iMADE BRAVE FIGHT FOR LIFEi Half-Breed Sailor, Wreckrd Off Phil, ippinest Simply Determined He Would Not Die. Among the crew of the Poigat, a Alp that foundered off Malabon, In the Philippines, was a half-breed a&ilor named Alejandro Lorenzo. Id the moment of the ship's sinking he was agile enough, and lucky enough, to leap clear of the wreck and escape the deadly suction of the disappearing vessel. He was alive and uninjured, tat he was many miles from shore, and there was no help in sight w After swimming for an hour he found a hatch cover on which he rested. Then pushing the hatch cover ahead, he started for San Nicolas. He was just reaching shallow water when the tide carried him out to sea again. As night came on the wind increased and the waves tossed him and his hatch cover back and forth till he was almost exhausted, being washed toward the Cavite shore. For several hours he drifted in, but just as his hope grew strong the tide and wind swept him in spite of his struggles once more out to sea. ~ "* * ' -v-J hie 1mr KOmeUQing Drusiitni o^ouim uw .va. He thought that it was a shark and J* screamed in fear. "It did not touch < ; me, or I should have gone mad," he said. The water was cold, the night mis dark and the rain beat down on htm. He heard a cry in the darkness, and pushed his hatch cover in the direction whence the sound came. He found a Filipino boy, another survivor of the wreck, clinging to an oil box. They drifted together, t When daylight came they could see x - boats, but could not make themselves beard or seen. They were tortured by thirst, salt water got Into their mouths, they drifted all day. Night came again. Soon after dark >y: they saw the lights of a breakwater, and with new hopes noticed that the [ lights grew larger and more distinct ? They were being washed toward the ^1% shore. But the boy could not hold out Taken with cramps, he lost his hold on the oil box and went dottn. ^ The man was washed into the middle of the bay and drifted all night ' At dawn he was almost ready to give up, but the wind and waves headad him for the shore and he took heart Then he saw boats and used . v- '> his last strength in trying to reach - ' them. The boatmen saw him, were able to get to him in time and picked ' him out of the water. There was not .much of the man left and shrieking for water, he collapsed in the bottom (?? of the boat u'": ' As he lay on a pallet, after he found himself able to, talk again, his resellers spoke of his wonderful endurance. Alejandro in reply said that of course, he had done the best he iSM- j Coold. He wanted to live, he said.? ^ vllew York Herald. PLANT PEANUTS ? I The Cotton sfem I ' pi.'

Here is a double marriage at Salem, Ore., in which one bridegroom is both father-in-law and stepfather to the other, while the other become? both j j son-in-law and stepson. The doors of j j the county clerk's office were just closing when two men appeared and asked if it were possible to obtain marriage licenses at so late an hour. Upon being assured that a license could be issued, Auguet Kluge, aged fifty-four, and a carpenter by trade, produced the necessary physical certificate and received a license to marry Mrs. C. K Kayser, forty-five of this city. Mr. Kayser's mother is the prospective bride of Mr. Kluge, so the couules probably will have no little trou | ble In trying to decide their relationi ship to each other.?St. Louis Repubj lie. Untidy Streets. Thw New York Merchants' association has an antilitter bureau, that is now engaged in a campaign against dirty streets. The cost of cleaning up the refuse that should have been dropped into the very convenient containers, but is just dropped in the street instead, is enormous. School children are reported as serious offenders, for they bring paper from the schoolroom and tear and scatter it upon the streets. That Isn't patriotic ?not a bit Trademark, as It Were. Walford wanted to go to his Aunt Addle, but had a dirty face. His mother said: If Aunt Addle has company she would be ashamed of ! you with such a dirty face."
