One of the most romantic love i te

turned from the South Seas the oth- fii

On board the Aorangi was the I P]
Watson's entire crew of seven men,
besides the young captain and the is
pretty Oregon girl whose romantic S<
honeymoon, begun with her marriage w
^ in a launch at sea, was interrupted tl]
by one of the most dramatic ship- Pj
wrecks in the history of the South c*
V # Sea Islands, and finally reached an
ideal stage when the lovers, rescued, 113
passed a fortnight in true honeymoon sa
style as guests of a South Sea chief re
upon:a coral island. 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- "

olm, on whom he turned for the b
rst time in his'life on the way from n
is own quarters to the big cage in a
hich the chimpanzees and orangutangs
sit. at a civilized feast once a
ay with human visitors as spectajrs.
The chimpanzee was in no t
mdition to eat after his knockout ^
ad perhaps he has seen the end of s
ublic banquets. . ^
The motive for yesterday's attack
as a vicious memory, of which Bal- E
y had not been suspected. Since b
eaches came into market that fruit t
as been served as desert. The suply
ran out at Saturday's dinner and g
aldy received bananas instead. He T
irew his plate to the floor and would s
ot touch the fruit. r
It was his habit to wind his arms ^
round the keeper's neck and hug a
im closely on the way to the feast. a
[e seemed as affectionate as ever j
hen Engelholm called for him yes- 2
jrday. In the dark passage between
le small cage and the big one he q
iddenly began to claw and bite En- ^
elholm. As the attack came as a j.
irprise Engelbolm's throat, face and e
3at were badly torn before there s
as time to put up a defense. E
Engelholm says they had seventeen r
nwitnessed rounds in the dark pas- s
age before his fist struck the knock- r
ut spot. Baldy is seven, weighs sevnty,
hasn't an ounce, of superfluous
at and can bite as hard as he can
law.
When the racket brought Keeper 5
Lichard Spicer to the scene there was
othing for him to do except help *

CHURCH STEEPLES.
nd the Ancient Mountain Peak
Shrines of the Storm God.
There is a theory which finds the
pire of the New England meeting <
ouse in the mountain peaks of Ara- '
ia.
Tracing back the process of evoluon,
we come first to London, where i
le clean sweep of the great fire gave
ir Christopher Wren his opportunity |
) experiment in steeples, and then
enice, where the campanile is a shin- <
lg example of a tower beside. a
tiurch, but separate from it, and then
) Alexandria, where the famous
ghthouse on the isle of Pharos con ibuted
to the religion of Mohammed !
oth the form and the name of the
linaret, and then to the tower of
oV?ol of Rnrcinna nnrl thp zikkurats I
UU^-1 OV JL/VA MMM WMW ?
f the temples of Babylonia and Asrria.
A zikkurat is a huge quadranular
mass of brick, rising in dimin;hing
stories?as a child places a big
lock on the floor and puts a smaller
ne on it and on that a smaller still
-and ascended by a winding balus-aded
stair to a shrine on top.
This, according to the theory, was
ie ritual equivalent of a mountain.
Into the flat lands between the Tiris
and Euphrates came the ancesDrs
of the Babylonians and Assyrians
ut of the mountains of Arabia,
here they had worshipped the storm
od, who dwelt upon tne neignis
mong the clouds, with whom they
ommuned like Moses, by climbing
p and making their offerings and
lying their prayers upon the sumlit.
And because there were no
lountains in their new country they
rected beside every temple a little
lonutain in the yard. Thus the
ikkurat, and then the minaret, and
hen the campanile and then the
teeple of the parish church.?George

Strangely Tongue Tied.
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. Barier,
a pioneer of Pawnee county.
f<Early settlers remember that for
Qiles you could see a white polished
ielt on every telegraph pole where
luffalo had scratched their shaggy
lides when tormented by buffalo
;nats. I was told that many poles
yere broken by the vast army of
cratching animals. A certain raiload
official who lived in Boston
7here the shoes were made, bought
.11 the pegging awls on the market
nd had the section men drive them
nto the posts until they looked like
;iant cacti.
"The herds came and saw and con[uered.
They fought for first place at
he poles and tickled their mangy
lides with the awls, which were brokn
by the joyful bulls that still
cratched on the remnants until the
loles fell. Needless to say, the renaming
awls were withdrawn from
ervice at once."?Kansas City JourLai.
Pigs Ate $36.00 in Good Bills.
Washington, July 9.?A three'ear-old
Chicago boy rifled his mothir's
pocket book of $36 in bills?
lis lather's wages, and fed his pet
guinea pigs with them. The father
enf the remnants of the pigs' meal to
^resident Taft to-day with an appeal
o the government to redeem the enire
roll. The man is the sole sup>ort
of a big family on $1.75 a day.
"You being the only one in Washngton
I know," he wrote to the presdent,
"I am sending them to you."
As only small ends of the bills
rere recovered the treasury of the
Jnited States will call upon the fathsr
to prove conclusively that the bills
vere eaten by the pigs.

Yew York Music Teachers "Shown'
by Hypnotist.
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. Of course, lik<
* Vt.

is 22?she used to go around th<
house singing about Mr. Brown, o
rising from dreams of antique wood
en buckets, but the result did no
drive the Graham canary to moul
from jealousy.
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

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.

e - . Character. ,
Character is the quality that keeps
' us always ourselves. It stands nearest
to that innermost part of us that .
each calls "myself," sometimes it is
even hard to distinguish the two. But
o I like to keep character in my bodys
guard. Character stands firm under
e every trial, if we give it the chance
e to do so. It says to all the enemies
- ?temptation, discouragement, bad
S luck, the blues, and hosts of others
r ?"You may defeat the rest of the
army, but you dare not come near
n the general." Character is the qualf
ity that always reminds me that I am
t. myself. It stands just next to myself: I
e and goes on repeating, "Be yourself! ^
l? Don't forget who you are; don't act g
a below yourself." Wherever it began,
character is the first in our body- .
r guard. He will never desert. A boy i
or girl Who has character, who keeps 4
o character strong and alive, can never J
e truly be defeated.?St. Nicholas. <
