EMPEROR'S JOKE.

We ga» in the commander's private cabin ofH. M. S.—shall wo anySV-Shatterer. One mustn't give actual nimkes, for obvious rensons. I was the guest of my cousin, who had braved the slow promotion of the navy, and, cs a result, now controlled the destinies of the first class cruiser aforesaid. I had drifted into journalism, and my slight knowledge of things nautical bad secured me tho somewhat coveted post of special correspondent to London daily during the naval maneuvers. Luckily I was able to "stow my hammock," so to speak, in my cousin's ship, and now tvs lay, after the completion of tho programme, in Southampton warer, tho temporarily estranged fleets joined once more in friendly unity In two long lines ut regulation distance the pick of Britain's first defense lay at their anchors The sitn&tion, combined with my remark on the sailor's immersion, had evidently recalled certain memories to the mind of Cousin Clynche, as we always called him I made haste to benefit thereby and under a solemn promise of secrecy listened to the following yarn: "I must leave you to guess tho year. It is not 60 very long ago I was second on the Blaster at the time, tho flagship, with old Benbrace In command. She was in che reserve squadron, under Admiral Culmore, and beaded the A division of nine ships told off to keep the division, under old Half/igale, from devastating tho shores of Great Britain We each bad our share of torpedo boats and destroyers, and for a fortnight in July had maneuvered and outmaneuvered each other to the solemn satisfaction of the lords and tho unspeakable disgust of .lack "We hud had midnight alarms (utterly foolish to tho minds of tho 'tween decks), the usual number of breakdownsand lamo ducks, mingled with occasional narrow shaves from collision, which last were hugely appreciated by the men as savoring of real danger. However, all that was over The combined squadrons were anchored, vory much as we are now, in a well known boy on tho south coast, prior to taking up their stations for tho year Wo had added three or four line of battle shipB that year, and a very Imposing show they made as thoy flanked the fleet of 20 of tho finost ironclads in the world These additions toourdofense had been the cause of much heartburning to our continental neighbors. They disliked intensely to see tho mistress of tho seas lengthening her alroady all poworful arm, and the press of thoir respective countrios had some bitter roraarks to inako on tho 'arrogant display of armed forco.' os they chose to term it Thero is no doubt that such comments only reflected tho views of tho heads of such countries, and Germany was specially vonomou.i on tho subject The young gentleman who at that time controlled the destinies of the fatherland and whose desire to trend In tho footsteps of the immortal Alexander had drawn down upon him more than ono pcvore snub from Whitehall, was especially savage. To think that he, tho all accomplished ruler of a country twlco tho size of England, could not show half the numborof ships was humiliating, and if only by some magic stroke he could consign Britain's reserve squadron to the bottom of the sea what a happy monarch he would bot All this, you say, has nothing to do with our naval tactics and my sensational experience 1 have my own opinion on that point "Well, there we wero aftor all tho strain and worry of inlinlo batfclo lying snugly In bay From tho papers which we woloomcd (malls are a pleasing uncertainty at maneuvers), wo saw that William was making an Inspection of his North sea ports In ono of his fustest turret ships, accompanied by whole fleot of torpedo boats Why he should tack on so many small fry to his train was a mystery, but. then, ho had his peculiar woys. No doubt In his absence from his beloved guards ho solaced himself by drilling these rakish llttlo craft Ho had also notified tho French government that he would pay a friendly visit, to Calais and do himself tho honor of Inspecting the new dock almost completed there Kngland, howovcr, did not seem to bo included in tho programme The sight of our Hooting armament might have proved too much for his feelings "His arrival nt Calais had just been noted the day before we came to anchor Tho evening was fine, but extremely dark. No shore leave had been granted, but there was a feeling of reloxntlr ^throughout tho licet, and the hands ha indulged Inan extra hour of skylarking (.lack will have his daily skylark.) After mess some of us had settled ourselves on deck, and, by and by, as tho noises cettsctl and the lights went out ono might from the fooling of solitude hnvo imagined oneself In the middle of tho Indian ocean. Tho pitchy darkness added to the effect. We had no shore lights to brighten up the coast, somo five miles off 1 could hear midnight fairly striking from somo village clock Tho watch was being chap- d, and I was thinking of turning t»- hen ono of tho newly installed A.

