A GOOD deal of admiration has been
wasted in the past on Jim Bludso, {"
John Hays heroic engineer, who, be-
ing on the burning Prairie Belle on the
Mississippi, lived up to an oath he
had sworn long before and ''held her
nozzle agin the bank till the last ga
loot got ashore" 1t did not occur to
the poet, and probably escaped the
notice of his readers for the most part,
that when Jim had crowded on all
the steam he could he had done his
best and might just as we'll have es-
capped with the other ''galoots." The
only man who could ''hold her nozzle
agin the bank" was the wheelman,
and he was wholly overlooked by the
poet. In the latest case Of burning
steamboat, however, the pilot is done
full Justice by the dispatches. Itwas
on Lake Ontario that George Atkinson,
the pilot ofthe burning Geneva, brave
ly stood at his post amid the cracking
flames until the beat was tied up at
the wharf and every passenger had
been rescued. He has furnished the
text for a newer and a truer poem
than "Jim Bludso."

hymn books. The clergyman applied to a
London firm, and asked to be supplied at
the lowest church, rates. The firm replied
that on condition the hymn books contained
certain advertisements the congregation
should have them for nothing. Necessity
knows no law, and the minister sorrowfully
complied, thinking to himself that when
the advertisements came they could De re-
moved from the leaves. The hymn-books
arrived, and-ioy Of joys-they contained
no interleaved advertisements. At the
thanksgiving service the good parson joy

the congregation sang the first verse with
fervor. When they reached the last line
they found that this was what they had
been sinking:
"Hark the herald angels sing,
Beecham's pills are just the thing;
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
Two for man and one for child"
