When the naval and military maneuvers
on the eastern coast are completed, the
people of America will probably discover
that the coast defenses are equal to the
task of preventing the capture of the prin
cipal cities of the Atlantic seaboard. They
may also learn that the American navy
Is equal to the task of blockading any har
bor and Is also able to throw shells from
the sea Into the midst of several cities
otherwise safe from naval attack.

strong navy are the best guaranty of per

Home Life of Schwab
(Continued from Fourth Page.)
lege chaplain to the time of his death, was
tho boy's teacher. Charlie was an apt pu
pil and became passionately fond of the
Instrument. Several of the Sisters of
Mercy at the convent also aided Charlie In
his musical studies, paying particular at
tention to his voice. Every Sunday be
tween the time that Charlie learned muelo
and his going away be played the church
organ and sang. At times he also as
sisted In serving mass.
A I in oat an Actor.
Charlie Schwab's love of music almost
kept him from bring the president of the
world's greatest trust.
'It was this way," one of his relatives
says: "An old man of the name of Aber-
nathy used to live here. When his first
wife died no one around here would marry
him, so he wont away somewhere and got
another. Mrs. Abernathy No. 2 had a sis
ter who was on the stage named Mary
Russell. Mary was here on a visit one
summer. Charlie got sweet on her and
loafed around on old man Abernathy's
doorstep all day and pretty nearly all
night. Seems as if the girl was gone on
Charlie, too. Well, to make a long story
short, Charlie wanted to marry her. She
told Charlie that the stage was the place
for a nice fellow like him who could play
so well and sing so sweetly.
"But all Charlie's people were dead set
against Charlie's marrying an actress and
going on the stage, so after a good deal of
hard work Charlie was kept from running
away with the girl, as he'd raved he would
do. Tiieu luo girl went away nd after a
little Charlie went to Braddock."
This was Charlie Schwab's only love af
fair as long as he lived in Loretto. For
some reason or other he wasn't so popular
with the country lassies as his classmates
and companions, the Flick boys, "Mike"
Pfaff, now farmer. Charlie Adelsberger and
Charles Singer, Joe Bengle, storekeeper In
the railroad town of Gallltzln; John Topper
and others. They could always find girls
who would go to picnics and barn dances
-nd husking bees with them. Charlie often
had to go alone. Loretto gossips declare
that Charlie persisted in talking too much
arithmetic.

But If he did not shine In love he did In
quoits. He was champion quoit pitcher of
Loretto. "Yes," says Paddy Moran, "he'd
bring horses over to be shod and while
waltln' he'd pitch quoits, and he'd wallop
'Bill' that's his uncle who keeps a gro
cery up the street a piece and Joe Bengle
and the other lads who loafed with Charlie.
He could wallop me, too.
"But he couldn't shoe a horse. Onre
he wanted me to let him try. 'Paddy,'
he says, 'I can shoe a horse,' 'Ob, go on,'
I says, 'you can't shoe yourself, your daddy
has to do it for you.' I says. But Charlie
thought he could, so I let him try. Well,
first whack h'e gave at a nail he hit the
horse's leg and the horse kicked. Charlie
picked himself up, 'Paddy, I believe you're
right,' he says. And he never tried again,
but he loafed around here often watchln'
me and talkin' to me. You- seta, Charlie,
and me are about the same age I'm a little
older so we've Just about come up together
and we're close friends."
Quoits frequently got Charlie Into troublu
with his mother. The house where the
Schwabs lived when they first came to Lo
retto, and before John Schwab built the
present home, Joined the livery stable.
Whenever she wanted Charlie Mrs. Schwab
was pretty sure to find him In front of the
table pitching horseshoes. She would call
to her offspring. Charlie would keep on
pitching and yelling at his companions.
Mr, i-chwrb wculd call again. Charlie would
stay by the quoit pegs. Next minute the
occupants of the badly whittled boxes Id
front of the neighboring stores would be
hold an Irate mother, horsewhip In hand,
scatter the youthful quoit pitchers and, all
triumphant, lead Charlie into the house,
protesting, "Honest, mammy, I never heard
you call."
It was Mrs. Schwab who Insisted that
Charlie should go to college. "I want him
to get all the education possible," she said,
"then If he still wants to help his father in
the livery stable, all right." So she saw to
It that Charlie went to college and kept at
his books.

