MONEY AFLOAT AT SEA.
Drifting Copper Globes Whose Finders
 Will Receive Rewards.

Somewhere between latitude s.60 N. longitude p. 32 W, and a hundred miles or so east of the Ambrose channel, there are afioat on the broad Atlantic eight copper globes about the size Of footballs, any one of which is worth money to the lucky finder.
 These globes were set adrift last August by the Wide World Magazine in order that information might be ob tainaa regarding ocean currents. Four ered-there were originally twelve Of thenl-and the finders have each re- ceived s30 for their trouble
 The first globe to be retrieved was No. 1, which was set adrift two miles east of the Fastnet Rock on Aug. IA at noon. 1t travelled leisurely eastward for twenty miles and at 11.15 q. m. the following day was found in about a foot of water in & cove known locally SIS Traglahan, situated in the southern side of Toe Head, County Cork, Ire land, the finder being James Barry. a fisherman living at Toe Head.
 On Aug. 20 another globe, which had been set adrift two miles off the South Stack on Aug. 13, was found by Mfr. Samuel Hanna about thousand yards north of Workington pier, Cumberland, England. Between the time that 1t was thrown overheard and recovered this globe travelled just over a hundred miles in a direct line northeast at an average speed of about fifteen miles a day.
 On Sept globe No. 10 was found by Oliver l.. Loper, Montauk. L. l., three miles southwest of Montauk Point. This globe was set adrift at 3 D. m. on Aug 19. when the Campania was 193 miles east of the A nn,brose channel. It appears to have travelled roughly one hundred miles as the crow flies in q west t-northwester1y direction.
 Next No. was found by Walter s. Carroll of 723 Franklin street, Cape May City. N. J. near Cape May City. on Sept g This globe was set adrift on Aug. 19 at 9 D. m. ninety-five miles east of the Ambrose channel: the globe therefore drifted about two hundred miles in 2 southwesterly direction
 The reu1a ming eight are still undis- covered. Each globe Is numbered and the finder will receive st least s3o a globe on following the instructions contained in the cylinder For No '. which was cast overheard by Com nHan9er Warr when the Cam pania was in latitude 47 N. and longitude 34 90

COMMON LAW RIGHTS UNI
 CHANGED.

The decision of the sufyreme court of Kansas in the case of s-n injured work man tried under the common law is of more than ordinary interest just now to the people <h all parts of the coun- try. The <ecision is as follows:
 "Wh'Ne the factory workers envir- onmert. has been completely changed his Common law rights and remedies refaain unchanged. It has been well u6lderstood for long time that there is no iuristic or economic excuse for this state of affairs The liberty of ca pital to conduct it's own business in it's own way does not include the right to inflict the cruelties which invaria- bly, characterize industrial progress. The liberty of the wage earner to contract for extra pay for extra haz agd. and to seek other employment if ne does not like his masters methods, is myth or. as has been said, a heart less mockery.' The man and the ma chine at which he works should be recognized as substantially one piece of mechanism, and mishaps to either ought to be repaired, and charged to the cost Qf maintenance. The court cannot aJjolish the old rules and adopt others which shall suit existing facts anu ItihEuI eAlSllHS cAIls. udl Hiusl be- sfone by the legislature. But when tardy statutes are promulgated the courts should interpret them as favor ably as their terms will allow, and not proceed to shackle them with the discredited common-law manacles. Sometimes it is held that q,lite radical factory acts make no change in the law. or that their most remedial fea tures must be strictly construed be- cause they penalize the factory owner. and 1t is usually taken for granted that & legislature could not think of permitting a negligent factory worker to recover. although the farmer may collect damages from a railroad com psny for killing the COW or mule which he neRli gently permits to run at large"
 The justice of liability laws is en- dorsed in high places at present, and the day is not far distant when the laws vhich are unjust to labor will be swept from the statutes

Water Proofino Footwear.

A writer in tine Scientific American recommends the following for render ing footw ear waterproof. Heat in an iron vessel either fish oil or castor oil, or tallow, to about 250 edgrees Fah- renaleit, then cut into small pieces vuI- canized or raw India rubber, about one-fffth the weight of the oil, and add gradually. stirring with a wooden spa tula. until the rubber is completely dissolved in the oil; to give it color, add a small amount of printers ink. Pour into a suitable vessel and let cool: one or two applications of this is sufficient to thoroughly water proof a pair of boots or shoes for a season. Boots cor shoes dressed with this will take common shoe backing with great facility The above is not in furious to the leather, will keep out moisture and leave the material soft and pliabIe

First Socialist Congressman.

The career of no congressman out side Of Connecticut will be followed mora closely by the citizens of Ansonia than will that Of Victor L. Berger, the first socialist to be thus honored Az is well known here, he has made his way to the front against great odds, and this country has few better ex- amples of what a man can accomplish who has deep seated convictions and will intelligently concentrate his ener- gies along the line Df his beliefs. While great many differ with MT. Berger in his political policies, few can fail to admire his courage and determination and likewise the enthusiasm with which he has wo<lked to accomplish definite ends. He slas always been a worker, and it may be put down a:s a surety that he will not be a drone in congress.-Ansonia Sentinel.

THE OTHER SIDE.

There are several sides to the meat question and the wholesalers side and the peoples side are pretty fully ex- plotted in the newspapers, but the re- taller has small opportunity to tell his tale of woe. This is what one retailer has to say for his side of high prices
 We have to pay the wholesale deal CT when we get our meat or within three or four days thereafter. but our customers hold LIS up for weeks and some of them never pay. The whole ssler is protected all right. but where do we get off in this deal?"
 This is short and sweet, but it re- vesls d situa ton that is far from in- viting. Between the squeezes it is no easy matter to tell where the retail butcher does get off.

