THE TESTERS.

The jester mounted to the throne,
The while did sleep the king.
"a monarch now am 1, he said,
And lightly did he sing:
Nov bring to me my ermine robes
And bring my crown to me,
And take this cap and take these bells
To his great majesty.
The courtiers did as they were bid.
And called the joke supreme,
They waited round until the king
Awoke from out his dream.
Soon in he came arrayed in cap,
And shaking loud his bells;
And all the courtiers stood anear
AS this strange dream he tells:
'T dreamed" said he, that I was king,
CThe testers frown was plain)
"And that [ sat upon the throne
And ruled this broad domain;
That while 1 slept the good king came
And bore his crown to me,
And said: This day 1 thee invest
With all my majesty
but when 1 awoke, arrayed was I
In my old TESTERS suit.
This cap, these bells; and on my tongue
The same light bubble fruit
OF jest and song The courtiers laughed.
And, breaking all the rules,
OF procedure, the jester reigned
A very prince of fools.
And none can say unto this day,
Who played the greater joke;
The jester with his golden crown
Seems burdened with a yoke;
The king laughs now that wept before,
And seems a slave set free,
And all the courtiers. puzzled, ask:
Say, what is majesty?"

m6rtIsed and pinned it together that
1T could withstand any ordinary
strain. Every five feet it was braced
with cross timbers. This framework
was constructed on logs which
served as rollers. They fioored it
over with the seasoned timber which
had been found back of the store
house. The cracks were caulked with
fiber from the cocoa palm and
smeared with pitch, which was found
in abundance in resinous trees. Upon
this foundation they erected the
framework for hull five feet in
depth, and then rolled the struc-
ture into the lake.
L. Sylvester Vincent solicited the
honor of naming the boat. He ar
gued that he was the youngest mem
Der of the party and the most in
nocent. His request was granted,
and he took his position at the for
ward end of the craft. In one hand
he held a quart bottle of mineral
water, while with the other he chung
to one of the uprights. At a signal
from Mr.. Carmody the blocks be-
meath the rollers were knocked out
and the scow started down the incline.
There was a four foot drop from
the rock to the water. With in
creasing- momentum the structure
rolled down the slanting surface.
When the center passed the edge of
the rock, the forward end dived. At
that instant the alert Vincent
smashed the bottle against the up
right.

The bow went Is feet under water
and L. Sylvester Vincent went with
it. In the yeast of wave and foam
Mr.. Vincent rose to the surface near
the center of the raft. He was
badly disorganized, and for a mo-
ment sputtered and gasped for
breath. But he was soon on his

raised the broken bottle in the air.

'They must see the white flag on
this cliff" he said to himself They
were not three miles away. Mr..
Carmody stood on the highest point
and waved his handkerchief. Near
.er and nearer came the ship. He fired
the rifle again and again. Could they
see him? Would they understand?
He plainly saw the lifeboats and the
chart house of the oncoming vessel.
Her masts rocked gracefully in the
swell of the ocean. He saw the jibs
flutter in the fresh breeze. The
bow swung to starboard; the long
hull of the ship stood for a moment
broadside to the shore; the huge
sails Topped in the wind as she
came about" they fattened as the
ship obeyed the rudder; the masts
careened and steadied; the foam
showed white at her bows, and the
ship stood away to the northeast
on starboard tack. Mr.. Carmody
saw the wheelman without the aid
fof glass, and could see the faces
of the sailors as the ship stood

'They are scoundrels to paw no
heed to a flag of distress!" he said
aloud as the snip swiftly receded,
and at last became a mere speck in
the northeastern horizon. Tt was a
sad awakening from happy dream.
Alas! how often we sail proudly by
the fluttering rags of distress! LIES
marooned are on islands in every me-
tropolis. The battered hulks of hui
mainly go down in sight and hearing
of prosperous voyagers. Storm
tossed sailors, unable to breast life's
tempestuous seas. perish on society's
coasts, and no ifeboat puts out from
shore. The wrecker burns his false
lights along the rocks.
The Indignation of Mr.. Carmody
was shared by his companions, but
they regarded it as a hopeful sign
that two ships already had been seen
from the rocks. This proved be-
You'd doubt that these waters were
frequented by traffic, and there was
chance that some generous skipper
might recognize their flag of dis

