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 .

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.

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.

ness and scrupulous care about our