had no definite idea as to what he wanted
to do. For a time he worked a little about
the livery stable and loafed more. Then a
cousin of his mother, Captain M. F. Mc
Donald, who ran a grocery store here,
wanted to make a clerk of Charlie. The
boy was all ready to take the Job when A.
J. Spiegelmlre came to Loretto on a visit.
Mr. fp egelmire had lived formerly In Lo
retto. He was part owner of a general mer
chandise store In Braddock. He offered him
a clerkship at 7 a week. Charlie accepted.
But young Schwab wasn't cut out for a dry
goods clerk. At the end of five months Mr.
Spiegelmlre's partner, W. A. McDevilt, in
formed Charlie politely that as he couldn't
tell calico from gingham after all these
months he'd better look out for another Job.
Charlie "looked out" so well that up to
date W. A. McDevltt has the distinction of
being the only man who ever discharged
Charles M. Schwab.
Between Schwab and Spiegelmlre there Is
an attachment that Is the Joke of all
Loretto. Whenever Schwab comes to town
everybody says, "Well, I see Charlie Is
back again. Guess A. J. will be along pretty
soon." A. J. generally does "be along"
pretty soon and makes straight for the
Schwab house.
Spiegelmlre loves to chaff his ex-employe
with, "Well, Charlie, I'm responsible for
your success. I saw it In you, took you to
Braddock and gave you your chance." One
day recently after Spiegelmlre had told this
to a crowd of Loretto folk Schwab turned
the tables by saying:
"I'll grant you that, Spiegelmlre, if you'll
pay me the last week's wages I earned In
your store. You've never squared the ac
count." Pointed Paragraphs

The Artist's Joke
Brooklyn Eagle; The writer was de
scribing a crowd gathered on a gala oc- '
caslon.
"The stands," he wrote, "were draped
with people."
He paused to reflect.
"Rather a neat way of putting It," he
said, by way of tossing himself a bouquet.
Then the Btory went to the artist, who
read It with care.
"I am told." said the artist, "that my
pictures do not always fit the text. Clearly
It Is up to me to show that I can 'follow
copy In this matter.".
So be draped the stands with people.
They hung In gay festoons from pillars
and posts, some by the hands and some by
the feet, and some hung hammock-like by
both hands and feet. Never was a story
so realistically . pictured. And yet and
yet
The feud between writer and artist still
exists.
His Free Will Offering
Chicago Tribune: "What's that $5 kept
cut of my salary for?" demanded the em
ploye of the state institution.
"That's your voluntary contribution for
campaign purposes," blandly replied the
, superintendent.
I "But It isn't a voluntary contribution.
I You've no right to hold it out on me. That
wasn't In the bargain. I never heard any
thing about it before. It Is a gouge and I
wou't stand It!"
I "But you have to pay It, you know, or
I lose your Job. Does It go?"
"Y yes."
' "Well, that's why we call It voluntary."
He Wanted Limes
New York Times: A recent visitor to
Maine tells of an amusing experience in
the "Prohibition state." Anticipating the
difficulty of getting things to drink' there,
he took with him an amp'e supply of "mak
ings" for gin rlckeys, all except the limes,
which he supposed he could procure any
where. The day after arriving at his destination,
a small towu near tke Rangeley lakes, he
went to the only store aud arfked the clerk
If he kept any limes. The clerk though:
a moment and replied, tentatively:
"We've got chloride of lime and quick
lime, If those'll do you."
