Ubiquitous Vanity Box.

The modern girl is SO given over to
the use of the powder puff, and it is
concealed in such odd and unexpected
places, that one is never surprised at
stumbling upon it hidden somewhere.
Hatpin tops, lockets which swing in
round plaques from the neck, orna-
ments for the chatelaine, compart-
ments in the opera bag and chain
purse, card cases, all reveal the useful
toilet adjunct at the touch of spring.
But the latest place of concealment
for vanity box is as plaque on top
of a bracelet. The bracelet itself is
of manipulated gold wires and the
plaque is the size of a small open
face watch. At touch the lid lifts,
showing a tiny puff and powder.

Less than an hour later passengers
pings on their doors and the voice Of
the cabin boy shouting, as his feet
battered on to the next cabin: "The
captain says for everybody to get
up!"
Seymour B. Cochrans, general man
ager of the Chicago Navigation COM
pany, was one of the passengers. Up
on being called by the cabin boy he
at once Weakened the wireless operator
and instructed him to get in touch
with land or with other steamers.
For an hour the wireless searched
the lake, but could get no answer.
Finally word reached Ludington and
ferry boats No. and No. 20 started
in search of the distressed vessel.

In the meantime everybody on board
had gotten up. Captain Kitty was on
deck and many of the passengers
talked with him. All of the crew was
aroused and put to work. And yet,
with all of this opportunity, none of
the members of the crew who were
saved, nor any of the passengers,
learned what was the matter with the
vessel
Theories of the Disaster.
Here are some of the theories as
to what happened to the Pere Mar
Iuette:
Loaded freight cars, being run over
board, through the open rear, damned
on the "fantail' at the stern.
Portfolios, opened by an insane man,
and bulkhead blown out, admitted wa
ter to engine room, flooding ship.
Dynamite thrown into the boilers by
maniac or brought aboard in coal and
accidentally shoveled in by stokers.
Water entering flicker" compart-
ment through open portfolios burst
bulkheads and sank the vessel.
Struck by submerged wreck.
Deck scuttles near the stern washed
off and after compartment flooded.
Sea cock allowed to remain open in
after compartment.

Interior of the Ship.

the Pere Marquette class constantly
facing a similar danger?
These and dozens of like questions
are now being asked daily by every
man connected with the shipping of
the Great Lakes. And the theories ad-
yanced in response to the queries are
as numerous as the questioners. 1t
is the one unsolved mystery of traf-
fic on our inland seas.
Here was a great modern vessel,
newly examined by the federal in
spectors, only a few hours out on her
first trip after leaving the inspection
docks, protected by every method, hui
man and mechanical, known to navi-
gation-and not on the vast ocean, but
on a Iand-locked lake.
A relief boat was in sight before
the Pere Marquette went down and
followed in her wake for half an hour
or more in response to her distress
signals. was within fifty yards of her
when she sank, and picked up the
survivors.
All on board knew she was Grip
a number of passengers talked to the
captain and his officers and to mem
bers of the crew. Some of the crew
themselves were saved.
Following the disaster an investiga-
ton SO searching that it fairly grilled
the survivors with questions was in
stituted by boards of inquiry which
had every authority to summon wit
nesses and cross-examine, and which
was supplied with the best expert ad-
vice and assistance.
And yet-the mystery of what hap
pened is as dark and unresponsive to-
day as the $40 feet of blue water
which covers the wreck of the Pere
Marquette and the bodies of its he
Toic crew.
A few minutes before midnight on
September s the huge steel car ferry
left her slip at Huntington, Mich, and
started across to Milwaukee with
cargo of 20 loaded freight cars and a
number Of passengers.
That day two United States gov
eminent inspectors had gone over her
from stem to stern and pronounced
her one Of the most seaworthy YES
sells on the lakes. She had been built
only few years before. During the
summer she had been in the excur-
sion service out of Chicago. This
was her first trip after being returned
TO the ferry service.
Shortly after three o'clock on the
morning of September 8 Captain Pete
Kitty was called and told that there
was something wrong. He arose at
once to investigate.

Stern plates 1oosened while vessel
was in it's slip taking on freight cars.
Bottom pierced by floating log.
Carelessness of members of crew
who may have been drinking.
Numerous other theories are ad-
yanced by persons familiar with lake
traffic, but none of them explain sat
isfactorily just what happened to the
Pere Marquette.
AS the vessel went down many of
the passengers and crew leared into
the water from the fore part, while
others were swept off. So abrupt was
the descent that the waves threw a
lifeboat which had put off from the
ferry boat No. IL back against that
vessels side and crushed it.
Ferry boats Nos. and 20 from Lud-
ington and the tug A. A. G. Tessler,
which had come out from Milwaukee,
and another tug from Sheboygan, Wis,
towing the Sheboygan 1ife-saving
crew, came onto the scene after the
vessel sank, but in time to assist in
picking up the survivors.
These facts indicate the suddenness
with which the collapse came. The
vessel gave great lunge, the stern
shot downward and the PROV up, then
the Pere Marquette disappeared.
Most of the crew were still working
below, trying to repair whatever dam
age then existed, and they went down
with the boat. Captain Kitty, on deck,
followed the traditions of the seas and
rests at the bottom of Lake Michigan
with his vessel, and thus all who know
what did happen, if any of them real
ly did know, lie in a watery grave.

ia Money From Tested Cows.

One dairyman produced $4,000
worth of milk from 20 cows, or 500
per cow, while a neighbor bestowed
twice as much labor on 30 cows and
sold only $1,000 worth Of milk. or
$40 per COW, barely paying expenses.
while the first man made a profit of
over $1,000, says the bulletin of the
University of Illinois. Yet the second
man said he had no time to spend q
few minutes each day weighing and
testing the milk from each COW. In
stead, he spent four long, weary years
in raising and harvesting the crop6
on a 160-acre farm, and feeding and
milking 20 cows to make as much
profit as his neighbor did in one year
with half the cows, BALI the land and
half the labor.

Ended the Controversy.

On the steeple OF an old Universal
is church in Bath, Me-, there is a
wooden figure of an angel. 1t is not
a remarkably fine specimen of art, and
has always been somewhat laughed
about, especially because of it's high
heeled shoes. The Bath Enquirer re-
calls the story that former pastor OF
the North Congregational church once
accosted a devoted Universalist with
the question: "Mr. Raymond, did you
ever see an angel with high-heeled
shoes on it's feet?" "Why, no." an
swered Mr.. Raymond, Il can't say that
/ ever did; but did you ever see ono
without them?"
