Cast Up by tho Sea.

They that go down to the sea in
ships learn much of the mysteries of
life. From the coast of Africa there
travelled to Scarboro. Me, the painting
of an old time sea captain OF that
town who long years ago was lost with
ali on board his ship in the China seas
The ship sailed from the home port
with every prospect of successful
voyage, but she never returned to the
home land Years went by and she
was given up as lost ner name was
taken from the shipping list. and no
news of her came back to the waiting
ones at home. Long afterward Il pass
ing vessel picked up off the African
coast the portrait of an American sea
captain such as the Chinese artists
paint, and on the back of the picture
were the captains name and that Of the
port from which he sailed. The paint
ing was forwarded TO the little Amer
lean town. and ii was found to be Il

LARGEST Grave In the World,

The largest single grave in the world
occupies just exactly one acre OF
ground, which is surrounded by an
iron railing This enormous grave is
located at Pearto Cortez, in Honduras
and is the burial place of a woman
The tombstone occupies the center OF
the ground inclosed. and several wood
en- figures representing the deceased
are arranged in statuelike form in diff
ferent parrs of the ground. There
are no fewer than sixteen of these fig
ures, which in the evening give tn,
place ghostlike appearance. The de
ceased had died rich and in her vii
had specified the amount of ground
to be purchased for her grave and the
manner in which it should be deco
rated. She had many curious notions
and the size and ornamentatiou of her
grave was one of them.

LONG JOURNEY TO WED.
Young Lady Travels to Hong Kong
To Marry Naval Officer.

"
Baltimore, June 2.-According to
advices received by relatives in this
city, Miss Nellie Matthews. daughter
of Nicholas NJ Matthews of Balti-
more. will be married this week in
Hong Kong, China, after a journey
of IS, 900 miles. The bridegroom will
be Ensign Reed M. Fawel1 of Lincoln,
Neb, now commanding the United
States gunboat Samar, stationed at
Hong Kong.
Ensign Fawell was member of
the class of 1905 of the naval acad-
envy and it was at a hop in Anna polls
that he met Miss Matthews. Four
years ago he was ordered to the Phil
| ippines and as he expected to return
! in a couple of years the engagement
was announced and the wedding was
| to have taken place Easter, 1906. Fa-
well, however, was ordered to Japan
and afterwards to China. He had
expected to return to this country
| last month, when the wedding was
to have taken place, but he learned
that he would have to remain In
China for three more years.
! The bride-to-be then went to Wash
ington, saw President Roosevelt and
asked If Fawell could not be ordered
| home, but this availed nothing Miss
Matthews consequently decided &c
leave for Hong Kong.

DOGS AND HYDROPHOBIA.

The New York Times thinks that
the fear of hydrophobia has caused
more trouble and agony than the
malady itself. There is no more
reason says the Times, to be
afraid of hydrophobia now than
there has been at any time since the
dog has been mans best friend
among the lower animals That dogs
are subject to a fatal disease mis-
named hydrophobia-fea of water
Is an assured fact, but the disease
is nol very common. and more trou-
BE and agony have been caused
among man beings by fear of it
than by the malady itself"
Noting the increasing uneasiness
on this score, the Times concludes
that this is going to be hard year

the scare

ought to be exterminated. They are
nuisances Any unlicensed dogs is an
object of iustifiable suspicion. and
although its lack of a license is not
its own fault, it should be put to
painless death when captured. Per-
sons who fail to secure licenses for
their dogs, and who do not properly
look after their dogs health. are
not fit to own dogs. 1t may also be
fairly said that they who Keep dogs
confined in close quarters in crowded
cities are not the kind of folks who
care most for dogs. The physicians
are not agreed as to whether the
hysterical arrangement caused by
fear of hydrophobia can cause death.
1t seems that it may greatly agra
vate some forms of organic disease
But there is no doubt that the story
of the strange death of Mr.. Marsh
has produced a general scare which
will reduce many persons to a state
of nervous prostration, and there is
no doubt that many healthy dogs
will be put to death. Let us all try
to be as sensible as possible, and fair

YOUNG MAN, BE DECENT.

Here's a good chunk of advice for
young men, that will probably fall
far wide of the mark in many cases,
as nothing finds so little favor, as
rule, as advice. Still. if it should in
fluence even one young man, and
persuade him to steer away from the
broad and easy road, it will be worth
great deal more than the space it
takes to publish it.
Young man why don't you be de-
cent? Why not grow to manhood
with honor and credit instead of a
stain upon your character? 1t is just
as easy 1t is always easier to be a
man than to be a rowdy. Cigarettes
and gambling and whisky have had
many wrestles with boys long before
| you came on the scene and they have
never been thrown. Don't get the
! idea in your head that you can turn
the trick If you don't want to be de-
cent for yourself, be decent for
| others
There is one heart whose sorrows
should appeal to you. There is one
who has faced everything for your
sake; one who has to bear the cross
for your foolishness. You don't want
your trail through this world stain
ed with a mothers tears. The one
who turns brazen face to a mothers
grief never gets very far on the road
to happiness. When he gets little
older you will find his name on the
police docket of various cities, lit
| tie later the dark shadows of stone
| walls loom up across his pathway.
Without honor, home or friends.
| " Tis a sad picture, but is painted
every day in the various towns of
this broad land. The pathway of the
| transgressor is one of rocks and
| thorns Be decent. 1t always pays div
| idends'

II. Clay Pierce, unless he and his
lawyers can devise ways and means
TO avoid the decree of the United
States supreme court, must stand
trial before a Texas court on charge
of false swearing. What evidence
there may be to sustain an indict-
ment that has been legally drawn
and regularly originated is not
known, though, Judging from the ef-
forts of Pierce to avoid trial in
this state. there must be something
in the whole matter to cause uneasi-
ness. Mr.. Pierce is either guilty or
innocent of the charges preferred
and no one on earth knows this any
better than ne does. If he is guilty
and the evidence is produced to es-
tablish his guilt a Texas court OF
Justice will give Pierce the full ben
eft of our law against false swear
ing. If he is innocent. Mr.. Pierce
need fear nothing from trial in this
state. In attributing this prosecution
TO political causes Mr.. Pierce and his
LAWYER. Priest, are making a mistake
that is not calculated to preprejudice
Texas people in favor of the promi-
inent oilfactor who is now refugee

This incident should be widely exploit

the head of naval officer who refused
to give the countersign stood for the
spirit that makes the military service ef-
fective. 1t matters not under what Cir
cumstances the superior officer refused or
failed to give the countersign, nor does
it affect the principle in the case whether
the incident occurred in time of peace or
war; Regulations are made to be obeyed,
and the injunction of obedience is even
more urgent upon the higher officer than
upon the inferior. The marine who in
sists upon getting the countersign and
who stops his man when he does not get