WHAT DOES THIS SHOW?

The Rutland, Vt, News says: The operations of the doe killing law in Vermont are very apparent. The num- Der of deer-bucks, does and lawns in arms-killed last week was about half of the number slaughtered in 1909. And that with the woods absolutely full of hunters, too"
 It shows that the deer are either getting more wary to the designs of men or that the slaughter of the first year has not been made good and that the open season simply means that Vermont will be as free from wild deer in a few years as she was when sine encouraged their multiplication by giving them protection. Growing tame deer in these states and then slaugh- tering them as easily as if they were domestic cattle does not give a sporty cast to the work

FROM THE SUNNY SOUTH LAND.

Among the many gifts that Nature has Iavished on the South none is more val uable than her gift of the cotton plant. Tn the soil, warmth and sunshine of the South, the cotton plant attains its high est perfection. Formerly, only the white, downy lint of the cotton boil was pre- served, but today, from the kernel of the cotton seed is pressed an oil which, when refined, compares favorably with the purest olive oil. From the choicest of this oil of the cotton seed is made a cooking fat called Cottolene. In effl- ciency, purity and wholesomeness, Cot tolene far excels the fat of the hog, and it has we'll been named, Natures gift from the Sunny South."

The one really great Ameri- can exercise, amusement or diversion is technically known as "kic1ing" For three hundred and sixty four days in the year everything under the sun comes in for criticism. The one day when there is relief and cessation is on Thanksgiving. That is sufficient proof that the day is needed. There are many things to be thankful for and it is worth while to take an inventory of them at least once a year. If we can't have turkey we can dine sumptu- ously on codfish and the Gloucester herrnen need the money a lot more than the automobile growing turkey Press.

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
GETTING HIM PLACED

! erased recipes for wedding cake. lists of items needed for the bridegroons ! trousseau and similar bits of informa-. l ton as indifferently as if they had been after leaving his class, the boys ac- knoweledged to each other that the bashful- looking teacher had them guessing. They had not yet succeeded in getting him placed.
 Friday was assembly day the time when the schoo, gathers together in the big assembly hall. That afternoon when the room was filled and the nec essary business had been transacted. the principal, who had never outgrown jokes himself, arose and gravely an- nounced:
 T have been asked to put the fol- lowing conundrum: Where was MT. Aiken at fourth hour?" Instantly a shrill voice from the back of the room gave the prear ranged answer. "He-was-engagedt There followed a general shout of "Speechi Speech, Mr Aiken, Speech!"
 The bashfullooking teacher was sit ting with the faculty and everybody in the row pitied him. Even the prin- in the pause that ensued before young
 Aiken arose and stepped to the front of the platform.
 'I can't make speech he began,

It seems ha had started at 8 late hour to leave her home, and had got as far as the gate when she opened the door and called
 after him: Don't you want to take
 your hat?'"
 ,, A howl of delight greeted this story and the principal ceased to be con- sceince stricken.
 "One more thing young Aiken went l on, when they gave him a chance To-day I found this note on my desk:
 "'Mr. Aiken, please tell us how you did it. We need help

Aiken was the new teachers name. He was young: he was unmarried; he looked baShful. It was whispered among the high school pupils that he had love affair on hand
 One morning during class somebody iscov that his fraternity pin was missing. He had worn it the day be- fore. for q vigilant committee had been watching this point; So a note was passed around the room calling attention to the convincing evidence that the new teacher was now en- gagged.
 This interesting theory was strength ened by little incident that occurred two hours later. Another teaeher-a lxind-hearted woman-met Aiken walk ing down the hall, with dazed look on his face.
 Have you lost someta1ting?" she asked him.
 My geometry class" he answered.
 T thought you had that at fourth hour. It's the middle of the fifth hour, now"
 Young Aiken pulled out his watch 50 it fs'' he admitted frankly. T was in the chemistry laboratory and must have missed my hearing bell. Now I've lost an hour
 The ldnd-hearted teacher passed on wondering She had not heard. then. about the missing fraternity pin. but before noon the news had spread through the building and everybody was putting two and two together and smiling broadly.
 Young Aiken came back to room q after luncheon. to find the blackboard covered with questions:
 What color is her hair?'
 Her name, please?"
 Whats the date of the wedding 2"
 No wonder he didn't hear the belll Only one kind of bells for him from now on"
 Say. look at his smilet"
 Standing behisld his desk the new tea cher began solemn1y n1urnluTing these inscriptions aloud, one after an- other as if he were alone in the room. When he came to the last one, at the farthest corner of the board. he puckered his brow and turned abruptly to the most innocent-looking boy in the room.
 Chester" he demanded, what is that word. I can't make it outi Your writing is wretched"
 A litter went around the room. He had hit on the culprit The boys i'm : mediately began to wonder whether the new teacher was really the easy mark they had taken him for It might even be that he had left off that fra ternity pin just to put one over them They must lie low and investiga te further.
 Later in the day they fonnd out that young Aiken had been to the office that morning presumably to explain to the principal about missing his ge- onetry class. for the principal had followed him into the hall, laughing heartily, and saying in loud voice: '*We'll overlook it this time, Aiken, since you got the girl!'
 That settled the question.
 For two days thereafter the boys continued to decorate the new teach CTS blackboard, while he remained ap- parently unconscious of the attention. Time after time during recitatfons he
