The Choice must be Made

Life is made up of choices. The
young man who decides that the
first essential in the successful
career liz to make a practice of get
ting drunk by the time he is 20,
will be out of the running at 80
He will be working for another
His choice was wrong.
His companion who decided that
one could be a good fellow without
defending to low practices will be
an employer at 40, other things
being equal.
The poolroom patron of 20 will
not know much of the history of
his country at 30, He will be in
the ranks of those who will COM
plain that a fellow does not get
fair chance in this world. His
companion who makes the choice
of evenings we'll spent at 20 will
not be looking for a job at 40. He
will make the job for himself.
Nothing in this, you say. Let
no young man deceive himself on
this point. The world is made
up OF leaders who as boys made
right choices.
Living is serious business. There
are prizes to gain, but they are not
to be had for the asking. Read the
biography of man who is pro.
NOTED to great position at As or
so. In every instance, you will
find that he may have remained
apparently in a stationary position
for fifteen years of his life. But
you will find also that he worked
to an end during those fifteen years.
He chose to be industrious. And

goes unrewarded?

heard of. In this connection the
Walls Walla Statesman is moved
to remark: "This brave Oklahoma
judge, who dares to apply the rules
Of common sense in interpreting
the law, deserves the commends-
tons of a long suffering people.
All praise to him and may his tribe
increase until his kind fill the posts
of the judiciary all over the coun-
try"
Speaking of the wonderful pro-
gress that has been made in the
mechanical arts and sciences and
the various realms Of intellectual
thought, another contemporary was
moved few days ago to use this
language: "But the machinery of
Justice keeps on creaking. 1t is a
fearful and wonderful specimen Of
the unique. 1t moves by jerks, and
part of the time it jerks backward.
The litigant finds that it is choked
by technicality and that he has
to make new start with his case.
Because of the well authenticated
stories that have been told of its
operations and because of actual
experiences with them there are
many men who would rather SUBJ
NIT to injustice than take their
chances with such continuance.
"Why then do not more members
of the bar turn inventors? Why do
they not act like the experts in 9TH
er lines of human endeavor and
strive to improve the machinery
Is it because they feel that there is
profit in inaction rather than in &C.
ton? Or is it because they are SC
much the slaves of tradition that
they bow to it without question
Certainly opportunity beckons them
and there will be very great re-
ward in honor and reputation fol
those who help to make the ma
chinery better. "-Ex.

RESCUE WORK AT SEA.
Quick Time In. Launching and Man
ninq the Bio Lifeboats.


ming the Big Lifeboats.
Aboard an ocean liner the other day
several officers were talking about the
length Of time required to launch and
man one of the large lifeboats that
swing from davits sixty feet above the
sea. 1t was agreed that boat can be
lowered with its crew and get away
from the ship in two minutes in any
thing like decent weather.
An instance was related where a
man had fallen from the liner while
she was speeding IA knots. The alarm
was sounded, boat lowered and the
swimmer rescued after considerable
row back over the course to where he
was fioundering about. The crew had
the rescued Individual back to the ship
with the boat in its chocks in just sew
enteen minutes, which is regarded a
most creditable performance. There
was no ice on the rope falls to hamper
the work and everything worked
smoothly or the boat would have been
much longer on its mission.
A steamship of 10000 tons when go
ing at full speed has momentum suffi-
Client to carry her at least two miles
after the engines are stopped. provid-
Ing the sea is fairly quiet. Crews OF
lifeboats frequently have hard work
cut out for them while going to a res
cue before the Roadway OF their vessel
has been stopped.-Boston Herald

Common Sense Justice.

Oklahoma has a Judge, more's the
pity we have not more of his kind
on the bench. He is not weighted
down with tradition and technical
ity. II the light can spread our ju-
dicial procedure may eventually be
lifted out of the mazes of uncertain
ty which now surround it. The
case before the Oklahoma Judge
was ono in which the defendant had
been convicted of larceny in the
lower court, and in denying a re-
hearing OF the appeal he held:
when defendant is clearly prov
en- to Re guilty this court will not
reverse conviction upon any tech
nicslity or exception which does
not affect the substantial rights of
the defendant"
This is common sense and just
ice. 1t is not a new theory, but in
American practice it is seldom

THE SPEEDING BULLET.
II Waves tho Air as a Moving Ship
Does the Water.


Does the Water.
Marked changes occur in a bullet
fred from a gun after 1t has been acted
upon by the force of the explosion In
the barrel Its surface has become
clean, bright and highly polished by
the removal of the superficial layers
Of the sheath, and its temperature has
been raised both by the friction against
the barrel and by the enkindled gases.
Because of this rise in TEN 4rature it
il thoroughly sterilized and totally des-
titute Of bacteria. Standing behind a
twelve inch gun one can easily follow
the fight Of the projectile with the
naked eye.
Under favorable circumstances and
with the aid Of a telescope it is posi-
BILE to catch a glimpse of even the
small bore bullet as it flashes through
the air. Photographs, or raiser, shad-
owgraphs, of the 81 inch bullet
travelling with a speed of over 1000
feet a second show the cap of con-
densed gas, about one-tenth of an inch
thick, which clothes the nose Of a pro-
jectile when it is in rapid motion
through gaseous medium.
Minute rotating spherules Of gas
showing motion remain behind and
map out the path Of the bullet. These
lines and eddies recall forcibly the
bow and stern waves made by a ship
in motion and the numerous little
whirlpools that may be seen in its
wake.-Chicago News.
