word is passed forward regarding the
uniform to be worn that day. One day
it will be all blue, the next all white,
and then white and blue mixed. When
there is work to be done the order

day will be working clothes, and every
body must be dressed alike at quarters.

in to fetch the party Off to the ship.
On the first trip we brought them all
off but two, bigger and n fireman
named Price. Price was Welshman,
whom we nicknamed Taffy for short.
He was short, thick, dumpy little
fellow, who always wore trousers in
tended for a full-grown man. He
never had the pants altered TO fit his
short legs, consequently they looked
like pair of accordions. All his fin
gers were gone at the second Joint,
owing TO an accident he met with in
the tire-room. They were taking up
the iron deck-plates one day. One of
the men with crowbar got a pinch
between the joints, and raised a plate
which weighed about 900 pounds.
Taffy was standing on the plate at the
time, and, 'tooping over he put his
fingers in the crack and began to lift.
But the crowbar slipped, the plate
came down with Taffy standing on it,
and broke his fingers off.
very sad accident" murmured the
lubber.
Yes. Well, when we got back on
the second trip Taffy and Bilser had
been having HI of time. They
were both drunk, Bilger having the
biggest load and Taffy was kindly
taking care of him. While we were
away on the first trip bigger concluded
that it would be good idea to swim
off TO the ship-about two miles. So,
without saying a word to his guardian,

his clothes on. Bilger couldn't swim

open, he filled. and would have gone
to the bottom had a native not jumped
in and pulled him out"
"Where was this, Cap'n?
"On an island III the South Pacific.
OF course Bilger felt uncomfortable
with his wet clothes on, and as soon as
he got his breath he proceeded to strip.
Taffy hell ing him. All went well with
bigger till he got TO his shirt, which
he pulled off over his head in the usual
way. He forgot, however, to unbutton
the cuffs. The cuff Of man-of-war
shirt fits tight to the wrist, and is fas-
tened with three horn buttons, sewed
on with waxed thread So when Bill
ger skinned his shirt off the sleeves
turned wrong side out and chung to
his wrists closer than n brother. He
was too drunk to know what was the
matter, so he got excited. Taffy was
helping him, but he broke away and
went galloping along the beach, howl
ing like wild man, and waving the
wet, soggy shirt in the air.
when we reached the dock Taffy
was pursuing the unhappy Bilger. But
as he was short handed on fingers and
Bilger's body being wet and slippery
he couldn't hold him. Two or three
of us started to help Taffy, but he
waved us back: said he was sailing

AN engine-d driver on one of the Scotch
lines reports that he has noticed that
certain hawks of the merlin or stone
falcon" species make use of the passing
of the trains for predatory purposes.
They fly close behind the train, near the
ground, partly hidden by the smoke, but
carefully watching for the small birds
which, frightened by the train as II
rushes roaring past, fly up in bewildered
shoals; the merlins then, while the little
birds are thinking more of the train than
of lurking foes, swoop on them from the
ambush of the smoke and strike them
down with ease. If they miss, they re-
turn to the wake Of the carriages and re-
sumo theit flight and their hunt. They
can, it seems, easily keep pace with an
express train, and outstrip it when they
please.

A Veterans Views.

turn to pure and honest party practices
is from the old or middle aged men tax
ing vigorous hold Of the existing evils.
No reflection is cast on many of the
younger voters, save that they have
been ushered in the political arena in a
time OF rank corruption. They have
been schooled to methods in conven-
tions, during campaigns and on election
days that have deadened the sense of
what is seemly and honest in them, and
they have accepted the present disgrace
full, dishonest political methods pursued
by the party as a political necessity, and
one which must be vigorously followed
ii success is desired. 1t now becomes
the imperative duty of the "old liners"
who have known the party in its very
best days, to boldly demand return to
honest methods and clean work and by
SO doing win back disgusted voters who
have left the party on account Of the
corruption winked at. But to the letter;
though brief, it is vigorous. The aged
voter says:

The Farmers Alliance.

The meeting which had been adver-
tised by the Farmers Alliance, in the
interest OF which organization meeting
WIS held by number of the farmers Of
this on last Saturday week, was held at
City Hall last Tuesday afternoon, and
was very largely attended by both far
mers and men of other avocations and
professions The State Lecturer of the
Farmers Alliance OF Ohio, Mr.. Miller
Purvis, was present and addressed the
meeting. Mr.. Purvis knows at least
some OF the needs of the farmers of this
county, which needs seem to be com.
mon to the agricultural interests OF Ohio
as we'll as OF other States. The objects
of the Alliance are fully set forth in the
resolutions passed at the meeting held
the 9Th OF the present month and which
are given below. The feasibility of an
organization OF this kind is apparent;
nay, looking at the other organisations
which are so common in the land at
this time, the absolute necessity of a
farmers organization becomes apparent.
The methods of these modern times,
through which any aim is accomplished,
is organization. Hence the necessity
for this. 1t is not because farmers lack
intelligence that little heed is given to
their special interest in legislation, but
because they are not aggressive nor con-
stantly demanding recognition by or in
our legislative councils. But new era
seems to be dawning, and the farming
interest and the farmers intelligence
may solve the problem of discrimination
in much of our legislation commonly
known as class legislation. The meet.
ing on last Tuesday was organized by
calling G. N. Pulse to the chair and ap'
pointing Frank Miller Secretary. After
the address of Mr.. Purvis, the following
named gentlemen were enrolled as men,
