"a DARTER w MY OWN"
AN HONEST FERRYMAN's SERVICE TO
A FOOLISH GIRL

Sam kimper was terryman on q
western river, who, although addict
ed TO drinking, was 4 good substan-
tial fellow, always courteous and
correct in his dealings. One night
as he was polling" a man and wo-
man in a buggy across the river, he
heard her cay:
"What will my father think p
Further talk ensued, during which
he recognized the voice of doctor 5
daughter living a few miles down
the stream. He did not like the
mans voice, and was confirmed in
his prejudice when the fellow began
talking about going TO Cincinnati
and not letting her father know any
thing of their movements for a week.
The girl began to cry, and the fell
low answered roughly. She begged
him to take her back home.
Take you back home, said he, in
rough laugh. " Let a bird out Of
a cage after YOU have fairly caught
it? Oh, no! | love you too well
tor that -
BY this time the boat was nearly
across the river, and Sam said to the
stranger:
Mister, the current pooty strong
to day; there's right smart freshet
on. Reckon I'll have to ask you to
make the lines fast ashore while i
hold the boat fast agin the bank"
The man got out and stood at the
bow of the boat. Sam pOlled it
against the bank with such violence
that over went the man onto the
shore Sam let the boat drift away,
and turning to the girl, amidst the
hOwls and curses of the man in the
water, said:
Reckon you don't want him no
more, do We =
mo, no - she exclaimed.
The girl being in doubt about her
ability to drive home, even after she
had reached the other shore, Sam.
let his boat go down the stream.
"What are you going to do?' she
asked.
BOAT c down to the steamboat
landin' for your town"
"That will be a dreadful lot of
work all for a silly girl"

said he.
Pretty soon he stopped polling,
and the girl said he must be very
tired.
Not bit of it, said Sam. "Tm
slowin' up SOS TO reach there about
dusk"
Just what l wanted to ask you
TO do"
Thought so, said Sam. Owe |
got darter NV my own"
Everything was favorable, and no
one saw the carriage drive off the
boat. The girl promised that her
father would pay Sam handsomely. |
Il don't want the money" said
Sam. I've got a darter NV my own.
There's one thing / do want. If
doctors don't know good stuff from
bad, nobody does, an Of he could
send me a good solid drink o some
thin, seein' twill take me two or
three hours TO pole back.
The promise was readily given,
and in a few minutes down came
The Doctor with a bottle of brandy
and two men to pole the boat back.
But Sam said the brandy would be
more useful as well rs better COM
Dany. The Doctor wanted to know
low he could repay him, and Sam
"You can repay me in kind, eff We

among other things concerning the coilec-
ton, preparation, distribution OF reports, and
the dissemination of weather inform alton,
was considered the utility of the press and it's
efforts for the benefit OF its patrons, the pub
lie. 1t was shown that the papers give much
information in the publication of weather
reports, but it is believed the needs of their
patrons require some slight changes, which
this Exchange, in the interest OF the grsiD,
produce and m manufacturing ineress that il
represents, recommend 10 the press OF the
city for adoption aud execution, namely:
/. The press should publish daily all OBJ,
tainable weather, always ia regular form
and always in the same place.
2. The location of Signal Service bulletin
frames, wherein are posted the reports daily
received.
g. The daily rainfall and the danger line
in river reports in addition TO the informa-
ton now given.
4. At least one complete weather bulletin

Your Committee would also recon mend
that the local press be rt requested to give more

weather reports ia resdily manifested through
the press-ihe Information is thereby widely

whose number is limited only by the circuia-
