THE BRAVE OLD WAY.

I say risk all for one warm kiss;
I say 'twere better to risk the fall,
Like Romeo, to venture all,
And boldly climb to deadly bliss.
/ like that savage, Sabine way;
What mighty minstre1s came of it!
Their songs are ringing to this day,
The bravest ever sung or writ.
Their loves, the love of Juliet,
Of Portia, Pesdemona, yea,
The old true loves are living yet;
And we, we love, we weep, we sigh
Ii love with loves that will not die.
Then take her, lover, sword in hand
Hot-blooded, and red-handed; clasp
Her sudden, stormy, tall, and grand
And lift her in your iron grasp,
And kiss her, kiss her till she cries
From keen, sweet, happy, killing pain
Aye, kiss her till she seeming dies;
Aye, kiss her till she dies, and then,
Why, kiss her back to life again!

GERMANY'S SHIPPING.
Highest Class of Vessels Comes From
Foreign Yards.

Germany still finds it more conven-
lent to buy considerable proportion
of her highest class steamships from
foreign yards. says American Syren
and Shipping. And she is not only in
creasing the wages of her crews from
20 to 80 per cent during the past
decade. While building new steamers
in foreign yards to be placed under
her flag forthwith, Germany is also
buying old foreign tonnage, deemed
out of date by the former owner, and
somehow making these second hand
ships pay their way.
In 1903 the dividends paid by the
four principal Hamburg steamship
lines varied from 6 to 8 per cent.
What they will be after the losses OF
the rate war have been fixed up is
perhaps wisely hidden from the share
holders in the womb of the future.
Forward, and ever forward" is the
motto of the Kaiser, and he is pre-
pared to go far.
1t is one thing to compete against
dozen of other firms all under a
foreign flag, each of which is eager
to come out on top, but it is quite
another thing to compete against is
German mercantile marine, which is
regarded by both Kaiser and people
as national venture and treated &C
cordingly. Who does not remember
the Kaiser's stirring speech to his sub
jects that the future of Germany IS
upon the ocean?
Brain tells in Germany, because it
is not, confined solely to the genius
class, of whom every nation possesses
some and no nation more than Ameri-
ca, but is found throughout the lengt4
and breadth of the land, owing to the
educational training being of such a
nature as to inSlre due mixture OF
theory and practice. At times, how
ever, the men of light and leading in
Germany seem to be carried away by
the success of their undertakings, and
act as automatically as though Ger
many were without powerful rivals on
both sides of the Atlantic.
This over confidence costs Germany
dear, and may prove her undoing. Any
way, barring Bismarckian bluffness,
Germany is potent object lesson as
to the freedom permitted to her cap
italists in building up mercantile
marine, and the great impetus given
thereto by her statesmen and Kaiser.

In new kits and plaid and playing
pibroch of triumph on his pipes,
John Farquharson Macrae, formerly
of Scotland, but now of TERRA del
Fuego, strobe the gangway OF, the Or
uba at Liverpool yesterday, bound
once more for South America. During
twenty-five years, spent for the most
part among the hostile natives of the
Lands End of the Western CONT
nent, John Farquharson Macrae chung
to his pipes as he chung to his Scot
fish accent. When he had no human
companion tos converse with, his pib-
roch resounded over the waters ofsthe
Magellan Strait.
AS youth he left his native heath
for Argentina and reared cattle. Aft
er few years he found himself in
possession of over 500 horses and a
couple of thousand sheep.
These animals he trekked over two
thousand miles, with the aid Of
compass and chart, to southern Pata-
gonia. He watered and fed his fiOcks
and herds by the way with only five
men to assist him, but at the end of
year Of hunger and thirst and IA
tigue he found himself in possession
of fine stretch of country over 3d.
600 acres in extent.
After leasing this land for ten
years, he sought fresh territory and
trekked over into Terra del Fuego.
He was the first BritOn to penetrate
into the country, and the natives re-
scented the intrusion. The tall Aonas
and the stunted Yaghans came in
hordes, attacked his little castle, and
lay in wait for him with arrows.
An intrepid rider and an unerring
shot, however, he would ride away
concealed by the horses body and
shooting with deadly effect. For sew
eral years he carried his life in his
hands, but at last the savages began
to regard him with such respect and
fear that they christened him "Sorto,"
the native equivalent for "the devil"

