No spaqhsttI In Jim Flynn.

Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman and
shatterer of white mans hopes" is
not an Italian. as has been generally
understood, but an American born Of
Irish and German parents. The mix
up came about through his stepfather
being an Italian, his name being
Chiariglion. Jim wishes to have the
mistake corrected and states that his
mother gave out the name OF Chiarig-
lion when his record was first given
to the public, and It has stuck ever
since. Els stepbrother is part Italian.
Jim went to Milwaukee after his Kan
sas City victory. and the first thing
he heard after emerging from the
Schlitz hotel upon being introduced to
a young man was, "why. you don't
look like an italian" mo. I am not
an Italian" said Jim. "but from good
old Irish and German stock"

COAST LINE HEROES.

Splendid Work Done BY tho Federal
Life Saving Service.
The federal life saving service. which
has entered upon its fortieth year. has
written one of the most glorious chap
tiers In American history. says the
Brooklyn Standard Union. Not a
month passes without an act or hero
ism by some one or some party of the
force that patrols the coasts and the
great lakes. 1t is one continuous story
Of hard and dangerous work, the
drearincss OF the detailed account be-
ing frequently broken by instances OF
rare courage and sacrifice.
But measured by a more exacting
rule to determine its value the life
saving service Is found 10 have earned
rich dividends for the public which
supports It In the forty years $1,000
distressed ships. carrying 147,000 per-
sons, have been aided by the corps.
The property risks on these occasions
aggregate $235, 100000. In the four
decades the probable total cost OF tho
service has been less than 100000, 900,
which makes 1t plain that the service
has much more than paid its way.
What has been saved In property Is
nothing to be compared with the saw
ing of human life. 1t Is this that the
government Is primarily interested in.
and It is in this particular. of course,
that the richest returns have been
made II there were some process by
which the value of human life could
be translated into dollars and cents 1t
would be made evident that the serv-
fee has saved the world billions of dol
lars during the past forty years. Every
one at all acquainted with the record
of United States life saving realizes
that this small but immensely impor-
tant branch of the government has
had distinguished career and merits

that ireland, according to these fig-
