THE SAILOR MAN.
illustrated Bits. }

An old salt, who navigates a bicycle
when he is in port, was working rapid
passage the other day, when he collided
with a lady cyclist After they had ex-
tricated themselves from the wreck the
sailor made an apology, from which she
could gather little except that he was sin
cerely sorry.
I'm su1e 1 ought to be scuttled for it,

BY this time there was an interested
audience, and the girl was momentarily
debating whether she should run from a
supposed lunatic or ask for an inter-
prefer.
But Jacks headpiece was still in his
hand and he was not finished.

And she smiled an assent.

rITIzENS SHOULD VOTE.

kentucky reports one of the most
undesirable citizens The Herald has
heard of in a long time. His name is
Josiah Morris and he lives at Franklin,
Ky. Mr.. Morris has never committed
an infraction of the law. He pays his
debts. he is a good neighbor. We pre-
sumo he goes TO church regularly and
that he subscribes to many philanthro-
pies. for he is a man of wealth. Mr..
,dorris was born in Kentucky sixty-one
years ago, but-and here is the unde-
sirable feature of his citizenship-he
has never cast a vote for or against
any political candidate.
No doubt Morris imagines he is a
first-ciass citizen. He isn't. No man
is a good citizen who doesn't take
enough interest in the government of
his country to vote for his country
officers. This Kentuckian is described
as a good business man. That means
that if he is a stockholder in any cor
poratiOn he goes to annual meetings
and votes for directors; If he has corn
Or wheat or tobacco or other farm
products TO sell he carefully canvasses
the buyers and sells his goods as adj
vanta geously as possible. Yet he is
willing to let anybody spend the public
money, he doesn't care what manner of
men occupy public offices.
The Herald believes that every citf-
zen who measures up TO all the legal
requirements should register and vote.
They should take the same interest in
public affairs that they take in their
private business. The curse of this
country has been the lack of interest
by otherwise good citizens in elections.
No mans hands are sofled when he
dips them into a party primary,
ward, a city or a state convention. And
no mans hands are soiled by the cast
ing of a ballot for the men he believes
to be the best fitted TO hold office.
Tomorrow is the last day for regis
tration for the city election a week
from tomorrow. Those whose names
are not on the registration books, even
though they are otherwise qualified,
will not be permitted to vote for city
officers. And the name of no individual
who failed to vote last year is on the
registration books this year. Entitled
to register and vote are those who
have lived in the state one year, in the
county four months and in the city
sixty days next preceding the election,
if they have attained the age of q
years, and foreign born citizens pos
sessing these qualifications who will
have been naturalized ninety days be-
fore the election.

The utter blockade of eastbound
freight on all the railroad lines of the
northwestern states and western Cam
ada has given great impetus to the
agitation for a short route to Europe
by way of Hudson bay.
Within the last six months. says the
Review of Reviews, six different char
tiers have been taken out Cor different
railroad schemes connecting with Hud-
son bay.

bay road as a venture that would be

year and iced up the other two

freight of Dakota and Minnesota into

end of this project now.
Another of these six Hudson hay
charters is owned by the new Cana
dian transcontinental line-the Mac

needed to connect Churchill with the
railroads of the Saskatchewan, the
Mackenzie Mann road has already
eighty built, a railroad with trains
running, not Just an iron tonic for
the cows as the funny papers have
always described roads to Hudson
bay.
Two other projects have been gal
vanized into life by the schemes Tor a
Hudson bay route. For years Canada
has talked of a deep water canal up
the ottawa from the st. Lawrence to
the Great Lakes. Suddenly surveyors
are set to work estimating the cost of
a canal that would connect Lake SUI
perior with ocean traffic. The cost,
il may be said, is estimated at SIZE
600 600
Then around Hudson bay is a vast
unorganized territory Keewatin,
about the size of Germany. The west
ern provinces of Manitoba and Sas-
katchewan suddenly awaken to the fact
that each wants an extension of its
boundaries across Keewatin for a sea-
port on Hudson bay.
Roughly speaking, Churchill, which
will be the seaport of the Hudson
bay routes, is just 1000 miles from
the grain areas of Hills roads. New
York is 1000 miles. Churchill is 1900
miles from Oregon. New York is
nearly 5000.

