Il have seen a good many drowning
accidents" said an old sea captain
''and 1 have seen a good many queeI
rewards. Once a young man rescued
a young widows little son from the
sea. The widow, IN her gratitude
asked for the young mans photograph
He sent It to her, and two months later
he received a magnificent painting, by
Smith, that showed the scene Of the
rescue accurately, with the little boy
and him, both perfect likenesses, strug
Cling like mad in the water.
"a farmer, one Of the Pinkertons
told me, came from the west to meet q
gold brick man. AS the farmer an6
the swindler crossed on the ferry the
swlndler fell overheard, and the farmer
rescued him. He was so grateful that
he gave the farmer a brick Of solid
silver.
Il saved a pretty girl from drowning
In my youth" the captain ended. Ssh,
gave me a present that weighed 13C
pounds. She gave me herself, and Nv,
still got her. She may not be in a,
good condition now as she was then
but in my eyes somehow she is al
sweet and pretty as she ever was.p-

Government Ownership.

During the debate in the Senate on the
Dill for the settlement of the five civilized
tribes there was a general discussion of
government ownership of public utilities
Il have observed" remarked Senator New
lands of Nevada. "a good deal of adverse
sentiment regarding the government own
ing anything l call attention to the IN
constituencies of Congress In the matter of
legislation on this subject. The Secretary
of War recommended and Congress passed
a law acquiring coal lands In Batan. Phil
ippine Islands, because the government
could secure coal cheaper by acquiring and
leasing the coal lands.
There was" continued the Nevada SEN
ator. another stupendous government
ownership entered into with the almost
unanimous approval of both bodies. In the
first place we purchased canal, partially
constructed canal, owned by the French
Canal Company We paid $40 0G0 $50 for IT,
and we are now engaged in completing that
canal at a probable cost OF anywhere from
$500 coo, OtD 10 SON, 200. co.,
Senator Newlands went on to speak of the
acquisition Of the stock of the Panama
railroad in connection with the canal. The
Senate" he said. that is SO sensitive
about government ownership. passed q bill
providing for the condemnation of stock
held by private persons In the United States
in a New York corporation which owned
the Panama railroad and it was the unani-
nous opinion of the great lawyers OF the
Senate that that could be done"
Senator Newlands maintained that IL we
can acquire the coal lands In Batan, the
that there is no reason why could nor
build and operate an interstate railroad or
acquire coal lands IN this country. And
that seems to be sound reasoning.
