SMOKED
A BALE OF
ALFALFA

Chagrined by the discovery tba,
they were smoking and chew,no
brand of tobacco that was made ~
largely OF alfalfa dozen fishermer
on one of the traps in the Sound ,
few days ago emptied their tobacc,
pouches into the gulf and decided =,
purchase their smoking materia, n,
the feed store and to buy II nv tbe
bale or else get different brand q,
tobacco.
That their tobacco" contained ca
per cent alfalfa was learned from
government report giving the resuI,
tof analysis made by government
chemists. The other ingredients Civ.
len in the report are tobacco, 27 per
cent; arsenic, s per cent; opium. 1
per cent, and fluid, per cent.
This was thought to be a fit COM
pound for the fishes, and the pouch
es were emptied. Several times ON
late trips to the traps the engineer
on the tugs has told the boys they
were ordering brand of Virginia
fine cut that was raised in the hay
fields of Eastern Washington. II was
reasonably good tobacco, anyway.
and no one thought more of the en-
gineer's supposed jest.
The arrival of the report from
which the engineer had gathered his
information presented a more SER
ious aspect, and now the product OF
the hay fields is floating out to the
ocean. The fishermen did not seem
to care about the arsenic and opium,
but were chagrlned to discover that
they had been deceived in happy pipe
dreams that we're caused chiefly by
burning cattle feed. Then the thought
of buying by the ounce a product
that could be purchased by the bale
was like adding the final proverblal
straw to the overburdened backs.
The engineer caused so much dis
turbance in that camp that he will
not attempt to enlighten any more OF
the trappers, as he said there was
enough lamentation in that one camp
to last until after a Fourth Of July
celebration.

THE MEETING OF THE WATERS.

There is not In the wide world a valley sweet
AS that vale in whose bloom the bright waters meet.
o. the last rays of feeling and life must depart
Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from heart
Yet it not that Nature had shed DER the scene
Her purest of crystal and brightest of green:
Twas not the soft magic Of streamlet or hill,
o, not something exquisite STILL
Twas that friends, the beloved of my bosom near
Who made every dear of enchantment dear,
And who felt how the best charms of Nature improve,
When them reflected from looks that love.
Sweet vale of Avoca haw calm should rest
In thy bosom of shade, with the friends love best,
Where the storms that feel in this cold world should
And our hearts like thy waters, be mingled in peace.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
The Old Liberty Bell.

Contrary TO general belief, the old
liberty bell is not the properly OF the
nation or Of the city Of Philadelphia,
hut of four sisters who are heirs OF
John Wflbank, the man who made the
new bell shortly after the old one was
cracked and who took the old bell AZ
mart nayment. According to the Home
Magazine. three OF the sisters-Mrs'
lanes B. McClosky, Mrs. G. ID. Emer'
son and Mrs. S. B. COward-live IL
Philadelphia. The fourth, Mrs. s. w.
B. DiehI, lives in Washington.
BY an order Of the assembly Of the
province Of Pennsylvania the Liberty
bell was cast by an English founder
In 1851. Soon after arriving In this
country the bell broke, but was recast
from the same metal in the same form
and with the original inscription, PRO
claim liberty throughout the land"
The ownership passed from provin-
cial authorities to the state, but In
1915 it was purchased by the city OF
Philadelphia, together with the old
statehoCse and grounds. During the
celebration over the arrival Of Lafa-
yette In 1924 the DELL was rung so Wig
orously 1t became cracked and a few
months later was ordered rep.aced By
a new bell cast by John Wilbank. The
latter bell is hanging in the steeple OF
Germantown hall.

Our Navy's Officers.

In the eyes Of foreigners there are
some startling defects in the personnel
of our navy. Perhaps the principal
one is the age Of the flag officers and
captains. Not a navy In the world
numbers so many men Of advanced
years In command. All our admirals
are between sixty and sixty-two. 1t is
probable th=t in the event Of war last
ing a year not one-half Of the officers
at present in command would possess
the physical vigor to remain on active
duty.
The extreme youth and lack Of expe-
rience Of the main part OF the crews
Of these ships is another weakness.
The percentage Of veterans In the COM
plement Of each vessel is small. Our
battleships are much underof1cered
with exper 'enced subordinate officers,
gun division officers particularly.
The men-of-war Of all other nations
carry many more officers than ours
and more experienced than the Ameri-
can youngsters now available for such
positions. This gap between our veter-
ans and youthful men and command
ers is due to the neglect Of congress,
which permitted I'VE years to elapSe
after the Spanish-American war be-
fore the number Of midshipmen was
increased at Annapolis. - Broadway

BUcKINe AN ICE FL0E.
An Incident In One Of Peary's Arctic
Exploration Trips.

An Incident In One Of Peary's Arctic
Exploration Trips.
One Of the most striking passages In
Robert z. Peary's Nearest the Pole
Is his description OF the action OF an
Zee doe which threatened his ship. He
writes: Its slow, resistless motion
was frightful, yet fascinating. Thou
sands OF tons Of smaller ice which the
big Zoe drove before 1t the Roosevelt
had easily and gracefully turned under
her sloplng bnges, but the edge Of the
big Zoe rose to the plank sheer, and
few yards back from its edge was an
old pressure ridge. which rose higher
than the bridge deck. This was the
crucial moment. For a minute or so,
which seemed an age, the pressure
was terrific. The Roosevelts ribs AMI
interior bracing cracked like the dis
charge OF musketry, the deck amid
ships bulged up several inches. while
the main rigging hung slack and the
masts and rigging shook as In a vio-
lent gale. Then, with a mighty tremor
and q sound which reminded me OF an
athlete intaking his breath for a su-
preme effort, the ship shook herself
free and jumped upward till her pro-
peller showed above water. The big
foe snapped against the edge Of the
ice foot forward and aft and under us.
crumplIng up its edge and driving it In
shore some yards, then came to rest,
and the commotion was transferred to
the outer edge Of the foe, which crum-
bled away with a dull roar as other
foes smashed against 1t and tore OF
great pieces In their onward rush,
leaving the Roosevelt stranded, but
safe"
On another occasion II required thir-
y-fve and a half hours Of incessant
strain and struggle to clear a way
through the obstructing ice foes to the
open water beyond. Mr.. Peary says:
The Roosevelt fought like a gladiator,
turning, twisting. straining with all
her force, smashing her full weight
against the heavy foes whenever we
could get room for a rush and rearing
upon them like a steeplechaser taking
q fence. All, the thrill and tension Of
It. the lust OF battle, which crowded
days Of ordinary life into oneI The for
ward rush, the gathering speed and
momentum, the crash, the upward
heave, the grating snarl OF the Ice as
the steel shod stem split It as a ma
sons hammer splits granite or trod It
under or sent 1t right and left In whirl-
ing fragments, followed by the violent
roll, the backward rebound and then
the gathering for another rush were
glorious"
At such times the physical tension
was intense: Every one on deck hung
with breathless interest on our move
ment, and as Bartlett and I chung In
the rigging heard him whisper
through teeth clinched from the purely
physical tension Of the throbbing ship
under US: Give 1t to 'em, Teddy; give
It to 'emr More than once did a fire
man come painting on deck for breath
Of air, look over the side, mutter to
himself, BY thunder, she's got to so
through then drop into the stokehold,
with the result a moment later Of an
extra belch Of black smoke from the
stack and an added turn or two to the
propeller"
