THE SPECTER SWIMMER.
A Legend of the Sea That Still Appeals
 to Sailors.


 to Sailors.
 The sailor as a class still holds fast to the superstitiOns that have been his especial heritage throughout all ages. To him the sea is still peopled with phantoms. Men there are still who sail the sea believing in the power of the Swimmer, men who believe in the Wal rus of unholy fame and in the exist ence of the specter bark Lucy to be seen at any time lodging in and out of the creeks and bays of the South Caro- lima coast. This is the tale of the Swim mer:
 Near Cape Finisterre there lived fisher maiden in days when the world asked fewer questions than now, and with her lived her fisher sweetheart On their wedding night, runs the yarn smugglers came down on their village, a thieving. drunken band. When they left. having done all the damage they could, the fisher maiden's sweetheart had disappeared, whether with them or through them was never known. Instead of pining uselessly, as would most women. she dressed herself in  mems clothes and started to find him. dead or alive.
 For years she wandered over the earth and ocean, and, though her dis Guise was penetrated several times and she passed through host of trou- bles which vary with each telling, she succeeded in keeping up her hunt Fi- naIly after escaping from an English prison the vessel she was on was lost at sea, and the simple Breton fisher men enshrined her in a legend which has her forever swimming the seas still ill search of the man she loved and hailing each craft she hears. \ sailor. be be Yankee or Portuguese matter of fact in all things else or grossly superstitlous. believes firmly that if you hear the hail of the Swim mer on q dark night at sea and an. swer it not woe follows swiftly.-Ne0 York Herald.

The Perfect Servant.

The thoroughly trained English sery- ant is in his way the most perfect kind of servant to be found anywhere. and
 in his station and for his duties he is not to be matched in the world. Where will you find any men so competent in their work, so completely trained and apparently emotionless in manner, so punctual, so clean, so smart, as an English butler, coachman, footman or valet? Certainly not on the continent of Europe, in the United States, fin Canada or in Australia.-Country Life.

Metals and Metaphors

'Tt is most amazing" said a metal lursist. how the world relies on met als for it's metaphors and similes. Thus an orator is silver tongued or golden mouthed. An explorer is bronzed by African suns. A resolute chap has an iron will. A sluggard moves with lead en feet. An ostrich has a copper lined stomach. A millionaire has tin. A swindler is as slippery as quicksilver. 4 borrower has brass."-New York Press.

 Mrs. DeMuth is a sister of MT Schwantes and the brothers-in-law have been in business together in Cal ifOrnia before they opened their Doug las store. Trouble had occurred there but Mir. Schwantes says he agreed to continue the business because of his sister. Some weeks ago Mir DeMuth went to California and wrote back a letter which the sister and brother here construed as a wish to end the business. Therefore the notices of dis solution were posted.

Saved By Reins.

Lowell, Aug. 2l. (Delayed).
 The heavy flood which came down the canyon last night nearly added another one to its long list of victims when Mrs. Haldorf who resides at Bakersville attempted to cross the creek between the Johnson Addition and Lowell Mrs. Haldorf had earl fer in the evening engaged a horse and buggy of the BrOphy stables and was returning home from a visit to Bisbee. Coming to the creek near the gas plant she attempted to cross in the darkness, not realizing her danger until too late. The water al this point was about five feet deep and running very swiftly. in Mrs. HaIdorf's at. tempt to reach the other side the buggy was overturned, throwing the lady out into the stream. Luckily for her she still retained her grip oh the lines, the horse being handicapped by the buggy which was being carried down stream. managed to kick loose and reach the other side with Mrs. HaldOrf still clinging to the reins The buggy and a portion of the harness which were total wreck, were found near the TOvrea slaughter house. Mrs. Haldorf was pretty badly bruised up by being thrown against the large bOulders and brush while in the water but escaped serious injury and possi- ply death by the tight grip with which she held to the lines. The horse which was a real hero, is badly scar red up and will be confined to his stall for several days.
