Tricks of . ventriloquist.
steamship passengers frequently re-
sort to practical jokes to relieve the
monotony OF voyages said retired
sea captain to q San Francisco Post
reporter recently, land while the pranks
az a rule, are perfectly harmless. they
sometimes have a boomerang effect
Three years ago we were crossing the
Atlantic and both the owners and my
self were exceedingly anxious to make
q speedy trip, as q rival liner had the
week before lowered the record held by
our company. On the third day out.
Just about dusk, the cry of Man over
board! rang through the ship. and
hurried investigation elected the In
formation that several Of the passen'
gers had heard a splash, followed by
piteous appeals OF Help! help-save
mel The engines were stopped and the
steamer put about, close watch be-
Ing kept meanwhile for the drowning
man. A half hour was spent in cruis-
Ing about without results. and we start
ed on our journey under the belief that
the poor fellow had gone to the bot
tom. The inquiry that followed proved
puzzling. No one was missing, and we
came to the conclusion that stow
away had committed suicide. The next
day, however, an explanation came.
We had a ventriloquist aboard in the
person of very smart young man, who
was too tickled over the success of his
joke to keep the secret. Then the
laugh was on him. AS he had
caused q serious delay and much an
noyance | notified him that l had made
an official entrance of the circumstance
on my log and the loss of time, and
that on approaching shore l would de-
tain him until a sufficient guarantee
had been put up that he would answer
In court to reply to a demand for finan-
cial restitution. l talked of $4,000 be-

-"Perhaps you would not think
so, but a very large proportion of
diseases in New York comes from
carelessness about catching cold"
says DR.. Cyrus Edison. at is such
a simple thing and so common that
very few people, unless it is case
of pneumonia, pay any attention
to a cold. There are a great many
cases of catarrh and consumption
which have their origin in this
neglect of the simplest precaution
of every day life. The most SEN
sible advice is, when you have one,
get rid of it as soon as possible.
BY all means do not neglect it,"
DR.. Edison does not tell you how to
cure a cold, but he will. Take
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. 1t
