Punished
By F. A. MITCHEL
There are misfortunes and misfor
tunes. It is a misfortune to be dump
ed Into nu ocean from a steamer leav
lag you at the rate of twcuty knots an
hour, hut you are very soon either
laved or your troubles are ended. 1
Buffer under a misfortune that began
with my birth, xvas added to ut my
baptism and has been endured ever
Unce. My father's name was John
Darling. If ho had named me John
for himself one-half my life's suffer
ings would have been avoided, but my
mother's family name was Itosedale,
and I was glveu that surname, t pre
sume 1 should remember my parents
with reverencc and affection. As for
the latter, so 1 do, but bow can one
revere a pair of Intellects which even
combined were too stupid not to fore
see that 1, as boy aud man, would be
I tone Darling?
The trouble began when I first went
to school, the boys suggesting that I
In' classed with the girls When I grew
older and joined a musical club 1 was
asked If I sang soprano or contralto.
1 was called Rosle Dear. Darling Hose
-Indeed, every play u|r>c my name that
could be Invented.
Foreseeing that a manly part In life
was needed to help me to throw off
this suggestion of effeminacy, I deter
mined to become a soldier. 1 applied
to the congressman of my district He
told me that he had giveu out his
appointments, but I saw from the
amused expression ou his face that he
would not think of recommending a
boy with such a name. I walked away
to the nearest recruiting station and
enlisted

"Sweetheart" or "Itosle Dear" I did not

course Unit In. pretending to do so
I though every time I was thus address
ed It was like u slab.
I resolved to be the best soldier in
my company, and I was. Notwltb
1 standing my Incubus I was promoted
to be corporal, tbeu sergeant and Anal
ly orderly sergeant. When 1 reached
the highest noncommissioned office in
my cotu|utny I secured an advantage.
It enabled me when on duty to compel
the men to address me by my right
name. I permitted them to call me
what tliey liked unofficially, but the
moment oue of them did so upon any
official occasion I brought him up with
a round turn. This gradually killed
the habit
My service In the ranks was during
the last Indlau troubles, and In a tight
that occurred In attempting to drive a
tribe of redskins back on to their res
ervatlon 1. preferring to die rather than
uot gain something by which to bal
uuce the dlsudvuutage of the name un
der which I lived, fought regardless of
danger. Ttie result was that when
we got back to the fort the colonel
commanding sent for me. compliment
1 ed me and told me that he had recom
mended mo for a commission. Ue
. knew me' as Sergeant Darling. Darling
by Itself is uot n very bad name, and 1
' hoped that when I cauie to associate
[ with the commissioned officers 1 should
gain a restate. I would be Mr. Dar
ling. and wheu 1 came to the next
grade above 1 would be Captain Dor
f Hug. Then 1 would get rid of the "Kosle
Dear" and ull that.
But I was doomed to disappointment.
I found that the higher I rose the more
ambitious were my associates. Ambi
tion takes many forms. The ambition
of the stupidest i>ersous seoms to be to
' crack a Joke. And the stupider the
. person the more reliant be Is upon an
opportunity. When a few weeks later
the colonel sent for me to baud me
my commission 1 found him looking at
' the parchment with a smile hovering
? about his lips With a twinkle In his
, eve he said half musingly.
"Itosedale Darling. Itosc Darling,
f* (la ha! Mr. Hose Darllug, I nm pleased
f. to greet you among the commissioned
, officers of tho army. 1 dare say you
r will be very dear to the ladles of the
f* garrison."
"Thank you. colonel." I said, forcing
a suille. "That's a very good pun ol
yours. How did you happen to think
of ltr
"Ob. It's In tho name? Hose Darling,
Darling Itose, Kose Dear, see?"
"Upon my word." I replied, my faco
lighting up with ass'imcd surprise and
admiration. "Excellent! 1 wonder no
oue ever thought of It before."
"Haven't they?" His own face re
flecting the pleasure In mine. "Well.
I suppose It's my sense of humor."
Then and there 1 resolved that 1
would make a bold stroko for revenge
upon hltn for Indulging In that humor.
1 had often seen a pretty girl of sev
enteen at guard mounting or dress
parade whom 1 bad been told was tho
colonel's daughter. I laid siege to her
heart and after a struggle won her,
though the colonel tried to hond mo off
by trumping up charges against me.
I was tried and acquitted, and 1 mar
ried the glr!. Since then every time
a (Darling) child Is born to mo I feel
tliat I am giving my humorous father
in-law a new stab. 1 have at times
been tempted to lay an Incubus on one
of my own boys by naming him for
myself In order to be able to gloat
tho more over the old fool who thought

name.
HUSKS KELP
10 FERTILIZE
WASTE PEACES
Cordovu, Juue 1 ? The power
schooner GJoa was In port this week
taking on fuel. Aboard Is a party
of scientists, headed by Prof. George
It. Rlggs, of the department of bo
tany, of the University of Washing
ton. They will survey the kelp beds
to tho westward. Another party Is
aboard tho fishing boat Zarcmbo,
which will do work around Prince
William Sound. This boat loft
Ketchlkuu a week ngo and should
roach Cordova In a few days. This
laitor party is headed by Prof. T. C.
Fry, also a botanist from the Uni
versity of Washington.
Tho UJoa is an exact twin of tho
famous boat of tho same name, on
which Cai.'t. Ronald Amundsen, who
later became tho discovercr of tho
douth pole, soiled through the north
west passage several years ago, dis
covering new territory. The orig
inal tijou was donated to tho city of
t.iu Francisco. Tho boat wus
dragegd over tho sands of tho beach
near the Cliff House and placed in
a cradle on the boacb end of Golden
U.tto Pi.rU.
.Speaking of bis mission to Alaska
l'rof. Rlcgs Bald: "For the manu
facture of fertilizer and for mttrrf
other ua-.a, potash Is wldly demand
ed, and the supply In the United
States is patting very low. Tests
having determined that a great per
centage of potash is contained in
seaweed, the goverment readily con
sented to foster our AlasUca expedi
tions. Wo hope to Plot the kelp
oi the whole Alaska coast from Dix
on's Entrauco to the Four Moun
ta i.s before tho end of the summer.
There arc ouly two countries that
produce rotaah in any great quan
tities. These are Germany and the
Cnlted States. Tho lormor coun
try has been furnishing this nation
with considerable potash, but each
yar Gt-miany has lessened its ship
ment to the United States, and the
lime is not far off, it is believed,
when the nation across tho sea will
hoop all its potash at home.
"The method of harvesting the
kolp crop has beeu tested and its
practicability established. A sco;v
is equipped with long feelers, un
derlaid with sharp kulves. A tug
pushes the scow into tho kelp beds
ind the knives cut tho tontacles
from their roots. A conveyor takes
tho seaweed to a hopper, from whlci
tho kelp drops to a bin whoro it is
chopped finely by Bmall knives. Tbi 4
tho weed is put through a cylinder,
whore it is dried by means of u
hot blast. Tho dry wood is then
sacked and ready for shipment. Th
v ro'i will grow almost as fast as
harvested, as thoro Is no "season'
ou tho bottom of tho water, the tem
peraturj remaining practically uni
form the year round."
Tho first steamer to sail from tho
lort of Dawaon this year got away
May 23 at 11 o'clock, when tho VI
ilosto sailed with mall, passengers
and thirty tons of frolght for Mayo