A lifebuoy was thrown and the cutter afloat lnsldo of two minutes "To aid in tho recovery—though Murphy's howls sufficiently betrayed his whereAbout*—tho searchlight was turned otv The Irishman was soon picked up, and received a volley of chaff from hi9 messmates when It was seen he bad come to nn harm. As the searchlight swept round seaward before closing down my eyes involuntarily followed Us beams Suddenly its light fell on shadowy hull, then another, and yet a third, lying, as nearly as I could judge, about half a mile from our ship. 1 was first niuaited, then startled. What

these be In such close proximity

our fleet and without lights of any kind? As I rose to report their presence 1 distinctly heard a metallic clang borne across the still water from the direction of the shadows Tho fall of a breech block, and a heavy one, too, or I'm a Dutchma I muttered as I made for the officer of watch What devilment Is this, I won der.*' Young Purchase promptly ordered the searchlight to bear on the distant ob jeots, quite invisible without its aid. As the light slowly revolved we oounted li crnft to seawanl, all lying in darkness but another surprise was tn store for us As the light completed its circuit we dis oovored between our line and the shore some ten dark patches, each one exactly opposite each ship of our Inner line. What In thunder does this mean? said Pur chase, in charge of the watch. They can't be oar colliers. They scurried off 12 hoars ago. They can't he ordinary tramps lying about like this without lights. Can It be •otne joke of old trying 10 l«t the bulge on os with bis torpedoes?" •Impossible.' ««id 1 'Why. they are

threatening his own ship, not to mention his division. Besides, you know, all oar small fry w«t enst this morning.' 'But look here, old man,' burst in Purchase eagerly. 'Suppose this Is a little game of the admiralty. They may have signaled the torpedo flotilla off the coast and sent instructions on board to bead back quietly and surronnd us, with the idea of catch ing us napping. Bat not this time, eh?' and the youngster grinned sardonically. 'Let'B have tho chief up, anyhow,' I said 'I don't like the sound of that breech block, and somehow feel uneasy.' "The position was at' once reported to old Benbrace, who, as it happened, was having a final game of chess with the ad miral. Both immediately came on deck. Admiral Culmore took one comprehensive look through bis night glass at the objects revealed by che searchlight, emitted an equally comprehensive 'D—n!' and said shortly to Benbrace, 'A cruiser and torpedo boats—foreigners! Captain, all bands on deck and to quarters Clear for action and out torpedo nets. Signal the fleet enemy in eight, clear for action and stand by to weigh anchor.' Culmore was senior in command, and in the twinkling of an eye it seemed, in response to our night signals, tho whole fleet was alive with men. Bo'suns' whistles piped shrilly, the steam windlass clattered merrily as it coiled up the huge anchor cable, electric lights flushed, and, from all the apparent confusion, perfect discipline evolved the British lion 'on guard.' 'Thought them bloomin alurms was off for the time being,' muttered a brawny A, B. as be buc kled on his cutlass and formed up in bis squad. 'They'll be the death o' me yet.' 'Mr. Clynche,' said the commander when his preparations were complete, take the gig and an armed boat's crew Board thot cruiser. Admiral Culmore's compliments to tho commander, and what the devil does it all mean? Ask if be knows the international regulations and the consequences of lying in British waters under the nose of the fleot without lights. In just a minute and a quarter I was on my way in full uniform to fulfill the captain's mission By this time lights were twinkling from our mysterious visitants. I made for the black hull of the cruiser. In less than ten minutes I had the satisfaction of hailing the fnarterdeck of tho formidable vessel.

