AN UNUSUAL CALLING.
Young Woman of California Who Is
a Steam Pilot.

Denver Times: Thoroughness in fit
ting ourselves for d vocation, and
faithfulness in discharging its duties,
are the two qualities most likely to
bring Us to success, granting that we
have to start with some talent or in
clination for the calling we have
chosen. Confirmation of this state
ment is found in the story OF young
California woman, who is thought to
be the only woman steam pilot in the
world.
For generations the home of the
family has been at Marblehead, Mass,
but Miss Vincent left the old home to
keep house for her two elder brothers.
who went to California to engage in
the new industry of sardina packing on
the Pacific coast. Financial reverses
came upon them. and it became neces-
sary for Miss Vincent to make living
for herself.
She had always lived by the sea at
Marblehead and had been with an un-
Gle for DAYS at a time on small steam
craft of which he was the engineer.
From her girlhood she had known how
machinery in small propeller steam
boats is operated, and she had many
times tried her hand at plotting for her
uncle. So. when financial clouds low
cred above her Miss Vincent resolved
to become a pilot in the harbor of San
Pedro. She studied navigation, learned
the laws Of pilotage, and meanwhile
earned some money as pilot for lit
tie tug in the harbor AT the conclusion
of her studies she passed the examina-
ton required by the state board of
pilot commissioners, and received a
certificate as secondclass pilot.
She has in the past few months pilot
ed Pacific coast ships into San Diego
and San Pedi . harbors. She is earn
ing good living, and hopes that in a
few wears she will become so expert
that she wi be able 10 do first-class
plotting in San Francisco bay.
Such pluck and perseverance deserve
the reward of success.

600, 900, and hence the unexpended bal
ance. The commissioner does not ex-
plain this on the theory that the num-
her Of pensioners is lessenirg very rap
idly, but says: If the pensions issued
by my department during the year ex-
ceeded the sum given me by congress
the deficiency would have to be made
good the next year. II 1t did not use
up the entire appropriation, | would
turn it back into the treasury. The
amount of money at my disposal cut
no figure in the work OF my bureau,
and every man who was entitled to a
pension during the past year has re-
ceived it. 1t seems that | have $1,000
900 left this year. Next year may be
s., 900 900 short" That depends, OF
course. somewhat upon the amount Of
the appropriation.

CLOTHES AND CONSUMPTION.
Reasons Given by Governor of Tu-
tuila for Prevalence Of Disease

New York World: Our naval COVER
nor of Tutuila Samoan Islands) re-
ports that consumption, almost un-
known among the natives before civil
cation broke out among them, is now
destroying them in large numbers as
this and other diseases Of civilization
destroyed the greater portion OF the
Sandwich Islanders.
He explains his belief that our civil
ization tends to pulmonary disease by
saying that before the Samoans made
our acquaintance they went about
with barred breasts, smeared with CO.
coanut oil as protection against the
rain" which rolled OF them as easily
as the provcrbial water of ducks
back Now that they wear white
mems clothing they get drenched and
catch cold. Just as white men do.
Our naval governors interesting re-
suggest the expediency of teaching the
Samoans to carry umbrellas, wear ram
coats and rubbers, and change Their
clothing when they get soaked dan
of which would extend civilization ana
stimulate trade to follow the flag.
On second Enthusiastically the
best-it seems to suggest rather that
white men should stop wearing SO
many clothes and go about with breasts
dressed only with cocoanut oil, and SO
abolish consumption. But this IDEA
harmonizes so poorly with the highest
object OF civilization--which Is to car
ry cotton and wooden cloths, shoes, SIN
hats and neckties to all the people "no
sit in undressed darkness-that w
hesitate to press 1t.

Compton shivered slightly. His
voice was firm. but so low that the
two inspectors could hardly catch the
words.

guilty. The less fuss there's over 1t
the easier 1t will be for-for-others.
His voice broke on the last word. The
inspectors instantly suspected that he
was shielding the real culprit. Smith
acted quickly. He laid his hand cordi-
ally on Compton's shoulder.
See here. Compton. we can't be-
lieve this of you. It's our duty to
place you under immediate arrest, but
we're going to give you another
chance. We're going to investigate
further and we ask only your word
that you won't jump the town."
The old man seemed terror stricken.
He avowed his guilt in piteous tones
and begged to be arrested. But Smith
and Rugby were firm, and sent him
from their presence lettering, sob

For the next few days, while John
went over his route like one in a
dream Rugby investigated the life of
the old carriers daughter. He quickly
discovered that she dressed far above
her station and income, and INDUCED
in several expensive vices. Marked
bills were traced directly to her, and
when taxed by Rugby, she broke down
and confessed. Every morning when
her father stepped into the kitchen for
the cup of coffee, which seemed to
strengthen him during the remainder
of his route, she had rifled the mall
bag as it hung on the entry rack. Rug
by and his chief realized that the dis
grace of the daughter would be as
fatal to the old man as his own arrest,
and for once they failed in their Of
fetal duty. They forced the woman
to sell her jewels, which were one Of
the passions of her life. With the
proceeds they made good the losses OF
the Nelson company.
She had been recklessly mad for
money, and had neither thought nor
cared for the gray-haired man, who
fairly worshipped her, and was will
ing to go to prison for her sake. But
now she seemed to dread the sight of
his white hair, the loving gaze In his
eyes. She finally went to Denver. os-
tepsibly to visit friends. She never
came back Old John, who had been
simply told that the real culprit had
been discovered. lived on the letters he
received from Denver. If he realized
that the inspectors knew the truth he
never gave any evidence of the fact. He
died before the daughter, who had
plunged into reckless dissipation in the
far West and had sunk too low to
write the longed-for letter. and he new
er knew that strange hands, the hands
of men who worked with and loved
him, would at last lay him to rest and
rear the shaft above his lonely grave.
