On the waters of Buzzard's bay plies

Several wears ago an old negro went TO
the shores of this bay to make aliving for
himself and his wife. They were very

Fishermen, with all the kindly courtesy OF

would 90 out or the squeteagues, come IN,
and could guide the boats directly to the

The boatmen who took ou' parties OF
amateur fishermen always secured Dempsy
as helper when they could get him, IN or;
der 10 use his marvellous skill. They paid
him but trife for his services.
The old couple did not grow rich. In
deed. they had a hard struggle TO live.
One summer Dempsy was hired at low
rate by boatman, who took out almost
every day the same party, half dozen
young men from Harvard on their vaca-
ton.
The young fellows became fond of the
patient. kindly old man, TO whom they
owed the success Of their fishing. One
day they said TO him What do you want
in this world, Dempsey"
His eyes twinkled.
"a boat. sah," he said promptly, " big

The young men laughed and left Demp-
sy in his cabin. Then one of them said:
I'VE have plenty of money to waste on
our own amusement. We can afford TO do
this thing. We owe much to the old man,
and this boat will give him livelihood for
the rest of his days. What do you say,
boys?"
The result was that one Of them ran
down by train to New Bedford that after
noon. 1t was easy to find boat answer
ing the description which the old man had
gwen, and to order her to be painted white
and blue.
A week later the old negro was reused at
daylight by q tremendous pounding on his
door. He came out. No human being was
in sight, but on tie bay, anchored Just in
front of his cabin, was big boat, painted
white and blue. and on the stern IN gilt let
tiers the name, Dempsy's Dream.
She still floats, pleasant reminder OF the
kindly goodwill that gave and the honest
service that earned her.

THE cADps woNoRous WISDOM.
An Oriental Story with Decidedly
American Flavor.


Many years ago, says the Philadelphia
Times, there lived in an eastern land man
who was prominent and thought to be
rich. When he died, however, it was
found his possessions were very slight in
deed. In his will, among some trihing
legacies, was the following:
"Of the three young men, who consider
themselves my children have just claim
to one alone. The others are not of my
blood, but adopted. 1 will not say who
the riphtful heir is, but have left the mat
ter TO the decision of the cadi. In his pos
session is 1 900 pieces of gold, which will
be given to my true child after he has
proved his claim"
The three reputed sons at once repaired
to the cadi. He thereupon handed each of
them a gold ring saying:
Take this ring and 60 about in the
world and seek your fortunes. Use the
Jewel as q talisman, watch overit, preserve
It, and after three years return tonne.
will then announce who is the true SON of
his father, and, deliver to him the 1000
pieces of gold"
The boys at once withdrew and disap-
peared in different directions, amid the
crowded haunts of men. They never
crossed each others path nor heard of one
another, but at the appointed time again
made their appearance before the cadi for
veal or woe.
"Where Is your ring ?" he asked of the
first and eldest.
The gold band was handed to the Judge
with the remark: 1T is here. It has
brought me luck. Ihaye had good worldly
fortune and all goes well with me.n
Then was questioned the second.
"Here Is my ring.n He opened his cloak
and showed it, bound round his neck by a
silk ribbon. Fortune has followed my
every footstep. 1t has been continual
blessing" ~
At last the cadi turned to the youngest.
well, and where is your ring?n The
boy was silent. A blush stole DER his face,
and his eyes Iell 10 the earth. Then, after
q struggle, he managed to say:
Il haven't got it. I've pawned it.n
The cadi, handing him over the thousand
pieces of gold, cried:
THE money is yours. By your disposal
of the ring recognize that you are really
your fathers son."

WASHINGTON, February 16.-For four
hours to-day the Senate was In executive
session considering the advisabillty OF ex-
tending Government aid to the enterprise
of LAYING and operating a photographic cable
between the United States and the Ha-
vain or Sandwich Islands. The subject
came first before the Senate through the
introduction by Senator Mitchell, OF Ore
CON. of an amendment TO the sundry civil
sppropriation bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to engage with citizens or corpora
tlons of the United States possessing the
necessary means and facilities Tor teie-
graphic communication between the
United States and the Kingdom OF Hawaii
upon reasonable terms for a period OF
not less than fourteen years and
for a sum not exceeding $4,000, 900,
not more than $250,0OO to be eX-
pended IN any one year. This amend
ment was reported back from the
Committee on Foreign Relations In such
shane that il could be attached to either
the sundry civil or the diplomatic appro-
priation bill, and as the latter was the first
TO come before the Senate the Senate went
into executive session to determine
whether the amendment should Dc at
tached to it. 1t was felt that the matter
should be so considered, inasmuch as there

which could not be prudently discussed in
public. In the debate during the execu-
tive session Messrs. Edmunds, Mitchell,
Dolph. and Morgan advocated the amend
ment and Messrs. Vest, George, Cockrell,
and Carlisle opposed it, but it was finally
decided, upon a yea and nay vote, that the
amendment should be attached 70 the
