story, like ali good ones. did leak
out finally. For several weeks in
the winter Chief Wood has had the
fremen busy during idle hours maxi
ing farming implements for the city
farm. One of the pleasant days last
week Chief Wood decided he would
visit the farm and see II the ground
were in condition for work and test
a plow. So, with Mr.. Macpherson,
they drove to the corn field.
The ground appeared in excellent
condition, and "Skeeter," % years
old, and who has served his days Of
usefulness in the department, with
another horse over 20 years old were
hitched to the large pillow. Chief
Wood, who tips the scales at some
thing over 300 pounds, essayed TO do
the driving, while Mr. MACPHERSON,
whose weight is not far from 140
pounds, agreed to hold the point OF
the pillow into the ground.
The horses remained still. but
when Chief Wood began driving the
two old horses started almost IN a
gallop, for when in the department
they always started in a run. Finally
the horses settled down to steady,
work, and Chief Wood
and Mr.. Macpherson were congratu-
lating themselves on how straight a
furrow they could plow. Several
trips up and down the field and the
clods were flying lively, when sud-
denly the plow struck a root and
stopped with a jolt. Chief Wood
with his weight remained on earth,
but friends assert that Mr. MacPher-
SON went flying through the air like
a bird. After a flight that would do
credit to an airship he descended in
a furrow and then crawled out from
the fresh dirt like a mole. The plow-
ing was discontinued and the two
hremen are reticent on the subject
since the event.

"Have you yet to learn that, with

"Don't you feel that it is the most

those geniusesl And they can be

DIRIGO SAILORS
KICK ON GRUB

Commissioner Almy's Office down on
the waterfront looked like a first class
bank yesterday afternoon, for there was
$4,000 in glittering gold and silver
pieces scattered over one of the tables,
all of which was there to be paid out
to sailors of the American ship Dirigo,
Captain Goodwin, which arrived Satur.
day evening from long and eventful
trip around Cape Horn. But though he
was perfectly willing SO to do, Banker
Almy did not get rid of all the cash
he had in stock, for the foe 'sle hands
of the aforesaid windjammer had very
large bone to pick with the skipper OF
the Dirigo, and refused TO accept any
of the money due them until their
grievances were disposed of.
But Captain Goodwin did not appear
on the scene, and, as consequence,
there will be things doing this morning
| when Arbitrator Almy attempts to set
| tie the dispute between master and men.

again. The deep water sailors say that

And these fellows were paid But the
rest are waiting for their little seance
with the skipper this morning. They
have, according to the tales they tell,
grievances enough, to be sure, as has
every sailor coming in from a seven
months cruise according to his own
tale). And the probabilities are that
some of their kicks will be sustained.
These will cash in three or four dollars,
mayhap, to each man.
The ones who were paid yesterday
were Immediately surrounded by the
usual bunch of waterfront hangers on.
The pake tailor, the laundryman, the
waterfront storekeeper-all of them
were there to offer unlimited credit to
we jolly Jack sailor. And in the little
alleys and on the street corners there
were small gatherings, the tailor dis

cloth from which he made suits, and 81
on and so on.
There were twenty-five men befor,

number signed on the ship at Ri'

their pay yesterday afternoon will pre-
sent their grievances to the shippinl
commissioner this morning. Captain
Goodwin will give his side of the ques
tion also, and, as is usual, things will
be arbitrated by Almy.
