Boats trading in the Medwsy in for
mer years rejoiced in rather curious
names. and the following was only
one of the many amusing incidents
resulting from this:

solence!s roared the coast guardsman.
Again he put the question, and. receiv-
ing the same reply, the boat was com
manded to remain where she was.
In the morning two boats were seen
keeping guard. The officials, as they
boarded the vessel with full authority
to seize the offenders, observed for the
first time the name painted in large
letters. Amid the laughter and jeers
of the crew of the What's That to

The Good Queen.

AWA wise men.9
The wise men came,
Sand Columbus told them
his story.
They said: SHear him Hear him
He is crazy. He says the word is round.
We all know it is fat3
They laughed and laughed at him.
SWELL, , said one of the. wise men,
Slet him sail west. When he comes to
the edge of the great sea he will fall
over. Then we will be rid of him.3
The king told Columbus to wait.
He waited seven long years.
Then the king said: 81 will not help
you. l do not believe your story.o
Poor Columbus was so sad. He was
now an old man. His hair was snow
white.
He said to little Diego: eCome. my
boy. We will find another king. We
will 60 to France
They set out to walk. 1t was long,
long way. The road was hot and
dusty.
Poor little Diego was so tired, but
he was too brave to cry.
By-and-by they came to a large
stone house. Some good men lived
there.
Columbus Knocked at the gate, and
said: SGood father, my little boy,
Diego, is very hungry. Will you give
him q cup of water and a piece of
breRd2@
sYes.o said the good man. SCome
in and rest a while.S
The good man was very kind to
Columbus and Diego. He gave them
something to eat. Then little Diego
went to sleep.
The good father asked Columbus
where he was going.
Then Columbus began to talk about
the far-Away lands. He took out his
maps and charts.s He showedlthe good
father how one might sail around the
world to India. He said no one would
help him.
The good man said: xDo not go yet.
Rest here a while. know the good
queen we'll. will write and ask her
to help yOu.0
So Columbus waited In few days
the queens letter came.
1t said SSend Columbus to me.'
This made Columbus very happy.
Once more he went to see the king and
queen of Spain.
This time they listened to him. Then
the king said: eve cannot help you.
We have no moneys
Poor Columbus went away very sad.
But some one ran after him, and
called: columbus. come back. The
queen wants you.S
So Columbus went back. The queen
said: eYou shall have the money. /
sell my gold riggs and chains. Then
l will buy you ships.a
Now Columbus and Diego were
happy. They thought their troubles
were over. But they we're not.
Columbus had ships. But it took a
long time to find sailors. Men we're
afraid to 60 so far out on the ocean.

OF A MERCHANT
San Francisco Grain Dealer
Is Almost Suffocated in
Fire That Destroys Home
BUILDING TOTAL LOSS
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAUSALITO, Dec. 11.-Fire broke
out in the beautiful residence Of VIII
liam Berg, the well-known grain mer-
chant Of San Francisco. this afternoon
and in a short time nothing remained
Of the structure. All the priceless
antique furniture and ornaments in
the house were saved. Berg, who was
in the house when the fire started, was
nearly suffocated by the thick smoke,
but luckily reached place of safety.
The fire, presumably caused by a de-
fective fiue, started in the attic Of the
house Shortly after noon Berg start
ed a fire in a CRATE which had not
been used for some time. Some .ex-
celsior was burned and it is supposed
that the burning straw found an exit
near the attic. An alarm of fire was
turned in and in a few minutes the
Sausalito fire department responded
and did noble work. Every bit Of fur
niture in the house was saved and had
the fighters had more water and bet
tel fire fighting apparatus the residence
might have been saved. By persistent
fighting the men managed to save the
adjoining residence Of p. Wheatland.
A few days ago Mr.. Berg received q
load of antique furniture from Europe
and had the fire started at night prob
ably everything would have been lost.
