GREATER THAN A KING.
The Old Mississippi River Pilot Was a
Law Unto Himself.


In that early day to be pilot was to
be greater than u king" The Missis-
sippi river pilot was law unto him
self-there was none above him. His
direction OF the boat was absolute; he
could start or lay up when he chose;
he could pass a landing regardless of
business there, consulting nobody, not
even the captain; he could take the
boat into what seemed certain destruc-
ton, If he had that mind, and the cap
tain was obliged to stand by, helpless
and silent, for the law was with the
pilot In everything.
Furthermore, the pilot was a gentle
man. His work was clean and physic-
ally light. 1t ended the instant the
boat was tied to the landing and did
not begin again until it was ready to
back into the stream; also for those
days his salary was princely-the vice
president of the United States did not
receive more. AS for prestige, the Mis-
sissippi pilot, perched high in his glass
Enclosure, fashionably dressed and COM
handing all below him, was the most
conspicuous and snowy, the most OBJ
served and envied creature in the
world.
No wonder Sam Clemens, with his
love OF the river and his boyish fond
ness for honors, should aspire to that
stately rank. Even at twenty-one he
was still just boy-as indeed he was
till his death-and we may imagine
how elated he was, starting up the
great river as a real apprentice pilot
who in a year or two would stand al
the wheel, us his chief was now stand
ing, II monarch with n splendid income
and all the great river packed away
in his head.-Albert Bigelow Paine in
ST.. Nicholas.

CARLYLE AND HIS WIFE.
A Glimpse of the III Assorted Couple
and Their Home Life.

A Glimpse of the III Assorted Couple
and Their Home Life.
1t Is certain that the Carlyles were
an i'll assorted couple. She considered
from the beginning that to marry him
was an act of condescension on her
part The daughter of a country doc
tor OF Haddington had descended from
the skies, like Diana to Endymion, to
marry the son of stonemason. 7"
But he loved her and was happy in his
love.
Not so she. Jealous of him as she
was--furiously jealous-not as lover.
for there she knew she was safe. But
she could not bear to think that If she
were famous 1t was as his wife, where
as she, knowing herself to be brilliant.
would fain have had him to be known
as the husband of that wonderful Mrs
Carlyle. 1t was his success. social and
literary. that she resented 1t irked
her to be in the second place, and she
could not forgive it. 49,
There was something else of which
the lady was Jealous. and that was the
agony of concentration which her hus-
bands work meant for him. At mo.
ments her ''saeva indignatio" against
that Carlyle" as she would contemp.
tuously call him, passed all bounds.
One day my aunt went to cali upon
her and found her in one of her tan.

asked. "Oh, my dear, it's just that

and on the steps OF the building he

Several OF his fellow laborers came
