Pcshtifto, Wis., Jan. 26, 1901.—(Spe-

that ever graduated from the Lakeside
Hospital, Lake Geneva, is Miss Lillian
Dreese, of this place. Miss Dreese is
the Vice Templar of the Independent
Order of Good Templars, and organist
of the Rebeccas af Peshtigo. Ouring her
twelve years' experience as a trained
nurse she has had many opportunities
for observation, and her opinion in all
medical health matters is held in very
>iigh esteem -by the thousands who
i:ave learned to know and love her. In
(peakfugof tuv experience she says:

WAS.UIKOTOJ.-, D C. ,
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
fn the old days when ocean voyages
were long and tedious an incident oc-
curred on board a ship hailing from
Boston and bound to Calcutta which
caused every old "web-foof between
Eastport, Me., and Cape Sable to hold
his sides to keep himself on an "even
keel."
The story concerns two of the crew
named "Joe" and "Barnabas." One
day, after the ship had been at sea
some weeks and was rolling lazily
along, Barnabas, who was aloft on tho
foreyard, found it necessary to "lay
out" on the lee yardarm, where he lost
his hold and tumbled overboart^. Joe
the only witness of the accident,rushed
aft to the quarterdeck to report it to
the "old man"-as they always call
the captain when he don't hear 'em—
und found that worthy leisurely pac-
ing fore and aft, with the trumpet
resting in the hollow of his arms.
To complicate the situation Joe was
tn awful'stutterer, and with terror de-
picted 011 his countenance commenced
'.0 tell—or rather to try to tell—what
lad happened.
"13a—ba—ba—ba—f—f—f but
lo all he could the end of his tongue
vould not part company with his lower
aw. ,
The captain, knowing by Joe's look
of consternation that "something was
in the wind," or in the water, and also
knowing that the generality of stam-
mering people can sing without stut-
tering and that Joe was no excoption
O the rule, yelled out at him:
"Sing It, you darned fool! Sing it!"
Joe immediately tuned up—improvis-
ing both words and music:
"Overboard went Barnabas—
Half a mile astern of us!"
That settled it; the ship was "hove
to," a boat in charge of the mate was
lowered avay and after a long pull,
a strong pull and a puif all together,
Barnabas wsis picked un
