TALE Of THE SEA
SEVERE ORDEAL OF PASSENGERS
OF THE STATE OF Me-
BRASkA.
Swept by Gales and Seattle Vessel
Rolled and Lifted to the Seas or
Plunged Into Them-Made Only
Three Knots an Hour.

New York, Dec. 26.-It was more
than a merry Christmas for the 10
passengers on the belated Allan state
liner State of Nebraska. Nineteen days
out from the Cly,ir. eight days over
due. the Nebraska Crept into port
with demolished lights and broken and
twisted rails.
1t was the first clear day the voy,
when the Nebraska steamed out of
Neville, Ireland. in the face of a gale
that swept her decks.
On board the Allan state liner when
she left Glasgow on December 9, were
ten saloon, thirty second cabin and
seventy steerage passengers.
Horrors of the Voyage.
Officers and passengers declared the
wreckage on deck gave but a faint idea
OF the horrors of the voyage. Three
times the machinery broke down and
the vessel had to be hove to.
Gales and head seas swept the ship
from h moment she left Neville at
midnight of December II. the feed
pipes of the engine gave out three
hours. headed into the seas washing
over her.
1t was at this time that a wave
smashed the two lighthouses contain
ing the side lights. The vessel was
rolling and lifting to the seas or plung-
ing into them. The steerage passen-
gers were all in terror and the cabin
voyagers chung to their berths. The
feed pipes were repaired and improvis-
ed side lights placed.
Only Three Knots an Hour.
The engines could not force her for.
ward at more than three knots an hour.
Sometimes she moved less than two
knots. Two of the lifeboats on the port
side forward were smashed to splint-
ers on December IS. The vessel log
ged but fifty miles for that twenty-four
hours and for six days she made less
than ninety miles.
The engines had to be stopped on
the 18th to cool some ~overheated 1ourn-
ais, and the ley day the main steam
pipes gave so much trouble anothe,
stop had to be made.
The only one of the crew injured in
the long voyage was William Thomp.
son. a fireman, who was hurled against
the deck rails and had two ribs frac.
tured.
Captain David Ingram of Vancouv-
cr, who has circled the globe twice.
was one of the passengers. He said
that three times the voyagers felt that
all hope was gone. Not a meal could
be served in the saloon during the voy-
age.

ed by the police and the authorities
down there. The horse was found af.
ter neighbors had noticed a strange
man coming from the barn in the early
morning. BY identification on the part
of Frank Glenn Of this city. it was prov.
en- that the animal was not the horse
which was seer in Omaha, but as the
animal has been advertised under big
headlines and no owner found. it is be-
lieved to have been ridden across the
ferry at P%lattsmouth by one of the kid
napers. who slept in the barn over
night and left his horse behind. The
animal will be brought to Omaha.
Mr.. Cudahy expresses himself as
pleased with the progress of the case,
and believes that the kidnapers will be
apprehended. He makes a denial of
sensational threats he Is reported %
have made in certain dispatches. Both
Mr.. Cudahy and the police have been
receiving letters from "Eloise T." who
has been writing from Cincinnati, ask
ing why the police think Pat Grove is
n Of the kidnapers, by what law he
could be punished, etc. The letters
are written on Windsor hotel station
cry, Omaha, two months old, under a
former management. The letters have
apparently been mailed to Cincinnati
from here and remailed by a confeder-
ate. Other letters are from cranks and

hunt. and it's going to be an interest
ing one. Our primary purpose will be
to hunt the mountain lion. although we
will run across and engage a few bears
on the way. We will hunt in Coyote
basin. which has been absolutely free
from men with guns this year. and
there ought to be plenty of fierce game
in that section. We will remain in the
mountains about three weeks and will
take a dozen pack horses. loaded with
provisions and supplies for that length
of time. While it has been a remarka-
hly open winter. the recent frOsts have
brought ice on the trails and we will
have to have the horses shod in accord

obstruct his path.
Fighting Dogs Selected.
For trailing | will use a mixed breed

purposes. however. we will have to use
half bulldog and half shepherd. They
combine qualities which enable them to

NEVER SAW AN UMBRELLA.

