trailing limbs, he was carried down
below, and laid in bunk. The deck
was tidied up, the men quietly dis
persed. The routine of the ship went
on as before.
The captain was still on the bridge.
The danger might not yet be wholly
past; and his post was there. Some
thing, it may be, was tugging at his
heartstrings, dragging him below to
his boys side; but he stood firm.
The safety OF. the ship, the lives of
the passengers, were committed to
his charge. There lay his duty.
In the bright sunny morning, when
the passengers strolled up on deck,
there was nothing to- Indicate the
peril they had escaped during the
night. The captains face, perhaps,
was little more deeply lined and a
shade graver than usual. They no.
ticed, too, that as he paced the
bridge he frequently turned glance
aft, as though expecting someone.
Ard presently, as he saw the white
haired doctor coming along the deck,
he quilted his post for a moment,
and met him apart.
"Well?' was all he said.
With hands thrust into his pockets,
his face stern and firm-set as ever,
he listened while the kindly old doc
tor explained to him that there was
little hope of saving his sons life.
He took the blow without fiinching.
They were now in the channel,
with shipping on every side. His
place was still on deck. Without a
word he turned and went back to his
post on the bridge. His usual inn
perative words of command rang out
to the bustling crew.
OF such stuff those that go down
to the sea in ships are made.-Black
and White.

one or two officers, were steadily fight
matches off and were pumping streams
of water down upon the heated cargo.
But that was not enough. Blinded by
the smoke. not knowing where the fire
was seated, they were fighting in tho
dark. 1t was necessary to grapple
with the danger at closer quarters to
get out the smouldering bales before
they burst into flame. Someone must
go downtown there into the foul,
sitting air of the hold the scorching
heat.
And he was ready; young fellow in
the ships uniform, the uniform of an
officer. He had bravely pulled off his
coat, and was binding wet towel
around his mouth and nostrils, while
they fixed sling at the end of a
rope to lower him into that black,
reeking cavity.
Up there, in the darkness of the
bridge, the captain stood and looked
on, looked on. perhaps with
sudden, tighteneing of the heart,
though no trace of it was visible upon
his hard-lined face. 1t was the fourth
officer who was going down; and the
young fellow, though the relationship
was never acknowledged on board ship
it was always captain and fourth Of
fcer-was his own son.
Armed with a lantern, he got into
the sling, and was lowered into the
unseen depths of the hold. And there,
working with feverish energy, he
pulled the cargo about until he got at
the smouldering bales, and attached
them to the tackle which had been let
down to him. One by one they were
hauled up on deck and tossed into the
foaming sea. Not until his work was
done, and he had cleared out every
smouldering bale, was he drawn up
himself-scorched blackened, drip
ping with water, but with ghast-
ly whiteness showing through the
CRIME on his face. No sooner did his
feet touch the deck than he collapsed
fell in a huddled heap before they
could stretch out a hand to his assist
ance.
The doctor pressed forward and
took charge of him. With limp and

MANcHURIA A VAST LAND.
Contains Twenty Millions of People
and is Said To be Carbon spot.

The most populous province Of
Manchuria is that of Laotung, which
is penetrated by the branch railway
from Harbin to Port Arthur. For
distance of 400 miles, extending from
the Sungari river to New-Chwang,
the railroad passes through level,
well watered region, densely crowded
with population and under the high
est state of cultivation.
The total population of Manchuria
is yariously estimated from 100000
to 25,o00,000, but there seems little
doubt that Laoting also has popu-
lation of as much as 12,000,O00, and
that the total cannot be much less
than 20,000Ooo. These, however, are
largely. Chinese.
The ManchuS are n fading race,
their success in arms having. as is
often the case, led to their ultimate
decay, for ever since the establish
ment of the Manchu dynasty at
Pekin, in 1914, they have been drawn
In large numbers to Pekin and to
the garrisons stationed in all the
principal Chinese towns. Here, liv-
ing comparatively idle life and de-
pending largely upon pensions from
the general government for their
support. they have become enervated,
while the quality of those left be-
hind in Manchuria has deprecated in
character The Chinese, on the other
hand, have gradually invaded Man
churia till they carry on nearly all
of it's business and swarm in all the
centers of population. Gradually
they are bringing under cultivation
the vast areas of fertile land which
under thc Manchus had been devoted
to pasture or left to run to waste.

