HOME MADE TUGBOATS.

There are about half a dozen strict
ly homemade tugboats around New
York, several of them not much big
ger than whaleboats. The owners are
mostly engineers who at some time or
other succeeded in buying the hull
of some vessle. After patching IL up
they put old but serviceable engines
into her, and go out to look for busl-
ness.
Generally everyone Of the crew Of
these homemade tugboats is part

and as the expenses OF small craft like
these, when run by their owners in
person, are very light, they make
good profit.

the pink eye and the green eye. And
Moogle became furious Immediately.
Becoming furious was one of his
great specialties.
BE a pump" he yelled at the war
den. And at once the poor old man
became a big wooden pump, which
was especially hard on him, as he had
never been known to drink water since
his childhood.
You may be sure that the other
men -at-arms did not dare to laugh at
Moogle after that. Indeed, they
looked so solemn that three of them
were quite unable to smile again, but
walked around looking as if they be-
longed to a funeral instead of a cas-
tie ever after.
Moogle strode quickly to My Lady
Peachblows room. Being unaccus-
toned to polite society, he did not try
to break the ice by making a few in
troductory remarks about the weather
and the state of the money market,
but sa' abruptly:
BE my wife!"
MY Lady Beachblow looked at
Moogle's bright blue nose and at his
pink eye, which was winking violently
at the moment, and his green eye,
which was staring at her fiXedly full
of love.
She looked at his bald head, which
came to point at the top, where a
cunning little bundle of white hair
stood up straight like the remains of
a duster that has had a laborious and
Virtuous career.
She looked at his arms, one of which
The Savannah morning news., 1904-03-20

tie. He looked in through a window
and there he saw a sight that actually
made him forget his blue nose and his
pink and green eyes.
This is not surprising; for the sight
that he saw was My Lady Peachblow;
and she was so beautiful that all the
troubadours and the minstrels and the
pages of Europe got gray hair trying
to compose songs that should do her
justice.
Every day half a dozen knights
would meet under her castle wall and
fight like anything to show off before
her; and it was a common sight to
find whole mounds of knights and
squires lying around in the land wait
ing for the ambulance.
If poor old Moogle had not been so
busy sorcering he would have known
that all the handsome knights of the
country had wooed My Lady Peach
blow in vain, and men in golden
armor and in silver armor and all the
other kinds of brilliant metallic cloth
ing that was fashionable in those days
had come riding to the castle only to
ride away again disappointed.
But Moogle did not know this. And
no sooner had he seen the beautiful
face of the mistress of the castle than
he made up his mind TO marry her.
At first he was going to drive his
Red Broomstick right in through
the window; but he reflected that this
might frighten her, and be did not
propose to do anything to interfere
with his suit. So he knocked at the
gate and demanded admittance.
The grim old warder who peered
through the wicket laughed aloud
when he saw the bright blue nose and
The Savannah morning news., 1904-03-20

was long and thin, while the other was
short and fat.
And she looked at his legs. The
right leg was twisted around like a
corkscrew, and Moogle, in his BASH
fulness, curled it up and accidentally
tied il into a true lovers knot. She
looked at his left leg and it began to
tremble violently at the knees.
Then My Lady Peachblow lay back
in her chair and put her lace hand
kerchief UP to her mouth and shook
and shook.
Moogle's great intelligence imme-
diately led him to perceive that she
was laughing at him.
He united his right leg and holding
it in both hands, pounded it on the
floor. Then he ran around the room
and in another moment he disappear
ed, riding away on his Red Broom
stick so fast that he violated the speed
and road ordinances of eighteen towns
within five minutes.
And all the time he was making
frightful noises, which sounded like
the songs that a sad cat sings in the
moonlight. This was Moogle's way of
laughing.
And the reason that he was laugh
ing was this: he had torn a whole
strip out of My Lady Peachblow S
| room, including a part of My Lady's
face itself. And he had hidden the
| missing strip i'm another part of the
room with his wicked sorcery.
OF course, folk of your perspicacity
need not be told how embarrassing

The Kissing Strip
Picture Puzzle
Where the Strip That the Evil Sorcerer With the Blue Nose
and the Green and Pink Eyes Tore from My Ladys Room?
BY j. w. MULLER.

Once upon a time, which was longer
ago than the day before yesterday or
the discovery of America, and old sor-
cerer named Moogle lived in a black
forest in the middle of Europe.
He was famous aus a sorcerer who
could sorcer almost anything with
one exception. And that exception
was his own face.
He could not change that, much as
he tried; and his constant failures
made his naturally sour temper even
more pickley than it had been.
Moogle's nose was bright blue-blue
as the blue in a wash tub. And it was
as large and knoby as it was blue.
One of Moogle's eyes was green and
one was pink. This gave him strik-
ing appearance and made him quite no
ticeable even in a crowd.
The life of a sorcerer is, at best, a
lonely one; and Moogle was so morose
by nature and so sensitive about his
gaudy face that he did not even be-
long to the SorceTers' Social Club. So
he mingled very little in society and
spent most of his time in inventing
and patenting new methods of en-
chantment.
However, one day Moogle so far for
got his troubles that he made a lit
tie trip of a thousand miles or so on
his famous automobile, Red Broom
stick. and during the course of his
travels he descended near a large cas-

" I'd like to ship with you as cabin
boy I replied boldly.
First the big man looked astonish-
ed, then he laughed uproariously.
Why, ye little nipper, he shouted
at last, git home to your ma and learn
a decent trade. We don't take boys
to sea-
"In spite of my modification 1 went
around to other ships. On some 1

"At last one old skipper took me

the owners.
"The shipping masters, also called

'T went to one of these men, and
he looked me over.

