PRESS COMMENTS ON
SINKING OF THE NORGE.

The ocean tragedy on the sunken rock
near Rockall was one of the most disas-
trops on record and it has spread grief
over , large section of this country where
the families of the victims are located.
The passengers were OF the more desirable
class Of emigrants and this adds to the
horrible HsaSter[Iersex GaHy-Journal.
--latest accounts which the cable brings
us of the awful disaster on Rockall Reef
explain that the Observation-Disclosures
liner Norge was drifted by a strong II
rent to her grave during the prevalence
of a heavy mist and fog which prevented
the lookouts from seeing the danger.
This terrible catastrophe apparently en-
phasizes the necessity for a change of the
regular transatlantic summe route now
followed by steamers running between
Norway and the United States.-New
York Herald.
Isn't ten minutes rather a short time
for a ship with water-tight compartments
to keep afloat after running on a rockY-
New York World.
The Scadinavians have a tradition of
seamanship which is continuous from the
times of the Vikings, and 1t is to be
hoped that the captains version of the
conduct of his crew, which ,c~ontradicts
reports of cowardice, is the true one. T.
New York Times.
After all, what was probably the most
serious factor in the whole unhappy com
bination of circumstances as the weakness
of the ships bulkheads. Had these been
absolutely secure and had the doors in
them been closed Immediately after she
struck, the invading sea might have been
confined to the forward compartment.
To the wideawake ship owner and shir
; captain the loss Of the Norge will sug-
gest many morals, but the most import.
ant of them all is, Look out for youl
b~ulkheads New York Tribune.
The circumstances under which til,
Norwegian steamer Norge, from Copenl
hagen to New York, was thrown away
, with nearly eight hundred persons OF
board on Rockall Reef, some two hun,
bred miles off the west coast of Scotland
have not been explicitly stated. Perhaps
after this dreadful demonstration Of ii,
danger the management of the line will
decide to abandon the extreme northerly
route, which it now has the monopoly,
and to send its v essels over the Longer
but safer course through the English

is ably looking after the affairs
of collective humanity. His

purely benevolent, in the inter

On the | It'll inst. after several
days of spirited debate, which
developed much opposition to the

the st. Louis Exposition the sum

House, General Grosvenor of

btain the money from banks or
private individuals. 1t was as
serted that millions of money
had been sunk in permanent i'm
provements fer the benefit of st.
Louis, and that in this way the
city was receiving back much of
the money it had put into the
enterprise. Congressman Crum-
packer of Indiana closed the
debate with a fervid burst of
oratory which elected cheers,
and the bill was adopted by a
large majority. He said the

larger than was at first antici-

G~rmany, Italy, Japan and
many other nations had de-

JUST LIKE HATEFUL MAN.
How He Kept His Seat in crowdcd d
Street Car

Three women stood before him in
the crowded Chestnut street car and
glared Indignantly at the newspaper
which he kept spread before his face.
This continued from Sixteenth street
TO Twelfth. Then he put down the
paper and half arose.
Take this seat, madam" he polite
ly said.
The three exchanged uncertain
glances.
Il mean the elderly lady" he still
politely exclaimed.
Immediately all three of the women
turned their eyes abstractedly toward
the advertising cards and became inn
mensely interested in the legends
written there.
Then the man slipped back into his
seat and quietly resumed the reading
OF his newspaper.-Philad Press.

me a position in his bank. with

"oh. that's splendid" exclaimed
Jessie. Are you sure you will not
be disappointed? Is 1t all arranged
beyond any doubt?"
Here is the check said General
Garden. with some surprise. Why
do you ask, Jessie?'
Because | wish to go to Paris as
soon as possible was the answer.

Certainly. my pet"
Arthur Morris called that evening,
and vainly attempted to persuade her
TO spend the summer in bingham. and
postpone her trip abroad until autumn.
He bade her an effusiye farewell,
and Jessie gave happy sigh of re
lief when the train rolled out from the
station.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1904-09-03

