American steel freighter Hewitt, out
of Sahine Pass. Texas. for Itoston.

while hound from Hlo l>e .fnnelro for
Norfolk, a man other than the mas

Two days, later the yt*s?el w?s found

was received to the numerous at

the lightship to attract the ? vessel '
attention."
The department's sunimary then

message was picked up in a bottle
near Cape Ilatteras.
"Deering captured bvv. till burning

SAVING DlD HIM NO 6COD
Fate Hod Laugh at Man Who Prac
ticed Self-Dental in the Use
of Tobacco.
"Six years ago." said Smlthsun, **I
made up my mind flint I was .smoking
too much. It didtrt? seem to affect my
health in tlio least, hut I thought it a
foolish waste of money, and I decided
to give It up."
"A very sensible Idea," remarked
Brownlow.
"So I thought at the time. I reck
oned up as closely as I could how
much I had been spending each day
on cigars and tobacco. That sum I
set aside each morning, and started a
banking account with It. I wanted to
be able to show exactly how much I
had saved by not smoking."
"And how did It work?*' inquired
Brownlow.
"At the end of si* years I had ?150
In the bank."
"Good! Could you let me ? "
"And a few days later," Interrupted
Smlthson, "last Tuesday, in fact ? the
bank failed. You haven't got * cigar
about you. have you?"
She Objected at Last.
He had Just gone Into the grocery
business and did nothing except talk
"shop-shop-shop" when he went to
see his best girl. At first she endured
It because she did not wish to offend
him ; later merely because she could
find no way to reprove him.
But her chance came. Onp night
when he was at hor house he picked
up the telephone book and began
Idly to glance through It. His Idle
manner became one of Interest 11s he
scanned one page. Then her wrath
overcame her. "It's been bad enough
to hear you talk about nothing else
but that old store," she stormed, ''but
It's too much for you to come tn my
house and go through the telephone
book hunting out prospective custom
ers."
