It ma pure case of wilting at the sight Iblood on the part of the officer, al oogb he had been used to violent mes pince his earliest manhood, and : could afford to, and did ackuowl ge it freely. Capt. Gridley, who died at Hong our, whither he was carried very ill ter he had done his share of the lilting with Dewey in Manila Bay, id a similar experience when he was commander. He was in some of the id fighting jobs of the civil war, and ua conspicuously brave and cool- i udedman. When he was promoted i tbe rank of commander his first : lip had as a member of her crew a tcko'-thc-dust, who was a heavy inker, but so valuable a man that f officers overlooked a good many idbrcaks. A Jack-o'-the-dust is the itrikor"' for thc paymaster and the ijmaster's yeoman. Ho holds the te of seaman, and is assigned as Iik o -the-dust to dish out the pro .ioo? io the mess cooks and to act general factortum for the pay office card ship. Gridley had not been in mmand of thc ship for a month be te the Jack-o'-the dust went on a we and had to be pat- in the brig Ku night. Gridley had been ehip ite with the man on and off for Butty years, and liked him, and Bled to 6ee him in trouble. So, Ben the Jack-o'-the-dust got sober Bough Gridley had him brought aft ? the cabin instead of jawing him at gta stick," and gave him as clever a Bo to man talk as a blue jacket ever ?tened to. Then, inBtead of punish Bfbini UH- his spree, he turned him j B-5e- This was on a monthly muster j "ung. The remorseful Jack, on j om findley's kindly talk had press- | heavily, g0t into his mustering ; ?es and appeared . on deck ali ! ^ for muster. When thc men ? te dismissed he weut below to stand i otic ol thc paymaster's store rooms 'Utbe skipper had finished iuspect- ' ' tbe ship. Gridley made a very : >rough inspection of tho ship in DPany with the executive officer, ' the inspection was to wind up ln tbe officers and store rooms in ! after part of the vessel on the lb deck. He walked a few feet ad of the executive officer, and *n he reached the last.paymaster's re rooin ?nd peered inside he fell uito the arms of the executive *r, utterly unconscious. Tile ex lh?e officer called ont for the eur ,Di and then looked into the store m ?o ?ce what had suoh an effect iD tbe cool-headed Gridley. Tho I^tant Jack-o'-the-dust was sitting ?boX()f >;i|t water soap,dead, with tomat eut from car to ear. The "2 make so painful an impression ?D Gridley that he was under thc rtherfor some time, and yet he was l,?J, tDe nerviest men in Uncle D*?ne of fightiog packets, ."engineer cadet, who is now an ^wnt engineer on one of the ornis |J Cuban waters, went ashore in ??lulu to ?ei-h osa! for ^J? ship i horning ?boat five year? ego. i 0 he returned aboard for lunon L*U n?ods were at mess, except a refaced landsmen, a former farm OF COURAGE. fleers of Proved Spirit Int. rk Sun. hand from interior California, who had been the hutt of his mates as au innocent of the rawest kind. This landsman had bolted his dinner and was leauing over the starboard rail, looking no more stupid and inert than he generally did. A big coal lighter was moored alongside the ship, and the cadet in order to get aboard ship bsd to climb from thc steam launch that brought him off onto the lighter, and then pull oimself up on thc Qxcd gangway ladder to thc gangway. There was a space of about two feet between the coal lighter and the ship. Into this space thc cadet, missiug his hold when ho attempted to clutch thc lad der, fell, feet foremost, with a splash. Thc crow of thc t?team launch heard the splash, but did not know what had caused it. It was about 100 to 1 against the cadct'a saving his life by his own efforts, for when he cam ? up his head was due to bump against the bottom of the lighter, and it is a hard proposition even for a good swimmer to keep his nerve under such circum stances. The cadet didn't keep his nerve, and he would surely have been a goner had it not been for the loutish landsman leaning over thc starboard rail. The loutish landsman proved to bc thc right mau. He did not even kick off his (?overnmcnt brogans before he let himself fall into the space between the lighter and tho ship at tlie e>.act point where the cadet had gone down. Thc crew of the steam launch saw thc move and wondered what it meant. They did not know the cadet was underneath the lighter. In about half a minute the moon-faced landsman came from beneath the lighter, and he had the cadet along with him. The cadet, his nerve gone, was very wild, and clutched tho landsman fiercely. The landsman freed his right arm from the grasp of the struggling cadet and gave him a jolt on tho point of the jaw with his big right fist that thc cadet declares he feels yet. The blow put the cadet out of the game altogether, but it saved his life. He would have pulled his rescuer down with him had he not been knocked silly, and this was one of the times when an enlisted man struck an officer without being punished for it. The landsman and the oadet were hauled into the steam launch by the crew, and the ship's company proceeded to