SWAN TO SHORE IN BASKET
Desiring to Join His Sweetheart =
Sailor Risks Life In Jumping
From Ship.

Love for an old sweetheart and de-
sire to save her from a marriage ar
ranged by her parents impelIed Maxim
zono Inousko of Seattle, Wash, a sail
or on the steamer Inaba Maru. to risk
his life in daring attempt to escape
from the vessel.
Waiting until the dark hours of the
night MakiuzonO picked up a bamboo
basket, and, holding it over his head,
leaped from the steamer. Both guards
and ships officers heard the splash
and rushed to the spot. Electric flash
lamps and the ships searchlight shot
their rays over the waters, but all
that was discernible was a bamboo
basket bObbing around in the bay. Ap-
parently without any guidance the
basket fOated around the end of the
grain elevator and disappeared. In the
morning Makinzono was missed, and
investigation developed the manner of
his escape.
Sent among the passengers with d
message from one Of the ships off
GERS, Makinzc1o recognized the girl
as an old sweetheart. It was then he
carried out his plan Of escape. The
girl is held at the detention station

Drops PICK as wife Gets RIoh.

Michael Flanagan threw down his
pick when he got word his wife had
fallen heir to $4,000 left by her uncle,
John Hogan, a Brooklyn saloonkeeper.
Flanagan has been one of the Jolly,
devil-may-care workers employed in
building a road on Franklin Murphy's
large estate, which is being fashioned
out Of the wilderness near here.
I'm sorry to leave you, boys" said
Flanagan when a lawyers clerk from
MorTistOWn brought the news, but
I'm suddenly elevated to the Rocke-
feller and Carnegie class, and so I
must be off"
Michael, Notwithstanding he had
money in his pocket, walked a mile
in the hot sun to the railroad station
rather than pay a nickel on the troll
ley.
IF any part of that $4,000 gets
away from me foolishly 1t will be
when I'm asleep and can't hold on to
it's wing" remarked Flanagan de-
parting.

Good Time 70 Turn Farmer.

In theory there never was a better
time than right now for a sensible
man to move from city to country.
The movement has been away from
the farm until prices of all kinds of
food and fiber are high. There is
nothing in sight to indicate that
prices will be greatly reduced by in
creased production. A crop well
grown and handled with good business
judgment will be reasonably sure of
sale at fair price. There never was
a time when it was so easy to learn
new methods and the principles of
scientific farming. A man starting
now may receive at once the benefit
of so years of the experience and
study of good farmers and scientific
experts. For example millions of
acres of land in the eastern states are
almost nOnproductive and thrown on
the market at a low figure, simply be-
cause they are waterlogged and sour.
When these farms are drained and
lined they become at once productive
and double in value for farm purposes.
They are naturally strong and drain
age and lime make their strength
avaIlable.-H. w. Collingwood, In
Metropolitan Magazine.

WANTED PAY FOR HIS WORK
British West indian Who Wanted Rec
ompense for Building His Own
House, Materials Furnished.

An English naval officer tells Of be-
ing on a war vessel which took provi-
sions to st. kits, one of the British
West India islands. A hurricane had
left many Of the inhabitants in a desti-
tute or even starving condition. Hun
cry crowds gathered at the wharf, but
refused to help unload the food that
was to be given to them unless paid
for their work. A similar story sheds
light on the Jamaican negro. Five or
six years ago a hurricane devastated
the island, and a large relief sum was
raised, much of it in England and the
United States. The committee having
charge of this fund sent a wagon
load of lumber to a husky black man
whose house had been scattered over
the parish. He and his family were
living in a rude shack, made out OF
odds and ends.
Whats that fur" he asked of the
men who were unloading the material
in front Of his patch of ground.
That's for your new house." was
the reply. It's from the relief fund
and won't cost you anything"
who's goin' to build nah house?'
"You are, if anybody does"
who's goin' to pay me fur nah

WHY THE OK WAS MUZZLED
Old Welsh Plowman Took Timely
Precaution to Save the Tall

The oxen were harnessed tandem

They eyed me with an expression Of
plaintiVe inquiry. and l noticed that
the rear ones moist black nose was
guarded by a string muzzle, through
which he snorted at ne in a manner
hardly inviting confidence. The old
ploWman smiled indulgently while l

Why do you muzzle the rear one?"
I inquired.
Look at the t'other's tail an yen

And certainly the leaders tail was
not so bushy as it should be.
There aren't many oxen used now
for farm wOrk?" I asked.
He shook his head. only a few,

LAMB ONCE A JOURNALIST
At One Time He Was Actively En-
gagged on the staff of the
London Post.

