Those on board were enjoying them selveS to their utmost. Some were singing, whilst tinkling piano gave accompaniment from the tiny cabin.
 None thought of danger. The little craft was sound. The men on board knew how to manage her. What cause for fear was there?
 An ungainly tug, its heavy paddle, wheels churnipg the water into a seething froth, and dragging behind it 0 string of low-lying mud barges, ap- preached. Then what happened next no one on board quite knows, but sud denly the little yacht became mixed up in the string of mud barges.
 The mortified sailors on board the tugboat saw the little yacht heel over suddenly, then turn turtle completely. Four figures rose to the surface and struck out frantically toward the cap sized boat, and clung to the keel until the captain of a passing passenger steamer. seeing their plight. stopped his engines and brought them of in safety.
 Then, with the fear of death no longer lowering round them, the four rescued passengers had time to think of their companions. Where were the remaining four? No one had noticed them. Presently one mentioned the name of Fanny Day.
 Not one of them had seen her rise after the yacht had been overturned. Each looked in the others face, and blankly wondered who would volun- teer to bear the terrible tidings to her parents. ...s
 Still. there were several hours for thought on this sad matter. For the steamer was outward bound on an ex- cursion, and would not return to New York until the evening.
 Dusk fell. and with a feeling of thankfulness the four survivors felt once more firm ground beneath their. feet. But what of Fanny Day? Who would face the ordeal and relate the tragedy of that dayg At last, feeling too unnerved themselves. they depu- ted two of their friends to undertake the duty.
 The door opened and at the same moment the two friends stepped back in fear. For there before their eyes stood Fanny Day.
 She related how. when the yacht capsized. she had sunk seemingly fathoms into green. briny water. how she had risen towards the surface and felt the hard bottom of a mud barge. above her head.

A Glance Behind the Mask of Grand

eur.
 Not until late in the spring of his second year did Burbank find a trace of gall in his wine
 From the night of his election par asites and plunderers and agents of plunderers had imprisoned him in the usual presidential fools paradise. The organs Of the interests and their con gressiOnal hencbmen praised every thing he did: I and my group of con- gressmen and my newspapers. as by al partizans. bent first of all upon reg ularity. were silent where we did not praise also. But the second year of a presidents first term is the begin ming of frank. if guarded, criticism of him from his own side. For it is practically his last year of venturing io exercise any real official power The selection of delegates to the party's national convention. to which a president must submit himself for leave 10 re-submit himself to the peo- Ile, is well under way before the end of his third year: and direct and act i've preparations for it must begin long in advance
 Late in that second spring Bur bank made a tour of the country. to give the people the pleasure of see ing their great man. to give himself the pleasure of their admiration, and 10 help on the congressional cam ,aIgn. the result of which would be he preliminary popular verdict upon ais administrator The thinness of he crowds. the feebleness of the en-

Blindness of COnCeit.

Ever notice the density Of con-
ceited person." asked a business man.
TO me, that's the most striking thing
about such an individual. Maybe he
has some qualities that Justify his
good opinion Of himself, and maybe
not: he's dense, just the same, and
the proof if it. is that he doesn't real
lie how he impresses his associates
unpleasantly. If the average cOnceit-
al man had the least idea of the
handicap under which he is laborlng
he'd shed it mighty quick. But he
hasn't, and it's impossible TO drill it
into him. He's the modern human os-
trich with his head stuck into the
sand, so far as any recognition of his
dlsagreeable trait is concerned

Be Patient, DepOSitOrS.

