HUMAN LIFE IS THE COST OF
NAVAL EFFICIENCY.

Within recent months there hare
been serious accidents to naval YES
sela belonging to several nations Al
though they have been due to q va
rsety al differing causes. they may be
divided. broadly speaking, into two
classes: due 70 errors in maneuver.
Ing resulting IN collisions. and those
due TO explosions IN the ammunition
stores.
Naval ofncers say that such acci-
dents are merely so many manifesto
tons or fate: that . sailor takes
chances when he goes 10 sea. and that
once IN a while he Is bound to have
chance against him.

But, anyhow, they make 4 specially
of sending out their ships In all kinds

ability, but we can't do IT without risk

in crossing the border from the United
States 10 note how completely every

like the desert-long stretches Of coun-

where there IS a town or where irri-

the horizon is so distant that the
mountains melt into the sky. and per-

clares that the Federation will wage

leave here Thursday. He declares
that most of the signers Of the res0-

The agent for a cemetery company

a certain lot. Presently the prospec-

enumeration of several prominent fam

'Is this lot near theirs?" she asked.
The agent admitted that it was quite
a distance off.

NO ALTERNATIVE.
The Jury Had to Teach the Pompous
Judge a Lesson.

A certain trial judge in a certain
state became SO unpopular that the
only way he could get verdict for the
state was to make his charge in favor
of the prisoner. When matters had
reached this stage a famous feud fight
er was arrested on charge of murder
and brought to trial. The case, which
was the judges first murder trial. at
tracted much attention, and the judge,
whose unpopularity arose from his
vanity and pomposity, greatly enjoyed
his role as umpire of the law. The
case was clear one against the de-
PENDANT, and his guilt was SO conclu-
sively proved that the judge even pre-
sumed to charge accordingly. The
jury retired, and when they filed back
into court it was noticed that they
avoided the prisoners eye and looked
unusually solemn.
Gentlemen" said the judge. waving
the clerk into silence. have you
reached a verdict"
I'VE have" said the foreman.
The judge opened a paper bag and
drew out a black cap. With an i'm
portant look around the courtroom he
placed this on his head and pulled it
down until it met his ears.
Prisoner" he said, "arise and look
at the jury. Jury, arise and look at the
prisoner. Gentlemen. what is your
verdictT
The jurymen, who had been whisper
ing to each other. nodded cheerfully
at the prisoner.
Not guilty" said the foreman.
"Of course" he said later, when ev-
cry one had shaken the innocent mans
hand, "he was guilty all right. and
that was going to be our verdict. but
when the little judge put that black
cap on his head and pulled it down
over his ears like that there was only
one thing for us to do, and we did it"
