He Wanted Peace.

A little bald headed man with the
humblest sort OF look on his face was
working at bench In q carpenter shop
on Champlain street the other day when
a big fellow came in and asked:
as your name John -T
"Yes. cir.
"Well. have bill for $3.50 against
you from the butcher. He's tired of
sending it. You either pay now or I'll
give you good licking!"
IN pay" said the little man. and hs
out with his wallet and handed over the
money.
The collector smiled and chuckled and
went away; but half an hour later he
came back and queried:
ais your name John -"
"Yes, SIR"
"But you are not the man I'm after.
You didn't owe the butcher"
'No. sir, never saw the butcher"
"Then why did you pay?"
''To avoid being licked, SIR"
"But you didn't even protest
"No. sir. 1t wouldn't have done any
good. 1t wasn't two weeks ago that my
landlady overcharged me and l pro-
tested, and I'm under the doctors care
yet."-Detroit Free Press.

Eliza Cox was never recaptured, though
the house was searched once during her
stay there, and the fireplace Is still shown
in which she was secreted behind pile
of wood arranged as for burning. This
fireplace. which I photographed, is at
least three feet deep and six wide, and
afforded ample room for hiding. Subss-
quently Eliza returned to Mrs Stowe,
and afterward married and lived in Gin
cinnai and raised family.
For many years John Van Zandt con-
tinued his services for the fugitive slaves,
and then laid down the burden of life.
He was buried in a country graveyard
in the valley, and from the old house in
which he lived so long one can see the
glistening stone that marks the spot
where the body of Van Tromp mol
dered back to dust. Only one grave now
remains OF the hundreds once there.

Are Tide Flats Part Of tho Bay In De.
termintng City Bound ariesf

Are Tide Flats Part Of tho Bay In Ne.
terminin9 City Boundariesf
Tho harbor line cOmmission met with some
dim u!ty yesterday In determining the south.
west boun AIRY Of the city, between the Du-
vanish and deep water The charter states
that the boundary ID through the center OF Eli.
OTIS bay snd the Dawamish river. The fact
that the Duwamish river has several mouths
and channels created some discussion, but the
commission reached the decision that the main
one was intended
The commission was inclined to hold that the
boundary ran in the center Of the main channel
from the land out over the tide fats to deep
water. Mr.. ]. b. Me'csife, however, argued in
behalf of the West Seattle people that the tide
fats were to b. considered a part Of the bay.
and that there the channel was not to be fol.
lowed for the boundary, but the middle IL to be
taken from shore TO shore. The commissions
position held thus far Is that the bay does not
properly begin till deep water IL reached. The
drawbrtdge at the MIDDLE Of the main Din.
vanish channel is. they claim. intended to be
~ the city boundary.
