HE WAS A SEA CAPTAIN.
Natural HaIlucination of a Man Who
"Was Half Seas Over"

"Can't a Teller wait for his ship?"
said a man with red eyes and seedy
clothes. as he steadied himself against
one Of the stone posts On the sea wall
along the Battery in New York. He
addressed a policeman who was watch
ing him closely. "Can't he wait till
his ship is ready to pull out?"
Eyes" said the officer, in a tone as
IL it depended on circumstances.
Cant he linger where the raves
dash high, till the tide is right to hist
his ship over the breakwaterp"
Eyes, if he's quiet about it."
"Can't the captain of a big eight
mast ship with two bow-sticks on her
rest in your park till they send the
starboard schooner to take him Off"
"You are a captain of q vessel,

"Yesser, that's it. See her tied up
over there toward that 'ere big statute.
See the masts on her, and the f~o'castle
sticking up'n the air like a church

How long did you say you had been

these are of the greatest importance

Uors d'puvres should be served in q
dish divided into compartments. Pre-
served fishes should be wiped free from
all tin oil and ledressed with the best

small portions must be cut to suit the