Girl Who Couldn't Become Fisher
man in All Things.
AT one of. the Long Island resorts
there is an old man who is something
of a character. He spends large
portion of his time fishing from the
dock, and it is noticed by everyone
that he hardly ever fails to catch some
thing, even though everyone else in
the vicinity is having bad luck. Re-
Gently young woman approached this
man and said in coaxing way:
''Mr. f., won't you show me how
you bait your hooks, so | can do mine
that way, and then perhaps / can catch
something's"
The old man paused in his fishing
long enough to explain exactly how he
placed the bait on the hook. The
girl went away and fished and fished
and fiShed, occasionally rebaiting her
hooks in the manner shown. But she
didn't catch anything. So again she
went to the old man.
"Oh, Mr.. F." she said, there must
be some other reason why the fish
won't bite on my bait. l wish you'd
tell me what it is"
The old man looked up.
Maybe he said, in a drawing
tone, you didn't spit on your bait"
The girl looked little bit disguised.
''Is that what you dO?" she asked.
Sure" answered the old fisherman.
The girl went away and the old man
had ten minutes peace. Then she came
back again.
"NOw, Mr. F." she demonstrated,
''do tell me why l don't catch any
fish. I've baited my hooks just the
way you bait yours. | even spat on
my bait, and I've fished faithfully, just
the way you do And haven't caught
anything Will you tell me just how
it is 1 don't?'
The old man looked at her reflect
lively.
II don't know, miss, I'm sure,' he
observed, after considering the ques.
ton for few minutes. IF you bait
your hooks just so, and il you spit on
your bait, l don't know why you don't
catch fish. lessen it's cause you don't

WORTH HER WEIGHT IN GOLD.
Value OF Young Woman of LOG Pounds
Would Be $2S,647.

Inc weight Of money is very de-
ceptlve,'' says an employe of the sub
treasury to writer in the New York
Mail and Express. For instance,
young man came in here one day with
young woman. l was showing them
through the department, and happened
to ask him jokingly if he thought the
girl was worth her weight in gold.
He assured me that he certainly did
think so, and after learning that her
weight was LOG pounds we figured that
she would be worth in gold coin $685.
647. The young man was fond enough
of her to think that was rather cheap.
Another thing that deceives many
people" he continued, sis the weight
OF paper money. Now, how many 81
bills do you think it would take to
weigh as much as a S. gold piece?"
On a guess the writer said fifty, and
the clerk laughed.
Il have heard guesses on that" he
said, "all the way from fifty to $40,
and from men who have handled
money for years. The fact of the mat
ter is that with S. gold piece on
one scale you would have to put only
six and one-half bills in the other to
balance it,
The question afterward was put to
several friends of the writer and
ELECTED answers ranging all the way
from twenty to 1000, the majority
guessing from 200 to 500.
Taking the weights of gold coins
and bills given at the subtreasury, it
was figured that So gold piece weighs
.296 of an ounce of avoirdupois. The
employe of the treasury who handled
the paper money said that 100 bills
weigh four and a half ounces. That
would make one bill weigh .045 Of an
ounce, and between six and seven bills
would balance the gold piece.
On the proposition Of how much
money one can lift, figures were OBJ
tanned at the subtreasury, where GER
tain numbers of coins were placed
in bags and weighed as standards.
For example, the standard amount for
gold coin is $4,000, which weighs
eighteen and half pounds. Five hun
dred silver dollars weigh thirty five
and a half pounds, while 5000 in
halves, or 400 coins. weigh eleven
pounds.
Two hundred pounds Of coin money
of various kinds is made up as fol-
lows: Silver dollars, $2,617; half dol
lars, $1,000; quarter dollars, $3.657;
dimes, $3,615S0; nickels, $917; pennies,
$295.61.
In 81 bills the same weight would
amount to $71,111.

Same Old Stories.

When Adam courted Eve, they say
With certain jests they whiled the
hours
OF bissful Incidence away
Amid the zephyrs and the flowers.
And Noah would those stories tell
Unto his sons when it grew dark,
The gloomy tedium to dispel
Which sometimes settled DER the ark.
And round full many a campfire bright
Those yarns have sent a merry thrill;
They were recited with delight
At Troy and likewise Bunker Hill.
And now the Congressman comes out
And cons them Ger with guileless giee,
And scatters them around about
And all is blithe as blithe can be.

illness of a few days George Bout
we'll, former governor of Massachusetts
and former secretary of the United
States treasury, is dead at his home
here, aged 81 years. He was stricken
with pneumonia last Friday, and owing
to his extreme age he was unable to

For more than go years Mr.. Bout
well has been in public life, beginning
his career as lecturer at the age of

litionist. He served in the national
house of representatives, from 1862 to
1868, inclusive, and was member OF
the commission which named reported

debate in the house. He was secretary
of the treasury in President. Grants
first cabinet.
In 1878 Mr.. Boutwell, was elected to
the United States senate, where he
served for six years.

left the republican party and with the
formation of the antiimperalist league
became its president, which office h'
held at the time of his death.

THE PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Fighting on a Large Scale Is Going
On.

Last week witnessed a renewal of
important fighting in Manchuria, al
though reports do not contain sufi-
cient details to determine whether 1t
developed into great battle. For
the last few weeks activity has been
on the Russian right, but recently the
scene of the most important fighting
has been transferred to the Russian
left. 1t opened on Thursday and seems
to have continued with slight inter-
ruptions up to the present time. There
has also been bombardments along the
greater part of the line, siege guns at
the Japanese center doing the most
execution. There have been the usual
forward and backward movements by
both armies, but none of them seem to
have resulted in the seizure of any i'm
portant positions.
Early in the week rumors came
from nearly all of the European CAPT
tails that there had been serious dis
cussion of peace at st. Petersburg and
the news was received with approval.
