When Mr. Cleveland wanted to send

Asia, he selected Mr.. Barrett, who was
supported by the six United States
senators from the three Pacific states
and also indorsed by many chambers
Of commerce and representative bodies.
Mr.. Barrett served his country with
credit, and when sent 10 siam WIS the

cRAD1ED BY AN ICEBERG.

l A thrilling story of a vessels encoun- 1 ter with an iceberg is told by Captain | Chester, of the schooner Elwood. While the schooner was on a fishing cruise in the northern waters Captain l Chester sighted an immense iceberg ap- parently fast on a reef known to exist just off Hoonia. It's a lucky find" thought the captain, as he headed the Elwood for the berg, that he might fill
 the hold with ice to preserve the fish he
 expected to catch.
 When the schooner was within a few yards of the berg the anchor was dropped The vessel swung around un- til she came alongside the berg, to which she was made fast with lines. The tide was al the full; a gang plank was thrown over to a ledge on the ice
 and the men began breaking off chunks of ice and hoisting them aboard. All went well until evening, when thirty
 tons of ice had been slowed in the hold
 Meanwhile the falling tide had
 caused the berg to settle upon the reef and to tip toward the side opposite the
 vessel The gangplank rose in the air and had to be made fast to a ledge nearer the water to keep it horizontal.
 Captain Chester suspecting that all was not going to be well, ordered the crew to make sail. Before they could man the halyards the iceberg with a
 grinding roar, rolled off the reef and started to turn over.
 A jagged spur of ice which had formed the bottom of the berg. rose on the starboard side of the vessel and be- heath it. The ice struck the keel, and the vessel, lifted out of the water, rest ed in an ice cradle Chester ordered his men to get into the boats and out held the schooner to the berg, the men pulled to a safe distance and waited.
 The anchor held fast, and the schoon- CT tugged at the chain. The tide dropped a few more inches, the iceberg careened still further and the Elwood rose higher This proved the schoon- CTS salvation.
 The tendency of the iceberg to roll oyer and raise the vessel brought such an enormous strain upon the anchor chain that something had to give way. HoHlS'uluS ulu, anu lO lHe JOY or the fishermen it was not the anchor or the chain.
 The iceberg 1urched, and the schoon- CT was seen to slide several feet along the crevice in which 1t rested There was another lurch and another slide Then the vessel reached downward grace, and the next instant shot ott tne iceberg and into the sea- bows on, like a rocket
 She shipped heavy sea as the result of plunging her nose beneath the sur face, but quickly righted, and after over her anchor chain and tugging viciously to get away settled down to her original state of tranquilli- ty, to all appearances unhurt.-San Francisco Chronicle.

 Frank s. Davis might have been without house and home to-day, but for the heroic efforts of Mrs. Davis, who prevented q serious connagration at the expense of much pain to herself. Last Friday evening while Mrs Davis was using her sewing machine the drapery on a shelf above the machine caught fire from a lamp and sparks and burn ing fragments began to fall upon the carpet and other inhamable material. Mrs Davis instinctlvey seized the burning drapery with her hands and succeeded in smothering the flames. But as the carpet and other things were still burning, and she was 9ione in the house her first impulse was to rush to the door and shout fnr assist ance. But fearing that delay would give the fire a chance to gain headway, and refieeting that the insurance had expired that very day, she seized mat tings and blankets, and perseyered un- til she had smothered the last spark. Mrs Davis hands were severely burn ed and blistered, and she has since suf- fered much pain. The wounds are now healing, and it is hoped that there may be no unsightly scars

BEWARE OF INVITATIONS

the British ship, and within eighteen
 hours the disabled Hostilius was taken in tow and was heading bravely under the powerful escort for the harbor of Barbados.
 This speedy rescue was not entirely
 due to the prompt action of the Inde-
 fatigable. When the little yawl left the
 disabled steamer with her brave little
 crew the breeze freshened and within four days after the leaving of the yaWl
 the steamer sailed 300 miles. It had
 taken seven days to drift ITO miles, and this improved condition gave us all new hope. Then, again, we were cheered shortly after leaving the yawl by sight ing a sailing vessel, the Petunia of Nova Scotia She supplied us with some sore ly needed stores, and we were all in the best of spirits when the Indefatigable sighted us the evening of October 16. She stood off until morning, when we were taken in tow and brought to Bar bados, which port we reached October 1S
 From Barbados we were given pass age to New Orleans on the German steamer Karthago. In this luck was with us again, for the Karthago only touched Barbados by chance. She had picked up the wreck of sailing vessel, and made Barbados as the most con- venient port. She was bound for New Orleans, and we were given the passage. I understand that the German made a handsome thing in salvage on the sail ing vessel, and as the passage of the muleteers was paid the visit to Barba- dos was decidedly profitable one.
 At Barbados a pompous-looking ne- gro interviewed several of us for local paper. The story he published was dream. He told in glowing headlines of the wreck of ship with a cargo of fifty mules and muleteers mixed but, as a matter of fact, the whole horror of the story as it appeared in the paper he represented was that a cargo of fifty mules had been wrecked."-New Or leans Times Democrat.

