The boat couldn't lie alongside of the derelict, as the seas were tremenduous and for time 1t was thought that the boat would have to turn back to the cutter. Abra- hanson said he would try to jump from the boat to the keel of the derelict and a minute afterwards leaped and landed on the bottom of the ill-fated schoone, where he was fortunate enough to get good hold on the keel. He made a cleat and quickly dashed himself to the hulk. If was three hours before the carpenter finished his work. The seas continued to break over him and numbers of times he was lost from view as the derelict rose and fell in the trough of the sea. He remained there until he had finished his work.

Rain on the Roof

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 A Detroit man who recently went to Washington and had to put up' while there, at a hotel complained that he had. after an exhaustive search, been unable to find any hostelry where he might, when he retired at night, hear the sooth- ing sound of raindrops on the roof.
 Washington Is not alone to blame for her failure to provide the solace and the soothing influence that comes with the sound of raindrops on the roof. This neg feet is widespread. Where may the stranger in New York or Chicago or in any other large city of America find d hotel that provides a roof and raindrops for it's guests?
 An investigation would probably show that this lack of roofs on which the pat ter of raindrops may be heard is largely responsible for the nervousness by which 50 many of our busy people are afflicted.
 If the man who has had to submit to the trying exactions of business all day could always hear the gentle fall of rain drops on the roof above him when he went to bed at night he would undoubt- edy be able to sleep better than he can without such soothing accompaniment to his dreams. He would be a healthier and a better man if, after lobbying all day for sugar trust or tobacco com bine, or after trying for many hours at Q stretch to put through some business deal for the purpose of crowdng a rival against the wall, he might lie down where the sweet sound of rain on the roof would carry him back in fancy to his boyhood days.
 So it will be seen that we might be Justified in advocating roofs and rain- drops as an aid to public morality, even If the question of nerves were not to be considered.
 The thing could be done very easily. A little projection above the window and sprinkler, to be operated by the pres- sure of button inside, would be suffi- cient. Then the weary guest could turn on his rain at any time that might suit his pleasure and be lulled into sweet for getfulness of his business cares, or. even If he were the victim of unrequited love or a carbuncle, the sound of the rain on the roof could be depended on to cause him to forget the ache in his heart.

NOT 50 VERY, VERY POOR
A Supposedly Penniless Family FOUND
With Ample Means.

The family of w. D. West, who
were supposed to be suffering from
lack of the necessities of life, at Wes-
ton have been found to be we'll suppl
ed with funds. and local aid and
sympathy were promptly withdrawn,
says the Leader.
The Vests arrived there last fall
from Tennessee, and reside on Broad
street in the upper part of town. In
the family are husband and wife
and four children. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. West have been sick during the
winter, and the seeming poverty and
distress of the family attracted the
attention of kind hearted neighbors,
who proceeded to assist them with
personal help, and with donations OF
provisions, clothing and bedding.
The household was recently visited
by Rev. W. S. Payne. pastor of the
United Brethren church who left
money gift of $5. Mr.. Payne found
no provisions in the house except flour
and small piece of bacon. and noti-.
fed S. A. Barnes of the family's ap-
parent poverty. Mr.. Barnes is the
countv's local representative for the
aid of INDECENT poor. and at once sent
the Vests a supply of groceries and a
half cord of wood.
After matters had progressed this
far it was discovered by ohsnuo that
boy in the family who attended
school had carried to school purse
containing $3.50. A nei ghbcr who had
contributed some arti oles Of bedding
took these to the house, and while en-
gagged in making the be d saw wallet,
apparently we'll stuffe with green
eacks, under the pillow.
These disclosures led. to the infer
snce that the Vests al we'll able to
care for themselves--al Though they
are reported to have aid that there
were just t5 cents betty ,eeu them and
absolute poverty. Mr.. Payne made
another visit end der aanded and re-
ceived the So be ha given. Mr..
Barnes sent Marshal Gexking on q
similar mission, and he came back
with $3.50. the value of the county q
contribution.
The ineident is nc Nv regarded as
closed and the Vests will be permitted
in future to hu stle for themselves.

No Its Queer Cheating Tariff Dues

that a conscientious womans con-
science doesn't turn a hair when she
deals with Uncle Sam ct the custom
house? How can she, without a single
moral qualm, sign a declaration that is
an affidavit that she has brought IN
nothing dutiable when she knows that
she has thousands of dollars worth OF
stuff hidden away in the lining OF her
clothes?
How can mother, who has children
that she desires to be honest, sweetly
and innocently look an inspector in the
eve and assure him that she never even
heard of the pearls concerning which
he is questioning her when all the time
the pearls are sewn in the brim of her
hat?
How Can She Do Its
Pv what peculiar freak of memory is
the woman who is a pillar in the
church and a shining example OF the
moralities enabled to comfortably for
get half the things that she bought
abroad until they are recalled to her
memory by the customs officers find
ing them in her baggage? Nobody can
explain these things for the curious
part of the phenomenan is not that
women try to smuggle, but that they
are enabled to do so without in the
slightest degree doing injury to their
consciences. for if by some peculiar
involution of logic the feminine mind
did not condone smuggling women
would not do it.
If a woman felt herself degraded by
stealing from the government as she
would II she stole from a neighbOr; If
she felt herself perjured by making a
false declaration as to her purchases in
Paris as she would if she swore to any
i 49, ~
to do it. So far as her relations with
the government are concerned, woman's
conscience has an astigmatism that rem
ders it totally blind, and incapable of
seeing right from wrong, or honesty
from dishonesty.
The Way They See 1t.
OF course, if all women who attempt
TO get dUtiable goods past the custom
house without paying were militant
suffraSettes, they might justify their
smuggling on the ground that inasmuch
as the government denies them citizen
ship, and they are taxed without rep
resentation, and have no voice in levy
ing high protective tariff duties. they
have a right to circumvent the law il
they can.
But, as a matter of fact, the fair
smugglers are not suffragettes. They
are rich Ants, who hold that women
should have no voice in government,
and they don't base their determination
not to pay import duties on high moral
ground. They simply smuggle because
they want to save money, and because
they see nothing wrong, nor dishonest,
nor disgraceful in trying TO cheat such
an impersOnal old gentleman as Uncle
Sam. If il was the man next door. now,
they wouldn't dream of robbing him OF
a single penny.
So peculiarly is the feminine con-
science constructed.
AS for explanation of why a woman
who in other respects is perfectly hon
est and truthful will lie and steal for
the sake of getting in a few dollars
worth OF clothes without paying duty
on them, there is none. The fact mere
" exists.
