ABLE SE.AMFlN WEST.

How His Name Came Near Wrecking
an Atlantic Steamer.
There are times when names may
lead TO serious consequences, even
though Shakespeare did ask, what is
in o name?"
Captain Tom Evans of the Neptune
line steamer Runo had indelibly I'M
pressed upon his memory a name that
he viii ever consider has elements of
danger in it. Coming down the coast
on October 81, bound from Rotterdam
for Baltimore, all hands, excepting the
man at the Wheel were engaged burn
lshing up the bright work about the
decks to have the Runo look attractive
when she reached Baltimore. On the
forecastle was man named West, who
was wanted to join the brass polishers
aft.
The Runo at the time was steaming
her best on course somewhat by west,
Cape Charles lightship bearing on the
starboard bow. The second officer had
left the bridge and Captain Evans took
the deck during his absence. Learning
that the man West was wanted, Cap

tain Evans shouted "West!" and went
down to the lower bridge.
1t appealed to him to be but few
minutes when he looked over the side
and, to his horror discovered that Runo
had Cane Charles lghtship and Hog
Island on her port bow. Such post
ion was conceivable to him, and he
rushed to the bridge and ordered the
Wheelnan to change the course as
speedily as possible to almost east. Sat
isfied with her safe position, the south
west-by-West course was again re-
sumed
Then Captain Evans demanded of the
man in no uncertain language why he
dared to change the vessels course,
which would have run her on the low
shores of Virginia within short time
The man surprised that the master
should ask such question, which did
not improve Captain Toms humor after
his recovery from scare. The man
said that the captain changed the
course himself. Then came the revela-
ton.
When Capt. Evans shouted West"
to the man in the forecastle the man at
the wheel took it as an order from the
master to change the course, and he
did SO by bringing her up three points,
which put the bow directly inshore and
steamfng at a good speed for the dam
gerous shoals off the coast it would not
have been long before bottom would
have <been found.
Captain Evans says he will never
ahve another man in his crew who is
known as either North, South East or
West. If he finds one that man must
respond to the name of Smith, Jones or
Brown.
Mr.. South is chief officer Of the steam
er Ohio, Of the same fleet as Runo, but
his position requires others to place a
handle before his name, which pre-
cludes the danger of the man at the
wheel changing the course TO "Mr.

anced to tall, bony girl with carrotty
hair, whom he detests, and made a
pretense of being greatly delighted
thereat; after he has curbed seven
tenths of his natural incinations, and
made of himself an entirely different
man than he originally intended to
make; after all this, and just when he
seems about to grasp the reward, it Is
distinctly disheartening to have the
reward put ahead fifty years more or
less, And yet, had any one asked of
him point blank the question, Are
you not glad your uncle Smiley is
dying?" he would have been panied
AYE, shocked.
Uncle Smiley was not an old man;
but the cares of great business had
weighed heavily upon him, aud the
grippe had found him but lily pre-
pared for combat. Therefore, it had
toyed with him remorselcssly, as cat
toys with mouse, and had filled his
body with racking pains and his mind
with dark forebodings. And one day
when the pains were more than ordi-
narily racking, and his forebodings
we're black, and his languor was such
that he kept 10 his bed, he sent for

He smiled feebly, and placed the
hand of the girl in that Of Smiley,
where it should have been of its own
volition.

sole heir, Smiley, provided"
A man-servant entered at this june

You may give it to me, If you

The man did as indicated, and by
the act marked the beginning. of the
end of Uncle Snidley's grippe.

unfinished sentence and looking the
while at the first page of the news

To-day Uncle S1idley is as hale and
hearty as any man could wish. The fire
has returned to his eye and the spring
to his step. He has contracted a
habit of waving his hand towards the
sideboard, whereon Johann Hoff's is
ever visible, and announcing his firm
intention of living for fifty years to
come. 1t seems quite probable that
he will do so.
Of course, Smiley Radwing would
not have it otherwise He has deep
feeling of affection for Uncle Smiley.
But neutrality-suspicious. the tall, bony
maiden, perhaps the reaction from the
nervous tension produced by Uncle

dered him irritable and melancholy.

disappointment. Perhaps it is that.
He obtained the identical newspaper
which contained the Hateful advertise

pretense of wishing to preserve it
and tore it viciously into the most
minute fragments. He has taken
guilty to signing his name S. Wad-
Ington Radwing. His irritation is
not more than natural perhaps am
sure he will see the day when he will
bless Johann Hoff's fervently, for
Uncle Snidley's commercial nerve is
stronger than it ever was before and,

Of 1904 should have the support of con-

necessary to show that it has the in
dorsement and backing Of the state This,

winter. Nothing has ever met with a.
more general, hearty cooperation on the
part OF the people of the whole state than

and 1t is expected that the strong friends
Of the idea in every county will see that
the members of the legislature come up

port of the exposition. 1t is certain that
Kansas will get a. dollar return for every

While congress is not friendly to state
expositions, there is more than ordinary
ground for the application Kansas will
make for its support For forty years we
have paid our proportion of the costs of

other constant heavy OUTLAWS without

FOR PEACE IN LUZON.
Friend of Filipinos Issues Christmas
Appeal to the United States.

Philadelphia, Pa. Dec. 24.-Sixt0 LO-
peg, who is in this city upon an Nedu-
cational mission" regarding the Philip
pines, abs sent the following Christmas
letter" addressed to the president and
people of the United States:
when the heart is broken GOD en-
tiers and truth is realized. When peace
reigns in the heart truth is also per-
ceived. It is at this season of peace
and good will, when the hearts OF men,
freed from the sterner things of daily
life. are softened and drawn together
when all mankind is under the infiu-
ence of the Prince of Peace, that wish
to make an appeal on behalf of our
sorely stricken people.
AT this season of peace I plead for
peace. I plead ON behalf of the wife
and mother, down whose cheeks are
coursing the silent tears; on behalf of
the maiden who has met with her first
great sorrow: on behalf Of the sad little
faces, too young to realize what has
happened, but who know that the one
who occupied that vacant chair viii
never more return: on behalf of the pa
triots who for good or i'll, have laid
down their lives for their country S
cause; on behalf of the brave soldiers
marching under both flags, and in the
name and for the sake of him, the friend
of the oppressed, who suffered unjust
condemnation as a rebel against the
Lord of Hosts, plead for peace"

others convicted and sentenced for The
same offense and six others are behirsd

shorter terms. Warner and his COM
panfons were shaved, his hair clipped
short and striped clothes were put upon
them as in the case with ordinary male
factors. Strong efforts are being made
to induce Governor Smith to pardon
Warner, as it is generally believed his
offense was more technical than actual
his contention being that he was at
tempting to prevent the trouble rather
than melting it, as was claimed by the
prosecution at the trial.

speech:
I'VE hear a great deal just now in
condemnation and defense of trusts and
combinations. Quite lately q short ar
ticle in opposition TO them, was sent me
which 1 was informed was the result of
much thought on the part of an able
thinker. AS I glanced on it my eye fell
on a description Of a community of peo-
pie whose wants were supplied by
tradesmen and craftsmen who were
their neighbors- They dealt together as
friends interested in each others well
fare and willing to yield something to
each others circumstances.
This description was followed by an
arraignment of trusts and combinations
as destroyers of this happy situation by
first monopolizing certain branches of
the business done in the communities,
and then displacing with their stranger
agents and representatives the dealers
and craftsmen who were neighbors and
friends -
