little clock on the hall mantel had just
struck 3 O'Clock when he came walking
In. He had been out with the boys
and his wife reproached him.
"Why, it's early yet It's not late"
Just then the clock sounded one, two,

The wife looked at him with grim
rebuke. He caught her eye and jerked

The swede Laughed Last.

A good story is told about a little
Swede named Anderson, who year
ago was In the klondike diggings. one
night some of the roysterers of the
place got him drunk and while he was
In that condition they induced him to
pay $500 for claim %, ON Ell Dorado
creek, which had been staked by one OF
the jolly jokers, and was supposed to
be worthless. In the morning when
the Swede got sober he tried TO get his
money back, but the gang laughed at
him and thought it "a good joke. An
derson had no money left and decided
to 20 and find the claim and live on it
and perhaps make wages. He did this,
and the claim PANIED out 50 good that
In three months time he sold half In

Hats ON n Wreck.

A correspondent of the Newcastle
Chronicle describes a striking scene
Witnessed AT the breaking up OF the
vessel Gothenburg City on st. Mary's
island. off the coast of Northumber.
land.
The vessel might have been sailing
comfortably out Of harbor for aught
that appeared except that there was
no sign of life on board. We had no
sooner put foot ON deck, however, than
we were furlously attacked by swarms
of rats.
Great, hungry. lank. lean looking
rats. many of them with their tails
ehcwed off, swarmed up from below in
hundreds and thousands, squeaking
and squirming over each other In a
manner sickening and horrible to be-
hold.
Those of us who had stepped ON deck
ran TO the rigging. while the others
scrambled hurriedly back into the boat.
Our position in the rigging was dan
gerous In the extreme. 1t was more
than ones life was worth to attempt
to run the gantlet of those fierce. stary-
Ing rodents, and to remain In the rig
giDg was equally lmpracticable.
At last we cut off some loose ropes,
knotted them into convenient lengths
and, so armed, descended and fought
our way through the squealing hordes
and eventually succeeded In beating a
passage TO the boat.
1t seemed as II the rats knew the I'm
pending fate of the vessel, for they no
sooner saw us over the side than they
began to swarm down the ropes and
try TO enter the boat. Ii was with diff
Guilty that we could beat them of be-
fore casting clear. And they squeaked
In a horrible manner as We rowed
away.
A few hours later the Gothenburg
CITY went TO pieces.

White and red wines owe their dlf-
ference TO the fact that. while the for

the grape skirts, these are allowed TO
remain In the case of the latter. The
color of the grapes makes no difference
whatever TO the color of the wine
which they produce, for the juice OF
