scarcely account for. This dread, how

AN ATTACK AT SEA.
How Expedition of Small Boats Goes
About Capturing Hostile Ship.

How Expedition of Small Boats Goes
About Capturing Hostile Ship.
Imagine a hostile ship lying at an.
chor in an apparently secure position
on dark and cloudy night. There is
just enough breeze and sea to make
sounds on the water indistlnct. Around
a low headand half mile away from
the anchored vessel steal four or 1--we
boats, pulled with mufiled oars and
filed with armed men, They approach
nalselessly.
Perhaps they are not discovered and
thus reach the sides of the ship. The
next instant the armed men were
pouring over her bulwarks and a deS-
perate fight takes place on her decks.
Perhaps they are discovered before
they reach the vessels side. The
alarm is given. The men in the boats
hear It, and lash their oars through
the water in a determined effort to
reach the ship before the rapid fire
guns can open upon them, Flashes of
fire illumine the night. The search,
lights send out shafts of bllndlns
white. The sharp peals of the six
three Founders, the rapid hoarse bark,
ing of Hotchklss revolving cannon, the
vicious sputter of Gatlings, break
upon the frightened air Give way
with a wilir shout the officers Of tie
boats, as the men bend to the oars and
the light guns in the bows hurl IL cir
defiant answers back at the wall-sided
ship. As the boats sweep up to the
vessels side, gongs clang and ratt!es
sound, calling away the rifemen to re-
pei boarders from the boats. If the
boats crews can board the ship and
clap down her matches before the crew
gets on deck, theirs is the victory; bur
if her secondary battery is manned and
her rihemen stationed before the
boats are alongside, then good-by to
the boat expedition; for there is moth.

that this expanse Of wood might be
improved by a little ornamentation.
lie picked up the poker heated il
red-hot and began to sketch in bold
design. The result pleased him so
much that he elaborated his work and
began to attempt other fire pictures on
panels of wood. These met with a
ready SALE and Cranch soon gave all
his time to his new art. This was the
beginning of what Is now known as py.
rography, The poker artist of to-day
uses many different shaped tools and
has a special furnace in which they
are kept heated. The art has been
elaborated greatly, The knots, curls
and tibers Of the wood are often
worked into the design and delicate
tinting produced by scorching the
panel.

TooT FOR MISSOURI CORN.

ON the Inside.

The Joplin Globes poet, having read that
Missouri beats the world in the production
of corn, took his horn in hand and blew these
few blasts in celebration Of the fact:
"When you think about Missouri and are
wont to toot her horn, please to give pass
ing mention to her golden yield of corr
Thugh she sets the pace industrial in ap-
pies rosy red, and in other lines of effort ia

she's come into her own as the state where
in the biggest. crop Of yellow corn is grown.
The bureau of statistics agricultural relates
that Missouri now has distsnced all her sis
terhood of states in the number of acres
dedicated unto corn and the number Of
bushels from each fruitful acre born. The
statistics draw comparisons, which show
upon their face that Miss Prohibition Kan
sas is assigned to second place, and ambitious
Oklahoma, of whom dealis heard, the facts
and icy figures stick in corner labeled third.
So hereafter, when you feel inclined to toot
the old states horn, don't forget TO blow =
blast or two in honor of her corn

SUFFRENUS.

guess liked Suffrenus just
Because he used to come
And crook his elbow up, and ask
If he could see me home.
We didn't go to the same church.
I'm Baptist through and through;
suffrenus Presbyterian.
The bluest of the blue.
It didn't matter If I was
AS plain as plain could be,
Suffrenus always seemed to have
A notion after me.
My! plenty girls about the town
Would give a lot to talk
And chatter with Suffrenus when
He went to take a walk.
Suffrenus couldn't sing bit
A note to him was blind;
He didn't dress so very loud.
But, ah! he was so kind.
He had cowlick on his head,
And freckles9on his nose;
: But love don't never bother with
Such little things as those.
His letters used to come to me
With funny words to spell;
Suffrenus owned hundred COWS
And meadow land as well.
Suffrenus couldn't dance step
TOO bashful,' so he said:
But dancing never made the man
A proper man to wed.
Suffrenus owned a clever nag
I'll tell it If I must;
His buggy never used to take
The other peoples dust.
Also he owned the incest farm
The Lord has ever made,
And so between us both, you see,
I never was afraid.

The next few weeks may be passed
over in silence. Huston's frame Of
mind defies description in cold type.
When his wife.s bill was filed and his
lawyer called him in to discuss 1t, a
great light broke upon him. Then his
temper asserted itself and he disdaired
explanations.
The case went to trial, and the court
room was crowded, attracted by tie
promise of sensational testimony. The
case of the plaintiff was brought 70 a
dramatic close by the testimony of Mr..
Hodges regarding her discovery of Illus.
ton descenting from a cab bearing the
number 1476.
All eyes we're on the defendant. He
laughed sardonically.
Hardened wretch" murmur2d the
crowd.
Huston's lawyer called the Officials Of
the bank to testify that Huston was at
his desk from $3.50 to II: 80 on the morn
ing of September 10. Then Ben Phillips
was called and told the story of The cab
ride in about six sentences, but with
many grins.
Let us draw the curtain upon the end
ing of tAe case, of Mrs. Huston's deep
contrition and humiliation. Let 1t only
be recorded that the cottage is again a
happy home and that houston occuries
