'Ifearcery had land faded from view,"
writes JimH F. flmlth, former governor
general of the Philippines, describing In
the Sunset Magaxlne tha first expedition
to tha Inland following the victory of
Manila bay, "when Captain Glass of the
convoy opened his sealed order, and
with flna Irony, enjoying, secrecy, pub
lished the welcome Information that tho
expedition waa to "atop t " on the way
and capture Guam. Whether Guam wa
a city, Island or man-of-war wna a sub
ject of much debate. All were agreed,
however, that the Intention to benevo
lently assimilate it wna a good thing
which ahould be withheld from the press
and regarded a strictly confidential. A
dot upon the charts supported by the
Ipse dixit of a quartet of master mari
ner finally convinced the doubting thai
Guam waa a bit of land entirely sur
rounded by water. And so, on June 20
at daybreak, cruiser and transports, by
virtu of a aacred compact and a lack
of wireless, eteal upon It unheralded and
unannounced. With rigging and every
vantage point crowded with men whose
pulses beat time to their excitement tne
transports take their place five or six
mllea off shore and await the coming
conflict. In plain view the Charleston la
creeping along the outer line of reefs
and there, rrni a hidden cove, with a
bona la Its teeth, a great Spanish cruiser,
ghostly in tha hate, comes out to meet
It And then, just when everybody la on
tha tiptoe of expectation, the hate lifts,
and a whopping fighting craft of high
degree melts Into a poor little Japanese
fishing schooner gently bobbing to Its
anchor.
What a disappointment! nut right be
yond the cove Is the headland that marks
the entrance to tha port of Ban Juan de
Aprs. The old broken-back book, dug
out of the captain's locker by searchers
hungry for Information, declares In print
that this, the safest anchorage of Guam
(which wasn't saying much, considering
tha fata of tha Yosemlte) Is protected by
a fort upon the bluffs and by a fortified
Island In the center of tha harbor. Surely
there will be something uolng when the
Charleston seeks to enter there. And now
tha cruiser, dull as a misty morning In Us
clothes of somber gray, swings to port
und slips Into the r.rrow channel di
rectly under where the bold-faced type
hn said the fort Is sure to be and not
a ahot Is fired! The garrison must be
asleep, or maybe It la permitting the en
trance of the vessel to make Ita destruc
tion certain, or maybe thla or maybe
that any m.ng to keep alive the hope that
tbe colosaeum of half-circled transports
may not be denied the nerve-tingling
spectacle of battling men,- Hang! Bang!
Nine times bang go the guns of the
Charleston. A hush of expectation and
then a great silliness!
Call of tne t aetata. . '
Wbat has happened T Why, nothing, ex
cept that a dinky little rowboat has put
off from shore With 'the Spanish colors
gaily flying from the stern. Not a bit
of whlu is fluttering from It anywhere,
and every gunner Is eager to potshot It
aa It meanders through tbe coral reefs.
Captain Glass won't have It that way,
however, and permits the flagship of
Guam to come alongside without objec
tion. With great deliberation a boy In
else but a man In dignity and years, glit
tering with the gold lace of a Spanish
major, mounts the ladder lowered for his
reception, gravely touches his cap to the
commanding officer, and then, through
an Interpreter, presents his thanks for
the salute Just tendered, and expresses
regret that he couldn't return it for lack
of powder. Now, what do you think ot
thatT A silly grin broadens the faoea of
the circumjacent sallormen. This Is too
much for the big, kind heart ot Captain
Glass, who takes the good major to the
seclusion of his quarters and there very
gently explains that Spain and the United
feiates have been at war for mora than
alxty days. Tha major, who receives his
dally paper as often as twice a year, Is
properly sorry that such a thing should
bo and, rising, solemnly announces that
under the circumstances ho must retire
and prepare him for the fray.
I "Why, my dear man," says the captain
"you can't do that. Don't you see you
are my prisoner and that I must ask you
to surrender at one tha Island and all
1 your forces T"
Tha major argues earnestly that he Is
a victim of deceit and that he has been
Induced to come on board by false ere-tema-aVf-C

