There is no other such frisky animal
as a midshipman in the uavy? that i?.
where the midshipman is ashore on
leave. Possibly now that war vessels
have changed from light wooden struc
tures. riding the waves with white \
wiugs like ;t bird. !" a machine shop i

iuhv have ! ven knocked out of the
middies, but titty years ago. when the
fnlte.l States frigate Honeybee sailed
Into Havana hnrl?or. she had as rol- !
lii-kniii a lot of "juniors" as ever were ,
got together iu a righting ship.
Hot. Merrelt and Ned Perry, both
midshipmen, could get Into more mis- \
chief in one day ashore than the rest i
of the . .fM. noiild meet iu a month.
N.i sooner had the Houeybee dropped
her fin.-li'ir than both lads applied for |
ir;i ve to gn a shore.
??Ynti i an g i." said their commander,

house, cliuiixsl the wall. and. taking a
seat ln-tw.-'ii the two midd-es. away
they went as fast as the bony, half
stu rv.-d horse could take their. Either
officer made a go.xl cliaperon. so there
was really u<> liartu in the escapade
except a violation ol cilstoui.

nt Havana and he went t > the t'ardoza
plantation with a projK>sltloa for the
girl's hand. He was informed that If
he showed his face there again he
would tital a resting place iu a neigh
boring cemetery.
Bob went back to the ship and told
his sorrow t > his friend Perry. The
result of the interview was that Perry
agreed to g? t > the plantation iu mufti,
steal away the girl and take her to a
village the two middies hail passed
through on their way to the planta
tion. There hci lover was to meet and
marry her. There were se\ eral de
fects in the pla ii. not the least of which
was the fact that they agreed to a
rendezvous in a little square In the
center of the village, rather a public
place for such a meeting.
The next day. bith middies having
obtained since leave. Ned went on
ahead, agreeing t > have the girl at the
trusting place, though the hour must
necessarily be iudelinite. Bob waited
Impatiently iu Havana till be could
wait no longer, then went to the vil
lage and to.'k a seat iu the public
square.
After waitiug an hour it occurred to
hiu; that possibly if Ned had beeu suc
cessful in getting the girl they might
not find it quite sale to rendezvous iu
so conspicuous a place. They might
l>e hiding in some of the house*.
Knocking at several of the doors,
he asked th ?se within if they had seen
a voung couple. No one had seen a
young couple. Along came a hawker
of toys. Hob thrust his haud into the
man's basket, drew out a tin horn
ami blew the dinner call with a mighty
blast. I"p went a window sash on the
opposite side of the street, and Ned
Perry's head was thrust out.
"1 thought that would bring you,"
said Bob. "What luck"'"
"Come over here and I'll tell you."
Bob crossed the street and was ad
mitted to the house. Inside were a
Spanish w cuan and a black eyed
maiden just bedding into womanhood.
But she wa - not Donna Ysabel. Bob
looked at her disappointed, then at his
friend for an explanation.

Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands
and Limbs -Suffering Intense
Doctors Said Too Old to Be
Cured ? An Old Soldier of 80
Years Declares:
"CUTICURA TREATMENT
IS A BLESSING" |
"At all times and to all people I am
willing to testify to the merits of Cu
ticura. It saved m'e from worse than
the tortures of hades, alx>ut the year
1900, with itching on my scalp and
temples, and afterwards It commenced
to break out on mv hands. Then it
broko out on my limbs. I was advised
to use salt and water, which I did", to
110 effect. I then went to a burgeon, who
commented treating me with a wash of
borax. This treatment did me nq good,
l but rather aggravated the disease. I
| then told him I would 30 and see a phy
[ sician in Erie. The reply was that I
| could go anywhere, but a case of
eczema like mine could not lie cured;
that I was too old (SO). 1 went to an
eminent doctor in the city of Erie and
[ treated with him for six months, with
I like results. I had read of the Cu
I ticura Remedies often. I was strongly
i tempted to give them a trial, so 1 sent
I for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Resolvent and continued taking the
Resolvent until I had taken six bottles,
stopping it to take the Pills. I was now I
getting better. I took two baths a day,
and at night I let the lather of the Soap
dry on. I used the Ointment with
great effect after washing in warm
water, to stop the itching at once. I
am now cured.
"The Cuticura treatment is a blessing
and should be used by every one who
has itching of the skin. I can't saj- any
more, and thank God that He has given
the world such a curatire. You can
use this letter as you please. A vciy
