DECORATED HIS SHIP.
Sir John Had Llttls Paint and a Fine
Sense of Humor
It Is not often the administration of
England's naval affairs Is attended
With any humorous features, but, on
one occasion at least an officer of the
royal navy contributed quaintly to the
archives of the admiralty.
Once, before the days of steel ships,
the allowance of paint in the royal
navy was very small, and Homotlmes
the officers had to pay largo sums In
order that their ships might maintain
a decent appearance. Sir John Phllll
more resorted to a funny expedient
either to soften the heart of the navy
board or, If that proved Impossible,
to express tfls opinion He painted one
?ide of his yellow frigate black und
white and used the rest of the black
paint in printing on the other Hide In
large letters. "No <nore paint!"
The navy board wrote to rail hl?.
attention to the Impropriety of tils
condtr.-t 'lgn"?l fheui ve* i
they did officially, "Your uffectionute
friends." Sir John made reply that
he could not obliterate the objection
able letters unless be were jrlven more
paint and signed himself. In turn.
"Tour affectionate friend, John Phllll
more."
*rhe naval authorities then called his
attention to the Impropriety of the
aignature, to which Sir John respond
ed, acknowledging the letter, stating
he regretted that the paint had not
boon sent and ending, "I am no longer
yonr affectionate friend. John Phllll
more."
Hla frigate was permitted to retain
bar original yellow, and thus the
navy board punished Sir John's im
pertinence.

A (Quaker Woman's Sermon.
From Historic Cntudeu.
Hoar Friends: There ar? three
things I very much wonder. The
first Ik, that children should lio no
foolish aw to throw up stones, and
brickbats and clubs into fruit, trecti,,.
to knock down the fruit; if they
would lot it alone, It would fall < f
Itself.
The Bocond in, tiiat men should
bo ho foolish and even wicked -a^
to go to war and kill one* anolli' t f
if thoy would only lot one auulhiiv
alone, thoy would die of themselves..
And vtho third and last thing, 1
wonder at most of all, In that younr
men Hhould bo bo unwise as lu .
after the young Women; if tlic\
would only stay at homo, tho young
women would come aftor them.
Dentil of an Infant.

learn of the death of tho Infant
child of Mr. and Mrs. James Stew

A WATCH chain it intended to answer a two fold purpose/to.
protect your watch from lots and at the sane time to add to
your appearance. There is bo other piece of jewelry worn ly|g
men that combines so much adornment and utility, and that is so
necessary to the wtH dressed man. 0?r watch chains for men
combine both of these requirements and cost no mora than other
chains, which like one or both of the qualities. Lack all other
goods we carry they are standard makes and the prices are low.
