A Titanic Recollection

TIME other day I met man who
was on the Inflated Titanic
When the boilers burst, and
the great ship took her final plunge,
my friend felt himself going down
into the waters. Being an expert
enced swimmer, he involuntarily
knew enough not to inhale. He held
his breath, but he did q good deal
of thinking.
So down he went. but he knew,
though, that soon he would be COM
ing to the top, and it was only a
question of being able to hold his
breath long enough to escape i'm
mediate drowning.
When he felt himself coming TO
the surface a great joy possessed
his soul. AS his head came above
the water he reached out his arms.
tiattened himself on the surface of
the wave, as nearly as possible,
and took in a great big breath.
Ihen he looked up at the stars ana
gratitude filled his mind.
He was still alive: his senses
were intact; he was able TO think,
to- breathe, to realize, to see the
shining stars. He felt as one who
had been dead, like Lazarus, and
returned to earth. He was alive!
His Sense of Gratitude.
But suddenly there came to him
the thought that he. could only
swim for little while. The water
was icy cold. and he began to look
around for deliverance.
About 100 feet away he saw a
floating spar, and II came to him
that If he could reach that spar ii
would, indeed, be Paradise. So he
struck out for the spar. 1t seemed
TO be floating away from him as he
swan, but through great effort he
reached IL, grasped Il with his
hands, drew himself up and then
sat on &.
When he felt that II was holding
his weight he was relieved. Again
he was filled with great sense of
gratitude Ana as he sat on that
SPAR holding on with hands ana

dren in the crowded Storage made
room for him. and when he was in
the bunk he said to himself, Sure
ly, this is paradise!" and he closed
his eyes in gratitude.
But after an hour or two the cry
ing of the children, the smell of
cooking, the presence of many peo-
Pile began to pail on him. He felt
that he must get away from this
mob. SO he called to a petty officer
and begged that he might have a
cabin.
And a bunk was found for him in
a cabin. And here in this cabin he
was very happy, and he said, This
is paradise, indeed!" And he rest
ed and thought, and tried to write
out kilograms to send to his friends
when he reached shore
He slept soundly that night, but
when he aWoke in the morning he
realized that the cabin wasn't ex-
aetly right. And so he asked the
steward who came to wait on him
if there was not a berth somewhere
in cabin on the upper deck. And
the steward said that every bunk
was full excepting, possibly, one
berth in the captains cabin.
This Story's Moral.
And so my friend took pencil in
hand and wrote letter to the cap
tain of the ship. And this is a copy
of the letter:
Dear Sir-This cabin in
which I am located is right
alongside of the engines. / hear
the clank and clash of machin-
cry all the night time through.
/ am awakened by the noise
and foul air for this cabin is
very small and lily ventilated.
81 understand that you have
vacant bunk in your cabin
on the upper deck. Kind sir,
please send word by bearer, al
lowing me TO occupy this cabin
with YOU, and ! with ever be
YOUR SINCERE FRIEND"
No answer came from the cap
tain, but the moral OF this true
story Is this: Nobody Is ever salts
fled with anything after he gets It.

The Privilege He Asked.


Just then he saw a boat pulling
away, at so on 100 yards distance.
He shouted, and called again and
again. And slowly the boat turned
in his direction. 1t came nearer
and nearer, and he knew that if he
could once set in that boat and
feel that the boat was under him it
would he Paradise indeed.
And in few minutes the wish
came to pass, and he was in the
boat. He was exhausted, too weak
10 even lift his hand But the
joy was exquisite; he was with hu-
man beings
So they doated with the tide, and
they pulled the oars. After a long
time flush of pink came into the
east, and they knew that day would
soon come.
And then they saw a great gray
like form, with many lights away
off in the distance. They prayed,
they wept, they waited-there was
nothing else to do.
The Carpathia came nearer, and
my friend bTeathed a great prayer
that he might be able to climb the
side of the ship and lie on the deck
That was all he would ask-sim-
ply the privilege of lying fiat on the
deck, and knowing that the ship
was beneath him
And his prayer was answered.
He climbed up the rope ladder and
knelt on the deck in thankfuIness.
But soon he realized that strength
had gone out of him, and he begged
that he be placed In the meanest

