Fooled the BlOckaders.

Capt. Archibald, of the Amer
ican steamer Cherokee, is stu
dent of marine scenic effects, says
the New York Sun. Recently
his vessel played part as block
ade-runner in the Santo Domingo
revolution, and the captain made
use of his knowledge with all the
skill of an old stage manager.
The Cherokee had freight and
mail for Samana and Sanchez,
but was stopped outside the ports
at dusk by the Dominican gun
boatA Ell Presidente. Capt. Paco
of the gunboat respectfully an
nounced a blockade. Captain
Archibald put his steamer about,
and headed into the night for
Porto Plata.
He did not go far, however.
Remembering that the hull of a
departing vessel first disappears
from sight, he soon put out his
lower lights, then the upper cabin
lights, then the deck lights, then
slowly lowered the masthead
light and "doused" it also. The
Cherokee had not gone two miles
from the little gunboat, but Capt.
Paco believed he had seen her
disappear over the horizon.
The blockading officer started
his little gunboat also toward
Porto Plata, where, at day ybreak,
he intended to intercept the Cher
okee. AS soon as he was out of
sight the Cherokee, which lay
hidden by the friendly darkness
close at hand, got under way
again and sailed into Sanchez
and Samana, where Capt. Archi-
bald landed his cargo.

Dashed to Earth Again,

"lts real interesting to read
about these folks that lived in
NEUROLOGICAL times" said Mr.
Cobb, as he put a slip of paper
In his library book and shut it
carefully. "Seems as If nine
o'clock came quicker than | ever
knew it to before"
Mrs. Cobb was putting a large
patch on one elbow Of her waist,
and she held it close TO the lamp
IN what seemed to her husband
an ostentatious way He turned
sidewise in his chair to avoid the
view.

he said, musing. He was strong
beyond anything we have nova
days. Why, he supports the
heavens on his head and hands :;
held 'em up in place till they
got kind Of set, | Judge. What
muscle such a man as that must
have had ~ and MIR. Cobb dou-
bled his right fist and brought it
up to his shoulder while the
fingers Of his left hand felt his
arm with apparent satisfaction.
What an appetite he must
have had :" said Mrs. Cobb, tart,
ly; "and while he was support,
ing the heavens, work the Lord
could have done without any of
his help,-I'll risk but what his
wife was supporting him! And
tomorrow guess your cold III be
well enough so you can go over
to the squire's and begin on that

Great, But Absent Minded.

1t is no disgrace, even for q
famous man, to lose an umbrella,
so the New York Times tells
with evident delight of cele
brated lawyer who darted into a
furnishing-goods store on a re-
cent rainy Friday. purchased an
mbrella, and carried it as far as
the door.
There he stopped to make a
note in a memorandum book.
He left the umbrella leaning
against the wall while he wrote,
and when he finished the writing
he started out without a thought
of the umbrella.
Within minute he rushed
into the other door of the same
shop. He wanted to buy an UNI
brella.
IL thought l had one with me
when | left home," he said, In a
semi-apologetic way,"but guess
| must have forgotten to take it,"
A second salesman sold him
another umbrella. AS he started
to carry it from the shop, the
first salesman confronted him.
"You left your umbrella, SIR"
the clerk said, as he held up the
original purchase.
BLESS me, so | did," cried the
lawyer, land l suppose | was 60
ing off with some other mans !"
He pushed the second purchase
into the hands Of the surprised
clerk, seized the first one, and
dashed into the storm again with
his umbrella-uuder his arm.
