With open mouth, puckered forehead
and bullying eyes, his gaze wandered
from the shore to the water each side,
to his innocent looking crew, TO his own
long figure, which he scanned from his
feet up as though douhting his own ex-
istence and back to the shore
The mate and the cook were called,
and all hands manned the windlass, the
captain holding slack and earnestly ex-
planning to the mate the ghostly inter

Dunkirk Sam ventured to expostulate.
"We lifted him, cappen, cause we

If you II let the cook fix him up for a

not to tell the other cappens bout it.,
and we won't tell the minister bout

answering, Captain Tom shamefacedly
went below Ten minutes later the
cook asked Bill for the rooster. This
story has no moral. Not that in the
eternal fitness of things this should be.
1t ought to go on record that the pot
pie choked them, but nothing of the
kind happened. There is not point on
which moral can hang.
Captain Tom steered, as was his hab-
it, while the rest mustered around the
cabin table. The cook divided the pot
pie into six sections and ate his share
in the galley. The mate finished his
dinner and went up to relieve the skip

PENN CREW WINS.
CAPTURES THE BIG EVENT A
POUGHKEEPSlE.
Wisconsin Men Lead Until the Last Half,
but Lose the Race by Bad Steering-Cor-
nell Finishes Third, Four Lengths Away,
With Columbia Bad Last.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y, June u.s.
one of the most exciting four mile boat
races ever witnessed in college racing.
-Four thousand people on the observa-
ton train yelled themselves hoarse in
frantic appeals to their various colleges
to do their best, and saw the red and
blue carried over the line a winner by
short half length from the Wisconsins,
who lost in the last 200 yards by bad
steering. Cornell, the victor of former
years, pulled after, full four lengths in
the rear, and Columbia, never in the
fight after the end of the first mile
trailed a good length from the stern of
the Cornell boat. 1t was the kind of
race that makes the blood tingle, and
was made so by the crew that came over
thousand miles to meet former VIC
tors, for without the gallant Wisconsins
in the race, it would have been dole
full procession after the second mile was
entered. To say there was surprise on
the observation train and amid the
great crowds upon the banks when the
Wisconsin shell swept mile after mile of
the course until the last half was
reached, with a clear lead over all the
crews, is putting it mildly. When the
people on the bank, unable to place the
stranger crew, looked toward the OBJ
servation train inquiringly and We're
told that it was Wisconsin, they were
almost dumb with amazement, and
when those on the train saw the pallant
struggle mile after mile they dropped
their appeals for their own crews and
yelled i'll friendly manner for the boys
from the west.
The alleged ragged stroke, the badly
keeled boat, the too long reach, all
We're forgotten as the fast moving shell
kept its sharp nose to the fore and then
the people saw the leaders turn out to-
ward the shore at the finish and lose
the race to the men from Pennsylvania
by short half length.

Can be given why Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best and most effectual
cure for every form of indigestion
They are in the tablet form which re-
tains their good qualities indefinitely
while liquid preparations become stale
and useless with age.
They area convenient. can be carried
in the pocket and taken when needed
They are pleasant to take.
After each meal dissolve one or two
of them in the mouth and, mingling
with the food. they constitute a perfect
digestive, absolutely safe for the most
sensitive stomach.
They digest the food before it has
time to ferment, thus preventing the
formation of gas and keeping the blood
pure and free from the poisonous prod
ucts of fermented. half digested food
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
remedy designed especially for the cure
of stomach troubles and nothing else.
One disease, one remedy; the sue

cialist, the successful medicine is the
medicine prepared especially for one
