 some Famous Pilots of the Past.
 Of the famous pilots of the old days volumes might be written. They were a distinct class. of marked individuali- ty, with the common characteristics of great courage. decision and sense of locality. Their handling of boats and knowledge of the river were SO marvellous as to seem intuitive. almost supernatural, to the lay mind. It is a mistake, however. to suppose that in the essentials of their craft they were superior to pilots of the present day. This common supposition no doubt arises from the fact that the old veterans were in the lime light of pub- licity, and that their successors are comparatively unobserved. Now the pilots of the rafting boats receive the highest wages. their maximum of com pensation being in the neighborhood of S2j0 a month.
 When. however. the river was in its full glory, the "crack" pilots who ranked with Scribe Harris, Smith liar ris. 0rin Smith, the brothers Ludwig, Ed. West. and my own boyhood hero, Dan Wright. received from S400 to $500 a month, and lived the lives of nabobs. Many of them vied with the owners and masters of the boats. and some of them were graduated from the wheelhouse into the captains cabin. In the main, however. a pilot lived exclusively in the atmosphere of his craft; he thought plotting, talked piloting, breathed piloting and knew no other element of existence.
 Of the terrible disasters which at- tended river navigation on the Mis- sissippi history has made abundant record. Certainly one of the most dra- matte incidents which took place on the river was the picturesque rout of the Indians by Capt Throckmorton, in the Black Hawk war
 After the engagement of Battle-Ax. when the warriors were swarming on the river between the shore and Battle Island. little below La Crosse. this captain drove his steamboat into their fleet of canoes. the huge paddles of his wheel crushing their frail craft and creating greater havoc among them than the guns of the enemy.
 The fierce engagements of the civil war which took place on the river and along its shores may be left to his tory. with the observation that the outcome of that long and bitter strug- gle might have been far different had it not been for this great waterway and the facilities which it afforded to the army and navy of the north.
 The first steamboat to thread the Mississippi tc' its upper waters was the famous old Virginia, which accom- plished this significant feat in 1893. or 16 years after Fulton had astonished the world with his invention.

SAILORS SAW KING OSCAR.
Ihe Experience of Senator Perkins with Royalty When He Was
 Youth.

In these Prince Henry days every- one who has ever met q royal person. age is talking about it. Even those whose friends have been introduced to kings or princes are doing some talking on their own account That is how the story of the way in which Senator Perkins met King Oscar of Norway and Sweden comes out at this time.
 Senator Perkins has been almost everything in his day, says the New York Tribune. In his own words. he is sailor by profession, merchant by necessity, and a politician by ac- cident. It was while he was a sailor that his Swedish experience came to him. His ship had just brought cargo of cotton to Stockholm, and young Perkins in company with an English sailor named Branscombe decided to visit the royal palace. They crawled into the grounds from a drain pipe and were promptly arrest ed by the Sendarmes. The boys knew no Swedish, their captors no English, and il was beginning to look dark for them when party of distinguished people came along and took an inter- est in their plight.
 What are you doing in the kings park?' asked one of them
 We wanted to see the king and how he lived" answered young Per kins, frankly.
 But don't you know" said the man, ''you might be put into prison for trespass?"
 We don't want to hurt the king" said the affrighted youth. "Only want to see him.
 "I am King Oscar" said the man. and the boys looked their fill. Then the king ordered a soldier to show them through the palace.
 In course of time Senator Perkins became a rich man. Thirty years later he was governor of California. On boarding yacht for cruise one day he came across Harry Brans- comhe, the English sailor who had shared his Swedish experience. The man was still common sailor. but Senator Perkins found better berth for him on one of his own ships.
