LONG TRIP OF THE ARYAN.

A 15,OOO-mile passage from Seattle to
Boston in lao days was completed Octo-
Der 18th by the full-rigged American
ship Aryan without touching at any in
termediate port. Though hailing from
Bath, the Aryan is owned by E. P. Car
yer of Boston and is the last wooden
sailing vessel to be given United States
registry. She brings cargo of Oregon
pine and spruce, nearly all the consign-
ment being intended for masts and flag
stats.
A sky-scraping clipper is the Aryan,
built for speed rather than burden.
Shortly after getting into the open Pa
cific it was deemed prudent to tighten
weights aloft, and the skysail yards were
sent down to cure crankiness resulting
from the big deck load, according to her
crew. But she demonstrated speed and
ability, rounding Cape Horn in "a hours
with blizzard at her stern and all hands
watching for icebergs.
The 16 men in the crew have dropped
two months pay, one to the boarding
agent and another on Stops from the
quarterback chest. The sailors will each
have about 500, however, with which to
see the sights.
'I'm mighty glad to be here" declared
Capt. Maclachlan as the Aryan's cable
rumbled on East Boston flats.
Eyes, we've Travelled fully 10000
miles. The route is much shorter, say
$1,000, but we bucked head winds and
had to zig-zag.
81 went from New York to Seattle to
bring the Aryan here. She will not be
converted into barge, at least not right
away.
"My wife? Yes, she's with me. This
is her second long passage in sailing
ships. Our home ashore? We haven't
any home except where we hang our
hats"
Not since 1904 has full-rigged ship
flying the American flag entered the port
Of Boston.

HARD LUCK OF THE IZETTA.

Capt. William Murphy of the schooner
Izetta which is now anchored in the roads
has come to the conclusion that this is his
hoodoo trip, says Portland paper. Al
ready two accidents have happened to the
craft since she made the Maine coast and
the skipper is not SO sure but what there
may be third one before he leaves these
regions:
The Izetta is on her way from New
York to Boothbay with coal She got
headed for the latter port all right, but
Tuesday morning the weather was so
bad that Capt. Murphy decided to come
into Portland for shelter. He had hardly
decided upon this, when squat struck
him and ripped his jib to ribbons. He
was off Outer Green island at the time,
but made the harbor without trouble.
Tuesday night, the schooner Harold C.
Beecher, which came in for harbor on
her way to New York, ran a little too
close to the Izetta and poked her jib-
boom through the latter's mainsail. The
skipper Of the Beecher saw that some
thing was going to happen, but he was
too near to stop, especially as the granite
which the craft carried made her rush
on VIXEN more lightly loaded craft
would have stopped. The damage was
confined to the mainsail. 1t looks now
as if Capt Murphy of the Izetta would
have to have whole new set of rigging
for his craft before he leaves port.

NEW GARRISON AT FORT KNOX.

Old Fort Knox, near Bucksport, has
a new garrison. The old garrison has
completed its term of enlistment and
been retired. Last week Ordnance Sergt.
John O'Rouke turned over the govern
ment property to Ordnance Sergt John
c. Meredith of Boston, and left for his
old home in Michigan. Sergt. O'Rouke
has been the garrison" of the obsolete
old fertilization, which was built to
guard the entrance to the Penobscot
river, for II years, having been appoint
ed to the post to succeed the late Ord
nance Sergt. Leopold Hegyi.
Sergt. O'Rouhe has been soldier for
80 years, and now retires on half pay.
He has seen service all over the country,
has fought Indians and served with his
regiment, the 18th Infantry, in the
Spanish War, and was wounded at Ell
Caney.
The vacancy at Fort Knox happened
about the time the government was
looking about for a reward for Sergt.
O'Rouke, and he was sent down to
Maine. The duties at Fort Knox are
not burdensome. The flag must be kept
flying, the hay crop harvested from the
parapets and batteries, the guns and the
few old cannon balls that are left, given
an occasional coat of paint, and reports
made.
The sergeant's residence is a comfort
able cottage that cost $4,000 and was built
but short time ago. The sergeant in
charge gets $55 month pay, wood, coal
and lights. He can send his children to
nearby school and enjoy the advan-
tages of the village of Bucksport, Just
across the river. Although rather
monotonous station to an active soldier,
it is said that there have been MANY
applicants whenever a vacancy existed.

