" NAVAL NICKNAMES. Old as the Hiljs, Used In All Countries and Never Alter. In the American and English, navies, as well as In the merchant marines, are found nicknames that hnve been in use since before men dreamed that there was. land on the other side of the western ocean. Trodltlon, most inflexible of all rules, governs them, and they never alter, whether the ship clears from the Golden Gate or from London docks. Some of the nicknames are of obvious origin; others seem to guln force by tbelr apparent lack of reason. For Instance, why should all men named Wright be called "Shinerr Clark Is invariably "Nobby." Green la "Jimmy." and a White Is a "Knock er."' "Spud" Murphy explains Itself, as does "Dusty" Miller. "Lofty" and "Shorty" do not need to present cards to their mates when they sign on. and it Is not worth while for the bru nette sailor to resent It when a friend ly chap hnlls blm as "Nigger." lie can't whip the entire crew, one after the other. The rigid forms of the quarterdeck do not hold during the watch below, and the captain is the "Skipper," and the first lieutenant Is familiarly "Jim my the One." On fighting ships the gunnery lieutenant is "Gunnery Jack," or, more briefly, "Guns," the tor pedo lieutenant "I'oi pedo Jack" or "Sparks" and the navigating officer "The Navy." Even a landlubber would know that "Tommy Pipes" was the boatswain, "Chips" the carpenter. "Jimmy Bungs" the cooper and "Sails" the sallmakcr. New York Tribune. MUSIC RUSKIN HATED. Some Wagner Compositions Filled Him With Blind Fury. It U of course well known that when the treat litterateur und philoso pher. Uuskln. disliked any one or any thing he diil not hesitate to say so in the most forcible language the occasion might require. It is doubtful, howeve.-. If any dcuumhition KusLIn ever pen ned or uttered equaled his outburst over some of Wagner's music, which, according to Mr E T. Cook In "The Life or Buskin." tilled him with blind fury.

The Wood Pile Philosopher. Mr. Ernst us Johnson, the only Color ed inn n In Wobrook in-the-IUlis, has thought out many of the secrets of eas ing the toll that he knows best and Is ever ready to Impart them to others. "When they conies to me fer advice." he said to one of the campers, "I alwus tell 'em It depends on what their per fession Is. If they've arrived at the dignity o' sawln' wood I alwus tell em to saw the biggest fust If they asks why, an' they mostly does, I say, 'So' you'll only hnve the little sticks to saw when you gets tuckered out "An' I tell ye now," concluded Eras tus graciously, quite as if the camper had nsked for "pointers" on a back yard Job.

The Part a Chlaeee Minister Played M a Press Agent. When Wu Ting Fang wu minister from China at Washington ha was the most curioua man lu th diplomatic corps. He would go any place to see anything. There, wu a rundown sub urban resort near the capital la bard luck. Everybody would go of evenlnga to a rival resort on the same trolley line mile or two beyond It. The re tort hired a publicity agent and told him to drum up trade. The press gen ius got a private car and Invited Mr. Wu and bis family and suit to spend n evening at the resort which was painted In marvelous colors. Wu ac cepted and took the whole legation out. and they were entertained at din ner. While the Chinese guests were dining the publicity man put a leather lunged barker, with a megaphone, on the platform, and when the trolley cars, loaded to the guards with people for the rival place stopped, the barker bawled out: "Come lu and see Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, and bis sultl They are in oriental costumes. They are eating with chopsticks." The people piled off tbe cars, and that night Mr. Wu was the center of the biggest crowd In the history of the resort The scheme turned the tide for the rundown resort, and it has been prosperous ever since. But Mr. Wu went back to China without ever discovering the part be had played as a press agent New Tork World. IRISH FOX HUNTERS. Their Horses Are Said to Be Wonders For Endurance. "Fox hunting has thrived for centu ries in Ireland," said a Belfast man. "It Is the great sport among those who can afford it. and it hardly becomes a gentleman in our country not to have ridden to the bounds and been in at the death at some time. "To follow the dogs on their bunt for the wily reynard is not child's play. It brings into play the most consum mate skill as a rider, for one has to be able to stick to his horse through all kinds of going. Some of the fences are high, the Jump being much more severe than those In the bunts In this country, but our horses are up to it There la no finer horse In the world than the Irish hunter. In fact, men who incline to the thoroughbred and the standard bred horse give us credit for having produced a wonderful equine. He can run and Jump and pack a great load, and his endurance Is beyond that of any other breed "The supply of foxes seems to bold out all right There are plenty of them In Ireland. Among the peasants there Is a superstition that the fox knows his end and rather enjoys It, for be likes to be bunted and to double on his tracks and wntch bis pursuers go by." Detroit Free Press. John Felt Secure. There was a knock on the door In the midst of the packing, and the little globe trotter opened it to behold John Chinaman with her laundry bundle. "I'll not need you again. John. I'm going away to China," was the smil ing explanation. "Me go back some day, too," he replied. "Got wife an' ill' boy in Canton. No see now fl' year." The Manhattan girl who was to accompany the little globe trotter on the oriental tour became Interested at this Juncture. "Aren't you afraid your wife will run off with some other Chinese while you ore away. John?" she asked Without so much ns vouch safing a glnnce at his Inquisitor he picked up his bundle nnd when he reached the door retorted. "My wife she no Mellcan woman; she Chinese lady." The Miniater's Utefulneas. Among the members of a fashionable country club of Washington are a doc tor and a minister, who delight in the exchange of repartee touching their respective professions. As they met one day the minister observed that he was "going to read to old Cunning ham," ndding (as he was aware that the old man was a patient of his friend the doctor. "Is bo much worse?" With the gravest of expressions the physician replied: "He needs your help more than mine." Off his guard, the minister exclaim ed anxiously: "Poor fellow! Is It as bad ns that?" "Yes.

