"oh, $685." responded the captain.
IL should like to give you an Int.
young man." he added. Wen you're
a-shovin' orr a boat mex time, It
wouldn't be a bad idea to give a man a
chance Of settin' down fust. 1t amt

good a chance as if yer started sittin'

Good ~arternoon!"
But. although the captain was jocu.
lar, his heart vas leayy. Remember
ing the hiding and lodging process
through which he had passed. In the
company of the supposed Philip Grow.
dy, he began to see some dreadful
tragedy, some foul play, which had
caused the death OF his friend. Yet,
being but a simple seafaring man,
and having a great dread Of the power
of the law, he saw himself in unheard.
Of difficulties il he so much as at
tempted to stir in the matter. For had
he not found the body and then fed
from It?
From the look Of that there body"
muttered the captain to himself, as he
strolled along in the gathering twilight

longer, IL l didn't know as ow I'd seen
poor old Phil on'y three days back.

The captain did not finish his sen-
%tence; he shuddered at the remem-
brance of that awful, staring thing he
had left on the muddy bank of the
Thames; and, feeling somewhat faint,
looked about for a house or refresh
ment.
When he emerged, after imbibing
several glasses Of his favorite tonic,
the world wore a brighter aspect: and
the honest captain, staggering along
the pavement, with IN occasional
lurch, as though a heavy gale Of wind
had struck him-had clean forgotten
all about unpleasant bodies or the
chances and changes of this mortal
life; had clean forgotten, in fact, any
thing but that the world was a good
place, and decent rum a thing to be
thankful for.
Now 1t happened, by some unlucky
chance, that Philip Chater-drawn, by
some strong influence, to the cen OF
the tragedy which had been so vividly
stamped upon his mind-came, that
night, to Woolwich; merely wandering
aimlessly, with no settled plans as to
the future, or, indeed, as to the next
hour. And 1t happened, too, that,
walking slowly along a dark, street,
and coming to the corner OF it, he
cannoned against a man who was roll
ing along swiftly, chanting a song In
a very loud and very deep voice.
1t was the captain, and that gentle
man no sooner caught sight of Philip
than his song stopped in the very
middle of a note; indeed, the note
turned to a shrek, and Peter Quist,
beating off the supposed apparition
with both hands, backed away from II

Not Up on Ancient Art.

The late Congressman David b
Henderson of Dubuque. some years
ago addressed the Dubuque people al
a May day festival.
The e~x-speaker, apropos of ignor'
ance, said:
But the worst case Of ignorance ]
ca ntll you of occurred in 80 in a re-
mote section Of our country.
There wos a man who suddenly
became rich and built an enormous
house. He decided to adorn the house
with some %statuary, and so he wrote
to Italy for a copy OF the Venus de
Milo.
"The copy In due time arrived. II
was executed in Carrara marble very
beautifully.

ABLE TO QUOTE SCRIPTURE.
Lawyer Shows He Knows Some Of tn,
Biblical Characters.

Col. John Cosgrove, afterward con-
gresham from the Boonville district,
was especially distinguished as an ad.
vocate before a jury, says the Kansas
City Star. Defending a client accused
of some crime, Col. Cosgrove in an ell
oquent climax shouted:
What does the states attorney ex.
pect? Does he expect my client, like
Daniel, to command the sun to stand
still and have it obey?"
Judge James w. Draffen, lawyer for
the opposition, interrupted:
May it please your honor" he said,
addressing Judge James E. Hazeli,
who was on the bench, Il object to Col.
Cosgrove ~misquoting scripture"
II beg pardon" blandly replied Col.
Cosgrove. 81 forgot for the moment
that it was not Daniel but Solomon
who commanded the sun to stand
still"
And that statement went unchaL

THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL.
ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA.
viii Open Up Immense Area Of Free
Homestead Lands.

The railway facilities OF Western
Canada have been taxed to the ut
termost in recent years to transfer
the surplus grain crop to the eastern
markets and the seaboard. The large
influx OF settlers and the additional
area put under crop have added large
ly to the grain product, and notwith-
standing the increased railway facil-
tiles that have been placed at the dis
posal Of the public, the question OF
transportation has proved to be a Sc
rious one.
II will, therefore, be good news to
everyone interested In Western Can
ada to know that an authoritative
statement has been given out by G.
M. Hays, president Of the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway, that that rail.
way will do its share towards moving
the crop Of 1907 from Alberta, Sas-
katchewan and Manitoba to It'd water,
and thus assist in removing a serious
obstacle which has faced the settlers
during recent years. Mr.. Hays, who
has just completed a trip from Port
age la Prairie to Edmonton In a prai-
RE schooner, a distance Of 735 miles,
which was covered in eighteen days,
10 enthusiastic about the country.
This will be gratifying to settlers in
the Canadian West, even IL Mr.. Hays
declines to be bound to a time limit
with the exactitude OF a stop-watch.
The Grand Trunk Pacific road will be
in a position to take part in the trans
p~ortation OF the crop OF 1907, and that
will be satisfactory to the settlers in
that country when the harvest is gar.
nered.
The wheat crop of 1906 In Western
Canada was about 0 1000, 900 bushels,
and. with the increased acreage which
is confidently expected to be put un-
der crop next year, II is safely calcu-
lated that fully 125. 000, 900 bushels viii
be harvested In 1907. The necessity
for increased transportation facilities
are. therefore. apparent, and the state
ment made by Mr.. Hays will bring en-
couragement to the farmers of the
Canadian West, new and old. The
opening up of additional thousands Of
free homesteads is thus assured by
the agent of the Canadian Govern
ment, whose address appears else

then leased for it, and now she says
arrogantly, II will have it." And she
las set about to buy it. At first she
came with ncr offer Of half million.
But that bait was not attractive
enough. II did not seem to be draw
ing many of the innOcents. Portland
went into secret session. She decided
that she must come down heavier with
the cash. So now she comes smlingly
forward with her $4,000 cash in hand
and beautiful site in sight and says:
Come to me-" She Sweetly assures US
that it will not increase our taxes a
cent and in the end the state will be
vastly better off.
Now all this is only bold, bare at
tempt, not to steal the capital port
land is too honorable to do that but
to buy il. She thinks she sees in the
offer she makes a good trade for her
self She would probably even raise
her bid rather than to lose the trade
now. III the matter is going to be de-
cided on the principle of bargain and
sale, we would suggest that she be
forced to raise her bid to a round
million in addition to the site.
But the question arises, Is the capital
in the market? Does the State of
Maine want to trade away her law
making s,bode? Does she want to COM
pei all her people to go way TO one cor
ner Of her domain when they have any
business with her simply for the privi-
legc of put ting her hand deep in Port
lands purse To purchase new State
House, If she is out for a trade why
not make the best one she can? Why
not put the capital up to the highest
bidder and let Lewiston and Bangor
and any other town have a chance TO
bid that may want to? That would be
business like. If we are going to sell
out let us make the best possible trade.
We do not believe that the location
is going to be decided on financial
grounds alone. If so the most natural
plan would be to eXpend the compare
lively small sum that might be neces-
sary TO put the State House at Augusta
in condition to answer the needs of the
State Tor many years to come. There is
no general demand TO change the loca
ton of the capital.
