Heroism in Hot Hole.


Tales of heroism on the great trans
atlantic liners are usually suppressed, as
they would create excitment and worry
among the passengers However. one Is
now told of an engineer on the Carmania
who took his life in his hands so that the
great ship might not lost six hours at
sea. On it's recent run across to New
York one of the three turbines went out
of commission, and in order that the
other two could be kept going It was
necessary to shut some doors in It, The
captain felt that it would take six hours
for the turbine to cool sufficiently TO
permit a man to enter IT, and the chief
engineer said he would order none of his
staff in until this time had elapsed. But
Third Engineer A. c. McCutcheon
thought differently, and volunteered to
go into the turbine When the manhole
was opened thermometer at its mouth
registered 17s degrees. but McCutcheon
took long breath and slipped in. Five
minutes later he came out for air and
then went back, He did this three times
before he could finish his work. But he
accomplished his purpose, and the ship
continued almost on time. The chief
engineer says that his assistant probably
worked in a temperature of 200 degrees,

A Crook and His stamps.

Whether a man is criminal or law
abiding citizen he ought to take pains to
stick his postage stamps on exactly
straight" said an old detective, quoted
by the sun. IF he is straight he won't
lose anything by it and II he is crooked
he will gain. When ! was in the govern
ment service the first thing ! found out
about a man under suspicion was the way
he stuck on his stamps. One of the clev-
crest swindlers l ever landed was tracked
through his stamps
After you put a stamp on a certain
way for little while 1t becomes second
nature and you stick 1t on that way un-
consciously. That was what that man
did. All his stamps were stuck on oiag-
onally, leaving a little triangle of a GER
tain size at the corner of the envelope.
He was slippery lellow and had eluded
our vigilance for several months. One
day I happened to be lettering around
the postoffice Of country town where I
had gone on another trail. The mail
came in and through the little window
1. watched the postmo ster sort II. FTes-
emily ] spotted a nenvelope With the
stamp stuck on in that triangular fash
ion. 1 got the postmsrk, hiked Jack to
that town and nabbed my man. II he
had put his stamps on straight probably
he never would have been caught"

''Ha!" Fanshawe exclaimed, as if

CLINKERS IN THE FURNACE.
Patience is the sweetest cure
For the things you can't endure
Clinkers in the furnace, say,
What's the use to waste away
Strength and energy and will,
When it's patience makes 'em spill
Loss and sorrow, grief and care
CHnkers in the furnace there,
Where the life-fire will not glow
AS it ought to do, we know
Don't get angry, work and wait
There are clinkers in the CRATE!
Everything you try 70 do
Seems to pan out bad for you.
Business troubles set you wild
Don't be angry, like child,
Shake the furnace patiently
Till you set the clinkers free!
Half the time we fuss and fret,
With our teeth together set,
Blaming fortune and our luck
1t is just a clinker chuck
In between the living Goals
OF our torn and troubled souls.
