PRINCE OUR GUEST.

came up the gangway +.
Admiral Evans was escorted for
ward at once and in the quarters o.
Captain A. Richter, master of the
Kronprinz. he and the prince met.
The prince came forward and taking
the hand of the naval officer shook !.
warmly.

United States is waiting to welcome
you. 1t is my pleasure, sir, to fo:.
mally greet you in their behalf"
Il thank you, sir, and through you
the people of your country" respond

do so with very great pleasure"
Admiral Evans expressed gratiflca-

reror. He presented the members Of
his staff and the prince gave each a
ASoI anu a. COluAol WOlt.
The newspaper correspondents who
are to accompany the prince on his
tour through the country were also
introduced by the admiral. The
prince, who was in excellent spirits,
smiled with the appearance of the
newspaper writer's, and after the for
NAL part Of the presentation said that
he was quite sure that their relations
would be very happy.
After a brief halt the liner moved
ahead and at 10 o'clock was abreast
Of the special squadron off TompkinS
vile. The German standard was run
to the foretop of the Kronprinz and
its appearance gave signal to the
American fleet to salute. The San
Francisco, Cincinnati, Olympia and
Illinois lay in perfect alignment in
the order named and made an attrac-
tive picture, with their crews manning
sides, turrets and tops. They raised
the German naval standard and then
opened blank fire. The prince stood
at attention on the bridge and back
of him were Admiral Evans and his
staff and the numerous suite Of the
German visitor. The prince and his
staff were especially interested in the
Illinois and Olympia and offered warm

miral on the splendid appearance Of
his squadron. The prince said that
he was very anxious to visit the
squadron and that he would do this
at the earliest moment.
AS the Kronprinz cleared Temp

around hel increased and they kept
their whistles sounding. A crowded
ferryboat Joined the others, and n
response to the cheers Of her passeE
gers the prince went to the end Of the
bridge and touched his cap in salute.
There was a rush to the side OF the
ferryboat that carried her over on a
list that looked dangerous. When
the Kronprinz came abreast of Gov
ernor's island there was another sa-
lutte and the prince again stood at at
tention until the last of the q guns
was fired.
The royal visitor did not leave the
bridge during the rlIn up the bay. lie
said that he was at last gratifying an
old ambition in visiting New York

to the side and either saIuted or
waved his hand in acknowledge

expressed his appreciation of the
warm welcome extended to him.
Greeting From the HohenzolIern.
The last greeting in the run up the

RAISED A TIDAL WAVE.
what Happened When Dune meCaees
Wife Fell Into the Bay.

Sergt. Josef Froclich had an cx-
citing adventure recently, in which
| he played the role of a life saver, says
/ the Alaska Prospector. No doubt he
/ learned to save lives in Germany.
| This unfortunate event happened
while Josef was out boat-ridlng IN
company with Mrs. Duncan McCabe,
the wife Of Dune McCabe, the best
blacksmith on the bay
Mrs. McCabe Is not light woman
by any means, and during some fem
inine movement lost her balance and
uI.et the boat, causing both Of ITS
occupants TO be precIpitated into the
icy waters Of the bay. Other boats

fused 10y the novel sight that they dld

Mrs Duncan McCabe, being a

A TERRIBLE BLOW.
The Man Who Was Quite Sure he Could
Blow a Bugle.

A party of young men were stand
ing at street corner the other even
ing. They were curiously examining
a bugle which belonged to one Of
them, and as the stranger came along
an animated discussion arose.
81 wish could play on it" cried
one.
'Play on it?" exclaimed another;
81 wish l could make a noise on it."
''It's hard thing to do, observed
a third.
Hard thing to do?" chimed in the
stranger, halting and regarding the
group with evident contempt. "Why,
could blow bugle before was a
foot high"
"Well, some bugles are different
from Others" doubtfully said a quiet
man.
"Give me that bugl.," said the
stranger, excitedly.
1t was instantly handed to him,
and, putting it to his lips he made
trial trip.
There was subdued splutter, and
the stranger commenced a kind of
war dance, holding his mouth with
both hands.
"Great Scott" he yelled, with
tears streaming from his eyes; "who
filled that mouthpiece with cayenne
pepper?"-London Answers.

EX HIBI rs FROM OLD SPILES.
Marine Curiosities from the Battery Sea
Wall in Aquarium Tanks.

