First Aid.

Speaking of the necessity for wide spread education fin first aid to the injured, the St. Louis Times sayss
 Perhaps it will not be taken emsss if we call attention to the obvious fact that nine-tentls of all the trouble in the world is dues to ignorance of cer- tain simple things. It might even be said safely that all mishaps of what ever fundamental, physical and-spfrft- ual-are due to a want of experience and training. Accidents of a thou sand varieties, from drowning to the taking of dose from the wrong bot tie, are in a majority of cases fatal simply because there was not present some one who knew what to do. In- juries which almost tear the body to pieces are curable if the man of train ing and experience is at hand The simplest injuries often prove fatal when they are not properly attended to, when the injured person does not get the benefit of little simple help"

It was not always perfectly clear at first thought just what Ben CaId0a meant when be spoke. The best a nearer could do was to guess at the r most obvious meaning and let it go at that. In the matter of a captive moose. which belonged to Ben, the doctor fol- lowed this course. The moose was undoubtedly sick, and a veterinary had been summoned to attend him. Ben went out to the pen to assist the doc tor.
 ''Is he mortal, doc" asked Ben with extreme concern.
 Are you asking if he is sick?@ haz- arded the doctor
 Sure" replied Ben, "only I meant is he goin' to die from it?"
 Its too soon to tell, you yet,o re- piled the doctor, ''but he Las pneum0- mia pretty badly"
 Ben's eyes grew round with surprise. Pneumonia fn his experience had been confined to humankind.
 "Why, doc," he burst out, "does a. moose have features like grown per- son?"-Youth's Companion.

FIreman's Body Was Not Beside
 Dead Engineers
Fire Chief and Driver, Who Picked up Both Bodies,
 Take Exception
Man Who Rang in Alarm Which Called Apparatus Was Ira Reed of 1897 Fairfield
 Avenue

Fire Chief Edward Mooney takes exception to the statements publish ed that the bodies of Engineer w. A. Curtis and Fireman A. M. Ryan were found close together in the wreckage of the Federal Express.
 Chief Mooney and his driver, Percy M Searles, found the body of the engineer lying in the road. clear ef any wreckage. It was near the wreck ed sleeper.
 The body of Ryan, the fireman, was found about 50 feet farther away from Fairfield avenue, at a point where the day coach had picked up huge boul- der and fetched up at the foot of a telegraph pole.
 The body of the fireman was un- derneath the day coach, which was on it's side, almost upside down. In or der to get at Ryan's body, the fire men had to chop out the roof of the day coach.
 The alarm which brought the fire men to the scene of the wreck, was rung in by Ira Reed, of 1897 Fairfield avenue, from Box 256 at Fairfield and Dewey street. Outside of the railroad men directly concerned in the acci- dent, Reed was the sole eye witness of the wreck. He rang in the alarm several minutes after the wreck oc- cured,
 Within three minutes of the ringing of the alarm, AT firemen were at work at the wreck. The first firemen were warned back from the wreck, and told that the cars were charged with live wires and to go into the wreck meant surely to be electrocuted. The fire men disregarded this warning and plunged into the wreck, doing great work in rescuing the wounded and getting. out the bodies of the dead.
 ''I have no theory of the cause of the wreck said Fire Chief Mooney, this morning, when asked why the coroner had mot summoned him, 'tl tell the coroner any impor- tant facts about what caused the wreck. All that the ffremen know about the wreck is that they got out there. saw the wreck, and did their

Welded and Parted' is what might
 be termed a chapter from daily life.
 as life is daily experienced, at no time
 resorting to anything but what is
 within the bounds of plausibility. The various characterize tions are all talk
 en from life, and in it's entirety, is a vivid portrayal Of the lives and loves of every day people, truly pictured. and intelligently written. This is one of the big recent successes of Messrs. Cohan and Harris, who had this ex- hiiarating play on tour for several seasons to record breaking business, in the metropolitan cities. Under the careful direction of Joseph D. Cliff ton, there should be a perfect per- formance. not only of this production but of future ones, several of which he is the author. The cast is com posed of thoroughly schooled artists, all of whom have been previously identified with prominent stars and leading attractions.

When the World Wa. orun,<.

Nowhere in all the world today can be found as many confirmed drunk ards as there were among the Thra- clans, the Iberians, the Celts or the /Scythians. The man who didn't get drunk every day or two was regarded as queer. The Greeks were moderate drinkers until they began to copy the luxury of the Persian feasts. The Ro- mans initiated the Greeks. Then the whole world went on mad drunk It was a saturnalia. Caligula owes his niche ip the hall of fame to the drunk en banquets with which he made even Rome marvel. The excesses made fashionable by such potentates as Lu- cullus, Nero, verres, Tiberius, Ca1igu- la, Vitellius and Domitian really began in the days of Pompeii, and they mark the beginning of the end of the repub- hc.-Argonaut.

ShelIeIs and Half ShekeIs.

The early Biblical references to pieces of silver do not in the original convey the idea of coins, but of weights, shekels.

The first Jewish coinage under authority was, it is believed, struck by Simon. the Maccabee, about the year TAO B. c. It consisted of shekels and half shekels.
