thur Kill pulled up close to the
schooner, all aboard the Inflated ves-
sci swarmed on the tugboats and
begged for food. The Reliance crew
offered some coffee, which was swal-
lowed as though it was the best
drink they had ever tasted. Neither
of the tug crews were able to give
them food, for they usually only
take enough aboard for a single day
and had none to offer. Those aboard
the Sprague appeared in a pitiable
condition and the tugboat members
did all they could for them.

The Reliance, which towed the
Sprague into port, was the first yes

those aboard all the assistance 1t
could. AS soon as the schooner was
anchored in the sound off the foot of
Broad street, Captain Simmons went
ashore to procure food for the crew

straits similar to those of the crew
members.

of the arduous work of he and the
crew, together with Captain Sim
mons, In putting up pieces OF sails
as the winds blew them down.
"Why," he stated, 1.-THE gale blew
for weeks and drove us time and
again to the windward. Our sails
blew off, leaving only one jib. We
repaired the sails as best We could,
sometimes ON Saturday nights. They
would be put up IN Sunday morn
ings and at moo would be blown
down again"
Later as the canvas was blown ana

During the greater part of the past

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

In connection with the furore over
high prices, attention is being called
TO our increasing foreign trade in ag-
rieu1tHrai products which in the past
half century has been more than quad
rupled and has reached nearly a bill
Hon dollars a year.
The Philadelphia Times calls atten-
ton to the fact that Uncle Sam is
feeding and clothing a large share of
boundaries. It says the chief agricul-
tuFal products exported in the last half
century have been, f1rst, cotton; sec
Ond, grain and grain products; and.
third. packing house products. Not
considering the civil war period, the
tendency OF cotton exports has been
steadily to increase since 1851. The
highest year was 1907 when ASS, 0oo,-
900 pounds were sent out. Exports of
grain and grain products amounted to
SEAS, eco. zoe IN 1908. total much above
the average of recent years. though
there has been decline since 1896
1900. which was the period of largest
grain exports.
When it comes to packing house
products, it is worth observing that
they have increased much more rap
idiy in the last half century than cot
ton or cereals. In 1908 the exports of
packing house products amounted to
S1se. eco, zoo. The principal items are
pork, lard, beef and cleo oil. Beef has
declined since 1905, but even at that
we are shipping abroad about 359,-
ooe, eco pounds a year
1t is the worlds demand upon our
supplies which tends to send prices
upward In addition to home conditions
over which the consumers have no
control.

a finish te the front of a coat a tassel
more or less elaborate is often used.

THE EXCITEMENT OF THE OPER.
ATORS

The excitement in Wall street is not
as marked in its effects upon the coun-
try as 1t used to be, and it is to be
hoped that the day of stock gambling
is fast drawing to a close, for that is
one OF the blights upon the nation to-
day.
Because Wall street operators are
discouraged, business need not be
alarmed, and it is not.
Bradstreet's, reporting on Friday up
on the state of business throughout
the country, said:
Yet jobbing trade is moderately
active and travelling statesmen continue
60 send in satisfactory spring orders:
while manufacturers are still operat-
ing ON the basis of full capacity, the
iron and steel trade conditions are ir-
regular"
We select these sentences from Dun's
weekly report:
while there has been no return to
the remarkable activity of a few
months ago. current consumption of
iron and steel continues in heavy vol
INNS and all leading producers are bus
lily engaged in filing contracts on their
books
In the iebbing markets. the trade
for ths week has been more active. the
moderate advances relative to the use
of raw materials doing much to stinu-
late confidence"
This indicates that Wall street has
ceased to be the pulse of the country
IL is only the pulse of the speculative
fraternity. There is nothing the
country could get along without bet
ter than that sink of iniquity.

HE WOULD HAVE THE MARK HIT

President Taft believes only in such
investigations as investigate. He does
not believe in the whitewash brush or
the Whitewater or the whitewashed.
He is not excited by the inquiry con-
oerning high prices and their relation
to the tariff. 1t IL alleged that the
president has informed some of the
leaders that he desires an honest and
funpzrtfa1 Investigation, without refer
ence 60 whether the tariff is hit or
net. Ee feels that any other sort of
an inquiry conducted with the object
of shielding the tariff would be worse
than useless, that the country would
resent It and that it would be political
" dangerous
President Taft's heart is right and
his head level He still knows that
honesty OF purpose Is one Of the best
assets amy political party can possess,
and that trickery and false pretence
are soon detected by the people and
are followed by merited reversals of
policy.
He does not believe In political art
simply because he knows that political
honesty Is better. He desires to have
public matters probed right. If the
wooapfle is investigated and there is
a niger in 1t, he wants him shown
up. This IS why he will shine whether
his desires are met or not

A GOOD EELLoW.

There is a sincere feeling OF SYM
pathy for Treasurer Hall of South
bridge because he was "a good fellow"
both in his religious pretence and his
fres-handed way of giving away mon
ey which was not his own. He used
to pass out fifty cents or a dollar to
the -do-wells who asked for a
dime to procure a drink with, helped
young fellows through college and was
a contributor of generous sums when
the Y. NJ. c. A could not make things
meet. According to his own showing
he was backed by men who, according
to his statements, were too stupid to
guard their own interests, to say moth
ing of the bank depositors' funds
He couldn't get caught and he could
not muster up courage enough to con-
fess. He says that about two years
ago he deliberately went away and re-
manned most of one summer, hoping,
he said, the condition of the books
would be discovered. Glaring errors
left behind in a. way to attract atten-
ton were overlooked during his abb
sencs, and Hall returned to South
bridge, disappointed, he said, to find
no notice had been taken of what he
intended to be an exposure
Another time, Hall said, he went to
Boston and remained three days, leav-
books, which, as he expressed it, "a
blind man could hardly have over
looked He said he expected hourly
to hear the whole thing had been ex-
posed, but when he returned to South
bridge no one seemed to have made
any discovery, and so it went along,
Hall expecting and hoping the discov-
cry would be made He has said his
suffering has been great during the
past three or four years. He hadn't
been able to muster up the necessary
nerve to tell of his doings, but, as he
put it. he hoped that some one would
make the discovery that would lead to
an inquiry, that his mind might be eat
rest
Hall is quoted as saying: For two
years I have tried to have some one
examine the books. I have made per-
sona1 application to the bank direc-
tors to have the books examined, and
I have talked the matter over time and
again. but It is true that aside from
my anxiety to have the books examine d
I gave no hint of their condition.
He speculated in real estate and on
one occasion claims to have shared
with a relative $4,000, and that is the
only success he shows in squandering
a half-million that did not belong to
him.
1t is not very complimentary to the
offieiaIs when he declares it was the
hardest job to excite interest enough
among panl< officials to have his books
examined. Try as he would, he could
not get caught, without telling the
story himself.

New Sleeves.

There is a revolution in the style of

Some are full length some end above

are wide and narrow cuffs of net and
lace, with full pufs above. held by
bands of velvet or satin ribbon, gold,
silver or bronze tissue.

two of these materials may be used I;
on another all of them may be COM