, pretenses have not been planned, pre

and malignant heart, with malic afore

fooled he has been and ot that fact no
.-aballero, that I no worthy cabellero
such as was the captain, might, could,
would or should advantage take. That
word "caballero" did the business. The
major was permitted' to depart, with a
warning that surrender must be made by
S o'clock p. m. ot that day or the Island
would be surrounded by one of the tran
sports, besieged, bombarded, undermined,

EXERCISE FOR THE FAT MAN
Asserted Staata Wfclrk Are WtN
rested Rrdaee the
Croat.
Physical training to enable a waa to
break athletlo records or to produce ex
aggerated muscular development should
have no place In tbe program of the
average person after tha age of 8 or SO
years, Tbe aim from that time should
be merely to keep In a condition of heal Lb
and efficiency.
first and chiefly there la ths fat anas
to be considered. Drugs will not cure
him nor restore his physical and mental
efficient: but one hour of blood circula
ting exercise every day will secure this
desirable result, and It may be taken In
the following manner:
Hefore getting out of bed In the morn
ing come to a sitting posture with tha
hands at the aides of the thighs snd re
peat the exercise until a slight feeling
of fatigue Is felt In the abdominal mus
cles1. As one becomes stronger after a
week's practice tbe same exercise may be
taken with the arms folded across the
breast, and finally It can be Intensified
by Bitting up with the arms extended be
hind the bead. The movements may be
varied by raising tbe lega to a vertical
position and also by drawing tbs knees
as fteavr the chla aa possible, Viva min
utes of this work dally will do much
good.
After getting out ot bed all clothing
should be removed so that the air coming
In through the open windows may simu
late the akin to a healthy action while
taking the following exercises: With the
hands placed upon the hips or extended
horixontally at the sides, turn or twist
the body from aide to side aa far as pos
sible. Next spread the feet, place the
tips ot tha fingers upon the shoulders,
bend to the right side, keeping the left
leg straight; touch the floor with the
right hand snd extend the left hand
toward the ceiling and ropeat the exer
cise right and eft alternately. Tills ex
ercise stirs- up the Uver.
Take tha attitude ot a boxer and strike
out vigorously while holding a pair ot
light wooden dumbbells or, better, punch
the striking bag for a few minutes. Fol
low the above exercises with a cool
sponge bath and rub dry with a moder
ately coarse towel. Hegln the exercise
slowly and gradually Increase It until It
can be taken in ten or fifteen minute
dotes.
The breakfast should be light, consist
ing prlni.'tpatly of fruit, cereals, with
Bklmmwl milk, and In some special rases
where one feels that he must have It a
small allowance ot lean beefsteak or
chops may be eaten. The beat drink at
all times Is water, and coffee should be
gradually dropped from the menu.
After breakfast a brisk walk of fifteen
minutes to tbe car or office will clear the
brsln tor tha work ot the day. Fifteen
minutes walk to tha place of luncheon
will give one an appetite tor thla meal
which should be more generous than the
breakfast, consisting of almost anything
the appetite craves excepting starches,
sugars and fats. After a short rest and
another walk to the office the business
of the afternoon may be taken up.
The above light training takes one hout
each day, and while It will do much for
the average buiiie!-s man in the nay ot
improved health arid strength It is advis
able If he wishes to get the greatest bene
fit from exercise and to reduce lila weight
to Indulge In some vigorous sweat pro
ducing exercises three or four times a
week. For this purpose tennis, aa.ua h
racquets, hand ball or brink walking after
business hours will bring about the
detdred result. After the day's exercise
a warm bath followed by a cold shower.
cr better still a cold plunge, will make
one feci like a new man.
After a day spent In this manner there
Is a great temptation to cat a hearty
dinner and no harm can resut from such
a course It pastry, gravies, condiments
fat meats and the heavier kinds of fish,
such a salmon, mackerel, trout and hail
but, are taboo. All kinds of vegetables
may be eaten excepting potatoes, sweet
corn and beets, w hich should be Vateti
sparingly If at all. Ales, wines and
liquors must be avoided In all training,
light or heavy, it the best resuts are to
be obtained. It Is best to avoid tobacco,
yet a s&od cigar or pipe after luncheon
or dinner for those who amoks ran do
