An KploJf f War Diiy iu the lljrlioi
f Hoar konr.
"During the greater rt of thf
war," suid the retired klp-r, "then
were large number of American
cUppert stalled In Hong-Kong har
lor, having order to remain ther
from their owner, who feared the
Alabama. ThD arrangement did
not at all pleae thp eoptaln and of
ficers, aa many of im were anxloua to
go home and shlj) In the navy, but
ordeM were order. We could not
leave the shlpa, jovl he frequent
vDita of the Alabtima herxelf to the
harUir, forcing herself 'into our
inlilst,' as the tiiiying go'", wi re ver
vivid reminders that neutral waters
were a pretty gmal sort of an Inven
tion. "Although we pastil the long
week ami month hs pleasantly a
we could, with all kind of arrange
ment for killing time, both on ahlp
Ixiard and on shore, there wa ol
course a continual and concerted
growl going up from our little band
of Yankee skipper, and old Holt!,
was the tar growler of u all.
"Hi ship wa the Humming Bird,
a brand new clipper hailing from
HoHtou. The trip out to Hong Kong
had been her maiden one, and it was
charing to Hoblw' not very nmooth
ttmper to have her lie idle so early
In her career. Having great faith In
the ship' speed and iu his own sett
mansliip, he wa more than anxious
to put to M-a and let Semmes catch
him if he could; but like the rest ot
us, hi order to remain were posi
tive. "Occasionally a ship would manage
to clear by sailing under Home for
eign flag, hut a It wa a complicated
process Involving fathom of red
tajie and very often fell through Just
when everything seemed favorable it
wa not resorted to very olten.
When It wa tried, however, old
Hobba would goon hi Initio end
with wrath. He would fume and
rant, easting astiorlous on the pat
riotism of the ow iter, the agents, the
otrlclals, and even the Chinexe crew.
He wa ao Intensely patriotic that to
see a good Yankee craft sail under
false color would keep him boiling
for a week.
"You can ee what his feeling
were when one day he wa ordered
to procetsl tn Sumatra under the
IJritlsh flag. He fumed, ranted and
swore and fumed, ranted and swore
over again, with a few, extra choice
nautical anathema thrown in for
emphasis. This niH-esnary ocration
over, he sent ashore to the native
sHllmaker's for a British flag the
smalh'st to lie bail. When it came
almard it was alsiut 2x4 fW't In si.e
Hobb looked at askance and or
dered it to be put out of sight until
sailing day.
"Sailing day arrived, and the
British (lag wa si-en fluttering tiuicl
ly from It proper place on the Hum
ming Bird. It attracted mighty
little attention, however, for the Al
abama was entering the harlior. She
floated "lowly along and dropixnl
anchor exceedingly close to the Hum
ming Bird. About thi time the
harbor master was seen in his boat
being rowed rapidly toward Hobbs'
ahip, and a huge bundle of bunting
about the Ue of an old shellback's
sea cheat was rapidly hauled to the
maintop of the Humming Bird.
"The harbor master pulled up
alongside the Humming Bird and
yelled for the captain. It could be
aeen that he wa angry about some.
thing. Hobb came to the rail In
his plug hat and long-tailed bottle
green coat, the customary uniform of
skipper in those days, and asked
the harbor master what he could do.
" 'I want you to take down that
flag instantly, sir,' said the harbor
master.
"Guess not,' said Hobbs.
" 'Its a disgrace, sir, and an insult
to hoist such a flag as that!'
" 'What's the matter with the flag?'
aald Hobbs, surprised.
" 'Its all wrong, sir; the proportions
are all w rong. The field Is too long
for its width, and the rest of it Is too
wide for Its length. The crosses are
wrongly arranged, sir, and it Is a vile
caricature of an honored flag, sir!
Remove it Immediately!
"'Guess not, said Hoblis again.
'That flag was bought In a British
port ami made by a British subject.
He was a Chinaman, but that Is
neither here nor there. I do not care
If It is the flag of Patagonia, so long
as It was sold to me for that of Eng
land. Good morning!
"The harbor master had nothing
to say to this and started back, but
he had no sooner done n than the
main halliard were pulled, the bun
dle at the iieak broke out. and in a
second the star

waving before the astonished eyes of
the harbor master, the Yankee t
pers and Captain Semmes of the Al
abama. Indeed, so large was Old
Glory In this particular case that it
almost brushed the Alabama's decks,
the vessels being so near together.
The huge flag had been presented to
the ship at her launching and to the
excited spectator on this occasion
teemed larger than the ship herself.
"The burin ir iiiatcr put itbou,
ingrier than before, and demanded
explanation.
"'What doe that rli j mean, sir?'
aid he.
" 'That' my house Mag,' said
iiooox; 'tne t ratio rtmrK or my

that red rug up tnvre I hum pi nicked

that the present time, in view of the

to take a review of "our variegated
currency." It I true that there nrc
a large number of aople who do not
know how many kind we have, be

over four or rive. We have notes

C And they have the cheek to
call themselves democrat, too, the
stupid, olistiuate scoundrels !
P. Well, 1 diiniio. I sometimes
think that you and I are about the
only democrats left, old man.
t'. I'tt! I low left! Who says

can't eixct everybody to under
stand things as w ell as I do. It is

P. I know just how you feel.
Soiiietim when 1 put out my bed
room candle at night, I think to
myself, great Scott, how dark the
world i now.
C. Yes, I've had the same
thought. I remember just after my
great message in lss7 I was putting
on my shirt oue morning, and, by
thunder, sir, the sun rose a sin m as
I had buttoned the top button.
P. Some of the newspaper, heh,
hell, seem to think we sort o'tos our
shirt on (his Hawaiian trouble.
('. The new --papers! Faugh! damn
the newspaper-; if it wasn't for the
newspapers and congress
P. - e could show em a policy
that would make their eye stick

taken a line of policy, I won't budge.
I am a sticker I I. now what's right.
I know w huts t'ood for the country.
