AN HISTORIC STEAMER.
It Has Had a Remarkable Career ON
the Hudson River.

4 fu5 Ii al h mafkaDIe AaTeef ON
the Hudson River.
The steamer Drew left Albany on her
last trip Saturday night amid the shrek
ing of tugs and steamers. If the noisy
demonstration was not SO great as that
which heralded its first arrival II Is be-
cause not so many vessels ply the
waters of the Hudson at Albany as
there did thirty years ago. Then the
river front of Albany was lively and
bustling. Now but for the tugs Of the
Roman line, the New York and New
burg boats, and the few steamers that
carry freight and passengers to nearby
points. the waters Of the river would
be unveXed by pa assing craft.
1t is the day of the railroad, but,
while wind and water hold, the pleas
ure and profit OF marine adventure
will never lose their charm. And so,
though we speed the departing Drew,
the coming Adirondack Is cordially vel
coined. II at tho end of the first quar-
ter OF the twentieth century the boat
which comes so gay In bunting and
cleaning paint, so endowed with all
that makes marine architecture Of this
time wonderful and complete-if, we
say. this boat, then grown old and ont
of date, is retired with a record as hon
orable as that which the Drew takes
with it in retirement. its owners will
have reason to congratulate them
selves. FoS the Drew's history Is one
of great distinction and honor.
This nota bic steamer has been com
manded by Stephen ]. Roe, now trans
ferred to the Adirondack, from the
day it went into commission. II its
saloons and cabins could talk what a
history they would tell; for, in It's time,
the Drew carried as passengers nearly
every person 0f prominence ON this
side of the Atlantic. and travellers
from the old world were bouad TO have

boats on the Mississippi, when travel
on that river was at its height, were to
be mentioned In the same breath. The
Hudson River steamers confessedly led
all lines of inland travel until Colonel
James Fisk. Jr., took charge Of the
Fall River line OF steamers. That
marked the beginning Of another era

Euu for the PrOfessor

The late Prof. w. III. Harrison. who
for many years was at the head of a
popular boys school In Amelia County
Virginia, was much loved and respect
ed by his many pupils. and had a rare
faculty for managing them. He was
MT forever nagging us. but, as some of
us learned by experience, he let the
punishment fit the crime" So said one
OF his former pupils. now a prominent
lawyer in Richmond; and then he re-
lated the following story:
The professor was accustomed to
take drive every sunny afternoon in a
heavy, old-rashioned coach drawn by
a large gray horse. One day, shortly
after he had returned from his drive,
half a dozen Of the boys espied the
coach standing In the driveway. where
it had been left temporarily. and were
seized with the idea that it would be
great sport to secrete4t
Chuckling softly among themselves.
they stole near to make sure that the
colored driver was busted with the
horses inside the stable. Then they
took hold of the thrills, three on one
side and three on the other. and drew
the coach out Of the grounds and down
a long hill into pine grove.
won't the old Goat be puzzled to
know where his coach isr" said one fel-
low, with laugh. In which the others
joined.
"Old Goat" was a term of affection
ate familiarity which the boys applied
to the professor behind his back. and
which really savored nothing of disre-
spect.
The roguish youths INDUCED in jokes
aud merriment as they tugged the
coach into a position out of which it
would be difficult to remove il. This
they had Just accomplished when. To
their CONSERVATION. Professor Harri-
son put his head out of the coach win
dow, his eyes twinkling. and said, ia
his dignified, slow way:
We'll, boys, you've had the fun al
hauling me down here. and now | must
request you to haul me back again"
Smiles iied. faces grew long. and ths
boys stood aghast
"All-right-sir." stammered one.
The professor settled back on the
cushions. resumed the book which lac

Glddness Comes

MIith q better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only. and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
II afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sliillful
physicians, but If in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede edeverywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction.
