CANTON BOYS
Camping Out and Having
Some Fun

Near Bolivar, Aug. S.-Seven young
men from Canton came down here
Sunday morning after travelling all
night and pitched their tent between
the turbid waters of the canal and the
river bank. They call themselves the
X. d. A. outing club, which being in
terpreted is thought to mean Keg
Drainers association. Those compos-
ing the party are Albert and Clarence
Volzer, Ross Lloyd, Frank Wetzel, Will
liam Perrot, Elmer Race, Walter
Stanton and William Merriman.
Sunday morning they breakfasted on
ham and potatoes and the next three
meals were fried potatoes Merriman
Is the cook and for variety he leaves
the salt out every other meal. The
boys expect to have fresh sardines
every few meals, as they are catching
minnows by the dozen, but no big fish
The first night in camp none of the
boys slept much The hooting of the
owls, blending with the singing of mos
quitoes and the bass believing of the
bull frog, made such a frightful med
ley that sleep went off down the tow
path of the canal and did not return
until about daylight. AS result the
boys are all sleeping more or less to-
day (Monday) 1t is reported that
Merriman tried to ride across the river
on a spade. A. Volzer is already home
sick and wrote a letter back to his
folks. The boys are rigging up a
windlass on the bank to pull out the
big carp They will get a suction
pump to get the mud out of the fish
after catching them. They caught two
turtles that will be used as watch
charms, In spite of all reports they
are having a good time and will re-
main as long as the grub holds out.

AT PORT ARTHUR, SAYS A
CORRESPONDENT
The Garrison is Famine
Stricken
HOSPITAL LIST LARGE

Report That General StoesseI Com
mitted Suicide, But the Fact Sup
prsssed-Beiieved to Be Untrue--A
Russian Officer Says Garrison is Pre-
pairing for the Supreme Attack.
London, Aug. 9-The Shang Hal oor-
respondent of the London Morning
Post, cabling this morning states that
he has received information from a re
liable source" that the conditions with
in the fortress of Port Arthur are ap-
palling. The garrison is famine strick-
en- and has been deprived of meat or
vegetables, other than rice, for weeks.
The results is that the sufferings Of
the sick and wounded are indescrib.
able.
According to this correspondent
there are upward of 10000 on the hos
pital list and the doctors are unable
to attend to all of them. This lat
ter state Of affairs has resulted in
many deaths of patients who might
have been saved had they had proper
care.
The correspondent winds up his dis
patch with the amazing announce cement
that General Stoessel who was In su.
preme command In Port Arthur, COM
mitted suicide because he was unable
to relieve the sufterings of the brave
men under his command. This fact
has been suppressed, declares the cor.
respondent because OF the effect It
would have upon the garrison.
None Of the other London dailies
have any information of the Posts
advices and they are not generally
credited. 1t is pointed out that, so far
as General stoessel is concerned, dis.
patches signed by him have been given
out at st. Petersburg and that refu.
gees who have won their way out Of
the fortress during the last fortnight,
claim that General Stoessel has been
the life of the siege and has been very
much in evidence on the defenses at
all hours Of the day and night. That
there is suffering in Port Arthur is un.
doubtedly true as also that many of
the garrison are sick and wounded,
but the Post correspondents figures
are much too high and are undoubted-
ly exaggerated. ~

POOR TROMBETTII
The Sad Tale of the Professor ana
the Journalist.

