truth is STRANGER
THAN FICTION. ?
1t Is Also Stronger Than
Fiction.

There is an old time story which
serves to illustrate the saying that
truth is stranger than fiction. A young
sailor has come back from his flrst
voyage, and is telling his fond and adj
miring mother the wonders he has
seen during his long absence. Why,
says Jack, when we were heaving up
cur anchor in the Red Sea, we brought
UP one Of Pharoah's chariot wheels on
the anchor f1uke." Il can't believe 1T,
Jack" said his mother, for we all
know that Pharaoh was drowned in
the Red Sea and that his chariots and
horsemen were 'whelmed in the tide
as the hymn says. But didn't you see
anything really wonderful"
well, mother, after being we'll nigh
wrecked in a tornado we made the
West Indies, and there we sailed up a
river Of pure rum to a mountain OF
solid sugar, and took aboard cargo
for the China Seas"
81 don't see anything remarkable
about these things, Jack" said the old
lady. 1--WE all know that the sugar
and rum come from the Indies,
and land knows there must be noun
tains of sugar and rivers OF rum to
keep up the supply all these years.
Tell me of some strange and extraor-
binary thing you saw on your Voy-
