rOra Cissy Fitzgerald ’AIl a Remarkable
Haccident.
There was a thrilling story published
in a. newspaper the other day telling
an early morning row on the Park lake,
leaned over the side of the boat in or-
der to gasp a wild flower, or a. fish or an.
. idea, or something or other, lost her
bearing and fell overboard, and had to
swim ashore. This was an absolutely
true story, only its most interesting de-
tails were left out.
Unknown to the general public, the
'Bow Bells beauty has hadi her alphabet
laid away in a hot house all winter. In
common with many British llnguists,
Miss Fitzgerald, since her arrival in
this country, has experienced a long felt
want—in other words, she hadn’t an h

become a citizeness, she was anxious to
acquire a. few as soon as possible.
Thankstto the hothouse treatment and
the early spring, Cecelia’s H’s blossom-
ed apace. Plucking the most advanced
blossom she attkhed it to her vocabul-
ary, and, championed by a young gen-
tleman who could not sing, she took it
out for a row on the lake.
It was this H which caused her to
jump overboard. She was humming
“Home Sweet Home” to herself very
softly when the H slipped from its
mooring and fell overboard with a dull
and sickening splash. Being a British
H it had all the buoyancy of a London
joke, and before the despai1ing eyes of
Miss Fitzgerald it made rapid tracks for
the bottom.
It was a time for action rather than
words. Before her friend at the 01115
had time to utter a feeble “ Elp! ’elp!”
Cissy was overboard. She dived in the
diiection of the missing H, steering her
course with one hand while she removed
her glove with the other. She grasped
her treasure just as it was sinking for

and the H are doing as well as can be

“The time has come,” she announced,
“for women to be no longer trammelled
by conventions.’ ”
" That is one of the main reasons why
we don’t want you to vote,” exclaimed
the man who carries two wards in his
pocket. “The best thing abouta man
is his habit'of sticking to the decision of
the convention no matter whether the
ticket suits him or not. You women
would be making .all sorts of bolts.”—

him long ago,’ says Admiral Colomb,‘
in the 'Pittsburg Dispatch, “was always
a. good fellow, but you seldom knew,
where to have him. He was unques-
tionably a drunken fellow, and he used
to manage to get drunk faster than any
other class of men with whom I have
been acquainted. He was not steady.
Apart from his officer, he seemed al~
most like a reed shaken with the wind,
though his personal courage was always
lion-like when aroused.
“He was proud of his officer, especial-
ly if the officer was hard on him. He
was somewhat of a fatalist, quick to
to give up the struggle without it. He
was quarrelsome in his cups, but always
distinctly witty out of them. He pre-
serves his humor to the present day.

PEARL b’I‘Ii‘E'as"'I'=i"EPAIR A SHIP.
They Stayed Beneath the Surface for Two
Minutes with One Breath.
The American bark Seminole will go
back to Australia. California red wood
is now called cedar nearly all over the
world, "and vessels are in demand to
take it to Europe, Asia, Africa and
Australasia, besides the southern part
of America. The Seminole is not the
first vessel by any means that has taken
lumber to Melbourne and Sydney, but
she pioneers the way for a fleet that is
nowup and loading for all points of the
compass.
During her trip from Newcastle, N.
1...W to this port with coal, the Semi-
hole had a .remarkable experience. She
sprang a leak, and Captain Weeden ran
for one of the South Sea Islands. Fifty
tons of the cargo was jettisoned, but
nevertheless the leak could 'not be
reached. Finally, it was decided that
the leak was due to a butt that had
started in the lower hold, and that re-
pairs would have to be made. Two pearl
divers were engaged, and it took them
just an hour to repair the damage
They made no preparations, but simply
.dived into the water and located the
leak. On their return they took a piece
of sheet lead, a hammer and some nails,
and went down again. " The hole was
covered, but not made watertight, and
another descent had to be made. On
this occasion the men stayed down
nearly two minutes. and made a thor-
ough success of the operation.
“It was the cheapest and best ,job I
ever saw performed in my life,” said
Captain Weeden recently. "The men
went down perfectly naked, and as the
water in the southern seas is as clear as
glass, we could see all their movements.
They moved around like fish, and after
locating the leak came to the surface
just as fresh as though they had been in
the open air all the time. After nail-
ing on the lead they came up and drew
a long breath, came up the ship’s sides
like monkeys, and I’ll swear you could
not see a quiver in their nostrils, or a
heave in their flanks, even though they
had been under water nearly two min-
utes.”—San Francisco Call.
Plan to Pay Debts.
A rather original plan to pay ofi
debts was laid bare in the courts the
other day. A man was asked if he was
married- He replied in the affirmative,
adding that he did not at present live
with his wife for the sake of economy.
A further elucidation of the facts
showed that he was in receipt of a sal-
ary of 818 a week and his wife of 87;
that he lived in a furnished room and
she with her sister. He had no quarrel
' with his spouse; on the contrary, he saw
her every evening. When asked to ex
plain the reason of this rather curious
state of affairs, he replied that he owed
some $200 to different people, and until
e had paid these debts his wife and he
lied hit 011 this novel mode of econo
niizing. ‘

from Chicago.
It you want to fish go to Unlaska.
One evening we walked along the
beach and came upon a little half-
brced boy lying on his back on the sand,
with his hands clasped under his head.
He was, fishing. A quarter-inch rope
was tied to a stake, with a little of the
slack of it looped around his foot, and
it ran out into the water. Almost im-
mediately after we came there "was a
bite. The boy looked indifferent, but
sat half-way up and pulled in the line,
which was about sixty feet long, and
made 11p of asmany News as the tail
of a kite. He had this time a hall-
but that would weigh perhaps twenty
pounds. Drawing it well up on the
bank he released the hook and cast it
out again. In two minutes more he
was pulling out a codfish nearly as big
as the halibut. Then he caught a
couple of flounders and another cod
and so on. When he arose after awhile
to go the boy wound in his line, said a.
few words in Aleut about the weather
or something else and, picking out one
of the fish that suited his fancy, went
home—Chicago Record.
