efforts all day long to succor the sur
vivors, the would-be rescuers tele-

Some one proposed this as last re-
sort. 1t seemed like a forlorn hope,
for the nearest station was then at

''Dear! dear! How it rains!' growls little
Jack,
With a froyn and a pout and a gathering
tear.
'Of all the days in the almanac,
To think of its raining to-day. Dear! dear!
There were so many things wanted to do,
There's my brand-new stills that

And my big velocipede, red and blue,
That l never shall get chance to ride.
''If only it hadn't rained! Oh, dear.
It's perfectly dreadful. don't know how
I'm going to stand it, poked up here.
It's just too horribly mean-sO now!'

With her sunny smile, no whit less gay;
And now let me think what l can do,
For l certainly can't go out to-day.

DRUNKEN MAN IN CHURCH.
Preacher Puts a Drunkard Into His
Pulpit as "A Horrible Example.

There was a dramatic scene at the
Presbyterian church in Kolomo, Ind,
the other night, where a revival is in
progress, conducted by Evangelist
Merton Smith, of Chicago. On front
seat near the pulpit sat drunken sa-
loon porter, who had wandered in the
place in a dazed condition. The
preacher was waxing loud and elo-
quent on the temperance question,
when the intoxicated man arose and
in a stentorian tone denounced him
as a scoundrel and liar. A number
of women tainted. Don't take him
out" exclaimed Evangelist Smith, as
the janitor pushed the man towards
the door. 1T is not the man, but the
liquor in him, that speaks. He is no
worse than / was once" With the
sot standing by his side in the pulpit
the minister continued his discourse,
with the living subject for horrible
example. After the outburst the man
repented and wept. 1t was a touching
scene, and there were few dry eyes
in the house.

CLoSENESS PERsONIFIED.
Dreamed He Had to Pay q Dollar for
Cab and Was Afraid to Go
to Sleep Again.

There's good story told of a young fel-
low here noted for his closeness. He went
to spend the night with friend. During
the entire night he betrayed much restless
ness, which kept the host wide awake, and
finally the slumberer betrayed signs of vio-
lent emotion. He's going to have night
mare" said the friend, but he always
grlimbles SO when you wake him up that
! hate to disturb him" He waited awhile
longer, sitting up in bed staring at the mis-
cradle sleeper, and, finally becoming
alarmed, he reused him. He sprang up in
bed, glared wildly around and said:
Where am |? l don't see the Storm"
why, here in my ROOM" said his host,

And the host says he was actually afraid

coupe would come, says the Louisville

of breakers across the decks The
keeper now decided to use the beat.
There were two reefs to pass, over
which the waves were dashing with
frightful fury. The lifeboat crossed
the first one, shipping three seas on
the way; but, the rudder becoming
disabled. the men were obliged to re-
turn. While repairs were being made
another shot was fired over the yes
sci, but no one reached the line.
At daybreak the boat was again
launched, and by strenuous and I'M
daunted eXertions the oarsmen held
to their work, succeeded in crossing
the reefs, alive with foaming break
ers, and got alongside the barge BY
this time the lifeboat was sheathed
with ice, the seas having frozen on
the planking, and being thus weight
ed down, It was considered prudent to
take in only nine of the vessels crew.
With these a start was made for the
shore, which was regained after an
other valiant and perilous passage.
Two more trips were made to the
wrecks by the life-savers, their boat
at times being flooded and partially
beaten back. and once nearly thrown
end over end on the reef. The men
themselves were drenched with icy
water, which made their work much
harder to endure.

railroad offered a special train to
bring the surfmen and their apparatu
to Marquette. As soon as the keeper
received the message, he and his men,
with the life-boat, wreck-gun, and ali
necessary appurtenances, were taken
on the tug, which steamed as fast as
she could to Houghton, where was
waiting train consisting of an en-
CINE, a passenger coach and two fiat
cars 1t took the life-savers but a
short time, with the helpers who vol

board the cars and secure it, after
which the train sped swiftly out into
the night on her merciful errand, fol-

beach, in the wash of the surf, which
was thick with driftwood, the station
crew finally arrived abreast of the
vessels. A throng of people were
there before them, anxiously await
ing their arrival. The bonfres which
had been kept burning gave needed
light to the workers, and, in view OF
the great seas that were tumbling in
1t was thought best to attempt first
a rescue by means of lines. One was
fired over the steam-barge amidships
but it appears that the sailors were
prevented flom getting it by the rush
