STOOD BY
THE SHIP

The steamer Elwood. which long has
paddled up and down the Sound, viewing
the same well-worn scenery day bv dav
and dodglng the same old drift logs night
by night, stopped short in her waterv
tracks last night, despite the remon-
strances and entreaties OF Captain Denny
and the untrimmed and vigorous remarks
OF the first officer, who was anxious TO
reach port,
The Elwood had fixed herself for the
night ON q nice, soft mud bank about
half mile from Point Defiance and re.
fused to bulge.
The fact that there was a number OF
people aboard anxious to reach Tacoma
apparently didn't cut any figure with the
steamboat. They could stay there, ii they
wanted 70, or go on to Tacoma overland.
but the Elwood would take no land in
their transportation.
The passengers did not become panic
stricken. On the contrary, stne~ acted
like brave men and women when the catas-
lrophe occurred Nobody shouted for .he
lileboats, nor did any member of the crew
misbehave. 1t was a model company and
coolly braved the dangers of ths deep.

TOO LATE FOR PUDDING.
Ambassador Choate Tells Of Amusing
Incident at an Aristocretic
English Dinner.

Ambassador Choate tells of woman
in London society well known by rea-
son OF her penchant for dining distin-
guished persons in literary and artis-
tic circles. This woman long ago made
it an ironclad rule that no guest Of
hers, whether at table or not, should
for any reason whatever be interrupt
ed in any discourse he chose to de-
liver. Upon one such occasion, says
Mr.. Choate, toward the end of one of
the lady's dinners, and while GER
tain litterateur was holding forth at
some length with respect to the latest
novel, a guest to the right of the hos
tess was about to violate the known
rule of the head Of the mansion in
that he began to address her while an
other guest was speaking. The guilty
man was promptly admonished by a
swift glance from the hostess, where
upon the guest so reproved relapsed
into silence. After the dinner the
hostess said to him: "Now, Mr. Blank,
I'm quite ready to hear what you had
to say. I'm sure it was something of
much Importance" "Quite true re-
sponded the recipient of the lady's re-
Duke, 'br1t 1 fear that it is now too
late" ''Too latei" echoed the hostess
why. what do you mean?' "Oh, 1
was going to ask that I might have a
little more Of the iced pudding"

HFuo. FRIENDS.

The old year is drawing to a
close. You have but a few more
days to make peace with it, and
bid it goodbye forever, and to
make resolves for the future. To
stop smoking and drinking,over-
eating and sleeping, and dissi-
pating in general. To make new
resolutions to lead q better life.
To be better husbands and wives
better sons and daughters; bet
ter church mem bers, better citi-
zens in the community. Better
workers for the good of your
home, your school district, your
township, your town or city, or
your friends and neighbors.
Kick less and work more. Fret
less, and think more. Believe
that there is more good in hu-
mainly than you ever have be-
lieved before.
The milleium will not come.
and you need not have your as
cension robes ready to ascend,
nor dispose of your property ex-
pecting to go. Our advice is to
enjoy the life you live today, foI
tomorrow you may not be
Make as much of this earth as
though heaven were right here
and when you leave it, you will
be better prepared to go to a
better place than this one.

MEANING IN KOREAN FLAG.
Writer of Three Thousand Years AGO
Explains It, But His Work
Is Unintelligib1e.

The Korean ensign and merchant
flag is a white flag bearing the great
monad in blue and red This is a
symbol of great antiquity. 1t is to the
Mongolians what the cross is to. the
Christian. To them it is the sign of
deity and eternity, while the two
parts into which the circle is divide
are called the Yin and the Yan-the
male and female forces of nature.
Some 5000 years ago one of the writ
ers, speaking in reference to it, said:
''The illimitab1e produces the extreme.
The great extreme produces the two
principles. The two principles pro-
duce the four quarters, and from the
four quarters we develop the quadra-
ture Of the eight diagrams Of Feuh-
hi" This means little to us, though
the writer may have explained the
matter to his entire satisfaction. But
so much we knoW-that the symbol
had mathematical as well as an oc-
cult meaning. There Is little puzzle
connected with the Korean flag which
may or may not be perplexing to the
novice. Divide the great monad by a
straight cut into two pieces SO that
each half of the circle shall contain
an exactly equal share OF the Yin and
the Yam.
