A Tricky Skipper.

Talking about rats" said stevedore
on Sixth street pier, reminds me of
a pretty slick trick I witnessed the
other day on the part of down east
skipper who wished to rid the ship of
a number of troublesome rodents. His
vessel was moored near to an English
freighter, and he noticed that she was
taking in. quantity of cheese. So
one evening he found an excuse for
hauling out to her and taking his own
packet alongside. The next step was
to procure a plank, smear it well with
an odoriferous preparation of red
behring's and place it through an open
port on board the Englishman The
result was that during the night there
was a wholesale immigration of rats
from the American ships hold to the
cheese laden vessel alongside. New

Manager Of the Western Fur Factory
Finds It Will Be Possible for Him
to Remain in the City.
On Saturday it was stated in these
columns that Mr.. P. Kantrowich of the
Western Fur Factory would have to
leave the city because Of illness, and
must close out his business. He now
wishes to be able to let the public
know positively, in few days, il he
can remain permanently. His family
are expected this week, and this will
assist him In taking care of his health
as advised by his physician. His wife
will bring with her help acquainted
with the business and thus relieve him
to certain extent. All my promises
will be kept as to the discount sale for
this entire week. o., -. :s,.

STYLE IN WRITING.
An Incident That Showed How Well
Choate knew De Quincy. "

An Incident That Showed How Well
. Chonte knew De Quincy.
1t is the fashion to laugh gently at
any claim Of special sense for style
in writing. Most people really believe
that Mr.. Brown and Mr.. johnson will
order a car load Of potatoes in substan-
TALLY the same words and that Lord
Bacon and Master Shakespeare wrote
enough alike to deceive their dearest
friends. But occasionally one comes
upon an illustration that goes to prove
style in writing is as distinctive to the
trained eye as color is. 49,
Many years ago James T. Fields was
making collection of the writings of
De Quincy. The essays were widely
scattered in various periodicals and
were often hard to identify. Mr..
Fields knew Rufus Choate as a devot-
ed student of De Quincy and wrote
him one day asking his opinion as to
certain article. Was it by De Quin-
cey or not?
Mr.. Choate replied that it certainly
was There could be no mistaking the
style Of the piece. A few weeks later
Mr.. Choate received, through Mr..
Fields, a letter from De Quincy deny
ing absolutely and somewhat indig-
nantly the authorship of the article
But Choate was not of the stuff to
yield his opinion for trifie like that.
He wrote to Mr.. Fields:
IT still believe that De Quincy wrote
the essay, De Quincy to the contrary
Notwithstanding"
Doubtless Mr.. Fields read the note
with smiling comment, ''That's just
like Choate's confidence in his own
judgment!'
Months elapsed. One day there came
letter from De Quincy containing a
humble apology for his previous blum
der. BY chance he had found in his
desk the manuscript Of the very arti.

years before, it had passed entirely
from his mind, land you may tell your

MORAL DlLEMMAS,
When Man IL Forced to Make q
Choice Between Two Evils.

When Man Ii Forced to Make q
Choice Between Two Evils.
The rules of logic are unknown to
the mass Of mankind, but no one pos
sessed of intelligence is unfamiliar
with the process Of balancing alterna-
tives. Even the animals use it when
they choose between two paths or two
actions, as between fight and fight.
Men use it in every dilemma, great or
small, from the choice between the
simplest actions to the issue of life or
death. Is the thing under considera-
ton good or bad? Shall I vote for A
or E? Shall -! act now or postpone?
Shall take risk? Shall I stop or go
on? Shall l change my course? Shall
I do this or that? In these and other
dilemmas we balance the consequences
of one alternative against the other
and choose what appears to be the bet
ter. Facing death. in two forms, we
choose the better way. Balancing al
ternatives, one will jump from high
window to the pavement to escape fire.
The moral dilemmas presented to us
are not always limited to clear
choice between right and wrong. 1t is
wrong to steal, but should one starve
or permit those dependent on him to
starve rather than steal? 1t is right to
tell the truth, but should one tell the
truth when it involves the betrayal of
his comrades, his country, his family?
1t is wrong to deceive, but would not
one be justified in deceiving the enemy
who would destroy him? 1t is wrong to
kill, but may not one kill in self de-
Tense?
The problem of morals presses con-
stantly upon the human race, present
ing to each individual in turn new
trials, difficulties and repugnant
choices. Each must to a large degree
choose his own way to fight his own
battle. These are the facts which con-
fuse our ethical counselors. 1t is not
possible to act always in exact har-
mony with our moral code. If one is
SO placed that he can save his mother
from starvation only by stealing, he
will violate the fifth commandment If
he permits her to starve, and he will
violate the eighth commandment if he
chooses to steal. The choice between
two evils often comes to the individual
suddenly and imperatively. He must
act at once, rendering a decision for
which there is often no precedent
known to him. The Decalogue, which
he can recite; the philosophical analy-
sis of the evolutions of ethics, do not
aid him.
He who is thus tried and who desires
to do right will choose the course
which is least evil. He will balance
the alternatives, exactly as does the
one who jumps to the pavement rather
than remain in the burning building
