NORFOLK, VA, April 13.--With d
list that almost took her port rail to
the wnter. the British steamship
Ashanti camc stoaming into port thnt
her shifted cargo might be righted. The
vessel appeared to be on the verge or
cnpslzing, although those with prac-
tical knowledge OF ships, say that tho
vessel was In no danger on q smooth
sea.
u The Ashanti took on cargo at Mo-
bile Ala, and after oading, went
aground. After She had been floated
and got to sea, 1t was found that the
cargo was not right, and the vessel
soon took on the dangerous list. The
master OF the vessel headed for Nor
folk to straghten up his ship. The
vessel was fortunate in having good
weather. as to have been caught in a
storm ~ sea With the great list would
have meant almost certain destruction.
She came into port under her own
steam. It Is Improbable that the yes
sci could have crossed the ocean.
The ballast tanks OF the vessel are
also leaking.

Up-to-Date Auto Jarqon.

Intending purchasers of automobiles
are frequently more mystified than in
structed by the explanations of sales
men, but New York's automobile row
has one salesman who carefully
avoids technicalities. Said he to a
prospective customer:
You see. when the piston comes
up and congresses a lump of gas
spark jumps in and touches it off and
the engine gives a poke. which turns
the crankshaft arouId. Then the pis.
ton comes back and chases out the
burned gas and takes in a fresh
charge as it goes back; then it comes
up and the load gets spark and the
piston is blown back and the crank
shaft gets another poke just as be-
fore. Every time a spark is let in
the engine gets poke and gives it to
the crank-shaft, you see. It's perfeoS

What to Do When Husband SEEING to
Have Transferred Love.

There are two stock answers given
by wives when they are asked the
crucial question: What would you
do If your husband seemed inclined to
fall in love with another woman?"
One answer is: Il wouldn't do any
thing; I'd let him go" and the other:
I'D fiirt with some one myself Fur
Their than this the imagination does
not seem to go.
The first answer, translated, means:
IF my husband could fall so far from
my ideal of him he wouldn't be my
husband any more. l would feel only
indifference and contempt for him.
The other answer is of a different
caliber: IF he sees that he is in dan
ger of losing me he may regain his
interest in me. What another man
admires he may admire, too, and find
that he loves me best, after all. At
any rate, he viii find that he cannot
neglect me with impunity.'
Both answers are. of course, super
fetal and based on the feeling of the
moment-the feeling of getting
even" But the woman who is in
danger of losing her husbands affec-
tons win have many moments not to
be evolved into sentences so clear
cut and self-sufficient. If a woman
does not know that her affection is
killed for a man when she finds him
beginning to be attracted elsewhere.
then. indeed, the situation is simpli-
fed. If one no longer loves. every
thing is ended-the worst hurt is
over. But in real life the woman Who
