The Pan Of a Greek Merchant on Q
Storm-Tossed Ship.

The Pan Of a Greek Merchant on .
storm-Tossed Ship.
The ofic ers of the liner Alameda,
lu, says the San Francisco Call,
brought word Of a tragic incident In
the fateful voyage of the German
steamer Tolosan, bound from Puget
sound for Vladivcstok, which put into
Homo ulu Jan. in sore distress.
Great seas swept the decks and
wrought fearful damage; the ship be-
came disabled during the hurricane
and was thrown On its beam ends.
The cargo shifted. One man was kill
ed and others injured, and when the
Tolosan was sighted from Diamond
Head the big freighter looked like a
mass, of battered junk
The Tolosfn carried one passenger,
a Greek mer> hant who owned a large
shipment Of uit that formed part of
the Soiosan's cargo. When the storm
was at its height the Greek, with a
razor cleaning in his hand, fought his
way against the gale to the bridge
ana SlSEdl1Su 10 tuS captain luol hc
wished to speak with him.
viii the ship sink?'' demanded the
PASSENGER.
"Pe,haps,'' replied the skipper.
Are we going down now?''
NO We still have chance"
"Win you send word to me when
there is no longer hope?'
Get off TIE bridget" screamed the
skipper. why do you trouble me at
a tire like this? Go to your room.''
Put will you let me know" per-
sisted the Greek.
-Why?" yelled the captain.
I'm afraid of drowning and before
the skip sinks 1 want to cut my
throat"
TIE gentleman from Greece arrived
at Honolulu with his throat intact, but
would travel no more on the Tolosan
and took passage for the Orient on the
liner China.

BUTTER PRODUCTION
Stearns County Makes a Coed
Showing in the Report Of the
Dairy Commissioner.

The Farmer, published in St. Paul,
has the following interesting article
in the last issue:
The Dairy and Food Commission g
report indicates that Ramsey county
produces nearly one tenth of all the
butter produced in the state of Minp-
esota. According to the figures jnst
complied by the State Dairy and Food
Commission there were 81, zoo, 600
pounds of butter manufactured at the
creameries il this state last year. OF
this amount Ramsey county turned
out 1900, 900 pounds. The un1nform-
ed might get wrong impression from
this report, as Ramsey is not, strictly
speaking, dairy producing county
but manufacturer of butter. the raw
product being shipped in from all
over the state. While Ramsey county
manufactures the most butter she
would occupy place near the foot of
the line when it comes to the produc-
Va law uatCI ldl. TIcCDOTu COu lily
manufactured close on to 4,OOO, ,OOO
pounds of butter during the year of
1907 and while she occupies second
place as manufacturer of butter she
holds first place in the amount pro-
iuced \ Stearns county comes next
with $500, 600 pounds; Carver had 8,
zoe, 900 and Steele produced 3,lOO, 600.
During the year of 1907 n, ,769 farmers
sold their cream to farmers creameries
as against 81 900 that solo to them
during the previous year and 5000
farmers sold cream to the farmers
creameries in 1904. This gradual in.
crease in patronage does not indicate
that the centralizers are making SER
ious inroads on the patronage of the
farmers creameries.''

PET NAMES VARY.
In France my Little Pig Is a Term
of Endearnnent


of Endearment.
The terms employed by the people
of one nation as the choicest phrases
in their vocabulary of endearment are
often employed for quite the opposite
purposes by other people. One of the
most familiar and most coveted
phrases of endearment among the
French, for instance, is My little
pig!" and My little puppy dog is
also much appreciated. When a
French husband calls his wife "cat, y
she does not fly into passion Of re-
sentiment, as an Englishman's wife
might do under the same circum-
stances. but takes it as gentle COM
pIiment. On the other hand, if he
were to call her "a duck" as the Brit
ish husband might to his wife, she
would be very much offended.
Some time ago, in Germany, letters
written by the late Count Won Moltke
to lis betrothed were published. In
these tie great soldier frequently cali
ed the lady My little kernel of cof-
fee This strikes one, as very queer
pet name, and has suggested to Gym
ical authority that, in view of the
writer's prof sssion, MY little grain of
powder or My little lump of lead,
would have been more appropriate.
A persons individual likings and
occupation frequently supply him with
terms of endearment. A farmer some
times calls mis- little girl his "colt." "
and a well known fisherman, to whom
the creatures Of the brook were as the
apple of his eye, used to begin his let
tiers to his wife when on his fishing
expeditions with the words, MY dear
little speckled trout"

-Sundown Doctors are an institu-
ton peculiar to Washington city.
Trey are an amiable company Of
medical practitioners who ply their
trade only after nightfall.
Not that these gentlemen prefer
darkness to light if they had their
d'ruthers, says the Louisville Courier
Journal, nor are their deeds of ques-

in the shade.
Sundown doctors have no ways that
are dark or tricks that are vain. They
are as open as the day that they may
not utilize If they practice their
profession by candle-ight rather than
by the sunshine that's uncle Sans
fault, not their own. .,..
Sundown doctors begin to get busy
only after 4:30 in the afternoon.
From to that hour, poor souls, they
are no ding their noses to the grind
