PILOT BOAT SINKS AND LIFE SAVERS RESCUE
THE CREW.


PILOT BOAT SINKS AND LIFE SAVERS RESCUE
THE CREW.
The pilot boat Jessie CARL was driven
ashore oil Iack's Inlet during the storm that
was raging early Sunday morning She
struck head on and the heavy SET that was
running filled her with water during the
day. Toward evening she shifted some dis.
tance to the northwest and sank. All on
board were saved by life.savng crew.
The pilot boat put to sea from Staten Is.
land on Tuesday last. She had on board
Pilots John w. Stanton, Gideon l.. Mapes,
VIM. Ii. Anderson, George Cisco and Sea-
men Alsan, Carlson, Benson, Wclscn, Wall
and three others. From the momcntthey
left the Narrows they had bad weather.
Saturday afternoon they met an incoming
Mediterranean vessel that wanted a pilot,
and pilot George Cisco was put aboard. At
evening they lay to about 10 miles west Of
Fire Island.
At 10 o. clock at night II began to blow
gale. The rain was very heavy and was ac'
companied by thunder and lightning. The
waves swept over the vessels deck. At IL
o'clock Pilot Mapes took charge. As it was
raining so hard that no lights or landmarks
could be distinguished, all the sails were
lowered and no attempt was made to guide
the boat except to keep her pointed oil shore.
Shortly before o'clock Sunday morning u
grating sound was heard, and the boat began
to strain her timbers. Then she began to
thump against the sandy bottom, and the
waves washed completely over her. The
pilots and these of the crew who had been
asleep in their, ,berths came rushing on deck.
They fanced that some steamer had run the
boat down.
When it was learned that the pilor boat
had grounded all became calmer, though the
situation was serious enough. The two yawl
boats were launched, but nobody got into
them, as it was not thought that they could
live in the stormy waters. Blue tire and
torches were burned to attract the attention
of the life-saving crew. Head sails were also
run up in hopes that the wind might raise
the boat but no such good luck awai Cd her.
At $3.50 o oclock the liie-saving crew pulled
alongside and every one on board got into
the surf boat and reached shore without any
mishap.
About 4 o'clock the pilot boat became
| loosened by the strong wind that was blow
ing off shore and slowly drilted into deep
water aud sank, her masts alone being vsi

Habits of =" Sunset" Cox.

Mr.. Cox's successful book, "Three
Decades of Federal Legislation" is Il v0l-
ume of 726 pages, and it gives a history
o: the country from the time of the or
ganization Of the Republican party until
now. Some of the graphic pen pictures
of scenes were written after hours of
study in the Congressional Library, where
he had saturated his mind and revived
his memory by reading all that was
printed upon the subject about which he
was to write. A great part of the work
was, however, dictated, and Mr.. Cox
used a stcnographer rs much, perhaps, rs
any man in Washington. While he lived
in Washington his library and workshop
was in his house, aud he had some curi-
Gus habits of work. lie had one desk
devoted entirely to matters relating 20
Congress. and he did nothing but Com
gressional work at this desk. He said
once that getting anything through Con-
gress was like fighting the wind, and,
apropos Of this. hc had great bronze
plaque Of Don Quixote fighting the
windmills hung above his desk. The
desk itself was u relic of Congress, and it
was taken years ago from the room III
which John Quincy Adams died.
While Mr.. Cox was working upon this
book he used curious little whiriigig
bookcase to keep its various parts in or
der. He wrote much of it on Il big flat
library table, and many of the finer pas
sages he thought out while lying on II
low couch on the other side of this. He
worked hard during his last days in
Washington, and he found time to visit,
lecture and make after-dinner speeches at
the same time. He would rise early, and
at Z o'clock would be in his workshop am
swering letters. After breakfast he
would again be at work, and his labors
would often extend late into the night

Civilized Cherokee Indians.

