piece in the shape of these abominable fancies.
 But though I was so terrified by he idea of the seafaring man with one leg, l was far less afraid of tEe captain him self than anybody else who knew h4m. There were nights when he took deal more rum ard water than his head would carry; ard then he would some times sit and sing his wicked, old, wild
 sea songs, E.iEdJrg nobody; but so11e-
 times he would call for @iasses round. and, force all the trembling coInpany to .iston 10 his stories CT bear q chorus to his singing Often I have heard the house shaking with "Yc-ho-ho, and n bottle Of Iu1n;" all the neighbors join ing in for dear life, with the fear of death upon them, and each singing louder than the other, to avoid remark For in these fits he was the most over riding companion ever known; he would slap his hand on he table fer si- lence al! round; lle would fly up in q pas sion of anger at question, CT some times because noEe was put and so he judged the company was not following his story. Nor would he allow anyone to leave the inn till he had drunk him self sleepy and rcclCl off to bed.
 His stories were what frightened peo- pie worst Of all. Dreadful stories they were; about hanging, and walking the plank. and storms at sea, and the Dry Tortugas. and wild deeds and places on the Spanish main. By his own account, he must have lived his life among scme of the wiclcdest men that God ever al- lowed upon the sea; and the language in which he told these stories shocked our plain country people almost as much as the crimes that he described. My father was always saying the inn would be ruined, for people would soon cease coming there to Ee tyr3nnized over and put down, and sent skiyering to their beds; but I really believe his presence did us good. People were frightened at the time, but on looking back they rather liked it; it vas fine excitement in q quiet country life; and there was even party Of the younger men who prCtcnded 10 admire him, call ing hiIn a true sca-dog," and real old salt.' and such like names, and say ing there was the sort of man that made England terrible at sea.
 In one way. indeed. he bade fair to ruin us; for he kept on staying week after week, and at last month after month, so that all the money had been long exhausted. and stil! my father never plucl2ed mp the heart to insist on having more. Ii ever he mentioned it. the captain blew through his nose so loudly that you might say he roared, and stared my poor father out of the room. I have seen him wringing his hands after such a rcbuff, and am sure the annoyance and the terror he lived in must have greatly hastened his early and unhappy death.
 All the time he lived with us the cap tain made no change whatever in his dress but to buy some stockings from q hawloer. One of the cocks of his hat having fallen down, he let it hang from that day forth, though it was a great

THE ALAsAN BOUNDARY.
Before a Subcommittee of
 the Joint Commission.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The Canadian joint high commission held it's usual brief morning session today and was followed by the sub-committee on the Alaskan boundary, which held a long meeting and examined several expert ts. Prof. King, the Canadian astronomer, and one of his assistants appeared for the Canadian side, while the Ameri- cans called in Prof. Pritchard, chief of the coast and ge0detic survey, and Mir. John McGrath, one of the coast survey tOpographers, who spent sev- eral years in work along the Alaskan boundary in the neighboThocd Of Mount St. Elias All of the survey men had formidable rolls of maps and charts, with large stacks of note books in which the result of their field work had been embodied.
 This section of the commissions work is one where the evidence is of such a tangible character that it is thought there will be little difficulty in arriving at an equitable settlement, al though it is understood that the com mission will not attempt to delineate a hard and fast boundary, but will rather lay down the lines along which q satisfactory settlement can be made.

At first l had supposed the dead
 mans chest" to be that identical big box Of lis upstairs in the front room, and the thought had been mingled ia my gl,tr1arcs with that Of the one legged scafaring man. But by this time we had all long ceased to pay any par ticular notice to the song; it was new, .hat night, to nobody but Dr. Livesey, and on hila 1 observed that it did not produce al agreeable effect, for he looked up for q moment quite a2grily before he went on with his talk to old Taylor, the gardener, on q new cure for rheumatics. h the meantime the cap tain gradually brightened up at his own music. and at last Tapped his hand upon the table before him in q way we all knew to recan-silencc. The voices stopped at once, all but Dr. Livcsey's; he went on as before. speaking clear ard l,iHd, and drawing briskly at his pipe between every word or two. The captain gIarcd at him for awhile, Tapped his hand again. glared still harder, and at last broke out with vili2inous. low oath: "Silence, there between decl.s!"
 Were you addressing me, sir?" says the doctor; and when the rufiian had told him. with another oath, that this was so, "I have cnly one thing to say to you, sir" replies the doctcr, that ii you keep on drinking rum the world svill soon be quit of very dirty scoun- lrell"
 The old fellows fury was awful. He sprung to his feet, drew and opened sailors clasp knife, and, balancing it open o- the palm of his hand, threat ened to pin the doctor to the wall.
 The doctor never so much as moved. He spoke to him, as before, over his shoulder. and in he same tone Of voice; rather high, so that all the room might hear, but perfectly calm and steady:
 "If you don't put that knife this in- stant into your pocket, I promise, upon my honor, you shall hang at the next assizcs"
 Then followed a battle of looks be- tween them; but the captain soon llnuckled under, put up his weapon, and resumed his seat, grumbling like beat an dog.

NEW STEEL COMBINATION.
To Take in All tho Medium and Smal
 Sized Plants.

Pittsburg, Pa. Feb. 6.-Judge Moore of Chicago is promoting | new cor poration which is to take in all the medium sized and small steel plants or the country which produce billets, sheet bars, etc. The nucleus of the new combination will be in the Ohio Steel company of Youngstown. o. It has a capacity of 300 tons of steel Der day and is a modern plant It is proposed to include the Shenango Steel company's mill of New Castle. the Bellaire, O., Steel mill, and King Gildert & Warner, of Columbus. The SchOenberger Steel company of Pitts burg will not enter the combinat ton unless fancy price is paid for the plant. The Schoenbergers employ a large part Of their product in making specialties.
 Judge Moore is undoubtedly pro- noting the enterprise for the Ameri- can Tinplate company. although the steel mill consolidation will be incor- porated under a separate name. The American Tinplate company now con- trols the steel mills of the Cleveland Rolling Mill company and the Hains- worth steel mill of the Olivers, but these cannot furnish sufficient material fo~ bleck nlGtcS

LONGEST ON RECORD.
An Episcopal Clergyman Who Read
the whole Evening Service at
Child's y Baptism.

Rev. Dr.. Campbell Fair. dean of the
cathedral at Omaha, Neb., lately told a
story in the course of one of his SER
mons which seemed to be much anpreci-
ated by the congregation.
When rector of the largest church in
Grand Rapids, Mich. Dir. Fair said. he
was requested TO baptize a child in the
private home of one of the wealthiest
members of his congregation, notwith-
standing the law in the Episcopal
church which prohibits baptism in a
private home save where the person to
be baptized is in a state bordering on
death.
When DR.. Fair arrived at the home,
%supposing he was TO baptize a sick
child, he was more than astonished to
find a most elaborate order of arrange.
ments laid out. The spacious rooms
were filled with relatives and friends,
and a splendid repast at the hands of a
fashionable caterer was awaiting the
conclusion of the ceremony.
When the infant was introduced,
brimming over with vitality. DR.. Fair
took in the situation at a glance and de.
cided instantly upon his course. He
announced to the assemblage that he
was about to take the entire evening
service. as was his custom when a large
congregation was present, and he went
through the whole service Of As minutes,
including the reading of two lessons,
After this he courteously and mildlvin.
formed the astonishcd congregation
that it was likewise his custom 10 take
up a collection. Then the bouncing
baby was produced and baptism was
duly administered. 1t was the only
child that DR.. Fair baptized in that
family.-Baltimore Sun.

WHERE THE DIFFICULTY LIES.

Aunt Patience used to tell me, in my youth
ful days gone by,
That when a Teller suffered he had hetter
laugh than cry;
There wouldn't be no sympathy expressed
if you were sad,
But thr world would pat the shoulder OF Il
Teller who was glad.
A motto, grin and bear It,, she took pains
to teach TO me,
And cautioned me to heed it, didn't matter
where | he.
So I've followed out the maxim. and I've
found when tried like sin,
1t isn't'hard to bear it, but lis mighty hard
to grin,
You frd that fame's elusive and that
trouble seems to chase
The Teller who's a gorsin' in liie's quite UNI
I've race.
The way to fortunes rough TO tread tor
tired, aching feet;
An there's obstacles of envy, hills OF worry
and deceit.
But sttll you lift your burdens and YOU try
to do what's right;
You strive with all your strength to win a
feather in the fight;
| And then, when all is over, and you iind
you didn't win,
It isn't hard to bear it, but it's mighty hard
to grin,
And so I'm testifyin' to the motto's wond'-
rouS truth,
To follow it takes metal in the aged or the
youth.
A Teller soon gets used in life to disappoint-
ment's sting,
And after while gets calloused so heIl bear
most anything;
But that amt all the motto, for the Diff
culty's where
1t tells you to look pleasant sorter like
you didn't care;
To look like you was happy when in trouble
to your chin
1t isn't hard to bear il, but it's mighty hare
to grin.
