You can readily imagine the , difficulties which might beset ahip- . wrecked sailors cast upon a desert i»- ■ land.

Of course I they would get desperate and do mad , things after awhile. Now, imagine a I couple of fellows goiufc down in tbe 1 sounds in a boat owned by one of tbem, for the purpose of "duckin' " these 1 crisp evenings, and getting "stuck." No more clothing than necessary, no 1 grub, few matches. It gets cooler ■ and cooler as the night progresses and I the boys get desperate, just like they were on that desert island. They must get warm. So they burn every detached thing in the order of its . value, but finally clean everything up and pretty near burn the boat When I day light dawns they manage to get ' started for home, but without decoys, . without thwarts, without oars, with- i out bedding and other things.

The statement is made that from half a million to a million dollars sent away to buy things' which local J merchants can supply.

Gardner received votes or 4,642 more than be received two years ago, but his opponent polled 20,683, or 11,762 more than his fellow Democrat, Perry, did in 1906.
