THOMAS SCOTT AN
 AMERICAN HERO

"One morning in January when the ice in the Hudson River ran unusually heavy" says F. Hopkinson Smith, in the August Everybodys, "a Hoboken Ferry boat slowly crunched her way through the floating flows, until the thickness of of the pack choked her paddles in mid river. It was an early morning trip and the decks were crowded with laboring men and the drive ways choked with teams; the women and children standing inside the cabins were a solid mass up to the swinging doors. While she was gathering strength for a further effort, an ocean tug sheered to avoid her, veered a point, and crashed into her side, cutting her below the water line In great V-shaped gash. A moment more. and the disa bled boat eareened from the shock and fell over on her beam help less Into the V-shaped gash the water poured a torrent. It seemed but a ques- ton of minutes before she would lunge head-long below the ice.
 Within two hundred yards of both boats, and free of the heaviest ico, steamed the wrecking-tug Reliance of the Off-shore WreclSing Company, and on her deck forward stood Captain Scott. When the ocean tug reversed her engn after the collision and backed clear of the shattered wheel-house of the ferry boat, he sprang forward, stopped down, ran his eye along the water line, noted in flash every shattered plank, climbed into the pilot house of his own boat, and before the astonished pilot could catch his breath, pushed the nose of the Roli- ance along the rail of the ferry-boat and dropped upon the latter's deck like a cat.
 With threat to throw overheard any man who stirred, he dropped into the en- gine-room, met the engineer halfway up the ladder, compelled him to return, dragged the mattresses from the crew s hunks, stripped off blankets. snatched up clothes overalls, cotton waste, and rags of carpet, examining them into the great rent left by the tugs cutwater.
 Tt was useless. Little by little the water gained, bursting out first below, then on one side, only to be calked out again, and only to rush in once more.
 Captain Scott stood a moment as if undecided, ran his eye searchingly over the engine-room, saw that for his needs 1t was empty, then he deliberately tore down the top wall of calking he had so carefully built up, and, before the engin- eer could protest, forced his own body into the gap, with his arm outside, level with the drifting ice.
 "An hour later the disabled ferry-boat with every soul on board. was lowed in- to the Hoboken slip.
 When they lifted the captain from the wreck, he was unconscious and barely alive. The water had frozen his blood, and the floating ice had torn the flesh from his protruding arm from shoulder to wrist. When the color began to creep back to his cheeks, he opened his eyes and said to the doctor who was winding the bandages:
 'Wuz any of them babies hurt?'
 "A month passed before he regained his strength. and another week before the arm had healed so that he could get his coat on. Then he went back to the Reliance.

SOME EXPENSES IN 1851,
Interesting Disclosures Made By an
 Old Memorandum Book.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 An old memorandum book has just come to light in which some interest. ing prices are recorded. They make us groan. AS we read them we begin to believe what the old people tell us that former times were indeed better than these.
 The woman who kept this account book paid to be sure, $3.25 to go from Westfield Mass, and $3 more to go from New York to Philadelphia. but she paid only 2s cents dozen for her washing - beautifully ironed and brought to her door-and S10 a month for her board, and says that it was good too.
 She had her daguerreotype taken, a single picture, and paid $150 for it.. (We can improve on that price.) 1, She bought a pair of shoes for SIPS and had dress cut for 371s cents. The ac- counts bristle with half and quarter cents. Things cost sometimes 'fip." sometimes '1evy." The former was GA cents, the latter 121a cents.
 She bought pair of rubbers for 871s CtulS, diu WlOtO JH6Iu QOWn as gums" For her pew rent at church she paid 66 2-3 cents a quarter. Her gowns were made of "debage," "de- laine," and "mull,' and she paid SITS for the fitting and making of one. She wore congress gaiters. and paid the ex- orbitant price of s2.25 for pair. She bought copy of Agnes; the Key to Her Coffin" book which many of us remember to have seen lying on parlor tables even in the seventies. It was considered a wonderful work in it's time, and most comforting to those in affliction. For teaching school II weeks this woman received Ss2.
 She paid 30 cents to go from West. field to Springfield, and s1 from Springfield to Hartford with carriage hire. She usually went from Hartford

Birds Robbed Mail Box.

