Shut up alone In that the big cylindrical lighthouse rises 70 feet from a ledge of rock at the mouth of Stamford harbor, to warn mariners of the treacherous Mrs Bhoals and rocks all around, Lopisa Welckman kept the light for two days, a prey to fear for the safety of her only daughter and her John J.

'Mother, we cant land! he cried. Well go back to shore and come out when this Is over. You keep the light going.' The little boat drifted oft and pretty soon John got up power. Then he seemed to drift again, and I Baw a steamboat bear down on him. The launch was just a speck when the steamboat came along, and when it passed I could see no more of John and my daughter. I tried to think they were picked up by the steamboat, but I could not persuade myself they were. The thought that came to me was that they were run down and drowned. I have known a lot of sorrow, but 1 dont think I ever suffered so much as that night I was powerless to do anything, even to get word ashore. All 1 could do was watch, pray and hope. I lit the light and took up a position at the window in the tower. There 1 stayed all night long, going downstairs only to keep the fires burning. Sleep I did not dream of, food I did not want. When daybreak came and no tidings my anxiety increased. The day went by and night came on again. I felt sure then that my children were drowned. Then, about sunset, some one came out in a launch. It looked like John and another man. They could not come close to the lighthouse, but they circled about and went ashore. This was a ray of hope, and again at ten last night some one hailed the light from the darkness: Are you all right? the voice cried. Tm from Sound Beach, and if you want assistance I'll bring it. I said I wanted nothing but my son and daughter. The voice did not answer at first, and then as the boat disappeared it Said: Theyve been picked up on Long Island. I beard no more. I kept awake as long as I could, and when my head began to get numb I got the alarm clock and set it so that I would not sleep long.

A shocking experience occurred to four Peshtigo harbor fishermen Hans Opsahl, William Johnson, Nicholas Nelson and Charles Lubas while lifting nets on the ice south of Peshtigo point. They were carried out on loose ice into the open lake, where they were exposed 36 hours. The field of ice began to separate into small pieces and start- ed to blow away. The current was so swift that the four men were being carried out rapidly and with apparently no chance of getting back, the ice breaking into small pieces, increasing the danger for them. Fortunately they had with them some ice cutters, and these they used to detach small portions of the ice field. Each man in this way managed to cut enough of the ice to float upon, and succeeded in crossing the own space and finally reaching the shore. The men had nothing to eat, and in facing the wintry blasts they were almost exhausted when they reached shore. In the meantime their friends on shore ad become greatly alarmed about theifi and had procured gasoline launches and set out in search. The boats were unable to make any progress, and the attempt had to be given up.

Every man wanted to be boss in his own right and continually lessened attention to the leadership of Mr. The culmination of this revolt came with the financial measure of which Mr. Aldrich was the author and which was modified and changed and made more drastic to suit the varying whims of those who refused to have their noses counted and vote two-third- s Ominous.

With this revolution Mr. Aldrich saw the handwriting on the wall and decided to abandon the struggle for supremacy. Ho would gladly relinquish his posi tion now, before it is necessary next year to pilot a revised tariff bill through the senate and appease those representing many conflicting interests and sections. But he has more than two years yet to serve and does not care to run in the middle of a fight. He will wait until his term expires, being fully aware that perhaps the last vestige of tactical control may be wrested away from him in the very next contest. Since the Aldrich bill passed a quiet canvas has been made among Republican senators for the purpose of ascertaining if a combination to overthrow the bosslsm of Mr. Aldrich can be formed. It is proposed to bind 20 or more Republican senators into a hard and fast agreement to on various matters of nonpartisan Acting with the Demolegislation. crats, this number could enact all kinds of radical or reformatory laws and send them on to the house, despite the most vigorous antagonism of Mr. Aldrich.

FRIENDS HELP. St. Paul Park Incident, After drinking coffee for breakfast I always felt languid, and dull, having no ambition to get to my morning duties. Then In about an hour or so a weak, nervous derangement of the heart and stomach would come over me with such force I would frequently have to lie down. At other times I had severe headaches; stomach finally became affected and digestion so impaired that I had serious chronic dyspepsia and constipation. A lady, for many years State President of the W. C. T. U., told me she had been greatly benefited by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee; she was troubled for years with asthma. She said it was no cross to quit coffee when she found she could have as delicious an article as Postum. Another lady who had been troubled with chronic dyspepsia for years, found immediate relief on ceasing coffee and beginning Postum twice a She was wholly cured. Still day. another friend told me that Postum Food Coffee was a Godsend to her, her heart trouble having been relieved after leaving off coffee and taking on Postum. So many such cases came to my notice that I concluded coffee was the cause of my trouble and I quit and took up Postum. I am more than pleased to say that my days of trouble have disappeared.
