Freennan's Boat
Plays Him False
On A Joy Cruise
The Good Ship Cheese Be-
comes Ill In Midstream and
Seats are Used for Oars to
Get To Bank.

Chris Freeman and Irvine Wilson
went for a short cruise down the river
in the good ship Cheese" Saturday
afternoon, but it was Sunday morning
before they got back. They returned
home by land and on foot, but they
brought with them u thrilling story Of
their experiences.
The good ship, Cheese" is a motor
boat with bad reputation and a senilc
engine. They pulled away from the
foot of Themis street Just at . o'clock,
intending TO run down the stream for
few miles, shoot i bunch of mallards
and return.
Freeman was at the wheel and Will
son was acting as lookout. That is,
he was looking for ducks. Two gun
barrels were resting over the bow of
the boat and the engine chugged like
Ford motor car as it drifted down
stream.
Better put on the brakes, Chris, !"
murmured Wilson. 81 sec flock Of
birds swimming along the bank"
Freeman killed the engine as he at
tempted to pull toward the Missouri
shore. He fed more gasoline, turned
on the power, but the engine only siz-
lied
whats NATTER" chortlcd Wilson.
"Somethin's busted answered Free
man.
For more than an hour Freeman
worked on the engine, while the boat
drifted rapidly down stream.
Finally he suggested to Wilson that
they would have to fight for their
lives. In lieu of the lack of paddles,
they tore up their seats and pressed
them into service. They were in the
middle of the river and the current was
strong, but believing that it was a case
of life or death, they splashed the
boards into the water and heaved.
They didn't dare turn the craft too
quickly for fear it would be overturned
by the current, so they slowly swung
the nose of the boat toward the Mis-
souri, bank and pulled hard against
the waves.
For two hours they battled with the
water, finally getting the Cheese out
of the current and within swimming
distance of bank. Thirty minutes
later, Freeman seized an Overhanging
shrub and drew the boat to the bank.
They climbed out, tied the craft and
sat down to rest.

remarked Freeman, "but l have no
idea how far"

shoulder and started north. 1t was
moonlight and they walked close
enough to the river to keep moving in
the right sirection.
After an hour or so they struck the
drainage bitches. These assured them
that they were within ten miles of the
Cape Another hour, they reached the
rock cruSher in the southern end of the
city, where they persuaded the watch
man to summon an auto.
| They arrived in Cape Girardeau Just
as the sun was coming up, and as soon
as he could find buyer, Freeman sold
his $50 interest in the motor boat for

MARRIAGE In Japan.

A japanese husband Is allowed only
one wife, but to marry Is sometimes a
much more serious matter than with
US. Either the husband must be form
ally adopted into the family OF the
wife or the wife into the family OF the
husband, the couple being absorbed
into one family and subject to Its
discipline. As rule. this custom
weighs more heavily on the bride than
OH the husband. for she must not only
obey her husband. but every member
of his family Of an Older generation

often longs for old age. 80 that she

the best things about 1t Ia that expenses
are not high. They have boarding clubs
