his foot slipped and caught in the

wound which scraped from his thigh
down to his knee. How he managed
to get his leg out of the revolving

NAVIGATING THE RED RIVER.

Written for The Prison Mirror.
Back not more than fifteen years ago
1 had the pleasure of being present at
a meeting which was held at small
village just across the Red River, and
on the Dakota side. There were quite
few farmers present, and also many
business men who were interested in
the meeting.
This meeting was held for the pur-
pose of forming syndicate, who would
attempt navigating the Red River.
Having nothing better to do, 1 thought
[ may as well stay and listen to the
speeches which were to be delivered at
the opening of the meeting. At two
o'clock the room was we'll filled, and
ten minutes later the meeting was
called to order.
The first to mount the platform was
very refined looking gentleman of
about thirty years, who made a very
good address, in which he told the
people that, according to his estimation
and from facts which he had gathered
concerning the river, it would not be a
wise plan to spend any amount of
money on steamboat of any kind, for
such would be throwing money away.
The next speaker to ascend the plat
form was big, fat, red-faced Swede,
and it was plain to be seen that he had
been somewhat ruf1led by the former
gentleman's address. 1 cannot give you
the exact words that he used, but as
near as [ remember, this is what the
Swede had to say:
GA would like you feller vot ben har,
to Understand that tank ben live har

"What's the good of just ridin' round
the country this way?" soliloquized
the gamin as he road the top of a fast
rattler on his way to Chicago. "Pm
not doing myself any good, or any one
else. think I'Il get some hard graft
and go to work when hit the pave in
Chicago"
The gamin had just hit the pave, as
he termed it, and went strolling down
Wabash Ave-, when his eye caught
sight of sign hanging to the knob of
hallway door, with "Boy Wanted
Upstairs" printed in large letters upon
it. 1t seemed to him that that sign
had been placed there especially for
him.
"Ah there my huckleberryw he said.
"Pll just flag you and see what's
wanted upstairs"
He took the sign and put it on his
shoulder and bolted upstairs with it as
fast as he could go, because he was
afraid if he stopped to think about it,
he might change his mind and not go
to work. On the first landing he came
face to face with large door, with
"Rlank & Co., Printers," written upon
it. He stopped to get his wind and
get con ready to spiel for the job
Then his resolution began to waver,
but he was too gritty to back out after
going this far; so he opened the door,
stepped in quickly and closed it. He
was not prepared for the scene that he
beheld, when upon looking around, he
nearly fell over with amazement; for
the room he had entered was filled
with stylish clerks and every eye was
turned upon him. There he stood in
bewilderment thinking what to do, and
presenting very comical appearance
with his hands and face as black as

There were several other speeches
made, and the outcome of the meeting
was, that boat was ordered made at
once, and Ola Yonson, the fat-faced
SWede, was to be it's captain. Time
passed and the boat was ready for use.
Ola kept his promise well, and when
the boat was ready, the crew was all
present for her trial trip. The only
difficulty which confronted Ola, was
how to find and keep in the channel.
He studied some time over this per-
picking question and at last he came
to the conclusion that there was only
one way by which to overcome this
difficulty, namely, long pole. Ola
took this part of the work upon him.
self, and when the boat was ready to
start he took a position at the extreme
front end, and would sink the pole and
then make his report to the pilot. By
this method they were able to keep the
channel very well, so long as they did
not 60 fast. Ola was kept quite busy
and he would shout to the pilot every
time he would sink the pole:
"Pleanty vother har Pleanty vother
har! Not SO much vother har! More
vather har"
At this point something became
wrong in the engine room. The boat
was flying along at rapid pace, and
Ola was singing out:
''Pleanty vother har. Not so much
vother har-vot you doin' har. Keep
away from harp
Just then the boat run on big rock
and Ola was thrown with some vio-
lence into the water and when he came
to the surface he was heard to say.

coal dust and grease from the cars
could make them. His hat stuck on
the left side Of his head, the sign on
his right shoulder and holes in his
stockings and the toes of bis shoes.
The sight was too irresistible funny
for the clerks, and they burst into up
roarous laughter, that brought Mr..
Treacy the manager, from an inner
office to see what the fun was about.
The manager laughed heartily too
upon seeing him, and then feeling kind
of sorry for the gamin, asked him
kindly what he wanted.
GAS 1 was comm into town today, L
came to the thought, l would like to
go to work and be honest" answered
the gamin. "And as 1 was goin' past
here 1 seen this sign and am here to
get the job"
The manager had boy about the
gamin's size, and his heart went out in
pity for this small waif from the
gutter, and he told him he should have

that had placed the sign out, and made
him place it back again.
MIR. Treacy took the gamin home
with him that night and with good
clothes and plenty of soap and water,
wrought such transformation of him
that none of the clerks could recognize
him as the same boy who came looking
for work the day before. He was not
educated enough for Office boy, so he
was put to running errands. Mr..
Treacy kept him and finally sent him
to night school. Being very bright
boy, as most street arabs are, he learned
quickly and was soon promoted to
office boy and then in due course to be
clerk. Today he is respected MEM
ber of the firm that took him in when
he was an outcast, and now he gives
large sums to help other little outcasts
of the city's streets to become good and
honest men. NJ. j.
