PHIL. ABRAHAMS
FUSSY AUNT SALUY.
She la One of Those Who Always Find
a Taak Undone.
Our Aunt Sally always hag one or
two more things to do at night before
she caa go to bed. We were at her
home a few weeks ago, and all of
us sat up until late. At about 11
o'clock Uncle Buckram gav« a yawn,
and In thirty minutes everybody was
under the cover listening to the rain—
everybody except Aunt Sally. She de
cided that -while everything was quiet
i she would sew the buttons on the new
trousers she was making for Buckram.
When this was finished she started to
bed, but she remembered that she
hadn't set her yeast She went back
into the kitchen and worked for about
twenty minutes, and then it seemed
that she was through \%h everything
for the night.
We were almost asleep when she
brought in another quilt. She said it
might turn cold during the night and
that we could pull it up if we needed
it She went back to her room and
stood perfectly still for a few seconds.
Evidently she was trying to think of
something else to do before going to
bed, and she thought of it She decid
ed she had best sprinkle down her
clothes so they would iron better next
day. When this Mas finished she fold
ed the rough dried pieces and put them
away.
At last the house was dark. The
rain was pouring down, and we turned
over for a good sleep. After we turned
we were facing the barn, and we saw
Aunt Sally out there with a lamp. She
managed to keep the lamp dry, but in
a few minutes it went oqt A little
later we heard her enter the house,
and while feeling for a place to set the
lamp she said: "I declare that fool
hen hasn't any sense. I put her up In
a tiry place and she wouldn't stay
there. She seems determined to drown,
and I ought to let her do it but 1
guess I'd better go back and see about
her."—Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
VISITORS TO NEW YORK.
Th»y Crowd th» N«tlve» Off Broadwa)
and Into th« Side StrveU.
It has often been remarked by vis
itors from Denver and other scientific
Investigators that New York's Broad
way Is apparently patronized by peo
ple from all over the world except the
native resident of New York. And It
is probably true that Seattle knows
its way about the Rlalto at least
as well as does East Seventy-second
street, and the cabarets along the great
white way see more money from Des
Moines than from Amsterdam avenue.
The fact of the matter Is that the
out of towu visitor, descending upon
the metropolis trained to the minute,
with the express intention and deter
mination of taking in Broadway, suc
ceeds largely In crowding the native
off the walk.
Hence it has come about -that other
New York streets which never attain
more than a local fame have become
pleasure grounds for the real New
Yorker, yvho leaves the street* and the
restaurants of world reputation, to the
hordes of the Invader. Such a street,
for Instance, is One Hundred and
Twenty-fifth street, often called by its
frequenters the "uptown Broadway."
One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street
lies in the apartment house section,
about in the middle of the long, nar
row city that is modern New York.
From here to the Battery is a long
ride on the express trains, and from
here to the limits of New York, up be
yond the Bronx, is a longer ride by
local. The dweller In this section rare
ly takes either of these rides. He
goes down to the office iu the morning
and in the evening returns to his own
little side street. If he craves amuse
ment he strolls down One Hundred
and Twenty-fifth street—New York

Large Power Easily Controlled.
In. some cases a 1,000 ton or 1,500 ton
press may be controlled by one finger
upon the clutch lever, so that the ram
will rise one-eighth of an inch or so
at a time. More often, howerer, a
press Is set so that the rain will always
stop at the top of its stroke, and the
control of this condition Is usually
made by a foot treadle, although some
times with a handle also or with a
handle alone. Generally snch presses
are arranged for continuous running.
This Is often practicable with long,
slow strokes.—Oberlin Smith in Engi
neering Magazine.
A Common Cause of Failure.
"What happened to Flivver? He
was always full of ambition and just
about to accomplish great things, but
somehow he has failed to achieve any
thing in particular."
"Oh, he hitched his wagon to a star
and forgot to fasten the rear end
gate."—Kansas City Star.
All Depends.
"What shall I charge for fixing up
whiskers?"
"All depends," answered the boBS bar
ber. "Some I give a bit of a clip tor
nothing. Others you want to charge
the same rates a laundry gets for lace
curtains."—Louisville Courier-Journal.
Why It Worried Him.
"What are you looking bo glum about,
old man?"
"Somebody stole Dawson'a umbrella."
"But why should that worry your'
"It was stolen from me."
No Strange Experiments.
"Did you have a homily when your
minister came to dinner, Mrs. J imps?"
"Dear me, no, mem. I don't never
try them strange dishes."—Baltimore

LOST BY TIMIDITY.
An Early British Naval Failure at
the Dardanelles.