'Vif'

at ship are you?' I

sang out. His lmpet.al majesty's ship Hoch und Hoch,' came in reply in guttural German. 'Phew!'I whistled softly 'My instructions are to board you with a message to your commander from the admiral commanding hor Britannic majesty's reserve squadron.' 'SoP' suid a voice. 'Come aboard.' "A couple of Teutons obligingly trotted down the gangway which had been lowered, and on reaching tho dock I was met with a clash of arms, as half a squad of tars came to tho 'present.' 'Uml' 1 thought, 'polite buough, anyhow,' though I marveled if it were the custom of tho service to keep their men in review order all tho night through to be ready for casual visitors like myself. 'My message is for the commander of this ship,' I said. 'Can I see him?' 'Aoh, certainly,' and 1 had hardly time to look round boforo a fat little man in a tight fitting uniform stood before mo. 'Vas can I for you do?' he murmured in indifferent English. 'Compliments of Admiral Culmpreon board hor majesty's ship Blaster, and what tho devil do you moan by surrounding the British fleet in their own waters and without lights?' Very regret, but I my orders had,' responded my little friend, rather shamefacedly I thought. 'Orders!' I eaid,

But are you not in charge of this ship and those torpedo boats?' 'Yn wohl, yes but I my orders hnf,' he repeated. 'Then, all I can say is that tho bright specimen who gave you your orders ought to thank his stars that your whole armament has not boon blown out of tho woter. I am not sure that it is too late yet,'and I made a motion as if to go. I rather enjoyed the little mini's evident discomfiture. 'No, no,' ho said vehomently. 'my superior is aboard 1 will mit him speak.' 'Show the officer below, Schenken,' interrupted a commanding voice from the open companion. I descended as requested, preced ed by tho noble captain, who, as we en tered tho .cabin, abruptly turned round and ejaculating'The Emporor!' left mo fare to face with the far famed William, saluted stiffly He had evidently heard what hod passed, as, without waiting for any explanation, ho said, 'My compliments to Admiral Culmore and I will do myself the honor of boarding his ship without delay and explaining this appar ent breach of etiquette. 'I will convey your majesty's message,' I said, and mode for tho deck As I went over tho side little Schenken whispered: 'No notice take, mine friendt. Only his leotle joke.' 'Yes,' I whispered back, 'very pretty little joke, only you din't carry it far enough. Why didn't you fire your Barbette gun? I hoard you loading her! It would have completed tho surprise, you know.' The little man started. 'Hush, say nodings, say nodings, mine friendt. Only his leetlo joke,' and 1 loft the commander of tho Hocb und Hoch looking as uncomfortable as any man oould. "As I left the ship I heard orders given for tho cutter to be launched, and before I had well got back and delivered my message his imperial mnjfcsty was almost upon us. Wo were able to receive him in a regal way, and tho wonder of tho fleet must have been amnslng when they heard the strains of the German national anthem float across tho water from our band. As to the nature of the interview that fol lowed I never knew precisely. It was giv en out that, knowing the fleet lay in this neighborhood, the emperor bad suddenly been seized with the idea of paying a sur prise visit, and to show his old friend Cul more what could be done by a little strategy had taken up his position by the lights of the fleet, just to see if the British admiral could be caught napping. From (he expression of his majesty's face as he went over the side 1 imagine that his old friend Culmore had presented bis little whim in quite another light. Of course the papers were full of it, commenting on the tireless activity of William and his unexpected friendly visit All the same,' said Cousin Clynche, throwing his cigar over the side, "you won't make me believe but that, if the enterprising emperor remained undiscovered for half an nour longer that evening each of our ironclads would have had a torpedo under her quarter, and without knowing the hand that struck the blow, we should have been wiped off the face of the «a Murphy tared us. And William? Oh, his fast, cruiser and her satellites would have been back before dawn in Calais harbor inuo cently practicing torpedo drill.

THE NEW WOMAN.

