times with interest.
BE saving. but don't be stiney.
The stingy man is generally mean TO
others, bat he's meaner to himself.

the greatest Of them all, Willie, is
this:
When you use your jack knife al

SCENE as though sent by one risen from
the dead, fer he had for days been given
up.
Mr.. McHartland is what is known as
branch pilot of St. John. and some two
weeks ago took out a schooner. The
weather was not very favorable when they
sailed, but Mr.. Mcfarland thought that
he could go back without difficulty, and
after reaching the ordinary limit of pilot
service, made the attempt.
He failed, and instead of making port
was driven out to sea. His condition was
from the start bad enough, and soon grew
desperate. He had hope that he might
be seen by some vessel or get in the path
OF the great ocean steamers. 1t was his
one chance. even il he could keep
alive in the bitter cold. His
little boat was carried off the
banks. and then. at night, he says he had
marvellous escape. He says he was half
asleep, the wind was high, and the sea
very rough. and yet above the noise of
both he heard strange sound, and putting
out his hand touched the iron side Of an
outgoing steamer. The great boat passed
on into the darkness in an instant, before
he could even cry out, but he caught a
glimpse of her lights and heard for mo-
ment the beating and throbbing Of her en-
glnes. Mr.. Mcfarland says he was too
thankful for his wonderful escape to be
disappointed at his failure to make himself
heard.
He was at last, after he had given him.