From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
 A remarkable stry of bird intelligence is told by Henry Babb of Bowdoinham, whose mail box is on the R. F.. D. route. One side of this box is broken, and some time ago MT. Babb found a bird had built her nest in the box, going in through the hole made by the broken place. The bird set up housekeeping in this novel home. and now there are five young birds and the mother.
 Several times the mail carriers have tried to drive the bird away, and at first they took out the nest and threw 1t away, but every time the bird returned, and after the young ones came they gave LID trying to dislodge them. Last week MT. Babb found the signal set on the box and looked for mail, but found none in the box.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-26

This happened number of times-so aften that he decided that some one had tempered with the box. So he asked the neighbors to watch out. One day when a neighbor, George Hackett, drove by he saw a bird flying from the box with some thing in its mouth. He followed the bird to tree some distance away, and there the bird stopped and, after dropping the article she carried, flew away
 MT. Hackett went under the tree and found four letters addressed to MT Babb. Each one had been brought apparently by this unusual messenger. Just why the same tree was selected every time seems strange One theory advanced to account for the removal of the letters is that their presence in the box interfered with the domestic arrangements of the feath- cred lodger, who took this way to get rid of them.

quite active her of late. The citizens of Ensley have acquired the habit of im= mediately notifying the society when any cruelty to animals is observed and conse- quently much good is being accomplished. It is the intention of the society to stop cruelty to animals in a quiet manner, but if necessary arrests~ will be made and the offenders vigorously prosecuted. Three defendants plead guilty to the charge of cruelty to animals in Judge Donaldsons court this morning. On account of it being their first offense his honor let them off with the minimum fine. This afternoon a case of alleged cruelty was reported to the society and the officer went to the scene to make the arrest, but the driver Of the wagon fled, leav- ing the horses and wagon behind. The horses are at present in the city pound awaiting the owner.

DUPUY ANNOUNCES FOR ENSLEY MAYOR Ticket Lined Up As Sugg and

 Personal and General.
RECORD AT STEEL PLANT

Ensley July &-(Special)-James Du- ruy made public announcement of his candidacy for mayor of Ensley this morn- ing. His announcement completes the line up of two full tickets. MT. Dupuy at present represents the Third ward in the City Council. For about six years he held the position of assistant master mechanic at the steel plant, and is very popular among the forces there. About 30 days ago he resigned his position to become member of the real estate firm of Fon- vile, Dupuy & Burke. His friends claim that on account of his faithful services on the board he deserves to be promoted. His opponent, the present incumbent asks for an Endorsement of his administration by an election to another term. His friends claim that he has discharged his duty well, and that the people will not fail to show their appreciation. MT. Sugg previous to being elected mayor served one term as chief of police. Previous to that time. he held a responsible position with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road company The coming campaign promises to be warm one. The nomina- IlOnS were IHdue Dy iIdSS Iue6lllBS .cOll- posed of citizens regardless of political parties. One ticket is generally known as the sugg ticket and the other as the anti Sugg.
 The following is the lineup of the two tickets:
 For Mayor.
 D. F. Sugg J. M Dupuy.
 For Chairman of City Council. P. J. Rogers. P. J. Rogers.

 She burned in her lamp 'fluid"-a highly infammable oil which preceded the safer kerosene.

ing August. according TO the report Of
the bureau Of statistics Of the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor. which
is issued today.
There IS a heavier live stock move
ment. compared with the preceding

also is shown in the freight car stu
alton, practically all the associations
showing increased traffic. Grain also
shows heavier movements, and coal
and lumber are still other commodities
which indicate Improvement of condi-
tions.
Taking August as an index, it will
mean that a steady Improvement will
continue until conditions are as good
or even better than they were fifteen
months ago
