HARKING BACK A BIT
By Pick Smith

Attorney General William A. Johnston
the present chief justice-Mr. George
r. Peck-my employer at the time
Mr.. A L. Williams, and Mr.. w. H.
Rossington-for all of whom I had
worked more or Iess-if they could, con-
sistently, to give Judge Valentine a few
pointers as to whom he engaged as his
stenographer. They did so, and the
next time 1 called on him Judge Valen-
tine told me that I was his'n, and to
report April LIST for work
A few days later, / met the attor-
ney general-the present chief JUS
tice-on the avenue, when he led me
by the lapel of my coat into a stair
way leading to a dressmaker's estab
Hshment on the floor above, and, in
low and solemn tone said, Il nope
the good Lord will forgive me for all
the lies I told Judge Valentine in your
favor the other day. He said he
told him, among other things, that
1 spent all my evenings at home, and
that 1 was considerable of a student.
The fore part of that statement he
must have guessed at; but as for the
student" part he wasn't so far
astray as he might have been, as I
was in those times devoting a good
deal of time to the study of geom-
etry, paying much attention to angles
on a billiard table. But as Justice
Valentine evidently had much conf
dence IN WHAT IHe lneH attorney gen
eral said in regard to me, and 1 got
the job, 1 don't know why there is
any necessity for my harping away
any further on that subject. I deem
it no violation of the confidence re-
posed in me by the present Mr.. Chief
Justice, however, for me to add that
on a certain occasion when I men
toned early-day happenings and of
his assisting me in getting my job
under Justice Valentine, he laughing
ly suggested that L must have dreamed
all that about the stairway leading
up to the dressmaker's establishment,
and what 1 said he said to me therein.
Well, maybe did; maybe L did.

The THOUSAND SHIP.

Not SO very many years ago that
distinguished naval architect, the late,
Sir William White, surprised the
world by stating that if the conditions
of Transatlantic traffic called for a
1000 foot ship, it would be perfectly
practicable to build and operate a YES
sci of that size. Few of us at that
time dreamed that there would ever be
a call for such a huge vessel; vet so
rapid has been the development of
Transatlantic travel, and so indus
trious have been the dock and harbor
commissioners on both sides of the At
lantic, that not only is accommodation
in the way of channels and piers being
made ready for such a ship, but thanks
to the enterprise of the steamship
companies, the 1000 foot ship is with
in sight. The launch of the Vaterland
formerly known as the Europa) for
the Ham burg-Americ line has car
ried the Transatlantic liner up to with
in so feet of the 1000 foot limit sug-
gested by Sir William White as a re-
mote possibility. If we remember
rightly his statement was made at the
time of the appearance of the White
star liner Oceanic, the first ship to
exceed the length of the Great East
ern's (692 feeD and the first to ex-
coed the limit of 700 feet. Since her
appearance the progression has been
rapid. She was followed by the Adri-
attic, 725 feet over all: the Lusitania,
790 feet; the Oceanic, $50 n feet; then
by the Imperator, go feet; and now
ny lHlS sou IOOI snip. "A VeSSel
is building upon the docks at Stettin.
She is to be larger than the Vaterland,
and if her length is increased only by
the freeboard of the Vaterland at her
stemhead, this ship will have the dis
tinction of being the first 1000 foSt
vessel.
Frequently the question is asked,
what is the limit of practicable size?
How big will be the liner of 10 or 20
years hence? In reply it can be con-
fidently said that the physical limita-
lions are those only of the depth of
our entrance channels and the length
of our harbor piers. Judged from the
economic standpoint, from the point
of view of revenue earning for the
steamship companies, there is every
inducement to build these Transatlan-
tic liners in ever increasing sizes; pro-
vided, of course, that the speed be
maintained within reasonable limits.
1t may be broadly stated that the
larger the ship the less the cost of
carrying a given number of passengers
and given tonnage of freight. The
same principles which have led our
railroads to build so ton cars and 800
ton locomotives encourage our ship
builders to produce vessels 1000 feet
or more in length.-Scientific Ameri-
can.

Bowser to bear himself nobly in this

walked on for ten minutes before he fin
ally reached the door and got out. Mrs.
Bowser and the cat were waiting. The
silence of the evening was suddenly
broken by what seemed to be the gallop
of a horse along the sidewalk. 1t came
nearer and nearer, and there was a hitch
and a limp in the gallops it turned In
at the gate. Then there was rush up
the front steps, a bang at the door, and
Mr.. Bowser stood in the hall. He was
human wreck. He had got it bad. He
had met the enemy, and he was hisn.

that two men would conspire to do one
mans work. He cited case after case
where he had seen men climb three and
four pairs of stairs with no other loads
than a cookstove on their backs and a
dining room table in either hand, and
where he had seen two men make a
great ado about getting a thousand
pound safe on to the fourth floor.
All the employers asked for was a
square deal. They didn't expect any
one man to carry a whole vanload of
goods upstairs at one trip, but neither
was it fair or right that a man should
sweat from his brow or figuring how a
six-foot bedstead could be pushed up a
three-foot stairway.
The speaker did not sit down when he
had finished On the contrary, he edged
around to Mr.. Bowser and suggested
that another crisis was at hand. That
crisis called for more beer, and Mr..
Bowser met it, Then the president of

of the case. He didn't call it a case
where capital was sucking the lifeblood
of labor. 1t was that capital was
breaking labor's back by overlooking it
with bureaus and refrigerators. He
pointed to his bald head and declared
that his hair had been worn off by
