MOTHER PROUD AND HAPPY BUT
FATHER MUSES., "IT's ALWAYS
THE POOR FOLKS WHO GET
THE MOST BABIES"

There is mixed JOY and sadness In
No. 80 Mack-ave. Lusty triplets-
Margaret. Raymond and Albert--came
TO bless the Havelt home Monday
night. Mamma Havelt is proud and
happy. and Papa Havelt Is figuring on
the prospect Of shoe s. dresses. coats
etc. In triplicate.
Also, the triplets are lusty OF voice
and urgent In manner. and 1t Is some
bother TO soothe sthree unhappy In
fants at once when the situation re-
quires fioor-promenading. as was the
case Wednesday night. Havelt Is q
lumber scaler with c. w. Kotcher &
Co. and already has a family OF five
and has had the misfortune 10 lose
four children beside. the last being a
baby born In March. 1907.
The triplets are very healthy set
OF children. however. and give every
indication OF surviving the carly trou'
bles OF infancy. Havelt is 3S years OF
age and his wife is SO. They came
here from Alpena about two years ago
and occupy the front portion OF the
house at No. So Mack-avc., which Is
near the yard at which ne was EN-.
ployed.
There were no special festivities at
the triple christening. Tuesday night,
but celebration is planned for next
week when the relatives o. the couple
will have gathered here. Mrs. Havelt
is doing nicely and expects 10 be able
to be about and care for the little ones
within a few days, their present care
devolving largely on her sister and q
~ year-old daughter.
Its. queer that the storlx always
brings the triplets TO poor folks" Ha-

NEW YORK. May THE fifty men

Thursday. on the Long Island coast
were in peril OF being washed into
the sea today, when the vessel began
breaking up In the pounding combers

The 80 men of the regular crew and
20 or wrecking crew had been busy
since the vessel went aground on the
shoals, removing her cargo. Instead
OF leaving the wrecked ship at the first

they remained aboard and were
aroused early today by the swinging
OF the vessel on the shadows.
All hands turned out, but the sea
was already running so high that II
was impossible any longer to get 10

would abate after dawn and there as
little apprehension for a time. But al
daybreak the gale increased In VIC

higher than ever.
Ship Badly Listed.
Soon the waves rose so high that they
began washing over the seaward side
OF the vessel. The ship began pound.

shocks after each wave passed over

The wrecking tug Rescue stood by.
but the seas were running 80 high that
II was impossible for the little vessel
TO approach the stranded ship to take
off the men on her. The men OF the

When the first boat load OF blue
jackets landed, this morning. they
were greeted with a prolonged cheer
and were escorted by an impromptu
committee composed of every person
who could get near them.
The sights which met Jacks eye IN
Frisco today. were an exaggeration or
what he had seen all the day up the
coast. At Los Angeles the reception
was cordial and at Santa Barbara and
Monterey he was greeted effusively,
but the manner In which he was re-

all. He is the hero--the lion OF the