hunt up another butt for their humor. The moon faced landsman wasn't made to serve in that capaoity any longor. Not long after thc Atlanta went into commission an apprentice boy who bad been dubbed by his companions the man-o'-war equivalent of a natural, put the whole pack of them into the Bhade by a sudden exhibition of nerve. & gun's crew, including several O? the boys, and this slow-witted boy in par ticular, were engaged in breaking out one of the after magazines. Two of the men were down in the magazine aud fastened cans of powder to thc hoist book, and the rest of the gang were at the head of the magazine hatch handling the ammunition as it came up. The Atlanta wasn't fitted with eleotric lights at that time, and the gunner's mate in charge of the job swung a closed lantern in his hand at thc head of the hatch. He was swing ing it somewhat cerelessly when the lantern struck against one of the sides nf the hatch, and thc lamp, already loosened, fell from the lantern down the hatchway. It fell squarely on the top of a can of powder-a twenty-five pound can. The men down in the magazine had gone way forward to get another can of powder, and they weren't on hand to pick thc lamp off thc powder can and extinguished it. Thc heavy-headed apprentice boy was at the top of thc hatch, though, and he was the only one of the gang who wasn't paralyzed with fear. While all of the others stood waiting for thc Bhip to go into the air, he slid down the hoist chain like a cat descending from a tree. He grabbed the lamp, the wick of which, still ablaze, was . ?._,1 _ jj_J Vt_?A-? ueSbiug t>ue iruu u?u, mu maw tb uui, Then he clutched the handle of the powder can with one hand, took a firm hold on the hoist chain with the other, and yelled : "Shoot me up out o' this, you fel lows above there, quick !" The lad with the can of powder in his hand was at the top of the hatch in no timo. He ran for the poop as soon as he made the spar deck and chucked the can, the lid of which was hot from tho wioL of tho lantern lamp, over tho side into the water. Thc lad certainly saved his ship from being blown.up. The skipper didn't punish thc boy for wasting Government am munition, as maybe taken for granted. Instead, he eommended the lad so highly in a letter to the department that the boy received a sp?cial letter of praise from the Secretary of the Navy. An American sealing vessel, bonnd for Japan and thence to the Aleutian sealing waten, got onto the Frenob Frigate Shoal* a couple of hundred miles ol? the Hawaiian Islands, a few years ago. and began to go to pieces. An American man-o'-war, making soundings down in that neighborhood, sighted the wrecked sealer, and though thc sea was terrific a boat's crew under thc leadership of the chief bo'sun's mate, was put off from the wer ship to sueeor the sealer's crew. The chief bo sun's mato was not a man uotable for nerve. He had, in fact, shown the white feather in two or three mix ups he had with other chief petty oficers of his ship, and he had lost prestige among thc men forward for this reason. When the man-o'-war got within a hundred feet or so of the sealer, which was rapidly going to pieces, the crew of the succoring boat saw, with considerable disgust, that all hands aboard the scaler, including the skipper, were boiling drunk, and were standing maundering to one another, waiting for the last lurch of their ship, instead of making an effort to clear the life boats of thc davits. It was impossible for the war ship's boat to get alongside the wrecked sealer on account of thc giant sea?. The chief bo*sun's mate, who had hitherto lacked the nerve to take his own part in fo'c'sle squabbles, didn't intend to let it go at that, however. He leaped suddenly into the sea, and he had a navy pistol stuck into the bosom of his mustering shirt when he leaped. When he drew uear to the distressed sealer the seas slammed him against thc ship's sides time and again before he was able to clutch at a rail chain to pull himself aboard. He succeeded in climbing aboard final ly, however, and then he made a race forwaid to where the erevr. including the skipper and mates, were huddled around a rum cask, soaking themselves. The chief bo'-sun's mate hopped into tbe middle of the gang of drunkards, whipped out his big navy pistol and made the bluff of his life. The blutf weut. "Cut away the boats, ye sots, and take a chance, or I'll put an ounce of lead into every drunken dog of ye !" he yelled. He covered the crew with his gun as he spoke, and his attitude sobered the men. They lumbered out of the fo'c'sle and, despite their half-help less condition, they got two long boats clear of the davits, and all bands, nineteen men in all of the sealer's erew, got at the oars in the nick of time. The bo'sun's mate went along in one of the long boats, and, followed by the man-o'-war's boat, they all made for the American war ship, whieh was hove to a quarter of a mile away. The sealer went to pieces ten minutes after the crew had left her. The crew was taken to Honolulu by the war ship. The chief bo'sun's mate