As they prcparel to camp late one winter afternoon , Captain Jennings , who was of the number , started out to kilt a buffalo from a herd which was near by. There was a heavy sleet on the ground , and ho found it diflicult to get in good range on account of the noise of his feet on the crackling ice , hut after following the game for several miles , ho at last killed a very large hull. Fearing that the meat might good enough to play with Wm fin has , to be sure , two sisters , but they are older. lie has one advantage , however , with hIs sisters that many boys would like to have. They can't boss him. Mi ho has to say to them is , "Remember that I arm king , " and then they have to beg his forgiveness. I1 is fond of the theater , which he can attend as often as ho likes. The worst part of his lifo Is that he haste to be draspet ! up nearly all the time. The irreprcslblo photographer is also the bane of his existence. The child is "taken" nearly ever month , in every possible pose , It Is doUbtless the wearisome repetition of this wearisome preceding which makes him look so melancholy in all his pictures. The young king is very generous and even when quito a baby ho never took his alter- noon promenade without first filling his pockets with small coins , bright cad fresh from the mint and stamped in his likeness. 'These he scattered right and left to the numerous beggars , calling out as he showered - ered his royal bounty , "Tonic , " take. Little Aiphonso has always had a re- niarkablo appetite and he is particularly fond of that German dish , sausage. One ( lay his governess said he must not eat of a certain ( lish , as it was bad for him , "Then why did you put it before nie ? " was the poser propounded by the littio kingly gourmand. The young king gave a lesson in manners to a famous general , who said to him one day , " 110w do you do , Alfonaino ? " Alphonso measuring the gentleman from head to foot , said , "I am Alfonsino to my mother only ; to you and everybody else I am his majesty. " With his "baby troopera" the king is getting experience in army maneuvers.

Pbd.Iltug aind 5nflhig Tandcnas. Tandem racec arepopular and quite excit- log , because' considerable ktlt Is necessary tn orior to avoid tipping over. A tandem consists of two tubs connected by a plank three feet long and one-half foot wIde. Figure 4 shows the manner of con- fleeting , each end of the planks to the tubs. A 18 the rim of a tub ; B a piece of some tough wood , cut convexly to fit on the inside - side , and C , two bolts which run through the sides of the tub. Paddles areofton used with tandems , but In ardor to keep the balance what. Is known as a balance pole must be resorted to. Fig- tire ii shows this. Its size must. be regulated - lated by tim taste and strength of him who uses ft. . The poles average , I suppose , from six to seven feet in length , with feet ( A-B ) eighteen by six inches. Figure 6 shows one of the so-called feet being decked over , s LOU wiii , ot course , make these as light as I 1 possible. A framework covered with canvas - vas is really best. The balance polo after practice may ho handled very dextrously and enable a tubber to keep right side up in comparatively rough water. They are euntetimes hold under the bend of the knees , but generaiiy four uprights , like oarlocku , ' are used to hold theni iii place. A saIling tandem : On the connecting plank rig a step for your mast as shown in figure 7 ; also four uprights to hold your balance Dele , If you wIsh to devote the tandem entirely to saiiing extend the con- neeting plank across Ltc'h tub and fasten on both sides , This vIii stiffen your work considerably. Then cover the tubs with canvas or light boards. This will prevent the danger of swamping. You can now crowd on sail without. cml , and if you tip over , which is not probable , you can easily right your boat (7) ( ) again and continue with the losa of very little time. The course for a sailing tandem must be determined at the time by the direction of the wind , for these racers , extremely seaworthy - worthy , as far as carrying sail or standing rough water is concerned , have a decided tendency to steer their own course , in spite of all ( lint bands and feet can do , A sail- lag tandem is supposed to hold but one occupant , and ho sits astride. the connecting - ing plank. I have seen eenterboards , rudders - ders and leeboards attached , hut though , of ' course , these help , you must not expect to sail close hauled. A good program for a day's racing is as follows : A twenty-live , fifty and 100 yards single tub race ; 100 nail 200 yards tandem ictiii race ; 200 yards tandem , with paddies and balance pole ; sailing tandem race , course to be ( iCCilCtl by the wind , Such a program should be easily carried out at any resort near the water. ! 4uiiit.

