Ti ; . Back of the story of a honeymoon , t 10 spent on a coral isle is the tale of a "* ; brave young captain's courtship and of the wreck of one of the stanchest schooners that ever set out from a Pacific coast port. Its most dramatic feature is the account of how the tr skipper's pretty bride stayed alone . in t,he ship's small boat after the A schooner had been waterlogged on . a reef, expecting every moment to see the hulk with her husband on ^ :. board, take a last plunge to the bottorn of the sea. The bride had been provided with a hatchet, and ^she m was instructed to cut the rope if the schooner should start to sink and pull ca >. the small boat after it. A . The Watson left Shoal Water Bay, ^ on ?uget Sound, January 13 last, with UJ ?i-" a cargo of 400,000 feet of lumber. .n In command was Skipper Andresen, a^ V a blue-eyed, 6-foot, upstanding young a{ aailorm&n. He is a Norseman of the aj type. that has sailed the seas ever since the days of the brave Vikings. ^ v : ? The young captain's heart, as his ship gl left port, was filled with anticipations rc and happy thopghts, for during the m jf v brief pause of his vessel at Raymond, ^ Oregon, he had wooed and won, with ^ a sailor's tempestuous ardor, Miss ^ ;, Ann ,de Lateur, a charming belle tt whose parents are among the promi- m nent residents of Pendleton, Oregon. d( V The captain left with his cargo of h( lumber for the far-off port of Pa- h peete, in the South Seas, where Miss de Lateur was to meet him and they . < IE \> were to become man and wife. After 59 days at sea he reached Papeete, where he found his sweetheart waiting to get married. B * To his consternation the captain found that it was impossible to get a marriage license until the banns had 5 been posted for 30 days by .the m French authorities. The doughty t captain hired a gasoline launch and, ei with the assistance of a kindly priest, b I Father Christian,-the marriage cere- fi mony was performed four miles out b at sea. w After the Watson had discharged oi a portion of her cargo, sail was set d; f - ; for Riotea, a picturesque port on an t< island of that name, where the re- c< mainder of the cargo was to be dis- a: } charged. p; The Waston reached Riotea one day later?the distance is not much w more than a hundred and fifty miles d; ?but when they reached the port pi the ship was leaking. It was propos- h; ed to return to Papeete, where there i>. is a shipyard for repairs. B At midnight it commenced to blow tl and the forward watch reported a n reef ahead. The anchor was cast, but the Watson slowly drifted toward a: the reef. In the morning the water h was eighteen inches deep below the H fieck and the captain's wife was put w in one of the two small boats, which t< was attached to the schooner by a tl manilla cable. She was instructed si to cut the cable if the schooner g should sink. , si At 9 o'clock the Watson, having j c< dragged her anchor, struck the ree', j * and within ten minutes the big: schooner had gone to pieces. u Capt. Andresen, First Mate Han- s? sen and the second mate got into the o small boat with Mrs. Andresen. The e other sailors took another small boat, fc Behind the reef the water was almost c; as calm as a mill pond. After rowing three miles they reached the E land, one of the innumerable coral n islands that dot the South Pacific c; seas. Here they were welcomed by b a native chief, who took the casta- p * ways in and gave them; every consid- t! eration. c Now, for the first time, Capt. An- fi dresen and his bride really began to b spend their honeymoon. For two a weeks they remained upon South Sea o Island. e Great cocoanut palms lined the beach of this island. Before it, in fi a semicircle, stretched a coral reef, a making a little breakwater behind v, * which one could look deep down T through the glassy surface of the wa- " i EN'S I iC HONEYMOON * / s] and His Bride, Ship- & Seas.?Spent Two b ^oral Island.

The police of a western city tell a ingular story of the capture of a urglar there. During severely cold -eather the burglar went out alone ne night to make a raid on a small ank. His plan was to enter through window at the rear of the building nd to make his way through the ofces to the vault. An iron grating rotected the window. The night was intensely cold and tie streets were like glass, a heavy now having melted as it fell and hen frozen smooth and hard. While he burglar was filing the first bar of he grating his foot slipped, throwing im forward violently against the dndow. As luck would have it, the fall erked his mouth open, his tongue ras forced between his lips, and froze astantly to the icy iron bars. All forts to release himself were vain, s nothing short of pulling his tongue ut by the roots would have effected his, and he could not bring himself o that. A watchman making his ound found him a half hour later Imost dead with cold. ' The burglar is alive and safely loused in jail, but^his tongue was .ever used again, being completely nd 'hopelessly paralyzed. Tickled the Buffalos. How a Yankee railroad man once ried to protect telegraph poles in western Kansas from the buffalo and ignally failed is related by H. J.

The eyes of 100 or so music teach' ers, singers and physicians were de^ lighted yesterday bv the sight of ? good-looking young woman singing ii her sleep. She was sitting, singing on the stage of Earl Hall at Colum bia University, where the New Yorl' State Music Teachers' Association ii having its convention, and she wai singing because Charles Munter, wh< has a "Prof" before his name, tolc her tb go to sleep and do it. Mr Munter says that the young woman who is Miss Marion H. Graham, can'i sing at all until he comes along even now and then and hypnotizes her. Most every one is a critic of pul chritude, but none of the reporter: present was a music critic, and s( while it's safe to say that Miss Gra ham is good looking, even wnne sn< is asleep w*th her mouth open, ther< must be silence as to her music. Tc the lay ear it sounded like regula; singing. And before this goes an: further it may be reassuring to stat< that nowher in this piece will yoi find any mention of a young womai who sang so well while she was hyp notized by a foreign feller in a bean in a book that our fathers name( small feet after her. Miss Graham is secretary to Mr Munster, who has thought up a chest expanding, deep-breath, compelling health-giving garment in time, an< she says that she never has takei any music lessons.

Last February Miss Graham wen to see a throat specialist, Dr. Fran! E. Miller, and had an operation per formed for an abscess. She happen ed to say that it had always beei her ambition to be a singer, but no\ she never could be. Dr. Miller trie< out her voice on his piano and thei said: "Well, they'll have to hypnotiz you before you can ever sing." "That's easy," said Miss Graham "let's try it.'V-New York Sun. Moved Sea to City. Though it is eighteen years ag since the Manchester Ship Canal wa inaugurated, few people beyond th reilms of this Lancashire realize th importance of this great inland wa ter-way, that carries ocean-goin ships into the heart of one of ou largest cities. The ship canal is a trifle more tha: 35 miles in length and has a depth o 26 feet, whilst it is 300 feet in widtt or as wide as the Suez. In places th canal is 60 feet above the sea level and it cost considerably more tha: $75 000.000 to build. ' ~ 1 ~ ~ - 7 In cities like Bristol, Ipswich o Chatham, approached, as they ar( by tidal waterways, one expects t find ships, but hardly in a city mor than forty miles from the open sea. The biggest canal in importance i that conecting Peking and Cantor in China, 1,000 miles in length. Th Suez canal is 900 miles long, th Caledonian 60 miles, and in Grea Britain and Ireland the inland wa terways total no fewer than 3,90 miles, more than 3,000 of which ar in England.?Answers, London.
