back to port after having been driven
far to sea.
Pots and kettles In the cooks room
are always lashed to the stove and the
walls to prevent them from flying
about under the stress Of the rolling
ship. Each member of the crew when
he sits down to the little mess table
below decks has his coffee cup and his
tin plate securely held in place by
number of pegs set in the table. Some
times even then the coffee goes flying
into the plumduff or the scouse (made
of "salt horse" potatoes and parsnips)
and the pork jumps into the molasses.
Because during heavy gales water
washes over decks in a clean sweep,
the portfolios Of the berth deck and
cabins which are below decks are never
opened.
Sometimes the rolling of the ship is
such as to render seasick even those
tried old lightship salts, many of whom
have spent years whaling and grown
accustomed to the 'crow's nest" q

LEAD LONELY LIVES.
MOST DANGEROUS LIGHTsHIP
STATION IN THE WORLD.
That Maintained by Uncle Sam on
Nantucket, Mass, Is Noted
Hardy Sailormen Who Constantly y
Face Perils I'm Many Forms.

Probably upon no reef guard station
In the world have the lives of brave
and bold men been so often hazarded
as up on the Nantucket Shoals light
ship, which is located forty miles south
from Nantucket, Mass. More than half
a century has elapsed since the govern
ment first stationed a llghtship at this
dangerous and lonesome spot. Until
recently the lightship was a sail
equipped vessel, but now it Is steam
propelled; yet whether operated by
steam or sail the dangers and hard
ships of the men confined on 1t are
one and the same.
Forty miles out at sea, cooped in
the little shell that, day after day and
month after month, swings and tugs
at Its 7,0O0-pound anchor lying in 1S
fathoms Of water, the life of the Nan
tucket lightship sailorman is one of
almost complete isolation from the
first Of November until the opening of
the spring months During the bit
terest six months of the year there are
no reprieves or shore leave.
Sometimes for two months or more
during the severest periods of the win
ter, these dozen men are without com.
munication with the shore save the
messages sent to them by wireless
telegraphy. Often for days their only
visible companion Is the great red
brown buoy swinging In the sea halt
mile from the ship.
Even this object, which Is endear
ed to the heart of every man aboard
the lightship, In particularly bad
weather breaks adrift from its moor
ings or Is frequently shut out from
sight for weeks by the dense fogs which
drift In over the ocean like a pail from
the southwark, and then the melan
choly of the loneliness which pervade.
these men Is not lifted until a close
passing vessel or the lnfrequent ad
vent Of the winter sunlight comes tc
chase away the monotony of theil
existence.
But loneliness is only one Of tn,
hardships Of the men on the Nantucke
Shoales lightship, though 1t is the on,
dreaded. There are the days wheI
the fog settles down over the isolated
vessel In thick, damp cloak, com
pletely enshrouding the hulk from stem
to stern-days when only the far of
sound of a passing steamers ghostly
whistle or a sailing vessels horn, OF
the systematic roar of the steam 70.
horn aboard the lghtship, Is all theil
world.

HOG Cholera.

For fourteen years we lived In a
sandy portion Of northern Nebraska.
At that time we all confidently con-
graduated ourselves on the fact that
hog cholera would never gain much
headway on that kind Of soil. all the
time we lived there we never lost a
hog with cholera. This year reports
from there indicate the loss Of large
per cent Of the crop raised, with the
disease still unchecked. 1t seems, after
all, that hog cholera is no respecter, of
soil or climate. No one had better brag
on his herd having been free from the
disease or the first thing he knows he
will lose about nlne-tenths of them.-

The Old Maid Aunts.

If you want to be interested, visit a
family where there IS but one baby
and two or three old maid aunts. Sis
ters always love each other In way
to attract admiration, and an old maid
loves her sisters baby almost as much
as the mother. And away down deep
in her heart an old maid thinks the
baby loves her as much as 1t loves its
mother. If we could have our wish we
would wish to be baby In family
where there are two or three old maid
aunts then we would receive attention.

sawdust for Bedding.

Sawdust Is one of the best SUBJ
stances that can be used In the pig pen,
and 1t Is also excellent In the stalls.
While sawdust does not quickly de-
compose, yet 1t is an excellent absorb
ent, and in time is reduced to Its orig
lnal elements. 1t Is clean, easily ham
died and Is not bulky, while Its odor
Is not disagreeable. 1t also serves to
keep the manure In finely divided
condition.

Every farmer realizes the value of a
short rotation Of crops in maintain
ing the fertility of the soil. Yet it
is not at all uncommon to seed to timo-
thy and clover and NOW the field for
three or four consecutive years till
every vestige of clover has disappeared
and nearly all the value of the clover
plant as a renovator of the soil is lost,
says a writer in Ohio Farmer. l be-
lieve sowing timothy with the clover
Is all right. l always practice 1t.
Then l am quite sure of catch, and
| get more and better hay. There are
also other advantages which space for
bids | should enumerate here. l be-
lieve, though, that the meadow should
be moved but once and never more
than twice before plowing.
How it makes our hearts glad when
a neighbor brings home borrowed
implement or tool all broken up, say
ing "get 1t fixed and I'll make 1t all
right with you" 1t takes some deal
ers about month to get repairs after
they are ordered, hence the man who
waits until the last minute will be apt
to have to tarry several days after
wanting to use the article before he
has the needed repairs made. The
man who depends upon the snail has
to allow 1t plenty Of time to arrive
with the goods.-St Louis Globe-Dem-

An interesting point was decided by the
state court of appeals yesterday in the case of
Joe Hammock vs.. the State, from the city court
of Macon. In the decision rendered by Judge
Arthur G. Powell, the decision of Judge Rob-
ert Hodges, of the city court of Macon, was re-
versed, which practically means the acquitta of
the defendant
It seems that deputy sheriff, whose name
is not given in the decision, suspected Ham
mock of carrying concealed weapons, arrested
him, searched and found pistol on his person.
There was no other charge of com plant against
Hammock, yet he convicted and sentenced
for carrying concealed weapons.
The state court of appeals in reversing the
decision, holds that this was case of illegal ar
rest and search against which the citizens of the
state are protected by the state constitution. In
other words, in the case of the arrest of a man
for carrying concealed weapons a warrant
charging the crime must first be served, for it
is against the constitutional rights of the citizen
to summarily search him on suspicion and then
use the evidence found to incrimiuate him. The
constitution, it is held, protects the citizens of
the state against unlawful search and seizure
and any evidence found under such circumstan-
ces cannot be used against him.
Notwithstanding this interesting decision,
there still remains TO be decided that question
of search and seizure, which is common to po-
lice courts. A man may be arrested for plain
drunk, and when the police search him at the
police station, pistol may be found upon his
person. Can he then be prosecuted for carry
ing concealed weapons, and this evidence be
used against him? This is an interesting ques-
ton, which the court of appeals or the supreme
court may soon be called upon>to decide.
