mo! Well, let's liquidate now. The
Lee was good boat-a bully good
boat Here's to her memory. And
here's to the Natchez-the peer of 'em
allp'
The race between the Lee and the
Natchez from New Orleans to st. Louis
created the most intense excitement in
the Mississippi Valley. Bonfires blazed
from the river banks by night and can
non thundered by day along the entire
course.
The boats were apparently well
matched and the rivalry had been
keen for long time. At last it hap
pened both were scheduled to leave
New Orleans at the same time and
their captains agreed on a race to St.
Louis.
The following paragraph is from
Mark Twain's Life on the Mississip-
pi:"
The steamer left the wharf of the
southern city at 4:55 p. m. June 30,
1870. The Lee arrived in st. Louis at
11:25 a. m, July 4, three days. eighteen
hours and fourteen minutes out of New
Orleans, six hours and thlrty-six min
utes ahead Of the Natchez The officers
of the Natchez claimed seven hours
and one minute stoppage on account Of
fog and for repairing machinery. The
Lee was commanded by Captain John
w. Cananon and the Natchez was in
charge of that veteran southern boat
man, Captain Thomas P. Leathers.
It's a little singular that the result
of the race never changed the minds
Of the Natchez's friends as to her capa-
bilities. They sturdily insisted that
she could beat the Lee in a walk if
she had "a fair show"
Captains Cannon and Leathers and
Pilot Enoch King are dead. Jamison,
Kings comrade in the Lees wheel
house from Cairo to st. Louis, lives ut
1850 Easton avenue, this city. Both
Jamison and Richey run the river
when Mark Twain was pilot and au-
thor, with whom they were we'll ac-
quainted.-St. Louis correspondence

ST Louis we could look down the bend
and see the Natchez' smoke filling the
air like the battle of Waterloo. The
river then between Cairo and st. L.
comprised about 200 miles Of the
toughest plotting you ever saw around
these parts anywhere. There wasn't
light house from end to end of the
run and there were snags, bars and
Operhanging trees enough to discour-
age a pilgrim ghost. Jim Pell and
West Conners, who had steered all the
way out of New Orleans, were as
tickled as schoolboys to see us. You
see they had only studied the river to
Louisville and were sent down by rail
to take the racer into the terminal.
Captain William Holiday Of Cairo
had telegraph orders from Memphis to
meet the Lee at Birds point at the
mouth of the Ohio, with couple Of
barges Of coal. A tug was attached
to each barge and the fuel supply was
unloaded on each side Of the big steam
er on the fly. The Louisville passen-
gers had to walk the gangplank on to
the jumpin coal flats. 1t was bit in
terestin' for the ladies, who regarded
1t as very ungallant, but the Lee didn't
have time to be polite that day.
II never saw two barges emptied
quicker. The coal beavers swarmed
over them like ants and the coal melt
and baggage were being rushed across
the planks
THAT was on the morning of the Sd.

Enoch and l never saw a bed until
noon the next day. The fog shook
hands with us at Devils Island. We
supposed as matter of course the
Natchez would tackle it, and we never
thought Of doing anything else. At
that stage Of the game a blowup
wouldn't have been worse than to have
trailed in behind.
'"The uncertainty of that night turn
ed my hair gray. We hadn't a ghost
of an idea where the other boat was
and dreaded every moment that we'd
hear her plowing through the gloom
ahead of u.s."
That's what you'd "a heard if ].
Bennett had been there" said Richey,
as he looked out the side window to
see how close they were getting to the
st. Clair wharf. He'd a made you
ducks look like roustabounts on sand
fat. Jack was an engineer, a born en-
gineer, but he was the crossest man |
ever saw. When he got in dead earn
est his room was hot enough to run the
engines without the boilers"
ANDY Pauly, wasn't slow" insisted
the other steersman, "but he was safe.
Still, we thought he'd run that fog and
we kept a-goin' upstream, cuttin' the
current in long, oblique slices same's If
the devil was chasin us. We were
| drawing six feet and kept the leads
men on the for'cas'le all through the
night. When the fog lifted toward
mornin' and there wasn't any Natchez
in sight we began to breathe. The old
boat was keepin' up her gait beauti-
fully and we knew nothing that wades
could beat us into st. Louie"
"The Natchez was the best boat"
said Richey, as he closed down the
steam in obedience to the excitement
Of the bells.
"Why didn't she beat them"
81 told you why"
"Humph! Guess you think the en-
gineer's the whole thing"
"He Is in boat race"
Much racing he could do if we
didn't hunt easy water for him. About
fifteen miles below town we sighted n
fleet of steamers and tugs that had
come down to meet us. There was the
Harry Johnson, the Eagles and every
crack boat that happened to be at the
st. Louie wharf at the time. Before
we got back up the river with every
we got to them they turned around and
headed back up the river with every
ounce Of steam they could carry. We
beat 'em to town-everyone Of 'em-
30 far we lost sight of 'em."

