HUNTING THE NORTH STAR.
THE REAL CAUSE OF ALL THE ANXIETY
ON BOARD THE GERMAN STEAMER
HOOFPRINTS SPILLHELM.

The perils Of the deep are much overrated,
everybody knows who attends 70 statistics. Now
and then a collision occurs at sea, and every
body who has anything to do with it is sorry
that it happened, but it has been a. good While
now since any serious disaster has befallen any
first class passenger ship through mere Stress ot
weather There have been terrible storms and
tidal waves and no end Of discomfort and all
that sort Of thing but the elements have been
remarkably sparing of human life eff late years.
Therefore persons who cross the ocean on the
big liners should try not to be babies.
When the great German steamer footprints
SpiIlheIm chat was not her real name) made
her maiden trip few weeks ago she met with
pretty tough weather, and the passengers Of the
sort that go to suppOsing that the officers
of the ship are as inexperienced as themselves
got into the usual state Of despair. There was
who was particularly scared There
was also on board man who had crossed on
ships of the same line many times before. and
was acquainted with the officers and he pre-
served reasonable coolneSs
When the storm was at It's height and there
was great discomfort but not a ghost Of a
danger, the scared could stand it no longer
and begged the reasonably cool man TO tell him
what the true state Of the case was, and whether
there was a fair chance Of the ships getting
TO port-any port. There's real danger
said the reasonably cool man, automatically,
and il wouldn't be any use to alarm the pas
sengers-hi. that a big one, wasn't it,
The scared man urged that he was most
anxious to know the whole truth. and that tell
ing him wouldn't be telling the passengers. He
took the reasonably cool man TO his own room.

4 DRUGGISTS NEW WAY OF PLEASING HIS
CUSTOMERS.
When a druggist tells about the unpleasant
features OF his business ne never fails TO men
ton the stamp customers. They ask TO be wait
ed upon at times when there IS more profitable
business in sight, and many Il them demand
more attention and take " more OF the drug
gist-s time than people who come 10 buy fancy
articles OF to have prescriptions compounded.
TIE stamp customer IS looked upon as nuisance
until the rival drug store becomes q su5-station
of the posto-lee Then the druggist begins to
realize that tho p--s who buys stamp may
want = piece of soap ur a toothbrush, OF bottle
Z something on which there is druggists mod
est profit. Then ~ often puts a sign in his
window by which his n~iEhaors may see that he
carries q full line Il postage stamps and postal
cards that his directory IS always al the service
Of the public ana that incidentally he com
pounds prescriptions carefully
one euterIrisirs druggist In the upper part OF
the city has introduced novel feature in his
postage stamp business H keeps he stamps
in compartments which have been favored in
various ways and when customer asks for
stamp he inquiries. What flavor viii you have;
lemon vanilla, wIrtergreen or peppermint?" The
customer usually looks mystihed but soon dis
covers that the stamps are really favored, and
the druggist thinks he has hit upon d way to
retain his stamp business.
