That, of all known agents to accom-

SPEED VERSUS SAFETY.
A Sea Captain Tells How and Why He
Must Make Quick Time.

A Sea Captain Tells How and why He
Must Make Quick Time.
A passenger on one of the European
liners made jocose remark to the cap
tain one night as they were chatting
familiarly on deck.
"You sea captains, he said, "are
the only absolute sovereigns now left in
the world. When the ship leaves port,
your will is law. Every one on board
recognizes your supreme authority.
From your decisions there are no ap-
peals. Every life is in your keeping.
You are sea kings indeed"
NO. we are bondmen Of the COM
pany managers, was the bluff old cap
tain's reply. "We are under obliga-
tions to make fast runs, yet never to
take any risks. 1t is no longer possible
exercise discretion.
"Why, on my last run across the At
lantic," he continued, rapidly warming
up, IT had bad weather nearly all the
way. When the wind was not blowing
a gale, there was dense fog, and didn't
dare to run at full speed. The ship was
80 hours behind time in reaching New
York. "
The captain and the passenger were
intimate friends and talked without re-
straint.
II went to the main Office" the cap
tain continued, ''and was received cold
ly by the manager. He told me that
had made very poor run. / tried to
explain how bad the weather had been,
but he listened impatiently. He re-
minded me that other ships leaving
England ON the same day had arrived
much earlier, although they must have
had similar weather. He said that the
day for cautious, old fashioned captains
had gone by. The reputation of ship
for speed must be maintained, and cap.
tains must be brisk and wide awake, or
thsir usefulness would be at an end
"You may have noticed, the captain
added after pause, "that we have been
running at full speed all day In heavy
fog. Your king has been profting by
the reprimand which he received, and
he hasn't known comfortable moment
until the fog lifted an hour ago.
$50 you sec that the kings Of the sea
are the managers bondmen. II they
are cautious and avoid risks, they are
considered sleepy and slow. II they arc
yenturesOme and the ship goes wrong,
then thoy are condemned as foolhRrdy,
That's the tyranny Of the sea, even IN
we are kings on deck, "--Philadelphia

CONTRARY TO The CONSTITUTION
How 1t Has Been Fastened
on Newspaper.

Va SAOAOSs
In the far west not much
respect is paid to titles.
Neally every man is a "Col-
onel." or an Honorable"
1t is so little thought of
that many men prefer to be
called plain John Smith, Til
Ford, 10 Simon.
But titles are sometimes con-
ferred by accident, and become
a really good handle to catch
hold of. In that case the peo-
pie catch on and use the handle
right freely aid properly.
A CURIOUS CASE.
A stack of letters is received
at this Office in every mail and
while many of them are printed
in large letters "The One Cent
Daily, Salem Oregon, a great
many are written and there is a
great variety of ways of writ
ing it. Here are some of the
forms:

"THE ONE CENT DAILY, Sa-

"THE ONE CENT DAILY JOUR

"THE GREAT ONE CENT

"THE HONORABLE ONE CENT

That's o queer title for a
newspaper to get isn't it?
About the last on earth, any
one would think of !

poraries.

The magnet plays the most unexpected

game sells for trifle, is amusing, and
for these combined reasons very popu-

A clever Frenchman has invented a
new game, which, on account of it's po-

the "Franco-Russian alliance" and it
has had a truly phenomenal sale. It
consists of a triangular piece of very
strong pasteboard, having a half an
inch high rim about the edge. In the
middle of this triangle is also triangu-

tween the edge and this piece of glass

CHAPTER XXI
EOHE.
Deep in a wooded recess on the banks
of the Derwent. in merry old England,
lies the little village of Hetherton,
slumbering in the MONDAY sun as it
did when we saw it last twenty years
ago.
Can you not see it? A broad common,
yellow with buttercups, few farm
houses, an ivy-clad parsonage, an an
cient Norman church. a dozen resi-
dences of small gentility, a street with
quaint shops, bow windows with dia-
mond panes, a ruined monastery, a
Saxon stone cross and the Bulls Head
inn with its big swinging sign, and you
have the whole scene before you.
There is hustle to-day about this old
hostelry, for there have arrived a young
couple from far-off America, whose adj
vent has set every tongue a-wagging.
This is reversing Rip Van Wrinkles
slumber and waking up hundreds of
years ago" says the young gentleman,
glancing around with honest admira-
ton at the old-fashioned room with it's
oaken panels, waxed floor, and an
tique furniture. but two weeks ago,
Elsie, we were in the New World and
now"
1--WE are in the Old-oh, doesn't it
seem like dream, FRANKIE"
'Whaea well-groomed country" Grey
cried, going to the window and gazing
with all the ecstasy of an American on
his first sight of rural England. Zone
would think they combed the grass and
brushed the trees"
But her voice with more enthusiasm
burst forth in perfect song of delight:
''To me it is a vision of Paradise tinged
with the hallowed essence of home"
Then GregSon came and spoiled the
picture. He had travelled in hot haste
from London to meet them at this rem
devious, and was, if possible, more OBJ
jectionable in dress and manner than
ever.
Elsie will never forget that little drive
to Scarsdale Abbey. She used to de-
clare that in that short half-mile she
had at least a dozen originals of the
daintiest Uignettes that ever graced the
pages of the English poets own paint
ing.
Atlength the park gates were reached
and the carriage swept up the broad
drive under the elms. startling the deer,
and when the old Elizabethan house
rose to view, the enchanted girl could
not repress cry of pure delight.
Servants met the carriage as it dashed
under the broad portico and obey were
ushered into a drawing-room, there to
await the pleasure of the old man at
whose request they had journeyed so
far over land and sea.
Nor was their patience tried, for ere
long an old servitOr entered and re-
