MIROOONED FOR THREE TEARS.
Sailor's Long Period ol Lonell
ness on Small Island Located
In the South Seas.
Marooning occasionally brings
about a modern Crusoe, just as it
did wiih Alexander Selkirk, who
was put ashore, at Juan Fernandez,
and whose adveniures gave Defoe
the foundation for ''Robinson
Crusoe." The trading schooner,
Queen Charlotte, passing a small
island of the Marquesas in the
South seas, landed her boat to in
vestigate the smoke of a fire, as it
was understood the island was un
inhabited. Here was found a
United. States seaman, who had
been pui ashore with 3 shipmates
by their captain, on account of
their mutinous conduct. The three
others had died, but the man from
Connecticut had contrived to live
on the fish he caught, and the
breadfruit and cocoanuts and other
products which he could gather.
When rescued after three years'
loneliness, his utensils consisted of
great shells, and two cups which
he possed, made from the skulls of
his companions.
NOT RFSTING BUT WAITING.
Idiot Boy, According; to Judge
Oary, Very Much Like the Rest
of the World. 1
Judge Gary was talking at a din
ner about the world s industrial
situation.
"All over the world," he said,
labor is earning more and produ
cing less. In England, for exam
ple, there are more coal miners
employed than ever and the pro
duction of coal is lower than ever.
"English labor reminds me of
an idiot boy.
"A farmer, out of pity, gave an
idiot boy a job. Then one after
noon the farmer walked across his
farm to see how the boy was do
ing. He found him lying on the
grass under a tree smoking a cigarette.
"'Well, Looney,' he said tht
boy was known as Looney in the
village 'Well, Looney, what are
you doing? Resting?'
'Looney took his cigarette out
of his mouth and answered:
" 'No, boss, I ain't resting,'
'cause I ain't tired. I'm just a-
Ifayin' here waitin' for the sun to
go down so's 1 kin quit work.' "

DIDNT KNOW HE WAS DEAD?
They arrived at home late from
the party. Wife took off her hat
and slammed it on the floor. Then
she confronted her hubby.
I'll never take you to another
party as long as I live!" she said.
"Why?" he calmly wanted to
know.
You asked Mrs. Jones how
her husband has been standing the

"Well, her husband has been

"She is selfish and spoiled," cried his sensible brain;
"Uncertain and thoughtless and terribly vain,
And all she would bring you is infinite pain."
"Perhaps," said his heart, "but I love her!"
"You're a fool 1" said his brain. "She is playing a game;
There's a look in your eyes thai she feels she must lame.
You are just one more moth to be burned by the flame."
"I know," said his heart, "but I love her !"
"And you know if you put her affection to test,"
Said his brain, "you'd find out what already you've guessed,
That she'd saw with a smile, 'You are just like the rest,' "
"Oh, it's true," cried his heart, "but 1 love her !"
THE SUMMER WINDS.
BY FRANK If STANTON.
Blow in, 0 winds, from summer banks of violets drippin' dew,
And whisper all the secrets the summer sings to you.
From groves where starlight sings to you.
On honeysuckle vines
And wildwood vineyards reeling wiih ripening muscadines I
Blow in, O winds, from meadows green, where soft moonlight dwells,
And waft us dream sweet echoes of tinkling cattle bells;
From rivers cool and deep
That seaward sing and sweep,
And rills that ripple sunshine and rock the flowers to sleep f
Blow in, 0 winds, with blessing for all the stormy years,
And be your breath the breath of Love, in light, that shines through tears;
And blow the blossoms sweei
From many a dim retreat,
And twine them in Love's tresses, and lay them at Love's feet I

or sickness he is a good fellow to have around. When
an opportuniiy comes for investment where you can better
