Such crowding, laughing. talking. and

we gained place on the crowded boat.
The whistle blew. the plank was drawn
up and away we started just as the
band began to play that old familiar
song Sailing following it with My
Old Kentucky Home far Away How
beautiful 1t sounded. When we first saw
Tacoma our eyes danced, and many
shouts came from the threats of those on
board. AT last we were all landed and
started away peli-mell for the Fair
Grounds. Oh. the lovely things We saw.
No matter which way we looked our
eyes were not large enough TO take Ii
all in. We walked and walked and
hooked and looked until il seemed as

IN our eyes they were SO tired. How
good II was of the p /. to give US all
such q grand day of pleasure. 1t Is a
kindness that will never be forgotten by
those who took part in it. Let us all

Fifty years ago Rev. John r. Damon.
OK this city. was . compositor on the
Boston Herald. At that time IL was q
very small institution compared to
what It ID at present. but that makes
no difference with this story. Mr.. Da-
mon had just picked UP copy OF the
Sunday edition Of the Boston Herald
yesterday afternoon and was running
his eyes down the columns when he
suddenly burst ont laughing.
What amuses you so?' asked q
Post-Inteliigencer reporter.
well we'll. said Mr.. Damon, sjust
think OF 1t. Look at this paper now
and think OF me being a compositor in
its employ fifty yeers ago. There was
one iscfdept connected with my work
there That's always remember and
laugh every time I think Of II. b. p
Shiliaber. who is now known In all
parts-of the country under the noan de
plume of Mrs. Parfington.' was then
Just coming before the public He
would write out O batch OF his Jokes
and bring them into the composing
room every evening between and s
O'Clock He would read them over to
us. and II we laughed they were sure
to appear In the Boston Post the next
morning; otherwise nothing was heard
OF them. Well this went all right for
time. and Shdllaber was having a
good time experimenting with his
wares on US. Finally one night we
decided to put up q joke on HIM The
next night he came In as usual and
read his budget Every man In the
room kept on sticking type, and acted
as IL his jokes were failures. He did
not say anything. hut went out slightly
crestfalien. The next morning there
was nothing in the Post. and we had q
laugh at the way we had fooled him.
Just as We expected, he came In the
next night with q new batch OF say
ings and read them In en- expectanx
manner. Not q man In the office
smiled. and poor Shsik5er sat down IN
a chair as crestfallen man as you
ever saw. I could hardly keep my
mirth under cover. yet 1 felt sorry to
see him SO disconsolate and blue. He
did not give up. however, but appured
at his usual hour the following night.
and commenced to experiment on us
with an entirely new lot OF compost
tons At aast he read one that was
awfuily funny. / tried to keep up
the farce. but the saying he had read
was so cleyerly put and had such a
sharp point that L just broke down.
completely and laughed until the tears
rolled down my cheeks. Or course. as
soon as gave way the others around
me did the same, and there stood Shil-
iaber. paper In hand, patiently waiting
Tor the commotion to subside. All of a
sudden he see1Eed to see through the
joke we had been perpetrating on him,
and. springing to his feet, said:
I will. get even with YOU fellows
for this
With that he rushed out Of the room
and the first thing we knsw he pub
hshed in the Post every joke we had
refused to laugh at"
