in our direction. They didn't seem to
understand what it was that was coming
toward them. But as we got nearer and
nearer, and the bright moonlight shone
directly on US, they discovered that it was
only two girls, each with simply one long
garment on, and they screamed and
shouted with laughter. / didn't care for
that, for by this time I could see our
boat stranded abo@t where I thought it
would be. We soon reached her, united
our garments from the raft, and fastened
back in the boat to Sallie and the boy.
There we put OF our wet clothes, placed
the berries in the boat, and started for
home. We agreed that we would slip
into the house by the back way, change
our clothes, and not tell Of our adventure;
and we did so. No n knew of it for
some time. But Margaret had a beau to
whom she told the story after awhile;
and as it was such a good one, and as he
was q man, he told it to others, and so
every one knew it in a little time, and we
were well laughed at.

After the usual greetings were over, the
doctor looked around for some sign Of tie

Fred's wife was neatly dressed, and more

DR.. Gilderoy started. He had come
prepared to steel himself against the en-
treaties of poor relations; but here was
Fred's wife, entirely independent Of him,
a moneyed parsonage in her own right.
The thought staggered him. Success is
a wonderful softener of human nature,
and DR.. Gilderoy's features relaxed in
spite of himself.

and drew q long breath. "a superior

"What did they want, uncle :" asked

Andy's father came in at this point and
spoiled the boys prospects of a feast OF
good things. Going up to Andy and in
quiring what the trouble was, Andy'a
| voice became very weak and in an almost
inaudible whisper he gasped, sick" In
fact his voice was so weak his sire was
obliged to stoop down to catch the word,
and at the same time caught the fragrance
of a "two-for-fve" breath.
"Sick, hey? Been smoking, hey Z

WHAT A WOMAN SAYS ABOUT
MEN.

Many women lose the love of their
husbands because they are too ignorant
or too Indifferent to keep it. Ask any Of
your friends how they captured their
other half, and they will tell you frankly,
81 don't know" A mans heart is en-
shared by a pretty hand, nice teeth, a
round, low voice, frank eyes, beautiful
hair; by the way a girl walks, talks,
plays, rides, puns; by her gifts, her smiles,
her ~amiability, good taste, generosity, or
the very manner in which she greets,
f~Ascinates or abuses him. She may not
know how she won him, but if she doesn't
know how to keep him, the best thing
for her to do is find cut
There are many things we know by in
tuition; the rest have to be learned by
experience. Conscious Of her abilities or
liabilities rs a wife, a wise woman viii
learn how to keep a husband just as she
learns how TO keep house, to make
chicken c~roquettes, chocolate cream,
bread, beds or lemonade, and if she
doesn't, why, some siren viii for all time
relieve her of the trouble. Men like to
preach down extravaganza, and style,
and dress; but the woman who bangs her
hair, hides a blotch OF scar under a piece
of court-plaster, who wants pretty gloves
and stockings, trim slippers, perfumes,
balms, cold creams, finger curls and fancy
notions to increase her charms, is the wo-
man who is admired by them all. Com
mon sense and ugliness may be morally
wholesome, but they're not alluring, and
art is apt to triumph owe natures adorn-
mel is.
If a man is fond of 4attery, let him
have it. If he has ambitions or schemes,
listen to him with open eyes of wonder,
and, no matter what the occasion is, never
permit your knowledge to exceed his.
Men despise smart women, but have no
fault to find when her talent is large
enough to appreciate his greatness. Men
like to be looked up at, depended on,
quoted and referred to.
An ugly temper is a trial few women
are able to endure. The only cure is
silence. You can't kiss a furious man
it only makes him worse. The thing to
do is to keep still, let him cool, and let
the matter drop. He will respect your
sense, and come to terms or his own ac-
cord. To be born a woman is to be born
a martyr, but the husband hat is worth
wedding is worth keeping; and if q little
artifce, a pleasant smile, a contented
heart, ~forbearance, devotion and tact will
hold him, by all means let him be held.
Men must be taken as they are, not as
they should be; they improve under the
refining influence of mutual interest and
love, and he is a very wretched specimen
of humanity who cannot be counted on
to shield his wife from the Bullets of the
world and be an anchor for her when
youth and beauty have proven unfaithful.