Some idea of the varied forms Of
marine life existing Immediately
around Manhattan island, says the
New York Sun, may be gained from
a survey of old spiles pulled up in the
course of dock work.
Oak spiles pulled up the other day
off the Battery sea wall were found
bored through and through in many
places by the teredo. On other spiles
oysters were found growing-good-
size ones, in some cases, three or four
years old.
The shells Of some of these oysters
were clean and white, having been
secured by the tides. To some other
of these oysters there were attached
other living animals, as barnacles and
sea anemones.
The aquarium has secured a Sec
tion Of one Of the honeycombed spiles,
and some of the oysters and they have
been put on exhibition.
In the tanks the oysters give no
sign, but the little sea anemones,
standing as it were on the oysters
backs, wave their marvellous ten
tacles, and the tiny barnacles sweep
the water with that wondrously
formed member which is like a hand
of skeleton fingers, quite in their ac-
manner

Simple Weather Indicators.

At the public library in Macon
there is barometer made simply of a
thin strip of cedar and thin strip
of white pine, placed together and
stuck perpendicularly in a base rest
of wood. When it is going to rain
the strips bend down, and when it is
to be dry they stand rigidly stiff and
straight. 1t is said to indicate com

SUCCESS.
A Story from Every Day Life-NO Luck
in This.


On the local page of the Gazette
the other day was a notice that viii
Cunningham, who entered the Jones
q Stone grocery store on the delivery
wagon a few years ago, was recently
made head bookkeeper-the best job
in the store. Now, head bookkeeper
of a grocery store in country town
isn't much Of job compared with
president Of the United States or
manager Of the steel trust. Yet there
are hundreds of grown men in this
town who haven't jobs as good. And
it's at least a job worth working for.
The boys Of Emporia should know
how young Cunningham got the job.
The average boy gets a job this way:
His father sits down and runs over
in his mind the men who have stores
and offices whom the old man thinks
he can work. Then the old man
makes the rounds, or maybe he sends
the boys mother, and finally the boy
has TO quit loahng around the creek
and in the barn and 20 to work. VIII
Cunningham got his own job-on a
delivery wagon. Most boys after they
get a little education want to start
at ten dollars a week, and do only the
thinking parts in the business. Cum
ningham hustled. He made himself
so popular with the customers of the |
store that they would rather have him !
wait on them than members Of the |
firm. He was polite. He was oblig- |
ing. He tried to take responsibility. !
He never kicked when he had to work |
overtime" When he saw a piece of I
work that needed attention, he did it, |
no matter whose fault" il was. He
got several "raises." The bosses be-
gan to trust him. They knew he could |
be depended on whether they were
watching or not. So he got the best
job in the store when il was vacated.
There was no luck in that. There
is no luck in any mans success. Sue
cess means that the man who enjoys
it works for it. There is no other way
out Of it. The boys who are being

Of gaseous politicians, and nipped de-

He has guided the new woman past

He has heated the street cars-in
some cities-and has compelled the
conductors TO be more polite.
he has cured the country cousin Of
the green goods habit, and has led
him to that point where he does not
respond to the invitation to inspect
the place where the river cayed in.
He has caused tie cowboy to cease
shooting up the town, and has ridi-
culed begging until organized charity

he has remodeled the restaurant
system of the country, and has given
the world new form OF boarding

A NOVEL BY MILTON.
Amazing Statement Made That Sup
pressed Work Will Be Published.

The amazing statement is made
that john Murray has in his posses
sion the manuscript Of a novel by
John Milton, and will soon publish
it. \ novel by Milton is almost as
unthinkable as an epic poem by Dar-
win or a philosophical work by Mr..
Dan Leno, Where has this manu-
script been kept all these years.?
Somebody must have known of its ex-
istence, and designedly withheld it
from publication. Possibly, it was
thought to be too humorous and
frivolous, and it was feared the repu-
tatlon of the poet would suffer by its
publication. A comic novel by John
Milton would be rather startling
thing; but the probability is that the
manuscript will prove to be a strictly
theological novel with an incidental
advocacy Of free divorce. That is,
provided such a thing as a manuscript
novel by Milton is really in existence.
However, we shall very soon know il
Mr. Murray has or has not any such
book in his possession; for no publish.
Pr could long keep such treasure troye
ocked up IN his safe.-Philadelphia
