nation is thus "stumped" by graft it
is in very poor way.
Let US abolish graft and then we can
talk about inspectorates without a
thought of graft In any event, would
it not be of more advantage to any
company to conform with the require
ments eXacted by an inspector than to
run risk of coming to grief?
Regular and competent inspection be-
fore a ship sails probably would make
unnecessary many Investigations Of the
same nature as that which viii be held
with regard to the st. Croix.
A st. Croix incident that never
should have occurred-that should have
been practically impossible-was the
spilling Of the passengers in lifeboat
No. ., which was the result of the
tackle giving way The boat fell from
the davits prematurely, precipitating
sixteen passengers into the sea.
Under a reliable. trustworthy, honest,
SHIPSHAPE system of inspection
every vessel before it leaves port
should be compelled to swing out
board every Hfeboat and lower 1t from
its davits.
The operation of lowering the boats
should be guarded by the most i'm
proved and reliable tackle that can be
obtained
A law should be passed COMPEL
LING steamship companies to adopt
the latest and most improved tackle
for lowering lifeboats. Why COMPUL-
SION should be necessary we do not
know, but unhappily there's no blink
ing the fact that it is necessary in
many cases.
If this system of careful regulation
of a ships safety appliances were
adopted and enforced there would be
fewer accidents when boats were called
away from burning or sinking ships
If all men who have the care of hu-
man lives were to allow that care to
burden their consciences there would
be a very marked improvement, caused
by the substitution of carefulness and
responsibility for carelessness and ire
sponsibility.

RECOMPENSE

BY oDELL SHEPARD
ENRON hour to hour, from day to day,
I'll | strOve, with heart and brain,
NlAnd hourly made some little way
Ssh At cost of bitter pain.
But in the end, when had thought
The fair reward to see
For all the toll with which | wrought,
Blank failure stared at me!
Yet, in a world where cheap success
SO easily is won,
How can | ever value less
To have failed and gone on?
This is the boon of losing fight
And bootless toll and strife;
That still the ideal grows more bright
Unto the end of life
That still the vision grows more fair
Until all strife is done
Oh fond hope that somehow, somewhere
That far goal may be won!

Bodies Exhumed.

Two bodies, buried in the Presby-

Saturday and shipped to Hannibal
for reinterrment. They we're chill
dren of John C. and Jane Easton,
and one was buried in February
1912 and the other in July, 1872
sixty-seven years ago.
To say that the bodies were ex-
humed is incorrect, for nothing re-
manned of the bodies; all that was
found in the grave was a few de-
cayed pieces of the walnut collins
and some rusty handmade nails.
These were placed in a box and
are now buried fin a Hannibal GEM

The Fourteen Errors of Life.

The fourteen mistakes of life
Judge Rentoul told the BartholO-
NEW Club are:
To attempt to set up our own
standard of right and wrong and
expect everybody to conform to it.
To try and measure the enjoy
ment of others by our own.
To expect uniformity of opinion
in this world.
To look for judgment and expert
ence in youth.
To endeavor to mold all DISPOSE
tons alike.
Not to yield in unimportant
trifeS.
To look for perfection in our own
actions.
To worry ourselves and others
about what cannot be remedied.
Not to alleviate, if we can, all
that needs alienation.
Not to make allowances for the
weakness of others.
To consider anything impossible
that we can not ourselves perform.
To believe only what our finite
hands can grasp.
To live as if the moment; the
time, the day were so important
that it would last forver.
To estimate people by some out
side quality, for it is within which
makes the man.-London Evening
Standard.

Some Peculiar Citizens.

Up to date there have been nine
hundred and fifty hunters licenses
issued in Marion county. When a
hunter gets license a duplicate of
his description is retained by the
County Clerk. A glance over these
duplicates indicates that we have
some wonderfully made citizens in
this commonwealth. One Emerson
man is credited with having red
eyes and blue hair. A West Quin
cyite with blue hair and auburn
eyes really ought to belong to a
sideshow. A Warren hunter thirty
seven feet high and six years will
do for a Cardiff giant when hegrows
up. A Union man has bald eyes
and hazel hair. A freak from Mil
Ter is recorded as having a blue
heard and iron gray eyes. Tom
Gallaher is described as a StraWber-
ry blonde, eighty-three years old.
Possibly in the rush of business
County Clerk Arnold or Deputy
Clerk Frank Lane have got ages
mixed with height and color of
hair and boards confused with the
color of eyes, but when questioned
as to this Tom says see Frank and
Frank says see Tom. So there you
are. The oldest hunter licensed So
far is Uncle Madison Payne, of
Warren. His age is correctly re-
corded as eiehty-two. Palmyra

Laborer and His Hire.

The Duke of Norfolk was once
travelling from London to Rome. At
each station he would get out to
stretch his legs, and on several of
these occasions passengers happen
ed to stop him and ask questions,
which the Duke courteously au-
sWered.
When Rome was reached tired
old lady who had noticed this, but
who didn't know his Grace of Nor
folk from Keir Hardie or Jack
Burns, caught him by his ducal
sleeve and said:
Now, my good man, I've noticed
you at all the stations loafine
about. Just pick up these bag;
and rugs and get me cab"
The Duke mildly shouldered the
bags and rugs. and after the ole
lady had got safely in her cab witt
them, she gave him sixpence. HI
bowed and said;
Thank you, madam, shall neveI
