"Mdn overboard!" shouted an excit ed passenger on an Atlantic liner, as he hastily left hi3 place at the dinner . table and scrambled up the companion way. An affrighted crowd of ladies and gentlemen followed him. He was wild ly expostulating with the captain on decITwheu they surrounded him with eager inquiries. "Where is he? Who is he?'' they de manded, and the originator of the scara laid his head on his breast and said, with melodramatic air: "Here he is! I am the man over bored. I have been compelled to sit four days at the same table with three men who can't talk about anything but golf. I want my place changed, or I'll get out and walk." FIVE CHILDREN T0WORK FOR Quite an Undertaking For a Lady, but Mrs. Wright Doesn't Mind Now. Asheville, N. C. Mrs. Minnie Wright, of It. P. D. No. 1, this city, says: "I dont think there is any medicine made that would have done me the good Cardui, the woman's ton ic, did. I have five children to work for, and I praise Cardui for giving me the good health to do it. I was in a delicate condition, on ac count of a relapse of measles which left me in a bad shape, and I also had severe headaches and backache. Was in too bad a fix for anyoue to live, it teemed to me. 1 was told that my only chance was an operation, but I decided to try Car dui instead. I only took two bottles, and now I am well and strong again. I don't believe there is any medicine on earth that will help suffering wom en as Cardui will. I have already gotten several ladies to try it, and I am going to continue to recommend your medicine." For more than GO years, Cardui has been successfully used in the treat ment of womanly ills. It has been found to relieve women's pains, and strengthen vomen's weakness. If you are a woman, and suffer from any of the ailments peculiar to your sex, we urge you to give Cardui a trial. It has helped more than a million women in the past half century, and will do the same for you if given a fair trial. Your druggist sells Cardui. N. B.

H TO CURE ECZEMA, ITCH AND ALL SKIN DISEASES Don't suffer any longer with eczema or any other skin trouble. Just apply Hancock's Sulphur Compound to the pr.rts affected and It will stop the itch ing at once and cure the trouble per manently.

Va.. writps: "Three years ago I had a rough place on my cheek. It would burn and itch. I was fearful it might be of cancerous r.e- ture. I used different preparations, but nothing helped it. One bottle of Hancock's Sulphur Compound cured roe completely." To beautify the (om plejiion. remove blackheads and pimples use Hancock's Sulphur Oint ment. For sale by all dealers. Adv. An Event. Mamma Tommy, what do you say to T7rle Titewadd for giving you the penny? Tommy Gee! I'm too s'prised tc say anything! Judge. jL ""p IRATES!" said the captain. "I sometimes wish I had been born a couple of hun dred years ago. I might have been caught and hanged, but on the other hand I might have made a fortune; and that's a thing beyond the reach of any cap tain of a trading schooner in this year of our Lord 1913." "Hut if you think piracy has been swept off the face of the waters en tirely, you're mightily mistaken. The Canton river swarms with that kind of thief, and the last time I was in China I had a run in with some of them. "That was five years ago. I was second mate on the Orion, trading between Frisco and Hongkong. On the first trip out I found that we would have to wait a couple of weeks before we could get oUr return cargo on board. I had a friend in Canton, a tea merchant, and the captain al lowed me to run up and pay him a visit. "He was glad to see me, and to pass the time proposed a trip further up the river in a houseboat to a place where there was good snipe shooting. I don't believe I could hit an ostrich flying, much less a snipe, but I Type Piratc Vessels thought I would like to see what the back parts of the country were like. "We started one morning early, my friend, a young Englishman and my self. We had with u as lok and general help a crosseyed son of a washerman named Ah Kum. He had rascal written all over his face; but they told me he was the best hand at chicken curry in the country. I de termined to keep1 my eye on him, but as matters turned out he kept his on me and raised me one better. Captain Was Excited. "We sailed up. the river for three days without getting very far away from where we started, for the cur rent runs six knots an hour. We went on shore the fourth morning and shot snipe In the rice fields, at least the other two men did. At night we tied the boat to a tree. It's a pleasant way of traveling if one's not in a hurry. "About five o'clock the next day we pacsed a guard boat, the captain of which hailed us. We drew up along side and he made a speech. He seemed to be exciting himself about something, but as he spoke Chinese we were none the wiser. We asked Ah Kum what the man was driving at He smiled and said the captain want ed a present. So we took no further notice of him and sailed en until we came to a creek, in which we tied up for the night. "It might have been about 12 o'clock when I was roused by hearing a splash of oars alongside, and short ly after that a number of men jumped cn board. I shook ray friend and he leaped up and. yelled for Ah Kum. No one answered. I grabbed for my gun, but it was gone. So I pulled out the derringer I always sleep with under my pillow and fired into the dark ness. There was a yell as if some body had stopped the bullet and a stinkpot was hurled through the win dow right into the middle of us. "Don't know what a stinkpot is. eh? It's an earthenware shell filled with some kind of abomination or oth er, and when it is lighted and thrown into a room every one in that apart ment has to quit or be suffocated. "Clear out of this, boys!" shouted my friend. "Bursting open the door he rush"d out and plunged into the river. We were not long in following suit. One of our visitors made a slash at me with a sword as I passed him, but I lodged. We scrambled up the bank and ran for our lives. They sent a few shots after us, but made no at tempt at pursuit. I guess they were nt particularly anxious to kill us. What they wanted was the plunder. "It was bitterly cold and we had nothing on but our pajamas, so you may imagine how glad we were when after stumbling along the bank for four or five miles we saw the lights of the guard boat. That Chink officer was a trump. He looked at us and laughed, shook his finger at us and made a speech, but finding we did not understand him he stopped talking, took us down into his cabin and gave us a supper of pork dumplings and hot tea.. Ah Kum Disappeared. "At daylight he sent out a party to look for our boat. The thieves had carried away everything portable. But they had not molested the crew, so we got back to Canton without any difficulty. We felt pretty mean land ing in dirty pajamas. "There is no doubt that the whole affair was a put up job of Ah Kum's, for he disappeared along with the pirates. He never even turned up to ask for his wages, and when a China man does that there's something in his conduct he wishes to conceal. "No, the river pirates are not blood thirsty as a rule. A Chink is too prac tical for that. If he can get what he wants without killing you he won't take your life. But, if necessary, he 1 will murder a hundred babies to get 50 cents. It's all a question of ex pediency. "Now, in the taking of the native boat Kum Shan, which happened about a year after I left the country, there was considerable bloodshed. That was because the officers and passen gers showed fight, when they ought to have had sense enough to see that they had no chance. "About fifty pirates got themselves up as harmless, coolies and paid their passage to Hongkong. They dis persed themselves among the other deck passengers and conversed affably about the weather and the state of the cropR. "Forty miles down the. river, just where the stream begins to widen, a junk lying close in shore fired a gun. This was the signal for each peaceful looking coolie to produce a short sword from under hi3 blouse. One j party dived into the engine room. An other lot rushed up to the upper deck. Those in the engine room made quick work of the first and second engineers. They then shut off steam, bringing the boat to a standstill. "Those on the upper deck didn't have an easy job. The passengers saw them coming and bolted to the captain's cabin, where the arms were kept. There appears to have been considerable of a fight, for there was a good deal of firing, but six or seven white men had no chance against for ty or fifty pirates. Anyhow, all of the defenders except one young man were killed. ; "When the fighting was over three large junks came alongside and the cargo was transferred. The boat was emptied. Not a thing of any value was left on board. "Did the Chinese passengers make any resistance? . Not such fools. They were not armed, and if they had been there Was no one to lead them. ( "So you see, piracy isn't quite a I dead trade yet. If you doubt my word, ! just go over to China and take a trip up the river in company with a bag of dollars. Give out that you have money on board, and anchor at night in un frequented spots. It won't be long be fore you get a chance of proving that I am telling the truth." Short Stories. Briggs I see that Hilpin took a course in short story writing and has been quite successful at it. Griggs What do you mean?

