or something that would mean the
same. They would refer you to old
Sam Harland, the night Waterman of
the railway dock, who came there
five years ago on the Henry B. How
ard. You would then demand more
detail, and in humorous way they
would tell you how the waves once
took old Sam for their own and tried
hard to swallow him, but he PROV
ed too bitter pill, even for the hoary
old sea, so it spued him up again in
disgust
Eye see," they say Sam is a pow
erful chap on the booze, an his old
carcass is so soaked with rum that he
couldn't be digested. The sea took
him and chewed and chewed for quite
a while, but he was just a bit too
tough"
l have heard Sam tell his story,
but, being a rank egotist, he tries to
make you believe that his swimming
saved him, which isn't entirely true.
His shipmates on the Howard told
quite a different story, and, according
to general opinion, theirs was the
true version.
The big four-masted bark Henry B.
Howard left New York in May with
general cargo for San Francisco. This
brought her around the Horn in Au-
VCf nd 70 he d. -,
October, a bad time of year, just when
the equinoctial storms are brewing.
The Howard was just about five hun
dred miles southeast of Hawaii when
one of these bitter gales struck her
and brought her hove to under lower
topsails.
The ordinary landsman doesn't
quite realize what a storm in those
regions, at that time of year. means.

simply holds her own against those
giant midsea pillows is doing well.

A HOT LESSON.
How Two Puppies Tackled n FerO-
ciOus Egg.


ciOus Egg.
Kibo and Kroto We're astonished one
day, for their owner put them into a
basket and gave them to strange
man, who patted them and said. "Nice
little doggies!" and then covered them
with a soft cloth and shut down the
cover of the basket.
Now, Kibo and Kroto, being we'll
bred Boston bull pups, behaved very
nicely indeed in their new quarters.
They did not cry as some dogs might
have, but sensibly cuddled up to each
ether and went sound asleep.
After a long nap they awoke, and
blinked in the bright Tight; for the
cover of the basket had been removed
Their new master lifted them out of
the basket. and placed them on the
lawn, where they had some milk. Then
they were carried into the barn, where
a fine bed was made for them in a box
hlled with hay.
The puppies jumped into the box.
They whimpered a little because their
mother wasn't there for them to snug
gle against. Finally they lay down as
close together as possible and tried to
go to sleep, so they might forget how
forlorn they felt. And soon they were
dreaming the most delightful dreams
in the world-of drinking rich milk and
of running after rubber balls that lit
tie boys and girls threw for them to
chase
While the puppies were dreaming a
fine, plump hen walked into the barn.
She saw the box where the puppies
were, and thought to herself that that
was the very place to lay eggs. So up
she flew and settled herself in the box,
spreading her wings right over the
puppies.
They awoke, disturbed by the old
hen moving about; but, finding them

again, mounting another oncoming bill
low.
Already he had thrown off his SOU
wester and oilskin coat and was swim

aid, he struggled still, while his ship
mates could only stand helplessly by,
breathless, watching him fight his last
fight, and then be swallowed
The ship was drifting, and having
so much surface exposed to the wind,
she naturally sagged to leeward faster
than the man, leaving him to wind
ward. The ship was being blown away
from him. They tried to heave him a
lifebelt, but the wind blew 1t back
against the rail.
Still Sam fought manfully. With
beating hearts they saw him rid HIM
self of his gum boots, and even his
oilskin trousers-he ripped them off
with his sheath knife. Impulsively

CLEAN came into Hamilton's eyes as
John Henry disclosed a Japanned tin
box. In a flash he caught the idea.
Every broker who does not have
vault, deposits every evening all ac
tual stock and important papers in
safety deposit vault instead of trust
ing to an office safe. An additional
box for Carter & Hamilton could only
mean that they had acquired the l. &c
Y. stock in such quantities that an ex-
ira box was required for their recep-
ton. That evening John Henry car
ried a box in either hand as he follow
ed Hamilton and a special officer
around to the safety deposit vaults.
Jimmie Hines. Henshaw's man, was
waiting around the corner to treat him
to cream cakes. To him John Henry
reluctantly admitted that it was I. g.
X. stock. The next morning Henshaw
"unloaded" in a hurry. the stock fall
ing twenty points In five hours.
Many of the fashionable guests could
not understand why Hamilton had his
Office boy for a page at his wedding,
nor was his explanation that John
Henry was the cause of it all any more
enlightening.

