Just as night fell ono of those sudden ac cidents occurred which mark tho nar row boundary between Hfo and death with the sailor. Tho mato had sent a man, Adolf Svendscn by name, out on the Jib boom on a minor duty and by some means ho lost his hold and fell. Life preservers wero thrown over but tho man seemed to make no effort to save himself and was drawn under by the suction of tho vessel and lost before a boat could bo lowered. The misfortuno cast a gloom over tho crew for death Is very impressive to tho few men cooped up between tho rails of a ship, and somo of tho elder sailors began boding ill-luck for tho voyage. "We'll never turn tho Horn," said old Pete, a confirmed pessimist. 1 had been cast in tho second mate's watch and was glad of It for I had sailed tho previous voyage under Mr. Owens, and ho had taken a fancy to me. Wo had many a yarn while walk ing up and down tho decks during the dreary hours of tho night watch. When ho camo aboard at tho India docks I noted a great change In his manner. In place of tho hearty, Jovial man I had known ho appeared down to tho water lino with trouble. His face was care-worn and his head drooped as If ho had a cargo of pig Iron stowed on tho back of his neck. During tho watches ho mado no of fer of talking and of courso a foremast hand has no business speaking first to an officer. The night after Svendsen's death I came up with my watch and began my tramp up and down tho starboard side. Mr. Owens passed mo several times without a word, then ho sudden ly grasped my arm. "'Avo you seen Svendsen?" ho asked, in a strained voice. "Svendsen." I exclaimed, "why, tho poor devil's drowned." "They como back," ho said. In a low voice, "drowned people como back. Hl'm expectln' to seo 'Im any minute." I am not superstitious, but tho earn estness of his speech and tho utter sllenco of tho sea made mo look fear fuly around. "Tho dead nover como back," I said, but not very assuredly. Wo took a turn or two along tho deck ho still grasping my arm and say ing nothing. "HI wish HI was in Svendsen's place," ho said, suddenly, "then Hl'd to hout of tho trouble that's to come." Tho manner of the man mado my flesh creep. "What's tho matter, Mr. Owens?" I asked. ' "Hl'vo no wife nor child," ho said, "but Hl'vo a sister that Hl'vo taken " 'Ave you seen Svendsen?" he asked In a strained voice, care hof since she was a kid. She married Jack Porter, as good a sea man as ever cussed a sogerin sailor, who's now mato hof tho Skylark. They've a nice little 'omo In South 'ark and she's a kid that's Just begin nln' to talk. Hof courso when I'm ashoro HI stay there and tho night before HI comes aboard this 'ere hooker HI was a slttln' in my room a Hstenln' to Kate slngln' tho kid asleep.

"HI don't want you to laugh at what IH'm going to toll," ho said savagely. "HI won't stand hit from no man." "I never laugh at any man's trou bles," 1 said, "and I seo you havo some." "Well, tho big cat sat dozln' on tho rug and HI was a listcnln' to Knto when the cat puts hup 'Is back and be gins to growl. " 'What's hup7" says I. " 'E got hup and begnn to cfreop to wards tho door, growlln' with 'Is back harched and 'Is tall a swellln'. Hi was afraid 'o'd go hln tho room whore tho kid was and wako Mm so HI catches m h a somo other tiny, I fn " Ms face was dead white." Mm by the scruff of tho neck and brings Mm back to tho rug.

