BENNIE's GRANDMOTHER.

Bonnie was a little newsboy. He
did not have a father or a mother:
and he never remembered having them.
He slept anywhere that he happened
to De when he was sleepy, unless. like
was told to move on" If he made
money enough. ne had a good meal
once a day and. If not, he ate what
ever he could afford.
Most of the boys talked of a mother
or an aunt, or a grandmother, m Ben
ME decided from what he heard that
he would rather have a grandmother
than anything else, If he could have
his choice.
One day while he stood on a corner
with his papers he heard one of the
news boys call out: Look at the old
woman slidin. and the other boys
laughed. Bonnie saw an ole lady with
the icy sidewalk and h was slipping
at every step.
Bonnie waited, thinking some gentle
man would help her. for she was
dressed in comfortable clothes and did
not look poo and Bennie hesitated
about Offering to assist her, but when
he saw that no n noticed her, he ran
to her and said "In help you ma'am;
lean on me and I will carry your bas-
ket."
"Oh, look at little Bent" called the
boys. That your grandmother, Benz

LIEUTENANT sAAckLE1oN AND ROUTE HE WILL TRAVERSE.

When Lieutenant Shackelton goes to
the antarctic next fall it will be with
the most perfectly planned expedition
ever organized for polar work. Moth
ing has been overlooked. He will take
with him wireless apparatus, an aero
plane and moving picture machines.
Famous explorers n scientists will be
bered among his party. The eXpe-
dition will cost $3.50, 900 and will occupy
six months, during which time Lieut..
Shackleton hopes to rev cal the mys-
teries of 5,000,0 900 square miles of UNI
known land.
The object of my new expedition is
to cover the south polar continent. an
unknown territory of 5000, 900 square
miles from the Weddell sea to the Ross
sea, a distanct of LOO land miles, said
half the distance will be on a positively
new route. 1t will be the biggest polar
journey ever attempted.
THE expedition will leave Buenos
Ayres early in October, 1914, and reach.
if possible. IS degrees south latitude,
where good landing place was
discovered by the German ex-
ire favorable and we make a
good landing by the beginning of No
vember the shore party will land and
proceed Immediately across.
"Once the pole is attained from the
Weddell sea. the rest Of the journey
from the pole to the winter quarters on
the Ross sea will not be difficult. In
this case I should hope to come out on
h other side of the continent in the
Ross sea in March. 1915.
Neither of the ships will winter in
the Antarctic. The Weddell sea vessel.
after landing it's party. will go back
when the navigation season is over, to

The trip would take from 40 to 60
hours and could be made without

include the carrying of from three to
SIX passengers. The starting place L

landing should be mad in New York"
Grahame-W White recently declared
that the ocean trip would require a
triple h%ydroplane with four $50 horse
power engines, so if one or even two
stopped the fight could continue.

"Then / should like to go, and will

said the old lady.
So Bonnie found a home and a grand
mother because he was not ashamed to-
help an old lady when the boys were
looking.

Cargo Mahogany
and Cedar Logs
on Big Steamer

Ten days out from Belize, Br Hon
duras, the British steamship Chiswick
| Capt. Hardy, arrived yesterday, tax
ing an anchorage opposite what is
bay, until boarded by the port ply
stefan, and being released at 6 o'clock
in the afternoon. Capt Frank Bo-
gbich, one of the deputies in the har-
bormaster's office, made the trip across
the bay to the Chiswtck, and piloted
the big vessel over to the city, dock
ing her at a berth on the west side
of Commandment awharf, where cargo
of 1855 mahogany and cedar logs will
be discharged
ing, a customs inspector, 0. A. Bailey,
boarded her and made formal inspec-
ton as required by law. Soon there
after scores OF white and colored
workmen swarmed aboard and during
the night, three gangs worked dill
gently, pitching the huge logs into the
water, where they were caught by a
boom which had been previously
thrown across the slip. The entire
cargo will thus be discharged. and
there was a wager made last night
that the steamer would be without
log of her present consignment Of
cargo by Friday afternoon.
Wharfmaster A. S. Cox was per-
sonally in charge Of the starting of
the work. directing the rigging up

hours aboard the steamer.
Officers aboard the Chiswick
laughed at inquirers when they were
asked about trouble down near the
port whence they steamed ten days
ago Just as quiet and peaceful as
a Sunday school," one of them said.
The shipment is one of the usual
consi gnments to the firm of c. G. Men
gel Brothers, Louisville. KY, and the
report was brought that the forest"
whence came the present cargo was
not molested in the raid" of Mexican
bands, which occurred some eight or
ten days ago. THE greasers did not
cross the line. but confined themselves
to operations in Mexico. These logs
came from Belize. which, I believe. is
really British possession" That was
one opinion advanced.
There are twenty-five Cinnamon
board the Chiswick. the Chinks filing
every position on the ship except that
of three apprenticeships, and five or
six officers. To guarantee their re-
naming aboard the ship, a Waterman
was engaged last night, and will be
continually on duty during the stay
of the ship here Cinnamon are barred
from entry for residence in the United
States. but there is no objection to
the celestials taking a walk or walks

touch. bit the steamship company Is
for the safe conduct out
of the country. and should all of them
be not accounted for when the steamer
is ready to leave port. stiff fines on

suit.

SevenMore Seals
Placed in the Pen
at Bayview lark

| Seven seals, snatched up from the
| coast Of Mexico upon an order from
| Mayor Greenhut, were brought into
| port early yesterday aboard the fishing
| smack Seminole, Of the Warren Fish
| Company, and as early as ! O'Clock
| in the morning, the mayor was at the
| dock to look at the animals and make
an inventory of the new property for
| a venture in which the city is now
enbarking Satisfied that the animals
were all right. Mayor Greenhut ar
| ranged for their transportation to Bay
view Park, this being done during the
| day There are now eight seals in
the enclosure at the bathing centre.
The mayor stated yesterday that the
increased livestock" forced an en-
| Iargement Of the space wherein they
are kept, and this job would be started
at once men having been engaged
yesterday to start on the work this
morning. The enclosure holding the
animals will be extended eastward
from the site Of the present one. and
this will give spectators an oppor
tunity to see them from the pavilion
and from the wharf.
The pen where they are kept ex-
tends considerably into the water, en-
abling the animals to either complete
lly immense themselves, remain one
half immersed, or else crawl out on
the dry land, where baslSing in the
Florida sunshine, they seem to get
along as contentedly as if they were in
their native haunts on the shores and
reefs off the coast Of Huerta's present
war ridden country.
The main diet of the animals as
may have been supposed. is Ash, and
now as there are seven more, and
one Of them huge animal of the
species, the chances are that the city
will have to contract for daily tubsful
Of fish, to keep the entire number
from perishing. The wire mesh Of
lie made lie quite
too small to permit the entry of very
large fish if any at all. and conse-
quently the food for the animals will
have to be furnished.
