over In Illinois when ! was boy"
said a congressman from the state to
a reporter. there was a lawyer named
Hathaway. who lived in my native
town and who had something the mat
ter with his eyes. / think the doctors
said his lachrymal glands were weak.
Anyway, he was always wiping his
eyes. Sometimes It was amusing In
court to see him bring out his big red
bandanna and wipe his eyes when he
was talking to the court upon some
dry legal proposition. You know you
rather expect lawyer TO do It before
a jury In criminal practice. Well. they
used to tell this story on Hathaway:
One day a woman came into his Office
to consult with him regarding the be-
ginning Of suit for divorce from her
husband. She related how she had
been abused and told n story Of suffer
Ing. Just at this point Hathaway
reached for his handkerchief and wiped
his eyes. His client. who was OF a
sympathetic nature. sought TO stay his
arm and said:
Don't cry. Mr Hathaway; don't
cry
Hathaway was sensitive regarding
bis infrmity. but he always laughed
heartily when the story was told IN his
presence. "-Washington Star.

AN OLD SALEM sTRATEGIST.
The Cruise Of the Rajah and a Corner
In Wild Pepper.

~ WILD Pepper.
Evidently Americans were hustlers
and strategists OF commerce from the
beginning, for witness a good story OF
fact as told by Ralph D. Paine in the
Outing Magazine:
"In 1928 Captain Jonathan Carnes Of
Salem was looking for trade along the
Sumatra coast Touching at the port
OF Bencoolen, he happened to learn
that wild pepper might be found along
the northwest coast Of Sumatra. The
Dutch East India company was not as
alert as this solitary Yankee shipmas-
ter roaming along strange and hostile
coasts
Captain Carnes kept his knowledge
to himself. completed his voyage 10 Sa-
lem and there whispered II to a nler-
chant. Jonathan Peele. that az soon as
possible a secret pepper expedition
should be fitted out Mr. Peele order
ed fast schooner built She was cali
ed the Rajah and carried four guns
and ten men. There was much gossip
Ing speculation about her destination.
but Captain Carnes had nothing at all
to say. In November. 1895, he cleared
for Sumatra. and not soul In Salem

For eighteen months no word re-
turned from the RaJah and her mys-
terious quest. Captain Carnes might
have been wrecked on coasts whereof
he had no charts. or be might have
been slain by hostile natives. but Jon

Salem merchants were wont TO do.
busted himself with other affairs and
pinned his faith to the proved sagacity
and pluck OF Jonathan Carnes.
eat last a string OF signal fiags out
tered from station at the harbor
mouth. Jonathan Peele reached for
his spyglass and saw a schooner's top
sails lifting from seward. The Rajah
had come home, and when she let 20
her anchor In Salem harbor Captain
Jonathan Oarnes brought word ashore
that he had secured a cargo OF Wild
pepper In bulk which would return

total cost OF vessel and voyage.

There was great excitement among
the other Salem merchants. They for

had nothing to say. and Jonathan
Peele was as dumb as a Salem harbor

Almost all the difficulties we had at Wood

She it was who carried incautious words,
and exaggerated their meaning to fit her own
intentions; she it was who always "acciden-

pairing, thereby causing it to fall fiat on per
Torrance.
She was always getting some one into trou-
