He reports that the schooner could not
have fioatcd more THAN q few hours
longer and that her boats would have
sccF been swamped If the fishermen had
succeedud in launching them.
The rescue OF the crew OF the Vague

of the night. The sea was running very
high a't the time and the sky Is de-

Missouri Advice to a Poet.

1t was some years ago that AlSernon
Charles Swinburne, in a mournful voice
addressed US the query, 'What shall be
done with all these tears of ours?' We
have been very busy since then, and it
is very possible that Algernon has dis
posed of his stock and doesn' t now need
our advice, but we are sorry for him
and will give it anyway. We would
say, in the first place, Algernon, that
the prudent thing to do, if you see no
market for your product, is to cease pro-
ducing; that is the doctrine that we are
now teaching at our agricultural school
in Kansas
But we have also a suggestion better
than that. 1t is that if you can manage
to weep fresh tears, which you ought to
be able to do after little practice, you
come out to the arid region and go into
the irrigation business. Even a salt
lake would be acceptable during dry
weather, and you might recover some
sections with that sort of tear, but the
great thought we throw out to you is,
either weep fresh tears or quit the bust
ness. kansas City Times

Why He Wasn't Invited.

Arthur T. Clark last spring purchased
seaside cottage at Bay Ridge, NJ Y.
Bay Ridge has yacht club, and as it
costs pretty heavily to rent yacht for
a private sail somebody suggested to
Clark that he would better join the
club so that he would be invited to go
out with those who owned their own
yachts
This seemed to be a good idea, and
Clark S name was soon enrolled as a
member of the club. He was informed
that he would be expected to purchase
a yachting cap and wear it as the in
sigma of his membership. Mrs. Clark
accompanied her spouse to hat store
to help him pick out his yachting head
gear, He selected one with blue band,
on which an anchor was embroidered in
gold lace. Mrs Clark thought two
anchors would look much prettier, and
so Arthur like dutiful husband, yield
ed to her better judgment and bought
cap with a double anchor.
Day after day he wore that cap, but
no one invited him to go sailing. Every
body else seemed to be invited out, but
that cap apparently acted as a hoodoo,
and its wearer was compelled to sniff
the sea breezes from the land. Finally
one afternoon a regatta race was ar
ranged, and it was desired that all
available yachts should start. Clark
was urged to bring out his yacht with
the rest.
"Why, bless your heart, he protest
ed, 81 have no yacht.
WHAT" cried several club members
in chorus. "No yacht? Then what are
you doing with that cap?"
why, ism t the cap all right?" STAN
mered its wearer.
"Yes-but how about the double
anchor?''
Mrs. Clark thought two looked pref
tier than one. Does it make any differ
ence? What do the blamed anchors
mean, anyhow"
1.-TWO anchors, " they said, indicate
that you own yacht, and one that you
are a member entitled to sail free on
the clubs yachts. &"
Mr. Clark still thinks that there is
no discount ON his wife's taste in mat
tiers of dress, but he now buys whatever
he wears. -Chicago Times Herald.