Now, tho drift of hit Is that poor Jack's drownded and 'o camo to tell me." "That's an easy courso to lay," said I, "you fell asleep and dreamed it" "Hi tell you HI was wldo awake has HI ham now, and," with a disgusted Intonation, "do you think Hl'd dream hof a cat?" "Did you tell your elstor?" I asked "HI 'adn't tho 'eart," ho replied, gloomily. "Hlf HI could Hl'd a stayed 'omo with 'er, but Hl'd been advanced somo money on this voyage and 'ad to go. When HI thinks of poor Kato cryln' over 'er 'usband and that little kid HI wishes HI was drownded, too." "Svendsen's a wlfo hln Norway," he continued, after a pause, "and that's what brings hit so sharp to my mind. What's that?" "Only tho creaking of this brace." I said, but I had started as ho did at the sound. We bowled south at a good rate, but Mr. Owens became gloomier each day and I feared ho would leap overboard. It was his settled conviction that his brother-in-law was drowned. Ono right morning a man aloft shouted "sail ho!" and wo began to rapidly raise a bark on our leo quar ter. She camo within hailing dis tance when Owens gtvo a cry. "Hit's tho Skylark!" ho exclaimed. "Hall her, Mr. Owens," said tho mate, who was chipping tobacco. o,.,y "t tho trumpet to his lips hut couldn't uttor a sound. Ho hanuV od to tho mato, holplessly, and loan ed against tho rail. Tho mnto sont his ctrldont volco over tho water. "Skylnrk, Rangoon for London," camo back an nnswor to tho hail. "Hask Mm If Jack Portor'a nboard,' said Owens, huskily, then ho snntched at tho mato's arm, "No, don't ask. Hl'm oft-ald to 'car." It was too lato, tho interrogation had been tbundorod through tho trumpot "Yes, hearty as roast hoof, that's him on tho fo'castlo," wns tho reply, nnd tho bark filled away. Two years later I was a guost at tho christening of Mr. Jack Portor's second son, and Owens whispered to mo at tho church door: "Hl'd dlo 'nppy hlf nI knew what that thoro cat saw." BOY STRICTLY UP TO DATE. Knew Hlo Value and Was Ablo to lm press It on Others. A boy camo briskly Into tho ofllco, doffed his hnt and turned to tho boss.. "I understand that you want a boy, sir?" ho said. "What sort of a placo do "you want?" "Whore thoro Is as Uttlo work nnd as: it-:ch pny ns tho houso can stand." "Most boys who como hero aro willing to tako all work and no pay." "I'm not most boys." "Do you expect to got tho kind of a Job you wnnt." "No, sir; nobody gets what ho wnnts exactly, but It doosn't hurt him to expect a good donl." "What pay do you think you should havo?" "Thrco per week." "Tho other boys havo only boon paid $2." "How many did you havo last yenr?" "Eight or ton." "I thought so. Thnt's tho kind of a boy a two-dollar boy Is. I'm not that kind. I come, I hnng up my hat and stay." "Supposo wo should bounco you?" "I'll bo glad of It, sir. Yes, sir; if tho houso Isn't satisfied with tho right kind of a boy it isn't tho right kind of n houso for tho right kind of a boy to bo In. It's tlmo I was going to work If I'm going to work, and If I'm not, It's tlmo I left" "Well," concluded tho boss, "hang up your hat nnd go to work." Dividing the Work. Elder Ildgecomb wns for many years pastor of tho Freo Baptist Church In Vienna, Me., In which town lived a slmplo-mlnded man named Perry Wood. Ono hot Sunday In summer tho par son had occasion to admonish somo of his hearers for going to sleop during tho service. The next Sunday, whllo tho minister was In tho midst of his sermon, ho heard something whiz across tho room nnd strike tho wall. Ho continued his sermon, but kopt ono suspicious cyo on tho congregation. Soon ho saw tho slmplo-mlnded Perry, who wns sitting In tho stove room in tho rear of tho church, rise, tako an apple from his pbeket nnd bring his arm back preparatory for a throw at tho head of a sleeping deacon. "Perry Wood," exclaimed tho Irato parson, "you put that applo up, and If you ever throw another ono In this church I'll" "You hold right on, elder," broko In tho excltod Ferry, "you tend to your preaching and I'll keep thorn awake. What Was the Use? Thoro was once a man who said that ho would show his wlfo how to clean house; that ho cquld do it In half tho tlmo and with half tho troublo sho could. Ho would do It, ho said, for tho sake of avoiding tho annual upheaval and disturbance In their homo. And sho dared him to do it. So ho pitched in and took up carpets and beat them, and mopped floors and washed windows, and dusted pictures and cleaned cupboards and he fin ished tho work in less than half tho time sho took to do It But It availed naught. For she went all over tho houso after ho had finished, taking up car pets and taking down pictures and clearing out cupboards, to seo If he had done tho work properly. Even when a reformer accomplishes anything his accounts havo to bo aud ited. How It Turned Out. I went becauso It seemed to be A pleasant place to stuy Whore I could go nnd drink somo tea And wile tho hours nwny. The Rlrl appeared to be n, quite Refined und modest sort, But though I went thero every night I did not go to court. We sat upon the sofa and Tho lights wero burning low. At times I even held her hand No harm In that, you know; I surely thought so, anyway; It had no real Import, And I'm sincere now when I say I didn't go to court. I never thought she would be so Unprincipled and base; To me It waB nn awful blow. That broach-of-promlso caso. To pay her damages was gall, For payings' not my forte, I had to pay, though. After all I had to go to court. Helen's P. S. Helen had been taught to say hor prayers overy night, and tho llttlo prayer boglnnlng, "Now I lay rao down to Bleep," was tho prayer used. Ono day an old friend of tho family, "Aun tie Benson," camo to spend tho day, and on lonvlng askod Helen to remem ber her In her prayers. Holen agreed. That night, after asking that a bless ing should rost on hor mothor, father, grandparents, aunts, unclos, cousins, friends, etc., Helon roso from her knees. She walked jcross tho room, and Juiopod into bod. Then like n shot sho Jumped out again, sank down on her knees and oxclalmed: "Post script, tnd Auntlo Bensou!" PAPA'8 JUDGMENT WAS OFF.

