Army and navy officers are always a bit in awe of politicians, though their whole some respect Is tempered by the reflection that a man's political life is usually short. But it is sometimes a dangerous thing to Incur the displeasure of these fellows who get elected term after term. There was the case of Sklrvlngton of Ours and Ben But ler, for Instance. Sklrvlngton was a Maine man, but he had been stationed south right after the war, and the soldiery down there in reconstruction days pretty gener ally sympathized with the south in what It had to stand. -' Some of the southern feeling against Butler percolated: Up into New England lUelf. But, although . I was myself born not much abova' tae-S. latitude of New Or leans, and like southerners better than any other people lit the world. I never thought Butler was .such'' a terrible fellow. He went on Sherman's principle that war i hell, and the helller you made it the quicker It was over and suffering1 was saved in the long run. Started in rough right off. In Norfolk he even jailed the Episcopalian rector for alleged treasonable utterances In the pulpit, Dr. Wingfleld, afterward bishop of California. Had him In convict garb sweeping the streets. Had a kind of penchant for arresting Episcopalians. Jailed several In New Or leans for praying for the confederate pres ident after we had taken the city. "Your church, wherever it Is, prays for the ruler of that particular country, according to the set form in your prayer book. We are In control here now, and President Lincoln Is your ruler." They all saw the point ex cept Dr. Lcacock, and he was In and out of Jail right along. Well, Ben was in Portland. Me., In 1866, making speeches and he wanted to address the popuiace from a little balcony of the leans for praying for the confederate pres of ours, was on furlough, and, going home to Rockland, he had the room that led to the balcony. The proprietor asked him If he had any objection to General Butler passing through his room. "No," said Skirvington. "If you will put a policeman In my room to watch my things." Wall, by George, the proprietor did put a policeman In there, and all the while Ben was talking the policeman stood there. Affected the general's oratory, too em barrassment and indignation. Story was all over town by night and went around Maine and did a good deal to counteract Ben's labors In that state In that campaign. The utter contempt of It, you know a northern soldier putting the stamp of belief on the southern charg-es-lt did Ben lots of Injury, thought when Sklrvlngton said It, he prob ably meant It only as a somewhat malicious little gibe that no one but the landlord would hear. Next session of congress, Sklrvlngton had been promoted to the lieutenant colonelcy of the regiment. Got his new straps. All done except the ordinary, routine, perfunc tory confirmation by congress. But, by thunder, he wasn't confirmed! Most amand man In America. ' Old Ben Butler was In congress, and he hadn't forgotten- who James Skirvington was and what he had said In Portland. Sklrvlngton was out, plumb out of thv army! Another man had been promoted to his place as major and confirmed, "vice Skirvington," it was distinctly stated In orders, and his attempt to get a decision that he was still major accordingly failed. And he wasn't a lieutenant colonel Just Mr. Skirvington of Maine. No Juke at his time of life to be trying to learn some new wsy of-making a living after being in the army since 18. Next congress Skirvington tried to get reinstated, but Ben was there and unfor getting. He kept Sklrvlngton out from 1W7 to 1875, when for the only time between "i7 and '79 Ben was out of congress. Skirving ton got his bill for relief through, and il was too late for Butler to touch him when the next election brought him (Butler) back Wj congress. Pretty dear Joke at Butler's expense, and Sklrvlngton got so he hated Louisiana, al most as much as he did Butler, for If he hadn't Imbibed the Louisiana feeling so much when stationed there he wouldn't have said what he did about the general.

Mr. Browne and Prof. Parker were with Cook when he attempted the ascent of Mount McKlnley In September, 1906. According to Dr. Cook's assertion. Parker and the rest of the party turned back, and Cook was left with two guide to complete the ardu ous Journey to th summit, which tower Into the clear, cold ether above the Arctic waste to a height of 20,464 feet, a de termined by trigonometrical measurements. Prof. Parker's party Intends to go from Seattle by steamship to Cook Inlet-named for the gallant English explorer of the eighteenth century on the coast of Alaska. They will proceed thence by motorboat to the foot of the Chullna glacier, where they will establish their permanent camp and base of operations. The whole southern side Of th mminl.ln J . I .....,, ,,m approacnes are a terra incognita. The Fairbanks expedition, which has Just reported that it climbed the mountain, made its way up the northern face, taking a month for the Journey. It Is certain that In the little known Canadian "hinterland" on the Alaskan border there are mountains rivaling Mc Klnley In height. If not excelling it. Mt. Logan, In Canada. Just over the American border line, is 19,539 feet In height, and was long believed to enjoy th primacy among American mountains.

