They refused and l clapped most Of
them in irons and put them in the orlS

full rations every six days. That's the
reason my crew mutinied and wanted

of the bark Haddon Hall yesterday at
the Hollenbeck hotel.
"They signed the articles for a three
years cruise and they have only served

"I had him put in irons for the theft,
but he wanted satisfaction and de-

consul asked me what should be done
with him and l told the consul to shut
him up in the Jail until we got ready
to sail.
I'VE were in Delagoa bay for seven
weeks doing a trading business with the
blacks. We gave them beads and
whisky in return for ivory and cocoa

that time and when we were ready to
start he was brought back on board the
vessel and placed in irons again.
HE was kept in irons until we got 70

Letter From the Fx-Governor Of

The ex-governor of Oregon is an ar
dent admirer of Peruna. lie keeps 1t
continually in the house. A letter re-
ceived from him reads as follows:

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus,
o.:
Dear Sirs--I have had occasiopn to
use your Peruna medicine in my fam
lily for colds, and it proved to be an
excellent remedy. ! have not had oe-
casion to use it for other ailments.
Yours very truly, w. M. LORD.
1t will be noticed that the governor
says he has not had occasion to use
Peruna for other ailments. The rea-
son for this Is, most other ailments be-
gin with cold. Using Peruna to
promptly relieve colds, he protects his
family against other ailments.
This is what every other family in
the United States should do. Keep
Peruna in the house. Every family
should be provided with a copy of Dr.

Guide FOret0Id Result of Days Fish
ing by Looking Into Tank.

Speaking Of big fish and good fishermen" re
marked the commercial traveller, reminds
OF the time was UP in the Adirondacks trying
10 sell some goods at a backwoods settlement
called Northwood. I was staying at a little
hotel run by an old Bsbee guide named VIII
Light As it happened, he had party of fish
ernen there from New York After breakfast
we were out on the front porch and the fisher
men were discussing whether they would go
fishing that day or loaf around and enjoy them
selves at something else. Finally one Of the
group spoke up to the old guide and asked:
Well, Bill do you suppose wed catch any
If we did goT
"Win Light has a watering tank 40 feet in
circumference in front Of his house, and in #
he has a number of ordinary looking brook
trout. When asked the question he didn't make
any reply. but walked out to the tank, cooked
his head to one side, shut one eye, and stood
there and looked down into the water: then he
walked half around the tank. cooked his heal
on the other side and looked into the water
with the other eye. The boys began TO laugh
at the curious performance, and one Of them
wanted to know what he was up to. Bill looked
up serious like. and replied:
Well, boys, there amt much use you're
goin' hshin' to-day. 7 can tell by observin
them trout that you wouldn't catch none
''Thereupon there was a howl of laughter from
the veranda, while Bill grinned in knowing
way and kept still.
We viii go anyway said one Of the fellows
And they did go, and, it happened they
returned that afternoon with empty fish bas
kets But it was pretty uncomfortable all that
day for the old guide for they joshed' him
pretty much about telling whether the fish We're
going to bite by 'observin' them trout in the
tank Anyhow, the next morning when we were
again congregated on the front veranda, one of
the fishermen, with wink at the rest Of US.
asked Bill to go out and take a squint at the fish
Everybody smiled, but Bill went, and when he
again cooked his head to side and stood
there looking down with one eye at the trout
the bursts of laughter would have made any

THE E4SY PCBLIC.

Thomas W. Lawson was talking about sharp
practice.
Sharp practice is the rule" ne said. but Is
not the public in a way to blame? Why should
the public be so willing to be deluded? What
is the matter with the public any way7 Upon
my word, I have seen men and women hug and
nurse worthless stocks as Washington White
nursed his watch.
Washington White? oh. he is Boston cob
ored man.
One day q friend met him underground
train The friend sat down beside him Wash
ington was rocking himself to and fro IN
curious way-something like a man with the
collie.
How do, Washington said the friend
How do, Calhoun said Washington, and he
still rocked to and fro.
THE friend regarded him curiously.
You hain't sick, Washington, be your ne
asked
No, indeed, Calhoun was the reply.
Then why in the name o. common sense
nah friend, am you rOckin yo'self to and fro
thls-a-way all the time?
Washington White made pause IN his
regular oscillation he said:

