Amhitions Nkgrnes

The British tramp steamer Georgia Is due
here Saturday with a cargo of fertilizer from
British Columbia. Upon arrival the steamer
Will again be inspected by the officers and
stockholders of the Ethiopian-AmericanS Steam
ship company of Los Angeles who desire 10
purchase the steamer.
About six months ago the Georgia caileu
hero and for one day the deck swarmed with
negroes who have stock in the company and
who went on board to inspect the steamer
The negroes took an option on the steamer
at the time, but the deal fell through Now
the promoters aver they have their finances
in shape for business having floated enough
stock to establish a steamship line between
Los Angeles and Liberia via South American
ports w. T. Shorey of Oakland is manager
of the ambitious Ethiopian company.
When the steamer was here before the COM
pany had its headquarters at the residence OF
the president A. i. Lewis, but the finances
of the company now enable 1t TO maintain
an office at 1S415 North Spring street The
other officers of the company are H H.
Franklin, first vice president; c. II. Allison
second vice president; II. Tower, third vice
president; NJ. D. Wade, secretary, and M
Davis general superintendent.
The Georgia is 337 feet long, AZ feet beam
and is said to carry 1000 passengers and 1000
tons of freight When the Georgia called
here last spring she had no cargo for this
port She anchored for several days In the
outer harbor and there was much mystery
about her call here until scores Of negroes
appeared to make the inspection.

"Oh, yes, of that SORT" conceded the
enthusiastic woman.
Then we went back to the drawing
room, and the worshipers gradually
took their leave, till only Lady
Troughton and were left. The child
Muriel looked at her watch.
"Papa's got to go on to a party at
the" she begun.
"Theres no hurry. my dear; no hur-
ry at ALL" interposed the Prince Con-
sort.
"And, anyhow, I'm not going out,
Muriel," said Mrs. Clinton. "Im not
asked there, you know"
Yet Lady Troughton and I said
"goodby." The Prince Consort came
downstairs with us, and made us re-
new our promises to procure his wife's
novel. TITS really a striking book, p"
said he. "And, look here, Tom; just
write her a line, and tell her how
much you like it, will you? You're
sure to like it, you know"
Lady Troughton stopped on the
doorstep and looked him full in the
face. She said nothing; neither did he.
But when they shook hands 1 saw her
squeeze his. Then she was good
enough to offer me a lift in her car
riage, and 1 handed her in and fol-
lowed myself We drove quarter of
a mile or so in silence, and when he
had gone thus far Lady Troughton
made what appeared to me to be the
only remark that could possibly be
made.
"Poor little gooseH said Lady
Troughton.

pEATHRED PENITENcE

A priest, who, for obvious reasons
does not wish to be identified, tells the
following tale of one of his parishion-
ers: The man, whom we will call Ca
sey, had been operated upon for ap-
pendicitis and was not doing well, in
fact, his life was despaired of, and
the physician in attendance told the
man that he had little chance for re-
covery, and If he wished to see any
one before passing the great divide he
had best do so at once. Casey ex-
pressed a desire to see his best enemy,
Flanagan. Flanagan came to the bed
side and Casey, weakly taking his
hand, said in little more than a
whisper, Flanagan, 1 have done bad
ly by yez, and I want your forgive
ness"
"That's all right, Casey; don't speak
of it."
"Tm sorry" continued Casey, "and
I wronged yez by saying the things
did Yez amt a b1ackguard, ner
liar. Yez are the best man l know,
and there's no squarer, winter boy
iver came from the auld sod"
Flanagan, his heart touched by the
repentance of Casey, with a last
squeeze of the limp hand started for
the door when the weak voice called,
"Flanagan" He turned, his eyes
filed with tears, and said, ''Well, Ca
sey?" Casey raised himself on his
telbow, saying, Remember, Flanagan,
if I get better these lies don't CO."

THE ANSWER SHE DESERVED

In a small town there was a woman
who, when she wanted to secure bit
of gossip, quizzed the children. One
day she invited the minister's two
small daughters to spend the after
noon. It happened that there was a
little unpleasantness in the church,
and the minister's wife, not being
sure how much the children might
have overheard, decided to be on the
safe side, and admonished the chill
dren 'if Mrs. Blank asks you any
questions just tell her you don't know"
The children were on their guard,
and hardly had they arrived than their
hostess asked:
did Mrs. A call at your house yes
terday?" 1--WE don't know" chimed
the two dutifuls.
After a while she asked: "Was
your mother in the city yesterday"
1--WE don't know" was the answer.
Then she turned her angry eyes on
them as she said: "Why, you know
very we'll she was; how dare you tell
me a fib?"
One kiddy was too frightened to
speak, but the other managed to
gasp: Mamma said if you asked US
anything we was to say we've
didn't know" And it happened that
woman had no sense of humor, and
the minister's congregation lost an
attendant.
