A Rocket for Life-Savers and a Silk

The Former Aids in the Location OF

Defense Against Bullets.

Capt. Andre, Chicago life-saying
official, has recently made an inn
proyement in the method of throw
ing life lines to wrecked or disabled
ships.
If the wreck happen at night steel
rocket is used which leaves "A trail of
light behind il and thus enables the
life savers to locate the vessel in dis
tress, and also shows those ON the
ship where the life line has been cast.
The captain has devised combina-
ton of colored lights which will burn
for almost minute in a continuous
trail of light.
Under the old method shot after
without reaching the ship, and with
out giving any knowledge to the
crew that an attempt is being made
to save them. With this rocket line

\ young Pole, Jan Slczepanik, has

A famous lawyer once had singu-

to him in great distress. Two sis
tiers, living in the same house, had
babies OF equal age, who so resem-
hled each other that their own moth

when they were together.
Now it happened that by the care
lessness OF the nurses their children
had become mixed. and how were the
mothers to make sure that they re-
ceived back their own infants?

"the children weren't changed ut all"

A PICTURESQUE CEREMONY.
The Ancient Custom of Distributing
haundy Money by King OBJ
served In Westminster Abbey,

The ancient ceremony of distribut-
ing Maundy money has just been OBJ
served in all its old world picturesque
ness in Westminster abbey, saws a
London dispatch to the New York Trib-
une. In most details the function was
identical with that established in the
past, and confirmed by unbroken Gus
tom. SiXty-one old men and women, the
number corresponding with the age of
the sovereign, received benefactions.
and, in addition, there were eight sur
vivors from Queen Victorias list. The
distributions amounted to 60 los for
each woman and 60 IS for each man
in lieu Of clothing, and in addition a
purse containing as many pence as
the kings years of age in silver pen
MES. two pence. three pence and four
pence. The recipients afterward found
many purchasers for their Maundy
money, most of them being Amer

rHE rooL1sHNEss or YOUTH.

The stad and sober citizen who has passed his
salad days frowns upon the eXuberance OF youth,
and not without Just provocaton. He cannot abide
the hoarse-lunged young fellow whose highest ambl-
ton is to attend base ball game and STRAIN his
lungs by yelling at the top of his voice, Rah, rah,
rah here lis veil. We are the boys from Jackson
Vile or something else equally us idlotic and
spnsless The elder man wonders why idiots were
included in the eternal plan.
Should he stop to think he would recall that when
he was green and calow youth he had just as lit
tie sense and displayed just great lack of dis
creion as the voungster whose nervous etervescence
h. now deplores.
But there should be limit to youthful folly.

determined to prevent it. They sought to kldnap
the treasurer of the class, Nelson Bond. He ran
from them, and III endeavor to reach place of
safety ran off n dock and into lake He was
drowned before his foolish persercutors could rescue
him. Young life was snuted out becuase lew
fools did not have sufficient to attend To their
own business, and leave other people alone.
They were not murderers They did not mean t.
kill but to a heart-broken father and mother the
suit is the same as if they had carefully planned
and executed a deliberate homicide.

choked him to death and only ceased their barba

their victim.
There are some things in this little world of ours
that are past human understanding. One of then
is why young men will sometimes act in name

GEN. WOODS EXPENSE ACCOUNT.

1t seems puere action on the part of Estes G.
Rathbone's friends to attack Gen. Wood upon his
expense account in Havana Exposure was threat
ened useless Rathbone's release could be brought
about, and it has come. Gen. Wood has purchased
large quantities of sideboard supplies and has
charged them up to the Cuban government funds
What of it? Any person who has visited the admin
lstraton building in Havana during Gen. Wood 5
incumbencv can understand how such thing might
be without any scandal or charge Of improper con-
duct so long as public sentiment will stand for,
demands sideboard hospitality. Not day went
past but delegations of visitors would arrive and pay
a visit to the governor Many distinguished
visitors, some old friends from the States and
Others just plain tourists who wanted to SET

these people courteously and to show them about
the building Occasionally it seemed thu proper
caper to treat the visitors with something more
than common courtesy, and it done. Occa-
sionaly public function held, at which wines
and other good things served 1t is unreason-
able to expect the governor to support the dignity
of his office and entertain prominent people of Gu
ba the United States and European countries at his
own expense on u salary Of $4,000 $4,000 a
wear. Gen. Wood is not a millionaire. The duties
thrust upon him were much more burdensome than
those of diplomat of the first Glass; and it to
be expected that he would spend money in enter
tanning visitors and that he would live in fashion
becomining his office. 1t might be well to compare
his personal expenditures with those of the Spanish
governors who proceeded him, and who spent far
less money IL the public behalf.

BROKE HANDSPRING RECORD
$50 People in Space of Eight
Minutes.

President Roosevelt broke all pre-
vious records by shaking hands with
$50 people in the space of eight min
utes in the white house the other
morning. While people were waiting
outside of Secretary CourtelyOu'S
office to see the president, the pres
ident quietly slipped downstairs and
had greeted three delegations from
various states before he was missed
from the cabinet room. OF course, the
handshaking kept every muscle in the
presidents body constantly in mo-
ton, and he worked with his full en-
ergy until the task was over, but even
then he had word for every person
that passed down the line This is
President Roosevelt's second recep-
ton to large delegations by special
appointment since his residence in the
white house. The other morning he
received several hundred School-teach-
ers from New York. Aside from the
official receptions of last winter and
the one official reception on New
Years day when he greeted hundreds
of people not of official rank, the pres
ident has confined his meeting to small
companies in his executive office. Dur
ing the spring months he will receive
by special appointment delegations
who may wish to touch his hand for
less than a second. Before reaching
the president the visitors had to pass
a secret service officer and one of the
white house ushers, while beyond him
were several detectives, and back Of
all Secretary Cortelyou. who has been
watching presidential crowds for ten
years and can spot crank as far as
he can see him.
