HE WANTED THE SHIP
THOUGHT HE WAS ELIGIBLE TO COH
. MAND A OftIMSER.
Tke Shabby Trlek Played I'm* a
Patristic Greek Boiler Maker by
Some es Vaele Sam’e Ballon With
Wham He Had Shlyyed.
'’About four years ago the cruiser on
which I was serving shipped- a boiler
maker while we were on the Mediter
ranean station,” said a Washington
chief petty officer of the navy, now on
leave of absence. “Our former boiler
maker’s time expired while we were at
Gibraltar and as he Was not in good
physical shape he wasn’t re-enlisted,
but took his discharge and returned to
the United States by mail steamer. So
the ship was shy a boiler maker, a very
important and necessary petty officer
down-below in the-engineer’s derert
ment, and when the ship pulled into
Naples harbor the chief engineer went
ashore th see if heoeuldn’t dig up a
boiler maker.
“There’s a clause to the enlistment
regulations permitting commanding
officers to ship necessary men on foreign
stations in abort handed xmezgenoies.
The chief engineer brought back to the
ship a Greek named Charlie Maro. The
man couldn't speak any English—to
apeak of—but he- was a good man at
the boiler making business, and be was
duly shipped aboard of ns for three
years. He was a Wild, hairy looking
lot, Maro he got a good deal
of n laugh at the hands of the crew, es
pecially the. younger fellow,, from the
time be -first came over the Mde.
“Maro thought that there Wasn’t
any other country onthe map except
Greece. ,Ue thought toat the ‘Greeks
man* was the' hottest kind of a tamale
WbeH it came' to scrapping by tend or
sea, and after be got ’hold of enough
English to make himself understood be
treed to take some of the young appren
tice boys up into the-byes of the ship
snd tell them With many gesticulations
and furious words of the different kinds
of tarGreehe Would knock out pf Turkey
if the two countries ever exine to an
open rupture.
. "The ship was around on the Pacific
station when the war broke out between
Greece and Turkey. -When the news of
the out break of thewar got to Maro, our
boiler maker, be newly had heart dis
ease and a whole lot of other sudden
things from pure excitement. He just
couldn’t hold himself in, he looked so
tickled.
‘"Da Greeks man willa bim! bim!
biml da Turka man,’ was Charlie
Maro’s way of putting it, and he didn’t
see that the Turk bad a ghost of a show.
All hands forward encouraged him fa
the belief. They all aqqviesoed in ex
pressing the belief to Etato that Gresss
would simply eat Turkey up. Then a
bo’sun’s mate who knew how to crack
the most impossible kind of steers with
a face as solemn and wooden as an In
dian’s took Charlie in hand and told
him some things. He told Maro that the
United States was so much in sympathy
with Greeoe in the struggle with Turkey
that the navy department had decided
to turn over all of the ships of the
American navy to Greek commanders.
“ ‘Here’s a big chance for you,
Maro,* the bo’sun’s mate told Maro.
‘You just w«Bt to work your edge.
Here you are already shipped on this
cruiser, and it’s dollars to doughnuts
that if you ask for the command of this
ship in order to take her over to Greece
to mix it up with the Turks you’ll get
it hands-down. Better try it on. *
“That idea impressed Maroa heap.
He asked the bo’sun’s mate whom he’d
have to apply to to get command of the
cruiser. \
** ‘Why, to the commanding officer,
of course, ’ was the reply.
“Maro was tremendously important
so while he let this huge
idea grow within him, and be bullied
the men detailed to work with him
down below in the boiler room a good
deal. The bos’n’s mate kept working
him up to it, and finally Maro appeared
on deck one morning togged out in his
very best mustering suit of bluejacket
clotbee and went up to the officer of the
deck and asked permission to see the
commanding officer at the mast. The
officer of the deck was rather surprised
to see the man all done up fa his mus
tering togs when all hands were at
work, but, as be is obliged to do when
an enlisted man requests permission to
see* the commanding officer, he sent
word to the skipper, who soon emerged
from his cabin and appeared at 'the
stick.’
“ ‘Well, »yman? said the skipper
to Maro, who stood bolt upright and
saluted with a fiouxtab.
