Senator Y. G. Platt and Repre-
sentative John Fl. Ketcham, of
New York, we're holding a little
conference in one Of the dark
corners of the Senate marble
room recently. MI. Ketcham is
very deaf.
"Did you ever hear the story
they tell on Ketcham and one Of
his constituents?' remarked Il
man who was waiting to engage
the ear of the junior New York
Senator. "No? Strange. Thought
everybody had heard that,
Ketcham was coming along the
corridor one day. | don't re-
member just the day or the hour,
but, perhaps, that doesn't mat
ter. Mr.. Ketcham was engaged
in deep thought-he generally is
when he takes q stroll in the pub
lie corridors, where he is liable
to encounter any of his constitu-
ents. But that does't matter,
either. A constituent stepped
up and hold cut his hand. Mr..
Ketcham took it.
"How are you?' he said.
"After a few words had been
exchanged the man braced up
and said:
"Mr. Ketcham, can you lend
me S5?'
"Hey what? What did you
say?' said Ketcham.
WCan you lend me $10?'
"Ten dollars! Why, you only
asked for five. ~

The opposition to the re-elec-
ton of Senator Eugene Hale i'll
Maine on account Of his opposi-
ton to expansion and his general
un-American attitude on most
important matters for the past
year or more is believed to be
serious-much more SO than Hale
himself imagines. The opinion
expressed by Maine people in
New York recently was that
Hale was going to have a mighty
hard time securing a reelection.
The opposition to him has been
at work quietly for some time,
and has obtained, it is said, a
great deal of headway. The de-
feat of Senator Hale would be an
appropriate aftermath to the end

ROPE END VALUE.
Ship May Flint Offered a Tow on
Il Calm Day

The Seaboard relates a curious Incl
dent with regard TO the iron vessel May
Flint, well known here by a visit to
Honolulu and said to be the largest
sailing ship that ever entered the port
Of San Francisco. She is 361 feet long,
43 feet beam, % feet in depth, has a re-
gistered tonnage of 3,2S7 tons, and was
carrying at the time Of the occurrence
referred to 1920 tons Of coal, which
brought her down in the water % feet
Her commanded, Captain E. D. P.
Nichels, reports that during a recent
voyage his ship encountered head
winds and usual rough weather near
Cape Horn, losing her three topgallant
masts, three topsaiI yards and a num-
Der of sails, which were blown away.
The passage from the equator was
quite uneventful until the ship arrived
off the port of San Francisco. The
wind failing, the vessel drifted north
W bOuSSo I1eouS. captain -NlShCIS
tried to work her around the point into
Bodega Bay, but was unable to manage
the great becalmed ship. So he let go
the starboard anchor about half a mile
from the beach. The wind was SO light
that the anchor held the ship. though
she had only about nine fathoms Of
water under her stern. Al this point
the steamer Alice Blanchard came
along, and seeing the great ship in
such a dangerous position, offered to
tow her off for $4,000. Such a sum for
throwing a hawser TO the bow of a
drifting ship on a calm day was & mo-
dest demand, to say the least of it.
The demand then fell suddenly to
$4,000. Captain Nickels offered $3.50 for
the end of a tow rope. but the steamer,
blowing her whistle as a salute, passed
on.

A Square Transaction

You ray 1Or WlaC you OeC anu
Get what you pay for.
If you are going to the Pacific
Coast why nor combine the cheapest
with the best? There is only one
such route and that is the Soo-P aci-
fic, running from St. Paul and Mimi
eapolis.
It is the best because it is the
smoothest, best ballasted and safest
tracks, the finest tourists sleepers and
the grandest scenery. 1t is the cheap
est because it is the only road selling
tickets from St. Paul or Minneapolis
to Vancouver, Victoria, Seated or
Tacoma for the flat sum of $1,000,
and the only road selling tickets from
St. Paul or Minneapolis to Portland
or San Francisco for $500.
Other roads do the business bv the
hocus pocus of a rebate. That is
they charge you more money and
promise to pay part of it back if you
are good and do certain things. Or
in other words they borrow your
money and promise to return it if
you comply with what is nominated
in the bond.
With the 500 you simply paw the
lowest attainable price for ticket
and do no more. It's plain and
simple proposition.
Some roads will not sell tickets
over the 500 because it is square.
If your local agent will not, call on
or write to W. r. GALWAY,
General Passenger and ticket Agent,