was afterward regarded by his shipmates as a man who could only be carried along a certain number of knots. Commander ThomaB, formerly of the gunboat Bennington, had bis life saved aboard that ship by a Chingalese naess attendant ia an odd sort of way. He was doing a bit of inspecting on the berth deck, aft, one afternoon, when the executive officer of the ship came to thc head of the after berth deck ladder and shouted down below to anybody within hearing : "Is the captain below there ?" Commander ThomaB heard the call, and, without making any reply to the question, started from the pay office for the ladder, intending to go above to the main deck to see what the first lieutenant wanted. The hatch right at the foot of the ladder had been carelessly left open by a seaman who had gone forward for a bit of gear, and it was dark on the berth deok. The commander had his eyes raised to the head of the ladder, anyhow, as he ap proached thc ladder, and had he made another step he would have plunged to the bottom of the deep hatch and been mangled to bits. Ho was arres ted by hearing a piercing vo;ce behind him exclaim : "Damn the skipper's eyes ! Damn the skipper's eyes 1" With his foot still raised to take tho step that would have plunged him into the hatch, Commander Thomas turnod his head suddenly. , "Who's that?" he asked. Then the Cingalese mess attendant, leaping out of the darkness, had thc skipper clutched by the sleeve, and jerked him back from the open hatch hy main force. Thomas couldn't quite seo into it for a second, until the Cingalese, wno had fortunately picked up English on a British wind-jammer, pointed to the open hatch. The Cin galese explained in his broken dialect that the exclamation he had used was the first bunch of English words that came into his head when he saw the captain's danger. He couldn't remember thc English equivalent of the word "stop" soon enoagh, ho said, and so he had damned the skip per's eyes as the best way of attract ing the officer's attention. "And so the first thing that crops into your head is to damn your skip per's eyes, is it?" asked Thomas of the Cingalese. The man got a!! thc best of it on the Bennington after that. An ordinance sergeant stationed at one of the Pacific coast artillery posts went soddenly imane a few years ago. His mind had boen disturbed for some time by thc hard-heartedness of a young woman who declined to marry him. On thc day that his wits went completely away he made for the magazines with thc intention, as he quietly announced to a young Swedish recruit whom he met on the way, of blowing them up. Thc Swede's eyes stuck out at this, but he wa3 one of the tribe of quick thinkers. "Ay tank Ay'll go alang an' hain," said he to the crazy ordnance ser geant, whose eyes gleamed with in sanity. Thc sergeant made no re sponse, and the Swedish recruit walked after him. Thc sergeant opened the door of one of the main magazines, that held many thousands of pounds of black smooth-bore powder, and started to break out a big box of it. Thc Swede saw that thc crazy man actually intended to blow up the magazine. When he was convinced of this bc picked up a shellbar, waited for the insane man to turn his back and banged him over the hendjwith it. Then he carried the crazy ordnance sergeant on his back to the guard house. Thc Swedish recruit was a corporal the ucxt day.

On his assurance that he would take no mean advantage, but run thc same risk as the rest, all the members of the party consented, and between $l?ri and $JU were soon laid upon the table. The actor added his mark to the pile with a cunning smile, and then said : "Now, which of you ladies ami gen- ! tlcmcn have the greatest number of j false teeth ?" Deathlike stillness for thc space of ! one minute, then a burst of laughter, both hearty and, in some cases, forced "1 have three," continued the actor. "Who has got more ?" The comedian took thc poid. - .- - ^ . ^ Melon Story. "My grandfather was very proud of his melon patch," said the man who was telling the story, "and when that big melon began to spread about he was happy. Well, that melon kept on gro\ ing, and finally it became a question of whether they should move the house or cut thu melon. Grand father thought a great deal of that melon, and he didn't like to cut it until it was fully ripe. Ile thought it over a great deal, and finally decided to move the house. A dozen men were employed, and the house was moved. Hut that melon kept on grow ing until ii became necessary to move thc barn or cut the melon. (?rand fathcr had the barn moved, and then the fence. At last the melon was ripe. Ile determined to have a regular water melon feast, so he invited the neigh bors for miles around. He employed two men with cleaves to cut the melon. At last thc eventful day arrived, and hundreds of people stood around with open eyes and mouths. Finally thc melon was eut open, and to the dis may of all it was found to be hollow. A ?negro named Sam Johnson was inside. Ile had tunneled his way under the melon, cut a hole, and eaten his way through.
