breeches, exactly as the other dignitaries.

owned and managed steamers for many
years, and have record for having made
the best tine ever accomplished by ship
between San Francisco and Panama
At this point in the narration Of his
adventurous career the captain was asked
by a friend to recount his experiences
with rats in his old sailing days. but on
his declining, the friend volunteered to
tell 1t himself.
"I was sitting on the wharf In San Fran
cisco one morning a good many years ago,
talking to a sad-eyed son of the sea, who
knew every ship In the harbor like
book, when suddenly three-legged rat
came sneaking around the corner OF
bale of hay. He made dash across the
open space left for teams and vanished
in pile Of bran. minute later sec

quota of legs, but his tail was gone. II
looked as though we had got into the ac-
cident ward Of a rat hospital, and I was
astonished to hear my sailor friend re-
mark: These must be some of Ber-
minghams rats In explanation he said:
You see, Birmingham never likes to
leave any freight on the dock SO long as
there is room in the cabin for a sack Of
-four or box of butter, and the result
is he loads UP his steamers SO full that
when they get out into the rough water
they strain and the seams open and close
with the roll Of the vessel. The rats get
