81, the SiWash,
In a Wreck on Puget
Sound
By JOHN II. WALSH
Copyright by Frank A. Munsey Co.

81 is lying on my bunk, wrapped In
my Grand Army coat. His name really
amt 81; it's Tom. But l call him 81,
which is short for Siwash-a Siwash
being a Puget sound Indian.
81 is a Siwash all right, and, though
he's only four years old and he's half
breed, he looks like old Chief Seattle.
And he treats me as an equal-and he
gets away with it, too-though I'm
sixty-nine. That shows character.
And Sis had experience!
Take just this collision experience.
That won't come to anybody else for
ten thousand years, and here 81 has
had it before he's four.
Why, 1 have had enough adventures
myself, for I've been ship keeper on
the U. S. s. Stalwart here at the Sierra
navy yard for fifteen and three-quarter
years. But ST has me sewed up for
plenty on adventure, though l could
tell yarns Of my own.
But first I'm setting it down about
81, his ma and the collision Of the
Humahuma and the Stalwart. I'll tell
about myself when I've got leisure.
However, l do want to say in pass
ing, while l think of it. that ship
keeping is the most exacting work
there is. You have to know the name
of your ship, and to remember what
day is pay day, and when to come off
watch, and when to go on, and | tell
you it takes brains to keep all those
things straight in your mind.
Then once in year they complicate
things by putting your ship in a dry
dock or by changing her anchorage a
little, and you have to change your
habits, which Is hard And it's be-
cause it Is such exacting work as I've
described that they always keep re-
sponsible men like US old soldiers on
such jobs.
OF course it's a strain, and ! suppose
/ could not have held the job so long
if l didn't have iron nerves.
You see, l know myself that l have
iron nerves, because General Thomas
told me so when he saw me eating
bareback in trench during the Chick
amauga skirmish. And I've needed
my iron nerves in ship keeping. but
lot of people don't understand why.
For example, there is a gentleman
in Sheraton who digs CLANS with a
shovel and peddles them with a wheel
barrow, and he said once he thought
he'd try ship keeping for rest
/ laughed at him, and then | warned
him he couldn't stand it, which was
true too. However, I'm writing about
ST, and I'll write about digging clans
when 1 have time for it, for Pm as
good a clam digger as there is on
Puget sound, which is saying a lot
for all the smartest men out here were
digging clans twenty years ago.
Sis ma used to have an awfully hard
time making living, and from time to
time I've helped her a little at it, for

The "Antique" Craze.

Those of us who can afford it steal
and borrow and beg the arms, the
dress. the emotions of Greece and
Rome. Too often we hang their rot
ting trophies upon our walls, ignorant
Of their origin, unacquainted with their
meaning and not even sympathetic
with the emotions that produced them,
bent only upon the paltry respectable.

The Seven Wise Men of Greece.


The seven wise men Of Greece were
Thales Of Miletus, Fernandez Of Cor
inth. Cleobulus Of Lyndus, Chilon OF
Lacedaemon. Scion Of Athens, Bias OF
Prienne and Pittacus OF Mitylene
Some fishermen of Miletus sold draft
of fishes to d Dystander. When the
net was dra wn In IL contained a golden
tripod. and the purchaser claimed II
was his, while the fishermen contend
ed that they sold only the fish that
might be In the net The dispute was
referred to the oracle Of Delphi, who
awarded the tripod to the wisest man
in Greece. Thereupon 1t was taken to
Thales, who declined It and suggested
that 1t be given to Bias He In turn
refused to accept It, and thus It was
successfully declined by all the seven,
and they were thereafter known as the
seven wise men Of Greece.

In the highlands OF Scotland and In
ireland May was called Beltane.
This was the name of an ancient pa.
gan festival. traces Of which have sur
vived to this day. The name is still
used for May day In Gaelic Scotland
1t is said that the druids on that day
used to make two fires with great In.

tween them as a safeguard against
disease.

