Text, "And the Darbarous people showed us no little kindness" Acts 2S: 2.
 It was a chill and stormy November morning. The gray dawn of the day broke upon throng of pallid and ter TOT smitten faces. Shivering with the cold, drenched by the sea brine, soaked to the skin, motley group of 276 men, soldiers, sailors, prisoners and passen- gers had crawled up out of the breakers upon this desolate and surf beaten shore. For two long dreary weeks their vessel had been drifting, a leaking and dis mantled hulk, swept from stem to stern by the dashing spray, hopeless wreck in the angry jaws of an Euroclydon, rudder- less, mastless, seemingly going to certain ruin. The men, in their desperation, had frightened the luckless ship; with the as- sistance of all hands

This inelosing and barricading of the tongue by an All- wise Creator ought to bid us take heed how we use so dangerous a weapon. But how little heed we give it. With it we cut and slash and rend and tear, and the wounds which this weapon infiicts are the hardest to heal.

His Boyish- Looking Son At Immense
Help to- the Presiding OG,eer.
When Speaker Crisp occupies the
chair in the house of representatives
his son Charles stands always at his
right hand. The young mans official
title is speakers clerk" and the du-
ties Of his position are of peculiar
nature. Anyone who has occasion to
deal with the father soon finds out
how much dependence he places on
the son. 1t is also easy to see that the
speaker is devoted to the slim, boyish
clerk who is his memory, his prompter,
his congressional directory and his
daily program rolled into one. There
is no young man in this country to-
day who holds more important and
arduous position than young Charles
Crisp. He looks like school-boy, SO
young and fresh is his face.
When the house is called to order he
appears at his fathers right hand.
The speaker doesn't need a lot Of
memoranda his son takes their place.
The business for the day has been laid
out by the committee on rules and the
speaker. Charlie Crisp has seen the
chairman of the committee or his clerk
and has the program in his memory.
He knows just what business has been
arranged for the daily session and in
just what order all bills are to be
taken up. He also knows which mem
bers are to be recognized 90 introduce
bills, and every man who is to speak
on every measure to be discussed. He
knows in what order it has been ar
ranged to recognize them and he
keeps his father appraised of the order.
Young Mr.. Crisp is the one person in
the house who knows the name of
every member. When the new ones
come in he studies them up till he has
them oil in his head. He knows what
committees they are assigned to and
frequently the subcommittee as we'll.
1t is one Of his duties to be ready to
prompt the speaker with names Of
members, for in the rush of business,
confusion rcigns around the speakers
chair very frequently, but the speak

Man Drowned.

Between 2 and O'Clock Thursday

mile TO the east he discovered the upper

apparently broken through the ice and
was endeavoring to extrlcate himself.
Father Terhorst at once gave the alarm
and crew organized to go to tho rescue.
AS no one seemed willing To risk the ice
boat was gotten In readiness after much
delay. The work of getting the boat
out to the drowning man was both dllli-
cult and tedious, as the men broke
through the ice every little while, and
they had to proceed with much caution.

sound, nor witnessed so weird and ter
rible sight.
Hastily awakening the other men in
the camp1 mounted horse and fed
from the flames. But the horse could
not keep pace with the progress of the
fire. The lurid heavens looked as
though they were at molten heat; the
air was sitting; the smoke almost suf-

boughs burned my horse, and the sick

the horror. Within two or three hours

Held Tor burglary.

A colored individual named Allen Kin
ney was arrested last Thursday on co n
plant OF Finnish woman named Katie
Asbury on charge of burglary.
The examination was held by Justice
Ormsby aud upon the showing made Kin
ncy was held TO the circuit court In 81 900
bail. Being unable to furnish this he was
committed.
From the testimony introduced 1t ap-
pears that this Katie Asbury keeps house
for q man named Chris Anderson. Until
about two weeks ago they lived In ore
part OF house In Nester's mill yard aud
family named Shirley lived in the other
part. Mrs. Shirley has been sick much
OF the time recently and Allen kinuey's
wife came there 10 do some work. Dur
ing this time Katie conveyed to her the
Information that she had large amount
of money ia her trunk, some $1,000 or
theresboqts, ABOUT two weeksago ChGls
Anderson and Katie moved TO another
part OF the town aud it appears that Kin
ney made special inquiry as to the place
they moved to.
Wednesday evening fire was discovered
In MI. F.. A. Critchfeld's outhouses and
an alarm OF fire was given.
Crilchfield's place is but short dis
lance from where Anderson lives, and
during she excitement which followed
the alarm OF fire Anderson went out to
see about it, leaving Katie alone. While
he was absent man with mask over
the lower part OF his face entered the
house and proceeded to the trunk where
Katie Is supposed to have kept her
money, and commenced overhauling Its
contents. Katie appeared upon the scene
at this juncture and enquired 10 broken
English what he was about. The bur-
glar, fearing she might give an alarm,
turned upon her and struck her blow
with a loaded "bily' which cut an
ugly wound on her head and felled her to
the floor senseless. He secured no booty,
however. as the girl had deposited her
money a few DAYS prioriu some bank.
At the examination the defendant at
tempted to prove an alibi. but had no
evidence 10 'corrobora.e his own state
ment. He was positively identified by
Katie, hence he was held for trial.
As there was no apparent cause for
the fire in Mr.. Critchtield's outhunseS IL
looks as though this was part OF The
scheme OF robbery, evidently set 10 de-
tract attention from the scene OK the

Since the days of William Kidd, the
talented but unfortunate buccaneer of

halo of romance over the head Of sea
cooks. They have been the heroes
and villains of prodigious tales, and
even their sons have been endowed
with peculiar attributes. Not one,
however, is himself more of unique
specimen than the cook of the British
ship John Cook, which recently ar
rived at San Diego, Cal, after a long
and dangerous voyage from Cardiff
This cook is full-blooded Apache
Indian born in the White mountains
of Arizona. His people, the terrible
White mountain and Tonic Apaches,
have caused no end of trouble to the
troops and settlers In Arizona. This
man was named Tumashaney (Silver
River) and was taken when still a
child to Mexico, where he was raised.
He has followed the sea for the
greater part of his life, and has visit
ed every part of the globe, learning
several languages, including English,
and becoming some years ago . mem
Der Of the masonic fraternity. In
civilization he is known as John Levin.
He is quite dark, with the Indian
physiognomy, and although 80 years
Of age, appears hardly in middle life.
