LIFE'S CAR.

Hurry up!'
No lingering by old doors Of doubt
No lettering by the way;
No waiting a tomorrow car
When you can board today.
Success is somewhere down the track;
Before the chance is gone
Accelerate your laggard pace,
Swing on, say, swing OH
Hurry upi
"Step livelyV
Belated souls are following fast
They shout and signal, "Wait"
Conductor Time brooks no delay,
He rings the bell of Fate.
But you can give the man behind
With one hand on the bar,
A final chance to brook defeat,
And board the moving car.
Step lively!
''Move upr"
Make way for others as you sit
Or stand. This crowded earth
Has room for every jcurneying soul
Enroute to higher birth.
Aye, room and comfort, if no one
Took double share or space,
Nor let his greed or selfshness
Absorb another's place.

So you might grasp them there.

STORY OF A MODERN JONAH
GobbIed by Whale, Jumped Out, But
Was Eaten Up Again.
Was Eaten Up Again.


whale for the harpooner to launch his
weapon successfully at it, but before
the crew could pull away the wound
ed monster struck the boat an upward
blow with its fiuke. The boat was lift
ed out of the water several foot: so
high, in fact, that it turned completely
over in the air The men dropped from
it into the water. Make Salmon fell
near the furious whale, still retaining
his oar in his hands.
The whale rushed upon him, it's
tremendous jaws wide open, and en-
quilted both Salmon and his oar with
in them. 1t was the oar that saved
Salmon from instant death, for it
stuck out on each side of the whales
jaws so far back toward the hinges of
the jaw that when they came together
upon it the oar kept sthe huge mouth
from closing sufficiently to crush the
imperilied whaler, and before the whale
could change that situation Salmon
sprangf from its mouth into the sea.
BY this time another boat, in which
was Mate Salmon's brother James,
came up, and the mate succeeded in
reaching it and was lifted into it. But
his escape from the furious whale was
of but short duration. The leviathan
attacked the second boat as it had
the first and hurled it high in the air.
emptying it's crew into the sea.
Mate Salmon again fell close to the
whale, and it engulfed him as it had
done before. This time Salmon had
no oar to stay the monsters jaws, and
they closed upon him like some mighty
trap. The whale instantly went down
out of sight. and none of the crew
ever saw it or Mate iSolmon again.
James B. Salmon returned to Homes
dale after the Arabella's cruise was
ended, year or so later, with the first
news of that sea tragedy, and it and
the memory of its 1uckIess victim were
perpetuated by the setting up of the
inscribed gravestone at the tenantless
grave. James Salmon quit the sea and
became an engineer on the New York
and Erie Railroad. At his death he
was the Oldest engineer in the world
in continuous service on one railroad.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-02-07

The grave has no occupant, and never
had one. That there was any occasion
for grave or for a headstone such as
that which bears this inscription was
not known until more than a year aft
err the date on the headstone, when
James B.Salmon, a brother of Jonathan
Salmon, returned to Honesdale with
the story of his brothers fate. This
story is now recalled by old residents
of Honesdale as follows:
The whaling ship Arabella sailed
from Sag Harbor on Aug. 5, 1S47, on
one of her cruises. Jonathan Salmon,
who, with his brother James, had left
Honesdale to become whaIers some
years before, was her second mate, his
brother being one of the crew. The
Arabella fell in with a school of sperm
whales off the southwest coast of South
America on Dec. following. The
boats of the Arabella had killed three
out of the school, when, on Dec. s, the
boat commanded by Second Mate Sal
mon started in pursuit of fourth.
The boat got close enough to the

A JAPANESE WAR SONG

When Japan sent a party of naval
officers and sailors to this country to
take charge of the cruiser Kasagi, built
by the Cramps, they taught one of the
Japanese war songs to their American
acquaintance. Here is how the Jap
anese version ran in part:
Tenshin joyaku hakai hashi
Togo heiwa no giwo shiranu,
Momai ganko no chan-chan ga,
Burei kiwamaru furumaiwa,
Setshi yakuwan kogai hifun,
Nippon danshino udemaide,
Yaban no gume yaburanto.
Translated the song is as follows
THE Tientsin treaty has been broken.
The extremely discourteous conduct OF
the barbarous and stubborn Chinese,
failing to recognize the value of peace
in the East, causes teeth to be set and
arms folded, while public sentiment is
sorrowful and angry.
ITO break this dream of barbarism
by the power of the japanese soIdiery.
