goods, can do so by calling on Roys half way between Mill River and Clayton. You are requested to call soon while tho supply lasts though only one pocket has as yet been treated from. AS to the three years service i'll the army, we would reduce that to nine months. About the man who was shot i'll the back, would only inquire where was MT. Durham at that time and where was his man shot? Was it the bullets or draft that he was trying to dodge :? MT. Roys never pretended to be much of a marksman but he occasionally makes a stray shot that causes his game to flutter. As to MT. Roys' present fight
 ing qualities compared with the past, he has nothing to say only that he never was very quarrelsome, but always con- sidered very good runner. With these feeble explanations We rest till further explorations take place and the old friends Roys and Durham shall again meet to talk over their boyhood days and replenish the overcoat pockets with the pure stuff, such as people complain is so hard to find in other places.

HADSELL STREET

In reply to your Sheffield correspond says he Is reminded of the oath given to witnesses that are about to take the stand. They are to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The truth partly told may pan>out in its effects no better than Q falsehood. For instance Prospecting through
 Berkshire,' should have read, "Pros- pecting ill Berkshire,'' since he actu- ally drove only from Hadsell Street to the south part of the village of Great Harrington. His pockets were filled i'll Mir. Dunham's store. MT. Dunham re- -quested MT. Roys to not taste the goods till on his way home. Supposing that MT. Durham had no license was the reason for such precaution. Mir. Roys was keeping the whole matter profound secret not even letting his wife know 8 thing about it until THE NEWS came. Then she read aloud before several who chanced to be in, the account of her husbands travels. The only safe way out of the woods was to bring on the pocket companion and give all present a treat All pronounced 1t "the pure stuff" MT. Roys would not have given MT. Dunham away but in order that the blame be not laid at the wrong door (some saloon or drugstore in the village of Great BarringtOn) thought 1t best to
 say just where the pockets were filled, We hope there will be no arrest made since Mir. Durham took no pay. Per haps 1t would not be out of place to say that ii any one wishes to sample tbe

MILLER SALVAGE co. SUPPLIED
CAPTAIN PEITsMEIR WITH THE
CHAIN AND ANCHORS.

The German ship Nordsee, Captain
Peitsmeir, will sail for Taltal in day
or so She will receive orders at raj
tai and will probably proceed thence
to Europe. wsWI
The two anchors and chain which
were lost when the vessel went adrlft,
have been replaced here, having been
purchased from the Miller Salvage Co.
The bill of costs for the anchors, 25O
fathoms of chain and necessary repairs
Will amount to about 81 200.
Captain Peitsmeir is making his first
trip to Hawaii and likes the place
WELL despite his unpleasant experience
off shore. Speaking of the going
adrift of the vessel, yesterday, the cap
tain said:
I'VE were anchored safely in eighteen
fathoms of water when 1 left the ship
sixty raLnoms of chain on the star
beard anchor. Then it started to blow
and the mate dropped the second an
Choir. There were ninety fathoms OF
chain on one anchor and eighty-tive
on the other but that wasn't enough
to hold her and she went adrift-
did the best could for tse owners and
the company but nothing could be done
until the anchors were got up.
The Nordsee was built in Germany
in 1898, her home port being Hamburg.
Captain Peitsmeir has had her since
March of 1906.
The captain, who is a man or splen-
did the best could for the owners and
an expert Graeco-Roman wrestler and
has won many competitions under
these rules. He finds that knowl
edge of wrestling is a great help to him
in dealing with unruly seamen which,
az times, it falls to the lot OF every
master to encounter.
The captains cabin on the Nordsee
is most comfortably fitted up, and pos
sesses all the proverbial comforts OF
home, including a large photograph.
Here and there are scattered curios OF
many lands which Captain Peitsmeir
distributes among his friends with
liberal hand and takes much pleasure
in so doing.
Captain Peitsmeir has made many
friends during his stay in port and the
mishap met with by the Nordsee was
a matter of general and genuine regret
along the waterfront.

The week has been an unusual one
In the cgg market AT time of the
year when always heretofore prices
have shown downward trend, tho
course has been upward, and dealers
looked for a general cleanup al the