II could only shake my head.

said briefly, and turned away.

WOULD YOU BE A CABIN BOY?
What Sailor Man Has to Say About 1t.
BY ALBERT SONNICHSEN.
Author of Deep Sea Vagabonds. y

In the olden times of privateers and
pirates, sailors began their careers
by running away from home to sea.
In the present day the small boys
running will cease at the gangway of
the first ship he attempts to board.
The captain will not receive him
with open arms and make him cabin
boy or midshipman at once.
There was once a boy who ran away
from his home in an interior state
and arrived in New York with 81 in
his pocket. He intended to walk along
the docks, inspect the vessels. choose
the one that suited his eye best, and
then offer his services to the skipper
as a general all round sailor boy,
such as Marryatt and Clark Russell
have described.
He carried out his plans even to
inspecting the ships. Here is his real
experience:
"A large, four-masted ship caught
my eye. The brass about her was
very bright and her paintwork was
nice and clean. The cabin looked so
smart, with little lace curtains in the
window, that 1 thought 1 would like
to be cabin boy there, where my sur
roundings would be so pleasant.
II went up the gangway and stood
on the poop. A big man in blue pa
jamas and loose slippers was pacing
up and down, smoking a pipe like
some kind old grandfather. He look
ed so nice that l went up to him at
once.
" Well. what is it boy? he said

HUNGRY UNCLE SAM
He Eats Something from Every
Country in the World, Even
the South Sea Islands.

Uncle Sam is a dreadfully hungry
person, and might we'll have been the
ogre of the old fairy stories.
He doesn't eat human beings, to be
sure, but he eats nearly everything
else that is eatable, and there is
hardly a country in the world that
does not send him something to help
satisfy his mighty appetite.
He has hammered on the table of
the earth for Butter! Butter!" till
even poor little Honduras, that hasn't
butter enough of its own, has felt inn
PEELED to respond. and last year passed
up its mite to the hungry Uncle at the
head Of the table. Uncle Sam hardly
knew that he had it, for 1t weighed
only three pounds.
And who else didn't send the frantic
eater butter? The brown men in
Asiatic Turkey hurried to pass the
plate with 10000 pounds. Wild herds
men in Tripoli gave milk to their wo-
men to churn in goatskin bags. and
sent 9S pounds to him. The kline of
Egypt furnished about the same
quantity.
Uncle Sam was even more Unsuitable
for cheese. OF course, you will be pre-
pared TO hear that Switzerland sent
him the most. Uncle Sam called for
uFe nllllOn POUNDS from that land OF
Alps and cheese air. Italy came next.
All the other big countries OF Europe
had 10 hustle 10 send him what he
wanted, and II Is surprising that they
got time 10 eat themselveF they were

Even Gibraltar which we think OF

US step ashore
No sooner did Hans and Yuly ster
ashore than many of the pygmies ran
away uttering shouts of alright, and
for a moment the king himself
seemed frightened. Not one of the
little people could put his hand on
Hans shoulder, and their visitors were
giants to them.
Yuly stopped down and picked up a
pygmy woman and kissed her, and
Hans picked up a couple of the wee
children and held both of them on
his hand, and those who had run
away came back and were no longer
afraid.
The king again motioned for them
to accompany him to the hillside.
and as they set off their was much
cheering.
Hans and Yluy had to laugh at
every step. Their shortest steps were
three times as long as the steps of
the pygmies, and they had to keep
halting. AS the people crowded at
their heels they picked up one after
another and swung them around on
their backs and shoulders, and each
was carrying full dozen when they
reached the city
1t was a very odd city. The streets
were hardly wider than sheep-paths
and the largest house no bigger than
a beehive.
"How funny" said Hans, "and what
are we to do? We could not get one

he shouted.
II nodded.
Then meet me at ten in the Brit

Il was on hand, and my delight was
great when the skipper really wanted
boy.

" We'll, you'll have to bring your
father with YOU, and have him give
his written consent. l am not going
to run chances of getting into trouble
by shipping minors
II lost that chance. Of course
couldn't produce my fathers consent,
and the captain wouldn't take me nm
der any other conditions"
This boy finally did get emplov-
ment as mess boy on an English
tramp steamer, but not until he had
suffered three months of privations
and humiliations.
That a boy cannot run away to sea
is more especially true here than in

pygmies called them posts, but they
were not as long as broomsticks and
no larger.
The ropes which held the boat were
about as heavy as string used by gro
GERS, but they had used a great many
of them.
AS Hans and Yuly awoke and gazed
around them they saw at least hun
dred of the little people before them
There were men, women and children,
and some of the children scampering
about were no larger than 10-cent
dolls.
1t was clear that the pygmies were
as much surprised as their visitors.
Nearest to the boat were three men
who were much better dressed than
any others, and the one who stood in
the center bore himself like king.
When it was seen that Hans and Yuly
were awake this man gestured with his
hands and talked to them. His voice
was like a baby's, and not a word of
his language could be understood.
Hans, what is all this?'' asked
Yuly in a whisper.
'They are the pygmies we came to
seek" he replied "but 1 don't know
how we are to get along with them.
They have tied up our boat, as if we
were prisoners, but they have done

advanced a few steps nearer and
smiled and pointed to where many lit

half a mile away.
THAT must be their city up there"
said Hans, 'and he is inviting us to go