VlTo**ien Who Arc Going to the Klondike Gold Country.

is a sign of tbs progress of oar sex that women are among the pioneers to the Alaskan and Northwest Territory goldfields. There were no women among those who broke the first ground in the gold mines of California or Australia or South Africa. Yet among those'who have already "made their piles" in the Klondike and adjacent country are several strong and determined women. The members of tho Women's Klondike syn dictate who start for the gold region nest March 1 expect to succeed. In fact, they cannot fail, for they will stay on the ground till they do succeed. What other women before them have done they, too, can do, with better equip ment and the benefit of the experience of those who went first. Several of the ladies will take their sons with tbem and start tbem in the work of gold min ing. There is something especially ex cellent in this idea of mothers them selves going with their boys and help ing the young fellows to get established in a new world. The sons will not be tied backward to the mothers' apron strings, as the old sneer at woman has it. On the contrary, the strong, wise, fearless mothers will go forward, and the sons will go with them. An enterprise with mothers, and snch mothers as these, at its head will be sucoessfnl in a noble way. Mrs. S. W. McDannoid takes her son with her. She is the conductor of the expedition. It is interest ing as showing which way the wind blows to note that a large proportion of the letters of inquiry in regard to the expedition are from ladies who mention that tbey desire to go and take with them tbeir sons. A true home in flnence will thus invest the whole enterprise. Young men will not be thrown out to grow rough and reckless away from womanly influence. A man never becomes so old or so strong that he does not need and desire a pure and gentle woman influence about him. Snch influence, if it could go with the boy all the way, would save him from much of the evil and nncleanness that seek to cling to his garments. We— have I said I myself am going?—we are so full of enthusiasm over our project that we dream of it nights. We have had already a present of a gold washing machine.

The fall purchasing trade brings to New York this year a larger nnmber of women buyers for the wholesale houses tho country over than was ever known before. Women with their quick eye for color and their delioate touoh are peculiarly adapted as buyers for the dry goods trade.

A woman was lately riding a bicycle in New York city and got a bad fall. In the fall the steel of her corset broke, penetrated her body and made a terrible wound. Well, if women will be crazy enough to wear corsets on the wheel, they must expect to be maimed, crippled, pant for breath and be made ill.

A preacher who was lecturing his oongregation said, "Often I am called to marry couples when I would rather see the woman laid in her grave than to join her to such a man." Well, what did he join her to such a man for? If he felt as he said, he committed a worse crime than murder when he joined the two together. It is no sort of excuse for a minister to say when he marries a sweet young girl to a vile eld reprobate that if he did uot^o it somebody else would. He might just as well say if he did not steal a pocketbook or rob a henroost or commit a murder somebody else •Would. This saying that if we do not do a wrong thing somebody else will has ever been the devil's favorite argument to lead mankind into wickedness. The truth is that ministers themselves are the ones to blame for a very large proportion of the divorces on our court dockets. The ministers of the country roll up the whites of their eyes to heaven in horror of the constantly increasing divorce habit, never for one moment confessing even to themselves that tho divorce is merely the undoing of their own bad and hasty work. Just so long as preachers make marriage as easy as it is now just that long will divorce be correspondingly easy, and ought to be, aud all the antidivorce leagues on earth will never make it different. Ministers are beginning at the wrong end when they try to sup press divorce.

A single one of the sayings of Francis Schlatter, the healer, is proof that be was not insane. He asks, "How can women pray in a tight laced corset?" Another saying was this, "When women sacrifice artificial things and live nearer nature, Father will beal them rapidly."

Like the snapping of the string of a harp comes the annonncement that sweet Mary Kyle Dallas is no more in the flesh. She was a beantifnl, high bred looking woman, with white hair and the soft pink and white skin of a child. A child she was in gentleness, sincerity and parity. One read with surprise in the notice of her death that she was 60 years old. She looked certainly 15 years younger, and it was the everlasting youth of her heart and soul that made her look so. In the early days of the New York Ledger she was its most popular short story writer and at one time was paid by Mr. Robert Bonner $5,000 a year. Death came to her in the best and kindliest way, in the way I hope it will oome to me— quickly, without lingering suffering or painful decay of mind and body. Moo day evening, in ordinary health and ini full vigor of mental power, Mary Kyle Dallas sat at her desk finishing a piece of writing on which die was engaged. Tuesday morning she was found unconscious in her bed, and in a few hours she gently passed to the plane where she and snch as she find joy and light and the satisfactory solution of all the problems that vexed tbem here.

