NO 80

Shall we hold in mean estimation the
work Of the carpenter, or that of any
other other artisan, with such an ex-
ample in view? My young friend,
however, takes up his work cheerfully.
You may hear him whistling on the
housetop or singing in the celler;
industriously saving and hammering,
with an occasional pleasant word or
anecdote for the stray looker-on. He
sees no danger where a needed work
is to be done Nature endowed him
with manly attractions of person, and
what possibilities rest with an ener-
getic young man who keeps his charac-
cter unspotted, and pursues the work
that falls to his lot with skill and oblig-
ing civility.
l predict bright future for these
young men if they continue the course
they have begun, and hold them up
for examples to others. Neither
were born rich, but what a mine of
wealth and happiness youth and health
may forge for themselves.
These are priceless possessions-a
richer Inheritance that gold or silver.
That young man who thinks he is
poor because he has no bank account,
little understands the value of Gods
free gifts of health and strength; little
appreciates the fact that many men
are selfmade, and came to the notice
of the world from just such beginnings
Not by idly moaning that they are
poor, but by going carefully to work
perfecting themselves in their chosen
pursuits, and becoming so useful to
those about them that their services
are alwa, s in demand, whether it be
on the platform, in the shop or the
kitchen, for all arc honorable alike,
and stamp the individual as worthy
of that crowning benediction-'Well
done, good and faithful servant; thou
hast been faithful in little, l will
make thee ruler over more" p Mary

The Biggest Ship.

While the reading public has been
tolerably informed as to the size and
speed of the great ocean liners and
knows by how many feet each would
overtop the Washington monument or
how many city blocks it would fill,
there is one feature OF the immensity of
these ships of which very little is
known even by the most experienced
travellers. This concerns the business
management of these vessels, which in
the case of the largest liners has grown
to be an enterprise of vast proportion,
requiring the services of hundreds of
men.
For example, the operation of the
Oceanic, the largest steamer ever built,
which arrived in New York on her
maiden trip last week, involves null
titude of activities and is managed on
scale that see ms almost incredible to
the landsman. An inkling of their
proportions may be gained from the
fact that it would take a mine" twenty
five years of steady work to get out
the coal required to fill the bunkcrs of
the Oceanic tor a sing lie trip, while the
food supplies that she demands for
each voyage would more than support
the miner and his family during the
whole. of that time.
To appreciate the vastness of the
business operations connected with the
greatest ocean liner it is necessary to
rid ones mind of the idea that she is a
ship as our fathers understood that
term. She is not manned by sailors,
an the seamen form an inconsidcrable
number in the makeup Of her crew.
Nor is she a floating hotel, as the maga-
zine writer is fond of calling her
There is no hotel that compares with
her in the extent and variety Of its
activities. The Oceanic is an ocean
city-nothing less. When she is at
sea she has population Of 2,000-as
great as many town with county seat
aspirations can claim. A score Of diff
ferent trades and occupations are prac-
ticed Oh board her. She has indie
pendent lighting, heating and refriger-
ating plants, machine shops, a printing
office, a carpenter SHOP, in short, almost
all the equipment of an upto-date COM
munity, together with much that is
peculiar to herself
WHAT A SINGLE VOYAGE MEANS
TO all practical purposes each voy-
age represents complete business ven
turc. All accounts are rendered scpa-
rately for each voyage. The crew,
from the captain down, are engaged at
the European port for each round trip
They arc technically discharged 1T the
conclusion of the voyage and musi
sign new articles before they are
shipped again.
As soon as the liner ties up at her
pier at the end of one voyage the pre-
parations for the succeeding one begin.
While cargo is being discharged from
one side great harges are pouring coal
into her bunlers from the other. The
Oceanic has a coalcarryiny capacity
of 800 tons and burns upward of 3
600 tons on each voyage. 1t requires
the services of sixty men working
steadily for forty hours to coal her,
and the operation costs about 81 200.
The coal itself costs about five times
that amount. In other words, the coal
bill of a vessel like the Oceanic while

That you enrich and purify your blood

low water level, and other causes,
there are disease germs all about us,

these dangers, as well as coughs, colds,

Funston CHARGES Libel

Gen. Fred Funston, Ell route home
with the mustered-out Twentieth Kan
sas Regiment. has wired his Topeka
attorneys to bring proceedings against
Archbishop Ireland, OF ST. Paul, tor
criminal libel. because Of statements
attributed to the archbishop in recent
interview. Gen Funston also instruct
ed his lawyers to begin criminal and
civil prosecutions against the Monitor
a Catholic paper Of San Francisco,
which first printed the story.
In recent interview in Chicago
Archbishop Ireland was quoted as say
Jog that Gen Funston had been charg-
ed with looting Catholic churches IN
the Philippines The charges alleged
10 have been referred to by the arch
bishop were made by the editor OF the
Monitor soon after the landing of the
Kansas troops in San Francisco. The
Monitor stated, it is said, that Gen.
Funston had taken two magnificent
chalices from certain Catholic church
10 the Philippines. and had sent them
home TO his wife.
Archbishop Ireland, in his Chicago
interviews, was quoted as calling upon
Gen. Funston to deny the truth OF the
article and sue the editor Of the Mont
tor for libel, or the public would be
obliged. against its will, to believe him
guilty Of the criminal acts Of which he
has been accused.
Archbishop Ireland, who is in st.

prised when he heard that Gen. Fun.
ston. of Kansas, was reported as about
to sue him for libel on account Of state.
ments attributed to him in a Chicago
interview. He said he had made nc
charges against Gen Funston. but had
in conversation expressed the opinion
that the statements OF the San Fran.
cisco paper, charging the general with
having taken priests robe from q
Philippine church. should be denied by
Gen. Funston at once lest failure tC
deny led to wrong impression. The
archbishop admitted the substantial &C.
curscy Of the Chicago interview. but
denied that he bad made any libelous
statements.
