HIS MILD REPRoOF.
The Mate Let thu Captain Down Easy
About His Mistake.

ABOUT IT'S MISTAKE.
The skipper was man who had a
good opinion Of himself and his no
tions. He had pulled through ship
wreck. mutiny and other perils of the
deep, but he came a cropper once. For
one Of his voyages he had shipped
boatswain's mate who bore something
of reputation.
One day the skipper ordered him
aloft to examine a sail on the royal
yard
"'Tain't safe. cap'nv' protested the
boatswain's mate. THE foot ropes has
got to be fixed first
"Do as | tell your Numbered the
captain. The foot ropes are all right
know they are"
The man went up.
Five minutes later he came tumbling
down through the rigging from the
top of the mast. a distance of over
100 feet.
With a bang he landed on the belly
of the mainsail and bounded into one
Of the canvas covered boats.
The sailors. thinking him dead.
crowded about him in a circle.
To their amazement he sat up.
His eyes wandered vacantly about
until they rested on the leathery face
Of the skipper. when they lighted up
with intelligence.
"Cap'n," he said slowly. you was
mistaken about them foot ropes."-

VALE OF THE WYE.
Glimpse Of an Imposing and Romantic
Spot In Wales.

SPOS IN " ares.
Those who travel through strange
places with their eyes and their ears
open are likely to make strange discov-
cries, but there are plenty of other
finds which, simply as a delight to the
senses and without any wonder or Gu
riosity attending them, are we'll worth
the trouble Of trying to forget ones
preoccupation in what he sees and
hears.
Both these pleasures Of travel come
to those who will fare slowly and op-
servingly through the Vale of the Wye
in Wales. 1t seems almost like chap
ter from some magnificent Apocalypse
to travel on to Cader and Plynlimon
and glimpse the imposing grandeur of
the visions that await the appreciative
eye. Half Of Wales seems to lie before
the traveller. The mountains OF the
Cader range loom loftily. and Snow
don. of the lakes, seems to beckon him
on. The long headland Of Carnarvon
hugs half sea in the crook OF its arm.
Pembroke's ragged capes gleam be-
yond the lovely mountainous heights.
No sound breaks the vast silence. You
are shut of from the busting world.
