only few inches left above. T/n
wheel is in the bulkhead and in the
open a few feet from the door which
leads into the cabin.
Down inside the boat it Is roomy
and warm, the cabin being heated by
gas and is a cozy place for those who
are travelling.
The trip as explained by Mr.. Lee
this morning was for the purpose Of
demonstrating the superior points Of
the famous Claus engine. The boat
| will proceed to the gulf, where going
around Florida she will proceed up
/ the coast by way of bays and inlets
| ST. Lawrence river and enter the
J Great Lakes and be home some time
in May as was stated this morning,
| if nothing unforeseen happens.
The boats propeller was stolen in
transportation from Detroit to Daven-
port and the party was delayed for
three weeks while new one was
cast.
With the party is Mr.. Claus of the

4 and other places along the river have
had the pleasure of ride in this
beauty of a boat, with Mr.. Claus as
demonstration Besides Messrs. Claus
and Lesinki are Messrs. A. William
son and ]. S. Claus.
I Many have predicted that a lake
boat could not go down the Mississip
pi and so the trip will be as much OF
i a nautical as we'll as a mechanical eX
pertinent.
The Sule Edna.
A house boat with a stern whee
attached and driven by gasoline motor
power was tied up at the local whar
this morning and is on its way dow1

have much pleasure during the win
ter months in southern waters as it i
the intention of the party to go dow
as far as Memphis and the boat whicl
probably be unable to return unde
her own power will return in tn

swear for no particular orapparent
purpose.
cit is wonderful how rapidly an
evil habit fastens 9 itself upon a
careless victim. 1t, isformed I'm a
consciously and works for itself
groove in a mans daily affairs
along which it glides easily and
unostentatiously. By and by the
victim realizes that the evil habit
has him by the throat. He dete
mines to shake it off butfinds that
it isn'tan easy task. The chances
are that in the end the habit wins
the contest, and the desire to mas
ter it is entirely lost.
"And of all habits, that OF
swearing is the most insidious and
the most tenacious, once it has
wound its tentacles around its
victim. The latter is usually a
young man. He first swears be-
cause he hears others swear. 1t
sounds big. 1t is supposed togive
the world notice that the swearer
has cut loose from mothers apron
strings and graduated into the in
dependent class. 1t usually comes
along with long pants, the first
down on the upper lip and the
first pipe Or package of cigarettes.
Within less than a years time it
can transform a young man of
clean speech into one of the most
disgusting spectacles to be met in
city, town or ssla' 'se--a creature