The old man mad~ no reply and an
interval of silence followed. She felt
that his eyes were upon her. not un-
kindly. but searching. friendly and
magnetic. Almost unconsciously she
addressed him:
Have you received any word or
heard anything from John. Mr.. Burt?"
He paused for a moment as IL to
weigh his words.
Il have heard from him." he said
deliberately. He is alive and we'll"
Alive and Welt" she exclaimed,
her eyes glistening with excitement.
He is alive and we'll" repeated
Peter Burt. This strange interview
took place more than two years be
fore James Blake returned from Cal
ifornia. and as has been narrated in
advertently gave to Peter Burt his
first verbal information concerning
John Burt.
Listen TO me, my child" said Peter
Burt. impressively. "and have faith in
every word | say 70 you. John is in
far-off land. and there he shall remain
until the time ordained for his re-
turn. Seek not &c call him away
from fields not yet harvested. / am
four-score and more years old, yet
shall / live long after his return, and
he and his shall be the joy of my
closing days. Youth is impatient, but
it is powerless to check Gods plans.
Do you believe what have told you,
my child?"
Il do" answered Jessie Garden.
and her voice and the confident look
in her eyes added emphasis to her
declaration.
Peter Burt abruptly changed the
subject, nor did he return to 1t. For
nearly three hours they talked on
various topics. and never once did
Peter Burt lead the conversation in a
direction not entertaining to his fair
young visitor. Not until the great rock
to the west of the house threw its
long shadow over them did Jessie look
at her watch. With an exclamation of
surprise she arose to go.
You have made this afternoon a
very happy one for me, my child" he
said, as he lifted her to the saddle.
He bowed his gray head and raised
his powerful arms.
May God bless and keep you, my
daughter"
Jessie rode home in the fading sun
light. great joy in her heart. He
is alive and well!" she repeated, time
and time again.
A week later Jessie sailed for
France. It was nearly two years be-
fore she completed her studies, and
again entered Boston harbor.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1904-09-03

Jessie remained behind. Back
through the swiftly-fiying years her
fancy wandered to the summer day
when. under the tuition of sturdy
farmer lad, she fisned for crabs over
the side OF the bridge.
Did John Burt yet live? Did she
yet hold the place in his heart she oc-
cupied on that night. when. under the
old NAPLES, she rested against his
breast and bade him a sad farewell?
Would he return? When? The little
brook. flowing towards the ocean on
the outgoing tide, seemed the sole
connecting link between the past and
the future
The clatter of hoofs aroused Jessie
from her reverie. She looked up to
see Edith coming towards her.
What attraction has that muddy
old creek?" demanded Edith. Come
on, Jessie; uncle Tom has sounded
the horn for dinner"
On the morrow Edith and Mrs.
Bishop went to Boston on a shopping
expedition, but they could not per
suade Jesise TO accompany them. In
the afternoon she ordered her horse
saddled, and, declining an escort. soon
disappeared in a turn Of the road
Half an hour later she stopped in
front of Peter Burts farmhouse.
She had not dismounted when the
great oaken door swung back and
Peter Burt came towards her. There
was a kindly CLEAN in his eye. as.
with a courtly air. he bowed and
greeted her.
1T is thoughtful of you TO remem-
Der me. my child" he said, as he gave
her his hand and helped her to dis
mount. Jasper, take care of Miss
Gardens horse, We will sit in the
shade OF the trees. it is cool and
pleasant here. How is your father,
my child?"
HE is very we'll" answered Jessie.
Since you saw him he has had finan-
cial trouble. but his affairs are in
better shape now. He lives in New
York"

Transformation of Shabby Man.


A certain New York man whose
bank account is so fat that 1t takes
six figures to measure It, used to 70
around looking reprehensibly shabby.
Recently there has been a change in
his appearance. Nowadays his at
tire is really natty and he shaves at
least three times a week.
One day the shabby looking man
went into ]. Pierpont Morgan's Office
on business connected with charity.
He asked to see Mr.. Clarke, who
looks after some of the charity af-
fairs in which Mr.. Margan is inter
ested.
''Mr. Clarke is not in now" said one
OF the clerks. "If you will come to-
morrow you may be able to catch him
and possibly he will help you a little" !"
The shabby-looking man thought
that closing sentence sounded rather
queer.
Thank you" he said, sarcastically.
You are very kind"
That's all right" replied the clerk.
i've been broke myself
The shabby-looking man saw light.
"Oh." he said.
Since then the shabby looking man
has ceased to be shabby.

CHAPTER XIX.
Two STRANGE Interviews.

It was delightful TO be again IN the
old-fashioned country house overlook
ing the ocean. Jessie confessed to
Edith Hancock that her anxiety to
return to Paris was assumed.
II would be perfectly happy in this
dear old place all summer-were it
not for one discord.' she said to Edith
as they galloped along the beach the
first evening after their arrival in
bingham. "Yonder is a suggestion of
what is driving me to foreign land"
Jessie pointed with her riding whip
at the red-tiled roof of the Morris man.
sion, seen several miles away through
d cleft in the hills.
do you mean that you are flying
from Arthur Morris?" Edith's dark
eyes opened wide.
II do. prefer the society of strang-
ers abroad rather than to tolerate his
occasional presence here" answered
Jessie, biting her lip in vexation.
They cantered in silence until they
came to II ,old bridge where Jessie
first met J1T. Burt. There she reined
in her bay.
We'll let the horses rest here a
moment" she said. Il always liked
this spot. Isn't the view charming
across the level of the marsh to the
rocks and the dark fringe OF pines be-
yond"
Its much better at the top of the
hill" insisted Edith and wondered
what Jessie could and to admire in
the prosaic surroundings. Come on.

conferences with Arthur Morris One
night he greeted Jessie with unusual
tenderness. The old proud light was
in his eyes His shoulders were
thrown back and his step was elastic.