In connection with Lord GIenesks s
recently published history of that old
established London journal, the Morn
ing Post, it is interesting to recall
the fact that at one time Charles
Lamb was on its staff of contributors.
This gentle essayist wrote largely for
column headed fashionable Intel
ligence;" IN those day, as Lamb says,
every morning paper, as an essential
retainer to its establishment, kept an
author who was bound to furnish daily
quantum of witted paragraphs" 1t
was in this capacity that Lamb was
engaged on the Post; furthermore his
contract stipulated that in the chat
Of the day, scandal, but above all,
dress" he should supply six paragraphs
q day, not one of which was to ex-
ceed seven lines in length, and the
payment for which was to be II cents
each.
In his essay Newspapers Thirty
Five Years Ago" Lamb seems to have
been rather pleased with the "sticks"
Of chat he contributed to the press;
We now find that Dan Stuart" his
editor, entertained a different opinion
as to their value. "As for good
Charles Lamb" he said, 4 never could
make anything of his writings. OF
politics he knew nothing; they were
out Of his line of reading and
thought and his drollery was vapid
when given in short paragraphs fit
for a newspaper"

How Hay Wrote Little Braeches."
On the train, as l journeyed to New
York, l entertained myself by writing
Little Breeches." The thing was
done merely for my own amusement,
without the smallest thought of print.
But when | showed 1t to Whitelaw
Reid he seized the manuscript and
published it in the Tribune. By that
time the lilt and swing Of the Pike
county ballad had taken possession of
me. | was filled with the Pike county
spirit, as it were, and the humorous
side of my mind was entertained by
its rich possibilities. Within a week
after the appearance of Little
Breeches" in print all the Pike county
ballads were written. After that the
impulse was completely gone from
me. There were no more Pike
county ballads in me and there never
have been any since. Let me tell you
a queer thing about that. From the
hour when the last of the ballads was
written until now / have never been
able to feel that they were mine, that
my mind had anything to do with
their creation or that they bore any
trace of kinship to my thought or my
intellectual impulses. They seem ut
terfy foreign to meas foreign as II
had first encountered them in print
as the work of somebody else. It is a
strange feeling.-Letter from John
Hay to G. c. Eggleston, quoted in

HOW SHE GOT RID OF THEM
Discouraged Visits From Her Niece's
Children by Teaching Them
Verses From the Bible.

What has become of those two
children who visited you so often ?''
asked one West side woman of an
other. The other smiled discreetly.
They are the children of my niece,
and she was making a convenience of
me. Of course | love the children, but
/ never allow myself to become much
of a victim of imposition. My niece is
an extremely gay young widow, and
she does not like to take care of her
children. She is fond of shopping,
matinees, afternoon teas and every
thing, in short, which takes her away
from home, and she got into habit of
sending her children over to my house
for me to take care of whenever she
wished to CAD about l decided it
was time to break up the habit. for
her own good and that Of the children,
as well as mine, so l did"
81 suppose that made your niece
angry?"
'Oh, no; it couldn't. | never said
anything about it. The last time the
children came over l spent the after
noon teaching them verses from the
Bible, and they didn't find it sufficient
ly entertaining. They never came
back. Just how they managed to work
it out with their mother | do not
know, but l suppose they struck or
begged off. OF course. she could not
object to what l had done, and it
proved a very simple solution"

The Boss.

President McCrea of the PennsyI-

classes of men who are under him, en-
tertains a great admiration for the
Irish foreman of a gang of laboTe7s
who went to any lengths to show his
men that he was the real boss. One
morning this foreman found that his
gang had put hand car on the track
without his orders.
who put that han car-r-r on the

I'VE did, sor," one of the men an
swered respectfully.

Murdered for q Cent

a quarrel over a single penny led to
q murder in Hoboken the other day.
A man from Nebraska, who stopped at
hotel in Hoboken while awaiting the
sailing Of the steamer for Europe, put
a penny in the slot of an automatic
music box in the dining-room of the
hotel, but the box refused to pour
forth the expected ragtime tune. The
Nebraskan became indignant and up
braided the German porter. The lat
ter explained to him that it required
a nickel and not a penny to set the
mechanism of the music-box in mo-
ton, but that explanation did not sat
isfy the man from Nebraska. He be-
came abusive and when the porter
threatened to put him out, he pulled
a revolver from his pocket and shot
the porter dead.

