"I know the temperament of New

to doubt our democracy, our financial

In New York have had some experi

through hard trials of public corrup

though we have our bad siots and oc
casional condition not to be commend
ed, there Is s general pulling together
toward higher and better things In pub

no gloom, no forebodings about the

out Inspired with loftier Ideals and
firmer principles than ever before.
"It Is because I have known the
young men of the past generation and
because I know the young men 4f to

In our universities and schools there
are many thousands or students, the
leaders of to-morrow. Kach one of
them must view life from a loftier
plane than that on which he stood In
his earlier days. He cannot have com

When one reads In Nantucket rer
ords of nearly s-enty years aifo that
ship were taken across the bar by
the aid of "canmla," a picture of
stretches of hot sund, oases of pa bin
and great "ships of the desert" mov
lug In procession Is presented to the
mind's eye. The vision, however, Is
out of the way, geographically, botnnlc-
ally and soologlcally. The sand borders,
tlie cold New England shore, the palms
sre wanting, and the camels hear no
relation whatever to those of flesh and
blood. The author of "Nantucket
Scraps" explains the mystery.
In 1S12 the PWin arrived off Nan
tucket, laden with thirteen hundred
barrels of sperm oil. It was tbe first
hip taken across the bar by camels.
and the event was considered so Im
portant that the town bells were rung,
the guns fired, and the whole popula
tion turned out In a general rejoicing.
The bar, which blocked free way to
Nantucket docks, streMied out In dan
gerous menace to heavily laden vessels.
It wns the ciistmn to break the cargo
outside snd land thn oil In bontw; but
this wss an exponslve and tedious proc
ess, and the Invention of the camels
was hailed with eagerness.
The camels were two huge boxes one
hundred and tlilrry-flve feet long and
nineteen fet dei, fitted with water
gates ami pumpa, so that they could lie
raised or sunk at pleasure. They also
poancsacd an engine, propeller and rud
ders. They were yoked side to side
with fifteen chains.
The jimronch of a vessel wns sig
naled from the tower of the Unitarian
Church. Fires were then kindled In
tlie camels, which started out to meet
tbe ship. WMih the chains lengthened
to fonn loois deeper than the keel of
the veswel, the camels ranged them
selves on each side of the ship, sank,
stretched heir chains taut by the aid
of thirty windlasses, rose and lifted
the ahlp with them, until the whole
did not draw more than five feet of
water. Then they floated, with their
burden, up the harbor.
The ponderous contrivance proved to
be an expensive economy, and when,
after five or six years, the cainela eauie
to need repair, the owner did not
think It profitable to make them. Ro
the' camels of Nantucket went to div
ry, and their bones lay for many
years In the docks.

easy under system of compulsory no
