When to Make Camn.

When the sun comes within the
width of two paddle-blades of the
horizon, If you are wise you will take
the first bit of level ground within
reach of wood and water, and make
haste to get the camp in order before
dark. So we pitched our blue tent
on the beach with screen of bushes
at the back to shelter us from the
wind; broke double quantity of
fir branches for our bed, to save US
from the midnight misery of sand in
our blankets; cut a generous supply
of firewood from a dead pine tree
which stood conveniently at hand;
and settled down in comfort for the
night.-FEom "a Holiday in Vaca-
tion," by Henry van Dyke, in the

STEAMSHIP PONCE IS SAFE
Tramp lows Missing Liner Into
Hamilton; Bermuda.
Practically Given Up Fer Lost With
Tifty-nino Aboard-FoUnd Drift
ing With Tail Shaft Broken.

Hamilton, Bermuda. After ali
hope had virtually been abandoned
for her, the. steamship Ponce, of the
New York ana Puerto Rico line, elev-
en- days overdue from Puerto Rico.
has at last been heard from and is
safe, She was sighted off Hamilton
in tow of the steamship Elizabeth
Rickmers, having apparently been
disabled and picked up on the high
seas.
Every one of the fifty-nine persons
on board the Ponce is in good health.
The officers, crew and passengers had
a trying experience while the Sip
was drifting around before rescue
came, but no fatalities occurred.
The Elizabeth Rickmers will get
about 100000 for her salvage Job.
She towed tbs Ponce for five days.
The sea was smooth throughout, but
the Elizabeth Rickmers, a craft much
smaller than the Ponce, had ali she
could do to lug the crippled liner
along.
That the Ponce was safe became
known at o'clock, a. M, when the
marine observer at the head of Muir
rays Anchorage sighted the smoke OF
a steamer in the offing.
Within ten minutes it was seen
that q tramp steamer had a larger
vessel in tow, and the observer pres
emily discovered the yellow and black
funnel of the Ponce. The latter had
no signal set, but there was no "a
taking her.
Bermuda has been haven for dis
abled ships for some years. But tho
arrival of no crippled vessel made
such an impression upon the people
here as when the Ponce was towed
in. Whistles were blown and flags
&ere hoisted in her honor.
The passengers ON board are: d.
A. Fox and H. Bates, of New York;
p. T. Kidd. of Westwood. N. j.; G..
D. Campbell, of Eoboken; Henry w.
Rogers, of Philadelphia; Gregorio
Santiago and Maria Mayoral, of
Ponce, Porto Rico
To the correspondent who went
aboard the Ponce, Captain Harvey
said that the tail shaft of the vessel
was broken december 30, when she
was four days out of Ponce.
Chief Engineer James McMeikan,
with his assistants, Dean and Way
man, tried to make repairs but with
out success. The vessel saw two sail
ing vessels between the time tina. she
left Puerto Rico and her breakdown.
One of these was the ship Shenan-
doah. The Ponce drifted to the east
ward for days without seeing any
vessels until the Elizabeth Rickmers
came along.
Captain Harvey stated that in his
opinion repairs to his vessel would
require weeks time. The hull Of
the ship is in good condition aad her
cargo is unchanged. 'Ihe seven pas
sengers on board sent cables to their
relatives at the expense of the com
pany.

What Was the Matter with Him ?

A Richmond man has in his employ
a colored man of advanced age who,
by reason of his thrifty habits, had
accumulated enough money to defray
the cost of his sons tuition at ne
gro college in Alabama.
When the darky's boy returned to
Richmond after the completion of his
course, he proceeded, much to his
parents disgust, to air his opinions
on various subjects in more or less
diffuse and ford style of speech.
One day the old man took him
aside and addressed him as follows:

His Ambition.

Yellow-covered literature was not

Harold had friends who narrated to
him some of the stirring tales they

with long purse. Perhaps you've
not decided yet what you'd like to be

HaTveI For the Substitute.

Bishop Talbot, the Cowboy Bish-
op," the original of the bishop pic
tured by Owen Wister in his Lin
Mclean" and THE Virginian," had
a host of picturesque EXPERIENCES
during the years of his life on the
plains when he was Bishop of Wy
oming and Idaho.
Entering particularly wild min
ing camp in Idaho one day, he went
from one saloon and gambling house
to another, inviting the men to at
tend meeting in one of the dance
halls on the following day. Out of
sheer curiosity to hear what this
churchman would say, the men
fiocked to the meeting, and his tren-
chant words and his manliness made
instant friends.
For three weeks he remained at
the camp, working day and night,
and when finally ne announced that
he must leave committee of miners
solemnly went to him and offered
him salary of $4,000 to stay and
hustle up this preachin' business. !"
He was, of course, unable to accept
their proposition, but offered to send
them a good man in his place. To
this, however, the committee de-
INJURED. 1t was not in the DEAL, -
they said.
They retired for consultation, and
then came back with another offer.
IF you'll send us good talker and
good mixer" they said, well
guarantee him at least $1,000 year.
But, please they added, implor-
ingly, don't send US no stick. -

Improved Machine Mixers.

The progress of the milking ma
chine toward perfection is becoming
quite rapid. The latest type machine
by New Zealand inventor delivers
the milk straight into the bucket
without going through any tubes, al
though tubes are used to convey the
necessary action to the teats. A New
Zealand dairyman writes: my
twelve-year-old son can fix and adj
just the machine with the greatest
ease. One man or boy can attend
to four machines and can milk from
four to ten cows in twenty minutes. .

IOWA MOB HANGS
WIFE MURDERER
Preachers and Women in Crowd
at Charles City laIl.
viCTIil WAS FEEBLE MINDED
James CuIlcn, Sixty Years Of age, a
Temper ce Fanatic, laken
From Cell and Hanged on a
Bridge.

Bridge.
Waterloo, Iowa.-It is estimated
that 1000 persons, some of whom
were women and one or two preach
ers, were in the mob that took James
Cullen from the County Jail at
Charles City and lynched him. Cul-
len was hustled to bridge that
spans tho Cedar River and strung
UP there. The jail force was made
quate to keep out the lyaching party.
Cullen, who was sixty years old,
and for years had been weak-minded,
had been imprisoned for numbering
his wife and his stepso- There lad
been a general impression in the
country roundabout that Cullen
might escape the full penalty, as it
was recalled that Louis Busse, wife
lnurG eTer, lad twice been reprieved
with final communication of his SEN
tence to lie imprisonment.
The prisoner was first taken to a
vacant lot two blocks away from he
main part of the city and told to say
his prayers, as his time was short.
Some of tie crowd Joined in the pray
er with him. After praying Cullen
was hurried to the bridge.
Practically the whole town followed
the mob and their victim. No effort
was made to stop the lynching. Ar
irving at the bridge the crowd halted.
There was silence a moment Some
one offered another prayer, after
which q rope was placed about Cul-
lens neck and he wa3 pushed over
the bridge. Then the mob dispersed.
Cullen's brother, richard Cullen, a
banker, of Warren, ILL.,, was in the
city at the time, but did not know
anything about the !. nching until it
was all over.
The man had married three times,
his former two wives both parting
from him. He hid accumulated $780,
600.
Men who participated in the affair
said that they did not fear proSecu-
ton. They declared that they dis
liked mob violence, but considered
that if summary execution was ever
justifable it was in the case of Gull
len. They declared that the estate
of $4,000 would have been used to
fight his case in the courts and that
it would have been years before he
would have met punishment, if ever.
Cullen was always known as a
man CT bad temper and was eccen-
trio. He was fanatic on the ub-
iect of temperance and boosted that
he had never taken drink of liquor
in his life.
