them, but Vehling never abandoned his
pet project In 1892 Vehling created a
sensation by appearing in San Francis
CO one day with his little schooner, which
he had single handed sailed all the way
from Alaska by means Of a small pocket
compass and a cheap clock that gained
over two hours during the 20 days trip.
Vehling was born in North Germany
40 years ago, came to this country in
1860 and served in the United States
navy during the war. After the war he
engaged in the ice business in Honolulu
and became possessed Of about $25, 900,
which he lost in the coal business in
Alaska. Then the old longing foE-the
Ladrones-the Summer Isles Of Eden"
seized him. and he decided to sail
there in the Knssiloff. Old salts pre-
dicted that he would surely be lost at
sea In such cockleshell, neighbors told
his wife that she and her children would
be drowned, but the couple sailed away
confident Of success. During the day
the eldest two children-one -, the
other 14-took turns steering, and at
night Vehling and his wife alternated
at the wheel.

CALAMITY FIRE ENGINE That Is What Clara Barton Calls

 for Her-0rigin of the Red
 Cross Society,"
HER WONDERFUL WORK

When the world is all at peace one there is happiness and prosperity on all sides the few of the outside world who re- member her at all think of her perhaps as an old woman, whose days of useful ness are about over.
 When calamity lets loose its wild shriek for aid the world again hears of Clara Barton. She may be old, her hair may be almost white, and her physical strength may be small, but she has the same broad love of humanity which led to life the disabled soldier.
 For nine months or more the Christian world has stood practically silent. while the helpless people of Armenia have been slaughtered. No hand has been raised to ward off the murderous sword or gun, or only crime is a belief in Christianity But when starvation threatens to ac- centuate the horror of wholesale massa- ere, Clara Barton quietly appears and sets to work in a practical way to lessen the sufferings of the unfortuna tes.
 It is a serious undertaking for any one to undertake to journey to Armenia these days. and it is a very dangerous one for a woman of Miss Barton's age. She appreciates this, and so do the other members of the Red Cross society, of which she is the president. for she re- gently said Not all of us who go will return. regard if as the most important work of my life and to this cause I

roadway so crudely mapped out, a list of eligible men is given herewith. Some of these men might refuse, but the wo- man must not be discouraged. If one turns deaf ear and marble heart an- other may prove more agreeable. The ladies, when misunderstanding, must re- member that perSistency is a great thing. Two or three rebuffs amount to nothing in the long run, providing, of course, that success finally crowns the effort.
 Some of these gentlemen are politically inclined and 1t would be well to begin on them, as few of them would be rash enough to antagonize femininity by re- fusing to grant any polite request. If any woman should be greeted with a stony stare and the stereotyped No, but III be brother to you she should blacklist that man.
