After the installation of officers a So

least conspicuous of the provisions being
the abundance of fruit furnished us by
the kindly courtesy of Phil Sheridan

merriment abounded far into the night.
Many thanks were extended to the
Barre lodge, and to both the sisters and
the brothers Of our own lodges who as
sisted in making the evening a success.

A SWIM FOR LIFE.


When the British steamship Shi-
mosa arrived at New York from Sing
apore last summer she brought story
of most extraordinary human endur-
ance. The tale is told by the cap
tain in the columns of the Brooklyn
Eagle. The ship, at the time of the
occurrence, was three hundred miles
from Perrin, and we'll into the Red
Sea.
One day, while on the bridge, the
chief officer heard a whistle No vessel
was in sight, but still the faint whistle
continued. Suddenly he deserted q
man swimming not far from the ship.
A life buoy was thrown out, and the
swimmer brought on board The man
was so exhausted when he reached
deck that he entirely collapsed, and
it was some time before he could tell
his story.
When the rescued man had recov-
cred he told his adventures He was
a lascar, and had fallen overheard
from steamer bound for Suez. He
insisted he had been three days in the
water, but that is improbable There
is no doubt, however, that thirty-six
hours had passed between the time
Of his falling overheard and his rescue.
When the Shimosa reached Suez she
found the steamer from which the
lascar had fallen, and, according to the
1a111 of Of fhn
sailor battled with the waters for a
full day and half.
The most extraordinary part of the
affair is how the man could have
existed in the intense heat Of that eli
mate. His lips and mouth We're
skinned and bleeding, but he seemed
as well as could be when he was land
ed at Suez, four days after his rescue
The water of the Red Sea is some
what denser than that of the ocean,
and therefore more buoyant. The heat
Is terrific. The mean surface tempera-
ture is from eighty-four to one hun
dred degrees. How any one could keep
af1Oat under such a broiling sun is a
mystery.
The story helps to discredit the
stories Of the continual attendance Of
sharks upon vessels, and Of their dis
position to attack man. They are gen.
orally supposed to be larger and bolder
in tropical waters, yet this man had
been for thirty-six hours in the sea
and was not touched. Some years ago
a well-known shipping agent offered
five thousand dollars lor a well-au-
thenticated story Of a man having ever
been devoured by shark, but no one
claimed the prize. 1t is evident at
sharks" round where the lascar was
picked up by the Shimosa.

VERDICT AGAINST GOLIATH.


A case came before the Children's
Court recently, says writer in the
New York Times, which might have
we'll been styled Goliath versus David.
1t was brought by the parents Of a
big, hulking East Side bully against
a small boy, who, they said, had beat
Ell him Shamefully.
The bully was 10 years old, and for
years had been pest in the vicinity
Of his home. He bullied and torment
ed the small boys till they ran at the
sight of him. At last he was set upon
and thoroughly trounced, and his en-
ragged parents hailed into court the
small boy who, they said, was the
offender. He was accused Of assault
and battery.
The lawyer for the defense was a
quiet, confident young chap, who al
lowed the bully to tell his story and
leave the stand without being cross
examined. Other witnesses for the
plaintiff also went unquestioned. When
the bully's lawyer rested his case moth
ing had been done for the defense.
The small boys chances appeared
poor But his lawyer had his plans
we'll laid.
your honor" he said, II shall call
but two witnesses, and shall ask each
Of them two questions. | desire to
call both the plaintiff and the defend
ant"
The bully shuffied to the witness
chair and was sworn.
How old are you?" asked the law
yer.
Sixteen" lied the bully.
How much do you weigh?"
Zone hundred and seventy" That
appeared truthful, and the bully was
told to step aside and make room for
the defendant
How old are you?" asked the law
yer Of the small boy, in turn.
Thirteen" was the prompt reply.
"And how much do you weigh?"
Seventy pounds replied the
defendant.
Everyone in the court room had
caught the joke by this time, and those
not enlisted on the .bully's side
laughed.
"The case is dismissed" said the
Judge, and the decision rested with
David
