The city of Minneapolis Is fast be-

are men who are at times unable to
get employment, but who are willing
to earn an honest living. There are
many others, who are generally
known as idlers. They are no good
to our race, no support to the places
that tolerate them, or to themselves.

six days out from Portland. Oregon,
with story Of furious weather,
danger and disabled Thanks to the
wireless telegraph the period of sus-
pense was shot. With eighty passeng-
ers on board the Canine cleared from
Portland.
About 100 miles off Astoria, she ran
into a stiff southern gale which in
creased in velocity to so miles an
hour Heavy sea swept the decks and
the terrified passengers gathered in
the saloon, praying and weeping, The
gale ragged all night. Every plunge for
ward lifted the ships heel high out of
the water and at half past five Satur-
day morning the propeller dropped to
the bottom of the sea from the broken
shaft. At that moment the Canine
was Is miles off the shore with the
wind carrying her farther to sea.
IS. o. SIS. o. S. the wireless began
to splutter calling for help. In but
came an answer from the
Watson and in three hours the Wat
son was standing by. The sea was
still so heavy that it took two hours to
pass cable on board. After that the
voyage was uneventful.

any resistance. The upper reaches of

The Montenegrin army apparently
is ineffective at present.
The representatives of the powers
continue actively to confer and it is
now suggested that Intervention in

than an hour before that he would
call Becker to the stand.

murder. If you do that you will get
out, like we are, after the trail. If you
don't you'll be indicted and spend

What did you tell Rose about your
testifying for the state?"

six years, let alone six months, rather
than to swear Becker's life away.
Rose said, Well, just wait and see
