A THRIFTY SAILOR.
How a MRn-O'-War's Man Makes
Money on $40 a Month

How MRn-O'-War's Man Makes
Money on $40 a Month
Beaufort, S. c., April Among the
crew of the United States monitor Amphi-
trite, which has been here during the
winter is an enlisted man by the name
of Rand, whose pay as a sailor amounts
to S16 per month Notwithstanding this
he slows away something more than $500
each month. Rand is the ships barber
and receives 81 every quarter from each
of the 300 men comprising the ships crew,
and $50 from some thirty petit and COM
missioned officers as compensation for
his tonsorial services In addition to this
generous sum the enterprising tar lends
money to his inpecunous ship mates at
% per cent interest. Yesterday Rand was
relating his experiences In Cuba to some
friends on Bay street when he was APP
preached by a drunken sailor who de-
sired a loan of $40. To the amazement
of the bystanders the barber produced a
81 200 roll of crisp greenbacks and handed
his shipmate the amount he asked for
The tar pocketed his roll and FASTENED
away. When on shore leave Rand puts
up at the Sea Island hotel, where several
naval officers and their families are quar-
tered. One of these gentlemen was indis-
Greet enough to complain to the proprie-
tor of the establishment that he consid-
cred IL piece of audacity for an enlisted
man to board at a hotel where his super
Tor officers were lodged The hotel man
replied to the effect that the sailors coin
was at par with the lieutenant's, and
added that as long as he conducted him
self with propriety he would be as well
come as any other guest.

saw Phil's eye travel across the road

man was shown ina young man with
a pale and anxious face.

"Most people are lopsided." said a
Chestnut street photographer. ut
isn't a very nice thing to say. per-
haps, but it's true. In my business
have to study peoples features very
closely in order to get the best re-
suits, and I can safely say that the
two sides of persons face are never
alike. Only about one person in 15
has perfect eyes. and in many cases
the eyes are entirely out of line-that
is, one is slightly higher than the
other. The right ear is also very often
higher than the left. and one cheek is
sometimes noticeably fuller than the
other. Tailors will tell you. too, that
the left leg of most men is longer than
the right Try it and see. Take a
pair OF trousers. hold them together
at the waist band. and you will see
that one leg is made longer than the
ether. One arm is nearly always
longer than the other. r."-Philadelphia

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1901-07-08

To stem the tide of emigration Of
farmer boys to the cities will hereafter
be one of the duties of the Illinois dis
lrict school teacher. This has been de-
school superintendents, who find that
the attendance at country schools is
falling off so fast as to threaten the
Ktinction of some of them. Their
view in this matter is confirmed in a
measure by the last census report,
which indicates clearly that the rural
topulation of Illinois is drifting grad,
ually to the cities and larger towns,
,eaving the farms with smaller pop
ulation each year. 1t is a develop
ment in the agricultural states of the
West of a movement which has almost
passed beyond comment in the eastern
states. 1t will not yet be accepted in
the West, however, as an uncontrolla-
Bile movement, and the method adopt
ed to check it in Illinois is to increase
in the school children love of the
farm and its work. and to increase the
interest in agriculture by instruction
along it's scientific and business sides.
By the adoption of new course OF
study, patterned after that in the col
iege of agriculture in the University
of Illinois, it is hoped to convince the
BOYS that farming is not necessarily
a drudge, that it can be made a pleas
ing employment, and. what is more tc
the point, profitable one.

teacher and Interpreter, Miss Helen 8.
ConIey, of course goes with him. and
through her he holds his own with his
class. His grammar school work has
increased his self-reliance, and he has
been very anxious to keep up with the
other boys. They on their part are
very considerate of Tommy. They in
vite him to enter into all their games
and sports, and they find him a very
good comrade.
The year before last he had trip
to Washington; and although not then
13, he showed the liveliest interest in
everything at the capital. He had
delightful interview with the presi-
dent and Immediately accepted the in
vitation of the latter to visit the White
House. Tommy eagerly inspected ev-
cry room, carefully examining all the
fittings and furnishings, and at last
announced "the blue room is the pret-
test" He had come to this decision
undoubtedly on account of the silk
hangings on the walls On the way to
Washington he had visited Philadel-
phia and had thoroughly enjoyed
visit to the mint
Without any dogmatic teaching
Tommy has discovered the existence
of a supreme God. For example, "The
world is very large. Men made houses
and ships, but men cannot make land.
Who made the land?" was q question
that came naturally from him, and as
his inquiries are answered he is grad
ually shaping a creed for himself. Mr..
Anagnos says that as far as the
achievement of results is concerned.
Tommys record surpasses that of all
other persons in his condition. That
| is, he is not second to Laura Bridg-
man, Helen Kellar or Willie Robin.
| Instead of a helpless idiot, deformed
Caliban, as he might have been, he is
bright, intelligent boy, with a face
| full of expression. With his bent
toward science and his zeal for in
vestigating, he may some time make
his mark in the world.
Tommys education is naturally ex-
pensive, since the time of one per-
son must be given entirely to him.
The $500 of the past year was con-
tributed by so individuals and organ
| try. Kindergartens in various day and
Sabbath schools have been among the
contributors, and many little children
are regularly saving their spare PEN
nies to send to Tommy Stringer. A
movement has begun to establish a
permanent fund for Tommy, similar
to that which was raised for Helen
Kellar, for if he continues to develop
as rapidly as in the past, he will GER
tainly be able to return to the world
greater part of all that has been
showered on him. He is interested in
electricity, and asks extremely intelli-
gent questions about its practical ap-
plication. His first ride in an automo-
bile was an event in his life, and the
gift of companion bicycle by lib
eral friend led him to devise a kind
of wooden bicycle which he called
foot car"
But above all Tommy's cleverness is
his affectionate disposition, which
makes him fully appreciate all that
has been done to bring him out of
darkness.-H. L. R., in Chicago Times
| Herald.