How the Irish Peasant Proposed to
Get it out of lis Hut.
Old Mike and his wife lived in little
cabin on the mountain, one of type
which is happily every day becoming
more and more rare. The walls were
of mud and the floor of the same use
full material, with a gutter running
down the middle to divide the family
apartments from that of the domestic
animals. To this mansion came his
reverence once cold, snowy morning In
March to hold station. His umbrella
was wet and dripping, so, being care
full man, he placed it, open, in the space
vacated by the animals, who were graz
ing outside. After the usual devotions,
when the congregation had dispersed,
he went for Stroll while Moira pre-
pared breakfast, for to entertain his
reverence afterward is the crowning
honor of station. He had not gone
far when a heavy shower obliged him
to take shelter under tree and send a
little gossoon running back for his um-
brella.
His reverence is afther sending me
to bring his ombrell," said the boy,
bursting into the cabin.
1.-THE saints preserve us!" said Mike.
Maybe it's the thing he left beyant in
the corner" and seizing the umbrella
he tried to pass through the door, but
the entrance was low and narrow and
the umbrella large and wide. Without
moments hesitation he caught up a
spade and began shoyeling down the
wall at either side of the door.
MAN alive said the priest, appear
ing on the scene, what are ye at?'
..Shure, it's maxim way l am for yer
riverence's ombreIl," said old Mike;
'.divil bit of it'll go through at all, at
ALL" 'Ah, nonsense, man." said his
reverence, laughing, and stepping in
side he took the umbrella out of Moira's
hand and closed 1t before them.
Old Mike stared at it aghast Then
he turned to his wife. "Glory be to
God, Moira,' he said, sis there any
thing beyant the power Of the priestT'

Toms and other old-time authorizations
of boys front names are disappearing
from among the youths of the present
tive Jimmy, Sammy, Billy, ETC., which
time out of mind prevailed among mas
culine youngsters? For some reason
the boys have largely discarded the free
and easy way of addressing one an
other that comes natural to ingenious
youth, substituting for the more rol1.ck-
ing Tom, Dick and Harry, sanctioned
by immortal usage, a sitter form of ad-
dress which does not match well with
the freshness of boyhood. The same
appears to be the case with the female
juveniles. Even among little girls play
ing 'ring-around-rosy,' the Bessies.
Maggies and Katies are disappearing,
giving place to the stilted substitution
of Elizabeth, Margaret, Catherine and
the like. This change has not had its
origin in the volition of either the boys
or the girls. They have evidently been
put up to it, Some higher authority
must be responsible for this priggish-
ness, and from it's general extent it is
likely due to misdirected instruction in
the schools. To no other source could
be attributed expressions now heard
among boys at play, such as Samuel,
do not throw the ball SO hard; William
cannot catch it No boy, who is not a
prig, either by nature or education, but
would say on subject of that kind:
Sam, don't throw the ball so hard; Bill
can't catch it This is as automatically
as correct as the other form and COLO
quially preferable, while devoid of the
stiffness unsuited to youthful express
sion. n."-Philadelphia Record.

There isn't much use talking religion
to man when he has got a boil on
his neck.
The only husbands that are ever
"managed" are the ones that women
talk about, that they don't have.
You can get the truth out Of woman
by flattering her, but to get it out of
man you have to get him scared.
Every fat woman thinks the Turks
are not so bad after all, because she
has heard that they think thin women
are ugly.
Whenever a man and a woman get
married, at least one of them doesn't
do as well as he or she might have done
for himself.
Every woman whose husband can
never pay his debts believes the world
will realize some time what great
man she married.
Lots of women go through liz think
ing that all the other people think they
are artistic simply because they keep
their hair mussed up.
The only difference between a mar

Every woman imagines that some
thing about her is wonderful" Either
she has "wonderful' hair or eyes, or
else she has wonderful talent for
something.
The only advantage there is in the
rainy-day skirt is that the average wo-
man hasn't the nerve to wear it with
the old shoes she wears when she has
got long skirt on.-New York Press.