And never milestone shows,

FLAGLER LOOKED FAR AHEAD

When the LIE ,.enry NJ. Fla3lcr
proposed building railroad down
the east coast and across the gulf to
Key West very few, if any, ever
thought that it would be paying
proposition, but now such talk as the
following is nothing new: "The nat
ural growth of the Florida east
coast country is providing greater
tonnage than ever before. If there
has been a congestion in the past,
how much more so will that situa-
ton prevail under conditions than
have develonod as Just mentioned,
and will cont',n" = aevelco? There
fore the RAILROAD will have to furnish
more facilities or we will have to de-
pend upon water transportation. or

head was as long as his purse. More
and more it is ascertained that he
was Florida's great friend and bene-
factor.-Ocala Banner.

The State of New York, in the
draft of a revised and up-to-date
constitution, to be voted on by its
electors at the November election.
makes provision for the registration
of commercial travellers, railroad
employees and other voters, who fad
it impossible to be at home on the
regular registration days.
AS the laws are in most, if not all
of our states voter must be per-
sonally present to register on the
days the law designates for that
purpose, or he must go through the
cumbersome and annoying formality
of an oath, in order to vote; while.
if registered, he should be permitted
to send his ballot by mail if I'M
avoidably absent on election day
and have it counted
The New York proposed constitu-
tional amendment does not go SO far
as this, but it does provide for spec
ial registration as follows:
Laws may be made providing for
special registration therein On per-
sonal application before such boards
or officers as the legislature shall
designate, on a day or days not more
than five months prior to the day Of
election, of such electors as shall
then declare under oath that they
are engaged in a regular vocation or
occupation which will occasion their
from the county during each
Of the regular days of registration.
Such laws shall require electors SO
specially registered to establish, on
the first regular day of registration,
their continued right to vote in the
district for which they were
registered. but shall not require fur

 IS GOING TO COST
Charities Department Has No Way of Learning How
 Much Workmen Get.

The new Bridgeport a1nshouse is not likely to install a call box pro- tective system at SIS per month rental for five boxes and $1.5o additional per month for each extra box Mem 'bers of the board of charities who yesterday discussed the proposal at their monthly meeting, decided that If a high-priced watchman was to be kept, an interior system with out addi- tional espionage could be maintained by their own night watchman. There was also question. as to the price. be- ing standard. Commissi sioner Mat thew Judge was anxious to investigate prices to a further extent, Comnnis- sioner John MacLaren Richardson, an | isolated system and Commissioner William F. Behrens, Jr.,5 was willing to have the matter tabled Commis- sioner Henry Harris was not present. The communication was placed on the table for further investi tigation and discussion.
 The matter of paying Polyclinic hospital fees of $5 per week for a young man who had been sent to that hospital for treatment to his brain which it was said could be given by one of only three noted physicians in this. country was confirmed by the board.
 It was reported that the commit
 
 nittee of the Charities Organization society with a view towards procur- curing more uniform methods of in- vestigation reported progress.''I This attitude taken to infer that consid- eration> of the matter is still under way and that further inVesigation is being made.
 Search for the bond of the Osca- wanna Building company, which had been deposited with the Charities Board recently. has failed to reveal it's whereabouts. It was suggested that it might have become lost in, the amplif1ed filing system of the de- partment, which if true, may later result in a return to the older sys- tenn of keeping records in books.
 Bills for the month were approved, including the second payment to the Oscawanna Building Go, amounting to nearly $1O,o00. From report by Clerk Thomas Cox it would ap- pear that the total was $2O, ,2sO.27, greatly in excess of the average month The payroll amounted to $1,633.73; rents S1,067.34; outside poor $5,046.24; Lakeview home $2,- 076.1O; ambulance and emergency $57e.74:, hospitals and asylurns $s.-

S7S.1
 In discussing the amounts of money paid for labor at Lakeview home it was unofficiaIly stated that in all probability the actual cost of the building will not be known, ow- ing to the fact that grocery orders were given to 1a;borers, which being included in the outside poor account, cannot be tabulateds owing again to the fact that 1aborers receiving or ders did not want to cash them at once and it may be many months be fore they are finally included in bills sent to the department from grocery and meat market proprietors, when they will become involved with ex- penses of a, like kind.
 It was ordered that the state treas urer be asked officially by the board to exert all influence possible towards procuring graduaeton to the home for imbeciles at -Lakevil1e, owing to the increase of this class in the com munity.