They were stalwart, handsome fellows,
Each man was fresh from school, home,

there was grandeur in the turgid

BRAZILIAN AVOCADOS.
IncrensinG Popularity of the CALI
gator Pear" which Comes TO
This Country.

The increasing popularity of the
avocado, or alligator pear, has brought
the Brazilian variety into great prom
inence of late. As matter of fact, the
fruit is not pear at all, but belongs
to the laurel family. The chief au-
thority on the subject is a picturesque
West Indian who imports these ex-
otto dainties, and who is an enthusiast
on the subject, says the New York
Post.
"The avocado" he said, sis food and
medicine, as well as refreshment
When nature made it she intended il
as the highest development of the
vegetable world. 1t is delicious, but
not cloying. II has its OWN character

other favors. For this reason ii is the
only fruit which can be eaten plain,
with pepper and salt, with lemon Juice

COLER'S RAPID RISE.
Due to His Ability to Grasp Every
New Problem.
New York's Democratic Candidate
for Governor Is an Illinois Prod
uct-His Splendid Record as
city Comptroller.

Bird S. Coler, who was nominated
for governor by the democratic state
convention at Saratoga, n. Y, was
comptroller of New York city under
Mayor Van Wyck, and his record in
that Office made him n gubernatorial
possibility several years ago. He is
a member of the firm of w. n. Coler &
Co., bankers. He was born at Urbana,
ILL.,, 33 years ago.
Since Mr.. Coler has been in public life
he has been well advertised. This in
keen appreciation he has of news" in
the professional sense. When the fight
against the great Ramapo grab of
$200,000,0 600 was on, several years ago,
Coler was cartooned as the David hurl-
ing his sling at the mighty Goliath Of
Graft. When the movement for rapid
transit began to take material shape
it was Coler who championed tunnels
when Van Wycl<, then mayor, tried to
put all the surplus city funds into
bridges. When disclosures were made
rs to the reckless way in which the
Tammany corporation counsel was
confessing judgments and allowing
cases to be settled without trial it was
Coler who went to Albany and secured
the passage of a restraining act.
When the fright over water famine
came, and the demand was made for
new source of supply for New York
city, Coler paid $1,000 from his own
pocket to John r. Freeman, of Provi-
dence, r. l.. to make a survey of all
available water sheds. When the West
street grab" was attempted, by which
private corporation would have en-
circled the water front with freight
railroad, Coler, with his own funds, en-
ployed ex-Judge John +. Dillon to pre-
pare an opinion for presentation at the
hearing before Gov. Odell. During the
four years of his term as a city official

miums from the great soldiers of the
world. He is now serving his last year,
and will he retired during the coming
summer, on account of age. Soon he,
too will he passing over to join the
columns of the vanishing army on the
frontiers of the world of mystery,
where listening love hears only the
rustic of the wings of hope and
brcathes the invisible beckonings of
love returned.
"Forty years ago." says venerable
William T. Turpin, ''the army blue uni
joy and shouts of pride. The first
troops that came to prevent the cap
ture of this city received the welcome
of all the inhabitants. Gradually 9TH
ers came, and soon the streets were
filled with soldiers marching back and
forth. The officers filled the hotel lob
bics, thronged the streets and galloped
hither and yon. They were all busy.
There are as many old soldiers here
now with the blue blouses as there
were at any time during the war, ex-
cepting the grand review; but that
was Immediately after the war. But
the numerous uniforms alone fulfill
the desire of memory.
'This picture is vastly different from
that. Forty years ago very few of the
soldiers were more than. 20 years of
age. Fewer still were over 30. We sell

