They lived hard and died easily. Today they know that man stands highest on the pay roll who takes his work and It's danger most seriously. who also watches the man next to him for in this calling one mans error often means another's life.
 Even so the bridgeworker of today has not lost his romantic side. He Is still the cavalier of the workaday world.

The plumber laying pipes in the dark basement gets just as high wage and his work Is quite as im portant. But the ironworker gets the eyes of tho crowd and knows 1t. Cow boys of the skies they have been styled. and aptly so. They have many character istics in common with their brethren of the plains. They love a dare and a scam

The minister commented rather sharply on the prac- tice of wearing hats in church, and an- nounced the new programme for "a mil linery section.'
 This Is all right in it's way. but to elim- mate the hat Is to eliminate the wearer When 1t comes time for the separation of the sheep from the goats. the dominee will be charged up with the loss of souls and the dismembering of his church. be- cause where the women are there the men will be also, especially the dominees.

The American invasion of London mas begun in earnest and there is every pros pect of a record breaking summer. The Kings forethought in expressing the wish that the amusements of the public should not suffer because of the death of King Edward. and the equally thoughtful or der shortening the period of general mourning, have had an immediate effect on the departure of Americans for this country. Fully 60 per cent of the Ameri- can visitors in London at the present time are not multi-nillionaires. million aires, or even "millionaires In the max ing," the ma anager of one of the largest American residential hotels in London states They are merely ordinary hard working professional or business men or women It Is one of the most popular English misconceptions of the day that those people are millionaires.

It is also quite untrue that American vis- itors spend their money recklessly while in England The majority show quite as keen business acumen in obtaiing the most value from their pleasures as any other foreign visitors. and. indeed, make a shilling go quite as far as the average Londoner. Another misconcep- ton is that Americans in England de- mand American food al their hotels They do not. While away from home they ask for a complete change of food and cook ing. The only two exceptions are heavy meat breakfast and iced water at all meals''

bone taken out as soon as death oc-
Cured and placed in the child's leg

TURKISH ARMY AND NAVY
WILL BE REORGANIZED

Constantinople.- Pasha, the
new minister of war, intends to reor-
ganize thoroughly the Turkish army.
The navy also is to be put on a sound
fighting basis. German ideas will
prevail in the army and English in
the navy. The old days of graft,
when ammunition and supplies were
regarded as personal perquisites Of
commanding officers and the very
engines of warships were sold by
their officers. is to be ended. Shefket
Pasha, in an interview. said:
Surprise Is expressed that the
Turkish army has adopted German
methods and has employed German
officers. How could it be otherwise
when General Won Moltke came to
Turkey fully 80 years ago and himself
built the nucleus of the present Turk
ish army, which you may see from
this antedated the reorganization of
the present-day army Of France?
"And then, it seems to me that in
our navy English regulations are in
effect which were introduced long ago
by English officers. In fact, the com
mander in chief of our fleet is an
Engllshman and he plans shortly to
bring other officers from his native
land"
