CROSSING THE OCEAN.
Queer Things That Happen On Allan
tic Liners.

Queer things continually happen
during a voyage" said a veteran purser
Of an Atlantic liner.
AS you are probably aware, almost
the cOmmonest occurrence during
voyage is the mysterious and sudden
disappearance of a passenger. Seven
times has this happened while | have
been following my profession, and in
no single instance have we been able
to satisfactorily account for the miss
we put put down to suicide, but 1 feel
bound to say that l think in some in
stances we have been wrong. Now,
here is a case in point. Six years ago
we had on board a young Australian,
a handsome we'll set up fellow, who
seemed to have more money than
would satisfy his wants and who told
'me himself that he was going to the
states to marry the prettiest and sweet
est girl in all Pennsylvania.
He was the brightest fellow on
board. sang we'll played well, was en-
pert at all kinds of sport and a general
favorite with every one. He had a
cabin on the lower deck. Il fine big
room, where | smoked many Il cigar
with him. Well. on the fifth day out
he didn't come on deck. People asked
where he was. and the general impress
sion seemed to be that he had been up
rather late the night. before and was
doubtless taking 4 few extra minutes
between the sheets. But about noon
the bedroom steward came to me and
stated that he couldn't get in No 81
the StaterOOm occupied by the popular
traveller No one could get any re-
sponse. so we sent for the carpenter.
The door was smashed in, and the
room was found To be empty. The
portfolios were wide open. and all we
could assume was that he had crept
out of one of these and met with a
watery grave Reason? We never dis
covered any. but my belief is that he
acted in his sleep. He was too happy
a man to take his own life.
"On another occasion two ladies, Sis
terS. disappeared. Both were charm
ing and pretty. though some OF the
passengers afterward remarked that

First HorseIess Carriage.

The first horseless carriage in Ohio
was first seen down in my town." said
c. A. Warren of Springfield, the other
day. Then" says Warren, lit went
TO Cleveland about ten years ago, and
we never heard any more of it, Have
you ever seen it up here? Flavius
Danforth was the inventor of this first
horseless carriage. He had a little
milk route, but as he didn't own a
horse, he hitched up his COW to two
wheeled cart. BY this arrangement
the COW was active in the departments
of both production and transporta-
ton, for he delivered milk direct from
the COW. There were no complaints
about unsanitary milk bottles on his
route. The customer would hand out
pitcher, and the old man would
milk the COW while the customer
waited.
After a while calf appeared, and
the customers had to divide with it.
But as soon as it got big enough it was
taken into full partnership in the
business, and was hitched up with
the mother I've often wondered
what ever became of this first horse
less carriage. The last heard of it,
it had gone to Cleveland. ."-Cleveland

Great Ocean Lines.

The oldest of the companies, the
Hamburg-American, was founded in
1S47, with a capital of about 100000,
writes F. L. McVey in the World of
Today. The company began business
with sailing packets, making trips be-
tween Hamburg and New York. 1t
was not until 1855 that the company
built two steamships in England,
there then being no German ship
yard able to construct a vessel of g.
600 tons Beginning with the year
1880 the company has built steam
shin after steamship until the ton
mage owned by this German corpora
ton is the largest in the world.
The beginnings of the second larg-
est company, the North German Lloyd,
are equally humble. In 1857 the
Lloyd started with three small steam
ships, plying between Bremen and
English ports. In the following year
the company established a regular
New York. using for the purpose
English built vessels. In 1859 the
governments of the United States and
England entrusted the mails to the
company, which materially increased
it's business and prestige. Beginning
with the year 1878 the company has
built fast steamships, which have
been so successful that it continues to
carry the mail Of foreign govern
ments and has been given the Ger
man mails for transportation. The
company now has 81 steamship lines
to all parts of the world. More re-
markable than the growth of the two
companies is the fact that neither one
has received subsidies from the gov
ernment, though they have been paid
for postal services.

MAKING Haste.

1t was just fifteen minutes before
the train time, and the Big Four con-
ductor discovered that he had left his
watch up at the little hotel where he
lives.
Now, q conductor without a time
piece is like an actress without a
woolly dog. He had to have the
watch. In a minute he had the hotel
on the phone, and offered the colored
bellboy 81 if he would get the watch
to him before the train started.
The bellboy broke into a gallop af-
ter the watch and then down toward
the station. He was going to earn
that dollar if the speed ordinances
would do any good. He didn't even
wait to trust the chronometer into his
pocket, but raced down the street
with the chain dangling from his
hand. Yes, cop saw him. The cop
chased him, but the bellboy was one
of those fleet ones. Still another cop
joined in; also six or seven men, a
number Of small boys, and a dog. The
bellboy's pursuers were almost upon
him when he handed the timepiece
through the iron fence to the conduc-
tor and took the crumpled dollar the
conductor mad for him.
The cullud boys explanation went
with the cops after they had accom-
panied him back to the hotel, but it
was three hours before his respiration
and perspiratiOn became normal
again.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
