COAxlNG TAXES OUT OF JOHN
BULL.

IN ten years, said an English naval
expert day or two ago, the control
OF the sea will pass from Great Brit
ain to the United States. Uncle Sam,
It appears, is building more battle
ships this year than John Bull.
Hence the alarm of the English expert
quoted above. 1t is impossible to be-
lieve, however, that his fears are gen.
uine. Our British cousins have too
long a start to be overhauled by Uncle
Sam unless we should increase the
number of our shipyards and spend
hundreds of millions of dollars in the
Eext decade turning out battle-ships
and cruisers. The truth is that the
alarm expressed by our British cous-
ms is part of their scheme to recon
cile King Edwards subjects to heavy
taxation to maintain England's nava
supremacy. That is the way the Brit
on is "bunkoed" into paying heavier
tribute to his government. The game
is an old one, but the British TAX
payer has not yet seen through it

When Camille di Righini, the charm

as to his nationality, for he was born
two days out from New York, on the

TRAILING OLD FASHIONS,

How often in reading we run across
some such phrase as this: "Old-fasfl
iored ideas Of morality" Or we hear
person about to deliver an i'm
promptu homily, say: Il may havo
o,d-f2shioncd ideas about the sacred
ness of the marriage vow, but" Or
mother say: My children could
have more money than | had when
was a girl, but | am going to bring
them up in tie O!dfasbioncd way. My
girls shall know how to cook and do
hcusework if necessary, and they will
make good housewives and mothers"
Father has such old-fashiOned no
tiOns," said a high school boy. "He
has made us all promise not to drink
wine or play cards until we are TWEEN
ty-onc. And he says it's the boys who
have o!d-fashioned parents who be-
come the successful men"
There are worse things Inan being
Old-fashioned. Progress is all very
well, providing it progresses. But
why should we feel it necessary to call
our ideas of right living od-fashioned
and to speak Of them in a semi-apolo-
gctic manner? If old-fashi ioned, 10
much the better on that very account
They have the backing Of experience.
They have been tried and tested By

We hear of 'old-fashioncd polite

us. Why should these virtues be
called old-fashioncd? Is it not dis

Black Silk AGAIN Popular.


Smart mountain millinery leaves
the blossoms of town and country
aside to a great extent. The most ef
fective of the hats now being turned
out for such use run largely to wide
ribbons or velvets, put on in big bows,
with sometimes a rich red and blue
contrasting. A straw brim shape of
deep red has a large bow flanked at
the back with larger blue one. This
double butterfly was placed straight
across the front of the hat, an edge
Of blue under the wide brim giving
raison d'etre to the odd combination.
Another thing noticed is that the
mountain dowager is much given to

ANOTHER RAILROAD HERO.

icnGlcy Jones Of Georgia was a sec-
ton foreman in the employ Of the Sea
BOARD Air line. One night las' week
he was riding on a handcar nea.' len
frees, Stewart county, Ca. in the dis
charge Of his dun duties. Three other
men were with MIN, climbing a heavy
grade. Up TO that moment all four
graded together There dashed
around curve ahead of them an ex-
ira freight, heavily laden and rushing
down upon them, grade and steam to-
gethcr.
The other three men jumped t.
safety. They wOuli no doubt defend
their action by quoting the old axiom
about selfrreservaticn being the first
law of nature. But Jones did not de-
pend upon aXioms to justify his law OF
conduct; he was the sort of man who
reckoned by acts. so he stayed where
he was.
1t was time when the fraction OF
a second was LIE. Jones saw tnis,
and saw also that to stop the t.-aiu
was impossible There was, in his
conception, only one thing for him to
do, and that was to save the crew OF
the freight at the probable cost OF his
own life. That he did. Calmly but
rapidly he stopped the handcar and
threw it from the track-and the train
rushed by unframed over his dead
body.
Jones left a widow and two little
children. Some men would have
pleaded that they must remain alive,
at the cost of the lives of others, for
the sake of their families. But Hcnd-
ley Jones did his duty and left his
wife and children fathers memory
of whose end they could be proud.
"He Only did his Guty?" Is the per-
formance of ones duty so common
place thing that we may regard it
lightly. One of the most famous Of
Russian authors once wrote n story in

he showed that they met death with

This is one of the prettiest ways OF

be bought in the Syrian quarters or

them. Remove the skins and pound
the nuts TO Z smooth paste, favorinS
with a little orange flower water
Make vanilla cream with or with
cut eggs. as you prefer; add the nut
paste and freeze. The meringues are
better bought OF the contectioner, as
it is not worth while to spend the time
on anything so difficult to get just
right. Press a spoonful Of the cream
between the shells and serve on small
plates. The green cream pressed be-
tween the white shells looks most at
tractiye, especially on a hot day.
