STREET FIGHT WITH BAILIFF.
One afternoon as the princess was walk

she was halted by the public bailiff. who
produced a warrant authorizing him TO
seize for the benefit OF creditors any porta-
BILE property which she was carrying on
her person. Accordingly, the princess was
held up in the street while the bailiff and
his assistants searched her pockets and
person. taking possession of her watch, Of

She resisted. with the result that there was
a row in the street. ending in something
like a free fight between the princess and

The Dreamer.

I smile at stupid men who cry
That life Is out of gear.
Who go about with frown and sigh
And faces full Of fear:
For I've had sorrows of my own
AS dread as any ever known;
But when feel inclined to groan-
Why then fly to Dreamland,
Where happy visions throng.
Where souls are bright and hearts are light,
And life is like a soEg.
I only strive to CLEAN the sweet,
Forgetful of the cares
As farmers harvest but the wheat,
And thrust aside the tares
And dark or sunny be the day
/ store for Memory something gay,
And when Grief comes across my way
Why then I'm off to Dreamland,
Where happy visions throng,
Where souls are bright and hearts are light,
And life is like song.

COST OF CUP LIFTING.

Sir Thomas Lipton Will Spend al
 Least $7oo, 900 This Year. New York Sun.
 Few persons have an idea what lifting the cup means in money. Each of Sir Thomas efforts has cost him more than half a million dollars. This time his ex- penses are more than they have been in former years, because he has kept two racing boats in commission.
 The new Shamrock probably cost to build about $200,0OO She has five suits of sails. and these cost $2O,OOO each. so that with her sails her cost is $3O0.OOO. Extra spars have been needed, more rigging has been used than was first put on the yacht, and many other minor expenses have probably brought the cost of the boat up to $45O,O00.
 Shamrock I. had new sails and she used some that were made for Shamrock IT. two years ago. These had to be recut to fit the older boat. With new rigging and cleaning and painting. it is probable that the trial boat has cost $5O0OOO.
 There are forty-five men on each of
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-08-23

these racing boats. The captains sal- aries are s4.500 each, the officers, 5000, and forty men on each boat draw about 80 a month apiece. They have been en-
 gagged for six months. so their total wages
 will amount to $l4000 In addition to their wages, Sir Thomas pays each man a bonus of $75 for giving up the yacht ing season on the other side and coming across the ocean. This is in lieu of prize
 money. If the Shamrock wins it will be much more. This bonus will amount to s6,OO0. On the Erin the crew costs about $17, 500, and on the Cruiser and the smaller boat about $5.O00. This makes the total cost of men for the six months $50, 400.
 It costs quite a nice sum to feed 205 men each day. It is fair to estimate this item at 50 cents a. day for each man. so that the total food bill will be about $1S,00O.
 The yachts will occupy the dry docks altogether twenty-two days. This costs $500 day, making the total $6.6OO. There are man other charges in connection with the dry dock. Men have been hired to paint the yacht, others have been employed to make changes and repairs. Sails and spars have been. stored and lighters and derricks have been used to step and unstep the masts. It is said that $l5,0O0 will about cover the expenses of the dry dock.
 When it was decided to bring the sham rock I. across it was found necessary to have an extra convoy. The Erin could not do the work of the two racers. Sir Thomas bought the tug Cruiser for about $75,OO0. Here he has chartered a barge and houseboat, and engaged an exeur- sion steamer to take his guests down to see the races. All this will add S20,000 to his expenses.
 This makes the total cost of trying to lift the cup, S63S,0O0, and not cent has been charged up to entertainment. Dur ing the races the Erin will be crowded every day. Ever since the yachts ar rival here there have been parties of friends aboard, and many guests have been brought from the other side to live in the Erin. It is fair to say that Sir l Thomas's bills will total $70O,0OO.
