NEST unheard OF things. For instance
in the Senate, the other day. in dis
cussing President Taft's railroad bill,
he said: There is not one line in the
statute to give to the people feasoE-
able railroad rates. All that has been
accomplished is to afford me ans of
giving equal rates to the shippers. F"

Macdonough was a fighting member of
a fighting family and fighting race, but
he had a strong religious bent. His
father and two uncles fought in the revo-
lutionary war. His ancestors were of the
clan Donchada of Ireland. The supreme
moment of his life was approaching. A
battle which was of great consequence to
his country was about to begin. He
called his officers about him. and. kneel-
ing on the deck of the flagship, he said a
prayer.
When he rose from his knees it was to
go and sight one of the guns He meant
to fire the first shot. but Lieut.. Henley,
commanding the Eagle, was impatient
and wasted a broadside before the enemy
was within range. Macdonough waited
and when he fired on the Confiance it
was with effect. Then he signaled for
close action, and the whole American
squadron opened fire.
Commodore Downie planned almost as
carefully as did Macdonough, and he
handled the Confiance in beautiful fash
ion. Before closing with the Saratoga he
decided to give a brcadside to the Eagle
and then leav, the Linnet and Club to
finish her while he attended to the Sara

vessels would grapple with the strongest

week is proving itself a day OF Woe
to England.
Some one OF a studious turn looked up
the dates of the deaths and made the
discovery. The newspapers printed the
story, and before long Saturday had
been given as black reputation as ever
poor long-suffering Friday stood up
under.
According TO England's superstitious
ones, King William III was the
first to feel the evil influence Of the fatal
day. William III was at the
height of his power when the accident
which resulted in his death occurred.
On Friday, February 20 1902, as he was
preparing to take command in the war
the horse which the monarch was
riding, struck it's fore foot i'm a mole
hole, stumbled and fell. The king was
thrown violently. Attendants rushed to
his side and found he had sustained
badly fractured collar bone. A surgeon,
suffering also from internal injuries. The
monarch fingered a few days and died
Saturday, March s. His death came
at quite as unpropitious time as did
King Edwards. King Williams life
work was in fair way of being &C
complshed. His main object in life had
been to prevent King Louis OF France
domineering in Europe. while the mainte-
nance of the constitutional liberties OF
England had been with him only a Sec
ondary thought. That he succeeded IN
what he undertook against Louis was
owing primarily to the obstinacy of Louis,
but the bunder of his adversarIes would
have availed him little had he not him
self been possessed of invincible patience
and tact. That he was continental

in an address in New York, ''have a

nothing but that.
But too many men look on business
as a certain seaside shopkeeper did.
"A friend of mine visited this mans
shop to buy a flannel bathing suit. The
bathing suits were all little too large
for him.
They're marked unshrinkable.' my
friend said thoughtfully. This one here
might do if it would shrink. But"
"I'll ask father about it,. said the
young attendant.
And then, behind the partition, my
friend overheard this dialogue:
Father a gent wants to know IL our
unshrinkable bathing suits won't shrink
a little any way

Yes, father
Then of course il will shrink. Why
don't you try and have some head for
