SLUMBER SONG.

Slumber, Ylumber, little one, now
The bird Is asleep In his nest on the bough.
The bird Is asleep, he has folded his wings,
And over him softly the dream fairy sings:
Lullaby, lullaby, lullabyl
Pearls in the deep,
Stars in the sky,
Dreams in our sleep.
So lullaby!
5lumber, sulnber little one! Soon
The fairy will come i'll the ship of the moon.
The fairy will come with the pearls and the
stars,
And dreams will come singing through shad.

Dreams in sleep.
So, lullaby!

HE SAVED THE BABIES.
But the Story Was Told In Two Wide!y
Different Ways.


Heroism and modesty proverbially go
hand in hand, but there are few more
striking examples of the combination
than that afforded by the captain of a
wrecking tug in New York harbor. His
own account Of the affair was thus set
down in the tugs log: "Jan. 3O-Left
Jersey City a. m. Ice running heavy.
Captain Joe stopped leak in ferryboat. !"
Mr. +. Hopkinson Smith, i'll his DAY at
Laguerre's,' tells the story more fully.
The Hoboken ferryboat was stopped,
midway of its early passage, by the ice
pack. AT this juncture an ocean tug
boat crashed into her side, cutting V
shaped cash below the water line. A
panic ensued among passengers and
crew. just then the wrecking tug Reli-
ance ran alongside, and Captain Joe
Smith jumped OH board.
He dropped into the engine room,
met the engineer half way up the lad
der, compelled him to return, dragged
the mattresses from the crews bunks,
stripped off blankets, racks of clothes,
overalls, cotton waste and rags of car
pet, examining them into the great rent
left by the tugs cutwater until the
space of each broken plank was replaced
except one. Through and over this
space the water still combed, deluging
the floors and smashing down between
the gratings into the hold below.
"Another mattress, quick! All gone?
A blanket, then - carpet-anything!
Quick. for Gods sake!''
1t was useless. Everything, even to
the oil rags, had been used. Little by
little the water gained, bursting out
below, then on one side, only to be re-
calked and only to rush in again.
Captain Joe stood moment as if un-
decided, then deliberately tore down
the top wall of calking he had so care
fully built up, and before the engineer
could protest had forced his own body
into the gap, with his arm outside,
level with the drifting ice.
An hour later the disabled ferry boat
was towed into the Hoboken slip with
every soul on board. When they lifted
Captain Joe from the wreck, he was un-
conscious and barely alive. The water
had frozen his blood, and the floating
ice had torn the flesh from his protrud-
ing arm from shoulder to wrist. When
the color began to creep back to his
cheeks, he opened his eyes and said to
the doctor who was winding the band
ages:
"Was any of them babies hurt?"

A Ranchman's Luck.

A story is told about panther that
was trapped by Luke Anderson, who
has small ranch in the Smut Greek
valley of the Big Horn mountains.
Smut creek is small stream about five
miles long, flowing through the ranch
from series of springs up among the
mountains. Near one of these springs
Luke set his trap, a big steel affair
weighing II pounds and usually used
for big bears.
Luke thought that panthers were
stealing his sheep, and that they lived
somewhere among the thickets about
the headwaters of the creek. He went
to the trap OH four successive days, but
found that nothing had disturbed it. He
skipped the fifth day.
On the sixth day, when he approached
the trap from down stream, he heard a
groaning sound and the rustling of
leaves. He peered over a rock at the
place he had set his trap.
The place had been disturbed sOme-
what. Every small bush within five
yards was torn up by the roots. A dead,
rotten log that had served as IL side Of
the trap pen was torn and scattered
about in fragments. The ground itself
had been ripped up and plowed clear to
the bed rock two feet beneath. No trap
or beast was i'll sight. Luke looked
about quickly. He could hear the groans,
and they sounded uncomfortably close.
On the far side of the rock behind
which he was Luke saw the tips of the
ears of an animal. Luke slid out of that
quickly. He backed away with rifle
cooked and made detour of several
rods. Then, to his surprise, he saw, not
one. but two panthers. One of the two
had its leg in the trap. The other was
beside it, licking down the trapped ones
neck tenderly, as an old cat licks kit
ten. The wounded one was groaning
Luke shot the untrapped one and then
killed the other. He found that the
trapped animal was male, with an
ugly face. The other was sleek coated
female.

Of 24,O00O00 tons Is hauled ut an average
