cigar, is calculated CROSS SECTION OF HULL
to give free play to the force of the waves,
without presenting much resistance, and
yet she is built especially for strength.
There are two turrets. the one for
ward and the other aft, eight feet high
and seven feet in diamater, constructed
OF the same material as the rest of the
vessel-boiler iron. The captains quar-
ters and rooms for the crew are beneath
the after deck. There are matches which
are firmly secured, so that the cargo can
not get wet.
Not having any motive power the '101"
has no chance to escape by flight during
storm. Should her tow cast her adrift,
she may be left till the storm shall be
over, the waves doing no damage against
her steel sides, and if she goes ashore she
is supposed to be too strong to break up;
consequently, it will be safer for her crew
to stay with her than to leave her.
The cost of the vessel is $45,000, and
owing to the small crew required, and
absence of repairs, her running expenses
will be very light. It is confidently
expected that the lakes will soon be
covered with the new fashioned craft.

Right to the Point.

A Seventh street widower, whose wife
had been the head of the family, ordered
a tombstone for her, and left it to the
good taste of the cutter to put some COM
forting inscription beside the name and
date. When the stone was put up he
went out with the builder to see it. It
looked very handsome, and across the
base were the consoling words: THY will
be done" well" asked the builder,
"what do you think of it?" First rate
in every way" was the pleased reply.
"And the inscription; is that all right?"
The widower gazed at it tenderly for a
moment. well, l should SMILE" he
said, that's just the kind of woman
she was to dot."-Washington Critic.

When the class Of 1888 received their

Columbia upon a woman, caused the vast

Shippers by the great lakes have often

his first name indicates, and was brought

became free thinker. He was educated
at Williams college and graduated at

For the Herald.
TRIXi.

You never heard o Trixy?
Well. ,warn't her proper name,
But what person hailed to
Was pretty much the same
In those old days in Rocky gulch,
Where little Trixy came
Pretty, and pert and tiny,
Sunny and sweet, and Oh,
Sometbin' there amt name for
In her brown eyes aglow;
Think Of her and wonder
If the angels look Just so.
Simmie was Trixy's daddy
a 'cular kind O. cuss,
And 'cepting that lone honor,
Couldn't have been much wuss-
So the next best thing for Simmie
Was dyin', an not much fuss.
We buried him sort O. quiet
On a lonesome bench-land height,
An all of us forgot him
When we covered him out of sight
Exceptin' that we missed him
From the Miners Home" at night.
We told our little Trixy
As how he'd gone away,
And said may God forgive us)
That he'd be back some day.
Then we all Clipped in largely
So Trixy'd come to stay.
Along barren hillside,
Scorched by the summer shine
And swept by winter breezes,
Was sin mics placer mine
Where the cactus and the sage brush
Grew suculent and fine.
Never a man but pilgrim
And a green-eyed one, swear,
Had lit on that location
But Simmie, y'know, was queer,
And had the place recorded
Before he was minus" here.
so Just as a precautlon,
We as were close around,
All Invent for sake o. Trixy
To prospect Simmie's ground,
With never a one notion
OF anything to bs found.
We panned a dozen places
With scarce a color to see,
Till one of us struck somethin',
An that ere one was me
At first panned dollar,
The next time got three.
All through the merry summer,
Till close to autumn time,
We reaped the golden harvest
From little Trixy's mine,
And saved for her the lions share
To make her rich an fine.
And Trixy wore golden ring
On each fair lily hand,
And all around her slender zone
She wore a golden band,
She walked her rough dominions
Like tn queen of fairy land.
But the angel of the chilling hand
Passed over camp one day,
And seeing her so strangely fair
He beckon her away
So all he left in Rocky gulch
Was only cold and clay.
SO I'm the autumn weather
When summers bloom had fled,
We gathered all together
To look on Trixy dead,
The hectic leaves in folded hands
And blossoms on her head.
The glory of the sunset
Was in her sunny hair,
Her wee bit face with nameless grace
So pitifully fair
And each of us had lain him dead
In place Of Trixy there.
We tasseled our Trixy's coffin
With nuggets of yellow gold,
And made her golden crown to wear
And a golden cross to hold
For what was Trixy's blith and fair
Was Trixy's pale end cold.
Deep IN the pine tree forest,
Where none may e'er behold,
We left our love q sleeping
With all her beauteous gold
For wha: was Trixy's blithe and fair
Was Trixy's pale and cold.
