A YANKEE CAPTAINS NERVE.

In parallel ffty-seven degrees, in the
dog watch, 4 to 6 p. M, when the chief
officer came on deck to relieve the Sec
ond officer, he swiftly cast his eye to-
ward the horizon in the direction of
the wind, then at the struggling can
vas, and particularly at the main top
gallant sail, which threatened every
minute to blow away. AS nautical
etiquette forbids an officer in charge
to alter n when the captain is on
deck without his command or consent,
the chief officer, after his hurried sur
vey, said: Captain Mather, that
main topgallant sail is laboring very
| hard" "It is drawing well-let it
| stand, Mr.. Bartlett" was the reply.
At 6 o'clock, when the second officer in
turn relieved the first, he also gave a
| rapid glance about, and said: "Cap-
tain Mather, that main topgallant sail
is struggling very hard" 1T holds a
| good full; let it stans," Mr.. McFar-
land" was the reply. Even the old
sea dogs among the crew begged the
petty officers to send them up to take
in sail, while it was held safe to do SO.
| AS the helmsman turned his wheel,
every turn of a spoke would make the
ship jump in the water like a fright
ened bird. Men were stationed at
every Delaying pin, holding halyards
! and clew lines, by a single turn "un-
der and over' ready to let go and clew
up at a signal. We were making a
record passage, and sail was to be car
ried to the last minute, the utmost the
ship could bear, while every exigence
of storm was anticipated. Later in
the evening the captain could not help
asking if the crew still thought that
he had married the owners daughter.
Captain Mather illustrated then, as all
ways, a quality Of mind usually exhib-
tied by those who succeed in most any
direction-an extreme daring and ex-
IRENE caution running parallel.-At-
lantic Monthly.

TWO LIVES FOR A FRIEND.

Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his
friends" These words Of the Christ
were exemplifed when Henry Weigh,
Of Newport, and George Pletz, of Har-
risburg, un~hesitatingly faced almost
certain death to save the life of George
Smith, a companion. Their sacrifice
was successful, but Weigh and Pletz
sustained injuries which will result in
death.
The three men were railroad labor
ers and were erecting a block signal
station on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
twenty miles west of Newton Hamil-
ton, Pa. Smith was crossing the
tracks and stepped between a signal
bell crank and the rail just at the mo-
ment that a block operator around a
curve was setting a signal for a fast
passenger train that was due. Before
Smith could withdraw his foot the
crank was turned and he was caught.
Realizing that the traiH was bearing
down upon him, he shouted for help,
and Weigh and Pletz rushed to his res
cue, carrying with them a pair of crow
bars. The train swept around the
curve at the moment they reached his
side and Smith gave himself up for
lost, but his comrades did not for a
moment lose their courage. Thrusting
their crowbars under the crank they
lifted it from it's ~fastenings and Smith
fell back u Of harms way. 1t was
too late, however, for the rescuers to
save themselves. The engine hurled
them high in the air and their injuries
are so serious that they cannot -.
cover.

EXAMPLE OF JAPANESE PLUCK.

EXAMPLE OF JAPANESE PLUCK.
It was a matter Of less than half an
hour before the japanese held the
main ridge to the left, or west, of the
village Of S~uitean-za, and the great
1anking movement " e the hills was
ready to begin, from the point gained,
about 8 o'clock, writes William Dim
widdie, special correspondent for Har-
per's Weekly.
It was broiling hot at this hour, and
the motionless air and the glaring sun
promised to make the land a veritable
furnace before nightfall. The dirty
khaki uniforms Of the stockily built
soldiers were wringing with water,
but they marched forward briskly
and with no display of exhaustion,
though they had been up all night and
had already worked three hours in a
swelter Of heat.
The fourteen hours march made by
that regiment Of the Guards in the
fianking movement, would nave killed
off half the men of any European or
American force long before the Jap
anese had finished it, and were still
keen to fight, and, Notwithstanding
this, the official report says that the
left wing division did not do SO well
as was expected. Only salamanders
could have survived the heat and toll.
1t was a marvellous performance,
| and one which, at first blush, see1As
| impossible, for it necessitated travel
| ing beneath the crests of the noun
| tains, in order to be screened from the
enemy. They moved ahead on noun
tain slopes whose angle was often six.
| ty degrees. They toiled through thick
underbrush and around the bases of
rocky pinnacles 500 to 800 feet above
the valleys. One would have believed
the feat impossible for loaded men,
let alone heavily laden pack horses.
The left wing regiment marched six
miles in this fashion and threatened
Ye-shi-rei (Yanktsz'ling) in the rear of
the main position, at 5 o'clock in the
afternoon. ..

COWBOYS FIGHT WITH A STEER

COWBOYS FIGHT WITH A STEER
The great event at Cheyenne this
season was the remarkable feat of
Will Pickett, a negro hailing from Tay-
lor, Texas, who gave his exhibition
while 10000 people watched with
wonder and admiration a mere man,
unarmed and without a device or ap-
pliance of any kind, attack a fiery,
wild-eyed and powerful steer. and
throw it by his teeth. With the aid
of a helper, Pickett chased the steer
until he was in front Of the grand
stand. Then he jumped from the sid
die and landed on the back Of the an.
imal, grasped its horns, and brought
It to a stop within a dozen feet. By
a remarkable display Of strength he
twisted the steers head until it's nose
pointed straight into the air, the ami
NAL believing with pain and its
tongue protruding in it's effort to Sc
cure air. Again and again the negro
was jerked from his feet and tossed
into the air, but his grip on the horn!
never once loosened, and the steer
failed in its efforts to gore him. Cow
boys with their lariats rushed to Pick
etts assistance, but the action Of tn,
combat was too rapid for them. Be
fore help could be given, Pickett, VIII,
had forced the steers nose into th,
mud and shut off it's wind, slipped
and was tossed aside like a piece o
