allied fot d moment, doubled his body
in it ef1ectually keeping the water out
while he kept his place by holding on to
the side Of the cabin. although the waves
covered him unit. he sometimes nearly
strangled. I had become so chilled that
it was with difficulty I kept my place.
Several times my numbed hands slipped
from the wheel and / feared | should
lose control of it. / thrust my knees
between the spokes and by pressing my
body against the side of the wheel man
aged to control the rudder and keep the
vessel before the wind.
One difficulty after another we sur
mounted, ore peril after another we
escaped until hope emerging from de-
spair was planning herself for flight.
But now, as if all the elements had
conspired for our destruction, new
danger threatened. The incoming tide
channel and formed what sailors call
tide rift Wind and wave struggling for
mastery had thrown a chain OF huge foam
crested waves, cables length in width,
from shore to shore. The waves were
leaping it seemed as they had never
leaped before, darting against each other
to burst in mid air, recoiling only for
another spring. 1t is impossible to de-
scribe the terror they inspired. For
an instant the blood stiffened and the
heart stood still. The little ship, as if in
mercy to end our suspense rushed in.
For moment she quivered beneath the
surging mass. Her decks were swept
and her sails dipped into the waves, then
rose and like mastif leaped beyond the
rift, darted around the point and with
her sails steadied py the lessening breeze
sailed proudly into port.
An hour later we were secure at
anchor, and in our little cabin over
cup of steaning coffee laughed over our
wild race with the wind, yet even amidst
our mirth the thought obtrudei itself
that our days experience was like that
of many even of those who dwell far
from the perils of the deep, and we
breathed a heartfelt PRAYER that all who
encounter the storms Of adversely, all
tempest tossed souls on the sea OF life
may weather the storms, gain the port
and ride as safely at anchor as does our
little ship today"

No Foul Play.


Mr.. J. H. Wilson returned Sunday
from Fall City, whittier he had been to
investigate reports of foul play concern
ing the disappearance of A. K. Handy.
Mr.. Wilson says these rumors are un-
founded and the evidence all tends to
prove that the unfortunate man became
lost and perished from cold and ex-
haustion. The blood stains found in
the snow were across the river and a
long distance from where Handy was
last seen. The hunter was thinly Clad
Snow began falling early in the evening
of the day he was lost, and by the next

lieved that when the thaw occurs in the
spring the body will be recovered.

Pharmacy Course Endorsed.

AT recent meeting of the Oregon
State Board of Pharmacy, the following
resolutions were unanimously passed en-.
dorsing the course there offered at the
State Agricultural College and giving
recognition to the graduates from that
course:
Whereas, The Oregon State Agricult-
ural College has established course in
pharmacy and chemistry that meets with
the hearty approval of this board, mas
much as it offers a large proportion of
practical work, therefore be it
Resolved. That the Oregon State
Board of Pharmacy, acting in accordance
with sections and 6 of the Oregon
pharmacy law as amended, does grant to
the students of the Oregon State Agri-
cultural College who have completed the
full course and have received diploma
from said institution, after, they shall
have been subjectedsto such an examina-
ton, at Corvallis, Ore, as this board
may approve, on the completion of the
senior year, certificates to act as register
ed pharmacists in this state.
Provided, That any student who may
have taken the last two years Of the
course only and who does not hold the
regular diploma from the said institution,
on passing the examination aforesaid
shall My be granted the certificate of
registered assistant.
Heretofore those persons who desired
to study pharmacy have been obliged to
go to some other state to secure this
instruction, but it is now possible to
secure this at home This course in no
way interferes with the others offered at
the institution, for the students which
will pursue this course would not other
wise attend the institution. In number
of cases students have attended the in
stitution to gain the advantages of the
chemical work and then have left to take
up the study of pharmacy in some other
state or In a store. 1t is expected that
these students will be held for a full four
years course in the institution.

FIRING AWAY MILLIONS.
battleshiDs Devour Thousands of
Dollars When in Action.

