Bullen, Hoted Author, With Jim Turk, the aivcr Front Boss. Frank T. Bullen, -who has -written sev eral Interesting' volumes on life at sea, slves an account of a- visit to Portland In his latest hook, "With Christ at Sea," -which is the record of religious expe riences on board ship for 15 years. Though 3r. Bullen is purposely sparing of names and dates, it Is not difficult to identify the characters he met on the -water front of Portland. The visit is thus described: We had rather a long passage to Port lend, as passages of sailing ships go 64 days but none of the starboard -watch, I am sure, ever spent a tedious hour. For ray part; In addition to the usual duties of a foremast hand -when he Is below making and mending his clothes, -washing -them and taking his turn as cook of the mess I -was endeavoring to teach myself navigation with an occasional hint from the mate, an amiable little Jerseyman, so that, take it all around, I -was kept lairly busy, and my watch also found plenteous employment in one way and another. We got less sleep than usual, hut our -waking hours -were lived, not unp away. As to the "Intolerable te dium of a long voyage," no sailor -worth his salt ever uses such -words. There should never "be any tedium at eea. At last, with the usual amount of ex citement, as none of us had been there before, we made the bar of the Columbia River, and far inland saw the snowy peak of Mount St Helens towering: purely sky ward like a conical stationary cloud, be ing only about 90 miles away. We took steam and towed in across the bar, learn ing -with a. good deal of satisfaction that we were shortly to proceed up the noble river before us to the City of Portland. Satisfaction for two reasons: we wanted to see the river scenery, and we did not fancy the loneliness of Astoria, the port at the river's mouth, where one large ship, the Desdemona, was lying loading. It may seem strange that a sailor should talk about the loneliness of a harbor after the vast solitudes of the ocean, but it Is so. The privacy of the sea he takes for granted; it must be so, but an unpeopled harbor he resente; it la as it he were being defrauded of his right to conmanv after being so long away from any other than that of his shipmates. , For myself, I longed more than anything else to view the scenery of this wonder ful tart of the world. It was new to me, and I was told that it was very beauti ful. And ever since the awakening of my soul I had grown more and more in love with the beautiful things of earth and sea and sky. What people call the esthetic sense of beauty in its true light is, I believe, more strongly fostered by the knowledge of the Jove of God than anything else. I know of people whose re ligion is of that gloomy, distorted. God- dishonoring kind that almost looks upon enthusiastic admiration for the work of God In creation as sin. Poor souls, they mean well, hut what envious spirit can have bewitched them Into the appalling belief that he who considered the lilies and the sunset glow, who spread the world with beauty indescribable, enriching every nook of earth with loveliness for his own delight, should desire his dear children to blind themselves for his pleas tire! No, I do not believe that there Is any education in a love of the beautiful so thorough, so effective, as that gained by an acquaintance with Jesus Christ. In due time we left our moorings, and in tow -of one of the stately, towering river-bteamers that Americans delight In we departed. The Willamette Chief, our imposing motor it seemed almost irrev erent to speak of her as a tug, so splendid did she appear by our side glided up stream against the considerable current with great ease, at no time exerting all her power. That great sternwheel of hers seemed Irresistible. The view as we turned bend after bend was truly enchanting, especially to me, ,"whose opportunities of looking upon in land scenery had been so small. Those solemn, endless avenues of pines coming right down to the water's edge, and re flecting the tall pillars of their stems In the placid surface of the rh'er, especially appealed to me. I could not help com paring them with the vastly different vegetation on the banks of the Clarence, in New South Wales, up which I so often steamed when lamp-trimmer in the Hel en McGregor. I do not remember how long we were towing- up; I only know that the time seemed very short, and before we could realize that the long up ward tow was nearly at an end. Portland, with its rows of double-tiered wharves, its fine buildings and clusters of shipping, burst into view. The Jleetlnpr With. Jim Turk. And now. comlns- nir tn o ... n -.J boat, bumping alongside, and climbing over the rail with a strange air of pro prietorship, came an individual whom I must describe .further. Without taking any notice of the "after guard" he strolled forward and Introduced himself lu us as we stood grouped together star- S &KJ-hi cIty- Tn,s was "8 James J.urk. the keeper of a respectable boarding-bouse for seamen to which he pres ently invited us. He Informed us cas ually that wages for "A. B.'s" were there forty dollars a month, and that the paltry formality of setting a legal discharge need not trouble us. (It appears they "don't go much' on discharges here.) "An' ye'll git tew mont's advance, y' know 'fore ever ye go aboard,' he added. This last was rather too much .for ma to listen to silently, so with the utmost politeness I said: "Who'll get two months' advance, did you say?" "Anybody as ships here," he replied excitedly, "you, ef ye like ter be man enough f git yer dunnage an stip