LIFE PRESERVERS
FLOAT TO SHORE
From An Unknown Vessel OFF
Coast of Virginia.
Evidently Passenger Boat That
Went to Pieces Close to Land
Recently.
NAME WAS NEVER REGISTERED.

Norfolk. Va, Oct. 30.-A meritime
puzzle that may be the result of an
ocean tragedy came to light near
Cape Hatteras today when more than
400 life preservers iloated ashore.
Between Hatteras and Big Kinna-
keet. the beach is strewn with cork
jackets. Some are marked "Caswitz,
Rettunysyurcer, G. r. p, No. 1885,
341." Others are stamped Seal
anan." Two bear the name "Smeskf. ."
Three miles north part of a white
yawl boat and fragment of a boats
gunwale washed ashore. There are
no marks on this .wreckage.
Because all the life preservers and
the pieces of wreckage came on the
beach in such limited area. and be-
cause of the large number of jackets,
shipping men here are of the opinion
that whatever the cause may be. il
occurred not far from the coast. and
If there is wreck 1t is probably
that of passenger ship. A search
among marine records has failed to
reveal any names that correspond
with those on the life preservers. and
life preservers are generally marked
with the name of the boat they are
on. 1t is probable revenue cutter
will be sent out to search off Hatteras
for further traces of wreck.

selecting a Wife.

In selecting a wife many men go
on the principle that, it being
matter Of small consequence, almost
any young thing will do. This is
great mistake. The careful man,even
in details like this. will still be gov
erned by proper circumspection.
There are various kinds of wives
to be had for the asking.
The display wife is extensively
used in this country. She is well
made, stylish, ready m social emer-
gencies and gives much pleasure in
showing her around. Under cover
she is disappointing, and is apt to
run up bills, but for certain purpos-
es Is in large demand.
The domestic wife sews and mends
nicely. makes mustard plasters and
griddle cakes, is poor cloak model,
saves money, raises children and is
useful in Illness.
The literary wife reads. writes,
and talks. She entertains people you
hate, gives functions you despise,
makes coy corners and trouble.
The economical wife makes over
her. own clothes, starves you nearly
to death, and saves enough money
so that you can have a good time
with her SUCCESSFUL you're lucky
enough to have one.
The extravagant wife gives you a
good time at twice what it's worth

GLOW L Fooled NV Ross. :,

On street car recently overheard
a fine looking young man of about
twenty-one, telling two companions
how he managed to cheat his en-
ployer ont of an hour and a half's
time every day for over year. This
is the substance of what he said
He was out great deal with the
boys and got on an average, only
about FIVE and a half hours sleep a
night. This not being sufficient. he
managed to sleep an hour and half
each day during business hours.
He went on to describe a large
door situated just back of the private
office in the store which, when open,
cut off quite a little corner of space
in such a way that he could seclude
himself there without danger of be-
ing seen. In this secluded corner.
seated in a chair, he took a nap of an
hour and a half each day.
Several of the other Clerks knew
about this retreat and they took
turns during the day. so that some
of them was resting or sleeping there
! most of the day.
One of his companions asked the
young man how he managed to avoid
detection. He replied that the door
opened into a passageway. and was
never closed in the day time; that
the boss never had occasion to look
behind it, and that he would not be
likely to miss one clerk among so
many: and even 10 he did there was
always someone who would give the
signal. SO together the young men