AS a Judge of the superior court
of the Atlanta circuit, l have pre-
sided in hundreds of divorce cases
and have, of course, had unusual
opportunity of observing the effect
upon the home, the lives of sepa-
rated husbands and wives, the chill
, dren of divorced parties, and upon
the community at large, as brought
about by family jars" culminat-
ing in applications for alimony and
suits for annulment of the mar
riage tie. 1 have become accus-
toned 10 regard the divorce case,
as the divorce evil" and 1 never
close that particular part of the
court proceedings known as "the
divorce docket" without apprehen-
sion for the future, and without
general disgust for much of what
in this regard is now upon us.
A Growing Evil.
The trouble Is that it is a growing
evil; it grows out of all proportion
to most other ills Of life, and a
study of statistics will show that
it grows not only with rapid
strides, but it grows in its appA
cation to all classes of people, and
apparently grows in the liberation
of people who once looked upon 1t
with horror.
In a volume issued by the United
States census office in 1911, entitled
Special Reports-Marriage and
Divorce, 1867 to 1906" is set forth
an immense amount of statistical
information on this subject, and
from the two volumes have culled
the figures and conclusions which
will be set forth in this paper.

vorce rate is higher in the United
States than in any foreign country

age, the annual number of divorces
per thousand population the United
States exceeds France, England,
Germany, Norway, Sweden and
Austria almost two to one. This is
q bad showing for our boasted CIV
ilization, for our claim to exalted
ideals, for our demand for the sane
tity of home, for our efforts to ele-
vate and educate our children, for
our religious views and for our
clamor for pure and intelligent citi-
zenship.
Great Number of Divorces.
Another distressing situation is
shown In the fact that in the United
States the rate of increase in di-
vorce is far greater than the in
crease in population. Between the

Of divorce 1874 per cent. while ~
the decade from 1890 to 1900 tba
rate of increase in divorce was
three times the rate Of the increase

Statistical evidence declares this

the chances are that not less than
one marriage in every sixteen will
probably be terminated by divorce
and that it seems reasonable to
suppose that the ratio will be near.
er one out OF every twelve. What
horrid spectacle this presents to
the man and woman who. doing
their duty in the present, hope for
the future of their children and
children's children, who yearn for
the time when pesterity will enjoy
all we have today and be more
enlightened and elevated to enioy
the good things that may be dis.
covered. or enlarged, or perfected
in the future. This statistical in
formation develops many interest.
ing questions, none of which, how.
ever, tend to encourage the hope
that this divorce evil will abate, IN
less some raical effort is made and
put into effect to make divorce
more difficult to obtain and less
respectable in the estimation Of tn,
best people of our country.
Higher in West.
The divorce rate in the United
States increases as one goes West
ward. The highest rate per 100000
estimated population was iii the
Western division. In that division
it is four times that reported in the
Atlantic division. The North CEN
trail division was almost two and
two thirds times that of the NORTH
Atlantic division, while that for the
South central division was two and
three quarters that of the South
Atlantic division, which latter in
cludes the states of North and
South Carolina and Georgia.
Including all causes for divorce
permitted by the several states OF
the Union, twice as many divorces
are granted to the wife as to the
husband. For habitual drunken
ness about three times as many d.
vorces are granted to the wife as
are granted to the husband. For
cruel treatment divorces granted to
the wife exceed those granted to
the husband by approximately ten
to one. For desertion divorces
granted to the wife exceed those
granted to the husband in the pro-
portion of about two to one.

"A meeting of the creditors of the

Mr.. Waterman explained that that
was a statutory meeting called to de-
eide whether another liquidatOr

that the property would be sold, and
that enough would he realized to pay
