THE TITANIC DISASTER

The more we read of the Tt
tanic disaster the more the opinion
grows that Captain Smith was,
careless Of the lives and property
in his charge. Warned the day
before the awful accident to his
ship that an ice field was in front
Of him. he seemingly paid no heed
to the warning but crowded on
more steam in order to make
more speed and win q record for
his splendid ship, This would
make the Titanic famous the world
over and bring d harvest of gold to
its owners. This is the way the
Captains action appears to lis.
1t may be that Captain Smiths
supreme confidence in the ability of
his ship to withstand all dangers
of the sea warped his judgement.
But even if this be true, he should,
rs a prudent man. have avoided
the ice field he knew was in his
front.
Captain Smith may have been
careless and negligent of the lives
of his passengers but when the
supreme test came he proved him
self every inch a hero. He saw
that the women and children were
put in the life boats and Stayed
with his ship until it sunk beneath
the waves. 1t may be that it is
cruel to even intimate that he was
negligent and careless, but that is
the way it looks to an ordinary
man who knows nothing about the
sea.

Exercise.


Exercise in its general significance
Is glorious thing. It is not, how
ever. anything much In It's purely
physical sense. Thus, a person with
large muscles and not very big wits
is OF almost no value to society.
whereas person who has exercised
both Is often indispensable. Exercises
for the wits are very diflcult. There
Is nothing to do 100 times, or 80 times.
1t is not something to which one can
give 20 minutes the first thing in the
morning and then go the rest Of the
day. Socrates, who was the Sandow
of mental exercise, kept his pupils at
1T pretty much Of the time. There is
one phase Of It which Ia especially
hard. This Is the exercise Of ones
rights. Unexercised rights are much
worse than unexercised muscles.
Thus, after voting, we are ordinarily
mentally stir and sore for several
days. This is because, unaccustoned
to exercising our rights, we strain
them
z The secret of It all Is to exercise
your muscles little, your wits ALT
tie and your rights little. Az the
Greeks said, Nothing too much."T

GREEK LABORERE BURNED
TO DEATH At ELY

Ian Sapolo. "a Greek laborer at
the smelter at McGill, was roasted
to death Tuesday night while work
ing at the foot of the Stag pile.
He was working by himself when
the molten Stag burst from its shell
and flo we'd down upon him, form
ing flaming pot around him and
covering him entirely. He was
roasted to death in a few minut es.
An inquest was held and the jury
brought in a verdict that he came
to his death from his own careless
ness.
A number of the laborers heard
his cries when the Stag first struck
him and ran to the scene, but
were powerless to help him and
had to stand and watch him burn
to death. ..t

JUDGING MEN IN SENTENCES

IN ntencing Federal prisoners

Farri gton has a habit of sizing up
the victim. A few well.directed
words generally brings forth re.

benefit of justice and mercy.
Some fatherly advice is given and
a light sentence follows,
Then there is the class that

In such cases as q rule they stand

WARD OF GOVERNMENT

Almost thirty years ago, so the
archives of the war department
disclose, Lieutenant W. A. Kobbe
of the Third artillery, who was
stationed at Mount Vernon bar
racks, Alabama, reported to the
war department that there was at
that post a white mul named
Mexique, which had been for
many years ii the service of the
limited States, but which had at
last been ordered old. The officers
Of the post, Lieutenant Kohbe
said. desired permission to pur.
chase the animal and keep and
care for it at their own expense.
Major F. L. Guenther of the
Second artillery to whom the
petition was referred, reported
that the mule in question was
originally left at Key West bar
racks in l848 by a portion of the
army returning from Mexico at
the close Of the war with that
country. He added:
During the time that l served
at Kew West, from 1875 to 1880,
the mule did not miss a days work
from any cause. He is very Ole
and has been worn out by his long
service in the quarter masters de-
partment. If there is any way tt
provide for him, l should be glaC
to have it done, as the expense tt
the government would be little or
nothing"
The petition went through the
regular channels until it reahed the
quartermaster general. who in
dorsed it as follows:
"To promote the sentiment OF
kindness toward animals that are
so intimately connected with mill.
tary men, it is recommended ir
this special case that this mule be
kept in the department and left tt
the care of those whose kir dly
feelings are so deeply enlisted in
his behalf"
General Sheramn submitted the
case to the secretary of war, with
the following report:
