HE HAD NEVER THOUGHT, .'
And Wan Therefore Fooled for Twenty
Years. * , -
-. .Two men were walking down Ninth
street when they came In sight of a
jeweler’s shop, from which was dis-
played a wooden imitation of a clock.
Said the tall man: “Do you know
why the Ihands of these dummy clocks
invariably point to 8.20?” '
“As-a. matter of fact,” said the short
man, “they don’t invariably. When
they do, it is because it displays the
hands to the best advantage.”
“Not at all,” returned the tall man,
with a tinge of coming triumph in his
voice. “It is because it marks the ex-
,act moment when President Lincoln
was assassinated in Ford’s theater.”
“Does it, indeed?” exclaimed the
short man, stopping his companion
‘right under the clock. “Do you hap—
pen to have heard what play was on
the boards that fatal nigh-t?”
“Our American Cousin," replied the
other promptly.
“Right, my son. Now, pay attention.
The shot was fired during the second
scene of the third act. Theaters then,
as now, began the performance at 8
o’clock, and so you would lhave me be-
lieve that it required only twenty min-
utes to play two entire acts and 'one
scene of the third? Do you believe
that yourself?”
The tall man reflected for ten sec-
onds, and then said blankly: “Well, to
think that I’ve believed that stupid
lie for twenty years!”—Philadelphia
Times.
Willie: “I say, pa, didn’t you tell me
the other day that it was wrong to
strike anyone smaller than yourself?"
Pa: “Yes, Willie; that’s what I said."
Willie: “Well, I wish you’d write my
teacher a note to that effect. I don’t
think he knows about it.”

The [lines of the “Colon."
The telegraphic reports of a battle
are usually so meagre and so filled with
errors that if one wishes to get ak'full
and accurate account it is necessary to
wait until details are mailed. With
this fact in view we print the account
of the chase of the Vizcaya and Colon-
by the AmeriCan ships at Santiago.
sent by Mr. Chapman, who Witnessed
the fight, in his letter in the Santiago
number, of Harper’s .Weekly. We also
eproduce, by permission, one of his
‘five pictures in' the same number.
“Then began a splendid chase. The
Colon was rated. a .191lrknot armored
cruiser, the finest ship in the Spanish
navy; the Vizcaya, a Ell-knot ship, with
_ two 11-inch guns, was supposed to out-
”classthe Brooklyn and New York, with
their 3-inch guns and 19-knot speed-
The Oregon,- a 15-knot battle-ship, was
not classed as a speedy vessel, or able
to. catch a fast cruiser. Just here, how-
‘ever, the Oregon proved herself 3. won?
der and the pride of the American
navy. She had passed the Texas early
in the action, doing twelve or thirteen
knots, and cut inside of her to get at
the foe, firing splendid shots with her
first and secondary batteries. But now
was her opportunity. ’
The Brooklyn, keeping outside of the
two fleeing ships, was firing from her
forward 8 inch turret guns and star-
board broadsxde guns, and, getting'her
speed up to 161} knots, was rapidly over-
hauling her enemy; but without the
help of the Oregon it is possible that
the Colon at last might have gotten
away. But the Oregon was coming up
at a iii-knot gait, smoke and flames
pouring from her funnele, and the
water piling in huge cascades about
her bows and rolling out in long lines
of white on either side. From her for-
ward turrets sheets of flames burst at
intervals, and her 13-inch guns were
sending their shells around the
Vizcaya, while the Brooklyn, nearly
'abeam, was hammering her with rapid
fire that simply drove the Spanish to
cover and soon sent the Vizcaya in for
the land. She was run ashore at
Aserradero, seventeen miles west of
.Santiago, completely wrecked and on
fire. Atorpedo in the forward tube
exploded, tearinga great hole in her
bow, and wrecking her completely.
The Iowa followed up and received the
surrender of the ship, and took off the
survivers and a number who had got-
ten ashore.
“I‘he Colon, meanwhile, having a
.good start, was doing her best to get
away. Her speed, according to her
ciptain, was at one time 171} knots; but
she could not keep this up, and the
heavy shells of the Oregon falling
about her and beyond her, while the
Brooklyn pounded her with her rapid
fire, gradually forced her inshore, and
at 1:20 pm. she ran her bows on the
beach at Rio Tarquino, forty-eight
miles from Santiago entrance, fired a.
shot from a lee gun, and hauled down
her flag. She was practically uninjur-
ed; but the Spaniards, having sur-.
rendered, treacherously opened her
water-valves, pounded out dead-lights,
threw overboard the breeches of the
guns, and injured the ship in every pos-
sible way before her captors could get'
aboard.”
