Aunt Hannah Bnow, wife of Captali
Jabez Suow of Keunebunk, wfts ulmos
ua g>*xl a Bill lor us her husband. Sh«
had gone with him to tho West ludlei
on Hewn voyages ami had acted ni
mate mid second mate. Flic could meiu
a sail, steer her trick, make or take li
Mil and line a quadrant as well as anj
one, or at least as well as any mat*
that ever nailed with the llnnnah Bnow
as tho brig was named. Captain Bnow
ran between Boston and the West In
dla Island*, and the shippers of Hon
ton came to know his wife rmd the waj
she could discipline a crew and ban
die the craft.
On a certain date the brls was load
lng In Boston for a quick market. Kx
tra help was put onto get the cargr
aboard, and Captain Jabez signed n
bond to get that cargo to Its destlna
tlon within a certain number of days,
burring hurricanes, waterspouts and
other acts of Providence. The bond ha<l
not been signed more than an hour
when he broke his leg. Nothing was
■urer than that be could not carry out
hint agreement, and a great financial
as well as many weeks of vexa
tlon* delay stared tho couple In the
face. They must either find a captain
to take chaw of tho brig or forfeit
tho charter and pay ft good round sum,
and Captain Jabez was wondering If
a man could bo found when his wife
broke In on hlrn.
"Jabez, you bare broke your log, and
I don't want to be cross with you, but
you seem to forgit that I am still on
earth."
"No, 1 don't," he replied, "but I don't
■ee what yon can do In this case ex
cept to Kit me back home and nurse
me."
"Well, I see where I can do some
thing else, and I'm goin' to do It too.
I'm goln' to take the Hannah to the
Wert Indies and back and save our
charter."
"Have you lost your senses?"
"Not a bit of It. If I i-ouldn't make
that voynge I wouldn't be worth my
salt Ik now all the crew, and I'll have
Bill Henderson for mate. We'll slip
down there and be buck ng*ln before
your leg has begun to knit. There
needn't bo any more talk about llndlng
a captain."
When Captain Jabez thought the
matter over he was Inclined to think
that his wife could do all she said, but
the consignees had to bo consulted.
When Aunt Hannah went to them and
stated tho case they did not raise a sin
gle objection, OlHl It was settled that
she was to be Captain Hannah Bnow
for the voyage. It was only after tho
brig had left port that the mate's
meanness caine to the surface Ho
had nailed with the craft on several
voyages and was a nelghl>or of the
ftaown at home. When the accident
happened to Captain Jabez tho mate
naturally hoped to get command for
the voyage. He would have been dis
aboard, but to be walked over by a
woman, oven though she was the cap
tain's wife and a neighbor, was too
much.
Aunt Hannah saw that he was In the
sulks. "Look here, Bill Henderson,*
she said, "It won't do you the least
mlte of good togo on biting your
tongue over this. I can captain this
brig as well as JalK'Z, and I'm going to
take her out and back."
"You'll have her at the bottom be
fore we strike the gulf stream," he re
plied.
"You never mind where I'll have her,
hut 'tend to your knitting. We are to
crack on and make the best time we
can."
A day later she found the mate carry
ing too Uttlo null, and an argument
ensued. Later on she came on deck
from her watch below to find him
chumming with the men. Two or
three other things happened to put her
out of temper, and she exercised the
privilege of a captain by "breaking"
the mate and Bending him to the to'
cuMle. When she wouin replace mui
with the next l>e*t man, the Hallor re
fused to take the place. Tin* crew was
with the mate. Aunt Hannah express
ed her mind freely, and as a conse
quence the crew refused to obey. The
brig was brought to the wind, sail tak
en off, and the woman was laughed at
Bbe was told that not a man would do
duty until the ma'| was reinstated.
"Then It's mutiny. Is It?" she replied.
"Very well. I'll let you know that
you've gut the wrong pig by the ear.
I'll lose brig, cargo and everything else
In the world before I'll give In."
For a day and a night the brig made
no progress, and as the weather was
fair she Incurred no danger.
The crew saw that the wornun did
not Intend to give In, and It angered
them There was one among them
who had read dozens of pirate books
and always longed to sail under the
black dag Things had never come
light for him before, but now he took
advantage of the temper of the others
to broach the subject He was a good
talker, and he held out such au alluring
picture that even the mate, who was
above the average man to Intelligence,
agreed togo Into the pirate business
with the others This decision was
communicated to Captain Hannah, who
was wandering about unconcernedly.
"Waal, Bill, that's all right," she re
torted "There's a ram and sugar load
•d bark eoiuln' our way, and you
might l>egln ou her. I've got a black
ahawl which I'll give you for a flag,
and you Juat lay to, board that bark
and give 'em fit*."
"I'll either turn pirate or comnmnd
thU brig," stoutly asserted the er
ninte.
"Then It Is a pirate you'll become,
for you'll never gtt command here."
Ho a signal of distress was set on the
brig and when the bark came up and
was ho\e to she was boarded by all
the crew of the Snow In their own
yawl. riiey might have committed
some foolish act and had to smart for
It but for the woman left aboard.
Just liefore they reached the bark she
hoisted her black shawl as a signal and
a warning. The crew of the stranger
■aw that something was wrong, and
when the "pirates" attempted to board
they wore met with capstan bars ami
belaying pins. Home were selxed and
flung Into the son after being well
thumi»ed, and when the bark resumed
her voyage and the yawl returned to
the brig with the discomfited "pirates"
they were met at the gangway by Cap
tain Hannah and an uuclent fowling
plec-e and told to shear off. They felt
It wise to obey, and for seven long
honrs they floated within a cable's
length of the brig and took turns beg
glng Aunt Hannah's pardon and en
treating her forgiveness. When they
were half dead with thirst and hunger
she Invited them aboard, or, ruther.
| permitted ttiem to crawl over the rail
and promise ail sorts of good beha
i vlor in future.
The brig had lost valuable time, but
to make up for it Providence gave her
a gale from the rl«ht quarter and she
moved along quickly. She overrun her
time by a day, both going and coming,
and never, after having their hurts at
tended to, was there a more willing
mate or crew. Occasionally Captain
Hannah had something to say about
mutiny and piracy and broken heads,
but she made no note of it In the lug
book, and perhaps she never told Cap
tain Jabez. At least, when she had
finished the return voyage, and he
Asked her how things had gone, she re
plied:
"I can't and the least mite of fault,
and if you don't git around purty soon
me'n the old lnig and them Boston
shippers will have no use for you."

Here ia a quaint little story told of a
young couple upon their wedding trip,
crossing from I>over to Calais. Jenny
had grown tired and sickly on deck,
and James had led her to the saloon
below, lovingly wrapping her up in a
Scotch plaid In a snug looking corner.
He then went and fetched her some
eau de cologne and was not less lavish
of endearing words until—until ho
found he had made a mistake.
Ills wife had moved to another cor
ner of the saloon more free from
drafts, and an elderly woman with Jtu>t
the same sort of plaid had taken her
place. Realizing the condition of af
fairs, James dropped the cologne bottle
and fled. Later he Induced his wife to j
go and apologize to the woman he had
unwittingly lavished tenderness upon,
and Jenny went.
"My dear," said the elderly woman
tearfully, "don't apologize. It was
nico to IM» culled such sweet names. It i
remlndt»d me of my honeymoon time, j
It's many a long year since my John
had a tender word for me."
John never meant to be unkind and i
probably did love his wife. Only, llko j
too many other married men, he fan- j
clod that the love which made for !
Itself speech without measure before
marriage had no need to break silence
afterward. London Titßits.

In Dolgellj', In the north of Wales,
there Is a mountain celebrated In folk
lorn, poetry and SOUK AS Cader Idiis,
or Idrls' Chulr. The hollow, couchlike
excavation on the top of the mountain
has given the peak Its name. According
to tli*' Welsh bards, the depression was
caused by the giant Idris long using It
as a chftlr. There Is a local tradition
!n north Wales that whoever passes tho
night In the Giant's Chair will be found
In the morning either dead, crazy or
endowed with the highest poetical as
pirations. lrtris is variously represent
ed in Welsh tradition as a prince, magi

STRANGE ACCIDENTS.
A DrnliPii »ck n« the Hennlt of the
Turn of n Foot.
"The man who fell out of bed and
broke his neck will scarcely attract
more than passing notice," said a
thoughtful man,"for there have been
many cases equally remarkable. I re
call one case where a man's neck was
broken by a very slight turn of his
foot. lie attempted to 'catch himself—
that is, to preserve his balance- and
the effort was of such violence that he
broke his neck. Many men have bro
ken their necks by a sudden stumble
rind a fall on the sidewalk or by being
knocked down by some hurrying pedes
trian, or by a street car or a vehicle of
some sort.
"It Is not at all uncommon for a po
liceman, with no Intention of doing
more than subdue an unruly member,
to break an offender's neck by nipping
film over the head with his club. Some
times the fall which follows and some
times the blow breaks the neck of the
D (Tender. Sometimes a sudden, violent
motion of the head, a <julck Jerking
motion, the kind we make when dodg
ing, will break the nock.
"I recall a case where a man threw
lis neck out of Joint without breaking
It by throwing his head to one side In
in effort to dodge a bullet fired at
dm at short range. The bullet passed
through the rim of his hat. Even after
that he carried his head tilted over the
right shoulder and was never able to
straighten it." New Orleans Times-
Democrat.
DUST OF THE DESERT.
It Is an Affliction, hat It It Sot Im
pure, Like tltr Dint.
A traveler In Egypt writes: "With all
its heat and dust the desert has Its
charms. True, the desert dust la an
affliction, for when certain evil winds
blow tho desert Is shrouded In dust
vast swirling clouds through which no
eye can see. But when the dust storms
have blown over and the desert Is
calm again you forget the dust, for
the desert dust is dusty dust, but not
dirty dust Compared with the aw
ful organic dust of New York, Lon
don or Paris It Is Inorganic and pure.
"On those strips of the Libyan aod
Arabian def'tfs which He along tho
Nile the desert dust Is largely made
up of shredded royalty, of withered
I'tolemles, of faded Pharaohs, for the
tombs of queens and kings are count
ed here by the hundreds and of their
royal progeny and their royal retain
ers by the thousands. These desiccat
ed dynasties have been drying so long
that they are now <julte antiseptic.
"I»ust of these dead and gone kings
makes extraordinarily fertile soil for
vegetable gardens when irrigated with
the rich waters of the Nile. Their
mummies are also said to make excel
lent pigments for the brush Barneses
and Hetos, Cleopatra and llatasu all
these great ones dead and turm-d to
clay when properly ground make a
rich umber paint highly popular with
artists."

In tho baseball annals of Texas, Bal
timore county, Is an Incident which,
whether an actual occurrence or not,
has boon repeated bo often that It la
Invested with tho force of fact
On a hot Fourth of July back In the
eighties, when the catcher held his posi
tion behind the bat without a mask
and the pitcher knew of no curve or too
plate, there was a game of ball be
tween the Texas Plunders and the Tl
monluin Little Potatoes, but Hard to
Peel. Tho Sluggers had {rot In some
good stick work early In the game, and
the visitors were Just feeling the big
Texas pitcher. It was tho fifth Inning,
and the Little Potatoes had two men
on the bases, one on second and the
other on first, when ope of their home
run hitters, who had been asleep un
til this moment, struck the ball. It
cleaml the entire field and would have
fallen on the railroad track, but Just at
that moment a train came along, and
the ball disappeared In the smokestack
of the engine. The train was going at
a lively speed up grade, and tho force
of the pull's ejected the ball. The mo
mentum of the train carried It until It
fell in tlie third baseman's hands, and
a doubl< play was the result. After
much kicking from the Little Potatoes
as to whether the play was fair tlie side
was retired, as the double play made
three hands out. lialtlinore Sun.

It Is said that even the most gentle- >
manly of our burglars have much t»
learn from Japan In the way of pollto !
ness, if one may Judge by a description
of the manners of robbers In thai coun- j
try. Three men broke into a dyer's j
house while he was away, and one of i
them gently asked tho wife how much i
money there was In the place. She an- !
swered that there was Just a little In 1
the house. The robber laughed and
said:
"You are a good old woman, and we
believe you. If you were poor wo
would not rob you at all. Now, we only
want some money and this," placing
his hand on a fine silk dress.
The old woman replied: "All my bus- I
band's money I can give you, but 1 be>|
you will not take that, for It does not j
belong to my husband and was con- j
fided to us only for dyeing. What Is t
ours 1 can give, but I cannot give what
belongs to another."
"That Is (juite right," approved tho '•
robber, and lie Immediately withdrew
with his confederates.

A k mm 1 illustration of tin* quick wit
of appears In tlie following
Incident of tin' old coaching days of the
far west. The man of the tale does not
show oil" in tlie best of lights and did
not deserve his reward. The coach
was on Its way over a lonely road and
carried among its passengers a lady
p >!ng to join her husband and a man
traveling by himself.
"I have <?l,(mm( in my pocket book,"
confided the lone traveler to the lady,
"and I fi el very uneasy. Would jou
mind concealing it in your dress? If
we are held ti|> they are less likely to
*eai' h you."
The lady consented and hid the roll
of bills To evening tlie shout of
"Throw up your hands!" brought the
coach to a standstill, and four men,
masked and on horseback, demanded
tit the point of the pistol that all money
should be Immediately given up. The
lone traveh r passed over all his re
maining cash, consisting of a few dol
lars, and was congratulating himself
on his escape when, to his horror, he
heard the lady say:
"I have a thousand dollars here, but
I suppose 1 must give it tip." And
without further hesitation she handed
over the precious pile of greenbacks.
The robbers rode off in high good hu
mor, but as soon as they were gone the
traveler let loose his wrath. He abused
the lady In no measured terms and
hardly stopped short of calling her a
coward. The accused said little, but
when the end of the Journey was reach
ed she Invited the angry man to her
house.
"I shall have to accept," he said sul
kily. "I haven't a cent in the world
through your stupidity."
As he was dressing for dinner that
night his host came to his room.
"Here Is the thousand dollars," he
said, "which my wife ventured to bor

Where did he come from? New Eng

Why, when he wants a blaekflsh he
' calls for taufatig and orders quahuags

as bad ns an Englishman who came

I once and asked us if we had any sa
vory duck. 'This Is no poultry shop,'

Mine. Myriam Harry, the Parisian
novelist, who traveled about the world
a good deal described what evidences
of affection are prized by men and
women hi different countries, in Je
rusalem she once mot a young Aral)
woman who had not a tooth left in her
head. Mine. Harry's native servant
said: "Lucky woman! Her husband
knocked all her teeth out. He does
love her!" In Cochin China Mine. Hnr
ry was told that there a husband* was
not believed to love his wife properly
until he had made a present to her of
a coffin. In (Jalicla, among the sect of
Masoehists, a man values his wife's af
fection by the degree of suffering which
she causes him to endure. Mm#, narry
there once heard a betrothed youth say
! to Ills affianced bride, "If you really
j loved me you would consent to bind
me and flop me with this whip." At
Stockholm a woman sued her husband
for divorce on the ground that he did
£->♦ love her soulfully.

"George!"
"Yes, dear?"
"Before* we were married you once
j askerl me If I enjoyed n brass band."
"V yes, perhaps I did."
"You did And I said yes. But It
seems I misunderstood you, George.
My wedding ring la making * black
mark on my finder."
