Chilean Government and, what seemed I'M
pardonable in the attack all of our men were
shot or wounded in the back, which was a
bad commentary on the methods employed
by Chileans in trying to keep order.
Evans had gone ashore to pay his respects
to some of the Government officials, and
during his absence from his gig, lying off the
landing place waiting to take him back to the
cruiser, his men were stoned by some tOughs,
who amused themselves by daring our men
to come ashore.
When Evans returned to the dock he
found his gig surrounded by mob and his
men mad clear through. He inquired the
cause. His procedure in the matter is best
told by the Admiral in his book, 1.-The
Sailors Log:
Il was hot all over, and instead of going to
my own ship pulled straight for the Cochran,
whose Captain, Vial, was senior officer in
command of the city as we'll as the Chilean
fleet. | could hardly hold myself down while
l told him of the stoning of my gig; but l
did and then read him the riot act. de-
manded immediate and efficient protection
by the police, and served notice on him then
and there that a repetition of the offensc
would be sufficient evidence that they could
not control their people, and that l should
arm my boats and shoot any and every man
who insulted me or my men or my flag in
any way. Vial was greatly shocked, or pre-
tended to be-turned white as sheet. My
manner was not very mild; but he assured
me that l should have ample apology and
assurances of protection"
The next day l called on Captain Evans
and tried to pacify him, and assured him
that while hot talk relieved ones feelings it
did not make for peace with those hot headed
people, and l tried in every way knew how
to calm his ruflled spirit
l shall never forget the look he gave me;
for the more talked the madden he seemed
to get. We were sitting in his cabin. and he
jumped up excitably. "I'll tell you one
thing. Mr. NIinister.'' and he fixed me with
his piercing glance. IF they dare to repeat
this outrage, I'll make all hades smell of
garlic!"

MAKING THE BEST OF THINGS
By William Faversham

7 DON'T know that a hard luck story
could scarcely be called humorouS but
the experience when viewed dispassionately
through a vista of years-or let me subSti-
tute good luck-iS after all funny.
Not SO many years ago | found myself
stranded in New York and depending upon
the meager salary of friend who was lucky
enough at this time to be doing chorus work
at fifteen dollars a week.
| had already signed a contract to star
with big manager, opening at New York
house the following November; but the time
of my hard luck came in the spring, and to
add to our misery my friend came home one
day with the awful news that he had lost his
job and had spent the last three dollars of
his wad for two brooms and shovel.
But what are you going to do with these
things?" | exclaimed.
do with them!" he echoed in scorn.
why, you are going to take one broom and
/ the other, and we are going to work down
Fifth-ave. from 2Oth-st. sweeping the snow
from the doorsteps."
We set to work with some embarrassment
at first, which soon faded as our money be-
gan to roll in. We got a quarter at one house
could see that we didn't look like chaps ac-
custoned to such labor and kindly asked us
in to cup of hot coffee and rolls, which we
did not refuse.
That night we prayed for another Storm
and were rewarded by work lasting nearly
two weeks, at the expiration of which we had
earned enough to keep us in comfort until
we had secured theatrical engagements.

burning and furnished the only light in the
room.
Some of the boys had taken their turn at
an old much out of tune piano, and Gloomy
Gus, as we had nicknamed him, began to
sing. He finished one verse; then wheeled
on the piano stool and said:
But why sing? You will all remember
my prophecies longer than you will my
song"
He began his seance by choosing the
youngest woman. Your mother died to-day
at two o'clock. A telegram is already on the
way. You will go back East, and in two
weeks time you will be playing an engage
ment in a New York house.
Some of us were inclined to scott; but he
silenced us by his seriousness.
To the leading woman he said, You will
be a widow before you reach the end of this
tour.
Turning to me he said, Bob, you will
find 1t cheaper to stop in hotel than to
visit friends in Frisco. There is more than
one way of losing wardrobe"
We thought he had finished, as he was 81
lent for so long; but he added cheerfulIy,
"Now about myself. l have made all my
arrangements and want you to ship my body
to the address you will find in my purse to-
morrow"
He had us all going and when the telegram
arrived two hours later, verifying the first
prophecy, we began to sit up and take notice.
The next morning the prophet died of an
apoplectic stroke.
When | reached California l met a friend
whom | had not seen in years. and he per-
suaded me to share his bachelor apartment
with him. The third night the house
was burned to the ground, and when | re-
turned from the theater was minus ward
robe.
| do not know if all the prophecies were
carried out to the letter, for | left the COM
pany in Frisco; but it was without doubt
the most wonderful psychic demonstration