"The purpose of a cross examination In a law case," suld a Judge, "la to try to break down the testimony of a witness, but sometimes even the smart est lawyer catches n tartar and instead of breaking down the witness he him self is all broken up. I will never for get an answer made to me by a He brew witness who was the complain ant In a burglary case in a county court. He charged the young gentle man whom I was defending with breaking open the door of his apart ment above his tailor shop. On direct examination be testified that the alleg 3d burglar bad broken the chain on the Inside of the door. I started In to cross examine with that ease of man ner which characterizes every lawyer who has a good point up his sleeve.

A Curious Adventure In Which the Czar Nicholas Figured. The Czar Nicholas was very fond of masquerade balls and one night ap peared at one in the character of bis Satanic majesty, with grinning face, horns and tail, and seemed to enjoy the character very much. About 3 o'clock in the morning he went out and, throwing over him some furs, called u cab and ordered the coachman to tike him to the Quni An glais. Being very tired, be fell asleep. When he awoke he found the coach man had taken the wrong direction, for the Qual Anglais was in the most fashionable part of the city, while around blm were only miserable hov els. Nicholas began to remonstrate, but the driver, paying no heed to him, drove through a stone orchwny Into a cemetery Then, taking a long knife from his girdle, he opened the door of the cab and said: "Give me your money and your furs or 1 will kill you." "And do you give rae your soul," cried Nicholas as be threw off his furs and disclosed his personification of the evil one. Overcome with terror, the coachman fell senseless en the ground, while the emperor himself drove the cab back to town and afterward used more care in the selection of a coachman An Easy Medical Degree. Time was when medical degrees were obtained at St. Andrews without all the difficulties of today, and the story is told concerning a learned pro fessor of old. who had advised a par ticular student whom he had never seen In the flesh and of whose work he knew but little, to call upon him at his house so th;it he might be examin ed for his degree The morning was a brilliant one. and the learned gentle man found it Impossible to resist the attractions of the links. Befor? set ting out, however, he had left a mes sage with one of the maidservants, and a conversation like the following ensued on the arrival of the student at the appointed time: "Are you the gentleman who was to call this morn ing about n degree?" nsked the girl on opening the door.

Keir & Cass Feliable SMITH BLOCK GRENIER DISCUSSES LIGHT SITUATION The keen intercut iiianlfeHted In the controversy over light and power in the local tit-Id between the I'acltic Tower Ac Eight Compmy and the Hydro Electric Company, by Hood Kiver resilient, ban caused A. S. Gre nier, vice-president of the I'aciiic, to make a statemei.t to the public. Mr. Grenlcr says he want the Hood Kiver people to understand that there U nothing personal In the suit of the Pacific Power & Light Com pany ngulust the Hydro-Electric Company. That the action of the former was vim ply taken to protect Its property, a procedure that Is nec essary at times f.ir any public service corporation. "This matter," (iajH Mr. Grenler, "was submitted to the court for ad judication, after due notice, and through the proper legal channels. The court acted In accordance with the report which its own experts submitted to It. Our Investment In the valley Is a big one. We have taken steps to Improve the service in every respect, and this Improvement has added a very material value to the assets of every property holder lu the Hood Kiver district. We are still further prepared to extend our lines and heli In the development of the community In every possible way. The Pacific Power & Light Company's duplicate plants at The Dalles and Hood Kiver have a capac ity far In excess of the present needs of the country, nevertheless we art' willing to anticipate the demand, and be prepared to keep a little ahead of the development In other directions. The recent unusual cold snap, when our White Kiver plant was put out of commission by au ice jim. demonstrated the wisdom of having a reserve plant at Hood Kiver. When the trouble was re ported we connected up here and sup plied The Palles, Dufur and this dis trict from Hood Kiver without any Interruption to the service. We think this Is a direct denial of state ments that have been made of over capitalization. "On taking pos-osMou of the Hood Kiver plant I slated that the officers of the I'aciiic Power Light Compa ny would In- glad at any time to meet a committee from the Commer cial Club or a delegation of business men or citizens to discuss any mat ters of dissatisfaction, and we are still ready to do tliis at all times. We regret the ill feeling and dissatis faction that has occiirred over our new rate schedule. A a matter of fact, however, the Income from the Hood Kiver plant Is no greater now than before the new rate was put Into effect. We are contemplating an adjust ment of the rate question at an early date. "It seems to me that it Is a simple matter for the Hood Kiver people to see that In a limited held like this district any fiirthur duplication of plants means an economic hiss to the public In any event I hope that mi v mi-understanding that may HOUSE WIRING ELECTRIC COOKING AND HEATING APPARATUS Electric Wiring Under First National Bank Building Druggists HOOD RIVER have arisen will lie adjusted and that the people of this enterprising com munity will be brought to see that we are sincerely interested In ltn de velopment on a falraud Just basis.
