and Mate Knudsen and live men
in another. All reached land and
were saved. They were afterward
taken aboard the Admiral Samp

Ketchikan.
According to members of the
crew it was a miraculous escape
'for all 'hands, fl’he Kjyak left
Yakulal for Ketchikan at 5 p .m.
on the 201 h. It was raining and
a heavy sea running. On reach
ing the open sea the weather be
camte very Ihick-t-heavy dowi
pouring of rain and the wind
blowing a hurricane. The sea
came loo (heavy to make pro
gress and they turned at 8:23 to
go back to Yakutat. All the time
the sea became worse and the
weather darker than ever. The
.light at Ocean Cape could not be
seen in the terrible darkne'ss that
^prevailed and there was no al
Jernativo but to try for the harbor
channel.—Juneau Empire.

WOMEN CAB DRIVERS
NO LONGER POPULAR
Paris, Sept. 12.—Women call
drivers are fast disappearing
from the streets of Paris. Six
years ago they uumbereld fully
100; now there are only six or
seven, and of these all hut one
will give up the calling.
The one who means to remain
has given various reasons for
the disfavor with which her sex
regards cab driving. At first
men rushed for vehicles driven
by women and tipped generously;
but that was when reviews and
songs were advertising the new
departure. One cab woman says
that she makes not more than
five or six francs a day, and out
of that she has to pay a woman
'to look after her household.

An Ancient Library.
Excavations have revealed to
us some astonishing fads with
j regard In the literary attain
j merits of the ancient peoples of
j the East. The most interesting
| of these finds were those en
countered in the ruined palace
of ancient Nineveh,
i It was no mere religious 1 iI -
, erature that was there discover
ed; it possessed far more solid
^elements. The tablets found on
■ file site of the city that long ago
crumbled into the dust show
| that the scribes studied their lit
jerature to advantage. Commen
ilari.es, dictionaries. aniL critical
|works evidence a love of liter
al lire, not the mere making of
books. The Ninevil.e Library
presents several curious features
that, for some time the archaeo
logists found it JilVicull to ex
plain.

'reign of Assurhanipal (IV
jiliS-025 i, a circumstance I hat
indicates that the library was
founded in liis-reign. Then, too,
the careful arrangement of the
tablets in groups and sets, with
an index or catalogue in many
cases, shows that it was form
ed on a definite plan and was not
a gradual growth''during a long
