One summer a number of years ago
Amos Cummings passed two weeks
on n pilot boat and took Ernest Jar
rold, the author of Mickey Finn
Idylls," with him for company. one
day a great storm arose, and the pilot
boat was tossed about on the waves
Ike n chip. Every minute n wave
would dash over the deck and threaten
to carry everything away and swamp
the boat. Cummings and Jarrold were
in the little cabin, the former lying
In a bunk intently reading a book on
the French revolution. Jarrold poked
his head out to look at the storm,
when n mountain of sea water fell
with a boom on the deck and filed his
eyes with spray. The boat gave n
fearful lurch and carccncd until 1t
seemed that she must turn completely
over.
This is awful, Amos" said Jarrold.
I'm going to put on a life preservcr,
for ! don't think the boat can stand
1t many minutes longer"
"Oh, keep quiet, and let me read,
Mickey" said Cummings, never lifting
his Eyes from the page. "The men
on this boat draw n regular salary to
keep her enthusiastically Evening

Wire Tanning.

The tapping OF a telegraph wire IL a
modern form OF highway robbery. In
the old days the method was TO way
lay the courier on the road and to rob
him Of his purse or OF his message.
The formula Of the modern highway
man Is not stand and deliver!' but
simply "Deliver" And he may get a
message from the lightning courier
which may be worth more to him than
a well filled purse.
But there is nothing to be gained by
indiscriminate tapping. 1t Is some
special message or information that
the thief is looking for, possibly for its
effect on the stock market or on other
business ventures. But the use OF CT
pher codes renders the tapping Of tele-
graph wires of little avail even in time
Of war unless the code as well as the
message has been stolen.
For the tapping OF power or light
lines the modern highwayman comes
In out OF the rain. He "a do his busi-
ness better indoors by attacking the
electric meter, confusing It's calcula-
lions and thus getting more current
than he pays for. Such at least seems
TO be the implication Of recent statutes,

Two Of NRst's Faces,

William NJ. Tweed was n portly man
Of medium size. With n long, pcndulous
nose, little porcinc eyes, fat dropping
cheeks md n straight, firm mouth that

outlines of his face were those OF n

trait.

To prove at what date the first UNI
brella was made is a seemingly hope
less task, but we find records OF their
use among the Greeks and Romans
not alone as a protection from sun or
rain, but as a distinguishing mark of
royalty. BY the time Of Queen Anne's
reign they had become quite common
simply as n protection, but they were
all imported until about 1902, when
the manufacture Of them vas begun in

Instead Of going to their work one
Monday a number of workmen entered
a public house determined to spend the
day there.
About noon a woman looked In and
said, addressing one Of the party:
II supposed you are not coming home
to dinner today, SO ! have brought you
your share"
So saying, she placed a dish and plate,
carefully tied up. In front Of the topper
and went away.
