| Ciu steamboat Days on the
Great Father OF Waters Mere
Crowded With Romance. Aye,
Steamboat men of the old days
we're regarded with envy by the lands
men of river towns, and rated In pro-
portion to the Importance and grand
eur Of the boat on which they ran,
says Raymond Lee Hill in The Travel
Magazine. A proud thing 1t was for
chap to be employed on such steam
ers as the Grand Turk, the Alex. Scott
or the Robert q. Lee, especially for
the negro BARRIERS and deckhands.
Mark Twain tells Of husky darky
who with his pompous airs kept Of.
Tending the guests at a colored hall
In New Orleans until finally one of
the managers approached him and
demanded:
Who is you, anyway? Who is
you? OATS what wants to know"
who is II" retorted the latter, in
nowise discounted, and bristling with
importance "Who is I? let you
know mighty quick who / isl want
You niggers to understan' dat fires
de middle do on de Aleck Scott"
On another occasion the daughter
Of middle-aged negro woman was
following the usual custom of her
colored misunderstanding a twilight
iiirtation-when her mother stuck
her head through broken window
pane and called out in proud voice,
loud enough for all her neighbors to
hear:
You Mary Ann, come in de house
dis minute! Stannin' out dab foolin'
long wild dat low trash, an heah's
de barber off'n de Gran Turk wants
to converse wild you!"
Pilots at this time were Of special
consequence Every courtesy was
shown them by captains and crews,
and extreme Difference by the negro
BARRIERS, walters and roustabouts.
Their wages were high. AS a general
rule, the scale was about $500 per
month, but during the flush Kansas
trade on the Missouri River, good
pilot received as much as $500 trip,
which amounted to $500 a month.
But a pilot only mastered his trade
after long experience and close appli-
cation. And he had to be we'll versed
In his vocation, for in those days
there were no snag and dredge boats,
beacon lamps, or powerful search
lights to play ahead of the vessel.
The pilot must have a mental map Of
the river, remembering the location
of every snag, sand bar, shallow and
other danger, not only on clear days
and nights, but also in the darkness,
fog, sleet and snow. No danger must
be considered. In fact many of the
steamboat disasters we're due to sheer
foolhardiness.

The chief Crime.

The minister's class at the Kirk
of Tobermory he'd been reading the
story Of Joseph and his brethren, and
the minister was asking the boys a
few questions in review Their re-
plies had all been quick, concise and
correct, such as:
what great crime did these sons
OF Jacob commit"
"They sold their brother Joseph"
gQuite correct. And for how much
did they sell him?"
Twenty pieces of silver"
"And what added to the cruelty and
wickedness OF these brothers? A
pause. What made their treachery
even more detestable and heinous?"
Then a bright little Highlander
stretched out an eager hand.

extremities and spread for two years

Ordinary air is BY no means air

Of present day science is to learn
more about them. that the rayages
