officer of United States men of
war were permitted to take their
wives and families with them as
cabin pumnn OB their ships,
but the privilege was restricted to
the captains.
But, like all privileges, this one
was open to abuse, and abuses
sometimes took it into her head
to issue orders to the gig s crew,
to th© after-guard sweeper, to the
sentry at the gangway and even
to the officer of the deck him
self.
The^e things were endured as
a general thing by the officers
and men affected, but when some
captain* 1 wives and the nurses of
their children made use of the
poop railing, the after bridge or
tho awning ridge roi>e to hang
out their washing, or put the baby
to sleep in a halyard rack, or
secured the family sewing in the
breech of a main battery gun, the
sticklers for propieties believed
it time to take a reef in the cus

Secretary Hunt's "no petticoat"

Cynthia Grey's Answers
MISTKItIiY LOVE (?)
Dear Miss Grey: I »in a
you UK girl of 18 yearn and
I am in lore with a young
liiiiii here und lie has said
he loves me. lie seems more
like v brother to me than v
friend.
Now, Miss Grey, I had to
leave town for some time
and promised to write to
him, which I did. He said
ho would answer, but did
not. Miss <■!•<■>■, do you think
he still loves me, or w»is
there sonic mistake about
getting mull through to
him? IX LOVK.
A.—l am sure I cannot say
whether the young man Is in
different, or Uncle Sam's mails
at funit. Either are equally like
ly.
Yours seems to me more than
mere sisterly regard, and you
would better let him make the
next move. If be did not get
your letter, and he cares enough
he will write.
" FOR HE IS
MABBIBD"
Dear Miss Grey: lam a
woman with two small chil
dren and have a son who
lias to work hard every day
of his life to take rare of
me.
A very nice man says lie
cares fur me and has asked
me to marry him. 1 respect
him and think I could be
contented with him, if it was
not for another who lias
taken complete possession
of my uffections. Still I
know lie Ml never be any
thing more to me for he is
married mid doesn't know
Mhe would care for in© if he ,
was nut. 1
Do you think I could ever
be contented with and ought "
to marry the other man for ■
my children's sake?
lIKTH.
A.—There Is no necessity to
marry lor your children's sake,
for there Is no way to positively
tell that it would be best for
them. On the other hand, you
are wrong in feeling free to love
another woman's husband. I ftm
trying to help you by giving the
unvarnished truth. i i
KTIQUKTTE
Dear Miss Grey: Do you
think it proper for a hoy to
call on iv girl every night in '
the week and stay until elev
en and many times until "in
and two o'clock when she is
going to High school?
T. F.
A. —It la Improper for a man
to stay until one or two when
calling on a young lady out of
school, and certainly is very out
of place with school children.

MADAM! IF YOU DON'T FEEL RIGHT
TAKE DELICIOUS "SYRUP OF FIGS."
Waste-clogged bowels, torpid liver and decaying food
in stomach cause the sick headache, gas, back
ache, sallowness, biliousness and indigestion.
All women got bilious, head
achy and constipated—simply be
cause they don't exercise enough.
They don't eat coarse food, or
enough fruit and green vegetables.
Those are nature's ways of keep
ing the liver and thirty feet of
bowels active; but very few wow
en employ them. The next bost
way is delightful fruity Syrup of
Figs.
Nearly all Ills of women can be
overcome with Syrup of Figs

Blck .headache, backache, dizziness,
stomach sour and full of gases,
bilious spells, sallowness, coated
tongue, bad breath, bad com
