LIGHTSHIP PERILS.
Safety of the Vessel and Its Crew Is
the Last Consideration.
Among the unsung heroes of tills
country are the members of tin* light
house service, which Is entirely dis
tinct from the life saving service. The
entire lighthouse corps designed to
warn ships of danger points covers
100,000 miles of coast line and reaches
from Alaska to I'nnatua, the mainte
nance of it costing approximately *■<«.
000,000 a year. It has about 13.(KM)
"aids to navigation," Including light
houses, lightships, bell buoys, tenders,
submarine signals, and fog signals.
A lightship roust be kept always in
one particular place. Anchored t ■ the
bottom of the sea, she has her steam
always up, but she never sails unU^-s
relieved by another ship so that >he
may put into port for repairs. And
such a boat Is used because a warning
must be given at a place where it i<
impossible to build a lighthouse and
where even the clamor of a gigantic
bell buoy is not sufficient to warn the
navigator. No matter how ti> r ■•■'y the
storm beats or how desperate may be
the boat's plight, she must stay nr
her moorings. The only uii'vpn , nt she
is allowed to make under the regula
tions is to sink when at l: -t -' e can
withstand the gale no longer.
Throughout the service, both in the
lighthouses and on the vessels, there
is one object, one dominating creed—
to keep the light burning and the
whistle blowing. This is the supreme
work of the men's existence. Anil It
would bring them deserved recognition
if the government ever published a list
of those who have lost their lives in
the line of such perilous duty.
For about $0,000,000 a year the e men
and their craft save from disaster the
blliions of dollars" worth of shipping
and commerce that cotue to American
shores.—Popular Magazine.

TALE OF A TOWER
There It Stood, Yet It Had Never
Been ''Erected."
CLEVER EVASION OF THE LAW
The Curious Place Where John K.
Graves Turned Out Hi* Shot and
Bullets and the Contract the Courts
Declared Had Not Boon Broken.
The late Senator Allison, whose
homo was at Dubuque, la., thoroughly
enjoyed humor and a good story. One
day when In a reminiscent mood "Mr.
Allison narrated the following story,
based upon facts, which Is worth a
place among tales extraordinary: „
"Along ubout 1SGO, when the west
was yet quite new, a number of busi
ness men In Dubuque conceived the
idea of establishing a plant for the
manufacture of shot and bullets. At
tiie tluie there was no factory of that
sort nearer than St. Louis, and, with
a lively demand for ammuiiitlou, it
was figured that a shot tower would
pay like a California gold mine. The
tower was built, the necessary ma
chinery was put in at large expense
nnd production began.
"I'or a time business was quite sat
isfactory; then demand slackened, and
it soon became apparent that the enter
prise would never develop any Stand
ard Oil dividends. After a time some
of the stockholders became disgusted
with the wholo business and practical
ly offered to give away their holdings.
"Among them was John l\. Graves,
who nftenvnrd became a power in
eastern Iowa politics. Graves quietly
bought tip the stoi-k as it was offered,
getting practically nil of it eventually
on the basis of 5 or 10 cents on the
dollar. Just what Craves wanted this
slock for his associates in the venture
could not figure out. but they did not
lose any sleep over that. They were
tickled to death to get anything out of
the dead enterprise. It had been los
Ins money for some time.
"Soon after this the war broke out
Graves instantly saw his opportunity.
War makes great quantities of bullets
necessary, and he made preparations
to supply them. lie indulged in cer
tain statements concerning his piaus
and purposes in the presence of per
sons he knew would Hash the informa
tion to a St. Louis concern, and his
scheme worked admirably, Tnsiile of
two weeks a man whom Graves knew
to be a representative of the St. Louis
shot tower company called upon him
and In the course of the conversation
brought up the subject of stock in the
Dubuque company. After several days
of dickering and bantering Graves un
loaded his entire holdings of stock at
over fifty cents on the dollar, realizing
a small fortune.
"By the terms of the agreement
however. Graves legally bound himse'.f
not to erect a shot tower within a
hundred miles of Dubuque within ten
years. The representative of the St
Louis concern had scarcely got beyond
sight of Dubuque, down the river, until
Graves seut in an order for n complete
equipment of machinery for a new
shot making plant While awaiting
its nrrival he indulged in a little sur
veying.
Dubuque is situated partly upon a
lofty Hill or scries of hills, and the in
laud country is extremely rough. When
•wandering: among the bluffs Graves
came upon the excavation of a deep
well. Shortly afterward there was
considerable activity In that vicinity.
A force -of men was employed to re
move the debris, and the hole was en
larged and bricked up. A lateral in
cision was made into tlie side of the
bluff, striking the main vertical shaft
n hundred feet from the surface open
ing. Here a room was dug out and
bricked up and prepared for the recep
tion of machinery. By the time this
work had been completed the outtlt ur
rived and was quickly installed. With
in two or three months of the time of
disposing of the stock of the Dubuque
concern Graves had the new suburban
underground establishment in full
blast, producing bullets and shot.
"Of course news of the new factory
speedily reached the St Louis concern,
and they sent an attorney to Dubuque
loaded with contracts and receipts and
paraphernalia for making trouble. The
lawyer called on Graves aud plainly
told him that if lie did not shiit up
shop he would get the law on him
quick. Graves replied that he did not
understand he had violated any law
or any pledge and that be would go
right along making bullets, suggesting
to the attorney that he start proceed
Ings. The attorney invited Graves' at
tention to the bond given by the latter
that he would not engage in the manu
facture of shot or bullets within 100
miles of Dubuque for ten years. Graves
contended that he had entered into no
such covenant; he bad pledged himself
not to "erect a shot tower,' p.nd asked
the attorney if he had erected a shot
tower. The attoruey said that was
boy's talk; that such byplay would not
go in a court of Justice.
"The case was tried, and notwith
standing that every inch of ground was
contested by the St Louis concern,
which had able counsel, Graves won.
The St Louis lawyers could not make
the jury believe that Graves hud 'erect
ed' a shot tower. Aud so he went right
on pouring melted lead into the hole
in the top of the hill and gathering up
shot and bullets In his brick room 100
feet below and became a wealthy
man."—Frank 1. Stillmau in St Louis
Republic.

row for friendship, too crooked for