it into marvellous custard pudding.
The popularity of the pulp is that it
contains a large amount of fixed oil,
which gives it a nutritive value superb
or to the olive and the peanut and
makes it almost equal to the egg.
Though stranger in New York, it
is known and loved in every tropical
and sub tropical city. 1t is grown in
the West Indies, Central and South
America, Hawaii, the far east, north
ern, eastern, and western Africa.
Some enterprising Frenchmen have a
small orchard not far from Palm Beach
on the Florida coast, and in Southern
California there are hundreds uf trees
now bearing. The finest variety is not
the Mexican or Venezuelan, or even the
Chinese, as is claimed by travellers, but
the Brazilian and these the very best
come from the island of Marajo, at the
mouth of the Amazon, just opposite tc

most vitreous green. The skin il very

Duty First"
An Episode at Sea
By JOHN ALEXANDER.

THINGS happen at sea-things
fraught with deadly peril to all
on board-of which the ordinary pas
senger knows nothing at the time;
never gets to hear of perhaps. In the
dead of night, when he is snugly tucked
up in his berth below, Death may come
and take n runaway knock at the ship
without his being one whit the wiser.
The danger is known only to the of
ficers; they see it, realize that an APP
palling disaster may result, and Crap
pie with il, quietly, secretly. For at
such critical moments it is vitality es-
sential that the passengers should be
allowed to retain their sense of secur
ity, lest they break into a mad, IN
thinking paric.
Who knew, for instance, on that
dark night at sea, when the great Cape
liner was heading up the English chan
mel, and her hundreds of passengers
were at rest in their state-rooms, that
a terrible element of destruction had
laid hold on the heart of the ship?
They slept, those passengers, uncon-
scious of the danger; ignorant of the
life-and-death struggle which was be-
ing waged up there on deck. If one
or two happened to be disturbed by
something trailing along above their
heads, they probably turned round in
their berths without giving it sec
ond thought. And yet if they had
known it was fire hose!
Fire: the most appalling, the most
terrifying word that can be whispered
at sea.
1t had broken out in the hold amid
ships. Smoke was oozing in sluggish
wreaths from the matches. The cargo
down there was smouldering. And at
any moment that shoulder might
burst into fierce, ravaging, devouring
flames.
The captain, cool in the presence of
danger, prompt to think and act, had
mounted with steady step to the
bridge and taken charge. The firm-set,
bronZed face of him had looked down
upon many scenes of devastation and
terror when his strong, ruling hand
had made itself felt and quelled the
panic amongst the seething, struggling
mass below. And now, in this sudden
and startling emergency, he had the
same resolute, masterful grip of the
situation.
The ships officers of every grade
were at their posts. Away aft the
purser was on guard at the head of the
saloon stairs ready to reassure any
timorous passengers who might catch
the alarm and induce them to return
quietly to their berths. The doctor
the "father" of the ship by virtue
of his grey hairs-had slipped out on
deck and had made his way forward,
for at sea men do not pause to count
the cost when called upon to face
danger, and his services might be
needed at any moment. There was no
noise, no fuss, no confusion. If an
order came from the bridge it came
in the usual calm, firm tones of COM
mand never once raised above the or
dinary level.
Grouped around the burning hold,
where the lanterns swayed with the
roll of the ship, the men, headed by

A little child. he sobbed and cried.
Because he could not have the moon.
His kind nurse. to console him lied
And said she'd get II pretty soon.
But still above II shone serene;
IL threw its beams his window through
And mocked him with It's silver sheen,
And seemed to say: I'm not for you
1t was so fair, so round and bright
That still for want of II he wept.
They had that trouble every night
Until he got tired out and slept.
Poor little curly-headed lad
To be denied so slight a boon!
II really was almost too bad
He could not have that pretty moon.
But time rolled on. he wlsergrew
When childhood passed and boyhood
came.
He did not want the moon-he knew
Quite well he could not have the same.
But now he has another plan,
And time will prove to him its WORTH
Now grown to be a whiskered man,
1t seems as IL he wants the earth.
