A Practical Man.

The complain that Willard was too big man to understand the details of management, and that he really never knew anything of Oregon Transcontenental out side of making mortgages, brings to mind the case of an Ohio road. It had president after president, and each one cooked his feet on the office desk and let her rip. She had ripped" until the dir ectOrs finally got together and decided that the right man must be found pretty soon or the road must go to the wall. They were consulting in room looking out into the passenger depot. A train came in eighteen minutes behind time, and the train-dispatcher booted the conductor out of one door, fired the engineer out of another and run the fireman un- der d freight train. He then backed the train out and coming back from the yards the directors met him, and one of them asked:
 "Mr. Thomas, can you accept the presidency of this road?"
 "Wait a minute," was the re- ply, and the man shunted three cars, cuffed a switchman. drove two loafers out of the yard, and returned and said.
 "Why, yes, l suppose so-and the first thing I shall do is to fire you all out of here. Don't let me see you around here rgo for SIX months.'
 In year the road was paying a dividend.

 "Who could huZZy have been: Did you see her.

Alltaut reached over the Aveger's side and eras- ped shirt, thereby being ena- bled to hold his vessel steady. The men witnessed this mane- uvre in silent admiration. Brill iant seamanship always com- mands respect.
 "Ship ahoy" called the lieute- nant.
 A noise was hear aboard the craft, and an instant later Black Mike, the pirate, appeared on deck. He comprehended the sit nation in an instant, aud draw ing a huge knife, from his boot sprang forward to cut the tail from the shirt to which Lieut.. Alltaut was holding, thereby allowing the Avenger to drift into the darkness. The officer was on the alert, hewover, and felled the pirate to the deck with a piece of the government pie which he had not had time to eat. The man rose quickly, but thioughly humbled.
 "Well," he said. suddenly, ''you have caught me at last"
 "Do you surrender" asked the lieutenant. .
 "No," answered the pirate, with terrible oat6; ''I will sell my life dearly"
 Reflect on what you are do- ing" and Lieut.. AlItaut's voice trembled as he spoke. "You are at our mercy. At signal from me 100 copies Of Secretary Chan dler's report will be hurled on your deck"
 My God" said the pirate; "are you, them, devoid of all hu- manity?!'
 "Yes," replied the lieutenant; ''no quarter will be given if the battle is begun"
 The pirate looked into the port holes of the Avenger and saw the muZzles of the document frowning at him. ''Is this report the usual length?' he asked.
 "Yes."
 And you have really got 100 copies ahoard?"
 "Yes."

"Avast heaving." :"

 Capt. Foamcrest turned quick ly on his heel after giving this order in the sharp, decisive tone habitual to seafaring men, and continued to pace the quarter d eek of the Avenger with regu- lar tread. With hands behind him and eyes steadily fixed on the oaken blanks which upheld him, he did not look like man on whose mind was pressing the weight of a great responsibility responsibility that ere the sun sank to rest beneath the waters might necessitate the shedding of human blood. For five min utes he paced the deck in silence. and then, turning with a show of impatience and speaking in a tone which betrayed irritation. if not anger, he again said:
 "AvasI heaving."
 The mau to whom the com- mand was addressed, q fine. brawny fellow, with a clear hon : est face-in fact, the very model of first-cl sailor, drew in his head from over the bulWarkS and replied: 1T cannot"
 "How long have you been m the American navy, my man: asked the captain ill not unkind tones.
 Ten years. sir" was the re- ply.
 And is this your first experi- ence on the water?'
 "Yes, sir"
 ''Very well; avast heaving as soon as it is convenient"
 faye, aye, sir," replied the man, hitching up his pants re- spectEully.
 The captain walked slowly aft and addressed the lNau at the wheel, "Old Ton," a grlzzled old sea dog, who had sailed the Wa bash under Secretary Thompson, and seen service off the rock bound coast of LemOnt when a hostile constabulary endeavored to attach a canal boat.
 Glow doss she head?' asked the captain, looking into the bin- nacle.
 "West by south," replied Oll Tom, giving the wheel a turn and looking aloft To see that the topsails were drawing. ''1 think we shall have cupful of wind flom the north tonight" he ad ded. "Yon cloud has a wicked look."

The night has come.
 The Avenger IS cleavin g the water in gallant style. the white foam curling from her bows as she comes in stays and stands away on the starboard tack. The quarterback is deserted by all save by Lieut.. Alltaut, whose watch it is. The captain has gone below, and the steady, stri- dent sDOre that is waited upward tells that he is a-leep. Sudden ly one of the lookouts comes aft and touches his cap 10 the lieu tenant.
 "There's a sail on the port bow. sir" he says.
 Lieut.. Alltaut takes his glass and looks in the direction indi- cated.
 ''It is inc pirate." he says, speaking calmly, as do all naval officers-in books. "Send man below 10 put q clOthes-pln on the captains nose. And while you are there bring up my cutlass and piece of pie"
 The man disappeared.
 In the meantime preparations had been made for the approach ing conflict. The men were sta- toned behind the bulWarks, and their faces wore determined lcok. Nearer and nearer drew the Avenger to her prey, until at last she lay alongside the dreaded oyster pirate of Chesa- peake bay. Not q sign of life
