A Nelu Life-Sauing Boat

Gloucester. Mass. and arrived without
serious damage after an extremely
stormy passage.
The plucky captain undertook the
voyage both to demonstrate the useful.
ness of his boat and to win a prize
of 93S.O00.
The Uraad is only 1s feet long, with
an 8-foot beam. She is egg-shaped,
and It is owing to her peculiar form
that she is able to ride safely over big
Atlantic rollers that would swamp All
ordinary boat Of her size.
Capt. Brude is very proud of his lit
tie craft. and has great hopes that his
invention will prove Of inestimable
service to sailors. and minimize loss
OF life in cases Of wreck or collision.
He certainly has the courage Of his
convictions. 1t is no light undertake
ing to sail 5000 miles across the At
lantic in an 1s-foot sailing vessel.

 Before embarking into the livery business the Simmons had resided in the country a short ways from the vil- lage in which they now lived. and Ulys- ses had received what education he

 honest industrious. and having never travelled beyond the borders of his own

 one evening. late in the month of May. after Ulysses had bedded down the horses his father summoned him to the office and informed him that the time was near at hand when it would ] be necessary for him to take charge Of the establishment But before making ! the transfer it was the opinion of the father that il would be a great benefit

 At such times he used to mentally picture to himself the time when Ulys ses would follow in his footsteps as the manager of the establishment.
 Ulysses himself sometimes reflected that the time was not far distant when his father would bo compelled to retire from the active management of the es- tablishment and he looked forward with pleasant anticipation to the time when the name of Ulysses Simmons

Juan Martines. ;he Mexican who is alleged to have stolen a tent valued at s17.O0 from a freighter at the Mesa feed barn. was taken before Justice Babbitt yesterday morning and sen fenced to thirty days in the county jail The prisoner was taken over tU Phoenix yesterday by officer Burton.
 It appears from the evidence in the case that after surreptuously purloin- ing the tent. the Mexican proceeded to sell it on the installment plan. se- curing enough in all to fill his hide with juice of the forbidden fruit, and in this manner the officer was able to track and capture him without much difficulty.
 Jesse Earl purchased the tent and Dudley Jones invested in a few of the mans extra sides of bacon, whIcn had stuck to his fingers while he was taking an inventory of the freighters wagon.

 He wired the "old man" 10 mali him draft for hundred, but unfortunate ly for Ulysses, even the clements seem ed to have conspired against him.
 The rain fell in torrents, the rivers rose, the bridges were suddenly washed away. thereby cutting off all communi- cation with the outside world by rail. There had been no eastern mail for three days and there was no assurance that his remittance would ever arrive. He arose and nervously paced about the room, stopping occasionally to peer through the window at the moon. which was just peeping over the distant mountains. It was the same old moon that he used to gaze upon back in Illi- nois. It was like meeting an old friend and as he stood there at the little window. he let his fancy wander back to the old home.
 He mentally pictured his aged parent, sitting before the fireplace and he saw the bed on which he had spent so many happy hours in sweet repose.. There on the wall hung the large ciayon por- trait of Uncle Bill. and in the cellar were rows and rows of canned fruits and choice preserves.
 Housing from his reverie he looked at his quarter. hastily donned his hat and coat and started for a restaurant. While passing up Washington street he was attracted by the sound of voices in one of the establishments which were open at that late hour. Entering he discovered a small group of men surrounding a roulette wheel which was located in one corner of the room. He mingled with the crowd and was sOor absorbed in watching the maneuvers of certain gentleman who seemed to have more money than luck.
 While student at the Continental Business College of Illinois there were number of things which Ulysses had learned which were not included in the regular course of instruction of this celebrated educational institution. among other things being the gentle art of resting his elbows on the table of roulette wheel.
 Ulysses watched the game for some moments in silence. Finally he began 10 speculate upon the probability of his catching a live one. and began 70 see visions of porterhOuse steaks by merely fscaking the small investment of twen- ty-fiSge cents.
