WATERSPOUTS
Hem in a Ship During a Fearful
Whirlyyind.

Hem in Ship During Il Fearful
WhirI,yind.
A thrilling story of adventure, as
unique as it was dangerous, was told
by Capt. Milburn, commanding the
British steamship Ferndene, which
arrived here several days ago from
Matanzas, says the Philadelphia
Press. At one time the vessel was
hemmed in by a large number of
waterspouts and all was wild alarm
on board.
Capt. Milburn says that he left
Matanzas May q and experienced,
until the monday observations on
the 25th, wonderful run.
On that day the weather was
somewhat cloudy, and.at 4:aO p. m.
the ship being in latitude 3432, lon
gitude 1910, the wind southwest, he
saw a large waterspout forming
from LOCO to 1,200 yards ahead of the
vessel. 1t travelled rapidly toward
the ship and her course was altered
quickly to avoid destruction. About
twenty minutes afterward the wat
y
Capt. Milburn noticed within fifty
yards of the ship the approach of a
whirlwind, travelling with great
speed. In it's path were upward of
$50 Mother Carey's chickens which
were lowering in the vicinity of the
ship since early morning, and they
We're caught up and whirled around
with tremendous fury until they
dropped lifeless into the sea.
The whirlwind struck the ship on
the port quarter, passing along the
side with frightfuI velocity. To
escape injury from being swept over
board before it Capt. Milburn and
all his men that were on deck
dropped fiat down. on their backs.
The boatswain, who was standing
amidships on the bridge, was lifted
bodily and hurled over a large set of
steps into the wheelhouse, where he
was found afterwards unconscious.
After the whirlwind had passed
fearing recurve, Capt. Milburn had
the helm put hard astarboard, but
as soon as the whirlwind had passed
waterspout formed, breaking 160
yards from the starboard bow. From
then until before dark several other
waterspouts passed in close proxin-
ity to the vessel, but soon the wind
veered to the westward and the voy-
age to Philadelphia was continued
without further incident

GEN.. J0HNsT0N's WATCH.
1t. Wns Bought From Federal
Soldier Who Fought at Shiloh.

s. r. Maclaren relates an interesting
story showing how articles which are
lost often return after many years,
says the Toledo Blade. He begins in
TINS manner: "One of the strangest
true stories l ever heard came to my
knowledge when l was down I'm Rich
mond few weeks ago. A Richmond
friend of mine started to tell me about
the strange experience OF a well-to-do
farmer and his wife from Peoria, H.,
who were seeing the sights in that
country at the time l was there. We
We're then in the depot waiting for a
train and the old couple came In, so
my friend left them to tell the story,
as we were to travel on the same train.
1t seems that while they walking
through the old capitol of the con-
federacy at Richmond they stopped
before the picture of Gen. Sydney
Johnston, the great Southern general
who lost his life in the battle of Shiloh.
The name was to be seen in large let
ters upon the frame, and the old gentle
man said: Why, wife, L do believe that's
the same name that is in the old watch
we have at home Over thirty years
ago three fellows from the town near
which the farmer lived enlisted in the
army and We're in the battle of Shiloh.
When they returned one of them had
watch he wished to dispose of for
cash. He said that he and one of his
companions had found the dead body
of Confederate officer, upon which
was a handsome sword and gold
watch. His companion took the sword
and he the watch.
The old farmer was one of the
directors of the bank which took the
ff.l, -
The man left the town, and the watch
laid there so long that finally the
farmer said he would pay the money
and take the watch. The name of
Sydney Johnston was engraved upon
it, but evidently the man did not read
the papers, or he would have known
the name. His ignorance will not be
wondered at when it is. known that he
was the victim Of a gold brick SWindle
recently.
THE farmer had thought of making
a. present of the watch to some hfstor-
ical society, but had put it off from
time to time, so he still had it in his
possession when he saw his picture
My friend overheard his remarks to
his wife, so he spoke to them, saying
that he was well acquainted with Fitz
Hugh Lee, relative of the widow of
Sydney Johnston. They seemed anx-
lous to meet Mr.. Lee, so he took them
to him, and they arranged to send the
watch to him with the understanding
that he was to present it to the widow
OF Sydney Johnston, who probably has
1t by this time, as the incident occurred
several weeks ago, and the old man
intended to express it Immediately
upon reaching home. He seemed de-
lighted at finding the owner, and when
asked if he wished any recompense, he
said: No, it would be the greatest
pleasure to him to present it to the
owners He would not even think of
such thing as accepting the $1OO
which he had given for it

