but in reality he was trying hard to

He said he resembled man who

watch his progress from the window
From the window with a field
glass the friend saw the swimmer
reach the bouy in due course, draw
himself up out of the water and sit
down comfortably, with his legs dang
ling over. So far, SO good. Evidently
he was resting. well pleased with his

the swimmer sat in the same posi-

IAN hour or two went by-still the
swimmer remained. A white, slim
figure seen against the oncoming
dark, he sat on the bouy's edge; his
feet daEgled in the sea; he seemed to
be musng.
Finally it began to grow quite
dark and, thoroughly alarmed at last,
the watcher got a bot and couple OF
bargees and rowed out to his friend.

explained. The man was stuck fast
to the bouy, which had been freshly

WHlrTIER's SIMPLE LIFE.
(Washington TimesA


If Whittier had cared for money or
society he could have had his own
way in Boston; but he preferred the
simple life to be found out of town.
What he might have regarded as a
state of wealth did not oyertake him
until his sixtieth year, when he re-
ceived $4,000 for the first edition of
'Snowbound;" and It was ten years
later before he yielded to the wish of
Bostonians to do him honor Thirty
years ago last Tuesday he went to
Boston TO he the guest of honor at
dinner party given by the publishers
of the Atlantic Monthly: hut we are
told he came reluctantly.
Here was . man born and reared in
hard circumstances; who made slip
pers at a profit of cents pair while
he enjoyed his brief term at Haver-
hill Academy; who had little liking
for social or academic pursuits, who
spent most of his time away from the
so-called literary centers, and yet who
lived to enjoy such fame as has come
10 not more than dozen other New
EDglanders. The secret of his rare
success is not hard to find He was
the poet and evangel of great liberal
era. 1t was his principles as much as
his verses that made Whittier famous
and influential.

FATHER o'RYAN ON SOCIALISM.

In the funeral sermon preached by
Father O'Ryan over the remains oil
Leo, the murdered priest, he said:
And hence the whole foul breed OF
them the Socialist who breaches and
the anarchist who translates the ser
mon into red deeds, come here hating
the church and the priesthood. Here
they learn to hate all other things that
are consecrated to US, the power Of
our president, the wisdom OF our sen.
ates, the majesty Of our courts and
the quiet dignity of our homes.
Great God. brethren. what are we
doing? OF what are we thinking? A
great president of our country is slain
by q degenerate who was nerved TO
the deed by Socialist and anarchist
yaporings. We read that anarchy has
its seat in New Jersey; that she sits
in council in New Orleans. or Chicago.
They have u propaganda, red press.
An Appeal to Reason forsooth; we
are made aware that some OF them
come here from southern and eastern
Europe in every shipload. and with su-
pine Indifference we look on. Have
we found the pearl beyond that price
that we may roll it in the dust like
child's plaything? Have We grown
so cold in our love toward the fair
vestal. Liberty. that We feel no indis
nation when the ruffian and the
stranger treat her as II she were the
harlot of the public placer"

COLORADO STATE BANK,

The Herald publishes quite a
relative to the affairs of the Colorado
State bank, and matters are presented
that certainly require consideration.
The Herald comedies that this petty
spite and pickering is working an in
justice to creditors of the institution
and we would urge that all get to-
gether and have an amicable settle
ment. It can be accomplished just as
easy as falling off a log II right spir
it is shown. The Herald Is bent on
seeing depositors realize dollar for
dollar and we know this Will be the
case If the get-together spirit prevails
Get this matter settled and small de-
positors will he able to get credit at
the rate of dollar for dollar for gro
ceries and supplies, Then they can
use present earnings for other pur-
poses or savings. And large depos-
itors will receive per cent interest
and those who cannot AFFORD to wait
"A year or two will be able to make
satisfactory deals for money.
In regard TO the reference to Mr.
Galbreath being retained by Mr..
Boyle, since Mr.. Galbreath made the
statement in his paper that he was
hired to go to the deposiiors' meeting
and present objections to the pro-
posed agreement, we have granted
him the perfect right to sell his SER
vices. He has just as good right to
Messrs. Ritter G. Buchanan have to
take the opposite side. and The Her
aid has no objection to Mr.. Galbreath
being employed by Mr.. Boyle If it is
necessary to employ counsel-in fact,
we are glad Of II. But It means ex-
pense for the deposltors Just the same.
And the expense does not stop here.
1t means expense for the bank offic-
ials as they in turn will have to pay
out thousands of dollars in attorneys
fees that the deposltors might just as
well have. The Herald made the
statement some weeks ago that in the
course of five years the lawyers OF Du-
range will reap benefits to the extent
of s25. 900 out of the busted banks.
The lawyers are the ones to reap 4
harvest when other people get into

right to appear for Mr.. Boyle as the

DANGERS OF MAGELLAN.
Baltimore SUM

The Straits OF Magellan are deep
and in places narrow cha1lel, separ-
ating continental South America from
the great island of TERRA del Fuego.
OFF the southern coast of TERRA del
Fuego is a group of small islands,
from the sonthernmost of which pro
jects Cape Horn. The Straits OF Ma
gellan lie entirely within Chilean ter
ritory, and their length, following a
tortuous course, is about 300 miles.
From Cape Virgins, the eastern en-
trance. to Sandy Point, the distance is
about 100 miles. This portion of the
straits is broad and affords anchor
age and the navigation is not diff
cult. But from Sandy Point to the Pa
cific the channel is mostly narrow,
crooked, and the water generally of
such enormous depth that ship can
not anchor, and the passage must be
made between dawn and dark of sin
gle day. The latitude of the straits
corresponds with that OF southern
Labrador and the southern extremity
OF Alaska. 1t is near midsummer
there at the present time, and the sun
rises at this season about 4:3O and
sets about o'clock, giving long
