CANARY BIRD EGGS OF SOAP
Wise Man Of Ship Crew Admits the
Joke at Last.

New York.-The library steward OF
the White Star liner Republic prides
himself on being too wise for prac-
tical jokes, but on a recent trip his
shipmates entered into a conspiracy
to make him victim and the chance
came at Palermo, where the librarian
bought some canaries.
The plotters placed a sugar-coated
almond in the cage and the steward
was delighted. thinking it an egg. This
made the jokers keener to keep up the
fun. After leaving Palermo no more
almonds were to be had, but the ships
barber shaped eggs out Of soap and
one each day was placed in the cage
until four appeared to have been laid.
The librarian installed an electric
heater in his berth to keep them at
the right temperature. Looking into
the nest a few mornings later he
found the cock canary eating
sugar and almond. His astonishment
was great when he cut into the other
eggs and found them of soap.
The stan and even the passengers
had been waiting for the denouement.
He who had always been proof against
tricks finally laughed with the rest
and admitted that he had "got his" s4

chicagoan Surprises New Jersey Man
Whose Father Aided Him,

New York.-William Davis of Jer-
sey City received a call the other day
from an old man who introduced him
self as James OIeary of Chicago. Mr..
O'Leary said that when he came to
this country from Ireland so years ago
Mr.. Davis father, now dead, had lent
him $25 to pay his way from Jersey
City to Pittsburg. telling him to pay
1t back when he could spare the
money
Mr.. OLeary said he served in the
civil war. after which he drifted about
The west with varying fortune until
1890. when he went to Chicago and
with 500 he had saved opened a fruit
stand. From that time he prospered
and he is now comparatively wealthy.

pricked him for not repaying the loan
and he came to Jersey City to look for
Mr.. Davis, only to learn that he was
dead. but had left a son, whom he
succeeded in locating after long
search.
William Davis, after satisfying him.
self that it was his father who had
lent the money, accepted the $25. but
declined Mr.. OLearys offer to pay
interest. Mr.. O'Leary said he would

ODD CREW HANDLES SHIP.
Mixed Talent Signed as Sailors on
Bark from San Pedro.

Tacoma. Wash.-In mixed crew
which brought the four-masted Brit
,sh bark Howard D. Troop to Tacoma,
Capt Durkee found an amazing array
OF talent On his articles he has
stenographers, musicians. restaurant
keepers, and, in fact, many other an
cient and honorable professions and
occupations represented. In looking
over the men he secured at San
Pedro Capt Durkee found collection
of genius that would be hard to
beat. Every kind of talent was there
but the kind he wanted. The Nova
Scotia master asked for sailors. and
out Of IA new hands there was but
one who had actual experience at sea.
During the seven weeks that the
four-master lay at San Pedro discharg-
ing she naturally lost the majority of
her crew, and when the vessel was
ready to sail for Tacoma in ballast it
was necessary to sign IA new men.
Real sailors were scarce, but there
were many willing young fellows who
wanted to try for experience.
In flying fish weather the new hands
were all right for sweeping down
decks and lighting the pinnacle. but
even at that the real seamen had prac-
tically all the work to do. But when
the weather was more threatening
the green hands were next to useless
for going aloft, furling sails, or steer
ing full and by" II the weather had
been at all heavy, Capt Derkee says
he does not know what he would have
done with his crew Of novitiates, and
he considers his trip up the coast re-
markable under the circumstances.
