Crew ut Ocracoke Come to Rescue and
Save the Sailors.
New Bern, N. c., Nov. 29.-The
details of disastrous shipwreck on
the North Carolina coast, that of the
two masted schooner Leading Breeze
of Key West, Fla, have just been re-
ceived. The vessel was bound for
Key West, hailing from New York,
with cargo of 200 tons of concrete
stone and an assortment of wrecking
material.
During the big gale of the 23d
the schooner was sighted in distress
from the life saving station at Ports.
mouth, at the entrance to Ocracoke
Inlet. There was a heavy sea and
the gale from the southwest drove
a heavy rain across tho beach and
the fog at the time shut out all view.
Capt. F. G.. Tyrrell of the life saving
station gave orders to run out the
surf boat when at 2:45 p. m. the
lookout through q rift in the fog
bank discovered the ship aground
and lying broadside to the breakers.
The hardy boatmen, stout North
Carolinians, ran the boat into the
boiling sea, put up what sail the life
boat could carry, and bent six long
oars to the task.
There was strong flood tide, a
blasting rain driving against them,
and progress was slow, so that dark
ness began to approach. When only
half way to the wreck several huge
green seas were seen to sweep a.
gainst the schooner and she was seen
to be breaking up and soon was a
mass of wreckage tossing on the
water. 1t was temptation to turn
back but the brave fellows bent to
their oars and kept on to see if any
living person could be found. Their
reward was great, for in a little time
they came upon large section of
the wreck, consisting Of the deck
house Of the ship, and ON this wei e
four men, the entire crew. They
had lashed themselves to the sky
light and were still alive and were
taken off into the life boat.
When the vessel went to pieces
the four men had managed to secure
themselves on this part of the wreck
and the tide was floating them to
wards the shore. 1t was near the
height of the food and in a short
time the ebb tide would have carried
them out to sea and to their death.
The life savers reached the beach in
safety and landed with the rescued
sailors who were taken to the station
and given the best of care and at
tention. The schooner is total loss
and the disaster falls heavily on
her captain and owner, B. w. John.
son, as there was no insurance.
There is no better crew of life
savers on the coast than those who
patrol the shore from Ocracoke Inlet

ADS. FOR WOMEN.
Hints of Value to Those Who Would
Win Trade.

Win Trade.
1t is estimated by expert guessers
that SO per cent. of women read ad-
vertisements. If this is the case
then a study of these interesting speci.
mems of humanity will not be value
| less.
Be it far from. me to give an expert
testimony regarding the workings of a
wonau's mind, but my most crafty
ing success has been in writing adver-
tisements which appeal to women.
There are two things which must be
borne in mind by advertisers. They
are that women's sympathy is one of
her weakest points, and the other is
her vanity A noted Frenchwoman
says that fiattery will win woman
when all else fails.
One of the greatest circulars | ever
knew of-great as money maker-be-
gan, Knowing you to be one of those
intelligent women who appreciate how
essential the best flour is to the MAX
ing of good bread" etc. A little gentle
taffy is not the worst thing with the
women.
Then, again, the beginning of an adj
vertisement is very important.
Always show clearly in the first line
just what woman is going to get
out of the adjust where her gain is
to be. She is very busy, and if you
don't happen to strike her squarely be-
tween the eyes you may lose her at
tention.
1t is a great thing also to tell women
the reason for everything. Because"
is very big word in woman's vocab-
ulary.
Try to make advertisements ana
booklets attractive if you wish to ap-
peal to women and never lose sight of
a woman's curiosity. It's better, of
course, to use a cent stamp, but a
woman doesn't treat a circular with
such contempt as you or |, and her
waste paper basket isn't always con-
veniently placed.
Have your clerks learn the name of
each customer as nearly as possible.
Never have them shout ii cut, but in
a quiet voice say, Good morning
Mrs. Jones'" and add little pleasant
remark.
Women like attention Husbands
may forget it sometimes, and if DO
lite remark comes a woman's wav
even If it comes from a clerk, it falls
on fertile ground
Study women.
See why they buy from you and why
they fail to buy.
Experience is good teacher.

II uses of q common

Gut or the queer uses of q common
creature regarded as most potent in
old-time medicine there came the
most surprising and nearly the most
important of inventions. Every
schooiboy knows that a toad can
cause warts or make the COW give
bloody milk, but not everybody knows
that toads are also powerfully
medicinal. 1t is fact. Martin
Luther says so. These are his very
words: Experience has proved the
toad to be endowed with valuable
qualities. If you run a stick through
three toads, and. after having dried
them in the sun, apply them TO anv

Ants on Flowers.

The trouble attributed to the poor
little ant is falsely charged. In many
instances where they have infested
plants in large numbers there has
been found sort of aphis on the
plant This deposits sweet. sticky
substance on the plants that is itself
attractive to the ants, and they often
make a raid on the aphides and kill
them. that they may be able to
devour, as sole owners, the fluid that
is stored somewhere about their
bodies.
The ant seldom Injuries a plant. al.
though generally charged with all
sorts of iniquIty in this direction. Or
the contrary, they often do GOOD work
in Kidding the plants of the aphides.

away the sap which is the life of the
plant. Instead, therefore, of advising

SOME ODD WAGERS.
Queer Contests in Which Royalty
Took an Active Part.

