Two ocean liners which reached port yester-
day bore marks attesting proof OF the exciting
stories their passengers told of stormy trips.
La Savoie of the French Line. had a big hole in
the front of a deckhouse, made by tidal wave
which flooded the saloon dining room while the
passengers were at luncheon.
The New-York. of the American Line. reported
the loss OF sailor. who was trying to repair
damage wrought by waves. after thrilling at

Ernest H. Crowhurst of The Philadelphia

the NewYork. told the following story OF the
loss of the sailor:

cable and gear. cast adrift, were pounding the
plates of the ships bow threatening To stave
hole in them. Many of the bolts at the heel Of
the bowsprit We're loosened. and that heavy
timber was in imminent danger OF being carried
away.
The watch duty was sent forward to make
repairs and clear away the wreck of the bob

man. an Austrian. who was making his first
voyage on the New-fork. was lowered from the
bowsprit 10 clear away the wreckage In some
way the line which was made fast around his
waist became unhitched. and he fell into the
directly under the steamers forefoot.
The ship was hove to at the time. He seized
one of the parted cables Of the bobstay and
hung on until line thrown TO him. He
made half hitch In the line. and the sailors on
deck were about to haul on it. when
usually heavy caught their shipmate and
fairly the inboard end OF the line from their

It paid out over the rail like harpoon line

and made fast some sixty fathoms had run out.

before the benumber sailor could seize it he was

sides of the ship again and again. and was bad

task When something over sixty fathoms of
line had been paid out the sailors holding the
inboard end had barely foot left in their grasp.

Peking Jan. 1o.-Predictions In the nauVe

causing great uneasiness Many Chinese fear
repetition of the scenes of pillage and murder
which made the year 1900 memorable.
Numbers Of the employees on the railroad be-

deserted their posts. thinking that the country
traversed by the railroad will surely be the

Reports from Manchuria are to the effect that
there is great military activity there. The rail-
roads are bringing troops from Russia. and the
women at Port Arthur and New Chwang
preparing TO depart. The Russian general at
New-Chwang has been called to Port Arthur for
service.
Every steamer for Japan is carrying the
Japanese from North China who belong to the

"Of course" she said, 1--WE will be

mo, indeed" laughed Reuben's
wife. ~ am too proud of my new
name to resign It, Mrs. Butler, Senior,
If you please, and Mrs Butler, Junior:
but Mrs. Butler intend to be-"
So it went on. If the mother-in-
law wanted the cleaning done with
sand instead Of sapolio, Clarlssa had
some gay little excuse, but she did It
her way. To suggestions that she
should employ her spare time piecing
quilts, Clarissa reminded her Of the
dozens already in the house, and said
she preferred to read and know what
was going on In the world, that her
husband might not be ashamed of her
Mrs. Butler, the elder, by and by
threw off her elaborate politeness, and
used the old tactics that had been so
effective with her husband and son,
but she found an antagonist worthy
of her steel. Clarissa would not quar-
rel, neither would she yield. 1t was
not pleasant to be always on the de
fensive. and sometimes not spoken to
for week at a time, or to have her
little dinners and parties spoiled by
well-tlmed illness of the old lady.
The second time she tried that was
when the Whist Club met there, and
Clarissa wanted to have everything
particularly nice; and, much to the
old lady's astonlshment, a nurse
walked into her darkened bedroom.
Why. what are you here for, Mrs.
ToddY' she asked, sitting up in her
surprise.
Your daughter sent me to take care
of you; she couldn't leave her party.
and she said she'd be worried"
You go out of that door, Jane
Todd. When | want a nurse I'll send
for one I'm going to get up"
"Clarissa's done her sight of
good" thought Mrs. Todd. "She's get
ting to be different woman, and Reu.
ben's actually growing fat. Clarissa
is very kind to her, but she says she's
going to keep her own individuality,
whatever that is, rather guess the
trainings been turned around, and It's
the old lady herself that's trained."-

the girl that she needn't be too sure
of him, and SO she made him take
Matilda Springer to the party. Why.
Clarissa was queen compared to
Fannie West; she was SO pretty and
dainty, and her folks come from the
East while the Vests were nothing
but trash.
No doubt the silly girl was bound
to do all she could to get her Reu-
ben; he was the handsomest boy In
town.
Who would have thought Clarissa
would have been so resentful, but II
must be made up, and that right
quickly.
Reuben arose after his nights re
bellion, expecting to find a few cold
scraps for breakfast, and his mother
complaining and cross; but instead
there was fresh coffee, beefsteak and
eggs, and hot wafiies Dinner, too,
was perfect, and his mother the soul
Of good nature.

you come home this evening? OF
course, | mean If 1t won't inconven-

why, of course, mother"
She made other occasions. Mrs
Brown wanted some slips; would Re,i-
ben take them around as he went to
the post office?
Perhaps Clarlssa, too, had heard OF
Fannie West; anyway, she was friend
ly, and before they knew 1t they were
lovers again, with the wedding day
set.
Il shall have them live right here
with me-" the old lady thought, com.
placently, "and | shall train Clarissa
In my ways. Everything must be done
as l do it; then l can be sure of Reu
ben's comfort or course l shall be
mistress"
II know what 1t will be living
there" Clarlssa was thinking, but
love Reuben, and l am willing"
The night they came home from the
wedding journey Mrs. Butler had 4
beautifully prepared supper.
1T is time old people like me had
a rest" she said. Il shall give every
thing into your charge"
"Then I'll begin by presiding over
the teapot" replied Clarissa, gayly
sitting down rs she spoke before the
tray.

blankly, and she moved stiffly toward