Some years ago Edward Wymoer. con queror or tne Matterhorn in 1865, tried to raise i&o.ooo for an expedition to ascend Mount Everest, highest of all mountains, which, as Is well known, Is barely over 29.000 feet. His plan was to establish many camps and live for a little while at aaca, in order to become acclimated, and In his rlew tha attainment of the summit by this moans was feasible. He did not succeed In raising th necessary funds and was forced to relinquish his project. Th height of me greatest mountain summit. i i. i need not prove a deterrent to th ambi tious climber. There Is no doubt that th Fairbanks ex pedition went to work by th more rw proved method to reach the toD of Mount McKlnley, the successive camps and their deliberate progress enabling them to be come accustomed to the excessive rarefar tlon of th air. It Is by som auch pro cedure that th frosty summits of th Himalayas will be eventually attained, un less the ascent is accomplished by the dar ing flight of an aviator before the pedes trian climber has succeeded In reaching th crest of "Th Abode of Snow."

In a little eastern village, a remarkable man, whose successful career is a sufficient Illustra tion of th fact that greatness can be achieved only by concentrating one's ef fort on a single thing. This man's whiskers were twelve feet long. Think of twelve of real whiskers. This man took up whiskers culture as his life work more than forty years ago. He was a young man then, and Ilk most young men, he desired to distinguish him self. But all th avenues to greatness seemed crowded, and greatness ltelf seemed a relative term. It waa Impossible to succeed to greatly In business. In law. In Journalism, In any of the professions, as to distance all other. This man wanted to attain an unapproachable height, to do something that no other man had ever done. And while he cast about for an op portunity, his whisker were growing. In those days most men wore wtf.skers, and this observant young man noticed that whiskers were much the same. One man had red whiskers and anoher had black whiskers, but a third had sorrel whiskers, but they were all about the same length. The chief difference wa that some men had a good stand of whiskers, and others had a poor stand. Profound thought con vinced cur hero that the possibilities In the line of whiskers had never been apprec iated, and he determined to achieve a beard that would go down In history as a hum dinger. Having marked out a path for his feet, he never swerved from it. He devoted all his attention to his whiskers. By day he anointed them, and sprayed them, and kept the bird away; In the cool of the evening ho took hi whisker for an ailing in the shady lanes, where the air was, pure and wholesome. At night he kept his whiskers In a sack so that they would not be rumpled. In the old days of the dime musee he was always a star attraction. He sat on an elevated chair, and hU whiskers fell to the floor In graceful cascades, and were strung out along1 'the aisle. He received more money than any of the bearded ladles, living skeletons, or tatooed Greeks. Such attractions were common, but there was only one man with twelve feet of whiskers. He died rich, honored and respected, and his whiskers were burled with him. His career should be an Incentive to every young man who complains that there are no op portunities. Emporia (Kan.)

One hundred and fifty-one fighting ships were launched for the various navies of the world In 1909, according to Lloyds' an nual returns. They had a collective dis placement of 404,476 tons, approximately 100,000 tons greater than the ships of th preceding year. In both 1901 and 1904, how ever, a smaller number of naval vessel aggregated a greater displacement 467.547 and 436.008 tons, respectively. Of the 1909 naval launching, twenty-seven vessels, with a total tonnage of 99,116, were to th order of the German navy; Great Britain was a good second, with thirty-five vessels, of 98,790 tons; France had nineteen vessels i of 95,740 tons, and the United State lagged along well In th rear, with fifteen vessels of 48,639 ton. The table giving th naval launching fig ures for the first ten years of tha cen tury Is of interest, as showing the very wide variations in most navies from year to year: ' Tons.
