livan's hand sought the automatic sig
nal from the bridge forward to the
engine room aft. He heaved a sigh of
relief when the answering bell came
from the engine room indicating that
the signal had been understood.
In astonishment he discovered that
the way of the Mansfield was not
checked. She was going faster than
ever! In furious haste he gave the
engineer the full speed astern sigma!
on the whistle, but it was too late.
Just as the engine started to drive
ahead, the sharp Prov of the Noting
ham smashed into the stern of the
Mansfield and crumpled it up like
pasteboard. The Mansfield was at last
brought up against the dock and
lashed there till the damage could be
ascertained.
Sullivan, wild with wrath, ran down
the gangway toward the engine room.
At the entrance he was met by the
first engineer-the chief also being
ashore.
why didn't you go ahead?" roared
the deck officer
1T is nay fault" admitted the en-
gineer. When you rang l misread
your order, crossed it, in fact, and
gave her full speed astern.'
You'll lose your license for it, too"
Sullivan" exclaimed the engineer,
pleading, desperately, don't tell him.
I've got wife and children. I've had
awful bad luck during the year with
sickness, and I'm heavily in debt
Won't you help me-"
do you mean that should take the
blame?"
The engineer hesitated.
"The captain is fond of you, he NUT
tered. You are engaged to his daugh-
ter. 1t won't mean much to you, but
it would mean death to me and mine,

Sullivan turned on his heel and left
him.

Cleveland.
Before he left the ship he inter

said.
"Was the old man mad?"
Mad! I'm fired. And what's more.
he told me he wouldn't have me for
his son-in-law."
Look here, Sullivan" said Thomp.

LIVING ts CHEAP IN JAPAN.
How They Manage to Exist Conaforta'
bIy on Small Amounts.

1t is estimated that a professional
man in Japan can live with his wife in
comfort on the sum- of $3.50. This
means one large divisible apartment,
q small kitchen, bathroom, a study
and store room, a charming garden,
one servant and surroundings of great
refinement Mats are the coverings
seats; table linen is superfluous
where lacQuered trays and paper nap
kins are used; personal laundry is at
it's minimum where two baths a day
are the custom. The faggots used in
cooking are not much larger than a
mans finger and fuel for ironing is IN
necessary where clothes are stretched
properly upon a frame. Perfect pri-
vacy is one of the luXuries of this mi
mute menage, for a high bamboo fence
shuts off the view of strangers. Each
article of the house is carefully Sc
lected and some of them are OF rare
beauty and of durability that per-
mits them to be handed on from one
generation to another No waste takes
place, for every crumb of the food
prepared is eaten. Flowers are the
chief decoration, and the science OF
flowers is a part of the accomplish
ments of the lady of the house. The
large room, with it's several mats and
it's adjustable partitions, becomes at
night time the sleeping place of the
several members of the house, but
during the day quickly is converted
into spacious, peaceful, f1ower-deco-
rated apartment, the bed clothes being
laid away neatly on the Shelf Ct the
store room. Simplicity, delioacv and
refinement characterize homes of
these qualities-the homes of the roor
who feel no poverty-the abe es Of

For Every Ailig1g Person

/. you could see DR.. Cole, the noted
specialist, OF Minneapolis, about his
daily Office practice, you would be
fcrcibly impressed at once with his
tender care, deep sympathy, kind
words and warmth of feeling for the
hundreds of patients who consult him
every month, in the dire distress of
their bodily affiiction and suffering.
And the piteous, appealing letters that
aiing men and women write him
from all over the country, of their own
;stliction or that of some loved one
who is near and dear to them, asking
for his aid. Great doctors, like DIR.
Alfred L. Cole, are born, not made.
They have that touch of sympathy
that makes the whole human family
a united brotherhood and sisterhood.
To relieve pain, dispel disease and
heal the afflicted has been the lifelong
labor Of this grand old doctor.

CURIOUS CHINESE CUSTOM.
Elaborate Ceremony Attending First
Cutting of a Boys Hair.

One of the most ancient and curious
customs among the Chinese, and onG
rarely cOmmemorated in this country,
was observed with great pomp and
circumstance in Chinatown Sunday
nignr, wnen tong Hook, a leading
merchant, who for years has had the
supervision of the Chinese discounts
in the AnglO-Californian Bank of San
Francisco, entertained his relatives to
a remote degree with a magnificent
banquet in honor of the first cutting
Of the hair of his only son.
The banquet took place at an Eighth
street restaurant, and there were $50
guests. A notable feature was the
fact that the wives and children Of the
guests sat down at the same table
with the heads of families. A most
elaborate menu, comprising birds
nest soup, steam stuffed duck, FoOn
Yon Ha, sharks fins and other rare
and costly Celestial dishes were
served
The banquet cost the happy father
$1,000. During the evening quite a
number of prominent members of the
San Francisco clearing house called at
the restaurant to offer their felicita-
tions to him. The hair cutting cere-
mony, which was observed with pic
turesque rites, symbolizes that Fong
Hooks heir is now a factor in the
family. The guests brought presents
for the little son worth thousands of
dollars.
