Brltlih Schooner Stanley Buffeted by
Gale for Three Weeka In Sore
Stralta When Tank Steamer
Cornea to Her Rescue.
New York.—The three-masted Brit-
ish schooner Stanley labored through
heavy seas to Nova Scotia.
Death visited the schooner but the
only member of the company that suf-
fered was the ship's monkey. Gari-
baldi. His tail in the captain's locker
is all that is left of the ship's pet
now.
The tpnk steamer Cymhellne. ou*
of Bordeaux, brought the story of
Garibaldi's demise, for she met the
Stanley in latitude 4«,42, longitude
70.5, with her flag union down.
It was a story of grim tragedy and
grimmer comedy mingled.
After three weeks' buffeting by
high seas and winds the Stanley from
Turk's island, found her rigging
mostly carried away, her seams tak-
ing water, and provisions low.
Then a gale broke that carried
away the water casks and ruined
what food remained.
Captain Lohnes and his crew ol
seven, exhausted already, found them-
selves facing starvation.
The last morsel of food was eaten,
and there was only part of a cask
of water In the galley when the oth-
ers went overboard.
Garibaldi belonged to a sailor. The
others began to look hungrily at him.
Two were already partly deliriouB.
Captain Lohnes asked - Garibaldi's
owner if they might kill the monkey.
He refused. Another day passed.
Then, when most of the crew were
too weak to man the pumps, the cap-
tain ordered the monkey killed. Cap-
tain Lohnes had to execute Garibaldi
himself, and then the cook made him
Into stew.
Garibaldi's tail, saved by Captain
Lohnes as a souvenir, was in the
cabin locker when the Cymbeline was
sighted. She reprovisioned the
schoone*-, and gave her material for
repairs to the rigging.
Captain Lohnes said Garibaldi had
saved the eight lives on the Stanley.

Growere Hit Hard by the Poor Qual-
ity and the Small Quantity
of Crop.
Berlin.—For the second year in suc-
cession the German vlneyardists have
been hard hit. This year's crop, Just
harvested, gave nowhere more than
half the usual quantity of grapes, and
in a majority of districts only one-
twentieth of the normal yield. In
some sections, notably in Wurtemberg
and Baden, there was no crop at all.
Nor does the quality of this year's
wine compensate for the bad harvest
On the contrary, it is very poor, ex-
cept in the so-called Kheingau, em-
hron^na anoli woll.Unewn tilaee« ntt
Assnianshausen, Johannisberg, Rude-
heim, Erbach and Bingen. There, al-
though one-twentieth of a crop was
harvested, the wine is of average qual-
ity. Vineyardists along the river Saar
harvested about a half crop, which Is
producing wine only slightly below
middle quality. But as a general thing
the wine is inferior and very acid.
The poor harvest is the result of an
unusually unfavorable spring and sum
mer. The latter part of May brought
frosts, which did considerable damage.
In July and August, the most impor-
tant months for the development of
grapes, there were frequent cold rains,
which not only prevented development
of the fruit, but brought various grape
diseases. A warm September prevent
ed what would otherwise have been
an utter failure of the crop in all dis-
tricts.

HUSBAND IS ABSOLUTE BOSS
Judge Who So Decided Now Empcnw-
ers Him to Eject Wife's
Relatives.
Springfield. Mass.—Judge Charles L.
Long, who two years ago made the
celebrated decision that "man, who
pays the bills, is boss ot the household
and lord and master of the exchequer,"
ruled that a husband may eject his
wife's relatives from the" house.
Hormidas G. Labine, the defendant
in a separate eupport suit, declared
that it was a case of "too much broth-
er-in-law."
Judge Ixmg said that a husband has
the right to remove from his home any
of his wife's relatives, and if he cannot
do so alone, the police, if called upon,
must help him. In the end, however,
Labine was ordered by the court to
contribute to the support of hia wife
and children.
?* ECONOMY A FINE VIRTUE.
According to Webster it avoids waste, and applies money to best advantage
This certainly applies to the purchase of PLOWS. Its not the cheapest plow
that costs the least money, but the plow that plows the greatest number of a-
cres with satisfaction. JOHN DEERE PLOWS do the work for which they are
.. intended, for black land, for sandy land, mixed land.
J* There are no "comebacks'' in John Deere Plows, and by investing yourmon-
■' ey in John Deere tools you exercise Economy in its truest sense.
