"Owing to a Nebraska smash-up I
got left in a little Nebraska town one
night a year ago," said a drummer,
"and the way I came into contact with
a trust made my hair stand up. It was
a wretched town and a still worse hotel.

with a bill of $4.
44 'Is this correct?' I asked as I looked
at the figures.
44 'Entirely so,' he replied.
44 Then you are a blamed old highway
robber.'
"The landlord had three sons, and
when they began to mix in I turned on
them and gave 'em some redhot talk.
When I stopped for breath the old
man, who turned out to be a justice of
the p?ace, sat down in his chair and
calmly announced:
44 'Hear ye! Hear ye! I now declare
this court open. Hames, have you any
business?"
44 *1 have,' replied his eldest son, who
announced to me that he was a constable
and that I was under arrest. He
then made a charge against me, one of
the other brothers testifying as to my
language, and his honor fined me $10.
As the third brother hadn't taken any

asked:
44 'Where do you come in?'
44 'Me?' he replied. Oh, I'm the town
marshal, and as you are evidently a
desperate character I shall have to
lock you up for a couple of days and
then run you out of town.'
"It was a nice little family trust,

Her Sincerity Questioned.--Congressman
Bingham is telling about the
very handsome and popular wife of a
senator who has been well to the fore
in Washington affairs since last December,
says the Philadelphia Times.
Mrs. Senator was recently accosted at
a very fashionable reception by an
overdressed, affected woman, the wife
of a western lobbyist, and asked:
"Have we met before? Your face
seems very, very familiar to me."
"I do not think we've met," replied
Mrs. Senator, graciously. "Perhaps,
you've seen my pictures. There have
been many of them in the magazines
recently."
"That's it!" exclaimed the stranger.
"I've seen you in the magazines. And
I want you to tell me, if you will, is
that soap you indorse really as good as
you say it is?' N
Why She Liked Shop Talk.?They
had been talking at the rate of fully 18
to the dozen, those two fair young damsels,
and the subject of their conversation
was, of course, the wise and witty
sayings, the charms of manner and
other admirable traits of character
possessed by their respective sweethearts.
"Don't you like to have anybody talk
shop when they come to see you?" gurgled
Mary.
"Indeed I do. Who's been talking
shop to you?"
"Oh, Charlie, of course! He's a tram
conductor, you know, and nearly every
time goes on with the shop talk."
"What does he say?"
"Sit closer, please."?London Answers.
Wasted Energy?"Mad!" he exclaimed.
"Of course, I'm mad. I tell
you what we need in this world is some
good system of general thought transference
or mind reading. You know
how hard I worked to get Margaret."
"Yes."
"Just gave all my waking thoughts
to the subject, neglected my business,
and all that, and made a fool of myself
generally."
"Hut you succeeded."
"Oh, yes; we're engaged. And now
#that we have exchanged confidences I
find that she was working just as hard
to get me, and it makes us both mad to
think of the waste of effort."
Frontier Judge and Jury.?A group
of representatives were in the cloakroom
telling stories of their experience
in court, when Delegate Smith contributed
this incident from Arizona, says
I the Washington Post.
Out in one of the border towns a case
was in progress, one of the lawyers being
an eastern man who was new to
the country.
"Will you charge the jury, your honor?"
he asked.
"Oh. no, I guess not," replied the
judge, "I never charge them anything.
They (ion l Know mucn anyway, auu
I let 'em have all they can make."
An Opportunity.?"And how Is the
poor lady on your first floor?" asked
? fine dame who was district visiting.
"Very sadly, ma'am," replied the
lodging house keeper. She'll hardly
last over the night."
"Dear dear!" rejoined the sympathetic
inquirer. "Is she conscious?"
"Only at times, ma'am; just between
the tits, you kiiov.
"Ah, yes, very sad, very sad Indeed!
Next time she comes to I wish you'd
ask her the address of her laundress.
She was a very good one, I recollect,
and worked cheap."?London Tit-Bits.
Tub Inbpficacy ok Words.?"The
older I got," said Mr. Bliggings, reflectively,
"the more I am inclined to
distrust conversation."
"Have you been mislead again?"
"Yes. I expected that the trusts
would be annihilated six weeks ago.
I have observed with sorrow that while
there is much talk of putting down the
trusts they never get put down. On
the other hand the trusts never say
a word about putting up prices. But
the prices go up, just the same."

ASPECTRAL
SEA FIGHT
[Original.]
