She had sailed up Nar r***tf«t in broad daylight the day be fore and come to anchor off the coal pocket at ten o'clock in the forenoon. AM day she lay at anchor, not far from the channel. In full view from the harbor and the shore. No one had taken the trouble to read her name and she was passed for a visit ng fisherman. Twenty-Four Safely Landed. Sixteen more Chinamen were found hidden In the hold. The remaining 24 had already made their escape. The state of her hold, where 42 Chinamen had lived for eight days, was a shock even to the hardened customs men. A fishing craft cf less than 100 tons does not have much room below decks, and at her best the mixed odor of fish and bilge water makes it an undesir able place in which to lounge away an afternoon. The Chinamen slept on the floor, packed solid like spoons in a box. with hardly an inch of room to turn in. For four days of her voy age the schooner had worked her way through fog. in waters that were frequented both by fishermen and st-amers. Any moment a vessel might ! come upon her. and the captain did not i w ish to have his passengers seen upon I hi.-* decks. So during those four days I the Chinese had stayed shut up in the hold, with only such light at.d air as found their way down the hatchway. Except for the fog. which kept her a week at sea. and the smell of the passengers, which drove the crew nearly to mutiny, she had an easy pas ■ «%ge after that, and was not interrupt l ed till the government men captured her off the Providenoe coal pocket. The captain and two of his accom plices were tried and sent to prison. The captain testified that their profits, j if the trip had proved successful, would have been $15,000 over all expenses, ; including $250 apiece to the crew. Every one of the 18 Chinamen swore i in court that he had lived for many i years in America, that he had qualified | to return under the law, but that the : papers to prove it had been lost in the big fire" in San Francisco. On the Pacific coast the "running" l of Chinamen by sea Is oftener tried j and oftener detected. The slender. I swift schooners that ply in the “island | trade" among the scattered groups of the South Seas are excellently ntied for the work. A few years ago one of these craft, suspected of having Chinamen on board, was chased down the coast from Puget sound by a rev enue cutter. The cutter was gaining, but night came on before she could get within gunshot. Coolies Tossed Overboard? She kept up the search even after the schooner had been lost in the darkness, and presently, at moonrise, sawr the fugitive vessel again stand ing off shore. The cutter overhauled her. The captain was in great rage at being held up on the high seas. When the revenue men insisted that they would search her, he protested still more violently. They went through her from stem to stern and found noth ing whatever that should not be on a homew’anl bound trader. A week later two dead Chinamen were washed ashore 30 miles up the coast. The federal agents in Van couver learned that a band of 15 cool ies had been seen making their way lo the waterfront early in the morning the day the schooner sailed. Consider ed as evidence, the two facts make slender proof, but the sailors along the coast believe that the Chinamen were thrown over from the schooner and left to drown as negroes were thrown over from slave ships in the old days when every vessel that carried "black ivory" was counted as a pirate by the law of nations. Roth Canada and Mexico admit Chinamen, though the former imposes a tax of $500 a head on all who re main in the country for more than three months. Of late years, up to the beginning of the present trouble. Mex ico has furnished a more popular base of operations for the smugglers. It was a month or more ago that a gov ernment launch boarded a schooner which had sailed with Chinamen from Lower California. No Chinamen were on board, though certain sights and some not uncertain smells made the officers believe that they had been there not long before. Again the story was widely circulated that the China men had been thrown overboard. Again, it was only two weeks ago that a launch with a party of fisher men—a playwright, an aviator and a steamship man—saw a scrap of canvas waved violently on a little barren island off from San Diego bay. They put in for it, and found ten Chi nese. Six threw themselves forward on the ground and screamed an appeal for help. Another had gone mad. and was shrieking, writhing and throwing stones into the sea. Ten Days Without Food or Water. There were sharp rocks all around the islet, and in the heavy sea the launch dared not try to land among them. Frank Pixley, the playwright of the crew, tried them with what little Chinese he knew, and gathered that they had been wrecked there ten days before, and had been without food and practically without water ever since. What the vessel was or what had become of ’ er crew he could not understand. The men in the launch threw their water cask ; among the breakers, where It floated l to the beach, and filled a bag with ! the remains of their luncheon and I tossed that on the rocks. The gov eminent launch came next day and took the Chinese off. Thinks Collars Should Go. If the anarchists only appreciated the really vulnerable point, what a cur’ous revolution they might work! If they knew what was real^ good for their cause, what would vastly augment their power, they would save time and breath in declaiming about equality, or in clamoring for collectiv ism, or in prating about an equal distribution of goods—they would simply abolish the collar. That is the true line of demarcation, the real barrier between the classes and the masses. Never trouble to cut off a man's head when to cut off his collar would be so much more effective. Your-culotte would be as nothing to your sans-collier. For when we once begin to abolish distinctions, those outward and visible signs—then the inward strengths and graces will sooner or later go as well. And what is so obviously and helplessly demo cratic as the collarless man? The collar gone, everything seems to be forgotten and disregarded, and to be collarless Is to be truly equalized, simplified, leveled.