peculiar little figure of a Russian

MAJOR v. v. TRASk
IN TROPICAL STORM
WAVES RAN SIXTY FEET HIGH
sUBMERGlNG LIFE BOATS ON
UPPER DECK.

Major W. w. Trask has returned
from Maine and New York, where
he spent the summer, leaving here
sun uy July 3, and returning We'd
nosday, November ?. If all the
wealth OF Rockefeller had been al
his command he could not have had
a better time, for the reason tnat
he was the guest of a wealthy Ne"
York boyhood friend, who extended
to him every courtesy that close
friendship could suggest ana tlat
money could purchase. Major IrasN
VIII give several a,ories concern
ing his trip from time to tine that
will be of general interest to the
readers.
Plans had been made for the Ma
ior 10 depart from New York on
the Brazos the 22nd of October, bat
this vessel encountered a storm and
was so baJly damaged that it could
not leave port. In fact the vessel
came very near being lost before
reaching New York harbor. SO he
became a passenger on the Nueces
steamship, which sailed from New
York at nine o'clock on the morning
OF the 25th. The steamer had a full
passenger list and was heavily load
ed with freight All went well un-
til that evening when the vessel
encountered the tropical storm which
did so much damage further south.
That evening and all that night the
ship rocked and heaved back and
forth. The waves rolled sixty feet
high and submerged the lifeboats
on the upper deck. The passengers
were panic stricken with fear, when
the waves receied it seemed thai
the vessel was sinking into the
depths Of the ocean. Twenty times

Trask, but this tropical storm was
the toughest sea ! have ever eX-
perienced and is the only sea that
made me sick. There was not
passenger on board that was not
so sick that they would have al
most been willing to die" After the
storm had passed there were two
days OF smooth sailing and Saturday
night a storm of almost the intensi
ty of the one encountered on the
first day out was run into. The sec
ond storm male nearly all the pas
sengers very sick, but Major Trask
escaped sea sickness. The Nueces
docked Tuesday morning at Gal,
weston.
Major Trask says of Galveston
that it is the most interesting city
in America and the courage of the
people of Galveston surpasses the
courage of the people of Frisco or
any other city in the United States.
At Galveston the Ardmore man was
taken in charge by a. w. Dunham,
agent for the Santa Fe, and was
driven all over the city. Four and
half miles of sea wall have been
built for the protection of the |
city at cost of three and a half /.
million dollars and now in addition |
to that huge task the city of Gal |
weston is raising the site of the city. |
Sand from the Bayou is being pump |
~ into the city, the water drains
yHay and leaves the sand. One-half !
of the buildings in the city have been
'aised all the way from seven to
welye feet.
The major is glad to be home
again. He is a close personal friend
o Judge C. NJ. Campbell, and will
assist in any way he can in Judge
Camphells race for congress.

and the shimmering golden paths are stretching across the water, widening into the distance until they seem to kiss the shining, golden crown of the sun, and you will believe there can be no grander scene on all the bays and locks of Flu rope.
 Across the Acushnet is a fine bridge of 1000 feet, connecting the city with the town of Fairhaven. We will take a boat and row up the Acushnet six miles to the city's reservoir, which has a capacity of 40o,0O0,OoO gallons of water. Going up the river we have from the opposite side a lovely view of New Bedford. Her handsome houses rise higher and higher up the sloping hills. Her towers and spires gleam among the beautiful green trees and shine with roseate hues in the sunlight. Above the mall, with it's cross of gold in grand relief against the sky, stands the great gray tower of the Cath ollie cathedral, strong and powerful em- blem of the church which has wielded her power Tn many lands from century to century. On our right is Fairhaven with slopes of gree and Queen Ann cottages nestling among New Englands wealth of flowers. Further on the blue waves break against great jagged rocks which line the shore.
 Coming back by moonlight we see the tall lighthouse gleaming like large bright star in the distance, we row under the bluffs of Fairhaven, by its old Fort Phenix, built during the Revolu- tionary war; but now only "sirt round with a gray, messy wall" her black mouthed guns dismantled, rust in the breath of peace.

 Here is the summer home of General Sheridan. who during the Civil war car ried out the order to devastate the beau tifuI valley of Virginia, so "that crow in flying over would have to carry his rations with him."

Our hostess sug- gested to her husband that theirs be taken down through courtesy to their southern guests. A Virginia girl, hearing the request and ignorant of naval signs, innocently exclaimed: Not on our ac- count: I assure you we would not be offended if you should fly them at full mast" which perhaps the reader knows is a sign of rejoicing.

You remember that 1t was at Paden Aram that Isaac and Ja- cob took unto themselves wives, though not In this struggling village, which wan ders everywhere "Over the hills and far away" Here long bridge centered by a drawbridge crosses a strip of the bay. Down by the waters margin we ride, sniffing the salt air, and watching on several points of the bay many white windmills whlrling In the wind as the process of salt-making goes on. We are told that a great deal of salt Is made here, the only place in Massachusetts where 1t Is made, We turn and cross the country, pass many small farms

Peach trees in full pink bloom, wild cherry with it's white feathery blossoms, border the stone walls along the smooth white road to give a highly picturesque aspect of coun- try.

The most delightful recreation of New Bedford Is yachting. One Of the finest yachts in northern waters is put at our disposal with this message: Take your wife and friends and go wherever you wish on a cruise"

Gay. tiny flags hutter in the breeze Sinking down on a soft chair. we admire the cozy seats and elegantly carpeted deck. She seems indeed the queen of yachts, and a de- lightfully lazy feeling takes possession Of us as we sail away. All cares have been left behind us we have turned our faces away and for the time are lulled into sweet, fancy day dreams as we sit in the ideal summer afternoon and watch the sails tack to the breeze.
 As we round the point an old gentle man sitting by my wife points out a fine fort, saying: That is Fort Taber built during the civil war to protect our city from Confederate cruisers. She was well manned. but the Confederate vessels never came near enough for her fire." He receives the reply: "Oh, I am sorry we sighted you; in our next war we will show you more courtesy" "No, mo-" he emphatically says. I've want no more wars" "As! As you were so anvious for the first, I thought perhaps you would like another" Anxious for the first?"

~ oME years ago, while sojourning in
 Massachusetts, I was often aston h< ished at the meagre knowledge dis played by number of New England peo- pie regarding the different sections of the south a4d frequently their questions along this line surprised me no little.
 But is this lack of knowledge Of our country confined to New Englanders? By no means. We read of the grandeur of Switzerland. thu beauty of Italy, Eng land. Scotland and all Europe. and often remain in utter ignorance of the charm of scenery in our own land outside, per- haps, the state or vicinity In which we live. Now, our newspaper writers may be able to remedy this lack of informa- ton somewhat, by occasionally giving glimpses of the places and their environs In which they have lived or sojourned for a while. If the reader agrees with me, we will go on little trip this morning to what was once an old whaling station, and take view of its surrounding coun- try The old whaling station is now the city of New Bedford, Mass, and Is prob ably the wealthiest and the most beauti- ful city of it's size In the United States. Perhaps the reader knows 1t Is port of entry situated on the end of a penin- sula between Buzzard's bay and the Acu- shnet river The mouth Of the river forms conmodous harbor.

 The root word Fer Is the central syllable of long string of words in the English dictionary, though it was ever so old, ages before English came
 into being. It had it's origin in the mists of the early morning of linguistic life, and in one form or another we find 1t

 down. In Greek it is spelt "pher.' and in the course of time we discover 1t in
