Long before this time the lessons of the Civil War had hastened the adoption of armor, the new ships ranging from high-sided vessels with guns in broadside, as in the past, to low freeboard craft influenced by the Monitor design, with a few large guns protected by revolving turrets or fixed barbettes, and with better provision for all-around fire.
But they would yield on nothing else. The money indemnity demanded by Greece and Servia and the all-around grant of religious privileges suggested by Roumania had to be dropped. The treaty was signed August 6, 1913. In the mean time the Powers had not been passive onlookers.
Before the evening was over he demonstrated the fact that he was a first-class oarsman, much to the satisfaction of his friend. "You must have had a good deal of practice at the gymnasium," said Valentine. "Yes; the director of the gymnasium, who is an all-around athlete, gave the boys special instruction, by which we all profited.
For an all-around sheep I like the Shropshire. It's good for mutton, for wool, and for rearing lambs. There's a great demand for mutton nowadays, all through our eastern cities.

I refer, of course, to the St. Louis Globe- Democrat, the best all-around newspaper in the world. The South has very little affection for nigger office- holders, but they are full as safe as any other class of citizens so long as they behave themselves.
About Political Conventions, State and National "Old Ben Butler" His Appearance as a Trouble-Maker in the Democratic National Convention of 1892 Tarifa and the Tariff Spain as a Frightful Example I have had a liberal education in party convocations, State and national. In those of 1860 I served as an all-around newspaper reporter.
"My dear friend," I said, "you will get the credit of giving your whole time to business, while I am by doing what refreshes my mind discredited, because it gets in the papers. I shall keep my method regardless of consequences." He kept his, and although much younger than myself died years ago. George B. Roberts, president of the Pennsylvania, was a very wise executive and of all-around ability.
