favoritism in military appoinincnts is becoming -
coming notorious , and kicks thick and fnpt
have been forthcoming. Uncle Sam's volunteers -
unteers , while they are the best fighters on
earth , are not wax figures , to be imposed up-

political favorites was In the case of Henry

had worked the hardest to see that the corn-

heavy drafts on the hospitality of the ofilcers

111011 attl women. The crew were engaged
in starving and t , aping out stores. On the
nmui deck stood one of the bfg hogsheads
packed full of beer bottles that had been
emptled. The hogshead tilled with empty-
bottles wns about to bo ltoisteti. As the
bottles stuck out of the packing straw' there
was no way of telling whether they wore
filled or eiupty. The Stmday school tencli-
ens figured It that the bottles were loaded
nud they looked upon the ltogshcnd with
eyes of dtsnpproral , They lick ! a conference
anions themselves over the hinted hogshead

knew that llte hogahesd was what iulicd the
emissary. But be didn't let on.
"how's that ? " he inquired.
The emissary told about the enormous
hogsbead filled with beer bottles.
"It is simply shlockhmg , " he sold ,
"Shocking ! Weli , I should say so ! " cx-
claimed Schley. I'll attend to the matter at

Schley rushed out of his cabin , followed
by the emissary.

as he reached the main deck , "scud mo a

Time bands were aft lnstanthy.
"Rig a tackle and dump that hogshead
over the side , " ordered Schley.
The sailors , who inmesv the bottles wore
empty , grhtned , but In a jiffy they had the
hogelead over the side and at the bottom.
The Sunday school teacher's looked on ap-
I pt'ovingly and when time hogshead hind dis-
