Hair Turned White.

The experiences of that night turned
Jamison's hair white. The Natchez
which had been hanging on the rear OF
the Lee all the time, was lost in the
fog. All night long he strained his ears
TO catch the whir of his rivals paddles
and the pumping of her pistons- At last
he became possessed with a fear that
the Natchez had passed. Not until he
was within eighteen miles of St Louis
did he know he had won.
There the Lee was met with a great
delegation from st. Louis. The fastest
boats in the hsrbor had come down to
escort the winner in.
Col. Hunter Ben Jenkins, at that time
second clerk on the Glasgow, which was
then plying on the Missouri River, was
on the water front to catch the time of
the winning boat. Mark Twain, the
author, also was there to take the time.
Jens<ias is now secretary of the National
American Association OF Masters and
Pilots. Harbor IS. Speaking of the fin
ish of the race, he said:
1T was glorious Fourth Of July. The
sky was clear and crowd Of 5000 was
on the river banks to see the finish. The
mate Of the Lee was a sawed-off fellow
with commanding voice. Proud of the
victory he shouted to the negroes as the
boat drew in. Launch out those stages,
the planks down which the passengers
go in disembarking. In those days there
were no swinging stages and they had to
be lowered by hand. They were all in
position to hit the ground when the Lee
scraped against the wharf boat.
The time was three days, eighteen
hours and thirty minutes. Capt. Leath-
ers was unified at his defeat. Instead of
coming to the landing he steamed up
stream for a mile or so and then turned
around and came back to the landing.
"A great banquet was given to the Of
ficers Of the rival boats at the old South
ern Hotel feathers at first declined to
attend the banquet, but later accepted
the invitation. Before morning he was
ready to take his defeat with good
grace"
feathers explained his>defeat was due
to the fog and to a broken pump. He
said otherwise he would have beaten the
Lee by twenty minutes had fate not been
against him. His pilots would not risk
the fog and he did not suppose Cannon
would be daredevil enough to do so.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MODERATE DEALINGS.

slight gain in the preferred stock and
further weakness in the convertible

M'LEAN A Hope"
Larry Was Afraid They'd Call His
Bluff.

Larry Mclean the large and lanky
Giant catcher. was playing with Seat
tie of the Pacific coast league q few
years ago when white hopes were
first in demand. A sport writer on one
of the Seattle dailies, finding news
scarce and having a lively ina ination
got together some art of Larry in
lighting poses and touted him as the
coming cheer of the white man. The
pictures looked great. Mclean is a
husgy brute, being about six feet give
in his nevertheless and weighing well
nigh 200. Much chuckling was done
by both Mclean and the sport writer
when the thing appeared However,
a Portland scribe saw the story and
had a bunch. He photographed RUDE
Vickers, the old Athletic pitcher in
similar poses and opined in his yarn
that Vickers could knock any cheap
Seattle catcher off his stool. Look
here. Larry said the Seattle scribe.
look here We can't let that Portland
guy get away with this. The next
time you play at Portland you walk
over TO the Portland bench, carry
two pairs of gloves with you and throw
a pair down in front of this guy Wick

A well-known druggist says every.
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an.
other application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant.-Adv.,
