THE DERELICTION' OF
CAPTAIN PARKS
on J. c. pLuMMER.

Copyright 1904, Daily Story Pub. Coz
i've a charge to keep,
A God to giorif-y-y"
So sang Captain Jared Parks, as he
peacefully sat on the cabin house of
the pungy Betsy Fuller. lying at an
Choir in the inlet awaiting favorable
wind for Baltimore.
Captain Parks had recently expert
enced a change of heart during a re-
vfval service. hence his song of praise,
hence his peacefulness during pro-
voking calm. 1t was provoking be-
cause the Betsy Fuller was loaded with
watermelons, the first shipment from
the western shore, and naturally her
skipper wished to be among the first
to land his luscious cargo in the city
Along the deck, with a narrow pas
sage way in the middle, were piled
hundreds of melons. Symmetrical pear
shaped and some round as cannon
ball. but all bearing beneath their
green rinds a message of the best OF
cheer to hungry mortals. Captain
Parks was proud of his cargo, and Sc
was Ned, the deck hand. That sable
seaman, who had already devoured two
"passabiy-sized melons" passed his
hand longingly over huge specimen
and murmured:
DE Lords own eatin' is a watermil-
yum"
A boat put out from the pungy Dart

the inlet. and Captain Ezra Wheelock

rating with vigor, IN beat you to Bal

THE Betsy Fuller might run
aground" said Captain Parks, satiri-
cally; then you'd have a chance, Ezry."
"A ten-dollar note says I'm first at
the wharf" said Wheelock, producing
a note that had done loyal service as a
circulating medium.
This was touching Captain Parks in
tender spot. Among the many
crosses which he had taken up as a
converted man was the giving up of
betting. Captain Parks loved to bet,
and In the days of cakes and ale he
would bet on most anything offered
He shook HIS head

To visitor to the South, the scene at

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE
HENNEPIN WATERWAY

The Hennepin canal is now APP
preaching completion as the water
from Rock river Will be turned in
next fall and by July l. 1905, the en-
tire system is expected to be open for
navigation.
The main canal from Hennepin to
Rock Island is nearly 90 miles long,
while the feeder from Rock Falls to
the junction north of Sheffield is %
miles. The feeder is the same size as
the main canal and will carry the same
volume Of water. Boats and barges of
COO ton burden can navigate this ca
nal, which is double the size of the
boats on the Erie canal.
+. Anybody can navigate this canal as
it is a public highway and the gov
eminent maintains its expenses. The
propelling power viii be steam tugs,
and gasoline engines. The bridges
will not admit of a vessel with a
smoke stack more than II feet high.
The locks are the finest in the world,
and the only ones made of concrete.
These locks have been inspected by
distinguished engineers from Europe.
notably Count Won Wesseinberg. civil
engineer for his imperial majesty,
Kaiser William. Vessels drawing
nearly feet can safely navigate the
canal. Shipments of coal. lumber. salt.
lime. cement and other bulky material

benefit. however, to the general pub