" • Bare, ’ said Maro-to the skipper, ‘I
have-a da honor to ber-a-by taka da com
mand of a da chip.’
" ‘Hey?’ said the commanding offi
cer, putting bis hand to his ear and
looking as if be hadn’t heard aright
" ‘Da ship,’ repeated Maro. ‘For-a
da navee of-a Hellas—da Greeks navee
-I bava da honor to taka da command.'
“AU hands among the enlisted men
were up on the to’gallant fo’otale tak
ing the thing in, and they broke into a
roar that you coaid have beard fiva
cable lengths’ distance. Maro heard it,
and, suspecting that his confidence had
been abused, got red and flabbergasted.
He suddenly bolted for the engine room
hatch and made his way below, and it
took three marines to drag bim aft to
the rick bay, where the surgeon, at the
skipper’s command, gave Maroa half
hour’s examination as to his sanity.
Maro was game enough to decline to
give the name of the enlisted man who
had told him be was eligible for the
command of the ship upon its being
‘turned into the navy of Greece,”but
the thrashing be gave that bos’n’s
mate when be got him ‘on the beach*
was certainly savage. ”—Washington

A CHINESE WEDDINCt
CverrtMmr Ceaaeet«« Wltbtta O—
■•■lm la DevkaU la *•*.
The Chinese place a significance upon
every color, and in connection with •
wedding red obtains a deep, rooted,
mysterious importance, the nekt bridal
color in value being gold. At a be
trothal the bridegroom elect sends hie
sweetheart a pair of bracelets fastened
together with a piece of red ribbon or
cotd. The bride and bridegroom drain
two wine- cups at the wbdding, which
are also connected by a ted cord. In
northern China the attendants wear
tall felt hats, and each bat has a red
feather stuck upright in it The attend
ants also carry the -wedding presents.
A sedan chair bears the bride herself.
In south China a sedan most wonder
fully gilded is used by the wealthy
classes, and it is decorated with what
appears at first sight to be brilliant in
laid stones, but which are in reality
the glossy feathers of the kingfisher. A
handsome cloth of glowing red with
trimmed border is a)so thrown over the
chair.
In the case of the poorer classes red
is also the prevailing bridal color, and
a chair of ordinary carved wood, paint
ed a bright red, is used. Above the door
of the chair a kind of charm is placard
ed or hung upon a red cloth. The chair
itself is sent by the bridegroom, accom
panied by what corresponds to cur best
man. This functionary brings with him
a letter written in yellow or gold upon
red paper, praying the lady to entau
and take her place. *
Men dressed all in red and carrying
red parcels containing the presents fall
into the procession. Other bearers cany
boards and banners, inscribed in golden
letters upon a red ground. These ban
ners tell the pedigree of both parties.
Behind the bearers come the other at
tendants, with long poles, on which are
hung very handsome lanterns. The
bride’s veil is of 1 bright crimson hue
and her dress regal gold and scarlet.

JACK HORNER.
The Rich Flam That He Extracted
From That Chriatmae Pie.
For the benefit of those who >are not
quite little folks Agnes Carr Gage, in
Lippincott’s Magasine, tells the origin
and history of some famous nursery
stories and rhymes, among them ‘‘The
Pleasant History of Jack Horner,” con
taining "His Witty Tricks and Pleas
ant Pranks,” for so it is set forth in a
very old chapbook, carefully preserved
in the Bodleian library.
It appears that this worthy was stew
ard to an abbot of Glastonbury. The
good abbot learned that his majesty
Henry VIII had seen fit to be indignant
because the monks bad built a kitchen
which he oould not burn down. Now, a
king’s indignation was dangerous and
must be appeased. Therefore the abbot
sent his steward, Jack Horner, to pre
sent the sovereign with a suitable peace
offering. It took the form of aMg and
tempting looking pte, beneath thedrml
of which the tranrter deedrf *f 13 xnhn
ors were hidden.
