AS girl and woman Ida Lewis has
lived remarkable life. Her bravery
and skill in handling boat are well
known, and her fame is secure as the
greatest woman life saver in the
world, for she has the credit of hav.
ing saved no less than IS lives, most
of her rescues having been effected in
the face of extreme danger and in
winter.
Ida Lewis is known personally to
half the residents of Newport, and by
sight practically to all. In her cat
boat she comes daily to Newport for
her household supplies, accompanied
by big dog. and the weather must
be severe indeed to keep her away.

ed, in recognition of her bravery and
record as life-saver, on the death of
her father. Miss Lewis has shown her
self as careful and efficient as a man
6buld be. She is one of the few wo-
men in such position.
She cared for the light several
years before appointed keeper, when
her father, because of sickness, was
unable to perform his duties. At the
same time she helped keep house and
rowed her younger sisters to Newport

She was appointed keeper Of the
light in 1879 at salary of $3.50 a
year, and has performed her duties
without break ever since.

looking woman. and is as active as
she was 25 years ago.

voice low and her face white, "that all

CHAPTER XVIII.

The streets of New Orleans were
congested with the shouting, scream
ing multitudes-a sea of human faces,
flushed with excitement, or white with
fatigue, cosmopolitan gathering of
that many-sided nation-America-
which was constantly increasing by
the incoming trains from all points of
the compass. A rainbow of colors,
a babel of human sounds, a kaleido-
scopic whirl Of human forms blockad-
ing the streets, choking the passages,
ever moving back and forth, always
leaving, ever returning, while the gilt
tering pageant of what seemed end
less magnificence moved with a great
pomp and splendor through the turbu.

scene impressive, startling and mys-
terious, and recalling a vivid picture
of ancient splendor, when kings rode
in chariots and knights glittered in
fall armor
These scenes at another time would
have afforded an adventurous soul like
mine a rare chance for pleasure. At
another time l should have thrown
myself with gleeful abandon into the
midst of these moving thousands,
would have keenly enjoyed the prox.
unity, the thrill of becoming a part, of
that mass of human souls, but on this
day I saw all as dying man would

That's what he said" replied Mrs.

But when you have been married as

TO GET ALGER'S TOGA

Mr.. Smith built a logging railroad
from Rapid City to Kalkaska and
Stratford a distance of A miles, ten
years ago, to tap a tract of lumber on
the Upper Manistee river. which had
been left uncut because Of its dis
tance from the railroads. Later he
built line from Lowell to Hastings.
For this work he received 100000 in
stock which was considered worth
less. He held 1t until the Pere Mar
quette had use for the branch, then
sold it at par
Mr.. Smith was first elected to con-
gress in 1894. He was reelected in
1896, and with increased majorities
each two years since. until in 1904
his majority was nearly $4,000. In

Upton Wants Real Yachts.

Give US real yachts, not play
things" is about the substance of an
article on the great sea sport by Sir
Thomas Upton in Yachting" Under
the uniform rule adopted in 1905, 1t
was hoped that more wholesome
type of boat would appear" says Sir
Thomas. land the results OF last sea-
sons racing in the United States have
entirely justified the hope. 1t is what
has been needed both here and
abroad, a good, wholesome boat-a
boat that cannot only go fast, but can
give a good account of herself in win
ter weather; boat that can cross the
ocean with no fears that it will sue
cumb to wind and waves on the way
over. l am satisfied the trend of Amer
lean yachting will be towards the pro-
duction of this sort Of boat"
