ut is all very well to talk about the
captains and pilots of the large sound
steamers having hard times" said an
old-time sailor at the custom house.
''but for real good seamanship you
must go to the captain of tug. He
has to be able to handle his boat as
II 1t were about six inches long, and
that is no easy matter" Look at
that" he continued, calling the atten-
ton of the assembled listeners, and
pointing to a tug slowly steaming out
into the harbor. Just watch him and
see the way he has to maneuver If you
think handling a tug is an easy job"
Then all watched. and truly it did take
more than a little skill to handle the
tug. First, she steamed to the nearest
pair of barges, and taking position
at the side. was made fast. A minute
afterward the two barges and the tug
began to move slowly toward another
barge Then there was considerable
lacking and moving about. The people
watching, with the exception of the old
salt. could not understand what 1t WAS
all about, but that very soon became
evident, even to the uninitiated. The
checker board moves completed, 1t was
seen that the tug with the barges were
in such position that throwing tow
line from the stern of one barge to
the bow of the other was easy. The
hawser was paid out until the barges
were far enough apart to be safe and
the crab-like evolutions were repeated.
These were gone through with several
times and each time another barge or
pair of them was added to the tow, and
scarcely an hour after the first barge
was picked up. the tug with six barges
in tow was steaming slowly out OF the
harbor, taking an easterly direction.
There, now" said the sailor. what
do you think Of that bit of piloting?"
and all who had watched the operation
OF picking up the tow were Obliged to
acknowledge that easy as it had looked
it would require more than little sea
knowledge to do the trick without in
juring one or more of the barges and
in anything like the ume.-New Lon

to live as they please and watch the

gifts. 1t has never cost them more
than $500 a year to live, so on the
Income they have provided for them
selves they will no doubt continue
their giving. which has really now be-
come a habit. The doctor says. how

to an amount that will allow him and

It was not many weeks before he
had sold the 1900 acres. and other
friends in the east authorized him to
sell lands. He never charged more
than tiye per cent commission At the
end OF two years Dr. Pearsons' farm
land sales had become famous and he
was agent for some of the largest land
owners In the country. Some weeks
his sales would amount to $4,000, and
his fees would therefore be $4,000. HIS
earnings he invested In farm lands

becoming so prosperous that his land
lord raised the rates for himself and

TEACHING PERSISTENCE.
Even Mere Babes Can BE Encouraged in
the Habit of Trying Again.

Few little children, of course, volun-

of desire and innate ambition to reach
right results. have seen this strug-

show itself in a little child but is
months old. And how sincerely /
respected that little one. He was sit
ting in his mothers lap beside the IL
brary table one evening, when in an
idle mood she took up a penny and set
1t on the head of a small gilt image
three or four inches high and with
head scarcely larger than the head of
the coin. Seeing that the baby watch
ed her, she said playfully: Baby can't
do thati" The little ones brown eyes
sparkled with look that seemed to
say. "oh. can't IT, And taking the
penny in his fingers he essayed to bal
said the baby, quietly, and picking 1t
up tried again. with the same result.
without the least sign of discourage

tried over and over again for score of
times, until at last he succeeded in

image The brave baby! We gave him
a round of applause. and he looked
from one to the other of us with Curl
GUS little glance of satisfaction. The
next day he could not be prevailed
upon to undertake the same feat again.
Once having demonstrated that ne
could do it the act lost its interest.
Here was a tiny hero in want of diff

his whole mind upon single object
so long as 1t was necessary for that
object to engross his attention.-Wom-
