The Parable of the Pirate Skip

The captain of a pirate crew on
a semi-barbaric coast, not acquaiut-

captured small merchant steameI i
and made the crew prisoners. The
pirate skipper, not understanding
the value of many things he found
on his prize, at once threw them
overheard, including the ships
compass, the transit, lifebuoys and
boats, and the precious coal supply,
as well as other ballast. Putting
on full canvas he tried to make
off with his capture.
The winds came and belabored
the ship. Throughout the fierce
night waves beat heavily upon the
ship and disabled her rudder; the
canvas blew into shreds before the
gale and at last the masts went
overheard. Then the pirate skip
per released the captain and be-
sought him to save the boat from
destruction.

He CURSED Hrs GALI-ANTRY.-A cor
pulent man with a red face went to
Coney Island on Sunday from the
Bath Beach section Of Brooklyn, says
the New York Sun, and sat in cross
seat Of an open car in front OF two
stout German women. In searching
for a nickel to pay his fare, the stout
man dropped a quarter, which rolled
almost under the dress Of one Of the
women. He realized that he might
make a spectacle of himself and also
might offend the woman II he attempt
ed to pick up the quarter, so he de-
cided to wait until she and her friend
got out, meanwhile taking an occa-
sionaI glance at the coin. The women
found themselves at their station un-
expectedly, and in their hurry to get
out one knocked her handkerchief,
which was weighted with something,

The owner kneeled and began collect

her to hurry. The man gave a sigh OF
relief after the woman got up without
having noticed his quarter. Just

A NAVAL REBUkE.
TWO Admirals, a Captain and a Foo
In Manila Bay,

When Dewey's fleet was at Manila
the late Admiral Chichester was then
captain. On one occasion Admiral
Diedrichs, the German, sent out the
Irene on an pnreyealed errand and
without the customary notification to
the commander Of the blockading
fleet Admiral Dewey had suffered,
he thought, sufficiently from that sort
Of thing, and so the admiral sent
a vessel across the Irene's bows and
notified her captain that she would
not be permitted to depart without
a statement as to her destination. II
was not Admiral Diedrichs mission
to quarrel with both the American
and English fleets on this critical oc-
casion, so he sought to find out Cap
tain Chichester's purpose in case of
a collision. Going on board Chi
chester's ship. he angrily exclaimed,
Did you see what Dewey did to my
Ship"
Yes" replied Chichester.
What would you have done IL 1t
had been an English ship?"
WELL" said Chichester, convenient
" assuming that the Irene's captain
had sailed without orders from Die

Told OF PROF. LoUNsBURY.-The re-
cent unofficial opinion of the United
States supreme court in the matter OF
simplified spelling lends especial point
to the following anecdote OF Prof.
Lounsbury, the noted grammarian or
Yale, who, as is well known, has dem
ocratic and liberal views on the sub
ject of the English language. Prof.
Lounsbury. according to Harpers
Weekly, opposes those who would sub
stitute for simple terms pedantic ones
those who would claim, for instance,
that the phrase Tomorrow Is Sun
.day" is incorrect, and would write in
stead: Tomorrow will be Sunday"
Prof. Lounsbury, discussing the
question Of simple English, said at
Yale one afternoon:
There was a little boy who began
70 keep a diary. His entry was Got
up this morning at Z o'clock He
showed the entry to his mother, and
she. hoFror-stricken, said:
Have you never been to school?
Got I'D, indeed! Such an expression!
Does the sun get up? No, it rises
And she scratched out Got up at
IL and wrote Rose at z in its place.
That night the boy, before retiring
ended the entry for the day with the
sentences, Set at 8 o'clock.

How THB JAPANESE FOOLED THE
FAKER,-The street faker who was
selling cement near the steps OF the
court house stood behind little table
on which was conspicuously displayed
the sign: "A box OF this cement given
free to anybody who can break any Of
these apart"
There were spools. blocks Of wood,
and other articles that had been ce-
mented together and most of them
bore marks of having been struggled
with by persons with grimy hands In
vain attempts to wrench them apart.
A swarthy little fellow who had stop
ped in front Of the faker's stand
pointed to round peg that appeared
to have been dipped in the cement and
driven into a good sized chunk of
wood. and asked him what would be
the reward for pulling it out.
IF you can pull that out" said the
pedler, "Ill give you a silver dollar
The peg projected little more than
quarter of an inch above the block.
The swarthy little fellow placed his
left hand on the block to hold 1t down,
took the peg between the thumb and
forefinger of his right hand, and pulled
1t out with apparent ease, a portion
Of the wood coming away with it,
Great Scott" gasped the man be-
hind the table. What are you?
Me Japanese dentist" replied the
little fellow, pocketing the silver dol
lar and walking away with a grin
on his face.-London Telegraph.

PAT PROVED IF.-In county Sligo,
Ireland. among the hills, there is a
small lake renowned in that region
for its fabulous depth. A professor
happened to be in that part OF Ireland
last summer and started out one day
for a ramble among the mountains
accompanied by a native guide.
AS they climbed Pat asked him If
ne would like to see this lake. FOR
it's no bottom at all, scrr."
but how do you know that. PatT
asked the professor.
'Well, sorr, I'll tell ye; me own
cousin was shown the pond to a
gentleman one day, sorr, who looked
incredulous like, just as you do, and
me cousin couldn't understand IL for
him to doubt his word, sorr, and 30
he said. 'Begorra, I'll prove the truth

amazed and quizzical expression.

didn't come up again, at all, at all"
But" said the professor, Il don't
see that your cousin proved his point
by recklessly drowning himself"
Sure, sorr, it wasn't drowned at
all he was. The next day comes

GEORGE WASHINGTON No SARoR.
A Baltimore school teacher, says the
American Boy, was telling one day of
how often the instructor Of "the young
idea" is astonished by the quickness of
wit exhibited by the pupil who is 9TH
erwise deficient.
One day, says this teacher. she had
encountered such a degree Of ignor-
ance and mental obtuseness on the
part of one of her boys that she be-
came disheartened. So it was with
considerable sarcasm that she said to
the youngster:
Il wonder If you could tell me
whether George Washington was a
soldier or a sailor"
The kid grinned. He was soldier,
all right" was his reply.
How do you know" asked the
weary teacher.
Because l seen a picture Of him
crossin' the Delaware" explained the
boy, ANY sailord know enough not
TO stand up in boat"

there was no evidence to identify the
man or determine the cause Of death
except as stated above. Some anx-
ious family may be awaiting his re-
turn home, II may be near, or 1t may
be far away; and they may never get
tidings Of his tragic death. The body
was buried on the railroad right or
way, near where 1t was found, but
this wrought upon the feelings Of the
people in the neighborhood, and chiefly
through the active efforts of Mr.. Mayo
McKeown, it was disinterred yes
