Trying to Calm Others While Hold
ing to the Life Preservers.
Philadelphia Inquirer
some funny situations occasionally
arise from sudden cases of real or ap-
parent danger" remarked a much-traV-
eIed philadelphia one day recently, an
illustration Of which fact came under my
observation on the trip from Whlch
have Just returned. 1t was on a crowd
ed steamboat. The time was night and
some big excursion party was on board
All at once the boat began to careen
from side to side in a way that alarmed
me, accustomed as l was to queer an
tics of water craft, but because OF the
MANY women and children on board l
kept my alarm to myself.
''It wasn't so with others who noticed
the boats rocking, however, and pretty
soon everybody was frantically fastening
on life preservers. I mean everybody
who could get them, for the boat was
equipped with only about half enough to
go around Then there followed a scene
of the widest confusion. Women were
crying and shrieking Some of them
were on their knees praying. Men who
should have had better sense ran wildly
to and fro picking out the best places
from which to jump If the steamer did
tip over. In the midst of it all the cap
tain appeared. Coming up to little
group of which I was one, and the mem
bers of which were outwardly calm, he
assured US that there was really no dan
ger and asked us If we would quietly
ningle with the people and endeavor
to restore quiet. OF course we consented
But that wasn't the funny part. Stand
ing near enough to oVerhear our CONVEX
sation was an excited individual of mid
die age When we started on our mis-
sionary work he thought it his duty to
help, and half a minute later he was
hard at work in the cabin telling the
women to stop their crying for the
boat was all right. He didn't seem to
have much success, however, and 1 won
dered at 1t until I saw him stop in front
of a grim-visaged middle-aged woman,
who had been unable to get hold Of
life preserver.
BE calm, madam, be calm he eX-
claimed; there is no danger whatever,
and the boat will get to shore all right
''The woman looked the fellow over
scornfully.
If YOU are 80 sure of that she re-
torted, then give me one of those two
life preservers you are hanging on to SO
tight.
1'sure enough, although I hadn't no
ticed it before, the man had been carry
ing a life preserver in each hand in adj
dition to the one he wore around his
waist all the time he was so energetically
assuring the weeping women that there
was no danger The thing was so alb
surd that 1 and two or three others who
took it all in burst out laughing, which
had as much to do with restoring quiet
as anything else. Half an hour later the
boat landed right side up with care, and
we saw no more of the man with the
three life preservers'

Those interested In creamery, dairy

should note that exhibitors get All in
crease in pro rata premiums quite worth
struggling for, this year, from the fact
that all entry fees in the dairy depart
ment are to be added to the sum to be
pro-rated among exhibitors. This
amounts to a large increase in these
pro rata premiums, and makes 1t GER
tain that the exhibit will be larger than
ever before. If the dairy department is

due to lack of attractive premiums.
