The Battles Of the Ocean.

Stories of peril, adventure and heroism
| have been uncommonly. numerous in the
newspapers on both sides OF the Atlantic
in recent weeks. Not for many a year
has the ocean which separates Europe
from the eastern coast OF America been
so storm tossed in January, February
and March as it has been in the first
year OF this century. Tempests of a
violence almost incredible have been
raging week after week, and the stateli.
est aud most majestic of vessels have
been buffeted to and fro by wave and
gale as if they were no more imposing
and massive than the caravels OF the
little feet of Columbus which crossed the
sea more than four hundred years ago.
1t is the chorus OF the shippers of all
sorts OF craft, big and little, that the
Atlantic has not ragged more wildly in a
long series of winters than it has been
boiling and seething since the new year
of 1901 dawned. The logs of the COM
manders and the reports of passengers
alike make it indisput able that the first
three months of this year have been
times of the severest trial to every class
of shipping on the Atlantic coast or over
sea. 1t has been marvellous warfare OF
human skill and courage and mastery of
resources against the destructive forces
which nature can muster when aroused
And it is cause for congratulation that
the loss of lite has been small, chiefly be-
cause the brave men who sail the ocean
craft have been so strong and resolute.
The world goes forward steadily. It's
progress may not always be dazzling,
but it advances surely, although some
times slowly. And in nothing more than
in navigation and the capacity to meet
every possible hazard OF the sea is the
onward movement surer and more sub
stantial. What record of rescues, at
any risk and in the face of the most APP.
palling of dangers, there has been on
coast and in midocean in the last few
months! The sea heroes of peace are the
peers of the champions OF war.-[New

"Inquests are sometimes very funny
affairs" remarked a western man. 81
remember one in the early days of my
county in Kansas. A man was found
dead by the side of a small stream out
on the prairie. No mark was found
on his well dressed body. His gun
was fully loaded in his hip pocket, and
500 was found in his pocketbook. OF
course the coroner took charge of the
money. A jury was impaneled and
after finishing it's deliberations found
that the man clearly died of heart fail
ure.
The coroner promptly paid from the
dead mans pile the $12 due for ex-
penses and discharged the jury. The
$13 remaining bothered him. He ar
gued that to turn that $13 over to the
county, to be held in trust for the
mans possible relatives, would be the
same as throwing it away. The man
was a stranger in those parts. Posi-
bly, he had no friends.
The coroner was equal to the occa-
sion, however. He declared himself
dissatisfied with the verdict and call
cd the jury together again. They sat

Not So Far Gone,

The last letter he received from
wiley conveyed the intelligence that
she was quite sick, and of course he
was considerably worried. But he was
comforted by the fact that she was
with her mother. He wrote her an af-
fectionate letter and told her to be sure
and let him know if she grew worse.
The next letter conveyed the intelli-
lgence that she was a little worse,
though the doctor said it was nothing
serious. But he worried a great deal.
The next afternoon telegraph boy
sauntered into his office with the usual
nonchalance of a messenger boy con-
veying rush message and showed
the book under hubby's nose.
SIS dis Mr.. Blank?" asked the boy.
EYES," gasped hubby, cold chills chas-
ing up and down his spine.
Message FIR you. Sign here. De
charges is 60 cents"
Hubby grabbed the fateful manila
envelope and hastily tore it open. What
he suffered while tremblingly unfold
ing the bit of yellow paper can be i'm
agined, but not described. He was al
most afraid to read it, but finally he
nerved himself for the worst. This is
what he read:
Turn off the water and don't forget
to give the bird plenty of seed."-Oma-
ha World-Herald.

In the Philippines.
Judge Ide,. Civil Code

Judge Henry c. Ide, of the Philippine
commission, has just completed the pre-.
paration of new code of court proce-
dure for the islands. The bill, which will
be enacted-in April has been the subject
of a great amount of study and research,
and its various features have been critic.
ally compared by the author with those
OF various countries with the intention
of combining simplicity with efficiency
and prompt administration ofjustice. A
criminal code, which is in course of pre-
paration by Commissioner Luke E.
Wright. will work in tremendously with
the civil codes provisions. There will
be no jury trials in any branch of ad-
judicature, and the practice as to law
and equity cases will be similar. The
general Spanish laws will for the present
remain in force, where not superseded by
acts passed by the commission, but later
an entire revision OF the Spanish laws
will be enacted. Spanish will be the
court language till 1906 The new code
substitutes new courts for the present
courts of first instance and of justices OF
the peace, consequently making vacant
the present judges offices, and making it
unnecessary to investigate in detail the
many charges made against either the
present incumbents or the cumbersome
and often unjust system under which
they work. The supreme court is to hold
two sessions each year at Manila, and
those two sessions will cover probably a
greater portion Of the year, but is like
wise to hold one short session a year at
1loilo and another at Gebu, to try cases
originating in those portions of the
archipelago.