"Wow, WOW, wow-wow-wow!" yelp-
ed Kroto.
"Bow, WOW, wow!" cried Kibo.
They tumbled out of the box in a
hurry, their little red tongues hanging
out their mouths, and rushed for their
pan of milk and drank and drank.
Poor little puppies! How the pepper
did burn them! Do you suppose Kroto
and Kibo wanted any more eggs? New
er! Just the very word "Eggs!" would
make them scamper away in alarm.
And as for the old hen, they drove her
out of their box, and she had to find
another place to lay her eggs.
She was very much surprised and
CLICKED and clucked angrily at the
puppies. But they would have nothing
to do with her-no, indeed! For how
could they tell but what she was 60

there"
1t is a fact that horses are very fond
of these scents. They are often used
by women in the tropics and the West
in the training and breaking of horses.
Men usually scorn such easy devices.
They want to break in a horse by the
exercise of will power and physical
strength. They often get their bones
broken instead.
Even women who do not know this
secret of Bucephalus' taste in scents
have great influence over horses, pos
sibly because they are gentler with
them and treat them with greater
Kindness than men. Everybody has
noticed how wonderfully women cir
Gus riders manage their horses. They
train them by kindness, and the horses
know and love them. male circus
rider is never so successful.
The white women of the West In
dies are fearless riders. They have
to ride all the time, as there is no
other way of getting about in their
mountainous isles. Sometimes they
are in the saddle from morning till
night, shopping, visiting or riding
over their plantations, directing the
work of the negroes. They gallop up
and down steep mountain tracks,
where the slightest slip of the horse
have a fear. Horse and rider are
close companions, and love and trust
each other.
A young girl in one of these islands
had horse given her by her father as
a Christmas present. He was the first
horse she had really owned, although
she had ridden almost from babyhood.
Naturally she made a great pet of him,
He would follow her about like pet
dog, and even go into the house after
her. She never touched him with a
whip, but he would obey the slightest
movement of her hand or the sound
of her voice.
One evening she was returning
home late from visiting a friend. She
was galloping along gayly, when the
horse suddenly came to a halt and re-
fused to move, although she coaxed
him and urged him to go on. He
stood with his ears erect and shivered
as If much frightened. She looked
around to see what was the matter,
and saw what looked like a figure
dressed in white sitting on a stone inn
mediately in front of the horse. She
felt scared herself, for 1t looked like
a ghost, so she gave the horse his
first lash with her riding whip. He
reared in amazed Indignation, cooked
back his ears and looked at her re-
proachfully. Then he took the bit
He was never the same horse again.
He would not follow his mistress or
come up to her for lump of sugar, as
he used to. His temper had been
spoiled by that one unexpected blow
of the whip, and the whip had to be
used on him ever afterwards to make
him go.
A good horse is the most sensitive
of animals, and feels an offense to his
pride far more keenly than any mere
physical cruelty. Women have natur-
ally greater tact and delicacy in deal
ing with them than even the most hui
name and considerate of men possess.
II you watch a good horse-woman
you will see that there Is perfect SYM
pathy between her steed and herself.
She anticipates all his thoughts and
feelings. A man may ride well, but he
never does that. Any groom will tell
you that a woman can ride a shying
horse with far greater safety than
man can. That is because she knows
by intuition when ii is going to shy.

TOO MUCH BETTING.

An estimate is published that wher
the racing season is at its height more
than $1O00,OO0 in bets on horses is
wagered in a single day, says the New
York Tribune. OF course, it is impos
sible to get the exact figures, but il
is probable that such a conjecture OF
the sum total is far too low.
Lord Beaconsfeld, who cared not
overmuch for sports Of any kind said
that the turf Of Great Britain was a
great engine Of natural demorallza
ton Of course he was referring tC
the gambling on the runners, and not
to the spectacle of noble animals Wy,
ing with each other for hOnOrs and
laurels; and, so far as the betting
was concerned. he was undoubtedly
right. Not until the millennium
dawns will it be possible to abolish
altogether wagers on cards, on dice
on every sort Of game of chance; but
it is freely admitted by the most en-.
thusiastic supporters of the turf in
England. France, America, Australia
and, indeed, in all countries, that toe
much money is squandered by toe
many people on the hazards of racing
and that judi'ciOus measures of re
striction, much more thorough and eff
fective than those now in use, ought
to be adopted.

