CROSSING THE BAR

Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the
bar,
When ! put out to sea.
But such tide as moving seems
asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the
boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of fare
well,
When | embark.
For tho from out our bourne of Time
and Place
The flood may bear me far,
hope to see my Pilot face to face
When have crossed the bar.
Alfred Tennyson.

as possible with cement and the shell
now stands in the admirals cabin.
Close beside it is a chilled-steel shot,
which also struck on board the Mikasa
but did little damage. The shot itself
is slightly broken at the point. The
admiral keeps on his table two beau
tiful little dwarf trees, many hundred
years old, which were presented to
him by Count Okuma. Beside them
is the inevitable smoking-box, in
which a little piece of charcoal is al
ways glowing.

paigned with him before American
Intervention: HE rs gray little
man. His clothes do not fit well, and,
perhaps, If you saw it in a photograph
his figure might seem old and ordi-

keen eyes on you they strike blow
from the shoulder. You feel the

fence of men that is in those eyes and
their owner becomes giant before

in the Cascade mountains was named
after him. The feat made a "hit"
with Stevens superiors. In a recent
visit to Washington, James ]. Hill
declared that of the 100000 spent
by the Great Northern in its survey
ing, mot dollar was wasted" by
Engineer Stevens. In 1895 he was
made chief engineer of the Great
Northern, but resigned three years
later to become railroad contractor
returning to his old position in 1899.
In 1902 he was made general man.
ager as we'll, and held the dual posi-
ton until 1903, when he became the
chief engineer of the Rock Island and
later it's second vice president. Since
his connection with the Rock Island
he has made Chicago his home. He
resigned his position with the Rock
Island in May Of this year, having
been chosen as an expert by the Uni
ted States government to go to Ma
Mia with Secretary raft to report on
the feasibility of constructing 1000
miles of railroad in the Philippines.
Miss Ida M Tarbell, in McClure's
Magazine for July, makes the astonish-
ing charge that William Rockefeller,
the father of John D. Rockefeller, was
under Indictment as criminal and
was believed to be in league with
gang of horse thieves IN western New
York. He owned a costly rife and
was famous as shot He was dare
devil with horses. He had no trade
spurned the farm. Indeed, he had al
the vices save one-he never drank.
1t was not long after he came to Rich
ford that he began to go off on long
trips-peddling trips some said. Later
hebecame known as quack doctor,
and his absences were supposed to be
spent selling a medicine he concocted
himself. The reputation he had built
up in Richford as sporting man"
was duplicated in Moravia. He is still
classed popularity in Moravia as one
of the gang who operated the under
ground horse railroad" and ran off
horses from various parts of the cOun-
try. There is absolutely no proof of
this but the conviction and sentence
to states prison in 1850, of three of his
closest pals for horse-stealing.
After Admiral Togo's great victory
over Rojestvensky's squadron, an art

battleship Mikasa. He found the IA

John F. Stevens of Chicago, who
has been chosen chief engineer of
the Panama canal, is large and mas
sively built, but with no surfiuous
weight. He would be called at first
sight a perfect specimen of physical
manhood. Mr. Stevens has been in
the railway business-most of the
time as an expert engineer-for thirty
years. He was born in West Gardi-
ner, Me-, in 1858. When he was 81
he was assistant engineer of Mime
apolis, a position he held until two
years later, when he became an engi-
neer and superintendent of surveys
for the Sabine Pass and Northwestern.
In 1879 he was made assistant engi-l
neer of the Denver and Rio Grande
road, but went to the Chicago, Mil
waukee and ST. Paul as principal as
sistant engineer in 1880, holding this
position for two years. He left the
Milwaukee road to accept a similar
position with the Canadian Pacific rail
way and was engaged in the construc-
ton of the road through the Rocky
mountains and the Selkirk range. This
is the toughest range that the road
crosses and was difficult engineering
feat. From 1886 to 81 Mr.. Stevens
was assistant chief engineer Of the
Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic from
Sault Ste. Marie to Duluth. In 1889
he entered the employ of the Great
Northern and was sent to lay out the
western extension OF the road to the
coast. With two Indian guides and
pack mule he started out from AS
sinaboine. The Indians deserted him
and the mule died. He persevered in
the task and completed it, locating
the line as it now runs. Stevens pass
