known. Occasionally there is a pathetic
scene on one of these BTCps.
During a recent passage of the Ems,
which Is the sister ship of the Elbe, there
was among the passengers a man who
had lost his wife and tiwo children in the
disaster. The loss had affected his mind.
He had come aboard the shtp at South
ampton., carrying a large wreath of flow
ers. He had a letter to the oaptaCn from
the officers of the steamsKp company. He
thought it was a mere letter of inltroduc
Kon, but it wanted the: captain to have a
special watch kept of him on the trip, as
It was feared1 he might Jump overboard
or make away with himself In some other
way. '..'
The Story of the mania misfortunes got
about among the passengers quCckly. He
was the object of !nterest on the voyuge.
Every one eympiatized with him, and
some talked with him lbout his loss. To
these he would raTriMe off a story, always
ending by taking them to his cabin and
showang them the wreath which he In
tended putting on thefr grave. When. It
name time for the passengers to gather at
the rail to hear the story of the disaster
this man was the center of Interest, and
he himself told the story.., It was neither
very connected or very dear, but never
before had It hod such anlterest to a ship
load of people. The tears streamed down
on his face as he ttoid It, and there was
hardly a dry eye on board the ship. When
the officer eatd the Ems was about over
the spo't where the' Elbe went down way
waa made for the man to reuch the rail
and cast overboard the wreoith he carried.
He was tightly held, though he did not
know It.
For" a long time after he had dropped
the wreath he Stood on1 the rill leaning
over, gazing Into the water. He did no?
speak. Nor did he when at last he
straightened up and turned; facing tha
passengers. Way was mlide for Km again.
He wulked silently to his eltateroom, oc
caslonaUy tapping his head with his fin
ger. He was seen no more on the voy
age. THE TRADE IN SAWDUST.

William Bkiptoo arrived, yesterday after
a three weeks' absence, during whlcb
tti was in California, Teja8, Arizona,
Colorado, Oklahoma, Utah , and other
states. He went to se:k his fortune, but
bis returned to Onegon ito remain. It
was in Kansas that hi saw a farmer
heading a thirty-acre wheat field. Three
rounds were made without unloading the
header bed, and the highest guess made
by those who watched the proceeding was
ttjut the whole thirty 1 acres would turn
off three header bed loads. In Oklahoma
he saw many hells of wheat on wh.ch the
grain had reached a height of six or eight
trachea, and had been so burned by hot
'winds that the blades hal turned almost
whi'te. . Then corn had Been planted In
the some flsld with the detid wheat stand
ing between the rows. Hot windu, when
William was there, had also cooked the
corn and it was languishing 'in the hot
tun, lifeless and without, pride of past
or hope of future. En route home, one
man said all that Oklahoma needed was
moisture and good society and It would be
the garden spot of earth. An old man
wno had spent some time in Oklahoma
cruelly rejoined: "Yes, with plenty ot
moifiture und good society h 1 would be a
lovely place." It was '.n Arizona that
William saw a man mowing hay and
tvery time the sickle bar struck a clod
it raised the sickle above the crop of hay.
Thia't was the flght that made William
homesick for Oregoa, where the hay
sometimes overtops a tall man's head
and he heaved a sigh and struck for
Webfoot, to live and die. Corvall.s
