THE LOOKOUT'S TALE
"RoSUN JoE's" LAST TRICK At

How the Royal Blood of Cape Cod
Seamen Showed True in Their Dis

Nights great , Loom was p' b busy y weaving YEA

The bow surges. stlke sa rustic, purling
Seemed the steady hum of spindles as

While the rasping of the foremost, with

With this goblin crew thus busted with

Years ago, when Malay cutthroats
swarmed these Straits" he tersely
And our shippers eyed each strange sail
with nisgivings, doubt or dread;
"a packet Fleming knight,
When one morning, off the Narrows,
three great proas hove in sight
They were pirate craft, and nearing, we
saw meath each yawning sail
A great swarm of brown-skinned rufdans
From er the bulwaris Of the he! largest big
swivers ugly snout
Pumped a round shot through our fore

But our skipper flashed the tactics of
those EVIL t birds Of fnp PREY Eysntet made

By slant, to dodge the others, outfoot

So he assstx , at the the Besun

OF good stock came our third striker;

Meath this bronze skin the blood royal
of the old Cape sailors ran;
Skipper Burnham knew his man.
The clear open sea, and safety, lay full
seven miles ahead.
When at length we cleared the head

A chance shot from their black swivel
sent the splinterS flying wide.
And one jagged piece, thus driven, like a
lance had pierced his side.
For two mortal hours, thus wounded

That brave fellow worked the vessel

"Boys!" the mate said, as we loosened
from the spokes old "Joe's" death
grip,
These chilled hands have wrought good
service for the Flemish knight this

But for him the sharks out yonder,
ravening the Malay dead
Would be polishing their molars upon
Saxon hides instead!
II am English born-no stranger at the
gunport and redoubt,
Where with vampire wing Deaths angel

But for fortitude that downs me- stands

A Regular Cow.

The force of habit was very forcibly
illustrated by an incident last week
at the pumping station OF the water
works at Enid, says the Eagle. A
tank standing just outside the build
ing is kept full of water for the ac-
commodation of passersby and the
nelghboring stock. A COW accustom-
ed to drink at this tank came for her
morning drink. The valley was full
of water and stood within two or
three inches of the top of the tank,
but the COW went over the waste Of
waters TO the tank. Twice she stuck
in the mud and appeared to be in
danger of drowning but by her per-
severance she finally reached the OBJ
jective point After drinking long
and copiously she turned about and
slowly made her way to land, appar-
emily satisfied that she had done the
only 'avilable thing to find water.

as in Boston everybody doesn't, drink
as good liquor as we do in Kentucky
Not long ago a young woman from
the Hub came out our way to spend
some time on a farm a mile or two
cut of town. She had met the farme, s
felix's somewhere and came out to .1y
her hand at chicken raising, being an
enterprising young lady
One day she came into the store of
one of our merchants with half a
dozen chickens tied together by the
feet and laid them down on sack
while she negotiated a sale The
merchant observed that they were in
rather an insecure position.
"-Will they lay there. Miss Julia p
he asked. with never a thought of his
grammar since he left school,
--'Oh. no. she replied, half bIushing
and half reproving; they are all rcost-

since then the merchant has been
trying to coax Miss Julia to quit
chicken raising and go to school teach
