Kelly, Kansas P- it1 fit TC if McGhee's Citv Restaurant, Is the Place to EAT. M. DOWNEY, Meat Market- The Terrlbl Strain on Admiral Dewey anil Lieut. Calkins During the Manila ICiiBuuemen t. The decisive moment wa approaching, and It was approaching in a very ticklish manner for it must not be forgotten that the American fleet was in a harbor in which not a single officer had ever been before, and with which their acquaintance had been acquired wholly from charts.

Now, navigating an unknown harbor by chart is ticklish work, even on a bright afternoon, when no one is firing heavy guns, and when there is no necessity for going near shoals. But how is it when the light is so poor that it is almost impossible to distinguish those landmarks on shore which one must distinguish in order to tell where he is? How is it when the ship whereon you are is firing heavy guns, that rattle your instruments and fill the air with smoke? How is it when it is absolutely essential to get as near to certain shoals as possible in order to bring your guns close to the enemy? How is it when, in addition to all these things, shells weighing from one pound to one hundred pounds are singing in the air about you? Most of us can keep our heads fairly clear if we have a sheet of paper and a lead pencil and are Bitting safe in a quiet room. But how was it with Commodore Dewey and Lieut. Calkins when they stood high up by the standard compass on the morning of the 1st of May? Calkins took compass bearings of certain landmarks on shore, and then his assistant drew lines on the chart indicating these directions from the spots representing those landmarks. The intersection of the lines showed the position of the ship; and from each successive position the commodore directed the further movements of the fleet.

When one thinks of how much disaster might have followed a mistake of Calkins or a mistaken order of the commodore relative to the course alone (and he had, at the same time, to give orders to the ships about many other matters), one can appreciate what the responsibilities of their positions were and what was the necessity for coolness and clearness of head. may be interpolated here that, in circumstances, like this, the most valuable quality in officers or seamen is coolness, meaning not so much an external quietness of demeanor' as the ability to use the brain effectively, and, allied to this, the faculty of keeping other men cool. Jn most navies the men can be depended on to fight bravely and long; but the ability to use the chips and guns in such a skillful way as to get the utmost out of them is a thing that can be acquired only by long and judicious training. This does not mean merely drill, though that does much; but it means, in addition, a self-training whereby, by force of will a mnn can keep his brain clear and active. A valuable assistant to this is what Capt.

Mahan calls "preparedness of mind" a phrase too good 1o need Lieut. B. A. Mske, U. S.
