Senator Pettus of Alabama is one of
the young octogenarians of the coun-
try. He does not look like a man in
his eighty-frst year. and says he does
not feel half the years he has piled up
to his credit.
An Alabama representative. himself
well along in years, suggested to Mr..
Pettus the other day the possibility
that he might live to be 100 years old.
and asked him II he would consider it
right to hold his senatorship twenty
years longer.
why not!' demanded Mr.. Pettus.
Think of the Others" was the re-
ply. There are a lot of aspiring
youngsters down in our state. Don't
you want to give them a chance?"
"Never thought of that" unused Mr..
Pettus. Say. l tell you what I'll do.
I'll make a trade with you. II you will
die l will resign. ard SO we will give
two of those aspiring youngsters their
political opportunities"
What a noble young man you are.
Pettus:" fervently calculated the gen.
tleman who had been invited to die.

Good story on An Old Time BoHt-

1t is a mistake. according to a well
known young naval officer. to suppose
that the sailors of II present navy

full of old superstitious beliefs as
any OF their ancestors could have
been.
When at sea in a dead calm. the
~ OF the masts in a m%otionless
atmosphere sometimes causes a De-
culiar wailing sound like distant cries.
rms, the old seamen assured us, was
the moaning of the souls OF sailors
lost at sea.
Another one of their pct beliefs Is
ina all sailors that die by drowning
are at once transformed into Cape
horn pigeons, or. as they are also
called. Mother Carey's chickens. Of
ncers are supposed to find their re-
lncarnations in seagulls and news,

are the reasons why sailors never kill
these birds.
Il remember .hat these tales i'm
pressed me a great deal in those days
when | was still a mere boy. On one
occasion | was sitting in the fore
castle on my watch below, chatting
with the boatswain's mate, a real old
timer, when our conversation was in
terrupted by a low wall of agony,
louder than that usually produced by
the wind. We listened in deep, awed
silence.
Boy said the goatswain's mate,
we hear that-that's a seaman's call,
wots been drownded.'
Again the wall disturbed the 81

Yes said the old sailor, in an
anxious whisper. that's some old salt

The Price Of Pearls.

Mr.. Dudley Grote, a prominent jewel
fancier of Paris. threatens the fash
ionable world with a pearl famine. of
all the pearls in the ocean were to be
brought to the surface and offered for
sale Tomorrow says Mr.. Grote. "the
market would o be flooded, nor
would the demand for the delicate
white jewels be satisfied. There has
been a steady increase in the demand
for pearls during the past few years,
and an accompanying falling off in the
supply. The cost has gone up more
than one realizes. and think Is still
below the high-water mark.
Since 1890 the price Of pearls has
doubled. In the past three years 1t has
increased fully 33 per cent. The num-
ber Of oysters brought to the surface
Of the waters of the world averages
So, 900 daily. o than were ever ia
ken out before. and still the supply OF
pearls decreases. When l say supply l
mean the pearls offered for sale to the
public. Personally, I believe the jewels
are being bought up by investors, and
that the bulk of them lever get into
the market. In fact. l know Of sever
al banking houses in London and Paris
that have made considerable money on
pearls during the past decade"
