Not So Dangerous as II Looked.

The Passengers aboard the river
steamer St. Lawrence last Sunday after
noon were witnesses of what at first ap-
peared TO be a serious accident, threaten
ing the lives of five or six young men.
As the big steamer approached the
dock at Clayton a tWO-masted canoe put
out The Gateen sails spread quite a con-
siderable surface of the breeze. which
was not light one, and as the frail-
looking craft got where the full force of
the wind caught the canvas il careened
until the lee rail was awash. though all
those aboard were perched upon the
weather rail. The sheets appeared to
be fast. instead of being held by the
skipper, as is usually the case Suddenly
a puff of wind struck the sails. and
easily and gracefully the canoe laid itself
on it's beam ends The crew climbed
upon the upper rail and over the side of
the canoe Finding a foothold on the
keel and centerbOard they all hung as
far out as possible, and the canoe slowly
righted. As it did so the young men
clambered aboard again, and shaping
the craft to it's former course. continued
their voyage in the most matter-of-fact
way The upset created not the least
excitement among the other bOatmen in
the vicinity. and they only laughed at the
vociferous demands of some of the St.
LaWrence's passengers that they go TO
the aid of the crew of the capsiZed canoe.
1t was but a few moments until the
canoe again laid its masts and sails fiat
on the surface of the water and again
the occupants of the craft crawled out
on the uppermost rail and again righted
the boat.
Then it became evident that the cap
size was not entirely-nO. not even partly
an accident. But is was quite as
thrilling an episode TO those who wit
messed it and who did not understand
the maneuvers as though it had been a
genuine accident.-Utica Observer.

WASHINGTON, July Slaughter
released" was the wording of telegram
received a the state department yester-
day. The substance of the story back of
the message is that this government has
lust saved the life of a Missourian who
fought four years to destroy it, and then
expatiated himself rather than accept a
pardon.
{ Philip Slaughter was in Rio janeiro jail
awaiting his time TO be shot when the
United States interfered in his behalf.
He was born and reared in little coun-
direction from Kansas City SO ardent
was his love for the southern confederacy
that he went into the war while a mere
boy. and came out of it minus one foot.
He was so disguised at the failure or his
beloved South that Immediately or Gen.
Lees surrender he hobbled OF TO South
America and, locating in Brazil, began a
business career that brought him good
repute and prosperity. Unluckily, how
ever. he got tangled in the recent political
complications that have distracted the
southern republic, and once more chas1-
pioned the losing side. Some weeks ago
he managed TO get word to his brothers,
one of whom lives in Kansas City. and
the other a Chicago banker, that unless
they interceded for him right speedily he
would probably be taken out Of Jail 10
make Brazilian holiday.
His relatives hurried to Washington,
saw Congressman Tarsney. and the mat
ter was at once laid before Secretary
Gresham The latter interceded success
fully.-St. Louis GlObe-Democrat.

SETTING A ROOSTER.
How a Down East Darkey Hatched
Out a Flock of Chickens.

A citizen Of Rumford had canvassed the
town in vain from end to end in search
of "a hen to set" says the Providence
Journal. when he heard that an old dar-
key on the Boston, Providence 6, New
port road had a great deal of setting
stock" AS this was just what he want
ed he lost no time in hunting him up.
He found the Old man building a hem
coop in the rear of his residence. Ap-
preaching. he asked by way Of broaching
the subject, how many hens he had set
ting.
'Three hens and a rooster. boss
And a which," inquired the poultry
man. thinking he had not heard straight.
"A rooster" replied the darkey.
Seeing the look Of dlstrust on his visit
or's face, he took him into q low build
ing. and sure enough there sat a large
Brahma rooster calmly covering twenty
eggs. on one side sat two hens, and on
the other a third hen. The visitor. see
ing how stately the rooster sat, secretly
resolved to get some of the darSey's eggs
and hatch out a special lot Of rOOsters.
On being asked what he did when the
roosters wouldn't sit any longer, the
darkey replied that dat ar rooster done
bound to set" pointing underneath the
box. Looking under the box. the visitor
was surprised TO find both the roOster's
legs sticking through holes in the box.
The black rascal had actually bored holes
through the box and tied the ROSTERS
legs underneath. so. as he said. the
rooster was done bound to set" Inquir-
ing into the matter, the RumfOrd man
found that the darkey had four hens and
one rooster Three of the hens were sit
ting and the other hen was laying. The
darkey. finding that the eggs of the hen
accumulated quite fast, decided to let
up feeding the rooster corn and make
him hatch a flock Of chickens.

could crawl to his work.
The story Of that spring-tide is too
pitiful to dwell upon. Now faster. now
slower. they went east which is TO say,
down hill. In an agony of despair, when
Bertrod became i'll again. Rhoda wrote to
his father, telling him that his boy was

added proudly. Rhoda did not tell him
that she was writlng-f the father
should aid his son in his strait, she
wished it to appear spontaneous. The
only answer was the letter returned,
through Mr.. Leyton's solicitor, who was
authorized to say that Mr.. Legion de-
clined TO hold any communication with
his son or his wife" She showed Bertrod
the letter. He set his teeth firmly, but
wept bitter tears as he went to the Of

AT last they were in Hoxton, menaced
by the union. Bertrod was now pawn
brokers' assistant at twelve shillings
a week. Their lodgings were such as
they would have shrunk with horror
from year ago; now they were thank
full they had such a home. Both were
still weak. and subject TO spells of i'll
ness. Their life could be summed up.
when both were not i'll, comparative hap
piness; one alone, tolerable; both, de-
spair.
And yet they had managed to keep
their souls and minds intact. 1t was
western feeling in the heart of the east.
Sometimes 1t worked for happiness; at
others II made life exquisite torture.
The rough people among whom they
lived recognized the difference, and
christened them the lady and gentle
man. At first it was sarcastic and
malicious; but by and by it became
good-natured appellation, and by some
even of affection. If the husband did

not in purse. "A rale lady, but coined
down; weak a babby, and her man
coEsumptive," was the general descrfp-
ton of her by her rough neighbOrs.
Their acknowledges were anything Dut
refined; and it was like open wound
in Bertrods heart TO think that, instead
of giving the girl who had worked in his
fathers mill life UNNECESSARILY better
it was UNNECESSARILY worse Drink
fighting, bad language-such was the at
mosphere in which the gentle girl had 10
live. And what of their child, the darl-
ing girl who was to be such a jewel as
never child was before or since? what
would she be in the atmosphere of Dark
man-st? Not that their acknowledges
had no respect for their feelings; but, of
course, it was an impossibility that they
could, even il they would, alter their
mode of life and change their nature
just because a superior couple happened
to be lodging in the same house. They
did tone down their picturesque Ian

pale-faced, gentle trio in the room above;

 For leavening power, keeping quali- ties, purity and general excellence the Worlds Fair jury decided that Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powde: had no equal. On each of its clalms it was awarded a first prize or diploma. All the baking powders entered for prizes were subjected to a most ex- haustive examination, and the jury was the best equipped to make the de- cision of any ever got together. Their verdict was supported by the testimony of Dr. H. w. Wiley, chief chemist of the United States Department of Agri- culture at Washington. Dr. Wiley is an expert on food products and the highest authority on such matters in America. This verdict settles long debated question as to which among the many baking powders is the best.
