Simpsons two young sons, Ralph and
Harold Sampson; DR.. Dixon, the at
tending physician, and nurses and at
tendaHts.
William T. Sampson was born in Pal
myra county, N. Y, on February 9, 1910
Up to the time of the outbreak of the war
with Spain he was comparatively unknown
outside of naval circles He received most
If his education as naval cadet at Annapolis
He served during the civil war on the old
Patapsco, which formed part of the block
aiding squadron at Charleston in 1864. After
the war Sampson was detailed for service
at the Naval academy and remained there
from 1868 to 1871 as head of the department
of chemistry and physics. Then for sew
eral years he was attached to the Congress-
but his first command was the Alert, to
which he was assigned with the rank of
commander in 1871. From 1876 to 1878 he was
again at the Naval academy, and ten years
later he became the superintendent of the
institution and maintained a high state of
discipline. He was promoted to captain
in 1889, and the next year he placed in
command of the cruiser San Francisco. Aft
er the breaking out of the Spanish war
Sampson was given command of the North
Atlantic station, and he blockaded the ports
of Cuba with his squadron, being joined in
| this work by the flying squadron under
Rear Admiral Schley, who was next in
command to him The details of the con-
troversy in regard to the credit for the de-
struction of the Spanish warships are fresh
| in the public mind.]

FARM TELEPHONES.
That They Are Multiplying in All
Parts of the Country Is Pleas
ing Sign of Progress,

Some of our readers have lately
of the telephone. They save many a
long, hard drive in the cold. One
farmer arranges to go to the post of
fee, to the store or neighboring vii
lage or railway station for the neigh
borhood and so half days work or
more is saved to man, for men and ami
mails. 1t is economy in time, in wear
and tear of carriage, in the exposure
and use of horses, and in ways too
numerous to catalogue.
But one of the chief uses of the farm
telephone, as we conceive it, is in its
social benefits. 1t brings the people
in touch. What one knows of impor-
lance can be known by all. If there
is a farmers institute, a lecture, a
meeting of the lodge or grange, par
ty or social event of any kind, the fact
is easily communicated. This gives a
real, live, friendly social touch. You
are no longer an isolated family, left
out in the cold; you belong to COM
munity. You are not whitening away
or rusting out in a rural or pioneer
home, but you are in healthful contact
with those who sympathize with you
and are ready to lend helping hand
if you need it. You may not need it,
but the knowledge that you can have
it and that you are a living part of a
modern, civilized, Christian commune
ty is a source of comfort and of equa-
nimity which has its own value
Dollars and cents do not make up
the whole of life. Why do Americans
flock to the cities? One reason is that
they feel the need of the social con-
tact and the various privileges which
come from community life. If our
wives and daughters will be made hap
pier, if the killing isolation can be
overcome and our families be brought
more into organic connection with the
great live world, it would be worth
more when a life's history is written
than anything that can be computed
in money.-Farm, Field and Fireside.

CHAPTER XVIII.

ON THE BOSOM OF THE DEEP.
The ark was rudderless, oarless and
machineless, and could travel only
where the high gods chose. The in
side was dark, and full of an ancient
smell, and crowded with groanings
and noise. l could not find the fire
box to relight the fallen lamp, and
so we had to endure blindIy what
was dealt out to us The waves tossed
US in merciless sport, and [ chung on

and that was Ylga. She came out to
the side of the ark, and leaned up and
cried me a farewell through the gath
ering roar of the flood.

your stamp, Deucalion, and you will
never forget that you came very near
to loving me once"
think, too, she said something fur
Their, concerning Nais, but the below
ing rush of the waters drowned all
other words. A great mist made from
the steam sent up by the swamped
burning mountains stopped all accur-
ate view, though the blaze from the
fires lit it like gold. But l had a last
sight of a horde of soldiery rushing
up the slopes of the mountain, with
scum of surge billowing at their
heels and licking many of them back in
its clutch. And then my eye fell on old
Zaemon waving to me with the symbol
to shut down the door in the roof of
the ark.
/ obeyed his last command, and went
down the stair and closed all ingres
behind me. There were bolts placed
ready, and / shot these into their sock
cts, and there were Nais and l alone
and cut off from all the rest of our
world that remained.
l went to the place where she lay
and put my arms tightly around her

| ings. The end was coming very near
| to them now, and the great crowd OF
| them were mad with terror.
l would have given much to have
| known how Phorenice Jared in that
| final tumult, and how she faced it,
could see her, with her lovely face and
her wondrous eyes, and her rudy hair
| curing about her neck, and by all the
gods! [ thought more of her at that
| last moment than of the pool land she
| had conquered and misgoverned an6
brought to this horrid destruction
There is no denying the fascination
| which Phorenice carried with her.
But the end did not daily long with
its coming. There was a little surge
that lifted the ark a hands breadth OF
so in its cradle, and set it back agair
with jar and a culver. The blows
! from axes and weapons ceased on its
lower part, but redoubled into frenzied
gatherings on its rounded roof. There
| were some screams and cries also
which came to US but DULY through
the thickness of its ponderous sheath
ing, though likely enough they were
sent forth at the full pitch of human
lungs outside. And then another surge
came, roaring and laundering, which
picked up the great vessel as though
it had been feather, and spun it gid
| Oily; and after that we touched earth
| or rock no more.
We tossed about on the crest and
troughs of delirious seas, sport fol
the greedy gods of the ocean. The
lamp had fallen, and we crouched there
in darkness, duly weighed with the
burden of knowledge that we alone
were saved out of what was yesterday
a mighty nation.

the bed. We did not speak much, but
there was full companionship in our
bereavement and our silence.
When Atlantis sank to form new
ocean-bed, she left great whirlpools
and spoutings from her drowned fires
| as a feeting legacy to the gods of
the sea. And then, I think Though
in the black belly of the ark we
could not see these things), vast
hurricane of wind must have come
on next so as to leave no piece of the
desolation incomplete. For seven
nights and seven days did this dread
full turmoil continue, as counted for
us afterwards by the reckoner of
hours which hung within the ark, and
then the bowling of the wind depart
ed, and only the roll of a long still
swell remained. It was regular and
it was oily, is [ could tell by the diff
ference of the motion, and then for
the first time I dared to GO up the
stair and open and found the gate they
bit against was deserted.
The sweet salt air came gushing
down to freshen the foulness within,
and as the ark rode dryly over the
seas, | went below and brought up
Nais to gain refreshment from the
curing rays of our Lord the Sun. Duly
the pair of US adored him, and gave
thanks for his great mercy in COM
ing to light another day, and then we
laid ourselves down where we were
to doze, and take that easy rest which
we so urgently needed.
Yet, though l was tired beyond
words, for long enough sleep would
not visit me. YEARLY stared out over
the oily sun-lit waters. No blur of
land met the eye. The ring of ocean
was unbroken on every side, and over
head the vault of heaven remained I'M
changed. The bosom of the deep was
Uttered with the poor wreckage of
Atlantis, to remind one, if there had
been need, that what had come
about was fact, and not some horrid
dream. Trees, squared timber, a
smashed and upturned boat of hides,
and here and there the rounded corpse
of man or beast shouldered over the
sweils, and kept convoy with our ark

and the current.
But sleep came to me at last, and l
dropped off into unconsciousness,
holding the hand of Nais in mine, and
when next / woke | found her open