It the committee finds no goad reason for objecting , it will notify the applicant that his eptry has been aeceited , , Entry fees are a mistake , for anything ho injured if left until next morning , he skinned the animal and took out the viscera. By the tiino ho had done , night had come and ho decided to remain with his meat Instead of seeking camp hr the darkness. So , wrapping the huge hide around him , flesh aide out , ho lay down and slept very comfortably until morning. On awaking. ho found himself tightly Imprisoned in the hide , which had frozen hard in the night and now resisted all his efforts to escape. Hour after hour roiled by In agony to the captain. Ho yelled at the top of his voice for help and strained and kicked with all his might at the rawhide enclosure , but it proved stubborn to the last degree. Ho ( loubtiess swore many a bitter oath , for ho was of too irrasciblo a temperament to aub- mit tamely. lIe expected hIs comrades to search for him , and they did , but with a great deal of caution , fearing that ho had been killed by the Indians , His prolonged absence could ho accounted for In no other way. Ho gave tip all hope of extricating himself as the hours wore away , but help which ho had not thought of , was to save him from a death which would have been extremely mortifying-at the least-to a man who had escaped 1ndlan bullets and swam Icy rivers like a beaver. We .will let him relate the Issue in his own words. "Well , the sun came out in the afternoon , and this softened the hide on the top so I could git one arm out , and when I got one arm out I worked like pizen until I got my body through.

Ahphonso is not afraid to speak his mind , as the following story shows : One time when attending mass , when he was a mere infant , the priests were mumbling the prayers in quite unintelligible fashion , when the king suddenly cried out in a loud voice , to the merriment and dismay of the congregation - gregation , "Habehla. usted mas forte tremble , " which in English would be , "Speak up , old chaps.

" Two little tots were watching the clouds near the horizon ono evening when one cx- claimed : "Oh , see the sheet lightning !

Sacri- flea anti sufferingi honorable wounds re- ceivctl while fighting for the flag ! Those have made heroes of the men whom many worthy citizens were halt-inclined to despite - spite a few months ago. There is an old gunner's mate on the battleship Oregon who has heen In ( ho service - ice for over thirty years , lie polished and cared for the nine-inch smooth-bore guns of time olil navy , transferred his affections to the wicked sixty-pounders when they were in vogue anti has finally atlopted as hits pet and ride one of the nionster tlmir- teen-inch beauties of the Oregon , lie cannot - not read a word , and signs the pay master's , rolls with a cross , yet he knows the intricate - cato mechanism of a brecchloader as a scholar tines the alphabet and he can hit a canvas hull's eye 2,000 yards away with an ehevcn hundred pound projectile as easily as an expert pool player can make a pocket. 'lime Oregoim's Decisive Shots , When the ill-fated ships of Admiral Cer- vera's fleet poked theIr noses past Morro Castle in their desperate and theatrical at. tempt to escape from Samitiago harbor , this grizzled old gunner's mate was engaged in his usual task , that of lovingly ahtinimig up ( lie glossy coat of his thtrteen-inch pride. \\'hen the cry vent up that the enemy was escaping and the drums and bugles and gongs hastily sounded general quarters , lie gave a few finishing touches to the muzzle , ( lien quietly took his station in the turret. Presently turning to a. young seaman gunner - nor next to him be said : "Charlie , I'll bet you a month's pay that I make a bettor shot at the Dago beggars than you. What d'ye say ? " "Done , " was the prompt reply. Ten mm- mites later ( ho old gunner's mate squinted lila eye along the sight , sIgnaled the man at the training lever to ease off a. little , took the range from the officer In charge of the division , then gave the firing lanyard a quiche jerk. When the smoke lifted the eager watchers saw a great yawning hole in the port b'ow of the Almirante Oquendo. A cheer came from the men in the turret and the old veteran glanced triumphantly toward the seaman gunner. The latter's turn soon came. The Oquendo , battered and helpless , drifted ashore in flames. The Oregon - gen , accompanied by the Brooklyn , sped on after the fleet-tooted Colon. The rapid-fire batteries of both American ships rattled am ? shrieked after the fugitive. The eight-inch guns rumbled an unceasing chorus as they belched forth their steel shells and occasion- as its keynote one pregnant word-4'raC tice !

There he spent a number of months under theoretical anti practical tuition In the science of gunman- hiip. When he graduated at the end of the course lie was detailed to the Newport ( or- liedo school and there absorbed more scion- tub training. A few weeks spent In a private arms mantifactory and he was returned - turned to the service-and to his bluejacket's uniform-as a seaman gunner. Although almost litted for a commission , lie is nernllt- ted to occupy a position paying hint the meagre salary of 35 a iiionth nmmil rations. There are many young men such as lie in our naval service , They are to be foumitl on every ship and there are hundreds anil hiutidreds of naval apprentices in trainIng for the same station.

"You fire real shots ? " ho exclaimed. "it costs very much , " In that last sentence wIll be fount ? one of the most potent reasons for the defeat of the Spanish naval vessels during the present war.