Ho gavo him a gun and cigarotto coupons worth $2.50. Tho Boy was proud of tho gun, but ho thought Btlll moro of tho cou pons. "What aro you going to got with them, son?" asked Tho Boy's mother. "I don't know," snld Tho Boy. His mothor was about to offer a fow suggestions but Tho Boy's father interfered. "Just you lot Bob alono, ho said. "Lot him pick out his own prlzo. Ho knows what ho wnnts." "But ho'll got somothlng foolish," nrgucd tho practical mother. "No, ho won't," Bald tho father. "That boy's got tho boat Judgment of nny boy I ovor snw. Ho won't throw his money awny. Ho'll como homo with something useful something that ho needs right on tho spot. 1 wouldn't bo afraid to bet on that." So tho mother finally gavo In. On Saturday Tho Boy wont down town to exchange his coupons for n prlzo. When ho camo homo tho family was gathorod at tho dlnnor tablo talking' nbout him.

Vory'gonoral Interest hns boon man ifested In tho government lnvostiga- f tlon now In progress Into tho modo or conducting business by tho largo pack ers located In Chicago nnd elsewhere. Much hns been written upon tho al logod Illegal and improper modes of business proceduro connected with tho packing Industry; but It scorns that so far no doflnlto charge of any kind has boon sustained and no proof of Illegal or lncqultablo methods has been dis closed to tho public. Whllo a wavo of sovero criticism of this groat Indus trial Interest Is now passing over tho country It might bo well to remembor that tho packers havo had as yot no opportunity to mako specific denial, tho many lndoflnito charges of wrong doing having nover boon formulated bo that a categorical answor could bo mado. Tho recent report of Commissioner Garfield, which embodied tho results of an official Investigation undortaken by tho Department of Commerce and Labor of tho United Statos, was a vin dication of tho Western packers, but this result having been unexpected at tempts In many quarters to dlscrodlt It woro mado. In vlow of tho situation aB It now stands, however, nttontlon may proper ly bo called to n fow facts that owing to popular clamor aro now being ap parently overlooked. Fair treatment Jn this country has herotoforo beon ac corded to all citizens whoso affairs as. sumo promlnonco In tho public oyo and somo of tho facts that bear upon tho rolatlon of tho packers to tho com morco of tho country mny at this tlmo bo briefly alluded to. It would bo difficult to estimate tho benefits gained by tho farmers of tho country result ing from tho enorgotlc enterprise of tho packors, for whatever 1b of benefit to tho farmer Is a gain to tho ontlro commorco of tho country. And con nected with their continuous aggres slvo work no feature perhaps has beon moro Important than their efforts In seeking outlets all ovor the world for tho Burplus products of tho farmer. Our total exports of agricultural prod ucts havo gained but llttlo In tho past twenty years, and leaving out corn, tho total of all other farm products was far less In 1003 than In 1891. But In packing houso products thoro waB considerable gain during this period, because an organized and powerful forco hns been behind thorn socking now and broader markets. Besides tho benefits reaped by farm ers on account of tho ontorpriso and energy exorclsod by tho packors in at taining commercial results by foreign trado, tho great development In tho manufacture of packing houso by-products has added enormously to tho valuo of all live stock raised In tho United States. Tho waste material of twenty years ago, then an expenso to tho packer, Is now converted into ar ticles of great valuo, and, as an eco nomic fact, this must correspondingly lncreaso the valuo to the farmer of overy head of cattle marketed at the numerous stockyards of tho country. Let theso facts bo remembered while now it is so popular to regard tho great packing industry as deserving of condemnation At least it must bo ad mitted that, bo far, there Is no ade quate reason for tho almost unani mous howl that may bo heard every where In tho faco of the Garfield re port abovo alluded to which practical ly exonerates tho packers from tho ob scure and Indefinite charges that have been for somo tlmo past mado tho sub ject of popular comment Iwcrlcan Homestead.
