For the Benefit Of Jones.

Jones has a mine in Mexico;
He says there must be war;
Why should we let this outrage go,
And what's our army for?
We must protect that mine for Jones,
So, soldier man, prepare
To let the hot sun bleach your bones
In Mexico somewhere.
Jones was not ordered to invest
His money in that mine;
He merely took a chance at best,
But, soldiers fall In line!
Jones will not listen to delay.
His money is at stake;
War must be started right away,
Or something's bound to break.
We can't expect that Jones will fight,
He'll stay at home. good friends.
But shall those people have the right
To stop his dividends?
There must be intervention or
His money may be lost,
So, soldier man, prepare for war
No matter what the cost.
Let's tax the people, high and low,
And sacrifice our SONS;
Let wives and mothers wall in woe,
But order out the guns;
Rip Mexico with shell and shot
And strew the land with bones;
No matter what he price. we've got
To save that mine for Jones.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Victor Huga has said that he who
every morning plans the transactions
of the day and follows out that plan,
carries thread that Will guide him
through the labyrinth of the most
busy life. The orderly arrangement
of his time is like a ray of light that
darts itself through all his occupa
lions. But where no plan is laid
where the disposal OF time is surren
dered merely to the chance OF Incl
dants, chaos will soon reign.

fishing launch. came in Saturday
evening with the following persons
on board. Merit Hackley captain.

terton. Dick Fairchild and OFT Hol-
gate fishermen. The Fremont left
Newport on Monday morning with
sufficient grub to lest week. She
was going on a fishing excursion.
They first went out to the halibut
beds off Heceta Head. On Tuesday
morning a severe wind and rain
storm set in the worst ever known
SO early in this part of the country.
The wind blew from the south east
perfect gale at the velocity Of
seventy miles an hour. The boat
cast anchor but the anchor would
not hold. A drag was also put out
to hold the vessel in line.. Soon
the anchor was lost and the bat
drifted north. all the while little
off shore. Bosler was at the wheel
and captain Hackley at the engine
most of the time. The other men,
bers Of the crew were on deck or
in the cabin. The storm steadily
increased. the breakers ran noun
tain high and broke mercilessly
over the little vessel. 1t was hard
to stay, ON deck. sometimes the
water was two or three feet deep.
The nights were dark. The wind
blew and whistled through the
rigging. The ocean roared. /. 1t
was an awful night for the boys on
board, no one could sleep, nearly
all were seasick. The engine
stopped and Bosler left the VIII eel
and went down in the engine room
to see what was the matter and
there lying on the floor he found
captain Hackley in a stupor appar-
emily dead. He had inhaled too
much gasoline. With the assist
ance of Dick FairchiId he was TAX
en- on deck and placed in the cock
pit where after three hours Of hard
work he was sufficiently restored
to take his place at the engine.
All the time he was on deck the
great breakers were washing, over
him. Bosler said he was at the
wheel 48 hours, at times he was
up to the hips in water. OFT Hol-
gate was in his bunk so seasick that
he was unable to do any thing.
Fairchild was also sick with his
head lying on his mothers bible
engaged in prayer. Chatterton was
not sick and was doing what he
could to keep the vessel from going
down. Captain Hackley while ly-