COLD STORAGE CHICKENS.

The cold storage system has many ad-
mirable and indisputable points, but
should we not have bargains offered like
this: Fresh chicken CSC. h., marketable
chicken 25c., chicken 2Oc., cold storage
chicken Zone Year, &c.,, cold storage
chicken (cost Soc. two years ago. 12c.
With this cold storage product selling at
its relative value, chicken actually would
prove very economical purchase, and if
a man is willing to wait sufficient num-
Der of years he might have chicken three
times week and find it cheaper than
dirt.
From time to time in the past we have
heard chanted the praise of old wine, old
friends and old song, but to this vener-
able trinity should be added old cold
chicken.
The Commissary General at Washing
ton reports that last year he saved $52,-
900 for Uncle Sam by cutting chicken
(real chicken) from the menu of the
army. Now if there is anything to this
cold storage theory he could put chicken
back and save the country an even great
er sum-but there might not be any army
at the end Of the year. Boston Globe.

A SETTIN' HEN.

A SETTIN' HEN.
When hen is bound to set,
Seems as though faint etiket
Dowsin' her in water till
She's connected with chill,
Seems as though twas skursely right
Givin' her dreadful fright,
Tyin' rags around her tail,
Poundin' on an old tin pail,
Chasin' her around the yard
Seems as though twas kind of hard
Bein' kicked and slammed and shoo'd
Cause she wants to raise brood.
l sh'd say it's gettin' gay
just causeinatur' wants its way
While ago my neighbor Penn
Started Dustin up hen.
Went to yank her off the nest;
Hen, though, made peck and jest
Grabbed his thumb-nail good and stout
Like to yank the durn thing out.
Penn he twitched away, and then
Tried again to grab that hen;
But, by ginger, she had spunk,
Cause she took and nipped chunk
Big's bean right out his palm,
Swallered it and cool and calm
Histed up and yelled "Cah- dahl
Sounded like she said, "Hoo-rah."
Well, sir, when that hen done that
Penn he bowed, took off his hat
Spunk just suits him, you can bet.
"Set." says he; "gol durn y. set"

in regard to the wholesale destruction of
alewives caused by their passing through
the mill wheel of the Leatherboard Co.

On his face an then
Streaked it from the red ink bottle,
Just like circus men.
An his uncle said, says he:
BEST clown ever he did see"
Some-they set aroun' on boxes,
Some on old oak logs;
But-we had two cats for monkeys,
An they don't like dogs.
An when things wuz runnin' right
Them two cats sailed in for fight.
Orter seen the fur a-fyinl
"Towser" howled, an prince"

An jest swallered up the clown!

Till the true-true circus comes.

Jolly lingles.



The German band. in the MONDAY heat,
S1opped on Q corner of the street.
b rkenheimer and Mederwurst
With comets under their arms were frst;
Next Schmidt with clarinet that shone;
Then Hans Won Beck with a great trombone;
While after them there would always come
Little Dutch Fritz with his big bass drum;
And, a. the gathering crowd ne eyed.
blrkenheimer. the leader, cried:
"Ein-xwei-drei-so!
Vier-funf-led her go!"
Then woompety -woompety-w oomp they went.
And, folks, wherever they took their stand,
Would always say, when they heard them play!
Windows few open at the sound,
And rollicking children waltzed around;
The gan-grinder across the way
Fled with his monkey in wild dismay;
Wagne. and Meyerbeer's pleasing tones
Cheeks swelled to cracking and eyes popped
As bars of music were put to rout.
They gasped moment for breath, and then
Birkenheimer cried out again;
"Ein-zwei-drei-so!
Vier-funf-led her go!'
Then bingety- bingety-bing they went.
And folks, wherever they took their stand,
Would always say. when they heard them play.
There was nothing to equal the German band!
Mrs. Alderman Hogan from her fiat
Threw down dime when they passed the hat;
Mrs. Rafferty, never gave cent,
For it was the day she paid her rent;
The little Rooneys, who shared alike
In copper, the gift of their uncle Mike;
Whispered something and then began
10 look for the hoky-pok man;
And Birkenheimer, who shook his head
While counting the proceeds, once more said:
"Ein-zwei-drei-so!
Vier-funf-led her go!'
And folks, wherever they took their stand,
Would always say, when they heard them play
There was nothing to equal the German band!
