oooLLY LIGHTED HIS CIGAR.

A Sea Captains Act Which Probably
Saved the Lives of His Passengers.
A good story is told of sea captain
who died not long ago and who was
formerly in command Of a ship in
which passengers were carried from
London to Lisbon. On one occasion the
ship caught fire and the passengers and
crew were compelled to take hurriedly
to the boats. The captain remained
perfectly cool throughout all the con-
fusion and fright of the debarkment,
and at last every one except himself
was got safely into the boats. BY the
time he was ready to follow, the pas
sengers were almost wild with fear and
excitement. Instead of hurrying down
the ladder the captain called out to the
sailors to hold on a minute, and, TAX
ing cigar from his pocket, coolly
lighted it with bit Of burning rope
which had fallen from the rigging at
his feet. Then he descended with de-
liberation and gave the order to push
off.
"How could you stop to light a cigar
at such moment?' he was asked af-
terward, when some Of the passengers
were talking over their escape.
Because" he answered, Il saw that
if did not do something to divert the
minds of those in the boat there was
likely to be a panic, and, overcrowded
as it was, there was danger Of the boat
being upset. The act took but mo-
ment, but it attracted the attention Of
everybody. 1 was not nearly so un-
concerned as I seemed to be, but was
in reality in fever of excitement. My
little plan succeeded. You all forgot
yourselves because you were thinking
about my curious behavior, and we got
off safely"

VILLAGE.
Tho villagers Excited Over the In
creased Health and Vigor of tho
Older InhabItants--Tho Exper-
Ience OF Two "Vets."

(From the World Herald, Omaha, Neb)
A World-Herald reporter was attract
ed by the evidence OF renewed activity
OF some Of the older inhabitants OF the
village Of Bruce, a suburb OF Omaha,
Neb., and enquired the cause. Mr.. An
drew Finkenkeler, who was member OF
Company b of the First Iowa Volun-
teers during the war, made the follow
ing explanation so far as he himself Is
concerned.
I'm Juy 1866, while my company was
on the march through to Austin, Tex,
was attacked with rheumatism OF the
worst kind in one leg at Alexander, La.
Being weak l was sunstruck and re-
manned unconscious for several hours.
Every summer since 1 have been una
BILE to stand the heat OF the sun, and
have been compelled to give up my
work There was in my head a bearing
down feeling which increased until II
seemed my head would burst and 1t
caused a ringing in my ears, and palpi-
tation of the heart set in, so that the
slightest noise would set my heart
humping, Several times 1t has rem
dered me unconscious for from seven
to ten hours at a time. In addition TO
this the rheumatism extended up my
entire side until II drew my head down
on my shoulder. lost my strength and
flesh and was totally unfit for work
For twenty-eight years have con-
suited physicians and taken their pre-
scriptions without deriving any mate
rial benefit, My ailments increased In
intensity until was assured that there
was no hope for me.
"In November last read in the
World-H eraN a case Of a man who had
been entirely cured from the ailments
from which 1 was suffering, by the use
Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. On November 2S purchased
box. In a week felt better than
I had for six months past. The ring
ing in my ears began to lessen IN
volume and finally left me. The
pain form the rheumatism gradually
left me, so that within one week from
the time took my first pill was able
to sit up in bed. On January was
able to go out and walk around little.
On February was so thorough
ly cured that I accepted position
as night Waterman in the Forest Lawn
Cemetery, remaining out Of doors from
p. M until a. m. have gained in
weight from 144 pounds which weighed

meeting, while the ranks Of the com
petltors were richly recruited from the
best runners that had taken part In the
oxford and Cambridge sports, says the
London Times. The result was that the
Cambridge men played a very big part
in the meeting. The secret Of Fitzher-
bert's success in the quarter might be
traced to the way which his fellow
blue" Koran took Bredin along In the
half-mile at the beginning Of the after
noon, while Lutyens, the Cambride
miller, made Bacon run right out in the
mile, and the severity Of this fight, no