It was the 23d of September, 1879. ,
I was alone on a wreck in the German i
ocean. There were neither provisions <
nor means of propelling the vessel. I i
gave myself up for lost. '
1 was lying on the deck only partly 1
conscious when I heard, or thought I
heard, a ship's bell. It struck six times,
and I knew that the hour was 7 o'clock, j
I knew it was evening, for the full '
moon mingled Its rays with the long 1
twilight of that high latitude. Rising, :
I crawled to the gunwale and looked
over the starboard quarter.
' * ? ?1 +l>/\ <-if o ?n onH otrlrxno ^
A. vessel Ujrlli? Hie niuia Huu ouipva
was sailing past with all her canvas 1
set. And what a vessel! She was J
built up very high In the poop and cut
away at the bow, a sort of prow projecting
with a figurehead. She was a '
man-of-war, with ports open, showing
the muzzles of her guns. I counted 1
fourteen guns 011 her main deck and
four astern on a deck below. This was
her broadside. The officers wore a 1
uniform which I had seen In pictures ]
of a hundred or more years ago. A <
slender man stood on the quarter deck
with a glass to his eye. Looking in the J
direction It pointed, I saw another ship 1
similar In build, also a man-of-war. 1
The British ensign was at her peak. (
There were other vessels scattered <
about, but 1 took no notice of them, >
being profoundly interested in these J
two, evidently about to meet In combat '
The American wore ship and backed 1
his topsail, bringing his broadside to '
bear on the Englishman. I saw a man 1
on the latter cry out, evidently to hall 1
the other, but heard no sound. A sec- '
ond time he hailed. I saw smoke 1
plumes leap from the American's side,
and still I beard no sound.
I was too weak to stand longer and I
sank back on the deck. On the one ]
hand was the moon silently mounting 1
the sky, on the other the fierce though <
silent battle. Both pussed from my 1
vision for a time, for 1 became uncon- 1
scious, but when I recovered and rose 1
to look over the gunwale there were 1
the two men-of-war locked In an em- '
brace of war. j
It was uow night, and 1 could see ]
only by moonlight. The American was 1
lashed to the Englishman's forward '
anchor. The man I had seen on the ]
quarter deck was firing shots at his ene- {
tnies, who seemed to be endeavoring to
cut the vessels loose. Marines were ?
loading the pieces for him, and be '
picked off every man who approached j
the lashings. Meanwhile the Britisher <
was tiring her guns right through the ]
American's main deck. I could see that ]
the American's dark hulk had settled ,
in the water. Then a light burst forth ]
between decks. "She will burn if she ,
j ?- ~i~l' " unl/l "nnH cho dt)1]
UUl'b UUl aiilix, t otwu, uuv. w?_
siuk if she docs not burn."
And then cuuie the strangest thing of
all. I could see by the tirellght men
on the doomed vessel bailing water
that was sinking the ship to put out
the fire. Lushed to a stronger ship,
burning, sinking, broadsides continually
pouring through her, she was still
endeavoring to conquer. Was there
ever pluck like that on sea or land?
Surely there must be some god of war
| on that wrecked vessel to breathe the
spirit of invincibility into its unconquerable
crew.
And there was. On the deck stood
the slender mau, he who with his own
hands kept his enemy from the lashings,
lighted by tire and moon, gesticulating,
doubtless swearing, directing
every detail, every man to do the
part assigned him, and inspiring all
with his own marvelous courage.
The American had ceased firing with
her cannon. At any rate, she was so
wrapped with the other in smoke that
if she fired I could not tell. Sailors
with muskets were on the foretop, the
maintop, the fnlzzentop; marines were
on the quarter deck, the poop deck and
top of the roundhouse. They were firing
muskets and hand grenades, but as
their enemies were all on the lower
deck they were protected. Men crawled
out on a yurdarm of the American
and dropped hand grenades on the
enemy, one of which fell in an open
hatchway and exploded below with a
terrific sound. Soon after this a sailor
leaped over the Britisher's rail, followed
by boarders, and in a few minutes
the British ensign was hauled
down.
This is the last I remember of the
night. When I came to consciousness
again, the sun stood where the moon
had been and was blinding me with
his Intense light. Rising, I swept the
horizon with my eye. Not a vessel was
In sight. The sea rolled on smoothly,
silently, as If it had never been disturbed
by the reverberation of guns.
One effect remained with me. If
those men on that burning, sinking vessel
could conquer, why should I despair?
Going below. I found fishing
tackle and an ax. With the ax I sacrificed
my own finger and with this for
bait caught a fish. I had matches in
my pocket and made a fire, heated sea

WILL SHOOT 21 MILES.
