THE WALKING SAILOR. Mnd if it be a boy he shall fisht for his king, TSTita his dirk, and his cap, and his Utile jacket blue, 3Io shall walk the quarter deck as Ms daddy used to do." But he shall not walk the quarter deck as his father used to walk it. Time has left him his cap and little Jacket; but his dirk has been sup planted by a dinky dress sword -which would not halve a cheese, and now he shall no longer employ the gait of his daddy and his daddy's daddies in his constitutional prorne aades. The foregoing old English lallad which naval officers once loved to sing when they made port to fill the water butts with water and themselves with something else, 20 longer possesses a literal signlfl 'cance. For the naval department of the United States government has de cided that the gentlemen sailor shall 3eam to walk as landsmen walk Scad up, shoulders back, thigh, knee .ind foot moving as a piston without listing either to the right or the 3eft, Arrangements are being made far cross country hikes in which the o3cer of the navy will be reluctant participants. The men who work the aigs ships must understand that the rolling carriage of the briny-eyed seaman is not deemed correct any mate. And it they are good and faithful servants of the'r govern ment they will strive to acquire the graceful strides of the salon beau, Trhicn is neither the wincing step of the tight wire artist, nor the strad dling gait of the plowman, but which fs a modification of both ,and which furthers, without discursiveness, the jrogress of the body along the short est line that can be marked between the starting and the objective points. FIftv mile marches across fields and meadows, over hills and through rallevs. will be conducted for the ieneflt of naval officers. They will kj accompanied by a staff of medical experts who will take their tempera lure from time to time, listen for wheezy hearts, watch and correct the action of perverse limbs, and offer gentle admonition and soft encour agement to the laggards who pull liacJc along the prescribed course. A ?iw repositions of this sort will give Ihe maritime soldiers the desired lis somenoss and grace, or else excuse for quitting the navy. This being nly an experiment It is impossible la say which beforehand. Many persons w'U no doubt won jter what difference it can make whether the men who command the ships of war become first rate pe tfestrians. The promenade deck of the largest ship that ever floated of fers a space only too small for the rtrhluitton of an attainment which, ibvlQUsly Is Indigenous to terra feina alono. But with tho exception f tlio venerable Weston and a few of Me professional rivals, men do not nralk to exhibit their prowess, but loroly for the mtrposo of arriving at somo designated place, or to ox crclBO their functions. Thero being no place aboard ship nt which ono cannot arrive from any other place J11 a skip or two, thero remains but nno reason why tho seafaring man ftoiiId become an expert traveler afoot; because he should keep him v.lt hard and healthy and fit. It will bo inspiring of moonlit minings when tho war vessels nro Tiding tho placid sea and tho band is jilajlng appropriate melodies, to see JHw officers strolling upon tho decks rittt Ann, self-confldont strides, all Sv tlo snko of tho digestion nud tho Ktrtuftl saving of government pepsin Ttcffli, as it frequently happens, when Iks sailors have nn opportunity to Utmi and attorn official hops or on jwbt fa. formnl parades on tho streots HT ilirofgn capitals, what a fine i&uig It is to know what tho officers uf the navy, who havo already broken Tkiiaselves of tho salt water vice of swearing, will bo ablo to march until . vv'O'- I WITH THE I t TOAST AND TEA t S GOOD EVENING.