"SHACKLING THE TRUSTS"

Should Mr.. Roosevelt, as announced
devote his message to a consideration
of divorce. doubtless he will recon-
mend uniformity of laws as cure for
the durable evils thereof. Uniformity
Of legislation has for many years been
the accepted solution, in theory, of
dent will perhaps find that much Of
his thinking along this line has been
done for him by the American Bar
Association and other bodies which
have been working for the advance
ment of uniform Legislation.
If he should happen to be interested
in the subject of uniform legislation
he might profitably enough devote
part of his message to discussion of
uniform legislation as a cure for trust
nations interest is real; a problem
which is really threatening"
There are some two hundred indus
trial combinations or trusts in this
country, which control over two thou
sand plants located in forty-two
states and territories. Each of these
trusts is born of state laws, as a cor
pOraiOn. In general the laws of a
state do not permit this corporation
| to 'Combine' and consolidate" and
perform the usual functions of shut
ting off competition among industries
| in the state itself. In the state of its
| birth or creation it, as a usual thing,
can be only single corporation as
| distinguished from a trust, which is
the sum of several corporations. And
it is only by virtue of its ability to do
| business in other states, as for
| eign" corporation, that it is enabled to
combine industries and operate as a
trust. Thus a foreign" corporation
may come into state and make COM
| binatiOns and perform other acts
which would not be tolerated in a IA
tive or home corporation
Comfy, so-called, between states,
is responsible for the operations of
| foreign corporations; and comfy is a
sort of mutual liberation The stat
utes are silent as to comfy. Thus in
Washington there are no express
grants of pOwer-but simply restric-
tons upon power silently conceded
which permit New Jersey corporation
to make contracts and transact bust
ness here. Held to the limitations of
positive enactment within the state of
its functions-the octupus would lose
! its tentacles. Thus the trust depends
for its existence upon a tacit agree
ment of system of mere acquiescence
amnog the states.

fort which was then in charge Of
Captain Smith, a retired army officer
whose widow still resides here.
Through the efforts of Mayor James

to send troops to garrison the fort,
and accordingly the First Cavalry was
soon afterHard stationed there. Sol
diers were kept there continuously
afterWaTd until the outbreak of the
Spanish American war in 1898, when
the fort was AGAIN deserted except by
a few caretakers. At the close of the
war it was again occupied by troops.
In 1896. On the recommendation of
General Otis. the secretary of war
recommended that the fort be aban-
dOned and that the reservation be
again turned over to the interior de
partment. An order was given to
that effect. but it has been held in
allegiance ever since. partly because
of a vigorous protest by the Walla

FROM PATRIOT TO POLITICIAN.

months ago was making a great show
of fighting the big trusts. declaring
that we should shackle cunning as
we have shackled force" A few in
junction suits were begun against
two or three trusts. but 50 far 10th
ing good has come of them. The
trusts go right on plundering the
people while the manipulators laugh
at the grandstand attempts of Attor-
ney General Knox to dislodge them
from their high perch by throwing
grass. If any proof were needed to
convince fairminded men that the
president is not sincere in his alleged
desire TO curb the predatory opera

that future generations of Americans
may be bred up to have hooks on the
shoulders like bat, so that they may
suspend themselves easily upon the
straps of trolley cars. Doubtless a
good deal might be done toward de-
veloping the human anatomy along
utilitarian lines.
However the main point Of the pro-
fessor's remarks is that there are too
many of us now and what we need in
future is quality and not quantity. He

Were the restrictive laws which
govern the operations of domestic
corporations applied as well to the in
vading corporations-were there a
common agreement to abolish comfy,
or sufferance, which permits a foreign
corporation to effect combinations de-
MED to domestic cOrporations-the
states might be said to have the trusts
fairly in hand.
Says a recent writer in the Politi-
cal Science Quarterly: "If the
states are to control the trusts, the
power of foreign corporations to own
forests, mines and factries in all the
states must either be destroyed or be
made subject to burdens that materi-
ally limit its exercise. The ability of
the state to control trusts thus de-
ponds on the power of each state to
regulate or prohibit the ownership by
foreign corporations Of mines, forests
and factries within its limits" These
sentences, considered in connection
with the peculiar nature of the exist
ence of the foreign corporation, are
big with meaning.
Constitutional questions naturally
complicate and confuse consideration
of the curtailing of the property rights
of corporations. But the elemental
truth is clear that the corporation is
state creature and that in general
what the state creates the state may
destroy or restrict. A common con-
sideration by the several states Of
the question of control would be one
step towards solution.
