SHANGHAIED BOY
IN WEIRD STORY
HOWARD RAY OF SAN FRANCISCO
AGED Is, HAS BEEN ALL
OVER WORLD.
NABBED BY BRITISH TARS.
Lad Declares American Consul in South
American Post Refused to Help
Him Escape from Ship
FEARS PARENTS QUAKE VICTIMS.

PlTTSBURG, Pa. Dec. 2S.-Howard
Kay, 1o-year-old lad on his way to San
francisco, hoping to find his home and
his parents whom he left before the
earthquake, told Il sensational story of
adventure as a sailor. of being shang-
haled by the crew of British ship and
OF being miStreated by United States
consul i'll Brazil to whom he applied for
relief, in the police station here last
night when he applied for lodging.
W hen 13 years of age, he sand, he
shipped as cabin boy ut San Francisco
on the steamship Chill, bound for Cape
Town. As cabin boy and ~ ordinary
seaman, often performing the full duties
OF a grown man, he worked his way on
different ships to Sydney. Melbourne and
TO many other points, finally landing at
Rio Janeiro, Brazil, where he was seized
with desire to return home. He shipped
on boat bound for Norfolk, Va, and
reached that port without adventure and
was given his pay for the voyage and
his discharge.
Seized by British Sailors.
Walking through the streets of Nor
folk, he says he was suddenly seized by
sailors from the British coal steamer,
Iltania, and carried aboard where he
was kept prisoner for several days until
and put to work as Il sailor. The ship
was short of men and he was forcibly
taken on as Il recruit.
In course of time he was again in Rio
Janeiro, where he complained to the
United States consul. That official the
lad AYERS, gave him curt treatment,
hushed up the fact of his having been
shanghaied, after several conferences
with the British consul, and finally re-
fused to assist him to back to the
United States because he could not pro
duce proof that he was an American
citizen.
Knows Nothing of Parents.
The British consul, the lad says, Sc
cured him = chance to work his way to
New York, where he arrived few days
ago. He beat his way to Altoona on
freight trains, he says, and the authori-
ties at the latter place gave him trans
portation to Pittsburg. He hopes 20 be
given help here and at other points that
will take him to San Francisco. Wheth-
er he will find his parents there he does
not know. He has heard nothing from
them since the earthquake. Pittsburg
authorities will probably give him some
help.

In the vale Of sin and sorrow-
Go ahead.

Go ahead!
And when shot and shell are crashing
And wild stormy waves are lsshing
With lightning arrows fsshing-
Go ahead!
When the world reyiles and bstters-
Go ahead!
And you're torn to shreds and tatters-
Go ahead.
Raise your voice and keep on singing,
Still 60 soaring and 60 winging.
And with laughter loudly ringing
Go ahead.
When grim Death raps at your portal
Go ahead!
To claim all that is mortal
Go ahead.
Face the tyrant without quaking.
With a soul unused to shaking
Fly TO yon celestial waking
60 ahead.

"a Fire-Eating Populist. "

Among some of the things read by Mr..
Simmons were: such fire eating populst
as this Bryan should not be trusted at
the head of a great nation. His occu-
pancy Of the White House would mean
anarchy. disorder and ruination. His is
the flag of piracy and not democracy.
No good democrat should support him. y

as l have just read said Mr.. Simmons.

CATION
In eulogizing President Roosevelt, Mr..
Hayes said: Mr.. Roosevelt is the econo-
mist of the age. He has aided in the
development of the country more than any
other man. 1t has been through him thai
great lands have been irrigated and open
ed to cultivation. 1t was he who took
the initiative in preserving our natural
resources He has done all this and Judge
Taft is the one man who can continue
doing such things for the American
people
Judge Foote devoted his remarks to ex-
planning the unconstitutionality of Bryan 8
trust and tariff policy, declaring that for
the federal government to restrict the
manufacture of certain products within
state would mean confiscation and
would be in direct violation OF the Con-
stitution.

IL Mr.. Taft is not able to conduct his

The Vermont Idea for Savings
Banks.

The Ludlow Tribune thinks that the
idea Of Savings Banks keeping Vermont
money at home will appeal to Vermont
IT'S. In commenting on this particular
feature of the Lamoile County Savings
Bank aud Trust Company of Hyde Park,
it says
Last Thursday this bank passed the
million dollar mark in its assets-and
rot a single cent of it invested outside
Of Vermont. So distinctively Yer
mont flavor naturally appeals to the
taste of Vermonters, because smacks of
level-headed management and safety
which is quite assuring. Congratula-
tons are certainly in order.
Commencing January 1908 this Bank
will pay 4% compounded semi-annually
on all deposits large and small alike
will pay taxes Oh all sums up to $4,000
and will issue pass-hooks with no limits
as to times of withdrawal or other re-
strictions or limitations save those COM
mon to all Vermont Savings Banks.
Deposits made on or before February ID
will draw interest from January !. those
after February 10 from Aprill.
