Many amusing stories are told OF
ways in which pOstoffice officials, in
cltned TO keep too vigorously to the
letter OF their regulations, have been
thwarted. On one occasion a man
asked for 240 penny stamps and ten.
dered payment In copper. The official
declined TO receive 1t. whereupon the
man began buying and paying for one
stamp at a time. Before be had got q

one Sunday went into a postofice that

he could not give it to her if he
felt disposed.
DR.. C.. c. Bohannon and Rev. A. J.
Wilder, OF Daytona, took the stand
as witnesses for Mrs. Scoville. DR..
Bohannon testified that he went to
DeLand with Mrs. Scoville when she
demanded the property of Judge Ste-
wart. He also testified that Miss
Kellogg said to him before she died
that she wanted Mrs. Scoville to
have all the property covered by the
trust deed Immediately upon her
death. Rev. A. J. Wilder testified
substantially to the same statement
made to him by Miss Kellogg, adding
that she was afraid Mrs. Scoville
would have trouble about the proper
ty.
The taking Of the testimony was
then continued until eleven o'clock
this morning to enable the respon-
dent to get witnesses from this vicin-
ity.
Today Judge Stewart occupied the
witness stand. While his answer set
up a previous trust deed which pro-
vided that he was to hold the prop
erty in trust during the life time of
Mrs. eScoville. He has admitted
this morning that the last trust deed
is the proper one and that his reason
for holding the property is merely to
protect himself from liability in case
of contest by the heirs.
The petitioner is endeavoring to
show that he is mismanaging the es-
tate and that it should be turned over
to her as cO-executor. This after

new SEA LORD OF BRITAIN
ASSUMES HIS PLACE TODAY.
ADMIRAL SIR ARTHUR KNYvET
WILSON ABLEST NAVAL Ex-
PERT IN THE BRITISH NAVY.

LONDON, Jan. 25-Pursuant to the
official announcement made at the be
ginning of the year, Sir John Fisher,
J or Lord Thetford, as he has become
since his elevation to the peerage,
today retired from the office OF
First Sea Lord of the British Navy.
He is succeeded by Admiral Sir Ar
thur Knyvet Wilson, who has the rep
utation Of being the ablest expert on
gunnery, strategy and tactics in the
British Navy.
The new First Sea Lord has had
long and distinguished career. Like
his predecessor he was graduated in
the torpedo school, and he is the in
ventor of several appliances connect
ed with the use of tOrpedOes. In the
course of his long career he has a.
chieved about all the honors and dec
OratiOns that can be hoped for by
British naval officer. Besides having
the Victoria cross, a decoration Civ
en- usually for signal bravery, in bat
tie, he is grand Commander of the
Victorian Order. He got his c. B.
in 1897 and was made a knight Com
mander of the Bath five years later
and Grand Commander in 1906.
Sir Arthur was born in 1912 and
gained his first experience as a figh-
ter in the Crimean War, when he
served off Sabastopol as a twelve
year-Old midshipman. He took part
in the storming of the Taku forts
in China and served in the Egyptian
campaign of 1882 and in the Sudan
Of 1884.
In the battle of Ell Teb on the Red
Sea coast Sir Arthur, then
captain, won the Victoria Cross. 1t
was at a critical moment when cor
ner Of the British square had been
torn asunder by furious onslaught of
the fanatical Dervishes and through
the gap the way seemed open for
|hSA " pun III anu turn the OdIIlS
into absolute route. Wilson sprang
into the breach and single handed
as he was, lay about him with his
sword and absolutely held the enemy
in check until some of the soldiers
rushed to his assistance.
The list of Sir Arthur's successive J.
offices is long. He became captain

admiral in 1901, was aid de camp to

Heart toHeart
Talks.
HIREl TIREt FIREl
By EDWIN A..NYE.

Rev. George Houghton, an eastern
Sociologist. says:
american men and women today
hire their wives and husbands as they
hire their carriages and horses.
Therefore" be says, when they
are not suited they proceed to hire diff
ferent ones" 1t is very simple. The
motto Of the modern lasSie is:
Hire! Tire! Fire!
The lassies first hire their mates. ac-
cording to Mr.. Houghton. and when
they tire Of them they fire them.
1t all depends.
In certain circles of American life
the statement may be true. In those
circles an heiress is often put on the
auction block and sold to the highest
bidder. Some are bartered outright
for foreign title.
There being no ethics in such a bill
Of sale. the buyer should be privileged
to sell his property again when be
tires Of it. There is no moral obIiga-
ton in the transfer.
But
If this sociOlogist pretends to say
that outside a small set in high life
and a set in low life these things are
so be does not know what he is talk
ing about.
Millions Of happy homes disprove it.
The fact Of the matter is this: A d.
vOrce is news" The fact that tens
Of thousands are living happily togeth-
er is not news.
We read Of the divorces. We do not
read Of the Contented homes.
Marriage in America is held as q
sacred obligation. Millions regard 1t
as holy sacrament. The home is the
place Of mutual sacrifice and affection.
That Is the rule. The hire-tire-tire
sort are the exceptions.
There is too much Of this talk about
the failure OF marriage. 1t is untrue
to begin with. 1t creates a false i'm
preston and misleads many people.
Young man
Young woman
Give scant attention to those pessi-
mists who are forever decrying mod
ern marriage, the sort that go about
saying: "Oh, l know! i have seen.
You don't catch me on the hook Of
matrimony."
They do not know, They have not
seen. They know only a few isolated
cases. They have not seen the real
thing. And they are probably of the
sort whom no one would want to catch
on the hook Of matrimony.
Americans do not hire their wives
and husbands. They do not tire Of |
them nor fire them.
