FATE OF THE PHANTOM
"A Story Of Old Steamboat Days
By Will 7. Carpenter

Talking about the bad luck oil
steam boats. | tell you the Phantom
had the worst ever knew,
The above words were spoken by
an old man as he sat one July day
under q tarpaulin on the levee at
New Orleans near the ioos q Canal
street. The old man was lame from
rheumatism: was somewhat stopped,
owing to the fact that he had walked
with a crutch for the major portion
of the last five years; his beard was
short and of a grizzly gray and his
hair was amost white, was thin and
short. He was an old-time pilot, put,
owing to his advanced years, the
competition Of railroads and other
things incident TO the progress of the
past quarter of a century, he had lit
tie to do and found his occupation
at times quite congenial; not that he
was indolent,s for he had plenty OF
energy. but he had the gift OF adapt
alton and was never more contented

worst. The old man no longer held
a regular job consequently he work
ed only at intervals Sometimes he
had to pilot a boat up to Mound City,
III, or New Albany, Ind, to the dry
docks; and again some pilot would
lay off trip or two and the old man
would sub" for him. But he was
not by any means an object OF char
ity. for he had home with his mar
ried daughter, who loved him with
an unselfish and unqestioning devo-
ton, and no man is poor who had this.
He had ,steered the most famous
steamers that ever ran the Mississippi
and Ohio Rivers, and had received as
much salary for round trip from
New Orleans to st. Louis as the aver
age pilot now receives month. In
those flush times the pilot was the
king of the boat and named his own
wages; did pretty much as he pleas
cd, brooked no interference with his
duties, not even from the captain
himself, and if he said lay up at night
the boat laid up, the captains wishes
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The old man was at one time cub
pilot on the Magnolia" one of the
most magnificent steamers in the
days of floating palaces on the low

by Capt. Thomasson, who lived many
years ago and was at one time stew
ard at the Gait House in Louisville.
The conversation with which this
story opened was between the old pi
lot and an old chum of his.
Yes, talking about bad luck the

particular. You remember she came
out and was built at Jeffersonville.

how she sat in the water like a swan?

Burglars In Denmark.

DENMARK, Jan. 29.-The store of Mrs.
NJ. McCrae was broken into last night
and a number of articles stolen. 1t is
impossible to ascertain the exact loss, but
a number of things. shoes, shirts, etc., are
missing and the other departments OF the
store were visited.
The entrance was made through the
front door, large glass having been
broken. 1t is certain that the burglars
secured the tools with which they effect.
ed their entrance from the blacksmith
shop Of Mr.. T. q. Cox, for this shop had
also been broken into.
The front door of the store was cut and
splintered, showing that an attempt had
been made to prize the door open.
There seems to be no clue whatever.
This store room was entered several times
in a similar way while occupied by Mr.. j.
G. Storne.
The cold, freezing night served to make
easier the work of the thieves.
