convinced Officer He Was At
tending to His Duty.
This Is the story of one of the mem
bers of the Massachusetts Naval Re
serves. On the second night of the
cruise of the San Francisco one of
the amateur tars was on watch. The
night was clear, and myriads of stars
twinkled In the sky, but there was no
moon. Suddenly the reserve sang out,
“Light ahoy!” “Where away?” asked
the officer of the deck. “Far, far
away,” replied the would-be man-of
war’s man. When the officer had re
covered from the shock occasioned by
this unseamanlike answer he looked
over the rail in the direction Indicat
ed reserve's finger, and then
be had another fit. “What’s the
matter with you?" growled the officer.
“Can't you recognize the rising moon
when you see It?” “Moon! moon!”
stammered the embryo sea dog. “I
beg your pardon, sir!” Then he
shouted, as If making amends for his
error, “Moon ahoy!”
Digging Spruce Gum.
There will be a crusade in spruce
gum digging In the Maine woods this
winter. About twenty men will leave
Skowhegan within a short time to be
girt gum digging operations near Jack
man. Gum has grown scarce in the
last few years and the demand is so
great that It has become a business to
many Maine men. Last year James
Carey, Frank Croning and Joe Cass
dug 1,300 pounds and sold it all In
Maine. It is estimated that from 50.-
000 to 100,006 pounds will be dug this
season. —Kennebec (Me.) Journal.
Where He Made It.
“Hullo, Binks!" said Wobbles. “I
hear you’ve been In the chicken busi
ness.”
“Yep,” said Binks.
“Made anything out of it?” asked
Wobbles.
“Yep,” said Bink 3. “Ten thousand
dollars.”
“Ten thousand dolars in the chick
en business?” demanded Wobbles.
“Nope. Out of it,” said Binks.—

tionists that he would hold up appro