GOT HIS FLEET INTO A TRAP.
Admiral Duckworth Could Have Won
Had He Acted Promptly, but He Hee>
itated, Gave the Turke Time to Arm
and Wae Bombarded Baok to the Sea.
The unsuccessful campaign at Gal
llpoli when the forces of the allied
powers failed In their attempt to reach
Constantinople after Turkey had ar
rayed herself on the side of Germany
recalls the time when Sir John Duck
worth sailed through the Dardanelles
and then turned round and Hailed out
again. It was in 1807, when Napoleon
was at war with more than half a
world and when England had on the
throne a king with an infirm brain and
a ministry called that of "all the tal
ents," which in spite of its name was
wretchedly inefficient
The French were trying to come to
an understanding with the Irresolute
Sultan Selim, which was greatly dis
quieting to the czar since in view of
the great victories of the "Little Cor
poral" in Prussia he could ill afford to
spare any forces from the Russian
frontier. So he asked the British to
send a fleet to the sublime porte and
compel Selim to make terms with Rus
sia and England.
Accordingly sir .loiin juucKworui was
ordered to Join Admiral Louis in the
Aegean sea and lead the combined
fleets up the Dardanelles to the Turk
ish capital, "where, after securing the
safety of Mr. Arbutlinot, the British
ambassador, he was to dictate terms to
the sultan.
It Is harder to sail up the Darda
nelles than to sail out because there Is
a powerful current that flows con
stantly from the Black sea to the
Aegean. There were no great steam
cruisers then, and Sir John had to wait
several days for favorable conditions.
Meantime one of the largest of the
ships, the Ajax, carrying seventy-four
guns, unaccountably blew up, and some
200 Englishmen were killed.
On a February morning in 1807,
however, seven battleships sailed Into
the mouth of the ancient Hellespont
and bore their way up the strait They
encountered only a light and ineffect
ual flre from the forts. There was no
effective preparation for defensive ac
tion on either the European or Asiatic
side from the mouth of the Darda
nelles to the city of Constantlne.
Had Sir John given the sultan a
twenty-four hour ultimatum and
trained his guns on the citadel he need
not have fired a shot. He would have
accomplished the purpose for which ho
had come and could have sailed out
with his ships unharmed and himself
covered with glory. But he was seized
with timidity and began unaccountably
to negotiate and temporize.
General Sebastian!, the clever agent
of Napoleon at the sultan's court, en
couraged Duckworth's irresolution and
led him on from day to day with spe
clouS promises.
Meanwhile men, women and chil
dren, Christians and Mohammedans,
were working day and night to erect
suitable defenses along the famous
waterway, until in no long time the
whole shore, as well as the forts of the
Dardanelles, was bristling with guns.
Duckworth's opportunity had passed.
He had made the fatal mistake of giv
ing the Turks time to find their leader.
For two weeks the parlevings went
on, while the fleet's officers through
their glasses could see the constant ar
rival of cannon, ammunition and
troops. At last Sir John awoke to the
fact that he was in a trap and had
barely time to get out. Fortunately the
wind was in his favor, and the seven
battleships began their Ignominious re
treat.
What a contrast between tne coming
In and the going out!
For sixty miles they ran the gant
let of a continual and heavy fire. It
was incessant and galling in the sea of
Marmora, and in the Dardanelles it
was terrific. There stone balls, weigh
ing 700 and 800 pounds, snapped the
rigging, broke down the masts and
crushed in the decks. The roll of the
artillery was deafening, and the smoke
hung over everything in dark, impene
trable folds.
The humiliated admiral could do
nothing but run, and as the current
was with him he finally reached the
Aegean sea, although with a badly bat
tered fleet.
It has always seemed curious to the
reader of history that Duckworth es
caped the fate of Admiral Byng, who
was court martialed and shot fifty
years before for Just such another
lamentable error of judgment The
only explanation appears to be that
this was a time of such multiplied
fears and parties that even so serious
a matter as this was soon forgotten In
the more absorbing and Importunate
problem of national defense against
the designs of Napoleon.—Youth's Com
panion.
Cleopatra.
Cleopatra means "fame of her fa
ther." It was once very common among
the royal ladies of Egypt and Greece
and survives In the French Cleo. Cleo
patra was born in Alexandria 59 B. C.
and died at the age of thirty-nine not
by applying a poisonous asp to her
bosom, but by swallowing some secret
poisoning.
Life, upon the whole, is far more
pleasurable than painful; otherwise we
would not feel pain so impatiently
^ when it comes.—Leigh Hunt. •