In the spring of a certain year, not far
from the close of the Nineteenth century,
when the political relations between the
United States and Great Britain became
10 strained that careful observers on
Doth sides of the Atlantic were forced to
;he belief that serious break in these
relations might be looked for at any
time, the fishing schooner Eliza Drum
sailed from port in Maine for the banks
of Newfoundland.
1t was in this year that new system
Of protection for American fishing YES
sells had been adopted in Washington.
Every fleet of these vessels was accom-
panied by one or more United States
cruisers, which remained OH the fishing
grounds, not only for the purpose Of
warning unwary American craft who
might approach too near the three mile
limit, but also to overlook the action Of
the British naval vessels on the coast,
and to interfere, at least by protest, with
such seizures of American fishing boats
as might appear to be unjust In the
opinion of all persons of sober Judgment
there was nothing in the condition of
affairs at this time so dangerous to the
peace of the two countries as the pres
ence of these American cruisers in the
fishing waters.
The Eliza Drum was late in her arri-
val on the fishing grounds, and having,
under orders from Washington, reported
to the commander of the Lennehaha,
the United States vessel in charge at
that place, her captain and crew went
vigorously to work. to make up for lost
time. They worked SO vigorously and
with eyes so single to the catching Of
fish, that on the morning of the day
after their arrival they were hauling up
cod at a point which. ;,,wcrGing 10 the

In consequence of thi; in;ittcntiol to
the apparent extent Ct The marine 1aile
the Eliza Drum, little I,cfcre noon,
was overhauled and seized by the Brit
ish cruiser Dog Star. A few miles
away the Lennehaha had perceived the
dangerous position of the Eliza Drum,
and had started toward her to warn her
to take less doubtful position. Tut
before she arrived the capture hnl taken
place. When he reached the spot where
the Eliza Drum had been fishing the
commander of tic Lcnnchaha made an
observation Of tie distance from Tx
shore. and calculated it to be more than

three miles. Whon he SonC an OI1cer
in boat to the Dog Star to state the re-
suit of his computations the captain of
the British vessel replied that he was
satisfied the distance was less than three
miles. and hat he was now about to
take the Eliza Drum into port.
On receiving this information, the
commander of the Lennehaha steamed
closer to the Dog Star and. informed her
captain by means of speaking trumpet,
that If he took the Eliza Drum into
Canadian port, he would first have to
sail over his ship To this the captain of
the Dog Star replied that he did not in
the least object to sail over the Lenne-
haha, and proceeded to put a prize. crew
on board the fishing vessel.
At this juncture the captain of the
Eliza Drum ran up a large American
flag; in five minutes afterward the cap
tain Of the prize crew hauled it down; in
less than ten minutes after this the Len
nehaha and the Dog Star were blazing at
each other with their bow guns. The
spark had been struck.
The contest was not long one. The
Dog Star was of much greater tonnage
and heavier armament than her antago-
mist, and early in the afternoon she
steamed for st. Johns, taking with her
as prizes both the Eliza Drum and the
Lennehaha.
: All that night, at every point in the
United States which was reached by
telegraph, there burned smothered fire;
and the next morning, when the regular
and extra editions of the newspapers
were poured out upon the land, the fire
burst into roaring blaze. From lakes
to gulf, from ocean to ocean, on mount
ain and plain, in city and prairie, it
roared and blazed. Parties, sections,
politics were all forgotten. Every A1neri-
can formed part Of an electric system;
the same fire flashed into every soul. No
matter what might be thought on the
morrow, OF in the coming days which
might bring better understanding, this
day the unreasoning fire blazed and
roared.
With morning newspapers i'll their
hands men rushed from the breakfast
tables into the streets, to meet their fell
low men. What was it that they
should do?
Detailed accounts of the affair came
rapidly, but there was nothing in them
to quiet the national indignation. The
American flag had been hauled down by
Englishmen, an Americas naval vessel
had been fred into and captured that
was enough! No matter whether the
Eliza Drum was within the three mile
limit or not! No matter which vessel
fired first! If it were the Lennehaha,
the more honor to her; she ought to
have done itl From platform pulpit,
stump and editorial office came one We
hement, passionate shout directed to-
ward Washington.
Congress was in session, and in it's halls
the fire roared louder and blazed higher
than or mountain or plain, in city OF
prairie. No member of the government,
from president to page, ventured to OPP
pose the tempestuous demands of the
people. The day for argument upon the
exciting question had been long and
weary one, and it had gone by. In less
than week the great shout of the peo-
pie was answered by declaration of war
against Great Britain.
When this had been done those who
demanded war breathed easier, but those
whomust directthe war breathedharder.

Trims for Yale Men.

Notwithstanding the fact that the police
recently raided a gambling den in Lamar
block and seized and destroyed the gambling
paFaphernalia, gambling still iourishes In
the same building, and young men, particu-
larly Yale students, continue to lose large
sums there, The gamblers In this den are
old hands at the business, and they take extra
precaution that no stranger shall enter the
room where the gambling Is DONE In the
room are poker tables, a roulette table and
other apparatus. A young man who is well
known on the college campus, but who never
belonged to any but the "skinning" depart
ment of Yale, acts as dealer at one Of the
tables, and he wins thousands Of dollars from
the students annually. If reports are true
and no one who is posted doubts them, the
Lamar block gambling den is helping to ruin
scores of young men whose parents are deny
ing themselves necessities to send their son
through Yale,-New Haven Palladium;
