A STEAMER SMOKING
ROOM STORY.

In the smoking room Of an ocean
finer they were telling stories Of dis
appearances at sea- This is one Of
them by an elderly American gentle
man:
Il was crossing from Southampton
to New York We had among the pas
sengers a jolly devil may care young
Englishman named Trevor, who was
the life Of the ship. He was especially
q favorite with the ladies, though he
seemed to prefer the society of men,
spending a lot Of time in the smoking
room.
There was a middle aged passenger
aboard, with a wife twenty years his
junior. We hadn't been out three days
before the young wife was daft about
Trevor and the husband green with
jealousy. Then there was an old maid
who would sit moping on deck till
Trevor appeared when she would Ian
guish till he Joined her and look mex.
pressibly happy If he did so for even
a few minutes. And so | could go on
mentioning various women, all OF
whom were more or less affected.
Trevor singled me out for his principal
companion, and we used to sit in his
stateroom by the hour chatting and
smoking. On one occasion / rallied
him on the preference shown him by
the young married woman.
Zone morning after the breakfast
hour we missed Trevor In the smok-
ing room. AT noon steward came to
me as Trevor's most intimate assoc
ciate and told me that my friends
room was locked and no amount OF
knocking could elicit reply. The
ships carpenter was called. went
with him, and he forced the door.
The room was empty.
seThere could have been no means of
egress for the occupant except the port
holes. 1t seemed to me that he would
have had difficulty in getting through
one of them, but there is no knowing
what one may accomplish in crawling
through small space, especially if given
abnormal strength by insanity, though
some thought Trevor had crawled out
in his sleep
eve were a dull company for the
rest of the voyage. The young wife
didn't attempt to conceal her emotion,
and her husband looked as If he would
have liked to help Trevor make way
with himself. Some of the men even
limited that the husband had something
TO do with Treyor's disappearance, but
this supposition did not gain favor
with the rest Indeed, 1t was absurd
on its face.
1--WE reached New York without the
temperance Of the favorite or solu-
ton Of the problem. The purser broke
open Trevor's trunk in the hope OF
learning more of his identity than his
mere name, but the information was
not forthcoming. So the case was set
down as one of those mysterious disap-
pearances that are never to be ex-
planned.
Now comes one of the strangest
happenings of all my life. Talk OF CO.
incidences, I never have heard or read
OF anything to beat what I'm going to
tell You. Three years later went from
my home in Connecticut to the Pacific
coast partly on business and partly to

RESCUING PARTY SAVES BOY.
Thrilling Escape Of John Matthews from
Raritan River Flood.

John Matthews, the 7-year- old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Matthews,
formerly of Lahaska, had thrilling
escape from drowning among ice foes
in the turbulent South Branch of the
Raritan River, near Pennington, N.
j., on Friday night. As young Mat
thews. Harvey Marshall and Freder-
lex Rowe, the last two being employees
OF the boys father. approached the
river bridge at Packers iisland, on
their way to Pennington. the heavy
ice in the river gave way and the
wagon in which they were riding sank
in the flood swollen waters. Rowe
swan ashore and Marshall finally
succeeded in reaching land, leaving
the boy in the carriage, which every
instant huge cakes of ice threatened
to overturn.
For hours rescuing party tried in
vain to reach the carriage. AS fast as
boats put ont from shore they were
swept below the carriage by the ice.
At 8 O'Clock the boy was heard to
call to the plunging horses, and then
nothing could be heard above the roar
of the torrent. An hour later Harvey
Marshall succeeded in reaching the
wagon and taking the boy off. Young
Matthews, worn out by his terrible
ordeal, had wrapped himself in a
blanket and fallen asleep. One horse
was drowned and the other was
rescued.

FAIR PLAY.
New Jersey Sportsmen Should Not Hog
the Game.

1t Is hard to believe that any man
in New Jersey CHASING himself as a
sportsman-be he the dude hunter
with thousand. dollar gun and clothes
costing enough to keep the average
family for year, or the man who
guides him does not want to play
fair. Not one of these will pot" a
duck on the water, or "bunch" a
coyey of quail on the ground, or
shoot grouse out of tree, or rab-
bit out OF its nest.
Men who go afield with gun and
dogs and decoys are generally good
fellows-courteous, polite and gener-
GUS. There is seldom dispute over
IA shot or any attempt to "hog" the
game in any way. These men would
rather be caught cheating at cards
than to be told they were not sports
| men.
Is it fair for us in New Jersey to
permit Winter and Spring shooting of
wild fowl, when New York, Connec-
ticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
Maine, New Hampshire. Vermont and
Canada have stopped it?
Most of our migratory wild fowl and
migratory game birds breed in Can
ada. Suppose the Canadians should
say: you men in the States kill these
birds coming and going. You do not
protect them Tor one instant while
they are with you. We breed them
and raise them, and we are going to
see to it that none pass over your
States" and then start in to kill aud
keep on killing while there was duck
in the Provinces. How long would
the ducks last?
The birds breed in Canada and they
leave early, 80 that the Canadian
shooting season, beginning Septem-
Der LIST, is much shorter than ours.
Again. the men living on the cast
of New Jersey say that sportsmen in
the interior of the State are against
them; that they have no ducks or
other migratory game birds. They
overlook these facts; that four of our
best species of ducks prefer fresh
water, and that all four of these ducks
will breed in the fresh water lakes,
ponds and marshes of the State; and
that If protected while the fresh waters
of the State are frozen, and on the
return of the birds in the early
Spring, we shall breed and raise more
wild ducks in this State every year
than are now killed during the same
time. There is the best of scientific
authority for the above statement.
Sixty Black Duck and Mallards
were Matched and raised from the de-
coy stock last year at the Troy Mea-
dow Clubs preserve, within ten miles
of Newark and Paterson, the two
largest cities in the State.
Again, it should be source of
pride to the sportsmen that over nine
ty per cent. of the game protective
laws of the United States have been
the work of sportsmen. The market
hunter and the ''pot" hunter have al
ways been the DIRECTORS.
II we will only be wise in our day
and generation, we shall again see
our waters and marshes TEEN with
wild fowl, and shall pass duck shoot.
ing on to our grandchildren, instead
OF being compelled to tell them about
the wild fowl as our fathers tell us
about the wild pigeon.