FIGHTING BOB IN CHILE
By Patrick Egan

SOME years ago when was serving in the
~ capacity of Minister to Chile, | had a
good opportunity to study at close range
some of the characteristics of Admiral
Evans. then ranking Captain. which in a
measure have helped to earn for him the
sobriquet of Fighting Bob" At this time
war seemed inevitable between Chile and the
United States, and it required the patience,
skill, and diplomacy of the proverbial Phila-
delphla lawyer to settle affairs between the
two hostile Governments. In fact, | am
sure that the differences could have been set
tied by no one with greater success than Adj
miral Evans was able to demonstrate at VAL
paraiso.
The circumstances attending this dispute
were very annoying. and called for enormous
self control as well as patience. Washington
was stirred with the news of the murder of
our sailors in uniform by policemen of the

ELECTED HIMSELF SENATOR
By Willard L. Marks

THERE is only one instance on record
where man declared himself elected to
the United States Senate. 1t occurred in
1898, when Joseph Simon was chosen United
States Senator from Oregon.
The fight for the senatorship had dis
rupted the Oregon Legislature in the session
of 1897 and there was a deadlock, with the
result that Oregon had only one Senator for
almost two years. When the next Legisla-
ture was chosen there was a hard fight to
settle the question of the senatorship at the
polls, and the Simon wing of the Republican
party elected clear majority of the legis
lative candidates.
Soon after the election special session of
the new Legislature was called to elect
Senator to fill the vacancy. The Simon men
controlled the organization and elected their
leader President of the State Senate. In
accordance with custom the first ballot for
United States Senator was taken by Senate
and House of Representatives separately,
and 1T was then seen that Simon would be
chosen on Joint ballot the next day.
When Simon called the joint session of
the two branches to order he calmly an
nOunced that they would now proceed to
ballot on the election of United States Sen
ator. The ballot was taken, and he received
a majority of all votes cast. The members
of the Senate and House and the large
crowd of spectators looked to see whom the
presiding officer would request to announce
the result of the ballot, and the Speaker of
the House was already framing the words in
his mind. when to the surprise of everyone,
Simon himself rose. He announced the vote
and then said in firm, even voice:
81 now declare Joseph Simon, of MultnO-
nah County, duly elected United States
Senator from Oregon to fill the existing
vacancy
Simon served in the United States Senate
for four years. two years of the term having
expired before his election. When his term
was ended political conditions in Oregon
had changed and Charles w. Fulton was
chosen to succeed him.
Before his election Senator Simon was a
prominent attorney in Portland. and when he
retired he resumed his position as member
of one of the largest law firms of the Oregon
metropolis; firm, by the way that has
produced three United States Senators.-the
late Joseph N. Dolph, Joseph Simon. and
John M. Gearin, the last of whom was ap-
pointed Senator to fill the unexpired term of
the late Senator John H. Mitchell. Mr..
Simon practised law until last May, when
he was elected Mayor of Portland.

A New Evening Cloak.

OF the many Chantecler garments
one of the most useful and least
startling is an evening cloak that falls
almost to hem of frock, with capelike
revers and raglan slsaves.
The chief feature Of the cloak is
that it is reversible; 1t IL made of two
Ihades Of fine faced cloth. It can be
utilized with darker side out for mo-
toring.
The circular deep revers are of the
light tone when the dafk side Of coat
is worn, and Is turned, dark side out,
for the light cloak. There is no trim
ming of any kind on most of these
models, though some have IN irregular
border made Of inch-wide detached
strips Of light cloth on dark. and vice
versa.
Taese are cut about six inches long,
with slanting ends, and are arranged
In two rows, q strip on second row op-
posite space between strips On outsg
row.
