Show Worth the Expense. The story that Sir John Fisher of the British admiralty tells with the greatest enjoyment and he tells many, and all with zest is of an old boatswain boat-swain on his flagship who fell into a little money and retired. One day the admiral visited him at his country coun-try box, to find the old sailor possessed pos-sessed of an apparently useless man servant. "What do you want with him?" asked Fisher. "H'every morning," explained the old sailor, " 'e comes to me 'ammock and tells me to roll h'out. 'The h'ad-miral h'ad-miral wants to see you,' 'e says to me. H'and I says to 'im, 'Tell the h'admiral to go to 'ell,' says Hi." |
