MYSTERY OF A LOST SHIP.
Fate OF the Gig Frelghter Naronio,
Buried In the Atlantic.

| Buried In the Atlantic.
The big freighter Naronic was
one Of the boats whose fate the
insolence of the Atlantic keeps
secret. The NaroHic on the day of
her launching was the largest and
strongest ship of her class in all
the merchant navies. Twin screws,
then an innovation in freighters,
gave her tremendous power. Eight
bulkheads were counted as perfect
protection for her hull. The big
gest, safest, swiftest sea carrier was
what shipping men called her. The
Naronic made six round trips from
Liverpool to New York, justifying
the boasts of her owners on each
trip. Then one day in February she
nosed out of her berth on the Mer-
sey, full laden and fully manned,
bound for New York. Captain
William Roberts was her command
ing officer; a Grew Of sixty worked
her, and fourteen cattlemen were
booked as passengers. The $3.50
ton ship was weeks overdue when
the first whisper of disaster came
sitting in from the Atlantic. The
British steamer Coventry put into
Bremen, out of Fernandina, with
word that when about 500 miles
southeast of st. Johns, Newfound-
land, it had one morning passed a
lifeboat, riding bottom up on the
long swell. The name on the stern
of the capsized boat was hidden by
water. Later on the same day the
Coventry passed second lifeboat,
floating upright, but almost awash.
A sea anchor, made of oars and a
spar, was dragging astern at the end
of a painter On the stern, just
above the wash of the waves, were
the black letters Naronic. The
waterlogged lifeboat was unoccu-
pied. No other trace of the Naronic
was found until five months later,
when another of her lifeboats was
! picked up off the Azores. This, too,
was empty.
Steamship men tried to recon-
struct the moment of disaster that
had blotted from sight this biggest
and safest boat of her class. The
place where the Coventry had
sighted the drifting lifeboats was
approximately 1900 miles north
east of New York and twenty-five
miles south of the eastbound winter
track across the Atlantic. There
could not have been collision, be-
cause no other boat plying in that
vicinity had been missed, not even
banks fisher. Icebergs had not
been sighted on the winter track;
consequently it was not probable
that the i'll fated steamer had
rammed one in a fog or snow squall.
The sea anchor on that second life
boat sighted by the Coventry gave
the only faint support to specula-
ton.
Those oars and that bit of spar
! shipped over the stern, mute testi-
mony to some despairing effort of
men in peril, meant only one thing
"a storm, or, rather. the spending
of storm-for no lifeboat could
keep upright in winter storm on
the Atlantic A storm, then, it
had been, said the men who tried to
read the rebus of the sea, such-a
storm as raises the waves of mid
Atlantic to height of fifty, sixty,
even seventy feet from crest to
trough. The Naronic had been
overwhelmed by one of these waves
and, staunch as she was, had wal
lowed for awhile, then dropped like
a plummet.-Robert Wells Ritchie
in Harper's.

TEN DAVIS ITEMS.

Especial to Caldwell Tribune)
A very interesting program was
given last Friday afternoon by the
Banty division of the school literary,
one of the important features being
an instrumental duet by Ivan Rasmus-
sen and Clurg Farley.
The Ten Davis high school boys are
talking of organizing boys wrestling
team. Plans are not yet definite.
Clara Farley was absent from school
one day last week on account of her
eyes.
A very enjoyable evening was wit
messed at the Pleasant View school
house Friday evening. The school
gave a short program after which a
box social took place. The proceeds
go to buy an organ for that school.
Miss Bertha Lee of this place and
Mr.. Joseph Staples of Ontario were

of Ten Davis young folks accompanied
them as far as Caldwell, returning on

having had very enjoyable honey
moon.
Mrs. Staples was one of the promi-
nent young ladies of the neighbor-
hood and was popular with all her
friends. She was the secretary of the

great deal towards its progress. We
all hope for her future happiness al

WoMEN'S WOES
Caldwell Women Are Finding Relief
at Last.

1t does seem that women have more
than fair share of the aches and
pains that afflict humanity; they must
keep up, must attend to duties in
spite of constantly aching backs, or
headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down
pains; they must stoop over, when to
stoop means torture. They must walk
and bend and work with racking pains
and many aches from kidney ills.
Sick kidneys cause more suffering
than any other organ of the body.
Keep the kidneys we'll and much suf-
fering is saved. Read of a remedy
for kidneys only that is endorsed by
people you know.

Caldwell, Idaho, says: about a month
ago | suffered from dull ache across

How to Reach a Hundred.

Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest wo-
man in the world, on her Nth birthday
anniversary, explained how to live to
be 100.
81 have never gone up into the cob
webs" said Mrs. Green, as she seated
herself in a chair beside the desk of
her son, Colonel E. H. R. Green, in
their Office on the sixth floor of Ill
Broadway.
"You can rely on me for the truth
and common sense. can tell you how
to live to be 100.
ITO live to any good old age, I
would prescribe for young people the
possession of first, good conscience;
second, good appetite for the best
food, plainly cooked, and third, good
will to others.
IF they will follow these rules they
will live as long as they want to-"
Mrs. Green chuckled as she united
the strings of her bonnet and said:
why, l have just saved one of the
most expensive funerals in New York.
This person l cured, as l have cured
many others. l succeeded in getting
her interested again in life.
"You asked me how l feel this
morning, Well, I've got the spunk of
20 men and feel five years younger
than on my last birthday. Much of
my present good health l ascribe to
the pres nee near me of my son, who
is great help to me.
Most of my girlhood friends have
gone. Even the two doctors who in
1865 said l could not live out that year
have passed away. Four of the trus-
tees of my fathers estate have died
and goodness knows how many law
yers who wanted to advise me have
been taken from earth.
"As everyone knows, my aunt and
my father died within nine days oil
each other. was scheduled to follow
soon. But God has spared me and
am very grateful. Do l believe ir
doctors?
II believe in them to a certain ex
tent, but l believe that work will cure
almost any ordinary malady."

The United States Land and Irri-

Coliseum is proving the most success
full and far-reaching land show yet ar
ranged in this country. Over $4,000
people were in attendance during the
first week of the show, these being
principally from Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Iowa, Michigan and other mid
die western states, and it is assured
that the states traversed by the Ore

attendance. 1t is safe to estimate that
the show will record an attendance of
over 100000 up to its close on De-
cember 9th.
The exhibits that are attracting
more attention probably than others
are those of the Union Pacific Oregon
Short Line and related lines in which
the fruits, grains, potatoes and other
products are strongly featured and at
tractively displayed. Friday, Novem-

and many hundreds of bushels of Ida ..

in attendance.
In addition to its great feature ex-

are given, illustrated with effective
