CHARLIE MARC. ,
“About four years ago the cruiser on
which I was serving shipped a boiler
. maker While we were on the Mediter
ranean station.” said a chief petty oili-
cez- of the navy, on leave of absence.
“Our former boiler maker’s. time ex- .
pired while we were at Gibraltar. and
'ashe was notvin good physical shape

charge and] returned to the United
States by a mail steamer. So the ship

u-ortaut and necessary petty officer

ment. and whom the ship pulled into
Naples harbor the chief engineer went
ashore to see if he couldn’t dig up a
maker to ship at the rate.

iilaifrxns peruittim: crrnunanding offi-
cers to ship Necessary men on foreign
stations in short-handed emergencies.
The chief engineer brought back to
the ship a Greek named Charlie Maro.
The man couldn’t speak any English—-
to speak of —but he was :2 good man
at the boiler making business. and he
was duly shipped aboard of us for
three years. He was a wild. hairy-
1-loolcir: lot. Moro was. and he got a
good deal of a laugh at the hands of
the crow. especially the younger fel-
lows. from the time he first came over
the side. The derision his ~queer ap-
pearance his extraordinary at-
tempts a-t lire-limb excited among the
men i‘orwar'l often got Maro going
during the i‘"=t few months of his
cruise. but after awhile he got to be
an old story. and the men gradually
let up on him. More thought that
them wasn‘t any other country on the
map oxen-f Greece. Ie thought that
the ‘Grceka mau’ was the hottest kind
of a. tom-ale when it came to scrapping:
by land or sea. and. after he got. hold
of enough English to make himself
understood. he used to take some of
the young apprentice boys up into the
eyes of the ship and tell them. with
many gesticulaticns and furious
words. the different kinds of tar
Greece would knock out of Turkey if
the two countries ever came to an open
rurarure.
‘I “Titi‘ ship was around on the Pacific
station when the war broke our: bo—
twecn Greece and Turkey more than
two years ago. When the news of the
outbreak of the war not to Marc. our
boiler maker. he like to have had heart
disease and n whole‘lot of other sud-
den things from pure excitement.
“ ‘Da. Grecka man wizlla bim! him:
him! da Turka man.’ was Charlie
Marc’s way of putting" ii'.'and he didn’t
see that the Turks had a ghost of a
show. All hands forward encouraged
him in the belief. They all acfluiesced
in cxprcssinr the belief to Marc that
Greece would simply eat Turkey up.
Then a bo’sun‘s mate who knew how
to crack the most impossible kind of
steers with a face as solemn and
wooden as an Indian’s took Charlie in
hand and told him some things. He
told Maro that the United States was
so much in sympathy-with Greece in
with Turkey that the
Navy Department had decided to turn
over all of the ships of the American
navy to Greek commanders.
“ ‘I‘Tere's a big: chance for you.
Maro,’ the bo’sun's matte told Marc.
‘You just want to work your edge.
Here‘you are already shipped on this
cruiser, and it’s dollars to doughnuts
that if you ask. for the command of
this ship. in order to take her over to
Greece to mix it up with the Turks,
you’ll get it. hands down.
“That idea impressed Marc :1 near.
He asked the bo’sun’s mate who he'd
have to apply to to get command of
the m‘uiser. .
“ ‘Why. to the commanding ofliccr.
of course.’ was his reply.
“Maro was tremendously important

him up. to it. and finally Maroappeared
on deck one morning. togged out in
his very best musteriug suit of blue-
jacket clot-hes (when he ought to have
been in dungare—es. ready to begin

Who fight like lions and know no fears.
And then came a. line of oysters bold,
With legs and clothes all trimmed with

And then, with a fearful, terrible noise,
There followed a" crowd of my choicest
toys.
’Twas the best parade that was ever
seen; -
No show like that has ever been;.
And I tell you what—with my might

Trying To Be aBoy.
A pathetic little story comes from
the "Recollections" of Elizabeth Cady
Stanton. Size says that when her
brother died. she climbed upon her
father‘s knee. wondering what could
be said or done to fill the empty place
in his heart.
"Oh, my daughter." he sighed.

I threw ny arms about his neck,
and said: "I will try to be all mv
brother was."
All that day and far into the night
I pondered the problem of boyhood. l
thoughtthe chief thing to be done to
equal boys was to be learned and
courageous. so I decided to study-
‘}l‘€'€‘1{ and learn to manage a horse.
As soon as 1 was dressed I hurried
to our good pastor. Rev. Simon Ho-
sack. who was always early at work
in his garden. _
“Doctor,” said I, “which do you like
best, boys or girls?”
“\Vhy. girl-s. to be sure! I wouldn‘t

and ditch on horseback. I taxed every
pow-er, hoping some day to hear my
father say:
“Well, a girl is as good as a bov.
after all.”
But he never said it.
I began to study Latin, Greek and
mathematics with a class of boys in
the academy. many of whom were
much older than I. Two prizes were
offered in Greek. I strove for one
and took the second.
"Now." Said I,“‘my father will be
satisfied with, me.”
I rushed breathless into his office.

Viuol has enormous sales. This is because
the public recognize in Viuol an article which
is filling a long-felt want. Viuol, the modern
form of cod liver oil, contains all the active
curative principles of this valuable remedy,
without the obnoxious grease and fat, has come
in our midst with the power of doing an un-
limited amount of good. The fact that Vino!
is delicious to the taste, appetizing in fact,
gives the public confidence in it at the start.
Mr. E. A. Brewer, the well known chemist
. of Worcester, writes as follows :—
“Iu pushing the sale of Vino], with other
remedies intended for a similar use, we can
say that we have never had before_a medi-
cine that had so large a. sale. NotWIthstand-
ing the fact that Vinol contains a. large per
cent. of the curative principles of the cod's
liver, it can be easily taken and always re.-
tained by the most delicate stomach; ’
Vinol is a benefactor to man. For that
reason we believe it to be a. remedy that would
prove advantageOus to any conscientioul
druggist to highly endorse. Yours very truly,