BIyan's Commoner has the follow
ing timely editorial upon the finan-
cial situation:
In other editorials the Commoner
has pointed out certain remedies that
ought to be invoked for relieving the
pr sent ranic and the protection of
the public for the future, but it begs
to urge patience and confidence upon
the part Of its readers. The banks
are. as u rule, perfectly sound. They
are not loaded up with bad paper. EX-
animation will show that prices have
been rising and that men are better
able to pay their debts than they
were ten or even five years ago, but
the depositors can precipitate panic
if they are unreasonable enough to do
so. The withdrawal of few dollars
Il day by each depOsitor, if he depos-
its none will soon cripple the strongest
institution while an agreement among
the dtpositors to exercise a little
more faith will soon relieve the sit
nation. This is a time when deposit
tors should recognize the service OF
the bank to the community-for the
bank would not exist but for the To-
cal demand for it--and the deposition
should help to protect the community
by giving such support as is within
his power. The deposition who thinks
only Of himself at a time like this is
us rauch to he criticised as the cit
lien who, thinking only Of himself in
time Of war. refuses to bear any VI
the risks or dangers necessary for his
country's protection.

RECIPE MIXED OFTEN
Druggists Hear Praise for
This Mixture.
THE RECIPE IS VERY SIMPLE
Lots of People Here Had the
Simple Home Made Mix
tnre Prepared.

Some remarkable stories are being
told about town and among the cOun-
try people coming in of this simple
homemade mixture curing Rheuma-
tism and Kidney trouble. Here is the
receipt and directions for taking: Mix
by shaking well in a bottle one half
ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
ovnce Compound Kargon, three ounces
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Take
as a dose one teaspoonful after meals
and at bedtime.
No change need be made in your
usual diet, but drink plenty of good
water
This mixture, writes one authority
in Il leading Philadelphia newspaper,
has a peculiar tonic effect upon the
Kidneys; cleansing the clogged-up
pCres of the eliminative tissues, fore
ing the kidneys to sift and strain
from the blood the uric acid and other
poisonous waste matter, overcoming
Rheumatism, Bladder and Urinary
troubles in a short while.
= New York druggist who has had
hundreds of calls for these ingred-
tents since the first announc ment
in the newspapers last October stated
that the people who once try IL swear
10y it, especially those who have Cri-
nary and Kidney trouble and suffer
with Rheumatism.
The druggists in this neighborhood
say they can supply the ingredients,
which are easily mixed at home.
There is said to be no better blood
cleansing agent or system tonic
known, and certainly none more harm
less or simple TO use.

Schemes of this class have again
come to grief along with the gullible
investors, causing serious loss to
innocent business concerns, as is
always the case of panics in Wall St.

to consider causes and means to
avoid like trouble in the future.

A FEMININE STEEPLE JACK.

Miss Lydia Atkins, aged Is, the
daughter of j. 7. Atkins, we'll
known Leicester chimney builder and
steeple-jack, and her brothers, aged
10 and 6, respectively, are literally
following in their fathers footsteps.
Mr.. Atkins belongs to family
which for 200 years has had pen
chant for scaling church steeples and
chimney stacks, saw a paragraph in
a newspaper recording how the
daughter of a vicar was hauled up
the steeple of her fathers church in
a chair. Mr. Atkins was convinced
that his own daughter could do bet
ter than that, and proceeded to mi
tiate her into the mysteries of his
hazardous calling.
The result is that the girl, after
making several successful climbs, last
week accomplished the exceedingly
difficult performance of ascending at
the Leicester Corporation Water
Works at Smithland, a chimney 144
feet high in five minutes, and made
the descent in even less time. Miss
Atkins now challenges every girl of
less than 8 years to a steeple or
chimney climbing competition.
Her little brothers are also being
trained by their father as steeple-
jacks, and have already climbed sew
eral chlmneys over hundred feet

"WOrk" in Scotland.

A New Yorker who crosses the At

he was in Dundee, Scotland, when h,
found himself in need of shoes.
On entering the first shop he came
to, he was surprised to find that pa
irons were expected to sit in an or
binary, stiff, high-backed chair, ant
that there was no rest for the feet
nothing, in fact, in the way of accom-
mediation.
After making his purchase, and as
he was about to leave the shop, he
said to the clerk:
I'm American shoestores there is q
rest placed on the floor in front OF
each customer, and on this rest he
places his foot. Just back of this
rest is seat on which sits the clerk
as he fits the customer

all this. Then, leaning confidentially
toward the American, he said:
