THE BUSY FAIRIES.
"Whw llltl children li aa1ep
The fairies h-uve the kj ,
And through the windows slyly creep
And touch each slet py eye.
And on the little beds they sit.
And 'round the curly head thty flit
Till rosy morning's nigh,
"When all the story telling's don
The fairies come to stay
And watch beside each little one
Till Dawn wakes up the day;
Where silvery beams of moonlight
' stream
tn happy dreams fair castles gleam,
While fairies watch away.
"And when the sky above Is blua
And when the sun Is high,
What do the little fnJrlta do?-
They make our money fly!
The dollars that were hard to earn
They pile up In the yard to burn.
Or waste them un the sly.
"They make new gowns too old to usa
And little trousers tear;
They tourh the toes of little shoes
And presto! holes are Inure
They win awny hy spoiling things
The money that much tolling bring-
Hut leave us love to share!"

SOME few, mme very few indeed,
of the not numerous American
line of sea tranaportntion hove
system of retirement after lonjf serv
ice, with the enjoyment of a life pen
sion representing n fair share of the
active waifea last paid the retired
mariner. This is for better than Sail
or's Snug Harbor, for It does not in
terfere ill the least with the ambition
which every sailor thinks out in the
mid watch, namely, to retire to
farm and nil no things.
Theoretically this is all very fine; it
I supposed to act as an incentive to
faithful service ov.-r a long series of
years, and to attuch a niun to his line,
mid. above all, to his own ship. That
is just where the trouble comes In;
the retired sailor gets so thoroughly
attached to his own ship thut he does
not know enough to let go nil holds
and give his worthy suecesitor a fuir
show. That is bound to be the case
with the retired first mate. Just us
soon as he goes on the retired list he
schemes to get a passage un the first
voyage of t lie old ship, in order thut
he muy give the benefit of ills ndvice
to his successor, either his old sec
ond mute promoted up, or else some
chief otlluer from some smaller ship
of the line, who thereby gets an In
crease In pay. This Is such mi unfail
ing source of trouble ubourd that the
agents positively refuse to sell a re
tired mate passage on his old ship.
This leads to a conflict of scheming
intelligences, and sometimes the wily
mute succeeds In getting into the cab
ill on thut first pleasure vuytige. Not,
however, If he sticks to the simple
minded sailor's subterfuge of writing
for UHsage for John Johnson, for no
person can have much to do with the
sea nnd its afluirs Without discovering
the wear and tear thut falls to thut
alias.
If by hook or crook the retired first
mate enn get off on thut first voyage
after his retirement, the pniKpects are
bright that there will be a lively ship,
lie turns out in the morning, no mut
ter whut the wenther, nnd he is
promptly on hand to get his cup of
coffee at the galley door before the
hands turn to. The men for n time
forget the ehnnge, and obey the old
runt through sheer force of long hab
it, until at Inst some one happens to
remember that mere passengers are
not allowed to have belaying plus, and
then the crew Is apt to become cheeky.
Nor is the new chief ollleer disposed
to take the Interference In good part.
Ills pensioned predecessor is only too
glnd to nose around and find n HM-ck
of dirt under the long ihiii t or to dis
cover a smudge of tinuipcd rotten
stone on the hriisa work. He Is sure
to reMirt it to the new mute and get
a sharp retort for his ollleiousucss.
Then arise words which might lie ac
tionable ushore, and which even Jar
the stout sen uir. The active mate is
apt to suggent Unit passengers on deck
ure expected to have no views higher
than ring toss and kliuttlchuiird. And
the mulo emeritus is sure to retort
thut even pussengcrs have n right to
expect decks to be clean und not such
a filthy mess, it is easy to see why
retired mates should be prevented
from taking pleasure trips on their
old vessels.
Even if they are Mopped from voy
aging there is no way of keeping them
off the dock. Tlicy know to n dot when
the nlil boat Is due in port attain, unci not
cnhhugcs nor turnips, nor ct the whole
itirin, can keep them nvwiy at that
time. The station of a mate Is at the
bow when the ship is coming to
her berth, and he rnniiot avoid the
sight of his predecessor on the pier
head, Hatching the mistakes he makes,
aud commenting thereon with great
distinctm f and corresponding xigor
of expression. That Is the one great
joy of the retired mariner's life, it
fills his soul with glee to watch his
successor iloing the things he hiiimclf
dill for so many years. nud to feel the
glow of sli 1 isfart iflll when he lIs.Mll'es
himself tli:it the new man docs not
begin to come up to him In all-around
etlieicncy .

wier and Oregonian for $2.00
work to buy an additional piece fo make
It up to one thirty-second. The t wo suc
ceeded just about the same time, and
each insisted on his right tn be the
master. It was evenly divided, and
the managing owner said that he could
make no division. On the quiet he sold
piecemeal lo t'ap'n Duties to protect
his position as master, und piecemeal
to C'up'n Davis to help hi in gel to be
mntter; this was a good thing for the
managing owner, for the .Nellie II. had
sot been paying for a long time, and
be had been thinking of having her
cutdown fora coal burge. Kin.nlly Cap'n
Davits and Cap'n Davis had bought as
much of the bark as thry could, and
they went in a body, the two of them,
to the managing owner to get him to
appoint one or Ihe other master. Then
the managing owner told tlirm he did
not have an) thing to do with It, since
he did not own anything In the bark.
When they cunie to compare notes
tbey bud spent a lot of money, and
were no better off than before; lo
fact, the advuntage was entirely with
the managing owner, who had got a
good price for a property that it did
not pny to run. Cap'n Davis had fif
teen thirty-seconds, Cnp'n Davles had
fifteen thirty-seconds also, anil the re
maining two thirty-seconds was owneil
by the ship's husband, a Houth strrel
ship chandler. He played , fair with
both skippers. He would sell half lo
each If they wanted to buy him out
very budly, but lie would not sell all
to one, and thus be a party to giving
him control over the other captain's in
vestment. He suggested that they
lake the Nellie II. turn and turn about,
and that's how it was that the bark had
two skippers.
The way they fixed It up was that
when Cnp'n Duvlcs brsught the Nellie
II. in from u voynge and had her dis
charged down to a clean floor, he
should turn her over to Cnp'n Davis to
charter and load and sail until he got
her down to a clean floor fit the end
of the voyage. When Cup'n Davlsjwiil
her In charge Cap'n Davies was not lo
go aboard, but he could come down
to the pier and find nil the fault he
wn n tetl utid tiiat was a whole lot
and vice versa. It was a caution losee
how each of these old skippers put the
bark Into apple-pie order before they
came into harbor from a voyage. The
ptilnt and cordage bills, to say nothing
of white duck, must have been some
thing big. hut the ship's husband, who
was in that line of business, never let
on as between the two captuins, so he
must have been making u good thing
out of his small Interest In the Nellie
II. The two old gentlemen were great
rivals, and It was nip and tuck be
tween them on every point connected
with the bark, and It would be hard
to sny which was the more jealous of
the other.
It got so thry never would speak ex
cept when handing the bark over, and
then they were freezingly polite.
"liood iiiorniiig, t'ap'n Davis," was
always the form Hint Cnp'n Davies fol
lowed, "Ihe Nellie II. Is on a clean floor,
and I think you'll nut find anything the
matter with her."
"Thank you, Cup'n Dnvlcs," was the
unfailing response. "I suppose it
seems so to you, but I have brought n
broom with me; she'll not be the worse
for a good sweeping. I suppose you'll
enjoy the rest while I'm gone."
"Well, I wish you a prosperous lad
ing and a quick voyage. You're get
ting old, man, nnd this will likely be
the last voyage you'll make In the
Nellie II., so make the most of It."
Then they'd part, speechless with
rnge. Not content with sitting on the
pierhead day after day watching Un
loading of Ihe bark and tiniliug fault
with everything the other skipper djd.
Cup'n Duties thought he'd take u look
nt the burk in some foreign port; lie
wanted to see whether Cnp'n Davit
saved up all his repairs for the home
port, or whether he fixed the Nellie II.
up crrililuhlr when she went foreign.
The burk had been chartered for Mel
bourne "I'll clothespins nud wooden
ware. That's a voyage that took her
nil of n hundred days, for she wus n
dull sailor, nnd Cap'n Dut ies hail pli n
ty of time to get out to Melbourne In
strainer. There he waited for the burl,
to he slgnulii-ed from the lleuils. anil
when her number was made lie tool, a
sailboat and hurried dim n l'ot Philip
to see how the Nellie II. was looking
when .she came Into port foreign.
Whether the hark looked better thnn
Cap'n Davies expected to tluil her. oi
whether she looked worse, liolinih
could say for certain. Hut thut mine
thing serious was the mailer inn hoiiv
could sec, for the old skipper hanl!.
woke up' to rip and tear more thin,
once or twice a day. and that was notli
lug for him. The Nellie It. got a char
ler for London with wool, ami lost no
time discharging. Cnp'n Davies hung
about her all the time she was in Port
Philip. Soon nfler she sailed lie jni
up and died. There wasn't much satis
fiielion In it for Cup'n Davis, fur he
died, too, before lie got around Cup.
Horn, and he never knew that he wus
sole captain at last.
Another scheme of the two skippers
went nslray. Kacli of them, hatieg
neither chick nor child, had willed h -share
in the bark to the ship's l.ns
bund, thus giving him ihe coin roll :
Interest on the unlit inn that he would
oust the rival skipper and put in a
man of hit own. Hut us both died at
i the same time there was liolmdv to

FAVORITE PKClIPTIiPl
Pronounced Incurablo. Cured by "Favorito
Prescription."
"I am just as well now as I was when I came into tho world,"
writes Mrs. P. A. Graham, of C17 IJuce Street, New Orleans, La.
" I will put it at that any way for I cannot remember seeing a well
dnv since I became a woman (25 years ago), until six months ago
when I began the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
' Golden Medical Discovery ' and ' Pleasant Pellets.' They are the best
medicine on earth made for women and their complaints, no matter
what the disease may be, even if called incurable by doctors. I was
treated by several country physicians and also had some of the best
city plirsicians prescribe for me. They all said my case was incurable,
being a chronic disease of long standing. I had been sick for eight
years, with female weakness and nervous and general debility, until
six months ago, I commenced with Dr. It. V. Pierce's medicine and it
brought me from ninety pounds to one hundred and thirty-five."
Cured Without an Operation.
"October 12th, 1808, I wrote you for t)ie first time," says Mrs.
Alice 1. Shipley, of West Point, Hardin Co., Ky. 11 Was very ill,
confined to my bed most of the time ; had no appetite ; pains in left
ovary ; could not rest only on one side, without suffering most excru
ciating pains. Was a perfect wreck physically. I underwent an ex
amination by one of the most prominent physicians of Louisville, Ky.
He pronounced mv case tumor of the stomach, and advised me to
return iu two weeks and have an operation performed. My husband
had such a dread of ' the knife ' that lie prevailed on me to try Dr.
Pierce's medicines. I took seven bottles of ' Favorite Prescription,'
and two vials of ' Pellets,' which cured me of constipation. Have not
taken any medicine since the last of February. I now attend to all my
housework cook, wash, iron and sew for a family of six. Many have
been advised by me to try your treatment, and are greatly benefited."
M Sim won well.
"Favorite Prescription" and Maternity.
"I will endeavor to tell you of the many benefits I have derived
from taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription," writes Mrs. 15. E.
ltobertson, of Medicine Lodge, liarbcr Co., Kans. "In the fall of
189!, I was expecting to become a mother, and suffered terribly with
pains in the back of head ; in fact, I ached all over. Suffered with
awful bearing-down pains ; T was threatened for weeks with mishap.
A lady friend told mo to use Dr. Pierce's medicines. She had taken
them and felt like a new woinan. I began using the ' Favorite Pre
scription,' and took four bottles before my baby came and two after
wards. I suffered almost death with my other two children, but hardly
realized that I was sick when thin baby was born, and she weighed
twelve and one-quarter pounds. She is now eleven months old, and
has never known an hour's sickness ; at present she weighs thirty
seven pounds. I owe it all to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription."