AROSE TO THE EMERGENCY How' Engineer Proved Worthy of His Position When the Occasion Came to Try Him. The engineer of a Chicago suburban train showed the other day that a cool and experienced head is equal toalmost any emergency. A side rod had brok en, and with every revolution of the - wheels, was demolishing the cab and the mechanism by which the engine is operated. He was able to shut off the power, but the airbrake control had been destroyed, and the train went dashing on. Having done all that mortal could do with the apparatus that was left intact, he left the cab, climbed over the coal in the tender and swung down on the platform of the first car. There, reaching for the air cord, he brought the train to a stop in a few hundred feet. If he had whistled for brakes the train crew might not have responded in as little time as it took him to do the thing himself. ; SKIN TROUBLE ITCHED BADLY ; Glenns P. O., Va "My baby's trou ble began with an itching and then a little bump would come and she could not rest day or night. The trou- ble affected her whole body. The bumps festered and came to a head j and the corruption looked like thick: ', matter, kind of a yellow color. The sores itched so badly until it seemed , to me she would scratch herself to pieces and then, a sore would form t and her clothes would stick to her j ' body and pull off the little scab. In some places she would scratch and irritate the sores until they seemed ' to be large. She was affected about a year. "I wrote for a sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I bathed her body in warm water and Cuticura Soap and then I applied the Cuticura Ointment, and they afforded relief aft- er twice using. I bought some more Cuticura Soap and Ointment and in side of two weeks she was cured." i (Signed) Mrs. J. It. Greggs, Nov. 21, I 1912. . j Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold ! throughout the world.

Adv, How Famous Hymn Was Written. , As Tennysou's nurse was sitting one clay at his bedside, sharing to a de gree the general anxiety about the patient, she said to him suddenly: "You have written u great many poems, sir, but I have never heard anybody say that there is a hymn j among them all. I wish, sir, you would write a hymn while you are ly ing on your sick bed. It might help and comfort many a poor sufferer." The next morning, when the nurse had taken her quiet place at the bed Bide, the poet handed her a scrap of paper, saying: "Here is the hymn you wished me to write." She took it from his hands with ex pressions of grateful thanks. It' proved to be "Crossing the Bar," the poem that was sung in Westminster ! abbey at Tennyson's funeral, and ' which has touched so many heart. Obeying His Doctor.
