TELLING HIS FATHER.
Shippers Way of Breaking News
of Sons Death TO Him.

Shippers Way of Breaking News
of Sons Death to Him.
Breaking bad news is sad piece of
work at best, from which even the
bravest man shrinks. The truth cannot
always be softened; all that may be
possible is to lessen the suddenness of
the shock, as did the captain in ihe
pathetic incident related in the New
York Times. When a schooner from
Singapore warped into the pier the
other day, man hurried on board and
sought out the skipper with an expect
ant smile.
my names JONES'" he said.
where's that son of mine, Eddy, the
rascal"
The skipper looked straight at the
questioner, then rummaged IN the bills
of lading and knitted his brows.
Looking for Eddy, eh?" he said.
Jones explained it was all right about
Eddy; everything was forgiven. A boy
who had grit enough to ship before the
mast and go round the Horn, in spite
of his parents disapproval, might make
a good navigator.
Yes" said the captain, absently.
Lets see-JOnes? Eddy? Didn't-he
run away at Singapore?"
The fathers face fell.
mo, he wasn't the one" hastily con.
tinued the skipper. Lets go to the
Shipping and look at the articles.
He'd be on shore now, anyway"
On the way the father chatted about
boys and seas and ships. He told 1ow
Eddy had run away, and how they
learned he had gone on the schooner.
"Its Marryat and those writers that
set their heads going, he said, but we
forgave him, and the mother got his
room papered new and has a fine din
ner ready for her sailor boy"
Its tough life" said the captain
talking to the cobblestones. You never
know. Why, off the Horn last trip out
young fellow, not any older than your
boy, went by the board. A heavy sea,
and that was the end of him. We sent
his pay and things through the consul
late at Singapore to the sailors board.
ing house that the boy had given as his
address. But the name hadn't ever
been heard of there"
Poor young fellow!' said the ia.
ther. 81 ought to be thankful"
Here the captain suddenly stopped
and laid his huge hands on the fathers
shoulders. The two men faced each
other. The fathers mouth frightened.
The skipper looked off as far as he
could
WAS it?" whispered the father.
The skipper slowly lowered his head.

NOW PINEAPPLE CLOTH,

Manila Women and Girls weal
Gowns Made of the Leaves.
One day recently, while on a shop
ping tour, some beautiful silky-lookina
material was admired by one of the
shoppers, who was Informed by the sale:
woman that the material was Pima
CLOTH She had a beautiful gown
made of it, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord.
Upon investigation it was found that
pima cloth was made from the fibers
OF the leaves of the pineapple.
In Manila girls and women are ar
rayed In this material on special oc-
casions. and it is said that their wed.
ding gowns are often made Of it.
Many species of the pineapple leaves
yield fiber that can be spun like fax
when bleached. A very fine muslin can
be made of it and the very finest hand
kerchiefs. In some parts of Mexico.
China, and Africa the 3kers are used
for cloth, cordage, fishing nets and
ropes.
From experience it is known that the
juice of the pineapple is an excellent
remedy for sore throat, and it has
even been used in cases of diphtheria.
One way Of serving the fruit on the
table for dessert is to cut it up fine
with cold-slaw cutter and sugar it
freely. 1t is more appetizing than
when merely sliced as sometimes when
in slices 1t is very tough. Some fine
specimens Of pineapples have been
grown in horticultural hall and in the
botanical gardens Of the University of
Pennsylvania.
Pineapples are sent to us in large
quantities from the West Indies. In
former times, when transportation was
slower than it Is now, the fruit was
looked upon as great luxury. A great
many come from Florida. The plants
are raised there under sheds to guard
against frost They are also grown in
Hawaii and the Pacific islands. in In
dia. tropical Africa and large uuanti-
ties in Mexico.
There are many species of pineapples
which differ from one another in flavor
just as do various kinds Of apples or
other cultivated fruit.

A writer in Harper's Weekly quotes
an amusing story attributed to DR.. Rice
of Springfield, apropos of the recent
meeting of railroad men and their law
yers to find out what the new rate law
really means. DR.. Rice, it seems, used
to tell of young Methodist who went
forth from Wilbraham Academy to
preach his trial sermon.
What was your text?" he was asked
when he came back.
"How shall ye escape If ye neglect
so great salvation?"
"a good text-how did you handle
itw
First, 1 showed 'em how great this
salvation is, then l showed 'em how to
escape if they neglected It,"

Atwater, Oct. 8.-The stockho' ders
of the Limaville Oil Co. were notified
to be on hand Thursday at 8 O'Clock
at their new we'll on the Clay RockhilI
farm, two miles west of Limaville.
At the above hour the drillers struck
the Berea sand in which oil is found
if at all. Some SO or more interested
parties, ma es and females, were pres

For time excitement ran high as Oil
was found, but not in large quantities
Hopes were dampened when a strong
vein of salt water was reached, filling
the hole to a depth of 25O feet. The
sand was found at 535 feet, since
when another hundred has been drill
ed, but no paying developments have
been obtained.

FRUIT Anu PRODUCE
Ordinance Passed by the Board OF
Health Last Night and Will Soon
Become Law.

The ordinance governing the display
of fruit and produce upon the side
walks of the city of Canton was last
night given another impetus by the
board of health and will soon be a
city law to be honored and obeyed.
At meeting of the board of health
come time ago an ordinance ordering
that all produce should be displayed
on benches at least sixteen inches
above the ground was duly read and
passed and after its legal publication
was TO have become a law. The or
dinance did not become law howev-
;er, City Solicitor Day maintaining
gthatG it had notIlbeen legally passed.
AT the last meeting of the board all
action regarding the ordinance was
rescinded and the ordinance given its
first reading. At last nights meeting
the rules were legally suspended and
the ordinance given its second and
third reading and unanimously passed.
The ordinance will now become law
after it's legal publication in the local
newspapers.

trains going east, 8 going west. g.