But Master Jack had an eye for the
profit of No. 1, and on the road he
slyly lifted the crust and abstracted the
deeds of the Manor of Wells. On his
return, bringing the deeds, he plausibly
explained that they had been given to
him by the king; hence the rhyme:
Little Jack Horner
Bat in a corner (of the wagon),
Eying hia Christmas pie;
He put in his thumb
And pulled out a plum (the title deed),

Beene* * Rich Harvest While the
Onynrtaalty LasteU.
During the civil war in what was
then a pretty village of Michigan and
kA* since become a city witbout lasing
any of its beauty lived a strapping six
footer who looked as hard as nails,
dressed well, talked smoothly and was
set up like a soldier. He had no means
of rapport visible to the naked eye in
the village which he called home, but
he would make occasional tripe fror.i
which he returned with plenty of
money and a fund of interesting talk
about some section of the north. The
people thought him a mystery, but be
was a pleasant one, and curiosity never
went further than to ask ingenious ques
tions that were just as ingeniously par
ried. After his harvest was at an end
the mystery explained himself without
reserve, and no one expressed serious
disapproval of the -way in which his
wits had won him his money.
‘‘lt was a simple case of diamond cut
diamond,” he laughed. ‘‘l’ve been tak
ing fleeces from the fellow that went
out to shear. I’m not an Apollo Belve
dere, Diomedes or Samson in appear-
ance, but I pass in a crowd as a fine
specimen of physical development. The
truth is that I’m a whited sepulcher. I
was born with a defective heart and
would not take three minutes of real
violent exercise for all the money you
could load on a freight train. I take
things easy all along the line, and the
engine keeps pumping up to require
ments.
"When I oould see the tad of what
property was left me, and it was not far
away, I oast about for some light work
to do and concluded to deal with the
substitute brokers. There was no chance
of meeting the required medical exam
inations, rfo I took another tack. When
ever I visited a place in my business,
I’d manage incidentally to fall in with
the broker. I’m better than a raw hand
as a jollier, and I’d soon have some
mutual friends as innocent partial in
the nlwr.
“When it came in naturally, I’d
chaff the broker about his business and
ask wlfat kind of a soldier I’d make.
He would either jump open mouthed at
the proposition or chaff back under an
impression that I would never think of
going to war. In either case it would
usually come to some kind of a proposi
tion from the broker. Then the other
fellows would guy me, intimate that I
Was a bluffer and wonder how I was to
get out of the thing without a clear
funk.
“Here’s where my fine work came in.
I’d demand a retainer, and I’d put it
high enough just to make the broker
think that I was trying to escape him.
If he would pay me a specified sum
down, I would agree to appear at the
recruiting office the next day and offer
my services, but I gave notice that I
assumed no chances. If they would not
have me, the broker must stand the
loss. The idea of my being rejected al
ways raised a laugh and only tended to
confirm the broker in the belief that I
was trying to escape him. When the
doctor turned me down, I went into the
dumps, became nervously timid, aroused
the sympathy of those with whom I had
become acquainted and snapped an or
der to the disgruntled broker to keep
clear away from me.
“The best haul I made was in Pitts
burg. A coal baron there who could not
well enlist and who had not been draft
ed wanted representative in the army
who would make a name honorable to
that of the principal. He was after a
big, handsome, intelligent fellow of
whom he could be proud and put the
whole matter into the hands of a shrewd
little broker. I managed to meet him
at the Monongahela House, and I work
ed around to the main subject in the
manner I have described, but I could
see that he was sharp and did not like
to run any chances.
“While he went to dinner, after
which we were to resume our talk, I
went out and had a short conference
with a huge truckman. When I again
met the broker, that truckman insisted
on bothering us and, after showing a
proper amount of patience, I threw him
half way across the office, and he went
limping out, while all observers grew
wide eyed in their wonder. I did not
exert enough strength to throw a half
grown boy five feet, but the truckman
knew his business, and was paid >BO for
attending to it.
“That apparently cool courage and
gigantic strength removed all doubt
from the mind of the broket'. I was the
man he wanted, and fab wanted me
badly. -I stuck out till I got fB,OOO as
a ‘retainer, * and then was rejected. I
felt like giving the money back when
-the millionaire came around to condole
with me and tall how disappointed he
was in not having me for a substitute,
but I didn’t. It would have been an ad
mission thgt I was not tn a legitimate
