WANTED SATISFACTION ONCE.

Ellen is a very obedient child, but
chafes at times under the restric-
tons imposed upon her tastes by the
dictates of plain living. Although
she is excessively fond of sweets she
has always been told that sweets are
not good for little girls teeth and
tummies, and as a rule she is con-
tent with her diet. Still, being a
very human little body, she does
break over now and then.

One of the finest things within
reach of the average individual is
calmness.
1t is also profitable.
Calmness is the twin sister of COM
fort. The man or woman who has
formed the habit of calmness is apt
to be comfortable when others are
uncomfortable.
Nor is it such difficult matter to
make this habit feel enough at home
to become a member of the family!
For calmness is about 90 per cent.
freedom from fear.
As a rule, the person who is not
calm is afraid of something or some
body. Afraid of self, perhaps. And
that is the most disconcerting sort
Of fear.
The way to be calm is to be calm.
When the winds of adversely or
disappointment or Encouragement
are seeking to rufile your mental sea,
keep remembering that there is no
such a thing as a comfortable pas
sage with the waves beating high.
Those who are dealing with you
will not overlook this, you may be
sure. No person is going to risk
NAL de mer when it can be avoided.
Keep calm!

veracity:
1--WE were 10 miles of Block island
in the dusk Of the day when we
came on school Of salt mackerel.
First thing we knew a swordfsh
butted in and there was q wild
scramble among the mackerel. The
swordfish filed up on the school and
then, like an overfed hog, took nap
on the surface of the water. My
engineer used to be a New Bedford
whaler and he carries a lot Of old
time tackle on the Nomad. He went
for'ard and heaved a harpoon into
the small of the swordhsh's back.
He had already secured an empty
beer keg-got that 'emptyT-to the

him, took it on the run, with the
beer key trailing along. He dived
and tackled and doubled on his
tracks, but the kig was ever on the
job. Finally his despair and ex-
haustion did the trick. He gave a
feeble flicker with his tail and we
hauled him abroad. He was six
feet two inches long and weighed
400 pounds, and, say-he was fine

PIRATES ATTACK WRECK
Stoker Carried OFF from the Asia
Total Loss S1,500,000.

Shanghai. April 25--According 10 pas
sengers who were rescued from the Pa
cific Mail steamship Asia, after the YES
sci was wrecked on Finger Rock on
Sunday. the officers had to use their re-
volvers to keep a fleet Of Chinese pirate
craft at bay while the passengers were
being transferred to the Chinese steamer
Shoa King. As soon as they had es-
capped the pirates attacked the crew. and
though the sailors fought hard, captured
and carried away stoker.
After the Asia was abandoned, the
pirates looted her. Her cargo consisted
chiefly of silk. valued at $5oO.OOO. The
total loss is estimated at S1,5pp"
Warships will probably be sent TO the
scene of the wreck.
The passengers say that when Captain
Gaukrover, OF the Asia, saw the rocks
through the foe. IL was too late TO save
his vessel He ordered full speed ahead
with the object Of driving the steamer
firmly on the rocks in order to prevent
her from sliding into deep water. There
was no panic. and the prompt action OF
the officers against the Chinese pirates
seemed to restore the confidence of those
on board

FORCING THE VETO BILL
Many Amendments Skipped and
Others Defeated Under Closure.

London. April 26-Yesterday's session
of the House Of Commons was again con-
tinued into the small hours Of the morn
ing. 1t was notable by reason of the
Prime Minister invoking the so-called
pages of amendments to the Parliament
bill, for the curtailment Of the powers Of
the House Of Lords. were skipped at the
Chairman's discretion.
An important amendment proposing
joint session of the two houses in cases
Of disa agreement. was opposed by Mr.
Asquith, on the ground that such a plan
would always give the House of Lords
the last word in legislation. and in his
opinion il would be impossible to devise
a scheme which would not place the rep
resentative body at the mercy of the
second chamber.
This amendment and another. propos-
ing instead of joint session a confer
ence of ten members from each house
were both rejected by large majori'ies.
After this, a number of amendments
selected by the chairman. for the most
part proposing various notifications in
the delaying powers of the House OF
Lords. were all rejected after the applica-
ton Of closure.
Earl Winterton Conservative member
for the Horsham Division Of Sussex, who
has on several occasions acted In
boisterous manner. again came into Sc
rious conflict with the Chair.