The general notions Of the people oil
'the States" about the Cherokee Nation,
says "A Tahlequah correspondent, are
either very vague or decidedly erroneous.
When YOU think of the Cherokee Indian
do not draw mental picture of a swarthy
savage with fcrocious countcnance, wear
ing blanket and moccasin and arrayed
in feathers and beads, but think Of him
as man enjoying the benefits of high
state of civilization. l find myself i'll

all other evidences of cultivated, if not

YOU meet with the "full blood" Even
the half breeds are largely in the minor-
ity. The Cherokees really constitute II
nation OF white men claiming an Indian
origin. In very many instances there are
the prominent cheek bones, dark COM
plexion and straight black hair to sup
port the claim, while in many other cases
there can hardly be detected single

Cnngllt a Wolf Snlder.

It is not often that a wolf spider is
found in Illinois, and it is not surprising,
therefore, that Mr.. Il. VI. TruaX, of Nor
gan Park, was considerably startled the
other morning while trimming his lawn
TO run across one of these ill-iavored in
sects. He quickly recovered from his
surprise, however, and soon had the crea-
ture safely imprisoned in II bottle. The
spider belonged to the Mygale family,
and is dignitied with the Latin name Ty-
cosa Fatifera, or wolf spider. The speci-
men in question measures one and one
half-inches in length, and its body is
covered with a shell-like substance. Its
sting is deadly poison. 1t is a native of
northern Europe, although br'rches Of
the Mygale family are found in the warm
or climates of America. Nine. Merriam is
authority for the statement that the
American Mygale attacks and kills small
birds, even going so far as to drag hum
ming birds out of their nests and doyour
them. The wolf spider is the most fero-
cious of the Mygales, which, according
to VI. Walckcnacr, are divided into thir-
ty-siX species.
The question is: How did the spider
ret to Morgan Parkl MIR. Truax's theory
is that it was in some way brought over
by gang of Italians who recently ar
rived in this country and are now at work
in Morgan Park 49, Chimgo Tribune.

In 1916 the consumption OF American
cotton by Great Britain amounted tc
l,239. 900 bales, while the United States
used only 300, 900 bales Of the product.
In 1883 the English consumption had in
creased 20 2,7O5, 900 bales, aud that Of
tie United States to 2,l9l,UO0 bales.
These figures, the san Francisco ChlVhi-
cic declares, show that our cotton industry
is slowly but surely gaining ON Great
Britain, and that in a few years our pro-
duction will exceed hers considerably.
The fact that England's production OF
cotton cloths has been nearly stationary
for some years, while ours is steadily in
crcasing, supports this view and causes
the Chronicle to conclude that our island
friends will soon be obliged to abandon
their proud boast of being the leading
cotton manufacturing nation Of tho
world.

BIG BOB SACRIFICED.
Why MEDICINE MAN WAS KILLED M 20
INDIANS,

WHY A MEDICINE MAN WAS KILLED NJ FoUA
INDIANS.
Charles Williams, Tom Alexis, Charles
Seatit and Big Bill Indians from the Swino'
mish reservation, Skagt county, Wash,
were brought to Seattle and lodged in Jail,
charged with the murder of Big Bob Sattoo
an Indian.
1t appears that Big Bob was a prominent
member of the tribe, and claimed to be a
tenanimous" man, which, translated
means an Indian doctor.
by Indian superstition q "tenanimous"
man is held responsible if any general
calamity belalls the tribe. Things had not
been going well with the Swinomish Indians
for some time. There was much sickness
among them, and Big Bob was regarded as
responsible for IT, So at a meeting of the
tribe four Indians were appointed to execute
him. The Indians agent at the reservation
was notified that Big Bob was about to be
sacrificed, but did not believe it and did
nothing.
Last Monday was the day upon which tho
murder took place Big Bob was waylaid by
four assassins, who seized him and cut his
throat from ear TO ear. The red men were
arrested and bound over for murder by the
Justice the Peace at Laconner. They were
brought to Seattle for safe-keeping. Will
iams, Alexis and Seatit are intellgent-lo look
ing Indians, but Big Bill is ferocious looking
and the supposition is that it was he who
killed the "tenanmous" man. The indians
are good deal worked up over the affair.
No claimants t. the dignity of "tenanimous
man" have as yet appeared.

And leap toward his thought like fame 20
