The matrimonial failure of Pat.
bartender in the center of the city, has
been common knowledge for some
time, and it has also been no secret
that Pat really does not blame his
wife for her impatience with his hab-
its. Pat is in dead earnest when he
says that his wife really is too good
for him and deserves a divorce, which
the self-abasing Pat would gladly
grant her if ii wasn't so expensive
The good faith Of Pat in this respect
was, however, never more forcihly IL
Illustrated than during the severe at
tack of pneumonia from which he has
just recovered. Pat, the doctors say
you are very sick" said his wife dur

Aliens Took SI1O.OOO,O 900.

According to figures compiled by the
North German Lloyd line. S110,O00000
was taken out of the United States last
year by aliens returning to their former
homes in Europe. This computation is
based on figures furnished by steamship
agents. money changers and others in a
position to be Informed. and is made on
the assumption that the average amount
carried by returning foreigners is $500,
and that 550.045 immigrants returned to
theirl native land. 1t is estimated that
this $500 will maintain him in absolute
idleness for g year or more, and when
the money is gone he will return. \ pc

Low Death Rate in Navy,

Much interesting information in re-
gard to the navy is found in the recent
annual report of Surgeon General Rixey.
With an average strength. including the
Marine Corps, of about 1900. both afcat
and ashore. the total number of deaths in
the navy for the year was 241, ratio of
5.66 per 1000.
1t is natural that picked class of men
under constant surveillance should make
a better record than the heterogeneous
population of a city. But the contrast
between rate of 5.66 in the navy and q
rate of from 30 to 80, or even higher,
in the cities is a good showing for the
former.
OF these 241 deaths only 144 were
from disease. The remaining 81 were
from injury, including poisons.