X ,'syyysyyxsyssssyysyyxxsOL SATISFIED. My days have all been sunny. My nights are full of dreams; My gardens sweet with honey; My groves with singing streams; My house, from floor to rafter, Delight forever fills; My life is joy and after-Tit shall be if God wills. My friends have all been true ones And many have I had; My thoughts both old and new ones Have evermore been glad; My heart is light with laughter And song that never stills; My life is joy and after It shall be If God wills. ANON. It isn't easy to get along on a short allowance. A man learns to live when he be gins to live and learn. Beauty Is only skin deep and sometimes equally shallow. There's a fall in store for the man who is above his work. An actor doesn't like to hi on unless the eggs are fresh. egged An old bachelor Is a man that no widow has wanted to marry. Some people take things as they iome and knock them as they go. Our idea of a frenzied financier is a man who buys a pocketbook on credit. Many a man forgets what he ought to know and knows what he ought to forget. It is self evident that the lawyer who questions a witness doesn't know it all. It's difficult for some people to un derstand classical music. . The average woman has a mania for the kind of clothes that are more ornamental than useful. About the first thing a new cook expects the mistress to learn is to keep out of the culinary department. A woman's Idea of economy Is to buy Ave cents' worth of anything on two separate occasions instead ot blowing in a dime all at once. "It Is repotted that the prices of meat are going to be .raised to a fearful flgiue" lemarked Lee Ed wards ihe other day. "It's that dastardly meat trust" explained Hunter. "You won't find auy meat trust around this shop" Interrupted Roy Hobson. "Our terms are cash." An Oregon county superintendent of schools relates the sad case of a young woman who failed to pass her examination for appointment as teacher In tho public school at that place. The mother of tho disappointed young woman was asked by a friend whother the daughter had succeeded In runnln" tho gauntlet of the ex aminers. "No," was tho reply, in mournful tone, "Jinny didn't pass at all. May bo you won't believe, sir, but them examiners asked the poor girl about things that happened years and years before sho was born. tho bottoms drop from their shoes without lurching into tho flanking crowds, or to step off a cotillion with the easy assurity of tho man who waxes ballroom floors. tt-a--a----$:---a-- - 1 a a a a I Farmers !

Front St, Marshfleld. 1 -8-8-B-88-8-n-H-B-8-8-n-a BAD SERVICE CAUSES GRIEF (Continued from Page 1.) happened, there was a little "pop" and it wouldn't move. J. L. Koontz was appealed to again. It was then 6 o'clock and he was tired and hungry and so were the rest, but he decided that The Times had to come out whether he ate or not so back to his shop he went to turn out a "valve stem" to replace the broken one. The lathe had to be turned by hand for an hour or so, but he did it. With the broken valve stem re paired and a few other little diffi culties, the gasoline engine was fin ally inveigled into running the press until the issue was run off, shortly after 9 o'clock. Conditions Fierce. All over the city, the conditions were fierce Saturday evening. No light nor power and candles had to be used by the -score. At the offices of the company. It was explained that a "hot box" was the cause cf the trouble but the engine box" was not the only thing that was "hot" so that the expres sions of opinion of the company were well unprintable. It Is claimed that the old plant of the companv is overloaded and a duplication of Saturday's experience may be expected anytime until the new plant is completed about Feb ruary 1. General Manager Bell has been promising for several months to have the new plant completed "with in thirty days" but it keeps dras ;ing along and the same poor ser vice continues. That the gas plant will not afford any relief was demonstrated yester day when the gas was shut off all day. Without the electric plaat running, gas cannot be manufactur ed. So, until the new plant Is com pleted, it is likely that Coos B.tv will have to resort to candles, kero sene lanterns and lamps. As for The Times, everybody around it is hopjng for the time when a complete set of reserve ma chinery can be Installed wa'.ei motors to take the place of the ga io line engine when It fails after the electric power fails, a steam engine to take the place of the water-motor when it falls, etc., and an acetylen-3 gas plant to furnish light when the gas and electricity fails, a few re serve kerosene lamps to take Us nlace in case of its failure and final ly candles by the score to replace the kerosene lights if they fall. At any rate, there can't be too many re serves as long as Marshfleld has to depend on "the light that falls." KILL QUAIL WITH GUN BUTT. BIG SPRINGS, Tex., Dec. 5. Quail are so thick In this vicinity W. W. Rix used the butt of his gun to knock them In the head, believing he could kill them that way faster than by shooting them. His experience resulted In the discharge of his gun and shooting off the thumb of his right hand. He lost his thumb, but got the quail.
