The national government now maintains up

Each of these stations is named by crew of

The vast majority of rescues effected by the
life-saving crews are accomplished by means of
lifeboats surfboats. These stanch craft which,
as now manufactured are almost unsuitable, are

COLD COMFORT FOR MOTHER
Comment of Boston Belle on Young
Mans Conduct Was Icy in the
Extreme.

General F. d. Grant, at a Wash
tons birthday dinner in New York
some years ago. told story about a
young Boston Tory.
This Tory" he said, fought during
the Revolution neither on one side nor
on the other. He took pleasure trip
on the continent, and he didn't come
back home again until the war was
over.
He was treated very coldly by soci.
ETY. on his return, and this grieved his
good old mother TO the heart.
THE dear old lady tried to explain
the matter one afternoon to Boston
belle.
Naturally. as the head OF the fam,
ily, she said, my son could not take
part In the war. To him fell the duty
perhaps the more arduous duty, oi

looking after the interests OF the es'

your son did-I'm such a coward!'"