BY Cleveland Mofratt.
Il is only by going into details of what
the sinews of war actually cost that one
understands how this government has
been spending a million dollars a dav. or
thereabouts, during all these weeks of
fighting and preparation for fighting.
Thousands of tons of eunnovy5ar FIR in
stance, have been bought at prices ranging
from dollar pound downward. A ton
of gunpowder seems goodly quantity I'M
til one learns that ii would not even suf-
flee for a single DISCHARGE of the four IS
inch guns of the oregon. These four
guns eat up powder at the rate of twenty
two tons on hour-Sli,000 an hour. if the
powder cost dollar a pound-and some
of the commandments have lasted many
hours. | am assuming that these four
guns keep up steady firing at their max
imum rate of one shot in three minutes.
and that being the case the heaviest item
in the expenses is sUll to be counted. for
each one Of these 1lW-pound prOiectiles
costs 5000, which gives So, 500 every time
the four guns go off or S72 600 for an
hours firing.
But there are other guns on the Oregon.
many other guns, and to find out what
an hours firing of a big batteship will
cost, We must take all these into consid-
Grafton. A single shot from one of the
eight-inch guns costs $500. and there are
eight of these, so that a single round from
them costs $1,600 But their fire is much
more rapid than that Of the 13-inch guns;
each one can be discharged once in a min
ute, or sixty times in an hour, which
would give $4,000 for an hours firing by
them all, assuming it to be kept up con
tinuously.
Then there are five five-inch guns, and
round from the five costs about $500. But
again the fire increases very much in rapi-
dity so that we may count $40 rounds an
hour, or cost of $4,000
Thus, for these three classes OF guns
alone, we have an expense per hour dur
ing continuous firing of $4,000 or more
than President McKinley's salary for his
whole four years. 1t may be that such
continuous firing of all the guns would
never take place in actual practice, but
| the figures may stand for purposes of il
lustration. And. of course, nothing has
yet been said of the many guns of small
er .caliber which are on the Oregon there
are the six-pounders, which throw out a
shot each five second; there are the three
Founders, the one-pounders. the ffty-sev-
en- millmeter rifles the thirty-seven MILL
meter revolving cannon, and the wonder
ful machine guns, which discharge eighty
one-inch projecties a minute, or 4S00 pro-
jectiles an hour.
Just how many thousands of dollars per
hour must be added to our, estimate for
| the consumption of these guns is matter

HOW a VERMONT BOY SAVED uIs
FATHER THOM 4 TERRIBLE
DEATH.

4 story Of HeroISm in the ola Colo
ninI Days When Indians Went ON
the Wnrpath and White Men Lost
Their ScnIps.
This boy was rs years old in 1777 when
Cen Burgoyne started from Canada for
Albany. ana his name was David Spafford
He lived with his father and mother and
two little sisters on a farm away up in
the Green mountains of Vermont, where
the winters are long and the snow some
times lies four feet deep for weeks at
time / myself have known the weather
to be SO cold there that ice formed in the
river more than six feet thick
II was about the middle of August, 1717
that a messenger came to AIR. Spafford'
farm and toad how Burgoyne had been
travelling southwark from Canada with
thousands of British regulars and many
hundreds OF Indian allies who were wild
with desire TO kill, scalp and burn. The
messenger added that one of the savages,
warrior so tan and heavy as to be a
giant, and known as the Wyandet Pan
Their, had murdered the beautiful daugh-
ter of a Scotch clergyman, Jenny McCrea,
who was visiting a friend at Fort Edward.
After this ACT Gen. Burgoyne had lost
control of his Indians, and in small bands
tney were oN'I-i uni'lls 'le country MI
Spafford must come at once and join
company Of Vermont farmers, who, under
Col. Stark, were going to protect their
homes and drive Indians and Hessians
alike from the country. So Mr.. Spafford
went, and was badly wounded at the bat
tie of Bennington After that he was
taken home and stayed until winter came,
when he insisted that his Wife and daugh-
ters should go to make n long visit in a
large town some twenty miles away
Thus il happened that when New Years

were living alone in the farm house. TAX

The Severity of this Dis
ease Increases Each
Winter.

Though the disagreeable effects Of Ca
tarrh are felt all the year round, cold
and unpleasant weather aggravates
the disease and it is during the winter
season that its seyerest form is felt.
Each succeeding year seems to in
tensify the disease so that it gradually
fastens its mold upon the sufferer with
grasp that becomes firmer each sea-
son.
Catarrh often appears as only cold
at first, and is hardly noticed. But
gradually the cold returns, and it is
more difficult to cure, and stays longer
than formerly These symptoms cam
not be mistaken; they mark the first
appearance of a disease that will de-
veiop in severity and stubbornness and
which it is impossible to cure with the
local treatment Of sprays, washes, and
similar applications Being a disease
of the blood, only blood remedy can
have the slightest effect upon it. S.S.S.
(Swift's Specific) is the only cure for
Catarrh, because 1T is the only blood
remedy which goes to the seat Of all OBJ
stinate cases, and forces out the disease.
Mr.. T. A. Williams, leading mer-
chant of Spartanburg, S. c., writes:
