(HU)STS0F THE SEA.
BAILORS DnEAD TO SEE THE SHIPS
THAT NEVER SAILED.
An Ifl flnlt TrIW nf III I lrt lxprrlcuco
With limnlom Ship Willi n Tcrrl
bin Hurrirano Ilimln It Itiilc Iiaslly
With All Kail. IwL
"Theso tales of tho ships that never
enmo back nro sad cuough, bnt it's the
ship thnt never went out, tho ghosts of
the Ren, that givo tho sailor ninu a
creepy feeling when ho meets them out
whero tho waves nro rolling high nnd
the winds nro singing funeral sours. "
Tho spcnlcer was Mnto Bob Ailing,
who has followed the sea as boy and
man for noarly 60 years. Surrounded by
a group of interested listeners in the
publio room of tho Sailors' Happy homo
In South street, Hate Bob, as all the
tailors call him, was tolling stories ot
strange sights that he has witnessed at
sea. Ailing is now mnto of a ooastwise
Ashing schooner, but in tho old days he
sailed in some of the largest trading ships
and the strongest whalers that evot
sailed ont of an American port flying
the stars and stripes.
"As I said, boys," the old mnn went
on, "it's tho ships thnt never went ont
from any port thnt a sailor never forgets
when ho sees 0110 of them. We may re
member tho ships that went ont nnd
never came back for a time if we had a
shipmate aboard, bnt we can forget.
But there's no forgetting a ghost of the
sea.
"It was back in the early fifties that
I saw my first sea ghost, and today I
can shut my eyes nnd see it juntas plain
as I could see it then. I was a sailor on
a fishing schooner, nnd we wore cntch
Ing cod off the coast of Newfoundland.
We had been out ten days nnd were al
most rondy to start for home with a fnll
cargo when a nasty off shore breeze
came 011 late one evening. We stood out
to sea, for there was a hoavy fog along
with tho wind. It was a still nnd steady
blow, so we rode the waves under bare
polos during the night, waiting for day
light and the fog to lift before shaping
our oourse for homo.
"All through tho night we sent np
rookots nt intervals nnd kept tho ship's
boll going; because wo could not see
ton foet nliend nt times on account of
tho fog. But it was nenrly morning be
foro we hoard or saw an answering sig
nal to warn us thnt another vessel was
near.
"I wns 011 tho early morning watch,
nnd about half an hour before daylight
I made, out a signal light a short dis
tance ahead on our port bow. It was a
strange light, a pnlo blue in oolor, and
it flashed nn and down at Irregular in
tervals. Tho fog wns still thick, and it
was impossible to toll how near we were
to tho vessel.
"I called the mate on deck and point
ed to the strange signal light. Ho look
ed at it a long time, and, with a shake
of his hoad, said he could not make it
ont nt all. The lights showed that the
vessel could not be far away, so we
changed onr oourse a little, and then
fired a gun. There was no answer, and
we fired again and again with the same
result
"By and by I saw that the mate was
very grave and qneor looking. He was
pacing back and forth on the dock, not
minding the cold, misty rain that was
falling, and all the time he kept his
eyes fixed on that qneor looking bluish
light that flashod np ont of the fog and
darkness ahead. At last I made so bold
as to ask the mate what he thought of
it
'"It's a ghost I' he said, looking at
me with a pitying look.
" 'A ghost?" soys I.
" 'Yes, a ghost of the sea. Wait till
the fog lifts. Yon may see it then. '
"The fog lifted a bit when daylight
came, and then I saw the ghost as the
mate said I would.
"Rising grim and white ont of the
fog and waves that were rolling high, I
saw a fnll rigged ship of qneor design.
The wind was blowing half a gale, bnt
not a mast or polo of the ghost ship
bent an inch, and not one of the broad
white sails seemed to strain at the ropes.
ino pnoutom was close on onr cort
bow, and as the fog oloared away we
had a splendid view from her water line
to the top of her masts. With the waves
pitching and rolling mountain high, and
the wind howling around onr polos, the
ghost ship was riding ont the storm as
steady ai a painted ship on a painted
canvas ocean.
"Every man on board orowded on
deck, and while they had to hold on to
the railing to keep from being washed
overboard they stood ond gazed ot the
phantom ship as long as it wns in sight
Bitmo of them that Wero a bit religious
like made tho sign nf tho cross, and oth
ers tried to say a bit of n prayer. Tho
fact Is that every man 011 board thought
the phantom chip n warning of death.
"Tho captain went below nnd drank
hot grog till ho was that reckless no
ghost had any terrors for him. Then, ns
tho wind went down a bit, ho ordered
ns to innko call and bear down on tho
phantom ship.
"Up went our nail in a jilTy, and we
flow along before tho wind, bnt we
conltl get no nearer tho phantom chip.
Suddenly wo caw tho whito ghost ship
lurch forward, her sails trembled for nil
instant, nnd then sho seemed to sink
straight down into tho sea. Ten second
from tho timet wo saw tho first quiver of
her sails tho ship had vanished, nnd wo
never saw her itain.
"During t'l.i day tho storm went
down, Mid putting about wo nmdn port
in safety. But when that schooner sailed
for the lisliin, banks ii;aiu it was with
an entirely new crew from tho captain
to cabin boy. Not n man who saw tho
ghost ship from her deck would sail ou
thai schoo ler niaili.
"Such is tho old sailor belief in the
ghosts of t!iti sea ns warnings of dnugur.
Tho men who seo one of them will nover
sail again ctfi tho same ship if they live
to see port" New York Dispatch.
THE RENT WAS NOT RAISED.
A Woman Shown llorndf Too Nmart For
llor Landlord.
They met in a street car, nnd the wo
man with n golf rape, remarked:
"I see yon still hnvo tho same house. "
"Yes, and nt the snmo rent," remark
ed the woman with tho ostrich boa.
"Bnt I thought your landlord had
decided to raise it?"
"Ho did, bnt somehow I didn't ex
pect to movo, though Tom gave np the
house at once. Y'ou see, I really can't
afford to have any more brio-a-brao
smashed in moving wagons. I've lost
enough nlrendy to stock a department
store. "
"So you have decided not to move?"
"Not qulto, dear. Yon see, I told the
landlord that I wns sorry to move, bnt
we really couldn't afford a higher rent
and that I myself would gladly show
the house to intending tenants. Then
I set every room in order and wnited. "
"Well."
"Well, I really thought that the first
woman that came would take it I
praised the closets and told her whnfc
swell neighbors we had and"
"But I thought yon didn't want
to"
"No, denr, but just as she was leav
ing I casually mentioned the fact thnt
two persons had died of typhoid fover
in the next house nbove nnd one two
doors below. Sho seemed somewhnt ng
itated, nnd when I called out tho land
lord's address nfter her she didn't seem
much Interested. "
"Bnt, Maggie, yon know thnt wns"
"Some timo ngo? Yes, but I never
cnnld romember dates, and the people
did die."
"Well, did sho"
"Nover wont near. Tho bodrooms
were too small for tho next pooplo, nnd
the noxt ones wero delighted, but thought
tho rent rather dear. Then I remarked
; that immediately nfter luncheon I in-
! tended to run nround nnd cngngo that
j lovely littlo house in the next square nt
: a lower rent. They carelessly asked
which house, nnd I noticed thnt they
turned thnt corner.
"How could you? Well, did sho"
"Woll, yon know, it wns cheaper,
and if they had taken onr honse I should
hnvo been obliged to rent thnt, for it
wns uear cuough to have my brio-a-brao
carried."
' "Your landlord told mo that Bwell
ltyles intended to take it"
"They did, but aftor Mrs. Swollstylos
and I had gone over it I said, 'Your
children all look so healthy that I think
tho liouso will jnst suit you, but mine,
you know, are rather dolicate, and the
least hint of sewer gas alarms ns. ' She
turned palo, ond I knew at onoe that
not even the parlor mantel wonld in
duce her to tako it "
"And the landlord?"
"Oh, he came around that evening
and said that as we were suoh good ten
ants he had decided not to raise the rent
Tom was so surprised. "
"No wonder," gasped her friend.
"This is onr stopping plaoe. Come and

