emergency. The whole German business
system is constructed along military lines.
and German commerce is always under
martial law.
And this does not mean that German
business men lack adaptability. They
have instituted a German system for use
in domestic commerce. but they have
carefully avoided the error OF their Brit
ish and American cousins. who have IN
sisted upon enforcing the same business
system al home and abroad. When the
German business man reaches into for

lates a systematic campaign based upon
the commercial practices of that country.
England had a monopoly OF the Indian
and Chinese trade for decades, but always
it insisted upon doing business in the
English language. according 10 English

German trade emisaries always are
equipped with a knowledge of the Eng

chief competitors on their own ground
and they also learn Chinese In CHINA,
Spanish in South America. Arabic In Ara

country. The rapid growth OF German
foreign trade is sufficient proof that the
German way OF doing business according
to a system has its advantages over the
Anglo Saxon fashion of doing business
according 10 a custom.

some very pretty and smart-looking bon

draped softly over the crown, and coronet
trimmed with a bunch of dainty white
flowers from which rose a black aigrette.
The strings were Of good ribbon. Another
was of white Yedda braid. covered with

Must Finish tn. Game.

In a small country town there
once lived a couple of young fellows
who had gone into partnership in a
BARRIERS business, and in order to
pass the time one particularly dull
afternoon Tom proposed to Dick
that they indulge in quiet game
of <'nap." The quiet game went on
hour after hour, and when the
shades Of night had fallen for some
time neither Of them noticed that
customer had entered. He sur
ycyed them in silent contempt for
some few minutes.
''sorry if interrupt" he said,
acidly. at last, "but Pm in hurry.

Why savases Turn In Their Toes.

In the first place, the foot natn-
rally takes that position whcn ii has
never been confined by boots or the
ankle distorted by high heels. Con
venicncc is also Oil the side of the
natural position Of the foot in the
case Of the savage. for he has to do
much walking through long grass
and rn9rr"ro"th in forests. Con-
scqucntly his progress would be
much impcdcd il he turned his toes
out to catch these obstacles instead
of brushing them aside and out
ward, as he now does. Lastly, the
savage uses his foot much more as
a help to his hands than we do, and
it is obvious that in doing this he
must turn his toes in.

MEN OF ACTION.
The Story Of PeriIous Rescue Exps {.
diton In Alaska.

The Story Of a PeriIous Reseue Exps.
dition In Alaska.
In the rush for Alaskan gold men
did not forget to be ready to help
the unfortunate. The author of
''Trailing and Camping In Alaska"
Mr.. A. NJ. Powell, narrates an Incl
dent that occurred at Valdes. The
place was ovcrcrowded with pros
pcctors and miners, food was scarce,
and there was good deal Of sick
ness. Many had come over the
glacier, and others had lost their
lives in the attempt.
A dog team galloped up and
stopped in front Of the only pre-
tense Of hotel at Valdes. The
night was dark, as the northern
winter nights always are when the
moon is not shining. The dogs i'm
mediatcly lay down, almost ex-
hausted from their long trip, and
the two mon were soon surrounded
by inquiring friends. One Of the
two said:
'What do you think, fellows?
Just this side Of Sawmil camp we
passed a woman who was pulling
a sled on which was her sick hus-
band. We demonstrated against the
undertaking of crossing the glacier,
but she replied that they might as
we'll die up there as anywhere else,
as it meant certain death to stop.
Our dogs could only pull our outfit,
and there wasn't grub enough for
all, so We were compelled to leave
them. They will be at the last tim
Der tonight, and if somebody does
not go to their rescue they will be
dead by this time tomorrow"
A man stepped out from the
crowd and said:
'I'll go for one. Now, who else
has good dog team to splice in
with mine"
''I'm your huckleberry," an
nounced another.
1t was o'clock in the morning
before they had made their sclec-
ton Of dogs and were ready to start
on that hazardous trip.
''Thcre goes the best dog team
in Alaska and driven by the best
two mon on earth" exclaimed
man as they turned a corner and
were gone.
The trail was easily followed, and
soon the nine miles of level bench
were passed. The speed slackcncd
only when they were ascending the
summit, which they reached by IL
that morning.
Down, down the steep descent
they plunged, and by l o'clock were
off the glacier and skipping over
level ground. The poor woman
had pulled the sled until she was
exhausted and had sat down beside
her husband. She was hidden to
seat herself comfortably, while they
fastened the two sleds together.
Soon they were bounding away at
such rapid rate of speed that the
woman wept for JOY. When they
recrossed the summit the whole
range was smoking" and the wind
was sending the fine snow along the
crust.
EETwenty miles to town, and it
can never catch us" said the driver.
Townsmen anxiously waited and
watched the trail. As the team
rushed up they were surrounded by
eager, helping hands. They were
saved by men not of good inten-
lions only, but by men of instant
action.

While talking to William Okaes,
a fellow employe, Frank A. Rey-

yards, suddenly disappeared in a
cave-in of earth and despite efforts
of railroad employees, two companies
of the fire department and the life
saving crew, was carried into the
Ohio and drowned.
Reynolds and Oakes, the former
with his oil can in hand, we're stand
ing in the yards at Preston and Main
when the cave-in occurred. Reynolds
was pfecipitated into one of the
large sewers that empties in the
Ohio, scarcely two blocks away.
Oakes, who narrowly. escaped, ran
quickly and gave the alarm, return
ing in short time with long
piece of hose.
This he threw into the sewer, and
although he could not see Reynolds,
vigorous tugging on the hose not
flied the rescurers that the man was
still alive. The men above the
ground were preparing for. a hearty
pull, when there was a further cave
in followed by muffled cry from Rey-
nolds. A detachment OF the fire de-
partment arrived on the scene, bat

The life saving crew made a rush

and after watching the sewer pour

Despite the crumbling of the
earth, which increased the opening
to 20 feet in width, the fire depart

their efforts and were rewarded
about noon by finding the dead body
of the other. It was taken out at
the cave-in. Many trains Of the Big