but stolid old guide feel like the proverbial
30 cents. But BIZ looked up and said seriously:
Gentlemen. you catch a good mess OF
trout to-day.
''The fishermen came back that evening WITH
a bully good mess of the spcckled beauties Yet
thinking it was mere chance that the guide
had foretold the catch and that he was trying
TO bamboozle them to his powers they stin
bantered him. Bill didn't say word and rne
third morning, to the delight of all he went
through the same ridiculous operations at the
tank:
Well, what's doing today asked one. and
In the same solemn way as before he replied:
F" You won't catch a great many but what
you do catch viii be whoppers.'
THAT night the boys came back with Some
Of the incest sized trout you ever laid eyes on,
and there wasn't a small one among them Some
were big as handsaws,' and the boys were so
well pleased that they went to New York with
them the next day to show them to the folks

THE TICKLE SAILOR.

Mayor Weaver of the awakened city OF Phila-
delphia was talking to a reporter about a very
astute and willy politician.
1T is difficult" said the Mayor ito get this
man to do anything he doesn't want to do. Cor
nered, he advances argument after argument
against the course you desire him to pursue he
begins with weak arguments You think you've
got him. But Just as victory appears assured
he puts forth final argument that is tnsuper-
able-a final argument that floors you thor
ouGhly.
The fellow IS like the fcllle sailor OF the old
romance. This sailor was strong, handsome
and gay. The girls liked him and he liked the
girls. The following conversation one moon
light night in the tropics passed between him
and young woman:
Then, Jack, when shall we be marriedr
" But I promised my wife, sweetheart that
I would never marry q second time

In hand with financial bankruptcy. If
a disciple of Jesus Christ is to be strict
" honest they think he must dress in
rags and have no roof which he can
claim as his own. Yet the direct oppo-
site of this supposition is true. God
has promised that those who seek first
the kingdom Of heaven shall not lack
any good thing.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday,
today and forever. How did God deal
with his disciples of old? Does Abra-
ham come before us dressed in rags?
Was Joseph a bankrupt? Did Job have
TO beg his bread after he had remained
true to God and forgiven his three mis-.
cradle friends? Did Joseph always re-
main a hirelng, slave and an out
cast? Was Daniel always a despicable
youth? Was David perpetual refugee
in King Achish's court? Did Mordecai
always have to bend the knee to the
wicked Haman? Were only the bad
men of the Bible garmented in silks
and the good men clothed in rags?
Nay. King Solomon once wrote, ''Seest
thou a man diligent in his business, he
shall stand before kings, he shall not
stand before obscure men," That state
ment applies just as much to Gods dis
ciples as to any one else. If a man is
true follower of God, as was Joseph.
and, like him, faithful and diligent, he
will not be kept from success by his
religion. There are cases in which
God, caring for the best interests Of
his child, sends adversely upon him, as
he permitted it to fall upon Job, that
his faith may be increased; but, taken
as a rule we may rely upon it that the
godly business man enjoys the blessing
of God on his enterprises.

God Of Joseph be your God in that aw-

God of Joseph be your God in that aw-
ful day?
Even the very best Of men have
these awful temptations thrust upon
them. Mr.. Mckinley in an address
before a graduating class said that a
short time after his, election to congress
quite number of young men wished
to be appointed TO West Point from
his district. He had almost decided
to send one young man there and had
told him so. Much to his surprise the
next day this young man sent him
sletter inclosing ten S100 bills. Mr..
Mckinley was then comparatively
poor man. At once he sent for this
young man. why did you give me
S1,0OO?" he asked. Because" said the
young man, 4 thought if might offer
you that you would be more willing to
nominate me-" At once Mr.. Mckinley
gave the young man back his money.
lie said: Under no conditions will
now nominate you. If you are untrue
to your government now you will be
untrue to your government when you
wear the United States uniform" That
was noble That was brave and true.
But if you had been a poor congress
man would you have returned that
money? Perhaps not, unless like Jo-
seph or like Major Mckinley, in your
public as well as private life you were
and are sustained by the saving grace
Of God
Thus. my friends, feel that ! am
speaking to some Joseph now in Poti
phar's house. know not what may
be the temptation which is imminent
1t is black for you. awfully black. But
be of good courage Remember, the
God of Joseph will be your God You
may seem TO be defeated and destroy

Though for a little while from Poti