into my boat thefs 'long side." "Thanks,' I murmured, "I thought the hoarding-master usually got the advance, and the sailor that was fool enough to have anything to do with him got a oroKen neaa ana a lew bruises if he ven tured to ask for what belonged to him." Swift as thought the wild beast stood revealed man-stealer, murderer, criminal of loathllest shape. Can any term of opprobrium be too severe to apply to these demons of American ports, whose awful trade has been a blot upon the fair fame of the great Republic for so many years? This particular devil burst forth into a torrent of flaming blasphemies against us all, and myself In particular, lurid language- to which none of us answered a word, until presently big Jem stepped forward quietly and said: "My vrient, yu vants de crace of Gott 1 iery Datt. Shall I ever again see such a trans formation? The truculent villain looked stupidly, first at Jem. then at us all, one after the other, and then wearily turned away. So he passed from our ken and we saw him no more, but afterwards we heard that this particular specimen of the Pa cific Coast boarding-master had a reputa tion for evil-doing second to none in all that foul fraternity, and we were assured that we might be exceedingly grateful that none of us had been waylaid by his orders and brutally done to death. But I do not know. It has been my experience that in most cases where sailors have been thus evilly -treated it has been "because they themselves have been consenting parties in a measure; that they have willingly gone to those places where they were most easily trapped. Poor brother seamen, as if you had not sufficient ene mies without you yourselves giving those enemies all the -facilities they require to work you harm? . For two days we did not feel inclined to go ashore. There was much to be done, and -when the day's workfwas -over it was pleasanter to "sit upon the fo'c's'le head and smoke than to go rambling we knew not -whither. But on the third day Bob and I were painting the ship's hottom or as much of It as we could get at with some vile patent compound that could aot be thinned like ordinary paint. It was so thick and ropy that no brush could spread it, and we were fain to plaster it on Iron plates with our bare hands. To do this we stood upon a raft which was fastened so that It lay between our "bows and the -wharf. We must have presented a gruesome sight, with that filthy green compound besmearing our arms and clothing. But we were In our usual good-humored state of mind, and as we plastered the paint on we sang, cheerily, heartily, for we were out of hear ing of the deck and there was no Infrac tion of discipline in our so doing. Pres ently we became aware that some one was joining in the chorus of one of our songs, "The Home Over There;" I think, and, looking up, we saw a well-dressed young man who was sitting on the edge of the wharf dangling his legs. As soon as we saw him he stopped and entered into conversation by saying: British, and American Sailors. "1 can't think what has come over you British sailors; you seem so different to the men who man our vessels." X replied that I was afraid there was not much to choose between us, but he cut me short by saying: "Oh, yes, there is. For some time past I have been noticing $he behavior of the ships' crews that .come here, and I have always found a better class of men In the British vessels. But that is not solely the reason why I spoke to you. I am a Christian, and although I am a landsman, earning my living In a book-store, I have also -a great affection for sailors. Now, we have no special-organization here for the religious benefit of seafaring men, I am sorry to say, so that I devote what leisure I have to strolling about the wharves, and whenever I find a sailor religiously Inclined I invite him up to our meeting, which Is quite unsectarlan and evangelical in character. Will you come?" Bob looked at men Inquiringly, and I, feeling that this was a heaven-sent ODDor- tunlty, said that I thought I could answer for three of my shipmates coming. For myseir. I would be delighted. Then our new-found friend promised to call for us at 7 that evening, bade us "Good-bye and God bless you!" and departed. Jem and Ballantyne were quite excited at the prospect when Bob and I informed them, and punctually to the moment we all stepped ashore, although it had been a terrible job getting that loathsome paint off. Our friend turned up in good time, and away we went over the most curious road I had ever trod. It seemed to be composed of planks laid on mud, which, being fairly fluid, had an unpleasant knack of spirting up at one through the interstices between the planks, and as the place was none too well lighted this hap pened far too frequently. We cared little for the badness of the way, being much too Intently occupied with anticipations of our visit, and although the way was long also, our eager conversation pre vented us from noticing that either. When we arrived at the building, which was quite palatial after our bare sall loft at Port Chalmers, we found that our fame had preceded us. The warmth of our welcome from about two hundred people present quite overcame us, ' and for the moment we felt almost sorry we had come, we were so shy and awkward. We speedily found that, as at Port Chalmers, there were representatives of all the religious denominations In the place except the Roman Catholic, but tnese lankees were far more demon strative. They did not believe In hiding their religious fervor under a cloak of conventional decorum. They behaved as If they thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and, although nothing was said or done to which any real Christian could sensibly object, I must confess I found myself considerably astonished. The quaint say ings of some of the speakers almost made me choke with suppressed laughter, until a grave-looking speaker who had just made some to me screamingly funny re mark saw my suffering and said: . "Young friend, laef just 's much 's y' want to. God don't begrudge any one of His children a laef; don't you believe He does for one moment. An' He don't want the old devil t' have a monopoly of so healthful a thing as laefter is. 