An Englisho magazine has publish
ed an article devoted to odd wagers.
APPARENTLY with a view to putting an
end to the fiction that women cannot
shop as expeditiously as men. we'll
known woman novelist unde rtook
lately to drive through several London
streets, stop at every milliner's shop
on the route, but some articles at
each, and return to her house in the
space of an hour and a half. the re-
ceipt for each article purchased to be
produced, not necessarily for filing,
but as guarantee of good faith. She
won her wager, but only with few
minutes to spare.
"Old Q"-the famous Duke of
Queensberry-had an extraordinary
fertil imagination for weird and novel
contests. Passing wheelwright's
shop one day, he noticed one of the
workmen trundling big wheel into
the yard. The man was running at a
good pace, and it Immediately oc-
CURED to "Old @" that here was an
opportunity for an absolutely novel
competition. After some conversa-
tion with the wheelwright, he learned
that a man could probably run faster
with a wheel than without one, the
wheel no doubt acting as a sort of
pacemaker. Having obtained this
valuable information. the duke
promptly arranged a match between
the wheelwright and a certain fleet
footed barber of Oxford street, and
offered substantial prize to the win
ner. The conditions were that the
wheelwright should trundle one of the
back wheels of the dukes carriage,
while the barber. of course, should
run unincumbered. The wheelwright
won easily.-Louisville Courier Jour
nal.

Oh, | saw her at the time of the SOW
ing Of the grain
The April sun had broken through
filmy mist of rain,
And little wind and sweet
Swayed the grasses at her feet
AS | turned to look and turned to
smile and turned to look again;
And said, How good thing
Is the promise of the Spring."
At the time of the sowing of the grain.
Oh, kissed her at the time of the
growing of the grain
Her laugh was like the melody that
threads the lark's refrain;
Bud and blossom everywhere
Sent their perfume through the air
And the branches bent above her
Where the ripening fruit was lain;
And | said, 10, love hath grown
Like the seed thy hand hath sown!
At the time of the growing of the
grain.
Oh, won her at the time of the now
ing of the grain
We guided DER the empty fields the
heavy-laden vain,
And my life was like to sing
With the joy of harvesting!
oh, loves sowing, nor his growing
nor his moving was in vain.
And | said. "Give thanks, my heart,
For the store that is thy part"
At the time of the moving of the
grain.

BACHELORS WANT WIVES.
New England Spinsters Respond tc
Expressed Desire.

Seven men, employed in and about
Van Meter, Pa, placed the following
advertisement in several of the local
papers about a month ago:
"Wanted-A wife. In view of the
facts that the Arizona man who recent
ly advertised in the Pittsburg papers
for wife received so many responses
we deem it advisable to do likewise
The undersigned would like to meet or
correspond with young ladies with
view to matrimony. What we desire
in them can not be expressed here on
account of the diversified opinion of
the subscribers as to what constitutes
a good wife. But we guarantee our
sincerity and can each furnish a good
home"
The advertisement was signed by w.
A. Williams, j. w. McLain, David
Rayen, John Valentine, D.. C. Nor
row, A. Hanko, and Jones McLain
Three of the men are employed on the
Pittsburg, McKeesport & Youghiog-
heny railroad, two of them work in the
mines at Van Meter. the other two are
spectators in coal Of the seven,
John McLain is the best supplied with
this worlds goods. He is As years of
age, and is the oldest of the lot. The
men were all said to be steady and
sober.
The rather limited circulation of the
newspapers in which they advertised
made quick results impossible, but
the news of this longfelt want at Van
Meter has gradually filtered through
to the outside world, and a rich har-
vest of replies is now being reaped.
The newspapers that published the adj
vertisement are deluged with inquiries,
some coming from as far west as st.
Louis, two from Cincinanti, more than
dozen from Chicago, several from
New York city, and few from the
southern states.
But the spinsters of New England
have been most ready to reply, their
applications being sufficient in bulk
to fill peck measure. The postmaster
at Van Meter burns much midnight oil
in replying to the queries of fair ones
who have selected him as their inter-
mediary source of information But he
has friendly interest in the success
of this strange advertising exploit,
and every letter received by him has
been promptly and fully answered.
Several of the men show signs of
having landed the prize sought, new
having come to adorn
their bachelor quarters and look of
expectancy having settled on their
faces. 1t is said that if the seven men
are successful in securing life part
ners they will arrange to have the
weddings take place at the same time
and place, to be followed by banquet
at Van Meters best hotel, to which no
invitations will be issued, but the
doors opened wide to all their friends

After supper he was allowed to take

tween linen sheets.

Ralph Strop, a little boy from the
mountains, who can neither read nor
write, though he is IA years old, who
has never been at school a day in his
life, and is as ignorant of tn ways of

but not handsome. His ears stand far

and growing up in the mountains, he
never before saw a larger town than
Gold Hill. His eyes opened wide

prise finally developed into fright The
sights of a great city were too much