 There is probably not a state south of the Potomac and Ohio in which there
 are not some wild turkeys. Good big gobblers are kelled within thirty miles of Washington, down in Virginia. In both Ohio and Indiana there are still a few of the noble birds and in some of the counties of Illinois below Shwanee-
 town there are a good many at times. 1 The turkey is a migratory creature I within its environments. Ii likes food
 and plenty of it, with some variety, for l it is an epicure in its way. In the sum
 mer it delights in the pursuit and cap-
 ture of nunberless kinds of gfasshop- pers that swarm on the southern and
 southwestern prairies When the lus-
 cious wild strawberry begins to ripen the turkey knows 1t is very early, and usually gets its share, although it keeps pretty close to cover, Whether it is pursuing the elusive hopper or gather | ing strawberries il will seldom be coaXed to wander more than a quarter
 of a mile away from wood ol thicl1et. l once counted over one hundred grown turkeys catching grasshoppers. Con- cealed by the spreading branches of Hive oak nearly half a mile away I watched them for some time but a keen-eyed gobbler saw me and the host of the Black Roderick did not disap-
 pear with greater caecrity or silence,
 as in thirty seconds not a turkey was
 in sight,
 Hunting tie wild turkey is superb sport, but the true turkey hunter, like the crack shot, is born, not made. There is certain delicacy Of judgment and skill required if one is to pit himself against the willy gobber with success that overlavs deer stalking far and away. The most skilfull turkey hunter have ever known, and for that mat ter, one Of the most accomplished sportsmen in America, was General Wade Hampton in his youth. Then the use of a call-Why hundred of these pages might be written of that alone. | To one who would enjoy a new sensa- tion in sport with the brown barrels or the rifle, I can suggest nothing in l charm and fascination equal to the | hunting of the wild turkey. If by any | chance the neophyte has a friend or an | acquaintance in any part of the Indian | territory, let him pay that friend wis it this autumn or winter, for the wild | turkey is found in greater abundance and size too-there than anywhere in the United States. But one should not go there alone, as it is not a very good | place to go foolng around if the hunter has no friends there. One should pro vide himself with a good rifle of 32-40 caliber and charge-or else a good gun that be can shoot well. study the game and learn as much as possible about it. And so may the good St Hubert, patron of all true sportsmen have you in his keeping. Washington Post.

he has studied carefully with a view to
 initiating natural covers in his desire to
 stalk his game in sportsmanlike
 manner and don flaming red golf
 coat or a purple sweater? Shall he
 wear grdle of dangling bells about his
 waist and blow a foghorn now and
 then, like a schooner becalmed iii the track of ocean liners? Would the reck-
 less shooter be likely to make out his identity if he is preceded by fife and drum corps or a brass band? Shall he resort to chain mail like the knights of olden times, or try to obtain from one of the navy yards a castaway coming
 tower from one of the old torpedo boats? We confess these questions sound foolish, yet we must admit frankly that so far all ordinary precau- tions fail in protecting human beings who go to the most popular hunting re- gions to shoot deer. As has often been pointed out by our many friends, there is no such thing as being certain an ex- cited individual will miss one when he shoots at him in the belief that he has at last seen his much sought for buck. Although it will readily be wise to wear a red cap or red handkerchief round the head, as some of the Indians do while hunting, such precautions will De of no avail in the dusk of evening. So, then. it would seem there are but two ways left open to the sports man; either remain at home or take chances in the woods, The game will not take kindly to COW bells or loud and there is no certainty the wild shooter will respect ones efforts to preserve his skin whole and get q deer.
 The man who finds solution for this bugaboo of the sportsman will be public benefactor.-Ban Industrial Record
