Much interest attaches to the pc--

this moment, and for the reason that
he is on the point of completing book
which will contain his full views on
the vital question OF disarmament.
The Counts study at Jasnala Polana
is plainly furnished, containing little
except a plain deal table and an ordi-
nary bench, on which the master of the
house sits while he is composing his
famous books. In one corner of the
room is reaping hook, and in an
other are some iron rings, which were
formerly used for the purpose of fas-
tening the wrists of criminals, but
which now serve for gymnastic exer-

handed the casks OF dollars out of the
hold, broke them open and helped
themselves quarreling with each
other for the first possession as each
cask was oprhed. At last every man
had obtained as much as he could
carry, and had placed his spoil on the
raft with his baggage, or in the boat
to which he had been appointed. All
was now ready-Amine was lowered
down and took her station; the boats
took in tow the raft, which was cast
off from the vessel, and away they
went with the current, pulling with all
their strength to avoid being stranded
upon that part of the sSndbank which
appeared above the water. This was
the great danger which they had to
encounter, and which they very mar
rowly escaped
They numbered eighty-six souls in
all; in the boats there were thirty
two; the rest were on the raft, which,
being we'll built and full of timber,
floated high out Of the water, now that
the sea was so smooth. 1t had been
agreed upon by Philip and Krantz that
one Of them should remain on the raft
and the other in one of the boats; but
at the time the raft quilted the ship
they were both on the raft, as they
wished to consult, as soon as they dis
covered the direction OF the current,
which would be the most advisable
course for them to pursue. 1t appeared
that as soon as the current had passed
the bank it took a more southerly d.
rection toward New Guinea. 1t was
then debated between them whether
they should or should not land on that
island, the natives of which were
known to be pusillanimous yet treach-
erous. A long debate ensued which
ended, however, in their resolving not
to decide as yet, but wait and see what
might occur In the meantime the
boats pulled to the westward, while
the current set them fast down in a
southerly direction.
Night came on and the boats dropped
the grapnels with which they had beer
provided, and Philip was glad to find
that the current was not near so strong
and the grapnels held both boats and
raft. Covering themselves up with the
spare sails with which they had pro-
vided themselves and setting a watch,
the tired seamen were soon fast asleep.
Had l not better remain in one OF
the boats observed Krantz. Sup
pose, to save themselves, the boats
were to leave the raft"
81 have thought Of that" replied
Philip. land have therefore not al
lowed any provisions or water in the
boats; they will not leave us for that
reason"
True; l had forgotten that"
Krantz remained on watch, AID
Philip retired to the repose which he
so much needed. Anime met him with
open arms.
II have no fear, Philip" said she;
Il rather like this wild, adventurous
change We will go on shore and
build our hut beneath the cocoa trees
and l shall repine when the day comes
which brings succor and releases us
from our desert isle. What do l re-

1--WE are in the hands of One above,
dear, who will act with us as He
pleases. We have to be thankful that
it is no worse" replied Philip. "But

A CALL FROM JOHN BROWN.

| Some time in the SOS, my husband
spoke to me Of very remarkable man,
of whom, he said, should be sure to
hear sooner or later. This man, DR..
Howe said, seemed to intend to devote
his life to the redemption of the col
ored race from slavery, even as Christ
had willingly offered his life for the
salvation of mankind. 1t was enjoined
upon me that | should not mention to
any one this confidential communica-

Yale Freshmen Are Outclassed

New Haven, Nov. 26.-Princeton won
one of the greatest football games ever
played between Yale and the tigers by
score of IL to 10, taking the victory
away from Old Eli when her great
right-end, Arthur Poe, dropped beau
tiful goal from the field one minute be-
fore the close of the last half His per-
because never before, in practice or
game, had he attempted to kick goal
from the field. Princeton had scored
early in the game through 32-yard
run by Reiter, who carried the bail
nearly to Yales goal and was pushed
over for touchdown. Goal was kicked.
Sharpe Yales half-back, made aspec-
tacular goal kick from the 45-yard line.
Both teams played straight football
throughout, few trick plays being tried.
While the odds were plainly in Yale's
favor in punting, the Princeton for
wards and running backs proved much
stronger. Princeton's defense was the
feature of the game. Except when
driven back to the goal line by Nc
Brides long punts, the ball was almost
always in Yales territory.
Chicago Defeats Minnesota.
Chicago, Nov. 26.-The University of
Chicago eleven ran up score OF ~
points against the team from the Uni
versity of Minnesota on Marshall field
and prevented their opponents from
scoring. Minnesota's eleven was
played off it's feet in the first half, Chi
cago making % points. In the second
half the visitors did better and once
got the ball within Is yards of Chica-
COS goal line. The game was remark
able for the number of times Chicago
was penalized for off-side playing,
nearly 100 yards being lost for this
reason alone.

THE RALEIGH SPEAKS.

Out there in Manila Bay
Captain Coghlan banged away;
Loaded up his guns and fired
Just as if he was inspired;
And he was, too, like as not;
Dewey done it; that was what.
Anyway, he fired away
All around Manila Bay,
With the others shooting, too;
Regular Red, White and Blue
Celebration. Hip! Hooray!
Whoop la. Ia ra boom de ay.
When our Jacks were through with 1t
Every Spanish ship was init,
Gone to meet McGinty, they,
Down there in Manila Bay.
Never had the Orient
Known exactly what it meant
To say that things had gone h bent
And the sights they saw that day
All around Manila Bay
Gave the people something new
In Oriental splendor," too.
Then Dewey, in his quiet way
Took mortgage on the bay;
Took it, and he held it, too,
Though there was a party who
Put up something of bluff;
Not big one, but enough.
Dewey called it, saying: Mix;
Was list los NIT Diederichs?"
Coghlan wasn't far away,
And his brothers in the Bay
Stood alongside, one and all,
Ready for the word Play BALI"
Happily it did not come;
But If it had you bet, by gum
However, that is past and gone,
And we've put our peace clothes on;
The incident is closed, and we
Are now engaged on harmony.
Coghlan told the story, he
Didn't think lese majesty
Was in force here; he had not
Well considered Mich und Colt"
If he were diplomat,
He would know where he was at,
Put he isn't; all he knows
Is to go where Dewey goes;
Is to put Old Glory where
1t should go, and keep it there;
Is to do his duty well,
Which means to him to fight like h;
And the Raleigh's crew all yell:

THE MAN WITHOUT THE HOE.

The weight of centuries he does not

To feel. He lies upon his back and
yawns.
He bears the dust of ages on his face
Without a murmur. But he feels a
thirst
A thirs. that will impel him presently
With great reluctance, to up-end him
self
And work the town to quench it. LooI
at him!
Who gave him that consuming thirst
Whose hand
Incarnidined that nose? Who put that
look
OF enui in his dead, lack-luster eyes
Who wore the clothes originally which
Hang in festoons about him now? Ant
who
Turned him out to grass? Approach
and ask him:
my rusty friend. my poor, world
weary friend,
Ger whom the modern car of Jugger

So ruthlessly doth seem to have beer
driven,
The manliness within thee crushing

And making thee flattered imitation
OF human being, wilt thou tell me
Who is the author of thy miseries?"
"B'gosh, dunno who!" he makes re
ply.
"All I can rickollect Is that one day,
When I was hoein' in the field,
seemed
To hear a voice that said Throw

But, boss, drapped that hoe, and