venated. Within a stones throw Of
this place he was born. 1t is an at
mosphere of beauty, but it is also an
atmosphere of work, and it is from
this that he drew that "joy of the
working which keeps him so steadily
employed and which causes him to be
regarded as a marvel among public
men. The surroundings of youth
were calculated to make him a lover
of nature, but his bent was for mathe-
matics and devotion to the exact sci
ences, though heredity should have re-
lieved this by an affection for out
doors. The splendor Of the Oneida
hills and the Oriskany valley was not
wholly lost upon him, however, even
amid the busy scenes of metropolis
throbbing with varied activities and
the charm of capital where intellect
is supreme, and thus it was that in the
years of his greatest achievements he
returned to Clinton and purchased an
estate which adjoins the old home
stead. Here he has a fine farm and
here, with his family, he spends as
much time as he can spare from his
official and professional duties.

SECRETARY ROOTS HOME.
Attractive Mansion in the Quiet,
Cultured Village of Clinton.

The visitor to Clinton, N. Y, who
climbs the hill which leads to the far
famed Hamilton College, passes many
delightful homes. There are no great
mansions, no pretentious edifices
which bespeak large wealth. but the
residences are attractive in their arch
itecture, some Of them are spacious
and all have the outward appearance
Of unusual comfort and culture with
in. Half hidden among trees and sur
rounded by closely trimmed lawns,
they suggest themselves as retreats Of
poets and lovers of nature. Any one
of a dozen of them would excite envy
in one accustomed to good things
These are the homes, for the most
part, of tutors in the college further
up the hill.
1t is amid such environment that
the home Of Elihu Root, Secretary Of
State, Is to be found. Hither he comes
when the strain of great burdens de-
mands a bit Of relief and here, amid
the scenes of his boyhood, he is reju-

Fish that Change Color.

Among the curious observations
made by students at the Bermuda Bio
logical Station is that some of the in
habitants of the water there are able
to initiate the color of the rocks and
reefs among which they swim. The
common fish called the grouper pos
sess this power. Its chromatic varia-
bility runs through a considerable
range Of colors. A specimen of the

from the hand of an irquisitive nat
uralst, escaped pursuit by its ability
to initiate the exact shade of any

with the Natchez, July 3-4, 1870. He
Is sturldly built, alert, eagle-eyed-a
typical riverman of the old days. His
initial appearance in a wheelhouse was
made on the Sallie West in 1915. He
quit the river eight years ago because
of an injury received on land.
Richey Is stall, ,smooth-shaven man,
whose 6S years hang lightly on his
stalwart frame. He has absorbed
health from the American Nile, by way
of the marine engine room, for fifty
three years. Every old engineer, pilot
and captain on the lower Mississippi Is
a thumb-marked book to these gray
veterans.
There was q clash of small bells in
the center of the room and Richey
jumped to the polished wheel that
sends the steam into the Florence's
cylinders. The big wheel astern began
making cataracts and snow showers
as the ferry's nose bumped against the
current.
"If the Natchez people had put John
Bennett in the engine room," said
Richey, after he had things going right
to make the crossing, you folks
couldn't kept in sight of the Natchcz'
stern lights. Bennett could have got
more out of her engines than the build