AN ADVANCED HEN.
She Left Her Brood, But a Gobbler
Became Their PrOtectCr

She Left Her Brood, But a Gobbler
Became Their Protector.
Potwin place, the aristocratic SUBJ
urb of Topeka, Kan, whose beau
tiful streets, lovely homes and green
lawns charm the visitor, has an
additional attraction which Judge
]. T. Clark takes special pride in ex-
hibiting to his friends, says the ST.
Louis Republic. Last spring he
purchased a pair of fine bronze tur-
keys and placed them in the yard
with his other fowls. In due time the
female turkey had a nest full OF
eggs, while the "gobbler spent his
. time in strutting around and making
himself generally conspicuous, till
his mate began to set. For a few
days the poor gobbler, being left
alone, moped around the yard, the
very picture of loneliness.
About that time one of the hens
that had a small brood of chickens
partly reared concluded that they
were old enough to take care of
themselves, and left them. This
proved the disconsolate gobblers op-
portunity. He made up his mind to
adopt the abandoned brood, but the
trouble was to get the consent of
the little chicks; and he set about
the task with the most patient and
untiring persistency.
In the end his efforts were crowned
with the most complete success. The
chickens follow him as closely as if he
were their real mother, and he wanders
around with them all the day, making
cooling sort of a cluck, apparently
happy and devoted to their protection;
and at night they go to roost with him.
some on his back, or under his wings.
And even since the turkey has come
off with her brood, the gobbler still
continues his care and attention to
his adopted family.
1t would be just as easy, however, to
account for the eccentricities of Judge
.Clark'S gobbler as it would be to
fathom the peculiarities of a hen be-
longing to Charles Owsley, a farmer
who lives six miles east of Weir City
Owsley's hen has built complete nest
In the forks of an apple tree, ten feet
from the ground. The nest is com
posed of twigs, straw and pieces of
binding twine. Three weeks since she
commenced laying eggs and continued
business regularly until the nest was
robbed by bad boys. Nothing daunted,
Biddy continued to lay in her elevated
nest, which now contains several eggs.
Mr.. Owsley will not disturb her, but is
curious to see how she will handle her
brood when she matches out one. Ows-
ley says this is strictly a Kansas hen,
as none other would take such a new
departure.

READY MADE SERMONS.
Postal Authorities Unable to In
terfere With the Enterprise.

The postal authorities have been
asked to break up an industry which
has started in the city of Washington,
but after investigating the matter they
have been forced to acknowledge their
helplessnesS, says the Troy Times. The
new industry is no more nor less than
the business of furnishing literary pro-
ductions to those in need. The firm in
charge will for a money consideration
provide original essays, orations, etc.,
for school and college students. This
part of the business should be broken
up if it is possible to do so, as it inter-
feres seriously with the work of the
colleges and schools. But there is an
other important feature of the indus
try which might be permitted to con-
tinue. That is the supplying of speeches
TO statesmen whose constituents are
anxious to hear from them. These
statesmen are compelled to offer at
least one speech during every session
of congress which they have the good
fortune to attend in an official capacity,
and it is vastly better that they should
have speeches written for them than
attempt to write their own.
The business of furnishing ready
made sermons to clergymen disinclined
to write their own and willing to pay
for others productions has long been
carried on, and to a greater extent
perhaps in England than here 1t may
doubtless be objected that these trans
actions involve more or less of fraud.
Yet as a matter of fact are they not
reducing to simple commercial basis
a practice that is very general? Men
obtain information where they can and
use 1t as they wish. And why not? Is
1t not theirs when they get it? The
man who is clever enough to utilize the
knowledge which others possess, but do
not understand how to turn to ac-
count should not be condemned as a
Drain borrower. He is simply using
material that would otherwise be
ValuelesS. Vast stores of mineral
wealth may be beneath the soil, it's
owner unconscious of it's existence. A
wide-awake prospector comes. along,
detects the presence of the riches below
the surface, and obtaining possession
proceeds to develop it. Who deserves
the most credit-the man who originally
owned the mine and failed to uncover
its treasures. or the one who unsealed
the hidden veins and thus helped to in
crease the les sources of a nation?
knowledge, like wealth, serves no
useful purpose unless put into active
effort for the common good. 1t is
better for ministers to prepare their
own sermons, for statesmen to compose
their own speeches and for pupils to
write their own essays. But sometimes
it is a distinct public gain to have the
work done by those of reader minds.

