THE DUMB WAITER
It Played a Low Down Trick on
the Master of the House.
A HOT TIME ON A COLD NIGHT.
The Trouble Waa the Direct Result of
a Thirsty Man'* Craving For Drink
and Hia Dogged Persistence In At
tempting to Satisfy It.
One of the old time humorous writ
ers was "Sparrowgrass," aud the fol
lowing account of his adventure with
a dumb waiter gives a good Idea of his
amusing style:
One evening Mrs. S. had retired,
and I was busy writing wheu It struck
me a glass of Ice water uould be pal
atable So 1 took the candle and a
pitcher and went down to the pump.
Our pump Is In the kitchen. A coun
try pump tn the kitchen Is more con
venient but a well with buckets is cer
tainly most picturesque. Unfortunate
ly our well water hns not been sweet
since It was cleaned out
First I had to open a bolted door
that lets yon Into the basement hall,
and then I went to the kitchen door,
which proved to be locked. Then I re
membered that our girl always car
ried the key to bed with her and slept
with It under her pillow. Then I re
traced my steps, bolted the basement
door and went up into the dining room.
As Is always the case. I found when I
could not get any water 1 was thirstier
than I supposed 1 was. Then 1
thought I would wake our girl up.
Then I concluded not to do It Then
I thought of the well, but I gave that
up on nccount of Its flavor. Then I
opened the closet doors. There was no
water there. Then I thought of the
dumb waiter! The novelty of the Idea
made me smile. 1 took out two of the
movable shelves, stood the pitcher on
the bottom of the dumb waiter, got In
myself with the lamp, let myself down
until I supposed I was within a foot
of the floor below and then let go.
We came down so suddenly mat i
was shot out of the apparatus as If It
bad been a catapult It broke the
pitcher, extinguished the lamp and
landed me in the middle of the kitchen
at midnight, with no Are and the air
not much above the zero (mint The
truth Is I had miscalculated the dis
tance of the descent Instead of falling
one foot 1 had fallen five. My first
Impulse was to ascend by the way I
came down, but 1 found that imprac
ticable. Then I tried the kitchen door.
It was locked. I tried to force It open.
It was made of two Inch stuff and held
its own. Then I hoisted a window,
and there were the rigid iron bars. If
I ever felt angry at anybody it was at
rayself for putting up those bars to
please Mrs. Sparrowgrass. 1 put them
up not to keep people in. but to keep
people out
I laid my cheek against the ice cold
barriers and looked at the sky. Not a
star was visible. It was as blftck as
Ink overhead Then I made a noise. I
shouted until I was hoarse and ruined
our preserving kettle with the poker.
That brought our dogs out in full bark,
and between us we made the nlgbt
hideous. Then 1 thought I hoard a
voice and listened It was Mrs. Spar
rowgrass calling to me from the top
of the staircase. I tried to make her
hear me. but the Infernal dogs nnlted
with howl and growl nnd bark, so as
to drown my voice, which is naturally
plaintive and tender. Beside*, there
were two bolted doors and double deaf
ened floors between us. How could she
recognize my voice, even If she did
hear it?
Mr. Sparrowgrass called once oi
twice and then got frightened Tht
next thing I heard was a sound as if
the roof had fallen In. by which 1 un
derstood that Mrs. Sparrowgrass was
springing the rattle! That called out
our neighbor, already wide awake He ;
came to the rescue with a bull terrier. ?
a Newfoundland pup. a lantern and ?
revolver The moment he saw me at
the window he shot at me. but fortu
nately Just missed me I threw myself
under the kitchen table and ventured
to expostulate with hlui, but he would
not listen to reason. In the excite
ment I had forgotten his name, and
that made matters worse. It was not
until he had roused up everybody
around, broken In the basement door
with an ax. got Into the kitchen with
bis cursed savage dogs and shooting
Iron and seized me by the collar that
be recognized me. and then be wanted
me to explain itl But what kind of an
explanation could I make to him? 1
told him be would have to wait until
my mind was composed and then 1
would let him understand the matter
fully.

BIG PATTLI-SHIPS.
A* Viewed From the Standpoint* of
Economy and dun Fire.
A very Important factor In the ques
tion of the alze of ihlp* Is that of
economy. A given amount of tonnage
la more economically assigned to one
ship than distributed among several
Three ship* require thro* captains,
three officers constantly on dock in
charge, three men at the wheel and
three time* as many lookouts. While
the same proportion ? threefold ? of
deck and engineer force may not be
needed, tbe aggregate crows of throe
vessels would nevertheless abow a
very considerable percentage In ex
cess of one of the same aggregate ton
nage. All this means mnch more ex
pense for the same carriage of freight
and passengers.
The same order of considerations ap
plies to ships of war, hot in a less de
gree. because naval vessels are not for
purposes of gain. With them tbe run
ning expenses In this particular count
as with merchantmen, but the ques
tion of profit is replaced by that of
military efficiency, as ministering to
the safety of the nation or to the as
sertion of national policies.
Suppose one ship carrying twelvs
guns opposed to four carrying three
each. With the very wide train of
modern guns? that Is. tbo long arc of
a c'rcle over which their projectiles
can strike effectively? It la easily feasi
ble to bring all the guns of four ships
apon a single opponent Probably she
on her part may bring also upon each
enemy three guns, a lire power equal
to his, but the eonce titration of four
fold Impact upon a single vessel pro
duces upon her crew a corresponding
physical as well as moral Impression,
diminishing their military efficiency,
their power of rapid loading and aim
ing, not to speak of tbe proportionate
ly greater chances of material injury.
If there be the same number of hits
on both sides the one will hnv* been
struck four times as often as any one
opponent If. as would! be very proper,
the one begins by concentrating all her
battery on one or two of her antagon
ists she ought to beat them down, but
an appreciable time would be required,
during which the others would be en
gaged In unmolested target practice
upon her.? Hear Admiral A. T. Mahan

OME
IT is a hard thing to 'convince some people, who have acquired the
mail order, habit, that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
green fields far away appeal to them, so they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, n >r any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can * nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thoinandt of
milea away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests ofthe commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the sam^time argue against'mail order busines*.
