Bills Meanness.

II wouldn't have thought it of him, sir, -
said the cid sailor-"him that had sailed
shipmates with me for years. His name
it were Bill Withers. and we got away
from a wreck in the Indian ocean to-
gether in one of the quarterboats. There
came a day when the water and food
gave out and says to Bill. says I:
Bill, we can go about three days on
nothing, and then I shah have to eat you.
All right. old ship says he, and there
was nothing more to be said about it. Four
days passed, and then says to Bill:
sight =
:. Nary a SAIL says he. after looking
Then I've got to eat YOU
All right, old Ship but let me tell you
that I have Just taken big dose Of poi
son. and If you eat me you won't be long
friend
1T was SO. sir. and what does Bill do
but swell up and die and fall overheard.
and leave me to go on suffering for four
days more before a bark sighted and
picked me up. Would you have believed

portunity rather than a, yellow peril
confronts America he writes.
Every year the countries of the Pa
cific buy increasing quantities of up
to-date manufactures. Today this i'm
portation of finished products is no less
than twice as great as our total ex-
ports of factory wares to the whole
world.
ITO all the emerging republics, is
lands, and empires of the Pacific we
have been selling less than one-half of
/ per cent of our factory output. And
that pathetic proportion would be still
more infinitesimai but for orders that
have come to us unsolicited. Wherever
we have organized to get trade, we have
secured it; but aside from these few
brilliant successes there has been no
serious effort. to get Pacific commerce
or to hold it after it has come our way.
Even in the Philippines, whose tariffs
we control, we have been ingloriously
beaten
