 'T want this charged. I want to take it with me, and I've just thirty minutes to catch my train.
 "What name:" languidly inquired the salesman.
 70. Little, Kenosha, replied the man.
 "Got an account"
 "Had one for five years"
 "Are you MT. Littles"
 '1 am."
 The salesman called over floor walker and explained that MT. O. Little, of Keno sha, who had an account, and was Mir Little himself, had selected S7 umbrella, which he wanted to have charged and take with him.
 "Um-sh! !"said the floor walker. 'Iknoy Mrs. Little, but"
 "Well, I'm her husband, and pay the bills," said the man.
 "Um-ah!" said the floor walker. ''You have no idea how we are imposed upon the rules of the house are so strict-do you know any one in the store, Mir Littles''
 NIT. Little thought moment, and said he knew NIT. Beater in the carpet depart ment. Mir. Little and the floor walker un- fortunately found that MT. Bester WAS ill and not down that day MT.

CARGO JETTISONED.
The Cape of Good Hope Had to
Throw Coal Overheard.

The British ship Cape of Good Hope, Cap
tain Mcleod, arrived in port on Saturday,
after passage of 142 days from Swansea,
with a cargo of coal and coke for the
Renton Coal Company The captain made
an interesting report of the trip from which
the following is taken:
"Saled from Swansea August 2Sth
Crossed the equator on October I'd, in
longitude go west. Took the southeast
trades on the equator ana carried them to
latitude % south. Then had variable winds
TO the River Plate AMI were off there for six
days. Had westerly winds to the straits of
lie Maine; passed through the straits on
Noyembe 9th and on the 18th had n heavy
gale lasting twelve hours. Was twelve days
from 500 south in the Atlantic 10 so south in
the Pacific Crossed the equator in the
Pacific on December Dist, in longitude l lie
west, and took northeast trades in latitude
10 north and had fine weather thence to
port.
'On leaving Swansea the ship was fitted
with the necessary tubes for testing the
temperature OF the Goals, and this testing
was attended to daily. On October 4th.
when in latitude 80 south, longitude 26o
west, it was found that the coal was much
heated We placed a ermOmeter on the
surface of the coal and found temperature
of 1917. An iron rod, IA feet long, was then
driven in through the Goals, about the center
of the main hatch, and alter being there one
hour it was drawn out and found to be
heated all over We then started to clear
the coke out of the tween decks in the
square of the main hatch, and boxed the
hatch around with planking to keep the
coke from tumbling into the lower hold
A thermnmeter-tuDe placed in the center Of
the coal in the main hatch showed il tenn
perature Of 1892.
THE weather looked threatening and we
stopped trimming Goals and bent the best
suit Of sails. On October 18th when latitude
% SOUTH longitude 41o west the teApera-
ture had risen to 1l4o. | consulted with my
officers and determined 10 jettson the heated
norton Of the cargo. None but small coal
was jettisOned, and an accurate tally was
kept of the weight and number of tubs of
coal thrown overheard. The amount Jet
tisoned was ITO tons during twenty-eight
DAYS.
when an iron rod was driven in aft in a
line with the pump-wellS it was found on
being withdrawn TO be very hot We then
stopped working downward and worked
aft as far as the after-part of the water
tanks on the st1rboard side. This part of
the cargo was so hot as to be lnbearable in
the hands. The greatest heat registered was
1912. After the coal mentioned had been
jettsoned the temperature was reduced suf-
nciently that it was considered safe to
knock off"
On November 14th the Cape of Good Hope
spoke the British ship Queen Elizabeth in
latitude 49, south, longitude So west, and
on the same day spoke the British mission
airy sch oner Allen Gardiner of London,
bound from the Falkland Islands TO a set
Element close TO Cape Horn.

Report of the Commission-Improve
and suggestions.
From the biennial report of the Yosemite
Valley Commissioners. just issued, it is
learned that great improvements have taken
place in the valley during the past eighteen
months. Amolg these are the restoration
OF Mirror Lake and improvements on the
snow trai-two works which all tourists
will appreciate. A telephone commurica-
ton has also been established between the
hotels, trail stables and Glacier Point, and
new trail has been built from the floor of
Little Yosemite to Clouds Rest.
The report advises the extension of the
reservation lane around the bis-tree grove,
so that it will cover Signal Peak and the
neighbOring mountain slopes and SUBMITS :;
also the establishment at WawOna and some
other convenient point of two companies of
cavalry to patrol the mountains on police
duty. The experience of the Commissioners
constrains the request that the appropria-
ton for the next biennial period be $4,000,
of which $4,000 should be devoted to the
bg-tree grove.
The Commissioners condemn the articles
which appeared in the Century some months
ago as shameful perverson of the truth
with the evident design of diverting travel
away from the most picturesque spot in the
country,

FIFE Is AT IT.

BILL FIFE is talking 20 Oxford people,
and he is doing all he can to get the
lightwood from the burning.
THE GLOBE has some use for FIFE,
and it has said as much, and Their again
it doubts much of his work-that is, it
doubts the collection which follows.
If CHRIST died to save sinners, without
pay, FIFE ought to work to save sinners
for a trife less than he receives.
We know that the coin of the realm is
a great thing We know that we all reach
for it and that we receive it when we
can.
But we doubt the methods Of the
JONEsEs, the FIFEs and the PEARsoNs.
All men in their hearts are wicked, and
all men need the jack screw of truth
placed under them and they need to be
lifted up into the brighter realm-up
where they may see their folly and their
weakness-but the question comes home
in chunks of solid wisdom:
What does it prosper a man to save
his own soul and lose his p~ocketbook ?"
OF course FIFE has as much right to
charge for his services as this Ola Man
has to charge for his paper, but hen it is
not on a contract. If FIFE would say
that he would do so much good for so
much money it would all be different.
But he works men up to a pitch of re-
ligious excitement and then, in a manner
goes through their pockets.
His methods are the same as the fellow
who wants to mob a man. The mob
gathers and If one fellow lets loose there
are fifty other fellows who will tie the
knot
Yet if FIFE is doing good let him go.
The world needs the assistance Of some
one who will do good!

navy. When completed she will be by
all odds the greatest warship ever in the
navy of this country and one of the great
est in the world. She will be, in fact, the
first really great vessel Of a navy which,
if carried to completion on the lines now
marked out, will be easily the foremost
in the world. This new addition to the
naval force of the country is not what is
called a battleship. She is denominated
an armored cruiser. She is something
more than is comprehended by that term.
She is described as both formidable and
defen.ible, capable Of accomplishing a
great deal that the battleship may do and
of avoiding a great deal that the battle
ship would have to submit to. In a word,
while there are few armOred cruisers
afoat that could withstand her attack,
there Is not a battleship in the navy Of
any nation that would have a certainty Of
vanquishing her.
The progress that is being made to-
ward the creation of a first-class navy
ought to excite the patriotism of every
American citizen. 1t contains the prom
Use that within a few years the United
States will be in a position, not only of
complete security against foreign enemies
but also able to command the respect of
foreign nations and a proper considera-
ton for her ris Its in every land. 1t was
said in a receIt interview by SECRETARY
TRACY that a great commercial nation
needed a great navy. The wisdom Of
this is attested by universal experience,
and the American people have not
awakened any too o. to its realization.
The experience of the past year has had
a most potent influence in convincing
the popular judgment that the time has
come when the United States, as one of
the foremost commercial nations of the
world, seeking constantly to extend her
trade relations, cannot afford to be with
| out the means to defend her commerce
on every sea and protect her rights in
every land.