WHY WOMEN GROW OLD EARLY
Through a Mistaken Idea of Duty She
Permits Her Life to Become
TreadmIlI.

Why do some women grow old and
others keep the secret of perpetual
youth? Here is one answer:
One reason why the average woman
wears out. grows plain before her hus-
band, is that, through a mistaken idea
OF duty, she lays out for herself at
the beginning of her married life a.
scheme or plan of duty and employ
ment for her time, every hour filed
with work, with rare and short periods
of relaxation.
This she follows religiously for,
years, feeling that she has done herI
duty, because every household event
occurs regularly and on time, while
she soon becomes merely a machine,
thing without life Of itself or voIi-
ton. She settles into a rut, and goes
round and round on the same track
everlastingly.
Can any woman keep brightness,
originality Of thought or speech, or
even mere prettiness with such life?
And without those things how can she
keep her husband and growing chill
dren full of loving admiration, which
is the strong chain by which she can
bind them to her? How bright and
jolly the neighbor's wife seems when
she calls. In nine cases out Of ten it
is because the surroundings and talk
of your home are variety to her, and
rouse her to originality and bright
ness of speech.
Cultivate a broad attitude toward
the world and its people. Let your in
terests be far-reaching, and there will
be renewed yigOr when it comes to
solve the problems of the home.

Eating Between Meals.

Not much is said about this bad
habit nowadays, but Is is still bad
habit. Do not let children eat chOco-
Iates, biscuits or sweetmeats at odd
times, whenever the whim seizes
them.
This practise leads to many trouble
some little ailments connected with
the digestion.
NibbIing at crackers and sucking
sour balls or tafy are perhaps TIE
most common forms of eating all tie
time" and should be checked as soon
as the habit is noticed.
A little pure candy may be given for
dessert at a meal, or at night before
the teeth are washed, but it should
not be given more than once a day.

Man an Aquatic Animal.

Every moderately weIl-educated per-
son knows that life originated in the
water, but not SO many are aware that
we are still aquatic animals. Every
cell except those Of the outside skin
is dependent upon a surrounding
liquid to keep it alive, and if 1t be-
came dry 1t would perish. A person
who realizes this fact will always take
care to drink plenty of water, and will
also eat plenty of fruit and vegetables,
since these contain large quantities of
water, and that in a purer form than
is usually available. The pickaninny
shows his good sense when he feasts
upon the juicy watermelon, and in
stead Of ridiculing him we might bet
ter go and do likewise.

OIL MAGNATE OWNS A GHOST
II Was the Prize Package Given With
Mexican Palace That H. Clay
Pierce Bought.

H. Clay Pierce, st. Louis oil mag
nate, is now the owner of the Borda
Gardens at Ceurnavaca, Mexico, and
may be said to be the custodian of the
ghost OF the BOrda Gardens. Nothing
was said about 1t when Mr.. Pierce
paid $4,000 for the historic spot
which was the favorite summer haunt
Of Emperor Macmillan and Queen
Carlotta in the days of Mexico's splen-
dor as an empire.
But it is to be supposed that the
ghost, having occupied the gardens
without leave these many years, viii
continue to do so, and an occasional
glimpse Of the ghostly intruder may
be youchsafed to the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. Pierce after Mr.. Pierce has
spent 100000 In restoring the gar
dens and they are ready to entertain
their friends there
Mrs. Pierce, who will be the mis-
tress Of the mansion of the mad en-
press, Is an EdwardsviIle QIl) wom-
an, the daughter OF Mai. William NJ.
Russell Pickett. Before her marriage
10 Mr.. Pierce she was Mrs. Virginia
Pickett BuTrowes.
The mansion, in recent years. has
divided into several suites and has
been let to tenants. These say that
they often see the ghost.
Whose ghost is it, and why it haunts
the Borda Gardens nobody pretends
to know, but it is the belief of the To-
cality that the ghOstly appearances
have some relation to buried treasure
and dark crime of the long ago.-St
Louis POst-Dispatch.
