STORY ABOUT AN OLD MAN

Duluth Labor World: Jim Beatty was
quite along in years-nobody knew how
old, and it doesn't matter-but he
sometimes got jobs about the Santa Fe
wharves at San Diego. He wore poor
clothes, wasn't always washed, and
lived alone in little hut in the suburbs.
Nobody inquiries much about man like
that, you know, and so, whence he cape
or what the life-trials that had wrin-
killed. his face and bent his body we can
not tell you. All well! he was just a
derelict, just a piece Of society's fot-
sam with which the Pacific coast is
strewn. He lived by himself with his
secrets and the world was willing to let
him. ..
One day last week. Jim was passing
near some children who; were playing
with box Of matches upon the side
walk. Little, Renee Clements clothes
took fire. Jim sprang to her, clasped
her in his arms, smothered the flames
with his own body. Then, horribly burns
ed himself, he worked\ his way through
the crowd and went to his hut to bed.
Alone, blistered, burning with thirst,
without food, company or help of any
sort, Jim tossed and groaned upon his
poor couch for two days and nights.
Then, in some way, maybe through Him
who notes even the sparrow's fall, the
parents of the Clement child got word
Of Jim and visited him with help in
their hands. He smiled at them through
his blisters. ''I wanted to save that
little gill; said Jim, "and never
thought Of my own danger. = You
see, the idea that he had saved the
child had been keeping Jim up all the
time he laid there hungry, thirsty,
lonely, in the agony of dreadful burns.
But Mr.. Clement bowed his head.
"Our little Renee died the morning
after,' he murmered. Then old Jim
Beaty's eyes filled and, with great
sigh, he turned his face to the wall.'
And now it seems as if the whole
world wanted to know old Jim Beatty,
the recluse, the dockwalloper, the hero
in the old faded blue overalls. They
nurse him. They give him good things
to eat They talk about Carnegie
medal for him. They say he is grand.
They love him. Honestly, many Of them
love all humanity better because Of
him, for they have come to believe that,
often, with the patched overalls, the
calloused hands, the laborstained face
and the rough exterior Of the common
toiler goes the soul of the greatest of
heros-the soul of him who is willing
to lay down his life for another.

The Titanic disaster is already be-
coming only a memory, but some things
about it should not be forgotten, and
these figures are among them: So per
cent Of the saloon passengers were
saved, A. per cent Of the second class,
and rs per cent Of the third class. Of
the women, 81 per cent Of the first
class were rescued, 81 per cent of the
second, and IS per cent Of the third.
All of children in the first and second
classes were saved, but only 80 per
cent Of the third. The London nation
well calls these figures a damaging

Wholesale meat prices in New York
are higher than they have been since
1882, and markets throughout the coun-
try show the effect. The result will be
that people will have to be more
economical. A little less meat eating
during hot weather won't hurt any
body, provided substitutes are provid-
eds The wholesale price of fresh fish at
present is reasonable, and the retail
price should follow, making it more
economical to buy than meat, as well
as. giving a healthy and agreeable
dividual that believes he must have
meat three times a d;;y, VIM have it.,
and if so, must be prepared to pay the
price. 1t is not apparent, in this era of
high meat prices, that the original
beef producer is getting any large part
of the increase. The big packers, as
usual, are reaping the harvest.

crime is in reviving old severity, says

His first offense was stealing some
forks-10 years penal servitude. The
next time he stole a box-10 years
more. Then Of these offenses, the pre-
siding magistrate observed, he would

small offenses -
