Daring Rescue at SEQ.

The 55 passengers on the Atlantic
Transport liner Minnewaska witnessed
the thrilling rescue of seaman. He
was William J. Browning, 10 years old.
of Whitstable, Kent, where the famous
English oyster grows.
While the passengers were taking
afternoon tea in the lounge on the up
per promenade deck last week there
was a series of shrieks on the ships
siren. The liner began to turn on her
starboard helm and presently every
one was pointing to a man bobbing on
the rollers astern. Chief Officer j. G.
Hutchinson rushed for the emergency
Ifeboat No. 2, beside which half
dozen able seamen stood waiting.
It was Able Seaman Chadwick who
had rushed up the bridge ladder and
informed Capt. Thomas F. Gates and
Second Officer Simmons that Browning
had fallen overheard. Chadwick had
hurled life belt after Browning. An
other life buoy was thrown from the
bridge as the ship swung around.
There was confused sea on, with a
heavy westerly swell. At times rollers
hid the struggling sailor from view.
/ Browning struck the water feet first,
after falling S. feet. As he came up
he noticed the life buoy Chadwick had
thrown. Then he felt the suction OF
the ships wave and he knew he would
be sucked toward the vessel and chop
| ped to. pieces by the propellers unless
he swan away.
The lad kicked off one of his boots
He could see Chief Officer Hutchinson
and the men standing by the emery
ency boat as the ship swung around
This gave him hope.
Browning struck out fo- the life
buoy, which was so feet away. AS he
approached. it rollers carried the life
ring farther away eluding his grasp
He struggled on and seized it at last.
''I was nearly all in when reached
! It," said the boy afterward. Once in
| the ring, he kicked off the other boot
and. then took it 'cool and easy" con-
tinuing to swim enough to- keep him.
self comfortable.
| After the steamer, which had beer
going at a 15-knot pace had swung
around to within 800 yards of the
sailor, Chief Officer Hutchisons boat
was cut away. The swefls rose so high
the boat could not be seen in the val

the boat the passengers cheered. Wher

The. closing season of the public
SCHOOLS is now at hand and hundreds
or boys and girls are being turned. out
20 pass the summer vacation at some
userul employment or idleness and
ioaing. But the ones who will make
the greatest success are those who will
md some occupation during the sum-
mer months. If the boy or girl does
not acquire the habit of work in early
life, the chances are they will not do
so later. Part of the fault lies with the
parents who permit their boys and
girls to spend their valuable time in
fdleness The days of serving appren-
tlcesh1ps may have had their hard
ships, but that was better, both for the
individual and for society, than spend
ing the time in idleness, which is the
mother of crime. And how about the
graduates? About nine-tenths of them
imagine that with the closing of COM
mencement exercises they are equip
ped to take up the most important
business positions or professions and
they waste their time looking for

bottom and working themselves up.

KEEP A SCRAP BOOK.
Every farmer should be interested in
keeping a scrap book. 1t is not hard
to do so. Have the book indexed with
places for poultry, stock and general
farm subjects. When you find some
thing that you think valuable, cut It
out and paste it in its proper place.
There is no need of having magazines
and newspapers accumulate, if you
don't want them to, if you just cut out
the articles you want and file them in
your scrap book. When the farmer is
too busy with his work, his wife or
daughters can see that the Interesting
things are pasted. Then; too, If the
farmer or his children write on agri-
cultural subjects or are correspondents
for papers, the scrap book will be a
convenient place to keep these artic-