cago Tribune,
Napoleon'! Bed Velvet CoaU
In the center of the other gloss ease
the light falls on a magnificent ooat of
rod velvet embroidered in gold. This
was presented to Napoleon when he was
first consul by the city of Lyons. A
quaint anecdote is attached to it One
morning at St Holona General Bertrond
paid his respects to his exiled master,
accompanied by his little granddaugh
ter. "How badly you are dressed, my
child I" remarked Napoleon to his ju
venile visitor. "But, sire, how can she
help it?" replied the general "Here in
8t Helena it is next to impossible to
buy anything worth having."
"Wait a momont," said Napoleon to
the little girl. "I am going to find you
something for a frock." As he spoke he
went to a drawer, opened it, took out
his own first consul's ooat and plaoed it
over the ohild'a shoulders, saying, with
a laugh, "Here, this is for you. " Qon
oral Bertrond preserved this gift with
the greatest oare, and it was from Mme.
Thayer that the prince's late father in
herited it by her bequest London

America is par excellence n democracy,
it is that personage) which constitute!)
its fundamental basis. If tho civiliza
tion of that country is to change ngain,
s it so often gives tho impression, it is
through tho workiiigmnn that it will
change, as Franco of 1 780, whoso ma
terial life rested on tho peasant, chang
ed through tho peasant. From timo to
timo formidable strikes, which every
where elso would be called civil wars,
seem to foretell 0110 of tlioso class du
els, tho Issue of which Is never doubt
ful. Tlia more miserable, ever since tho
world has been tho world, hnvo nlwi'.ys

However, nt other times and outsido

which has influenced so many emigrants
to leave everything and to como hero

"To be a good goiter, " says n femi
nine authority, "you must corameuco
early in lifo, and it is noticeable that
most pooplo loavo off very late. I have
seen a very pretty matron, the mother
of ten, keep her hungry fold waiting for

in acompnuylng her husband to India,
was therefore obliged to leave her small

are not, as a rule, so hopelessly daft over

like madness in men's brains. A non
