structed of hewn timbers. square at
both ends. was incouceivably clumsy
and weighed an unbelievable number
of pounds. When loaded, It carried all
the bed rolls. tents, provisions. cooking
utensils. tools and a chest of tobacco,
clothes and other minor supplies. 1t
was managed by Charlie and his two
cookies by means Of pike poles and o
long sweep at either end.
The packing began before the men
had finished breakfast. Shortly after
daylight the wanigan. pushed strongly
from shore by the pike poles. was drift
ing toward the chute. The heavy scow
threatened to turn side on. and the
sweeps ut either end churned the wa
ter frantically In an endeavor to
straighten her out
As Newmurk looked at the smooth
rim Of the water sucking into the
chute he began to wonder why he had
come. The noble ship was pointed
right at last and caught the faster wa
ter head on.
"All rightw Charlie shouted.
Zeke and his mate took In the oars.
The wanigan shot forward below the
gate.

stopped so suddenly that its four men
plunged forward In miscellaneous
heap. The water. backed up behind
the stern. began to overflow into the
boat. Newmark saw that the scow
had run her bow on an obstruction
and had been brought to a standstill
square beneath the sluIce gate. The
water was beginning to flow the entire
length of the boat. Various lighter ar
ticles shot past him and disappeared
over the side.
Newmark had an inspiration. The
more important matters. such as the
mems clothes bags. the rolls OF bed
ding and the heavier supplies of pro-
visions. had not yet cut loose from
their moorings. He seized one Of the
long oars, thrust the blade under the
edge of a thwart astern. laid the shaft
of the oar across the cargo and by
resting his weight OH the handle at

contents Of the wanigau to their
places. The cookies came to his AS
sistance. Together they succeeded IN
bending the long hickory sweep rar
enough to catch Its handle end under
another forward thwart. The second
oar was quickly locked alongside the
first. and not moment too soon, A
rush OF water forced them all to cling
for their lives.
Two or three riverrnen appeared al

 Wet to the skin and mad clean through. the horse owner went into a saloon on the corner and called for glass or whisky. Then he asked for a pint to take to the boys at the stable The proprietor of the saloon remarked that Gray was soaked by the rain, and Gray replied that he was trying to get back to the barn. As he waited for the rain to let up little Gray had another drink. this time al the invitation of the saloon keeper, who had method in his hospitality Say, young fellow, give us tip on the races" said the treating proprietor.
 That I will" said Gray, If you will bet a hundred dollars for me-
 Horsemen are pestered for information so much that they generally adopt this means of getting rid of pikers. But to Gray's surprise the saloonkeeper said he was willing to bet s10o for the owner and S1O0 for himself on a reliable tip.
 Well, you just wait a few days" said Gray, and I'll let you know when I've got something really worth while
 On the following Thursday Gray sent the saloon keeper a telegram bidding him come to the stable and bring his bank roll.

Go in for Wholesome Fun

Those who try to do without recreation pay the penalty in arrested development, says Orison Swett Madden in Success Magazine. Their lives become juiceless and uninteresting. They do not get rid of the brain ash from one day to another and the monotony of using the same fac ulties great many hours each day with out change or diversion will soon so de- teriorate the mind that it will lose it's elasticity, its power ito rebound, and the brain will operate in perfunctory man ner, instead of with strong, vigorous action and will produce nothing origina, or great
 A multitude of people, however, lose the very good they are seeking in theil recreation by indulging in pleasures which demoralize, weaken, and which instead of making them fresher ana stronger for their next days work, leave demoralizing reaction and exhaust their vitality. Their good time' does not accomplish the end sought, because they cannot discriminate between inno- cent amusement, which sends healthfu glow all through the whole nature. re. builds, rejuvenates, refreshes, restores all the life forces to their noram1 condi. tioD, and the pleasures which exhaust the vitality, deplete the life forces.

REFORMS IN POLICE
 METHODS OF BERLIN Brought About By Attack on :. Newspaper Men GERMAN WOMEN BRAVE Take Issue With Emperor on "Attain- ment of Supposed Rights"-Em-
 peror Greatly Interested in
 Building Up the Navy
GERMAN WOMEN BRAVE
BY MALCOLM CLARKE

Berlin, November 12-(Special )-Re-
 form in police methods Is the next thing
 in order here. And this reform will be
 the result of the recent attack made by l local policemen on American and Eng | fish correspondence. Many policemen have been recently acting as if they were with out brains. And the men are not to blame so much as are their officers who
 are in the habit of giving contradictory orders. Berlin policemen know nothing
 but orders and they will try to carry out
 such IS they receive although the en- forcement of one make another impossi- bIe.
 Herr von Jagow, chief of police, went to
 London to study police methods and
 handling traffic. He Is the official who laughed at the correspondents when they
 complained of the murderous assault
 made upon them by the police a few weeks ago.
 The League Of Associations of German Women, which held its annual confer
 ence at Heidelberg, discussed the Konigs-
 berg speech, in which the Emperor ad- monished German women "to devote themselves to the work of the house. rather than "to the attainment of sup posed rights" A strongly worded resolu- tion adopted expressed pain and regret at the Emperor's misunderstanding of the syomen's movement. and concludes: We do not fall to appreciate the i'm portance of woman's domestic duties. but we see that In the modern conditions of life, which drive e.5oO,0oo women into the struggle for a living outside the home, 1t Is absolutely necessary to go beyond the bounds of domestic duty. We regret, therefore. most deeply that our efforts to fit women better than heretofore for mod ern conditions of life have, by. this inn rerial criticism, been brought into dis credit among minimizing people,"
 The Kaiser has been unusually quiet since. He has not come out with any of those utterances which set people talk ing He is not as active as he was. The only thing that appears to interest him now is the building of the navy.
 The question really turns on point as to which there Is no doubt whatever in the eyes of German uthorities-namely, the effect of the marriage of the reigning King of England to a member of non- equal branch of the house of Wurtemberg Il. e., the ducal family of Teck. It was some time ago publicly pointed out by the professor of international law at Der lin university that the children of this marriage (the sons and daughters of King Georae1 cannot be considered as members of the royal Saxon house of Victim, of which their father is cadet. and that the young princeses are out of remainder to the ducal throne or Saxe- Coberg and Gotha. This contention, if correct, of course, involves the con sequence that the Prince of Wales and his brothers are not entitled to use the arms of Saxony.
 Within three days of the fourth anni- versary of the immortal exploit or the
