TERRIBLE DEATH OF WHALER
News of Hla Drowning While fO.Tr.inc
a Strike Shows Industry Is
Not Dead.
The whaling Industry upon which
the prosperity of a fow Now Kugland
ports was once founded la supposed
to have passed nwny. No more does
the odor of whale oil glvo peculiar
flavor to nn entire township. No long
er are pompous rectangular mansions
pointed out as "whale fortunes." The
day Is gono when Bailors In from '
three-year voyages spent their shares
tn a week or two and blithely signed
on again for other such terms of dan
ger and toll. ,
Yet whales are still pursued and
the pursuit Is not all by steamers
with outfits of harpoon guns, patent
trylng-out vats and safety devices for
the boat crews. Word has come In
a round-about way to Provlncetown,
which is on the tip of Cape Cod, that
the mate of a whaler, hailing from
that port, had been drowned while
making a strike. Ho had "flung the
iron," had seen "her sink to tho
hitches," and then had been drawn
overboard tn a twist of the line. In
tho excitement of tho cast he had
made a fatal step Into tho coll, been
caught nnd In the twinkling of an
eye, whipped from the boat. He waa
never seen again.
It is a frightful way to die, yet we
know from the stories they told and
the observations they made that the
old-time whalers beheld merit and
honor In such a way to death. They
said they preferred to die like men
In the moment of triumph and high
tension than slowly and weakly upon
a bed ashore and, since we remember
them to have been men, every Inch
ef them, their preference commands
respect.
LOYALTY OF AFRICAN NATIVE
He
Had Been On ef Livingstone's
eys an Preferred to Die
by Hla Lead.
While Jourasylng through eeatral
Africa oace, after several days of
severe marching, the mea ef Alfred J.
Swann'a caravaa failed to reach cams.
He returned te them with water aad
assistance, and finding the carts with
aly half their orew, he asked where
the heavy lead waa, and they replied,
"Miles behind." It was on this Jour
aey that he -witnessed a remarkable
Instance of the endurance and loyalty
of a black man.
Fearing the men would be starred,
writes Mr. Bwann in "Fighting the
Slave-Hunters In Central Africa," we
pressed on toward them, and finally
discovered the load drawn up under
a bush. Searching round for traces
of the crew, I heard a voice faintly
call out:
"I am alive, but give me water!"
On looking Into the bush, we dis
covered the leader, sheltered from the
sun, and after giving him water, I
asked:
"Where are the others?"
"Gone on to camp," he replied, "for
food and water."
"Why did you not go?"
"No, master, I could not leave the
boat section. My name is Mahaububu.
I was one of Livingstone's boys. I
should have died by the load. I cut
off the hide lashings and ate them,
and the roots I dug up and sucked for
moisture."
Let no man question, concludes Mr.
Swann, tho ability of black men to
perform loyal service after evidence
of such herolo conduct. Youth's Com
panion. To Save Time.
He simply couldn't help it. He was
born lazy. As a rule, If not sleepy, he
could get through a shave In about
35 minutes, nut today, after only 14
hours' sleep, be appeared even more
sluggish than ever. As he applied the
lather to his customer's beard, his
brush lingered haltingly, as though
loath to leave the stubby chin to
which It was being applied. The cus
tomer was a patient man, and stood
this for a considerable while. But at
last his patience began to ooze, and
he Interrupted a 40 winks' interval
with a cough.
"S'ere, lad," he suggested. "Aa've
an Idea. Haud your hand, keep tha
brush still, an' Aa'll wag ma head
for ye!"

m FARMER L0ST HIS BET!
How Maryland Countryman Proved
That He Was Not Ugliest
Lad In State,
One of tho favorlto stories told by
tho fanners who soil their produce
outside Center Mnrket concerns two
farmer brothers from somewhere up
In Marylnnd, who are said to be so
ugly that whenever they want tho
wagon backed all they hnvo to do Is
to stand in front of the team and
laugh.
One day the boys worn bringing In
vegetables In a covered wagon. John
was walking and driving and BUI was
taking a nap, hidden by the cover. A
"gentleman farmer," out for a spin be
hind his blooded mare, halted the
wagon. Knowing that the boys liked
a little fun and were not averse to
being told that they were ugly, ho
engaged John in conversation, think
ing that he was tho only one present.
"John," he said, "I'll bet you are
the ugliest boy In the statu."
"How much will you bet?" asked
John.
"Five dollars."
"I'll Jest tnko you up on that," said
John. Then turning to the wagon
whero Hill was concealed and asleep,
he yelled:
"Kill! Hoy, mil! Poke yo' head
outen thorn klvors."
Hill did as he was bidden and the
"gentleman farmer" handed over the
five dollnrs and drove away without
a word. Washington 8tar.
EVERYONE WANTS TO TRAVEL
Various Motlvss That Actuate Differ
ent People te Ream About
the Wide World.
Travel la a popular mania which
Impels the victim to seek the solace
of crowds, Jams, ruins, smells, master
pieces, glaciers and donkey boys In
preference to home, creditors or con
science. Travel Is a universal falling,. The
overworked go to put In nineteen
hours a day catching trains and
climbing Matterhorns; the gouty to
sample the cobwebbed vintages ef the
leading spas; the blase to mahe Monte
Carlo without doing the Casino aad
Venice without seeing the lions. The
'suddenly rich travel In order to be
miserable under strange conditions.
'The New England schoolma'am goes
.abroad to proclaim the superiority of
.the Singer building over that leaning
thing at Pisa. The Cornville editor
goes to impresslonlze the first psge
of the Clarion back home. The self
proclaimed self-made go for the
avowed purpose of giving no tips. The
'wanted!" go to be forgotten, the
lovelorn to forget. Life.
Jumped Seven Feet.
"Any news down my way?" repeated
the farmer, as he stopped his team
and bit a chew off his plug. "Well,
I kin give you a leetle bit, ' I
'guess. It hain't earthquakes nor cy
clones, but it does purty well for our
place."
. "Well?" queried the tollgate man.
"Well, the news Is that Jim Wil
liam's wife's canary bird got out of the
cage the other day and she bad
to chase it more'n two hours to get It'
back."
"That Isn't much news."
"Nope, I s'pose not, but I was sav
ing the best for the last."
"And what is it?"
"Why, a tin peddler came along and
bet Joe Harklns that he could
outjump him, and Joe held his
breath and jumped seven feet and won
the bet, and it's already settled that
we aro to run him for the legislature
next fall."
What Is a Quack?
What is a quack? Any unorthodox
healer, we suppose, who offends the
iatrlc trade union of his day by suc
ceeding where they fail. When a
young English doctor sees with his
own eyes a faith-cure at Lourdes he
shakes his head, but he goes home
aad looks up cerebral suggestions and
ganglions. The medical authorities
discountenance "bone-setters," but
there Is one with a consulting room in
Park lane who, according to an arti
cle la the English Review, would ap
pear to enjoy a remarkably satisfac
tory clientele In spite of boycott. Her
balists, too, come under the censure of
the Blue Book; yet we 'recall with a
regretful smile the face and figure of
an Oxford Socialist Is bis name not
chronicled in The Life of William Mor
ris? who till lately plied the trade of
herbalist in all simplicity and honor.
