galley, and nothing elsewhere, until
they came to the stokehole, and then
TO the bunkers. Here the revenue
man was struck by the quantity of
coal on hand for an inbound ship
and his suspicious rose like the comb
of an angry cockatoo.
Seems you have got lot of coal
aboard, Captain Treharne," said he.
Eyes. Good coal that. Never used
so little coal since I've skippered the
Rathcoole," replied Billy.
Seems to me you would have
room for a small packing case or
two in that lot" surmised the rev.
enue man.
Have look and see" suggested
Billy.
Then the revenue man stuck
shovel into the coal and gave a pre-
monitory sniff.
Lord! That's very like the smell
of tobacco" said the officer
1T is, very like assented Billy.
Look here, captain, for the last
time, is there tobacco concealed on
the ship?"
Not a damn bit"
Then I'll have to search this coal
You've too much aboard for home
bound, and this bunker reeks of to-
bacco."
very well, then. Search it.
don't mind bit. Only, mind, you'll
have to replace things as you find
EN-"
VERY we'll. Here goes, then" said
the revenue man, and he started
He shoveled away until he got pref
ty black, and then he sent ashore for
couple of men. They came and
shoveled, and between them they
bungled up the stokehole with coal
and the reek of tobacco grew strong
err, then the night fell, and the reye-
nue. man stayed his hand till the
morrow.
Next morning he turned up afresh
with more helpers, and they hove
coal about all day out of the stoke
hole onto the deck in bags and buck
cts. The Ratheoole grew black all
over, as ships in the agenies of coal
ing always do, and finally, as even
ing fell again, the revenue crew got
to the bottom of the bunkers which
were damp of sticky liquid that
reekeq abominably Of stale tobac-
co. Then said the revenue officer to
Billy, who was calmly cycling the fin
ishing touches, What in the earth.
or the water under the earth, is this
liquor; and why, in heavens name
does it smell Of nicotine this way?"
"Oh! that" replied Billy, that's
an idea Mckay picked up in New Or
leans for a coal saver. You just buy
tobacco sweepings, boil EN- down.
pour the liquor over the coal and
there you are. See the way it's saved
our coal this trip"
Then why in bell didn't you tell
me that before?" frantically demand
ed the revenue man.
Because you asked me if I had
tobacco aboard which | had not, and
you swore l had Anyhow, you never
asked where the smell came from"
asserted Billy. And new" he add
ed, you'll. kindly put my coal back
and clean the ship afterwards.
And, reluctantly, that revenue of
ficer set his men to work, and they
put the coal back, cleaned the ship
to Billy's satisfaction, and departed
woefully. Then Billy sent in claim
for more wealth for unjust detention
in port. And he got it, and that's
how he got even with the revenue
at least that's how Billy Treharne
says he did it.

TELEPHONE IMPROVEMENTS The New
England Telephone & Telegraph Co. is
making extensive additions and improve
ments to the plant and exchange in Belfast
Foreman James Hartman has had crew
of men and teams here two weeks setting
poles, putting up cables, stretching wires,
etc. Poles have been set on streets where
new subscribers are located, and many old
poles have been replaced by new. Cables,
to total length of $4,000 feet, or more than
miles, are to take the place of the present
open wires. These cables are of 3 sizes,
carrying 30, 60 and 100 wires respectively.
The cables will extend from the central Of
flee down High street to the junction of
Church. up High to Vine; up Main to Gus
tom House Square; thence down Church to
Grove and up Grove to Cedar; down Main
and Cross to Mathews Bros mill. There
will be branches from High street, on
Bridge to Washington, and down Miller
and Commercial streets. A new switch
board is being prepared for the central Of
flee, to accommodate operators instead of
as at present, and the most modern appli-
ances are installed as fast as they come into
use in any of the exchanges.

DEER STORIES. Mrs Clarence Wyman
had singular experience with deer re-
Gently. She was driving to Swanville with
few apples in carriage. A short distance
above Mason's Mills in East Belfast large
buck deer came out of the woods and trot-
ted along some distance beside her horse.
The deer finally crowded over until his
sides touched the thill of Mrs. Wyman's
carriage when the horse became frightened
and bolted into the ditch. The carriage
was partially upset and Mrs. Wyman was
thrown out, but escaped with few
slight bruises. The deer kept on up the
road as though nothing had happened....
Four Frankfort youngsters, Harry Snow,
Donald Clark, Frank McCambridge and
Forest Catlin, were hunting between
Frankfort and Winterport when they came
upon big buck deer. One of the boys
fired at him, the shot taking effect. The
deer showed fight. All four of the boys
closed in on him, blazing away excitedly
1t is estimated that so shots were fired in
all :before the deer finally succumbed. 1t
was fine buck, weighing 2S5 pounds. All

"The proposal OF President Weich
that merchants use letter heads set

conveniences Is too late" said a well
known Astorian yesterday. Astoria
may now howl for common point rates
until It tires without accomplishing
anything. There was time when local
sentiment counted. but that time has
passed. Now the o. r. & N. Co. for
merly the line to which Astoria looked
for recognition. is very small part Of
the very big Hartman system. The
Hartman system could not be reached
through agitation. Its officials know as
much about, Astoria as we do. Some
day when there Is plenty Of water at
the mouth of the Columbia that system
may come In here. but its decision in
this respect would not be FASTENED by
agitation. Had the Chamber OF. Com

point of the northwest. The chamber
is about eight years late"

The efforts Of the Astoria Woman's
Club to secure dumping ground viii
probably result in failure, for the pres
ent at least, Some days since the
council public property committee
selected the foot of Third street as the
location of. the dumping ground, but
there arose a protest that the council
was compelled to heed. The remon-
strators urged that the proposed dump
ing ground would be a constant mem
ace to the health of the people living
in that portion of the city and that
they would exhaust every effort for its
location there, ], H. Hansen, chairman
of the committee, states that he will
at the next meeting of the council rec
ommend dropping the matter for the
present time. He believes the only So
luton Of the problem is for the city
to build crematory, which would not
give cause for complaint on the part
of property owners. He estimates that
crematory would cost from $500 to
$500. Mr.. Hansen says he thoroughly
appreciates the need for some means of
disposlng OF the rubbish Of the city,
but that the property owners have
some rights in the premises which the
council is bound to respect. There has
been so much demand for dumping
ground that it is just possible the coun-
Gil may undertake to provide a crema-

for discussion at the next session Of
