SAILORS SAW KING OSCAR.
with Royalty When He Was
Youth.

In these Prince Henry days every
one who has ever met a 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 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 gendarmes. The boys knew
no Swedish, their captors no English,
and it was beginning to look dark for
them when a 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.
eve wanted to see the king and
how he lived,'' answered young Per-
l1ins, frankly.
''But don't you know" said the
man, "you might be put into prison
for trespass?"
eve don't want to hurt the king"
said the affrighted youth. "Only want
to see him.
81 am King Oscar!" said the man,
and the boys looked their fill. Then
the king ordered 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 a yacht for a cruise one
day he came across Harry Brans-
combe, the English sailor who had
shared his Swedish experience. The
man was still common sailor, but
Senator Perkins found a better berth
for him on one of his own ships.

Ed. Vest and my own boyhood hero,
Dan Wright, received from $4OG to
$500 month, and lived the lives Of
nabobs. Many of them We'd 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
plotting, breathed plotting 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 BattIe-Ax,
when the warriors were swarming on
the river between the shore and Battle
Island, a 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 to- its upper waters was
the famous old Virginia, which accom-
plished this significant feat in 1923, or
16 years after Fulton had astonished
the world with his invention.

AMERICAN STORE IN AFRICA.
Established by a New York Firm and
Had a Great Bargain Sale on
Opening Day.

A New York firm owned, for years,
two banks which piled in the Liberian
trade, visiting also towns of impor-
lance elsewhere along the coast.
These vessels were well known in
this country among all who were in
terested in the emigration of Amer
lean negroes to Liberia, states the
New York Sun.
The largest number of emigrants
from the southern states who re-
moved to the land of their fathers
sailed on these vessels, each of which
had a comfortable little cabin and
good accommodations for 40 or so
passengers. The New York firm dis
continued this service for some years,
as the profits had considerably di-
minished, but awhile ago it resumed
the trade, and now sends merchan-
disc to traders of Sierra Leone and
Liberia, taking in exchange the cof-
fee, palm oil and other products of
those countries, but has also opened
a store at Monrovia, the capital of
Liberia.
Two young men are in charge of
this store, which is filed from top
to bottom with American goods of
all sorts required by the Liberian re-
tail trade. It is a distinctively Amer
lean store, where nearly everything
can be bought, from dress pattern
to a key of nails.
The Liherians like American goods,
and our products are proving that
they can hold their own in COMPETE
ton with any European products in
the African market.
The women of Monrovia are as fond
of shopping as their American sis
tiers. On the opening day the two
young men in charge had very busy
time, for the store was thronged
from morning till night.
All the shoppers of the little city
were out to see what the store had
to offer. They came with consider
able cash in their pockets and made
inroads in the stock.
A great variety of articles was
sold, among them being over 300
dress patterns, many combining
cheapness with durability, while 9TH
er dresses were of the best quality
that the Monrovian market demands.
The new store had great send off.
1t is not expected that its daily sales
will often be as large as those of the
opening day, but at last reports bust
ness was thriving and the American
store had become an institution of
the town. Some of the great depart
ment stores of New York had much
humber beginning, and if Monrovia
develops as its citizens hope it viii do.

pace with the growth of the cap

His defective eyesight was ever an

said something very civil, and I
thought she was Andrew Clark's
daughter, so I patted her on the
shoulder very affectionately and said:

Growth in the States.
But the development of manufactur.
ing interests may be studied in an
even morecertain way than by noting
the changes in rank of the several
states between the dates of the last
two census talIings. In 1890 Arizona
was turning out manufactured prod
ucts to the value of only $947 ,547, while
in 1900 her manufactured products
were valued at $21, 315, 1s9; in 1890 Col
orado manufactured products to the
value of only $40, 48O,2O5, while in 1906
her factories produced goods to the
value of $1O2, $50, 1877; New York in 1900
manufactured goods to the value of
So, IT'S, zee, 900, while in 1890 her fac.
tories produced goods to the value OF
only Sill, SIT Cyl. And so it is possible
to go down through almost the entire
list of states, each showing heavy in
crease in the total of manufactured
products between the two dates, and
each adding its part to the grand total
of increase. In the southern states the
increase is especially noticeable, and
the past decade seems to have mark ed
a new era in their industrial develop
ment and prosperity.
