From the Detroit Free PrsL
One evening last week, when the winter
blasts moaned sadly around the stree
corners, and the captains Of terryboata
wore anxious looks, Peven or eight vessel
owners and "laid up" lake captains sal
around cheerful base. burner in saloon
near the river. After the usual amount
Of growing about the weather, one Of
them told story. There might have
been M ounce Of truth about Il, but the
crowd felt certain that the one ounce was
offset by twsnty:four pounds Of the
"awfuleat kind" Of lying. Therefore a
second man told n story to beat it, and
then third man beat the second, When
the fourth man started out he said:
Gentlemen, / have also seen tough

with shrill, wild shrek, which yet

With tho chair tilted against the wall,
a lanky, sunlowerish chap had been
modelling his head right and left, as IL

The crowd looked at him in astonish-

Captain, looking suspiciously at tho fell
lows big fists; ut was forty years ago"
NJ know 1t was. and for forty years I've
been aching to lick you out Of your
bootsP
The Captain had lied, but he didn't
want to own II, and he said:

"But he was taller than YOU"

He sailed In and upset tho Captain,
but was then set upon by the whole crowd.
He got into the eye Of the wind and hung
there for time, but presently he paid of
a little, got the wind on his quarter, and
went at Il to lick ten times hts weight In

and those who could get out doors got out,
