The Budget, w hich had set the pace foe the rest of the journals, suspended publication when Printer Kline's term of enlistment expired, but not because of the censor. Its publisher decided to knock 'all records sky high In that final number. It had 40 pages and was filled- wfth pictures of the cruise, taken in the various places touched at along the coast of South America. It made such a hit that Publisher Kline had to turn out WO copies, and many a Jack Tar In the fleet sent along a copy to his friends at home. In fact, its circulation circula-tion extended far beyond the ship on which it was published, and' H had became an advertising medium as well; but Its publisher had decided that he had had enough of the- navy, and so he bade farewell to bis subscribers. sub-scribers. The only attempt at criticism appeared ap-peared In this last number of the Pud-get, Pud-get, and the censor, probably In view of the fact that It was the last issue of such a noteworthy publication, ap-prrently ap-prrently let It pass. It was entitled "An Enlisted Man's Views" and was Inspired by the statement of the president presi-dent that no effort should be spared to make the service attractive to the enlisted man.

(Copyright, by Short " The little mirror slipped from Maries Ma-ries fingers and layahattered on the floor.- 1 ---'7- Marie' is rery superstitious. She has S. horror of crossed knives, spilled salt and especially of broken mirrors. So to console her and also as a measure of!etrrorecn6nTI6rT can be-the least bit disagreeable w hen things go wrong) I told her the following fol-lowing "true story t . In the little town in which I was born there lived a Joiner named Mai veull, who "had- learned his trade In Paris and was renowned far and wide for the remarkabje: excellence of his workmanship. Bnt though his .skill was admired, and though he never gave the slightest cause for otfouse. je was,-not' well liked. Perhaps It w as oecause ne was so mortally homely, home-ly, and also because he -Beemed to prefer his own society to that of others; oth-ers; for it is a, melancholy fact that personal beauty is a great aid to so-ciaisuceess, so-ciaisuceess, and that people In general gen-eral have a sort of grudge against recluses, whom they either despise or fear. - . IIaJyeuJljLk ibAothjir had frequented the tavern and strut ted about In his best clotbea on Sunday Sun-day afternoons nobody would have paid any particular attention tb him, Cut he shinned his fellows, spoke little, lit-tle, and laughed not at all. - Every day, from morning to night, his tall, gaunt figure and ugly, red-bearded face could be seen bent over his workbench. work-bench. Long, solitary evening walks were his only diversion. Urest surprise was therefore ouoa-siotied ouoa-siotied by "his appearance, "one summer sum-mer evening, at the weekly open-air dance; but as he stationed himself by the side of the musicians and remained re-mained motionless through -the entire en-tire evening, hla presence was soon forgotten. For several weeks in succession suc-cession he repeated this performance, the meaning of which became apparent appar-ent w hen -ttwae observed tht - hi, eyes never left Marline, the prettiest girl and the most notorious flirt in the village. Martlne laughed scornfully, when she was told of this discovery The young men teased her: "Don't you feel proud? SUU another admirer! See him casting sheep's eyes, the wild man!" She made a pirouette and replied, unabashed: "Iodon't care. What Is one more or less when I have so manyj" "But such a one!" "All the better!" She neither frowned nor smiled on the Joiner, but as she wss resting after aft-er a quadrille she saw him suddenly leave his post tod march straight toward ber. What Impelled ber to accept his Invitation? In-vitation? Perhaps she felt flattered because she had been the first to charm and tame the "wild man." At all events, she astonished everybody by whisking through the next walU with blm. Ob the following day, however, the mere mention of the name of her strange admirer was sufficient to provoke pro-voke her to mirth, and two days afterward after-ward she had ceased to think about blm, engrossed as she was with ribbons, rib-bons, laces and other adornments of ber precious person. So she was very much surprised one afternoon, when her uncle was busy repairing a saddle and she was sitting sit-ting la the back room, to see the Joiner Join-er enter the shop, cap In band, and accost the old gentleman. She listened, lis-tened, of course, but failed to catch any but the last words of the conversation con-versation "Well, after all, good looks are not-everythlng. not-everythlng. her uncle said "I have nothing against you. if the little one la agreeable.

Malveuil left town, and, after an absence ab-sence of two days, reappeared with svl-4arge4m-lch-netFought from the railway station on a cart. The fair Martine lost herself in conjectures, con-jectures, and interested curiosity Induced In-duced her to beg all her gossips to keep' close watch on the Impassioned joiner and report to her. After many days Malveuil appeared and, without preamble or "even greeting, said: "Come; but remember your promise." When they had reached bis shop h conducted her through an alley to a rear door.

Aa Martine apparently did not hear his words, be repeated them, with no better result. He repeated them again, and this lime his voice trembled trem-bled a litUe.

The cities in Ireland which 1 have thus far seen look prosperous, and In point of ar chitectural attractions compare very favorably wfth cities of the same size In more pretentious "countries. I have availed myself of every op portunity to come Into close coutact with the people. I find they are In many respects like "children, possess ing tbe artlessness and simplicity of the child and consequently lacking In tbe reserve and self mastery which belong to training and culture. A gentleman gen-tleman whose acquaintance I made In Cork wanted me to visit Blarney castle, and went on to explain that a eertaln Father Prout bad blessed tbe blarney stone and whoever could apply ap-ply his Hps to it was sure to gain, fame and wealth. Early the next day, I took the train for Blarney. Tbe ride from the sea to this ancient'castle, built nearly 50 years before America was discovered, shows the natural charms of tbe country coun-try to great advantage. The streams and rivulets are green as the grass and tbe trees are clad In all tbe verdant glory of sum. mer. I passed a number of farms on my way to tbe tallsmanlc stone, and they were laden with tbe fruits of the soli. - The potato was in blossom (Ireland (Ire-land 1$ the only country where' tbe potato po-tato puts forth a purple blossom) and the hay was ripening In the sun. I said to myself "The man who kisses tbe blarney stone may or not be rewarded, re-warded, but be who scratches the soli honestly Is sure to get bis reward." By the passage of a recent bill In parliament the peasants In Ireland are assisted financially by tbe government govern-ment to purchase the land from the landlords. Msny have availed themselves them-selves of this offer, and now own their farms. This element of ownership has put new life Into tbe Irish farmer, and It really promises a better era for the whole country- Having become a capitalist, as It were, the peasant farmer has, to a great exteat. lost bis restlessness and discontent, and has grown to be law abWing and hopeful hope-ful Tbe old age pension has tal0 put n-oney Into the pockets of tbe poor and weakened tbe hold of beggary and misery In the land. Indeed, many forces are contributing to buKJ up the Ireland that Is to be. la the Ottoman empire the Toung Turks are making history on a scale which no prophet could have foretold: In Spain.