Tlie Greatent Cannon In the World
Completed at Watervllet.
There has just been completed at the
United States arsenal at Watervllet, N.
Y., a 16-lnch B. L. rifle, which, according
to Colonel J. P. Farley, of the ordnance
department of the United States
army, is the most powerful gun in the
world. It is the first of a series of similar
gigantic weapons to be constructed
for the coast defense of the United
States. The Endlcott board, which was
appointed during the first administration
of Grover Cleveland, had the whole
subject of seacoast defense under consideration
for a considerable period of
time, and reached the conclusion that
18 of these weapons should be provided
for the protection of New York, that
10 of them should be mounted at San
Francisco, 8 at Boston and 4 at Hampton
Roads.
Other rifled guns of large caliber
heretofore constructed are the Italian
gun, caliber 17.76 inches, the French
gun of 16.5-inch caliber, and the Armstrong
gun of 16.25-inch caliber, which
is carried on the battle ships Benbow
and Sans Pareil. Not one of these
compares, in point of energy and range,
with the 16-inch gun just completed for
Uncle Sam. The range and energy of
A morlnon mm will vorv with thp
quality and amount of powder used,
and the question of the actual performance
of the gun can therefore only
be determined by actual trial tests.
With smokeless powder as at present
proposed, the gun requires a powder
charge of 576 pounds, but if the old
black powder is used 1,176 pounds will
be required. With a maximum powder
pressure of between 37,000 and 38,000
pounds to the square inch it is estimated
that the gun will throw a projectile
weighing 2,370 pounds with a muzzle
velocity of 2,300 feet per second, developing
a muzzle energy of 88,000 foot
tons; out it is not improbable tnat by
using a slower burning powder, giving
a less maximum pressure, the gun
would develop even greater velocity and
and energy than this, with a relatively
small increase in the chamber pressure.
Even on the basis given above, however,
this gun shows enormous superiority
to any of the large' guns above
mentioned. The Itanan gun, for instance,
throws a projectile weighing
2,000 pounds with a muzzle velocity of
1,700 feet per second and an energy of
only 40,000 foot ions, considerably less
than one-half that of the new American
weapon. The French gun throws
a projectile weighing 1,700 pounds with
a muzzle velocity of 1,700 feet per second
and develops a maximum energy
of 36,000 foot tons. The English gun
throws a projectile weighing 1,800
pounds with a muzzle velocity of 2,100
feet per second and a total energy of
51,000 foot tons. The maximum energy
of the Italian, French and English guns
is thus 45, 41 and 65 per cent., respectively,
of that of the American gun.
The most spectacular feature in connection
with Uncle Sam's big gun is its
enormous range, which is estimated at
about 21 miles, or, to be exact, 20.978
miles. This theoretical range has been
calculated by Maj,'rJames H. Ingalls,
Fifth United States artillery, for many
years instructor at the artillery school
for officers at Fort Monroe, Va. His
firing table, prepared especially for this
gun, shows that the above range is ob
tainable with a muzzle velocity of 2,300
feet per second, with the necessary angle
of elevation of the piece, and that
in ranging to the distance indicated the
shell would reach the maximum elevation
of 30,516, feet, or a little short of
six miles. This is much greater than
the maximum range hitherto obtained
by any other gun, the record of actual
performance at present standing to the
credit of the Krupp 9.45-inch gun,
which was fired in the presence of the
emperor of Germany on April 28, 1892.
The measured range was found to be
22,120 yards, or, roughly speaking, 121
miles. The greatest height reached by
the Krupp shell in its flight was '21,456
feet, or a little more than four miles,
and the time occupied between the firing
of the gun and the striking of the
projectile was 70.2 seconds. It was
pointed out that had this gun been
placed at Pre St. Didier, in the Alps,
elevated to 44 degrees, and fired, its
shell would have ranged 8,956.8 feet
higher than Mont Blanc, and its fall
would have been in the neighborhood
of Chamounix, on the other side of the
mULMllctlMS.
But this performance, great as It was,
becomes positively insignificant compared
with the capabilities of the new
American gun. If the latter were set
up at the battery, at the lower end of
Manhattan Island, in the city of New
York, Its estimated range of 21 miles
means that its projectiles would be carried
northward as far as Hastings-on
the-Hudson: northeasterly as far as
New Rochelle; southerly, far above and
beyond the southern extremity of Staten
Island: westerly several miles beyond
Patterson. The extreme* height
of the trajectory of the gun being, as
already said, 30,516 feet, it follows that
its shell would be thrown to a height
ecpial to the combined height of Mont
Blanc and Pike's Peak, with about 600
feet to spare.