'Rejoice in the Lord always, an' again I say, re joice, wa'n't said t' Induce people t' go number of their folk an the balance wuz mighty sick.' So I laughed, shamefacedly at first, but heartily afterwards, as heartily as I and those that were with me joined In the singing and the praying. But presently we were filled with horror at a direct Invitation to get up on the platform and tell the friends present something about our religious life at sea. I am sure I do not know how I got upon the platform and found myself facing those eager up turned faces. My heart thumped against mv ribs, and my mouth and tongue went dry and leathery. When at last I found my voice I hardly knew it, so hollow and strange it sounded. But the kindness of my audience was unbounded. One would have thought that they were listening to one of the finest efforts of their own splendid orators (and there seems to be something In the American climate that favors the development'of oratorical gifts) by the way they behaved. A "Tonculns "Send-Off." i reany aon't Know what I did say. I tried to put my experience Into words, and I know I did not take any of the fore going speakers as a model. But that Is all I can say. Then -came a captain In the American army, a noble fellow, thrilllngly earnest, .but with a tremendously rapid utterance and a most Involved style. His speech made me wonder at myself for being so thick-headed" as not to under stand a word of It. But one of his smiles I have never forgotten. I do not remem ber what It was Intended to Illustrate, but I fancy I can hear him now saying: "It's like the man who told his boy he'd give him ten cents to learn theTen Command" ments, and a brick house with a marble front If he could understand them." Many other quaint things he said, but suddenly he sat down, and while yet my mina was awnin with the wondrous in coherency of his discourse he had been replaced hy my brother Jem. Ah, that was a change, Indeed. For Jem only said in the simplest way that which the "Lord gave him to say, and the fact that he spqke in an alien tongue, necessitating a double process simultaneously In his brain, did not hinder his discourse being of the most heart-searching kind. As well as my memory serves me, he spoke as fol lows: "Dear vrlents. Tou haf ask me to tell you vat de Lort haf done for me. How can I dls do? Ven I tlnk of His goot ness unt lofe, I haf not vorts efen In mine own langvldge to .speak of It; how den I can tell you in Engelsch vich I only talk like any oder sallorman?

" TRAVELERS GUIDE. MiTnTTtTTSk OPEQON SOI'lilNE ADVERTISED. WILLIAM CULLEW BRYANT, AUTHOR OF "THANATOPSIS." William Cullen Bryant, poet and editor, was born in Cummlngton, Mass., Novemhtr 3. 1794, and died In New York, June 12, 1878. His ancestry might have been Inferred from the character of his writings, which reflect whatever is best and noblest In the life and thought of New. England. His mother was a de scendant of John Alden; and the characteristics of his family included some of -the sterner qualities of the Puritans. The early poetical exercises of. Bryant, , like those of all young poets, wero colored by the books he read. Among these were the works of Pope, and, no doubt, the works of Cowper and Thomson. "Thanatopsis" was sent to the Norjh American Review (whether by its author or his father is uncertain), and with such a modest, not to say enigmatical note of introduction, that its authorship was left in doubt. The Review was managed by a club of young , literary gentlemen, who styled themselves "The North American Cab," two of whose members. Rlwiard HPnry Dana and Edward Tyrrel -Chamlng, were considered its editors. Mr. Dana 'read the poem carefully and was so sur prised at its excellence that he doubted whether it. i was .thef iproductlon of an American, an opinion In which his 'associates are understood to have concurred. "While they were hesitating about'its1 acceptance, he was told-that the writer was a member of the' Massachusetts Senate: and the Senate being then In ses sion, he Immediately started from Cambridge for Boston. He- 'reached the Statehouse and Inquired for Senator Bryant. A tall, middle-aged man, with a business-like look, waa pointed out to him. He was satisfied that he could not - be the poet he sought, so he posted back to Cambridge without an introduction. The story ends here and rather tamely for the original narrator forgot, or per haps never knew, that Dr. Bryant was a member of the Senate, and that it was among the possibilities that he was the Senator, with a similar name. American poetry may be said to have begun In, 1817, with the September number of the North American Review, which contained "Thanatopsis," and the "In-, scrlptlon for the Entrance of a Wood," the last being printed as a "Frag ment." In March. 1818, the impression that "Thanatopsis" created was strengthened by the appearance of the lines "To a Waterfowl," and the "Version of a Fragment of SImonides."

