TRUTHS BY BRYAN.
for National Life Which Should
BE Pondered by the Re-
pubIicans.

William J. Bryan, in his late speech
at Galesburg, H., told some plain
truths, as he always does, that should
be ~pondered by all his fellow citizens
when he said: Nations should be
judged as we judge men. Thomas JEFF
ferson said the same thing. Franklin
elucidated the same truth when he
said a nation is only a great gang. We
must apply to nations the same princi-
pies as to the individual. / believe it
to be right for men to be ambitious to
be great and influential. There are
two ways. One can try to make his
neighbor think as he does. A quarrel
may result. So much time will be spent
in coercion that there is no good done.
There is a better way-and that is tic
live so well, to do so well that the
neighbor cannot find anything better
to do. / am going to show how, as a
nation we should apply this principle.
/ am going to give you a text for our
national life. IT is this: BE not over
come of evil, but vercome evil with
good I know of no other way to ex-
terminate evil. Then Let your light
so shine / know of no other plan for
overcoming ave with good, letting
your light shine. There is no philoso-
ply outside of the Bible that will take
its place. It is proper for man to be
great. But how shall he be great?
You republicans cannot get around the
Bible. In the contention in the Bible
as to who was to be chief, the answer
was that he who was to be chief of all
must be the servant of all. Service is
the measure of greatness"

KILLING THE BLUE WHALE.
The HarpOon Gun and Its Terrible
Work When 1t Plants a
Shot Fairly.

To pursue the blue whale success
fully, a boat is required that can steam
u knots an hour, and which is fur
nished with a formidable weapon
known as the harpoon gun, says Pear
sons Magazine.
The harpoon gun is a ponderous
piece of apparatus placed on a raised
platform on the prov of the whaler,
and consists of a short, stout cannon,
mounted on a broad pedestal, on
which it can rotate horizontally. The
gun has also a vertical motion, and can
be turned quickly in whatever direc-
ton the prov of the ship dominates.
On the top of the gun are sights" for
aiming, just as in a rifle. Behind is
the stock, which is grasped in the hand
when firing the gun, and beneath is the
trigger. The breech is a boxlike ar
rangement, situated just where the
stock is fastened to the gun proper.
The gun is loaded in the ordinary way
from the muzzle, and the harpoon is
tightly rammed into it. To discharge
the gun, a small cartridge, with a wire
attached, is first put into the breech.
Pressure on the trigger causes a pull
on the wire, which ignites the car
fridge and discharges the gun simulta-
neously.
The harpoon is about six feet in
length, and very massive. 1t consists
essentially of three parts, the ante
rior conical portion, the movable
barbs and the: shaft. The anterior
conical piece is an explosive shell filed
with g~unpowder, and screws on to the
rest of the harpoon. The explosive
shell is fired with a time fuse after
the harpoon is imbedded in the whale.
Behind the explosive conical piece lie
the four barbs situated at right angles
to each other. These barbs are always
bound down tightly together with thin
rope, and when the harpoon is going to
be discharged. As the harpoon pene
trates the flesh of the whale this O p
gets brushed off the barbs. and in so
doing pulls a wire. which sets fire TO
the fuse, and it eNplodes the shell in a
few seconds. The shell gets blown to
pieces and makes a terrific wound in
the whales interior, and the explosion
causes the four barbs to stand out, so
that it becomes impossible for the har-
poon to be withdrawn. The rest of the
harpoon consists of a long shaft with
a slot in it in which a ring moves free
ly with the rope attached.
If the whale is at all well hit, the har-
poon gets imbedded about five feet. and
unless the rope breaks the animal can
not escape. The rope. which is a very
stout one, passes from the harpoon
onto a round tray in front of the gun,
where a coil Of so feet or so lies.
Taken all in all, the harpoon gun is
about the most exquisitely cruel in
strument of destruction devised by the
ingenuity of man. But it is only when
one sees and knows the prodigions
brute it is meant to destroy that one
realizes it is nevertheless none too ef-
f~ective. The gun is never discharged
at a greater distance than so feet, and
seldom indeed more than 80 from the
whale. To be able to get so near re-
quires not only very fine seamanship,
a very intimate knowledge of the
of the animal.

