creases, and as the sea gets higher and
higher, and the little boat pitches high
in the air and drops suddenly into the
hollow of the sea, the work gets harder
and slower. With the excitement the
time flies. There is plenty of time
they say. Why lose their lines and the
product of their toll? So they labor on
and on, and after hours of hard work,
catch, only to realize that the dcry is
overloaded, the sea very rough and
getting rougher. They must run for
their lives, and the burden of fish. for
which they have worked so hard, must
be thrown overheard. Who could Won

fame and cruel? But this is his life,

serious.
In summer there is the danger that
he may be enveloped in a heavy fog.
In winter he is liable to be caught in

make a run, they suppose, for their
vessel. After hours of hard pulling
they realize that they have been going
in the wrong direction, and, without
food or water in their tiny craft, are
lost upon the now tempestuOus sea.
In winter fishing the formation of ice
upon the vessels sides, decks and rig

Recently spent several weeks in the

if cyclone did come he calculated to
be on deck and see it out. He said it
was all very well for me to Skulk down
below, seeing as / was only a lands
man, but that he considered that the
quarter deck was the proper place for
him in bad weather. l made my cy
clone pit nearly opposite his house,
and close to the road, for 1 calculated
to use it as handy place for keeping
shovels and spades and rakes and such,
and saving the trouble of bringing
them up to the house. Captain Martin
used to Sneer a good deal at my pit,
and called it a glory hole which L
considered TO be irreligious, as well as
Gngentlemanly. However, the day
came when he would have been mighty
glad to have a cyclone pit, and to be
able to climb down into it without my
knowledge.
THE captain hadn't been living in
his new house above six months when
the great cyclone of 1887 came along,
and l don't doubt that you have heard
of it, Ii was about 10 o'clock of the
morning, and it was at least 20 de-
srees hotter than it is today, though
it was only the middle of June, in
stead of the middle of August. There
wasn't a breath of air stirring. and
the sky had a sort of greasy, coppery
lock, that made you feel sort OF suffo-

was making pretence of wedding my
onion bed, though 1 didn't make much
Roadway with it. l happened to turn
round, and there in the northwest was
a little patch of cloud, which l was
glad to see, thinking as l did that it
might perhaps mean rain. But While
l was looking at it l could see it was
spreading as fast as a gallon of pc
troleum would spread if you dumped
it into a millpond. In few minutes
pretty near one half the sky was COW
cred with a cloud that was as black
as Pittsburg coal smoke. The way it
spread reminded me of a parcel of men
laying a carpet on the stage of a
theatre. You could see the upper
edge of the cloud rolling over and
over in great thick masses. All of a
sudden a light breeze sprang up that

blew directly toward the quar-
ter where the cloud came from, and 1
knew then that we were going to have
big storm, and that the wind was
drawing towards it. The next thing
l sawwas a sort of funnel that seemed
to drop from the middle of the cloud.
The lower end kept twisting and
squirming like the tail of a snake

just dropped my hoe, and made a bolt
for my cyclone pit. There's no mis-
taking what that funnel meant. There

its way and it was coming straight
for me. | wasn't on speaking terms
with the captain then, but as l came
near his house, and saw him standing
on his veranda and lashing himself to
one of the posts with a rope, l sung
out to him to come with me if he val
ued his life. He only said, in a
mighty cool and condescending way, L

as THE SUN WENT DOWN.

Two soldiers lay on the battlefield
AT night when the sun went down,
One held a lock of thin gray hair
And one held a lock of brown.
One thought of his sweetheart back at
home,
Happy and young and gay,
Ard one of his mother left alone,
Feeble and old and gray.
Each in the thought that a woman cared,
Murmured prayer to God,
Lifting his gaze to the blue above,
There on the battle sod.
Each in the joy of woman's love
Smiled through the pain of death.
Murmured the sound of a woman's name.
Though with his parting breath.
Pale grew the dying lips of each,
Then. as the sun went down.
One kissed a lock of thin gray hair,
And one kissed a lock of brown

this part of the equipment of the Whate
House stables.
It was decided by the Mckinley house

sary. A cabriolet will be needed for dry
days and turns along the avenue

brougham would carry all the members

The brougham viii be done in green
morocco and satin. The cabriOlet will be
furnished in green morocco and cloth.
The landau will be the same as the
cabriolet, with little difference in the
quality of material.
All the trimmings are to be silver The
vehicles are to be fitted with rubber
tires, all the springs being especially
constructed to make the riding without
the suggestion of Jolt.

the horses will be bought. but there will

and they will probably be left at home.
1t has been customary for the White
House man to have long string of
horses. and there will certainly be need
for five or six to go with the new car