THE BUILDING OF THE JUMPING
s JUPITER

JUPITER
Work on the boat proceeded with
great rapidity. Under the supervi-
sion of Mr.. Carmody the foundation
timbers of the raft were felled and
rolled to the fat rock which served
rs a pier. His theory was to con-
struct a raft with sustaining pow
er of 5000 pounds. The buoyancy
of the timber was carefully tested,
and an allowance made for the loss
by absorption of water. These ex-
periments showed that the timber
did not possess the proper specific
gravity to sustain the weight of a
cabin, masts and the eight voyagers.
This necessitated a change of plan,
and the construction Of alright
compartments. They therefore built

BANQUET IN HIS HONOR

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 12.-WiE-
liam ]. Bryan was the principal guest
last night at a Democratic banquet In
Warner hall here. Governor Garvin OF
Rhode Island, Congressman De Ar
mond Of Missouri, Fred w. Plaisted Of
Augusta Me-, and Colonel A. G. Drink
water Of Braintree, Mass, were among
the guests from other states. The occa-
sion took the form of celebration OF
Jackson day and was also declared by
some Of its promoters to be intended as
a sort of prelude 10 the opening Of the
presidential campaign in New Eng
land. w. II. II. Hewitt was tOastmas-
ter. Among other prominent New Ha
ven Democrats present was Alexander
Troup, former member of the Demo
cratic national cgnmittee.
Mr.. Bryan's topic was "A Conscience
Campaign" He said in part:
IF we touch the conscience Of others
we must give evidence that our CON
sciences have been quickened. The
great issue at this time is the issue be-
tween man and Mammon, between plu-
tOcracy and democracy. All surface
questions Of policy, Of taxation and OF
regulation and of finance are bur,
phases Of that century long, that world
wide struggle between the common peO-
pie and organized wealth. To say that
II does not pay for a nation to violate
the rights Of the people Of another ma
ton involves so much Of addition, sub
traction, multiplication and division
that many get lost in maze Of mathe-
mates. But TO say that the wages Of
sin is death is TO give an epitome OF
history that accords with each persons
experience. In dealing with the trusts,
with finance, with labor problems and
with all the other questions at issue we
must view them from a moral stand
point and arraign every evil at the bar
of the public conscience.
"will it winl Nothing else win give
permanent success. AS the martyrs
who 1900 years ago kneeling in prayer
while hungry beasts devoured them in
yoked power mightier than the le-
gions of Rome, today it is not only
possible, but necessary, to appeal to
that moral sentiment which when
aroused will prove more potent than the
purse"
Henry G. Newton, a Republican, who
is a personal friend of Mr.. Bryan and
who sat at his right at the banquet
table, spoke on Andrew Jackson" and

CONVICTED BURGLARS

The case of State VS.. George Hay
mes was given to the jury this morn
ing.
1t has appeared in c"idence that Rer-
nard Surdam was 20 take ten gallsns
of the whiskey.
Frank, or "Snif" Daley was also
implicated, but the officers have not
been able to lay hands on him.
Evidence of Haynes good character
was introduced by the defense.
Haynes, at the time OF his arrest,
told the officers that "Con" Howe and
"Sniff" Daley we're sin it along with
him." This evidence Is very damag-
ing to Haynes.
All the incrimiL ating evidence was
skillfully set forth against the prison
er by States Attorney Stakeholder.
William r Daley, the defendants
attorney, argued to the jury, that it
had not been shown that Haynes had
anything to do with the affair beyond
carrying and storing the whiskey and
claimed that Haynes insisted that the
barrel be removed, when Haynes sd
mitted that he had punched" 1t.
f. c. Archibald then spoke in
Haynes behalf.
He attempted to throw the weight of
guilt onto the shoulders of Howe, who
had already been convicted.
Haynes, he argued, was intoxicated
at the time of the larceny.
o. NJ. Barber closed the case for the
prosecution this morning He could
not see where the slightest reason to
doubt Haynes guilt could be found.
Judge Watson charged the jury that
Haynes would be guilty if the case
were proved against him, no matter
how Hows'S trial might have resulted.
That Haynes was intoxicated at the
time, could not be an excuse for the
srinej II they found he committed it.
The jury came in at 2 O'Clock this
afternoon and returned a verdict Of
guilty" by its foreman, W, F. Smith.
Fred Woodward was put on trial in
county court this morning for intoxi-
cation. He was convicted in lhe mum
icipal court In August and appealed
from the decision. The prosecution
Is in charge of the states attorney and
Edward II. Holden. Woodward is de-
Tended by c. II. Mason and F C. Ar