ROMANCE OF A HANDBOOK.
Dormant Account in n Savings Bank
Found i'm n Singular
Manner,

The Bank for Savings, which is So
years old, has the heaviest dormant
account in New York, about $500, 600,
in which 1900 accounts are tied up.
Of these the ownerships OF about 200
are solved each year, and to this ac-
count are added about so which, after
the lapse of 21 years without being
touched, T entitled to enter the DOR
mant class. But in these days the
bank does not allow accounts to rest
so long, and after ten years nave
elapsed a search is made and the de-
positors located. After that the bank
keeps informed of their whereabouts
each year. In 1919. the year when the
bank first opened its doors, a church
mission in New York made a deposit
in the name of EMISSION to Jerusalem"
The amount deposited was small, but
it vas 81 years before that amount
and the interest were paid out to the
proper church authorities, says the
New York Press.
Zone of the oldest cases whichIhave
seen since / took hold of this work."
said Mr.. DeLisser, of the Bank for
Savings, "was that of a colored girl
who lived four miles from Jamaica.
The pastor of the family, while max
ing a call one day, saw the children
playing with a soiled and o bank
book. They had scrubbed over the
leaves and were tossing the book
about. No one in the family seemed
understand what the book was, and
the pastor, looking at it and seeing
that it was one of our passbooks, adj
vised them to bring it to this bank.
This girl, who was II or IS years old,
brought it to me, and on looking up
the account / saw that it called for
several hundred dollars, deposited by
a woman who afterward was proved to
be the girls grandmother. Eventually
the girl got the money, and the Incl
dent, I thought, was closed. But sew
eral months afterward she came in
and said: I was just goin' by and 1
thought I'd drop in and tell you how
much good that money did us. And
do you know, I've just been mar
ried on it, and she left, beaming all
over, as I congratulated her."

Sandals in Demand,

It is remarkable how the fashion for
wearing sandals has developed. At a
single shop belonging to a firm which
has been devoting itself to sandal
making orders have been taken during
the last eight weeks for no fewer than
$4,000 pairs. These have, however, not
been from wholesale houses, but from
private individuals. These sandals are
not, as might be supposed, merely in
tended for children's wear, but a great
many men and women have gone in for
them, and the watering places may
therefore be confidently expected to
blossom forth with pilgrims shod with
sandals.--Manchester Courier.

STILL CLOSED
Steamers Held Up At Mouth
 of Yukon By Ice
Crowded With Passengers and Are Running Short of Food - West Winds Caused tho leo to Gain Several Steamers Waiting

The month of the Yukon river Is blocked with mountains of ice and the many boats that left Dawson shortly after the opening oi navigation with passengers for Nome are still bng helpless, crowded with passengers. and their food supply is fast running short
 As none oi the steamers had more than a weeks provisions aboard when they reached the mouth of the river. the passengers must have been on short rations for the past several days.
 \ steamer which wintercd near the mouth oi the river and ran down Co the ice blockade this spring has ar rived at Fort Gibbons and brought the news which was tclegraphed from there. to the effect that the Susie. Tyrrell, Lightning, Hamilton, Light, Monarch and Louise. which left .DaW- son this spring crowded with pasScn- gers for Nome. are held at the mouth oi the river by ice. and there is dan ger oi a famine among the passengers.
 The Tyrrell Lightning and Light belong to the Black Sullivan com pany and were supposed Co take up the cargocs of the barges which start ed out from Vancouver for St. Michael but which were since reported wreck cd They took no passengers and only had enough provisions for the crew.
 On the Susie Louise, Monarch and Hamilton are nearly 300 people, most ly gamblers and sporting people. who left Dawson on these steamers after the closing of gambling there.
 As the trip from Dawson Co st. Mi shael rarely lasts over a week. only enough provisions for that time were taken. When the Susie left Wcarc she took on a weeks provisions. as a hold- up at the mouth was feared but her officers did not think it would last longer than three or four days She had in the neighborhood of 200 pas scngers aboard. among whom was cN- Governor Ogilvic and Sam (. Durham and wife.
 The other steamers. not having as many passengers as the Susie. did not take any extra provisions.
 \ strong west wind has been blow, ing since the ice went out from BcriIs sea and this has no doubt forced the ice into the shallow channels at the mouth of the river
 The boat that brought the news to Fort Gibbons is a small steamer own ed by the Greek missionary at Rus. sian Mission She was expected Co take back a load of provisions for the marooned passengers.
 The steamers Power Hannah. Alice. Cudahy, Leah. Healcy Arnold, Wcarc and Sarah are at St Michael. loaded and waiting to come up the river.