—Harper's Weekly. The Real Reporter. When the chief reporter of the Pop pleton Post bought an aeroplane, the proprietor summoned the editor to discuss his successor. "For. of course,” observed the pro prietor, "we shall soon have a va cancy." “How about Jones?" suggested the editor. “Jones?” queried the proprietor, doubtfully. “I thought he was rather a failure.” “On the contrary, he’s one of our most promising recruits,” replied the editor. “Yes, Jones is a genius, sir! You remember the Smalham railway smash? Well, Jones found the broken rail that caused the disaster three hours before the express was due. He sat down by the line, wrote up the account while he waited, and sent us his report the very minute after the wreck took placet” Tale of the Supreme Court 1 George F. Parker Tells How President Cleveland Offered the Chief Jus ticeship to John G. Carlisle, Before Naming Fuller. It has always been the popular pre sumption that since the time when John Marshall was appointed chief Justice of the United States (that is the legal title for the office of chief justice of the Supreme court) only one person has ever declined the offer of the chief justiceship—Senator Roscoe Conkling of New York. It was widely published at the time of the incident that President Grant had offered the post of chief Justice to Senator Conk ling. The letter in which the offer was made was preserved as one of the choicest of the papers which came into the possession of Senator Conk ling’s literary executors. But the popular belief that Senator {'onkling is the only man who ever re fused to become chief Justice of the United States is erroneous, and I have for my authority for this state ment Mr. Gedrge F. Parker, the biog rapher of Grover Cleveland, a close friend of Mr. Cleveland’s for nearly 30 years, and one of the few friends ad mitted Into perfect intimacy with Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Parker not only tells here, for the first time in print, who the other man was who refused the chief Justiceship, but also how it came about that Melville W. Fuller became chief justice of the United States. “After the death of Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite in the latter part of Mr. Cleveland’s first administra tion," said Mr. Parker, “Mr. Cleveland, after giving much thought to the nom ination of his successor, decided to name John G. Carlisle for the post, provided Mr. Carlisle revealed a wil lingness to accept the honor. Mr. Car lisle, at that time, was speaker of the house of representatives and Mr. Cleveland had come to entertain a very high regard for him as a parlia mentarian, a legislator and a lawyer. “Having arrived at this decision by taking counsel wholly with himself. Mr. Cleveland took the first oppor tunity to place before the speaker of the house his desire to place him on the Supreme court bench, and in the highest place on that bench. Mr. Car lisle greatly appreciated the tentative offer, but he decided that it was not expedient for him to accept it; very likely he had in view a political ca reer of a different kind, one with a vista that reached to the White house itself. But this much is certain—had he been willing to accept the office he—and not Melville W. Fuller—would have become the country’s chief jus tice in 188S. “Nor, I presume, is it generally known that after Mr. Carlisle declined the chief justiceship, the president for Last Days of Knowledge That He Had Hereditary Disease of Eyes Checked Evarts* Career in Senate and Drove Him From Public Life. No man, since the days of the Civil war. ever entered the United States senate with greater prestige than did William M. Evarts. For years he had been recognized as the leader of the American bar; he is to be numbered among the few great lawyers who are assured of permanent recognition of his career. He had been the spokesman for the nomination of William H. Seward for the presidency of I860. During the Civil war he bad been sent on a dip lomatic mission to England by Pres ident Lincoln. As President Johnson s senior counsel, he did much to secure Johnson’s acquittal in the great im peachment trial. He had beeen attor ney general in Johnson's cabinet, and secretary of Btate under Hayes. He had served as the leading counsel for the Republicans before the electoral commission appointed to decide the Hayes-Tilden presidential election. He had been chief counsel for his country before the famous Geneva court of arbitration, and the cause for which he pleaded had triumphed. But Mr. Evarts had not been in his seat in the senate long before his colleagues began wonderlngly to whis per among themselves, saying: “Has this great man found himself in an unfamiliar place? Are his abilities ex clusively those of a great lawyer, or diplomat? He seems to be lapsing in to a spirit of indifference.” After Senator Evarts retired from the senate, in 1891, he gradually be Traveling Educators.

