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 Star Upon an average 10,000 pineapples are imported into Loudon every week throughout the year 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. Wide World. 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), Baying, “What a brave boy am II” Town Names.

PLAYED AWAB GAME. HOW BIG MAN FLEECED THE SUBSTITUTE BROKERS. Tke TTOeter MX F««i«r Wofkrt Hta Physic*! Defeet <• the Limit M* 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.
