the City of Holland had struck the
wreck of the Chicora. Marine men are
inclined to be rather skeptical, how

northwest gale, she would have been
safe under the lee Of the shore.

Why Is II, | wonder that we come
into the world SO i'll equipped for it's
exploration? 1t seems TO me, as / look
back upon my youth, writes II. II.
Boyesen, in Lippincott's Magazine,
that, in certain way, my senses were
fresher and keener then than they are
now. And yet they were continually
particularly In the matter Of girls
play the most unwarrantable pranka
on me. Some alien fluid. of an intense
and fiery kind, got mixed with them and
made them subject to all sorts of unac-
countable alterations. 1t Is a notorious
fact that an electric current will make
the most excellent compass behave In
an irresponsible fashion. And yet,
though the disturbing fluid which made
my compass worthless was nearly always
there 1t has guided me, somehow, with
tolerable safety a long distance across
the trackless main. And | am not by
any means sure that | would exchange
It for truer instrument, subject to
fewer alterations. For | take this
very sensitiveness TO electric influences
to be a proof of it's exceeding fineness
and excellence. Life would be horri-
bly, dreary affair IL these magnetic cur
rents which make the needle tremble
and swerve were banished or non-ex-
istent. The dull, dead, stupid sanity
which has no sympathy with folly and
no CLEAN of potential madness Is, no
doubt, a stanch and relia BILE rudder,
but l cannot forbear questioning
whether TO the soul thus equipped the
voyage Is worth making. Ulysses Of
old, middle-aged though he was. had to
stuff his ears with wax lest he steer his
ship into the jaws of perdition when
the sirens sang SO deliciously, and he
did not exactly cover himself with
glory during his visits to Gree and
Calypso. But what very red blood he
had and how humanity his heart beat in
every one of his manifold adventures
He never, like his shipmates, became a
swain; and how noble and manly was
his bearing In the presence of the love-
ly Nausikaa!
There is something almost touching
to me in seeing the same sentiment
which stirs my own bosom recorded
thousands Of years ago. And, truth to
tell, the man whose pulse is subject to
no irregularities and whose Judgment
registers no alterations In the pres
ence of a beautiful woman is, in nv
opinion, ''ft for treasons, strata gems
and spoils."

Lake Cora.

The fishing fever is a, little intermt-

have been brought in; one Al 10. bass

The regular hop Saturday evening
was attended by many of the campers
around the lake, who came by invita-

Mr. Waters and DR.. Conant took a
bicycle trip To Paw Paw Lake recently.
Their cyclometers showed the distance
to be just seventeen miles. They re-
ported the lake as very beautiful, but
the Accommodations for boarders as un-

there is fine opening for first-class
hotel.
The great event of the week has been

boats for going out on the lake. Two
wagons with hayracks and two. seated

livened by song and laughter, and a
race with the horses at gallOp when
the second wagon tried tn pass the first.
Each had urged its horses to the ut

only in covering itself with the cloud
of dust from the first.

HAPPY JACK, The COwoOr.

veiver In His Work On the Pis,ns.
"Happy Jack. the Colorado cowboy,
was Kentuckian by BIRTH said the
amateur ranch man. "Kentuckys soma
In the far west are typically very tall
men, good tempered, and of indomit-
able courage. and Happy Jack was no
exception. Many were the stories told
about the ranches of his great strength,
devil-may -carecourage and quaint say
ings. He was of great height and
breadth OF shoulder, thin, sinewy and
active, with pluck equal to every emer-
gency and that cheerful temperament
which found occasion for mirthfulness
in every situation of life and had given
him his beatific name among his fell
lows. | first met him at the Horse
Creek ranch, where one night late in
autumn he stopped with his fellows.
They had come up from the south with
herd of beef cattle which were put
into one of the corrals over night while
their cavalcade was turned out into the
horse pasture.
"Happy Jack was up next morning
earliest of all, and, while the rest Of
the boys were going to breakfast, he
had saddled his gray horse, a vicious
creature, as 'spready' and as active as
his master, and having led 1t TO the
front Of the ranch house was about to
mount. The morning was cold and
frosty, and Jack wore over his regula-
ton cowboy equipment an old army
overcoat.
"'Think he'll buck this morning,
Jack?' said one of the cowboys from the
veranda.
well Jack drawled, Il reckon he'll
do about as he's a mind to, and he's
generally got a mind to buck
HE settled into the saddle, the horse
went up into the air, and for the first
hundred yards his progress was a zig
gag pitching fore and aft like a wherry
among the breakers. He used every
broncho trick to throw off his rider,
who, with the cape of the old soldiers
overcoat Tapping mp TO meet the brim
of the broad sombrero showed an absO-
lutte unconcern as to what performance
the horse might take into his head to
try. The horse at last discovered that
bucking was useless and wearisome,
and Happy Jack was soon down in the
pasture rounding up the horses. He
had got them together and driven
them back to the ranch building before
the other boys had eaten their break
fast. That was the kind of worker
Happy Jack was.
Everything that Happy Jack did or
said was done laughingly. He carried
no revolver, but as he adjusted his
saddle equipments before starting
away from the ranch | saw that among
the things carefully slowed away In his
cantinas or saddle bags. was long
knife with a shining blade foot long,
and what that hints at when seen in q
Kentuckians outfit everybody knows.
Happy Jack was philosopher who
was prepared equally for peace or for
trOu bile "
