And at thy feet I'll lay my crown.

And breathes of love and liberty.
How to See the Fair
Oregon Building, Panama-Pacific
Exposition, Sept. 7.-Ore-?onians
who want to see the most
of the big Exposition in the short
est length of time, at the least
expense in the long-run and with
the greatest comfort and real
pleasure, should be located on the
grounds. This is the conclusion
of the writer after five months
experience and innumerable con
versations with those who have
been both on and off the grounds.
Since coming here the writer has
lived in Oakland, in San Fran
cisco, and upon the grounds. He
Sieves that any coming for but
one week cannot afford to locate
flown in the city, and really de
sirable places are no longer to be
found, except occasionally, near
the grounds. If the trip .is to be
of two weeks, at least one week
should be spent wholly inside the
founds. Located at Inside Inn,
f0r instance, one is able to see
"side of one week all that can
oe seen in two weeks if one lives
away from the grounds. The
mornings here are the desirable
time at the exposition, and this
18 the time wasted when one lives
jway. The night offers the won-
ferflll illuminnririns and nt pleven

Fate of the Brig
Ivan
By M. QUAD
Copyright, mi, by the MeClors
Newspaper Syndicate.
Togo la the southernmost Island In
the Cape de Verde group, situated In
the north Atlantic. 1 was there In
bark which had brought lumber, hard
ware, agricultural Implements and oth
er stuff, and ou our arrival we found
the brig Ivan already at anchor.
The commander of a Russian man-of-war
on a cruise has more power
than the czar at home. The latter
must at least have some excuse to
send a citizen to bis death. The for
mer has ouly to report him dead, and
the details are never asked for.
Several of the crew on the Ivan
were triced tip and flogged In plain
view of us on the first day of our ar
rivul, and It wasn't long before we
learned that the brig was a floating
bell.
One dark and rainy night, while i
was standing anchor watch on our
craft, one of the Russian sailors swam
off to us. He had come for a talk.
Fie knew nothing whatever of geogra-
pny and could not tell In which di
rection any coast lay. He asked par
ticularly ubout the coast of Brazil,
the distance, the people, the rivers,
etc. He Hnally told me the crew of
the brig to a man bad decided to mu
tiny, kill the ollicers and run the craft
ashore and each man shift for himself
until the excitement had blown user.
The days went by. There was the
usual routine of flogging aboard the
Ivan, and a sailor who sprang over
board rather than be lashed was cool
ly shot down alongside the brig with
out being even ordered to return.
The next day at 5 o'clock In the after
noon the mutiny suddenly burst forth.
There were six merchantmen In the
harbor, but had the Russian com
mander called for assistance It would
not have been afforded. At least fifty
of us saw the Russian captain shot
and thrown overboard, and after him
went his first lieutenant
Then fol-
lowed the paymaster and two others,
and the crew had the brig to them,
selves. Before going out of the bar
bor men were sent to every vessel to
show tbelr raw backs and tell how ,
they had been wronged, and as the
brig turned ber head to sea she was
fhAprpd.
It was a week after when we got
ready for sea. bound for Rio Janlero.
We had no Idea of ever hearing from
the Russians again, but when four
days out we ran across a New Bed
ford whaler named Scott which gave
us some exciting news. Two days be
fore she had been brought to by the
!., in mio-ocenn. An armed boati
crew had come aboard and robbed the
whaler of whatever they fancied.
The next news came to us iu uu,.
later. A gale sprang up from the
southwest and before It was four
hours old we were compelled to lie to.
It struck us about 4 o'clock In the aft-
noon and did not reach Its height un

was boiling and howling when we