tain a standing offer of 10000 acres of
land a mile along the line of this rail-
road, and if this is not sufficient en-
enlargement for promoters other means

AS to the question of the PRACTICABLE
ity of the Churchill harbor the writer
quotes records showing that 1t has al
ways an open season of five months.
In favorable seasons this is extended
to seven months.
The harbor itself could not have been
better If it had been made to order. It
is a direct 550-mile plain, open, deep
water sail from the west end of the
straits-no shoals, no reefs, deep

GOVERNMENT PAWNBROKER
French Rate Per cent-ln Some
Cases No Interest Is Charged.

With none of the timidity or the hes
itation or the shamefaced aspect of our
user of the pawnshoDS does the Par
risian perform his journey to the money
lender Far from feeling, after the door
has closed behind him, that he is in the
country of the enemy, the Frenchman
can have his patriotic ardor at its high
est, for over the pawnshop flies the
tricolor of France instead of the gilded
balls, and the guard at the door is
helmeted, white-gloved Republican
guard. The customary whispering as
the borrower exchanges goods for cash
is unknown. Borrowing is a business
transaction with the government.
1t is not out of appreciation of these
conditions, of course, that 1000 people
daily visit the municipal pawnshops;
but their business trip includes
knowledge OF the fact that whatever
profits will accrue to the establish
ment VIII finally go back to the peo-
pie.
There is no haggling, says a writer
in the Philadelphia Record. On jew
elry four-fifths of the value of the OBJ
ject can be secured; on other articles,
two-thirds. The interest is per cent
per annum. Should the borrower be in
the unfortunate position of having paid
interest for many years, without being
able to release the article, the author
tiles will return 1t. When interest has
not been paid the object in question
goes to the auction, and then the right
eousness Of Paris pawnbroking is de-
cidedly in evidence. For after the sale
has been contaminated and the original
loan and interest are deducted from
the money secured by the sale, the sur
plus goes to the borrower. Should the
money remain unclaimed it is turned
over to the Paris hospitals, and. cur

There is a charm, fascination, in
living among the wild things with no
shelter from the elements save can
vas tent. which lures one from the
habitat of men to the deep, quiet woods
and the peaceful lakes. Those of us
who are lovers of nature find that we
have craving for the simplicity of
primeval life which cannot be stified.
Henry Van Dyke, in his delightful
book, The Blue Flower" expresses
this feeling probably as we'll as it has
ever been expressed. when he says;
In proud cities you will weary for the
sight of a mountain trail; in great
cathedrals you will think of the long,
arching aisles of the woodland; in
noisy solitude of crowded street you
will hone after the friendly forest"
The great charm of camp life lies in
the fact that from the moment your
tent is pitched andNyour lightwood fire
kindled. you lose yourself to the world
of men and live the free and simple
life of the wild creatures about you.
Because your heart is open you dis
cover that there is more beauty in the
notes of the hermit thrush than in the
music of grand opera, that the fra
GRANGE of the pine needles is sweeter
than rare perfume and you uncon-
sciously learn many beautiful secrets
which only close contact with nature
can reveal. At all times of the year you
realize the great charm of camping,
but it is in the autumn that you will
feel the utmost potency of its spell.
There is something about the season
when the leaves are falling and the
blue haze of Indian summer softens the
landscape that lures you to deeper
thOught-that causes you to see more
of the hidden beauties of nature and
enables you to better appreciate them.
Perhaps it is a certain mystery which
accompanies the turning of the leaves
and the whitening of the flowers; per-
haps il is that vague smell of autumn;
or perhaps the hushed. dreamy still
ness coming with the death of summer.
Whatever this indescribable something
may be, Tennyson must have felt it
when he wrote:
Tears, idle teams, 1 know not what
they mean,
Tears from the depth of some divine
despair,
