pLUcKY LITTLE FERRY MAID.
She Has the Most Popular Boat on the
River and She's but 16.

From the pittsburg chroniele-Telegraph
Young in years, but full of vigor and
buoyancy of youth, pretty Bertha Walz, a
girl of sixteen, has a career as a ferry
maid on the Ohio River that for the nov
city of its features is rarely surpassed.
For months the young girl has been the
sole support Of her mother, younger sis
ter. and brother Week in and week out,
unaided and alone, she has piled her big
ferry skiff back and forth across the Ohio
to secure means for providing for her
helpless mother and sister
Bertha lives with her mother in an old,
but neat appearing hOuse-bOat, on the
banks of the Ohio River, near the Pressed
Steel Car Company's works, in Lower
Allegheny. This boat has been her home
for the past SIX years.
The idea of running a regular ferry
came to her through the suggestions of
mill men who cross the river at this point
to the McKees Rocks side TO and from
their work in the big mills.
Partly through the efforts of generous
contributors a skiff yas procured and the
girl entered upon new careeer She
found her task rather arduous at first,
and her fair young hands were covered
with many blister at the end OF a days
IOu. But SDOi the LlustltS u HtI GtIIs
bade fair to rival those of the crack oars
nan of a varsity crew. Now she thinks
nothing of rowing six or eight stalwart
men over the river on a single trip. Some
days she makes as many as forty trips,
and has been known 10 take in as much
as s. day as a result of her toll.
The widespread popularity Of her ferry
however aroused the ire of less favored
ferrymen living in shanty boats near BY.
First, her best skiff was stolen, and later
a new one was turned loose on the river
Finally, she was not permitted to land
her skiff on the McKees Rocks shore at
the large landing, but was made to run
her boat in at some obscure point. Con-
siderable trouble arose over the owner
ship and use of a pair OF wooden steps
leading down the river embankment 10
the shore. The climax was reached one
night last week. Richard Griffeths, a
feTryman, tried to lay violent hands on
her Only the timely appearance Of a
mill man and the presence of her faithful
dog, which usually accompanies her for
protection. saved her from serious injury
at his hands. AS a result, suit was
promptly entered against GTiffeths on a
charge of disOrderly conduct before Al
derman Lynch. At the hearing Grifeths
was fined so and costs or twenty days in
Jail. The steps claimed by Griffeths as
personal property were declared 10 be
government property, and IL was decreed
that the fair prosecutor was fully entitled
TO their use.

been interrupted by the death. Il is a
beautiful thought that you and / to-day

ChTistliness OF the life which God has
taken. AS we stand IN the presence Of
our honOred dead and before the memory
Of this noble life. who of US are willing
now, In new purposes of truest living, TO
be baptized for the dead? Aye. baptized
into the noble spirit, the Christlike liv-
ing, the unfaltering service of this hero
Of faith? Surely this is the real lesson
with which this brief life review must
close. Let our. prayer ascend that many
among the officers and men in the service

the young men of this land, even to-day
as they contemplate a noble and Christ
Ike life, may in some secret and sacred
anOinted be baptized for the dead"

Many fond goodbys were said as the

mothers and fathers waved handkerchiefs
in regret.
A young man. bearing 4 soiled satchei

boarded the boat and sought a secluded
corner. AS the steamer passed the break

scenery.
A young man at his elbow looked up