SHOOTING WILD HORSES.

Their Slaughter Made Legal by the Xevada Legislature. [Special Correspondence.]

HUMBOLDT, Nev.,Sept. 22.—A profitable industry has been developed in this state as a result of the passage by the legislature of an act authorizing the slaughter of wild horses. Some hundreds of men who otherwise would be out of employment are now engaged in rounding up wild horses in various sec tions of the state and are making from $5 to $10 each per day at the work. The first hunters to take advantage of the new law did even better. They shot from six to ten horses a day for some little time, but after the slaughter had become general the horses became more wary and now are hard to get at. Now, as soon as a band of these splendid animals sight a human being, be he hunter or not, they bound away over hill and plain and up the rugged canyons a$ a speed which defies pursuit and makes capture well nigh impossible.

The hides of these wild horses sell for $2 each and the hair of their manes and tails brings 15 cents a pound. It is not uncommon to find ten pounds of hair on a single horse.

The foothills, plains and valleys to the westward of the Humboldt river extending to the Black rock and Pueblo mountain ranges on the Oregon and Idaho borders are favorite grazing regions for wild horses, bands numbering thousands roaming at will over the broad stretches of hill and plain, keeping in fine condition subsisting on bunch grass, which, when they are exterminated, will furnish feed for countless herds of cattle, prevented heretofore from ranging in the same localities as the wild equines, who evidently claim the most productive feed ranges as their special domain, fiercely attacking cattle venturing within their boundaries.

According to the Winnemucca Silver .State, whose editor has shot wild horses and who knows their haunts and habits, some magnificent specimens of the race weighing from 1,200 to 1,800 pounds are frequently seen among the wild bands in the northern part of Nevada and along stretches of border country. They carry their heads erect, and with their flowing manes and tails, the latter Sweeping the ground, are a grand sight when seen escaping from real or fancied danger. Then they travel at' such speed that the most expert vaqueros on the finest of mounts cannot hope to get within a lariat's throw of them. Their organs of hearing, sight and smell are probably more acute than those of any other animal that roams the plains.

From Arizona, too, come reports of renewed activity of huntsmen in the pursuit of wild horses. Ranchmen in some sections of the territory assert that the animals have increased in numbers very largely in recent years and have done considerable damage to property. It is also said that not a few tame horses turned out to grass have been stampeded by the intelligent leaders of bands of nomads and have themselves become wild and turned their backs upon domesticity.

Just how much of all this is fact and how much exaggeration is a question, but one thing is certain—viz, a continuance of this wholesale slaughter for any length of time will wipe the wild horse from existence in this country, and his epitaph may well be, "Gone tc meet the buffalo.'' FRANK SWEET.

A Dissatisfied Audience.

A writer of some recently published English theatrical reminiscences declares that a theater audience does not like to be deprived of its anticipated pleasures. In a Lancashire town a few years back the great drama of "Sweeney Todd" was played on a Saturday night. After the wicked barber of Fleet street had been brought to justice and was duly placed on the scaffold to expiate his atrocious crimes, the stage manager rang down the curtain. Unluckily for him the audience had no intention of being trifled with, and they insisted that the representative of Mr. Todd should be hanged in the interests of dramatic art. If not, they would know the reason why—and also have their threepences back. The dilemma was not relieved by the fact that the actor positively declined to be executed merely to satisfy the ultra conscientious de mands of the "gods," and those worthy persons thereupon compounded for the lost treat by tearing up the benches and smashing the lamps.

An old Welshwoman of the old school says that the best thing to do with boys who are rough and stubborn is to send them to work in the pits. "Weak ones," she added, "ought to be brought up as ministers, and tbem as isn't rough nor weak as pnpil teachers.'
