the struggle.
1t was skinned by a passenger and the
breast and wings spread to dry. Miss Bell
had said she wanted them for millinery
purposes. The sailors were Mortified and
openly showed their displeasure and their
fear of disaster. Strangely enough the
breeze died down and the vessel was soon
tossing about in dead calm.
That night storm came up and for
hours the little barkentine was thrown
about at the mercy of the waves 1t
drifted about for days Three of the
crew were taken sick and one died. The
rest of the crew went about sulky, moody
and muttering. Finally one of them wait

ately in favor OF the vessel and that all
went well after the bird had been thrown

Thank God there is stir today in the
minds of men and women about the ques.
ton OF divorce
II shows itself not only in me councils
Of churches and conferences among clergy
men OF different eommunions. but also in
the public press, which partly forms and
partly reflects the drift OF popular think
ing
There seems almost a unanimity Of con
vietion that somehow the frequency aud
facility Of divorce must be arrested.
There are more divorces granted in the
United States in single year than in all
the countries Of Europe put together and
the proportion Of divorces to marriages is
most startling when one realizes that in
The state OF Maine sometimes there is one
divorce to every six marriages in year
IN New Hampshire and Rhode Island one
TO every eight; in Indiana one to every five
and seyenteenths.
The frightful disproportion between the
divorces in Canada and the United States
makes our national disgrace even more
conspicuous.

SAN FRANCISCO, April PA pretty
girl and dead gooney bird came near
causing a mutiny on board the three
masted barkentine Allen that arrived here
few days ago. thirty-two days out from
Honolulu.
Captain Anderson blames the wind for
the slow voyage, but the sailors say it was
the dead gooney. 1t is common super
stitjon among sailors that the gooneys are
possessed by the souls of dead sea cap
tains during their lifetime. 1t is the pun
lshment OF the wicked skipper that when
he dies he must become gooncy bird. and
be condemned to roam the seas forever
more. The beautiful birds are never seen
near land but always far out to sea. and

To harm or kill gooney is believed by
seafaring men to be an act which invites
the greatest misfortune and disaster. When

the sailors feed the gooney birds to curry

the crew Of the Allen are firm in their
conviction that the slow voyage of the YES

The Allen was sailing along under fine
breeze one evening at sunset, making splen-
did time, when one of her passengers, Ruth
Bell, concluded that she wanted one of the

be done and baited jagged circle OF cop
