The War Of the Elements

The War of the Elements.
Immediately Jack was on his feet
When danger threatens he is not the
man to dream.
you want to tell me something, OLD
man-something deucedly unpleasant
unless I'm very much mistaken. Now,
have 1t out, without any apology. The
sooner these things are known the
quicker they can be met"
That is the greeting job Smithers
receives. He is unable to repress his
surprise.
You're a quick one to get on to
trouble, sir. But there's no use in dis
guising matters. These soldiers
haven't found out anything wrong yet,
but 1t will soon burst on them like
thundcrclap. and then you'll see the

grow stronger, and nothing can pre-
vent that raging forest fire from com
ing down on us by another route
Senior Jack is not naturally despond-
ent, and he as usual thing does not
let loophole that promises results
escape him.
'Tf 1t came to the worst, perhaps we
might let the carriage swing over to
the old stand again. There the fire
has burned everything possible, and
we might be able to stand IT." suggests
Smithers, though he advances the idea
dubiously as though having little faith
in 1t himself

"Six miles away. We would never
reach it If the wind grew into gale,
as is possible, and the fire swung
round, cutting us Off"
"Ah, sir, you are so quick to punch
holes in my poor plans, am sure you
have one of your own to submit,
laughs Job Smithers.
Jack shakes his head and resumes
smoking
"All / can suggest is that we sit
quietly down and resign ourselves to
the inevitable"
Not give up the ship-that isn't
your way, sir. There's something
back of it. You have made discov-
cry. You believe the situation is
robbed of its terrors; hence your Sc
rene manner. Tell me what 1t is, that
may join in your satisfaction
1.-The same old story has gone on
since the world began-that eternal
warfare that will never cease to be-"
'Eh?" gasps Smithers, dimly, sus-
pecting his employers mind may
have been affected by the many
strange experiences that have of late
crowded upon them.
THE war of the elements-between
fire and water-a vendetta that can
never cease so lcng as nature exists.
Now you grasp the idea?"
Smithers does. He turns his face
upward to view the forbidding heav-
ems. and as he does so drop of rain
splashes in one of his eyes. Never
was such more devoutly received.
"Sir. you are right. It is coming.

The soldiers have been made aware
of this new danger. They are on the

SHAW tNTiMATES
4 BANK DIRECTORS
ARE NEGLECTED.
Secretary of Treasury Says Govern
ment Cannot Guarantee Honesty
OF Cashiers, Etc.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Nov. g.
It's not Intended that the Inspection
service shall supplant the boards Of
directors nor does it mean after u
hank has been examined that we guar
antee the honesty of the cashier and
ether officers
Thus spoke Secretary Shaw OF the
Treasury Department during the
course of talk about the Enterprise
National. The Secretary's he was
aroused by query as to what is tn /,
matter with the examination service,
There is nothing wrong with It,"
he said. THE trouble, in most cases,
is that the directors expect the exam
iner to discharge the duties the laws
place upon them. and with their obi.
cations TO the other stockholders re-
Quire they should discharge. The dis.
charge of their duties, by he dtrec-
tors, supplemented by such examina-
tons as are being made now will as
sure the safety OF a bank that is not
wholly In the hands of thieves"
Notwithstanding the belief of the
Secretary that the Inspection service
rendered by bank examiners, as .
rule. is all right. Comptroller RIdgely
in his annual report will make several
recommendations all intended to in.
prove the quality of the examinations
made by the examiners.
For one thing, he will ask that q
way be provided for increasing the
compensation of the examiners, and
an increase In their authority, so that

Norway,s New KING.

The name of Hakom. which. Prince
Charles of Denmark will assume II he
ascends the Norwegian throne. recalls
the remote past in which Norway was
an independent kingdom. Hakon W.,
who died in 1886, was the last king
whom Norway had of its own. His
widow, Margaret, Danish princess,
came TO rule over Norway, Denmark
and Sweden, and strove to make the
arrangement lasting by the union Of
1897. Sweden revolted under Gus
tavus Vasa, the contemporary of King
Henry VIII, of England, but Norway
remained a Danish dependency until
1914.
The first Hakon was usurper, who
drove his elder brother from the
throne in 935, and thus brought on a
long and fierce civil war. He was o
Christian. unlike his predecessors, and
in his zeal did not scuple to convert
his subjects by main force. Another
famous Hakon, who resigned In the
thirteenth century, Is remembered
for his invasion of Scotland in 1865
He was defeated at the battle Of
1.args.
The new Hakon. WHO will be the
seventh of his name. also invaded
England, and carried OFT ole of Its
Processes. But he came and wen'

HAS TROUBLE With FEEDER.

William Ashman, chief steward of
the Pacific Mail liner Korea, was ac-
ceptable to the company on the way
out from New York, and to Commo-
dore Seabury on five voyages to the
Orient, but he got into a dispute on the
last voyage to the Orient with Captain
Feeder, who took Seabnry's place dur
ing the latter's absence on a vacation.
The result of the dispute is a vacation
for Ashman. His place on the Korea
during the next voyage will be taken
by w. G. Thompson, formerly on the
steamer Gaelic. Ashman has always
been regarded as one of the best of the
Pacific Mail stewards, and his falling
out with Feeder of the Korea occasions
surprise.-Chronicle.