aIADE A SUCCESSFUL APPEAL.
A Rain Storm Utilized by a Clergy
man to Garnet I'll Chnrch

Pastor H. C. Roberts, Of the Franklin
Street Baptist church, scored a finan-
cial victory at the conclusion of the
morning service yesterday, says the
Louisville Courier-Journal. All the
praise, however, is not due Pastor
Roberts, There was some evidence
too, that it was not mainly due to the
generosity Of the congregation. The
rain was the principal factor in secur-
| ing the result.
After singing the last hymn Rev. Mr.
Roberts stated that he had an interest
ing communication to make from the
Ladies Aid society of the church. That
society, he said, had decided that the
church needed a new carpet. Some of
| the men instantly seized their hats and
rose to a standing position, while a
number of the ladies nervously
clutched their juvenile charges. These
movements did not escape the watch
full eye of Pastor Roberts.
My friends, you can just sit down
again. said he. There's not the
slightest occasion to hurry 1t is rain
ing too hard to go out now.'' Then all
turned to look out the door, and those
who had risen sat down. They pre-
sented a picture of desperate resigna-
ton. The pastor wanted $3.50, and
! stated that $50 was provided for In
a.few minutes about $40 in subscriptions
was added to the $50, and there was a.
lull in the responses. I'VE cannot go
home yet. Dinner will keep, and I
must not endanger your health by
turning you out of comfortable house
| in to a pelting rain,'' he continued.
THE ladies say they must have the
| carpet. Who next?' Five or six dol
| lars was added.
Il told you the ladies said they must
have that carpet, and when a woman
talks that way she means it, and she
never fails to secure what she wants

been subscribed, and the >benediction.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
HOW EB JONES DISCOVERED :
& AZ ar..n THRhNTULH GULCH. E


.-"On the lower Hassayampa they're
liars from the state. But up above
they're honest men, leastwise they
are in part; an 1 give the story as
twas told, and leave for you to say
whether the yarn was sprung be-
low or come the other way"
Honest John.
Honest John Cooler, of Walnut
creek, va. apai county, told me a
story of how Eb Jones discovered
Tarantula gulch, and it is so inter-
esting that 1 reproduce it for the
benefit of the readers of the Herald.
1t is so startling that it may seem
improbable, but Honest John stands
behind it, and two siX-shooterS hang
onto him. Address him at Walnut
Greek for terms.
Me and Eb Jones was pards way
back in 70 Eb wasn't much on size,
but he had more grit and git up and
git than any pard l ever had. More
than that, he had twice the heft of
him in luck. His luck was simply
tremendous.
I'VE was prospectin' together on
purity fair layout on the upper Has
sayampa when the grub petered out.
We elected Eb to make forage on
the next station, and he bumped
himself accordin'.
The afternoon was so hot you
could fry beans on the bare sile in
the shade. and when he reached the
~ inht of hn
come him. He shed his buteS and
pants and lay where the water cud
trickle along his spinal column, and
he was dreamin' of his childhood s
days when he saw them pants goin'
over the bank with two kyOteS tied
to 'em. He gets up smart and puts
on his buteS, and made after them
kyotes. cussin' fit to make it rain.
The kyotes was onto him and put on
steam, and if the darned critters
had come to some nderstandin on
them pants he never cud haV over
hauled them, but each of 'em had a
leg Of pants in his jaw, and they
cudn't swap opinions without lettin'
out the pants.
Jest as Eb was concludin' to make
camp for a new outfit them kyotes
come to a tree and each of 'em
took the other side of it; consequent
ly the pants held 'em up till Eb got
on deck.
IF the critters had had sense enough
to pull back or let go they might have
got away, but they both wanted all the
pants on their de. Then they got the
idea that the tree was in the game for
the pot, and they slowed round and
tried to pull up the tree and take it
along with EN-. But the tree held on.
''Eb come up and shook in his boots
to see the fun, and the kyotes was so
set on getting the tree that they didn't
take no notice of him, and he laffed
and laffed so that he had to let his beit
out.
'Eb he figgers up about what he'll do,
and takin' piece of rope out of his
pocket he took their tails, which was
stiff as crowbars with rage, an tied
'em fast together.
when they realized what was up

a limb off the tree, and they started off
