THE MAN AND THE ROY.

He was a plain, ordinary citizen with a smile and friend asked him why he laughed.
 Because I am happy replied the man. I'll tell you about it. My boy needed a new oyercoat, and had ten dollars laid away, and was afraid that the ten wouldn't cover the need. What do know about boys overcoats? His mother buys his cloahes, and, God bless her. she pinches along and makes two dollars do the work of four dollars, and how am I to know? I didn't think I coumd do much with less than twelve dollars, and couldn't spare twelve dollars very well.
 The boy and his mother came to the office, and the boy and went to a clothing store. It was new experi- ence for me. saw twelve in red fig ures on some boys overcoats. and all most had heart failure; found later that the figures meant age, not dollars. Well, he tried on one. It was gray and warm and had a belt and came down to the tops of his shoes, and he was so tickled he just giggled. He

 Only one stop thus far has been ar ranged The President has accepted an invitation to attend a meeting of the rail- road branch of the Y. M. c. A., to be held at Topeka May 1. Few other details of the itinerary have been worked out. It has been decided with practical de- Influences that only one trip will be made. While no date for the beginning of the trip can be fixed on definitely until the Senate shall have adjourned, it is expect ed now that 1t will not be far from April 1, returning some time in June.
 It is likely that the first two or three weeks of the trip will be passeda aparinci- pally in the Yellowstone Park. There the President will seek rest and recrea- tion, but 1t Is understood he will do little hunting.

STEAMER DISAPPEARS.
Some Think the Vessel Went to the
 Bottom.

San Francisco. March l2.-Great mystery at- taehes to the disappearance identity of a steamer which is reported to have sent up sig nas of distress off Point Reyes last night and which suddenly disappeared as if swallowed up by the sea.
 Just before her disappearance. the observers say. the siren of the distressed vessel sounded three long blasts and antrns were swung on the port side in a frantic maner. indicating that great excitement must have prevailed on board the vessel.
 To the watchers at the Point Reyes light house 1t looked if those on board were pre- pairing to disembark
 Captain Jorgensen of the lighthouse ordered his crew to get a lifeboat ready and. with his men. launched the boat and spent several hours cruising in the vicinity of the spot where the steamer is supposed to have gone down. but nothing to indicate a wreck was found.
 The steamer Columbia, from Portland, Ore, arrived today and her commander saw no wreckage or any other indications that a ves- sel had gone to the bottom. The consensus of opinion around the Merchants Exchange is that while the Point Reyes people nave have seen signals of some sort, the signals were not intended to indicate that the vessel sending thm up was in grave danger.