The contract for the forgings of the
16-inch gun was let to the Bethlehem
Steel company on December 30, 1896, to
be delivered within 18 months; but oth
er types 01 guns Demg more urgently
demanded, work on these forgings was
not commenced till May 14, 1898. From
that time the work was carried forward
as expeditiously as desired by the
government.
The total length of the lC-inch monster
is 49 feet 2.9 inches. The length of
the main bore is 37 feet 4.5 inches, with
a diameter of 16 inches. The nickel
steel ingot from which the tube for this
gun was cast at the Bethlehem works
weighed 222,300 pounds, or 99.2 gross
tons, and the gun, as it rests in the arsenal
at Watervleit, almost ready for
shipment to Sandy Hook, where it is to
be tested, weighed 252,000 pounds, of 126
tons.
Here are a few other interesting facts
relative to the big gun:
Length of the projecti.e, 5 feet 4
inches.
Penetration of steel, estimated, 42.3
inches.
Cost of firing the gun once $1,000.
Weight of the tube alone, 33 tons.
Weight of tube, jacket, and hoops,
98.5 tons.
Just when the gun will be tested is
not yet known, probably not before
late fall. No carriage has been made
for it, and several months will probably
elapse before this additional work
Is completed. If the gun comes up to
the requirements of the ordinance board
it will no doubt be permanently installed
at Sandy Hook, and work on other
guns of like caliber, for Boston, San
Francisco, and Hampton Roads will be
undertaken as soon as possible.?Chicago

THE USE OF COTTON SEED OIL AS
FOOD.
How K Came Into General Use and Why it
Gained in Popularity-"lt is Safe
and Wholesome.
From the earliest Bible times to the
present day nations of the countries
surrounding the Mediterranean have
made the oil of the olive one of their
principal articles of diet. It is used In
all cooking operations and replaces the
butter and lard of the nations in northern
Europe. There is no question but
what a pure vegetable oil is a most
useful and healthy article of diet. We
never read of dyspepsia and troubles
of a similar nature among the people
of the Levant, doubtless because the
fat taken as a necessary part of a well
regulated diet is always taken as a
pure vegetable oil. In our own country
up to within the last few years
oil has been used but little as an article
of diet, except by Europeans who
have made their homes in our midst.
We have clung to the traditions of our
Saxon ancestors and used the hard fats
prepared from hogs and cattle. The
people 01 mis country are uegiiiiiuiB iu
realize their mistake. Throughout our
southern States we have trees, small
it It true, but great In numbers, which
produce a fruit far more wonderful
than the olive, we refer to our cotton
plant. Its fiber clothes the world, its
seed yields an oil which is unrivaled
in sweetness and purity by the finest
product of the pressed olive.
Cotton seed oil was refined In small
quantities prior to the Civil war. It
found its way to Europe and came back
In fancy bottles mixed with olive oil.
In the early 80's the production of the
oil Increased rapidly. Great quantities
finding their way to Chicago in mysteriously
marked packages, the contents
of which properly blended with other
material, traveled all over the world in
the form of lard. (,
About the year 1887 it was discovered
that the amount of lard shipped from
Chicago greatly exceeded the weight
of all the hogs received and an investigation
was instituted by Congress
which brought forth the Information
that the product of the cotton seed was
entirely unobjectionable as an article
of diet and liable to be preferred by
many to that of the hog. For various
reasons our people have always been
prejudiced against the oil itself, though
eating large quantities of it in the
form of lard compound. This prejudice
is no doubt largely due to the
faulty refining methods used by many
of the manufacturers who turned out
an oil of unpleasant flavor which gave
off very disagreeable odors in cooking.
Modern science has shed its rays on
this great product of our section and
the oil is now produced in enormous
quantities, absolutely free from odor
and flavor and almost colorless. Shipped
in barrels it finds its way into the largest
bake shops of the country, where
it takes the place of many tons of lard
and butter. Packed in hermitically
sealed cans it is invading kitchens of
our best families. It is making friends
everywhere. The greatly extended use
of cotton seed oil in the household has
added greatly to the wealth of our farmers
by making a sure market for all
the seed which they can produce. This
rapid increase in the use of the oil has
only been made possible by improved
refining methods which were the results
of long, patient and expensive experiments
by the leading company in
the business. Such experiments could
