In years past, before steam vessels
were as plentiful as now, the duties
of mariner were much more ardu-
Gus, and the dangers from the sea
more numerous, through many causes
that do not exist now, owing prlmar-
lily to the complete dependence upon
wind for propulsion having been elm
mated almost entirely. Through such
an uncertain means of propelling
power sailing ship was often placed
in a position to be wrecked under
conditions that vessels with steam
power. can easily avoid. Gains, too,
were the destroyers of short and
profitable voyages. On the other hand,

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
When Speaker Reed Raised Big Laugh

The sarcastic wit aimed and de-
livered with lightning-like swiftness
by Thomas Bracket Reed when he
was a member of Congress, against
William NJ. Springer, has passed into
tradition. 1t has already become an
American classic of wit. 1t may be
said for the benefit of those who have
yet to hear what it was that ME-.
Reed said to Judge Springer that the
Judge, in the course of character
ietic speech, declared that he would
rather be right than be President.
Instantly there came through the
great hall of the House of Repre-
sentatives in the characteristic nasal
twang these words:
you never will be either"
1t was like the flash Of a highly
tempered steel blade in the sunlight.
It was greatly relished by the MEM
bers of the House, especially those
who are fond of a joke at the ex-
pense of another than themselves.
So many Of the members were up
set by this sardonic .witticism that
only a few of them took heed of
Judge Springer himself They OBJ
served that he smiled, nodded his
head as though to affirm what
Speaker Reed had said and then went
on imperturbably to finish his
speech.
Several years later l met Speaker
Reed at a time when he was indulg-
ing himself in one of his comfortably
lazy moods, as he was accustomed
to describe this physical and mental
condition He was in excellent hui
NOR, and therefore 1 ventured to ask
him If there were any postscripts or
after-incideut< connected with the
Springer inciH<nt.
Springer" replied Speaker Reed,

was as loVable a man as I ever
knew. l first became acquainted with
him when we were serving as mem
bers of the committee appointed to
investigate what were called 'cypher
dispatches that were alleged to have
been sent in the presidential campaign
of 1875 between politicians in various
parts of the country, conveying init
nations that money was to be paid
for certain services.
ST was then serving my first term in
Congress. Springer had been a mem
Der two OF three terms longer. never
shall forget the consideration and
kindness Springer showed to me in
the first few weeks of my member
ship. That friendship was never in
terrupted If I had not known Judge
Springer well and had learned that
he was one of the few men who could
heartily enjoy joke made at his own
expense I should never have uttered
that remark. There were members of
the House who would have been griev-
ously Inundated, really wounded, had
fired a statement of that kind at
them.
Springer came to me a little while
after I spoke in that way, and with
real cordially told me that had got
the better of him, but that I should
wait and see, for the time would come
when he would return the compliment.
THAT little experience explains why
1t was that Springer served many
terms in Congress without mourning
single enmity, and I suppose it goes

ed popularity which he possessed in

We were on our way to Bussorah,
famous as the apocryphal home OF
Sinbad the Sailor and the prospective
terminus OF the Bagdad railway, says
writer in Chambers Journal.
Bussorah is the seaport of Bagdad,
from which it is distant about 50o
miles by river
Bussorah in the summer is nothing
less than a fiery furnace, for the tner-
mometer registers more than 100 de-
grees Fahrenheit in the shade during
100 consecutive days, and the mean
temperature. night and day, Tor up
ward of four months, is about 20
degrees.
Malarial fevers, dysentery and ague
are prevalent. and the town is IRE,
quently visited by plague ana
cholera; and yet, thanks to the cooi
winter and prevailing north winds,
the place is not essentially unhealthy
for those who are acclimated.
Europeans appear to stand the ell
mate better than natives, possibly be-
cause they take greater precautions,
are better housed and live more active
lives. The morality in the case OF
natives is high. especially among IN
fants. Europeans rarely succumD I'M
less carried off by cholera, of which
the epidemics in the last few years
have been unusually severe.
The governor general of the prov
ince of Bussorah had his private resi-
dence In the upper story of q fiimsy

the main road. The walls of his house
could not have been more than SIX
inches thick, and 1t was full of win