Large Sums Squandered In a Millionaire’s Home the Servant*’ Hire Is a Small Fortune Yearly. It Is s curious fact that while the knowledge that the very wealthy are squandering princely sums on their daily living, makes a certain propor tion of the unsuccessful and needy will nigh mad with envy, they are never theless curious as to those very ex penditures, and like to hear details concerning the upkeep of their great establishments. In a millionaire’s home costly as all the departments in snch a mansion must be, still, the kitchen is the one where there is the greatest constant outlay. There is the housekeeper at $75 a month, who has complete charge of the mansion. She engages the chef at $100 to $150 a month. He hires his assistants, a first kitchen maid at $30 a month, a second kitchen maid at $25 a month to cook the food for the serv ants, a third at $25 a month, who cleans vegetables, washes cooking dishes, and other helpers. Then as the buffer between kitchen and upstairs, is the handy man. He fetches the coal, dusts, washes win dows and cleans the paint. Then there is the butler, $75; sec ond butler, $40 to $50; footman, $30; maids from $20 to $30; ladies' maid, $30; seamstress, $30; cleaning woman, who has charge of the servants’ rooms, $25; chauffeur at $40, and his assist ants. For the children, a nurse at $30, and governess at $40. The sums paid the servants alone is $12,240 yearly, and counting in the cost of food in ad dition the cost of servants may well come to $15,000 a year.

Too often is the mantle of charity louder than a Navajo blanket—PucJt 1 some time seriously thought of ap pointing to that great office the late James C. Carter of New York, then regarded as the leader of the Ameri can bar, in whose office Associate Justice Charles E. Hughes received his first experience in active legal practice. But finally, after he had also seriously thought of calling Ed ward J. Phelps home from the court of St. James to take the post, he turned to Melville W. Fuller or Chi cago. "What definitely determined Mr. Cleveland to select Mr. Fuller for chief justice were certain representa tions made to him by members of the Supreme court. They said to him that a man, to be successful as chief jus tice of the United States, should have, in addition to great legal learning and a high judicial capacity, great execu tive ability. Under Chief Justice Waite, they delicately intimated, great lawyer though he was, the business of the Supreme court had lagged, so that it was about three years behind the docket. * “Mr. Fuller had been recommended to President Cleveland not only as a very able lawyer, but also as a busi ness man of unusual capacity. Had he chosen a business life instead of the law, his sponsors declared—and prob ably correctly—he would have gained distinguished success as an executive. It was this qualification, and this chiefly, that led Mr. Cleveland, aftei his talks with members of the Su preme court, to appoint Melville E. j Fuller chief justice; and it gave him no small degree of satisfaction after wards when he learned from members of the Supreme court that under Chief Justice Fuller the executive arrange ment of the Supreme court’s business had been so adequately perfected as to enable the court no longer to lag in the disposition of cases.” (Copyright. 1911. by E.

The latter is usually of the feminine sex. Not long since, Mrs. Asquith determined to unmask one of these unwelcome visitors, and she went up to a quiet looking lady whose isolated position suggested that she did not know anybody there—a fact that told against her. With icy polite ness she asked the lady's card of in vitation. It was calmly produced and handed over, and the woman rose without a word and walked indignant ly out of the house before the morti fied hostess realized that the sup posed uninvited guest was a peeress.