The Sad Tale of the Professor ana
the Journalist.
Professor Trombetti, whose praises
were so much sung in the foreign press
as knowing the greatest number Of
languages of any one ever born, relates
an anecdote of himself which occurred
just after he was discovered" In
Rome he was so pestered by journal
lists that his patience at last gave way,
and when cornered by the gentlemen
of the press his language became dis
tinctly lurid.
One day as he was coming out of the
central postofice a frank looking
young man stepped up to him, and,
holding out his hand, said: 81 am so
glad to make your acquaintance; 1
have been trying to find you for days"
"And may 1 inquire with whom 1 am
speakingY' "Why, am X! Not q
near relation to be sure, but near
enough to offer you congratulations"
etc Professor Trombetti, reassured,
and glad to get hold of some one to
unburden himself to, took the stran-
gers arm, and, as they went down the
street, gave, in emphatic terms, a
description of his sufferings, his opin-
ion of journalists, and, incidentally,
much information about himself which
the papers had been vainly signing for.
Finally they parted with an engage
ment for dinner the next evening.
That night the professor was sitting
TRANQUILITY in a restaurant, the observed
of all observers, when suddenly he was
seen to spring to his feet with a smoth-
cred exclamation. His friends crowded
about for an explanation, but he could
only sit down weakly and point to his
newspaper, the Giornale d'Italia.
There, in large print, were his impru-
dent revelations of the afternoon. He
had been done" by journalist.-Pall

A Terrifying Adventure With n Mo-
ment of Deadly Peril.
Mr.. Stanhope Hall, author of Given.
ty Years at Sea- was not much more
than boy when he had the following
curious and terrifying adventure, the
recollection of which haunted him all
his life! The ship on which he was
making his first voyage was loading
cotton in Mobile bay, and the captain
had sent him in small boat to get
some newspapers from a big side
wheel steamer which lay near by.
In trying to bring the boat up to. the
steamer, he says, upset myself and
went down. 1 could not swim, and
struggled in hopeless terror. When 1
came to the surface 1 found myself in
the brackets of the great wheel. They
were green with river moss and Slip
perry as ice, but 1 managed to get
astride of one and regain my breath.
As held on, painting from my plunge,
a thrill of horror ran through me. The
wheel had slowly begun to revolve. In
agony 1 shouted, but in that great
wheel box my voice was as nothing.
Slowly the wheel turned, carrying me
upward. When l reached the top 1
should be ground to pieces, or, If by
chance escaped that fate, 1 should be
drowned when 1 was again drawn un-
der the wheel into the fearful suction.
Again and again 1 shouted. Finally,
as was nearing the top, a little trap
door opened and some one looked into
the box. 1 opened my mouth to call
once more, but my throat was paralyz-
ed. For a moment 1 could not utter a
note
The trapdoor was just closing when,
with one mighty effort, my voice came
back and 1 screamed. The man open
ed the trap again, saw me, sprang upon
the wheel and snatched me into safety.

THE THREE ANGELS.
a Bit of Hungarian Folklore Illus
trating German Firmness.

trdtAnB herman F1rmneBs.
Here is bit of Hungarian folklore:
After the Lord had decided to expel
Adam and Eve from paradise he sent
Gabriel, the Hungarian angel, to carry
out his order. Now, from the eating of
the fruit of the forbidden tree Adam
and Eve had become quite shrewd, and
they were endeavoring to get out of
the fix as best they could, so they pre-
pared big feast, received Gabriel
with the utmost kindness and sought
to win his heart by lot of affection
ate words. They succeeded. 1t grieved
Gabriel to eXpel these kind hosts from
their home. He therefore returned to
the Lord with the request that some
body else be charged with this un-
pleasant mission.
Thereupon the Lord sent Florian, the
Rouman1an angel, because the Lord
knew Florian to be more obedient and
less magnanimous. Adam and Eve
were just dining when Florian, hat and
large cane in hand, stepped in. He sa-

then told why he had come. "Have
you it in writing?" inquired Adam Sc
verely. NO" stammered the visitor,
and, frightened, he returned to his
heavenly abode.
Then the Lord sent Michael, the Ger
man angel. Adam and Eve at once set
to work preparing even a richer meal
than had been served Gabriel, think
ing they might induce Michael to be
lenient. So the very best things were
served, and there was no scarcity of
beer and good sausages. Michael ate
until he could hardly even wheeze
Then he arose and, drawing his sword,
said, "Now you get out of this!" Ad-
am and Eve tried all their little tricks
to stay. They appealed to his mercy
and implored him to consider how
nicely they had treated him. But all in
vain. Michael remained firm, merely
saying, 'It must be-" And he drove
