from thirst. Thrice their boat filed,
but they baled it out again. After a
storm they wrung their clothes for a
few drops of moisture to quench thei,
thirst.
When the Hotham Newton, from.
Middlesborough, picked them up, they
were so weak that they fell down on
the deck Of the tanker. 1t was two
days before they could tell their sensa
tional story.
Eight days they had been in the
boat. They had been four days with
out fresh water and five without food.
They had sailed 800 miles in the life
boat and were found in 48.15 and 2O.41.
The hardest thing of all was to see a
big steamship pass close by and not
notice their tiny lantern. They almos
gave up hope Of being rescued after
this disheartening event, and when
they were picked up at last they wera
in the very depths Of despair.

The weight Of water dragged her

almost awash. 1t did no good to pump

They stuck to her to the last. when
with the wind blowing with hurricane
force her decks burst open, the cabin
washed away and the stern broke off
and dropped into the sea.
There was barely time to stock the
two boats with a limited supply of
food and fresh water. Their position
was then 47.32 north and 4O.17 west.

Kneeling in the center of the track,
with her hands uplifted in prayer,
Mrs. Henry C. Boehme Of Orange,
N. j., calmly awaited the certain
death which overlook her two minutes
later when a Lackawanna railroad
train ran her down.
Mrs. Boehme was only twenty-three
years old. Since the birth of a son
three months ago her reason has been
unsettled. and she has been almost
constantly watched. She managed to
elude surveillance and started for New
York. it is believed.
Shortly before noon, as a Lacka-
wanna train was approaching the
Roseville station, bound for Jersey
City, Engineer Losaw saw Il woman
scrambling down the embankment to-
ward the roadbed. She was richly
dressed, and the engineer had no hint
of her purpose until, with the train
within 200 feet Of her, the woman
stepped into the center Of the track

There was no time for the engineer
to stop. He closed the throttle of the
engine, reversed the lever and damned
down the brakes. AS he closed his
eyes in horror he had a vision Of a
pretty face, about which the wind was
tossing a mass of brown hair, smiling
at the approaching engine.
When the train was finally brought
to a %standstill it was found that the
victim had been MORALLY hurt, al
though almost miraculously her face
had not received a scratch. DR.. George
Herbert Taylor, n of the passengers
on the train, recognized the woman

recently attended and gave her name
and address to the authorities.
She was unconscious when found,

was notified Immediately, and the I'M
fortunate woman's body was removed
to her late home in Orange.

Seven Survivors Rescued Almost Dead.

Burst asunder by her cargo Of wood
pulp, which swelled more and more as
the ship filed with water, the Nor

years old, went down in mid-Atlantic,
killing her captain, J. Johannesen, who
was struck on the head by the mizzen

Seven survivors Of her crew of six

Hotham Newton, a tank steamer. They

ILLUSIONS.
By DUNCAN N. SMITH

A PLEASANT pathway winds about
A The rivers grassy edges.
And sunbeams flicker in and out
Among the shallow sedges.
But snakes as large as walnut trees
Dispute with people hard to please.
Within a COO and deep ravine,
With blossoms bright for trimming,
A brooklet threads it's way along
And fishes go a-swimming,
But the mosquito there delights
To eat a stranger in three bites.
There is a stream that runs away
Through meadows low and sunny.
To fish upon it's banks all day
Might well be worth your money,
But much it tempers the delight
That no one ever gets a bite.
But that's the way it always goes,
AS sure as you're a sinner.
The best way is to just suppose
Your failure is a winner.
Mosquitoes, snakes and absent fish
Ignore and play you had your wish.