Talk about the efforts of oratory, the power, with magic words allied to the music of the human voice, to sway multitudes of people as the wind sways the corn. "Wonderful the gift, but here was a man hardly able to speak the language of his hearers, ig norant of all elocutionary rules, of any tricks of rhetoric, who had so gripped the hearts of his audience that they wept, almost writhed, under the fierce stress of their emotions, and as he descended from the platform the meeting broke up, for all present wanted to press his hand. And I, who dread Intensely all forms of spasmodic emotional religion, mere play of feeling Influenced by externals and evan escent as the ripple upon water when the wind dies away, was so profoundly moved that I was glad to get away in a corner and simmer down. Then the evening wound up with the singing of the Dox-ology.- and the four of us returned on board as If we were treading on air. Henceforward during our stay In Port land we went ashore every night and be came most Intimate with earnest Chris tian people of every sort. In fact the. time passed all too quickly. But of all the people that we met I think those who Impressed us most were of the class that labored mightily with their hands. In all sorts of queer rooms we fore gathered and held our prayer meet ings, praise meetings, experience meet ings. Never .once 'were we allowed to feel that life was uninterest ing. Never once did the Idea occur to us, "These people have had enough of our society and we had better return to our ship and stay there." All this happiness culminated on the day of our departure In the visit of every one of those acquainted with us, who could get away for the purpose, assembling on the wharf to see us off. The "old man," who had only a dim Idea of how we had been employing our time, was astounded at the warmth of the farewells. We were all greatly touched, and those who know the reputation that Portland, Oregon, holds as regards the behavior of seamen will agree with me that such a send-off must have caused quite a sensation. manage them; and, what man has done, woman can do. If I had let other people do my business for me,. I most likely wouldn't have had any business to do now, and It Is the duty of every ,woman, I believe, to learn to take care of her own business affairs. Henry.

Because women spend so much, they are hardly ever In the field for investing when the chance comes along. No per son can Invest unless he has the where withal. Most great fortunes have been started by men who saved and saved and saved, and finally had a. few hundred or a few thousand dollars to invest whenever the opportunity should come. There are many women who earn good salaries, and who might lay by a few hundred dollars a year if they were so minded. But that is not the way of women. " They spend every cent they make, and In most cases have their monthly salary all spent be fore it's in their hands. As Ions as wom en .won't save, we're not likely to have many women millionaires In thi3 country. Sometimes there's a woman who really wants -to increase her fortune, but she soon realizes that conditions are against her. A woman hasn't as many chances for making money as men have.

After the meeting at Marlon Mr. Smith went to Jefferson, where another meet ing was advertised for Monday. There, as elsewhere, the attendance of about 50 farmers was quite satisfactory. The meeting was held In the Masonic Hall arid was made a town affair. Mr. Mljler, who makes a business of dealing In high grade Jersey stock, was chosen to act as chairman. In the course of his re marks, Mr. Smith paid a compliment to the dairymen In the Immediate vicinity of Jefferson by saying that nowhere In the United States could be seen any bet ter grades of dairy cows -than he had seen that day pasturing at the edge of town.. He said that 26 years atro the farmers in Minnesota grew wheat to the exclusion of other crops until the land began to wear out and wheat raising be came unprofitable. Some went into stock raising, some commenced to 'raise hogs, and chickens, while others took cows and regarded them ae 'machines which could be fed with raw material and pro- auce a nnisnea "article at a profit. About this time a Farmers' Institute meeting was held at Mankato, Minn., and promi nent agriculturalists from Illinois, Iowa and other states were invited to come and make addresses. At this convention it was found that the farmers who had gone into dairying were the most en thusiastic over it, while others were skeptical, but as they had all assembled there for the purpose of learning by comparison If anybody else was doing better than they were, the showing of the dairymen, which was the best of any, led to the general adoption of dairying In that state. Mr. Smith spoke of the creamery check as being the best edu cator to the farmer that there is at the present day. For example, Jones will meet Brown, compare notes' and discover that he is not getting as much for his milk as his neighbor. This leads him to inquire of Brown what the conditions are that cause the difference. They talk It over, ahd then Jones goes home and tries to do as well as Brown the next month. Allen.
