With the Five Fathom Lightship
close aboard and the low-lying sand
dunes Of the Jersey coast barely visible
from the topmast crosstrees, the big
hulking schooner Araminta r.. OF
Boothbay, Me-, lumber laden from the
South, was plunging and wallowing IN
the long and heavy ocean swell. Her
big sails slotted ut every roll and the
water gurgled up through the scupper
holes on either side as the tubby craft
performed her long and regular series
Of marine gymnastics.
There wasn't breath Of air stirring.
From an artists standpoint the morn
ing was artistically lovely. with the
glorious sun marching onward and up

whose brilliant splendor scarcely Il
cloud obscured. As the foaming wave
crests broke on the sluggish black top
sides of inert schooner there was a
golden shower Of spray, with prismattc
tints Of rare radiance rejecting the
beams of the sun. Not sail was in
sight. Away to the south the dense
cerned mounting upward like a pillar,
the stagnation Of the atmosphere pre-
serving Its funnel-like form.
have said that the beauty Of the
morning was such as to appeal to the
aesthetic sense of an artist, whose soul
would have been rapt in elysiuin while
gazing on the wondrous loneliness OF
sea and sky.
But the frugal, thrifty soul of Hah-
bakuk b. Dolliver. the skipper Of the
Araminta b., was slow to appreciate
Gods handiwork in air and water. He
was Tuning and fretting and cursing
the calm. He owned a few shares in
the vessel, on whose quarterback he
paced to and fro with pendulum-like
regularity. One of the old school OF
sailors was Uncle Habbakuk-a man
who frowned upon new-fangled no
tons, lit his pipe with flint and steel
wore gaff topsail hat, blow high, blow
low, and had his own notions on the
subject of economy.
He was long, lean and slab-sided. Hi
face was the color Of old teak wood and
he had the dearest pimple Of nose 70,
ever saw. For praying on dry land ant
swearing on salt water few could bea
him. He was a land saint and SET
devil. Not many sailors went NOR,
than one voyage with him. his peculiar
ways not being OF the kind to endeal
him to mariners.
While cursing the calm. he also fount
time to revile the mate and the cook
both OF whom were seafaring men, an,
thus ought to have been respected. l

'See here" responded old Rube. "Wot
We wants IL fair play and no favor. We
shipped as men and not dogs aboard
this starve-gutted packet, and II you
don't treat us as sich you will be done

Is good grub, for which we signed. This
here flesh would give a ostrich indiges-
ton, wOt can eat scupper nails for early
breakfast and grow plumes out of his
tail on SIGH diet. Come, now, skipper,
give us boys something to eat or per-
haps you may regret it."
The skipper, in a few words of pro-
fame import, consigned the crew to the
internal regions and went below. Mean
while the crew consulted. The mate
was taken into their confidence. He
said he could do nothing against seven
men and one boy, but asked to be
dashed to the spanker mast 20 that no
adverse report a. to his position could
be made to the shipowners.
Then out of the mind Of old Rube,
who in the lazarette of his intellect had
plenty of low cunning. there came an
ingenious idea.
Lets chuck the mud hook overheard
and anchor the packet until we gets q
good square meal. Nothing but chicken
chowder and plum duff win Ill me-"
No sooner said than done. The head
sails were dowsed and the anchor was
dropped.
The skipper realized what had hap
pened. He rushed ON deck and swore
at everything allow and aloft, especially
when he saw his mate dashed to the
| mast.
"See here, you mutinous dogs, do you
know what l could do with you? ]
could hang you from the yardarm"-
"YOu could what? You chuckle
headed chump, where is your yardarm
This Is a schooner and not a square

This interruption was from old Rube
whose dander was in lofty attitudes.

Twenty-four hours later, when a fai
wind sprang up, the skipper CONCLUDED
to surrender.

When the chickens were cooked ant

and told him that the crew hal strength

was made to port.

rruths Told In . Few Words.

Truths Told In . Few Words.
A child's respect for its parent Is not
secured by over-leniency any more than
by Over-severity.
A daughter should never seek nor be
allowed to '0utdress" her mother. In
every family the mother should be the
best-dressed member.
The discarded hnery Of daughter
should never constitute mothers
wardrobe. No one feels especially dig
nified In the presence Of one whose old
clothes she Is wearing, and q mother
should Mt all times preserve her dignity
before her children. The mother who
never loses her queenliness will never
lose her crown.
Preventable misfortunes consist,
chiefly. OF manifold things. little to do.
but immense things to have done.
The man who earns one dollar and
spends two, and the man who earnA
two and spends one. stands ON either
side Of the hair-llne between Needless
ness and discretion. between ruin and
safety.
Parents generally receive that meas
ure of nlial respect they deserve-not
always, perhaps, but very generally.
When q mother allows her daughter
to appropriate her wraps, gloves. wells.
or other articles Of personal attire. she
begins q policy Of familiarity which.
sooner or later breeds contempt. A re-
spect for ones belongings engenders q
respect for their possess0r.-La