Story of Vic< How the Nomination for That Place Was Offered to Governor Boies of Iowa by William C. Whit ney and Declined. / The only Democratic governor the state of Iowa has ever had since the organization of the Republican party was Horace Boies, now in his eighty fourth year. Mr. Boies was elected governor in 1890 and re-elected two years later; and two years after he had left the gubernatorial chair he was second in the balloting for presi dent by the Democratic national con vention which gave Mr. Bryan his first presidential nomination. In recognition of the Initial tri umph of Mr. Boies over Iowa's Repub lican host. Governor Boies, through his friends, the late Mose3 M. Ham and Jennls J. Richardson of Daven port, Iowa, was urged and consented to take part in what was expected to be the largest political banquet ever held up to that time. It was fixed for the evening of December 23, 1890, in New York city, and was looked upon as the beginning of the Democratic national campaign of 1892. 5 Presidency t “You should have seen Governor Boles when he arrived In New York,” said to me a member of the Demo cratic national committee of that year. He was in much distress of mind, and he revealed the reason when he asked us if it would be proper for him to appear at the din ner in a business suit. He didn’t own such a thing as a dress suit. "He was much relieved when we told him that there would not be the slightest objection to his business suit. Then he asked if he might read his speech. He said he had tried to commit it to memory, but it was of no use. And finally, the governor ap peared to be very happy when we told him: ‘Why, of course, you can read your speech.’ "It proved to be a great speech. The subject was ‘Farmers and the Tariff,' and it attracted so much at tention that William C. WTiitney and the others who were directing the machinery for the nomination of Cleveland two years hence were not surprised when they lesrned that it had resulted in a fine presidential boomlet for Governor Boies. That boomlet would not down. It was the only thing of consequence that an noyed Mr. Cleveland's friends. “Of course, the Iowa Democracy, elated by its gubernatorial victory and almost carried off its feet by the expectation that an Iowa Democrat would be nominated for the presi dency, sent to Chicago in the summer of 1S92 a magnificent host, m-obably ten thousand persons in all, and they made much political noise, but the noise did not avail. "After Mr. Cleveland’s nomination on the first ballot, some of those who had directed the campaign met in William C. Whitney’s room. Mr. Whit ney said that under the circumstances it would be expedient to say to- the Iowa delegation that if Governor Boies would accept the nomination for vice president it would be made, probably by acclamation, emphasiz ing the last two words. “Thereupon, a courteously and gen erously worded communication, pre pared by Mr. Whitney, was sent to the Iowa delegation. Only a few mo ments were required for the reply. Mr. Whitney received it. He was told that Governor Boies under no circum stances would consent to take second place upon the national ticket. "None of those who were present can forget the queer, almost be wildered. expression which came to Mr. Whitney’s face. But time pressed. There must be a second choice for the vice presidential nomination. So we turned to Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois and speedily learned that tbere would be no rejecting of the offer on the part of Adlai or his friends. And because he was a sort of Hobson’s choice Adlai Stevenson became vice president of the United States. (Copyright. 1911. by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.)

He lived in a roomy, old-1 fashioned dwelling, which faced Stuy vesant Square in New York, and lay in the shadow of St. George's church. Gradually! he was cbnfihed_to~ his room, and at last to his bed. Then his friends knew what he had known : when he was in the senate, that he was a victim of an hereditary disease of the eyes, a malignant physical taint which was in the Roger Sherman blood, from which, also. Mr. Evart's cousin, the late Senator George F. Hoar of Massachusetts, suffered. And It was this affliction, secretly, brave ly borne, that had caused him to seem like another man when senator. Never was an invalid more patient than this heroic figure when he was brought to bed. In the summer, with the window open, he could hear the murmur of the city, and the children, as they played in the square. The fragrance of the blossoms he perceived and greatly enjoyed, so that he could, with mental vision, picture forth the coming of the spring and early sum mer. But friends reported that, after all. he was finding his greatest conso lation in the unobscured mental vis- \ ion which was left him. By means of It he could picture forth the men and incidents of the historic events with which he had been associated. And, thus consoled, thus occupied, with the varied and fascinating mental like nesses of men and historic scenes, the great American at last passed into perfect §leep. (Copyright. 1911, by E. J.

MENTAL ACCURACY Greatly Improved by Leaving Off Coffee The manager of an extensive cream ery in Wis. states that while a regu lar coffee drinker, he found it injuri ous to his health and a hindrance to the performance of his business du ties. “It impaired my digestion, gave me a distressing sense of fullness in the region of the stomach, causing a most painful and disquieting palpitation of the heart, and what is worse, it mud dled my mental faculties so as to seri ously injure my business efficiency. “I finally concluded that something would have to be done. I quit the use of coffee, short off, and began to drink Postum. The cook didn't make it right at first. She didn't boil it long i enough, and I did not find it palatable and quit using it and went back to cof fee and to the stomach trouble again "Then my wife took the matter in hand, and by following the directions on the box, faithfully, she had me drinking Postum for several days be for I knew it. "When I happened to remark that I was feeling much better than I had for a long time, she told me that I had been drinking Postum, and that accounted for it. Now we have no coffee on our table. “My digestion has been restored, and with this improvement has come relief from the oppressive sense of fullness and palpitation of the heart that used to bother me so. I note such a gain in mental strength and acute ness that I can attend to my office work with ease and pleasure and with out making the mistakes that were so annoying to me while I was using coffee. “Postum is the greatest table drink of the times, in my humble estima tion.” Name given by Postum Co.
